After failing to pass Trump’s budget package on Friday, GOP lawmakers reconvened Sunday night and voted to pass the reconciliation package.”
Morning! Hope this is good news
So much pros and cons on this bill

Americans died in Afghanistan.
Little girls were strangled and raped and murdered by illegals.
Donald Trump was almost assassinated twice.
25 million more illegals came into our country.
Innocent people were jailed and terrorized by the FBI.
An election was stolen.
All thanks to Joe Biden.
He sucks! Stop praying for him and pretending like he’s an honorable person! He is a monster.

This is the most cynical thing I’ve ever seen in American politics. It’s astounding, truly. Biden has stage 4 cancer. There is no way in hell they just caught it now. They knew it, probably for years, and lied to the American people. And then they waited until two days before a book comes out about the cover up of his mental decline so that they could change the subject and quiet all criticism in the name of “compassion” for a sick man. The whole thing is so transparent. These people are evil beyond words.

Hello to my friends on the train
So many of you are hurting… physically, emotionally
Personally and friend/family related
Me too - just muddling my way best I can and trusting God
Mini update on homefront
Still ups and downs with son. God had blessed us as his liver disease is GONE. We were told 6 months life expectancy- no cure
BUT other issues remain. He’s still in grief over death of his 19year old son. Now powerfully at anger stage. I’m unfortunately the one who is the recipient of that anger. I myself go the spectrum in response - Between screaming in my soul - I gotta get out of this place
To
Step back. Trust God. Be still and know that I am God and patience . God is patient. God is kind
Years ago had exactly same scenario with mom. A sweet(frustrating narcissistic gal unfortunately) I never did really figure what the problem was
My escapes were then outdoorsy -long LONG hikes with pups, century bike rides, kayaking all day down rivers
Now
Playing in dirt in garden, playing in kitchen … reading n some crafting
As we age we must adjust with understanding and gratitude for what we had in past and trusting God to help us grow with new endeavors
Had a great day yesterday. Laundry day yesterday was glorious
Why
Because I dropped off equivalent of 7 loads of laundry and picked it up later for 35$. Well worth it for me
Shoppjng for food. Shoppjng at Walgreens for supplements . Puttering in kitchen(therapeutic)
Several here wear hearing aids-as I do
My hearing aids from Beltone last year 5000$
Can’t hear understand person sitting next to me and 75$ for cleaning
BUMMER Unexceptable
This years allotment 2200 with United Health care
I’m search for other options
You and Jem have been the bullworks holding down the train
Thank you
Realize you allegiance is “elsewhere ”

HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT? WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN’T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ? …AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO??? I am going to call for a major investigation into this matter. Candidates aren’t allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment. In addition, this was a very expensive and desperate effort to artificially build up her sparse crowds. IT’S NOT LEGAL! For these unpatriotic “entertainers,” this was just a CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL way to capitalize on a broken system. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!

In the early 1980s, Paul Newman leaned over his kitchen counter in Connecticut, carefully whisking together olive oil, vinegar, garlic, mustard, and a pinch of his signature dry spices. The fresh scent of herbs filled the air, but his face remained serious as he handed the bowl to Joanne Woodward, who sat at the counter with a glass of wine. She tasted the mixture and, raising an eyebrow, commented, “It’s good, but you’ve got to ease up on the garlic.” Paul chuckled, picking up the whisk again, ready to make the adjustments. This seemingly simple kitchen experiment would eventually give rise to a lasting legacy: Newman’s Own.
For Paul, cooking was far more than a hobby—it was an outlet for creativity. He often referred to his kitchen as his “edible art studio.” His recipes were often met with rave reviews, though Joanne’s candid critiques were an essential part of the process. Dinner parties at the Newmans’ became legendary, with guests savoring his latest culinary creations, from slow-simmered tomato sauces to bold barbecue marinades.
Newman’s Own began unexpectedly. One year, during their holiday tradition, Paul decided to bottle his homemade salad dressing as gifts for friends and neighbors. After spending hours pouring the mixture into old wine bottles and sealing them with hand-designed labels, the “secret recipe” quickly spread by word of mouth. Joanne, ever practical, recognized potential in the venture. “You’ve got something here,” she told him. “Why not make it official?”
In 1982, Newman’s Own was founded. Paul ensured the brand stood apart by maintaining high product quality and committing that all profits would go to charity. Joanne played a crucial role, helping guide the brand and ensuring its focus remained on giving back. The couple faced early doubts from distributors, but Joanne’s sharp negotiating skills and confident approach secured their first major distribution deal.
As the company expanded into pasta sauces, popcorn, and lemonade, the Newmans maintained a personal touch in every decision. Paul and Joanne were deeply involved in every step of the process, from selecting ingredients to designing the quirky labels. One of their proudest achievements was the creation of the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, a summer camp for children with serious illnesses, funded entirely by Newman’s Own profits.
By the time Paul passed away in 2008, Newman’s Own had donated over $250 million to charitable causes—a number that continues to grow. Joanne, though deeply grieving, remained dedicated to carrying on Paul’s legacy. “This is what Paul would have wanted,” she said, her voice resolute, continuing the couple’s philanthropic mission.

Americans are so easy to psyop.
Release a fake diagnosis for a criminal who destroyed millions of lives, just as his crimes are coming to light.
Just gotta make sure the type of cancer is one of the most common, so you can gain maximum virtue signaling from the masses.

Were they hiding the Biden Cancer diagnosis? I don’t know.
But it’s for damn sure really sus that just as Democrats were taking major hits for the cover-up, the diagnosis drops to chill the conversation.
The miscalculation was that we would just stop talking about it…
No… You’ve lied to us too many times for far too long. We ask questions now.
Thanks for sharing, sometimes we get all caught up in our own stuff not realizing someone else is having greater challenges. Humbