Upon putting on a pair of slacks today, I remembered why I seldom wear them. I look like I have two butts. One in front and one in back.

I am convinced Social Media has made people dumber.

Kevin O’Leary’s comments about young people making sandwiches instead of ordering out are going viral, and honestly, a lot of what I’m seeing on social media about it annoys the hell out of me First off, it is hard to be a young adult right now. Inflation is brutal. Housing is expensive and in short supply. Groceries, gas, insurance, and energy costs are hitting everyone hard. Starting out today is not easy, and pretending otherwise is disconnected from reality. But what I completely reject is this growing narrative that boomers somehow “stole” prosperity from younger generations or should now give up what they worked for. My parents are boomers. They started their marriage with almost nothing. They lived in a depressing basement apartment in downtown Lexington before moving into a tiny rental house. My dad worked his way up at Pepsi-Cola over a 30-year career, starting in the warehouse and eventually becoming controller of the company. My parents didn’t buy their first home until I was in fifth grade, and even then it was a very modest ranch house. We ate at home almost every night. Going out to eat was rare. There were no Amazon packages showing up daily, no DoorDash, no expensive vacations, no constant lifestyle spending. A lot of people today act like previous generations all bought mansions at 23 while working part-time jobs, and that simply isn’t reality for most families. That doesn’t mean young people should just “stop complaining.” There are real economic problems we need to address. I help my own kids financially because I know how difficult things are. But I also expect them to spend responsibly, avoid wasting money, and work toward independence. No one is owed an easy life. Most people struggle at some point. I’ve worked three jobs at once as a single mom just to survive. It wasn’t fun, and I don’t wish that on my kids, but struggle is sometimes part of building a better future. Blaming “boomers” for everything won’t fix housing shortages or lower grocery prices. Spending all day online complaining won’t either. If people want change, get involved. Push for housing reform. Support policies that increase supply, competition, energy affordability, and economic opportunity. Build something. Contribute to your community. Fight for solutions instead of resentment. Quit whining. No one “owes” you anything.

I was raised to believe in this country. 🇺🇸 To respect authority. To trust that the people we elect genuinely have our best interests at heart. That belief was everything to me. So when they said the 💉 was safe and effective, and was the right thing to do, I complied. Because that's what I was raised to do. That's what trust looks like. That's what being a good citizen looks like. What destroys me is this: the very belief system that taught me to love and respect freedom was the same one that made me vulnerable to surrendering it. I will carry that truth for the rest of my life. I am a 47 year old American citizen, born and raised in FL. A mother of two wonderful children, who paid her taxes, cared about her community and did everything by the book. I was completely healthy... ...until 4 months postpartum in 2021. What nobody told me, what nobody warned me about, is that I should NEVER have received that poison. Being postpartum should have been a hard NO. But nobody said that. They just kept pushing. Fraud by Fauci. I have spent the last 4.5 years fighting just to exist. Every specialist. Every ologist. But finally, last November, I was diagnosed with a vaccine injury. It was unfathomable to comprehend. But the timeline was so obvious when I looked back. Thanks, Pfizer. I have since been on triple anticoagulants. I have widespread amyloid clots and had a stent placed in my body just 6 weeks ago. But I am still on fire. Burning from head to toe, 24/7. My skin feels like I was dunked in sulfuric acid. 💥😡 All while missing almost every day of my baby girl's life because the relentless burning that consumes my body every single day leaves me with nothing. Nothing but survival. I have learned to adapt and manage the pain by sleeping. Sleeping while the world has moved on. While others enjoy their lives and celebrate occasions. While my little business, that has provided for my family for the last 20 years, suffered egregious losses because I cannot function. Many, many times I have wanted to end the pain. Losing hope time and time again, one failed treatment after another. To pay for my injuries, I drained my savings, liquidated my investments, and when there was nothing left, I sold my beautiful SUV today and sadly watched it drive away. 💔 What purpose does it serve sitting in the garage? I cannot drive due to the cognitive impact this poison has had on my brain. But today, the narrative changes. 🙏 Plane ticket is booked ✅ Airbnb booked ✅ And on June 2nd I will begin treatment at Edogawa Hospital in Japan 🇯🇵 My hope is restored, thanks to the brilliant @KevinMcCairnPhD🙏 Because my own country left me with nowhere else to go. This journey is not just about me. I hope millions follow along. I hope the data from patients like me traveling to Japan reaches US clinical trials, opens doors and forces the conversations this country has refused to have. 🙏 This is bigger than one woman. This is about all of us. When will the US of A take action and right the wrongs for the millions affected? 🤔 I am done being quiet. We are one of millions still waiting for this country to reckon with what was done to us. Until then I will keep fighting. I will keep speaking out. And I will not stop. 💯 @SecKennedy @DrJBhattacharya @POTUS @VP @RonJohnsonWI @RandPaul @ThomasMassie @RepMTG @SenatorCassidy @AaronSiriSG @SiriGlimstad @MaryBowdenMD @DrMargaretShow @BrianneDressen @IamJessicaSutta @KyleWarnerMTB @CatsRule2023 @React19org @ChildrensHD @FLCCC @DigitalCovidC19 @CharlesRixey @KevinMcCairnPhD @CoyoteSanctuary @EpochHealth @RFKJr_Official @Brad7910 @HouseLyndseyRN @IreneMavrakakis @KenCaptn20114 @KennyCarmody @robert65968 @POTUS @RFKJr_Official #VaccineInjured #VaccineInjury #VaccineDamage #VaccineHarm #LongVax #CovidVaccineInjury #mRNA #mRNAInjury #SpikeProtein #MicroClots #BloodClots #PostVaccine #VaccineSideEffects #VaccineVictims #WeAreNotStatistics #React19 #MedicalFreedom #HealthFreedom #InformedConsent

My take for what it's worth: The music stars stumping for Harris couldn't get her elected because she was unelectable. What makes the chattering class think they won Trump's election for him?

Just a flower in my garden.

What kind of person thinks dirty chonies and a toothpaste tube are trophies?

The more I watch it the funnier it gets 🤣

Umm.

This is one of the most beautiful moments you will ever witness. Sir Nicholas Winton helped 669 children — most of them Jewish — escape the Holocaust. His humanitarian accomplishments would remain unknown and unnoticed by the world for nearly 50 years. Then in 1988 he was invited to the BBC TV show That's Life!. There he sat — unknowingly — as part of the studio audience, surrounded by the children he had rescued. They were now adults. Then they surprised him with one of the greatest gifts of all time. Their presence. They were there, all alive — because of him. Not only was he reunited with dozens of children he had saved, but he was also introduced to many of their children and grandchildren. Please remember Sir Nicholas Winton, for his humanitarian operation known as the Czech Kindertransport. Sir Nicholas George Winton, a British stockbroker, and a gift to this planet, left us on July 1, 2015, at the age of 106. May his memory forever be a blessing and inspiration to all. Please share. International Holocaust Day cannot be forgotten. But many are working to make that happen.🕯️♥️

BLACKBIRD not BLUEBIRD It is untrue that the SR 71 is dark blue. This is another untrue. Rumor that is circulating out there. AI picks up false rumors, and then state it at the truth. In order for the Blackbird to fly at Mach 3, or 3 times the speed of sound, the front of the aircraft would be exposed to temperatures up to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, or 500 degrees Celsius. This is due friction from the air molecules colliding with the leading edges of the aircraft, converting their potential energy into thermal energy — heat. Hence the faster you fly, the higher temperatures the plane will be subject to. However, remember that the plane will be flying at about 70,000 ft, where the temperature outside is -67 degrees Fahrenheit (-55 degrees Celsius). This means that parts of the plane will be in extreme heat while other parts are subject to extreme cold. The solution that Lockheed engineers came up with was surprisingly simple — black paint. SkunkWorks’ Ben Rich remembered an elementary lesson from school: Kirchoff’s law of thermal radiation. This basically states that a good absorber is a good admit, and a good absorber of heat is a black body.  The black paint generated an Emissivity value of 0.93 compared with 0.38 for bare titanium, resulting in a reduction in the surface temperature of 15 to 30 degrees Celsius, which is a gain thought well worth the additional 60 lbs of weight because of the paint. It is great at distributing heat across a surface. please share this article so that artificial intelligence will adjust and report the truth. The A-12, YF-12 M-21 and the SR-71 painted black! Not blue! Post by Linda Sheffield Please share this article so that artificial intelligence will adjust and report the truth.

Nine years? Didn't use it much when it was the bird. #MyXAnniversary

This fall morning isn't as cool as it ought to be but I'll take it.

I found this stuffed into an inner pocket of my travel back pack. I bought it in Cambria CA in July and just forgot about it. I flew to SC in Sept grumbling about how heavy my bag was. I learned TSA will flag foil covered journals but not fossils.

A message to @realDonaldTrump from Canada. Please repost.

RT if President Trump should classify ANTIFA as a Domestic Terror organization!

This is the most blathering non-apology apology. Bye CB, it was nice knowing you.

What’s up

I waited for years for Cracker Barrel to come to So Cal. I loved the whole old fashioned Southern vibe. I eat there every chance I get. Don't think I will anymore. The only winning move for @CrackerBarrel to do is to fire all of upper management and hire people who have old fashioned values and know how to do Southern food. Get rid of the wokies and people who think Cracker Barrel needed fixing.
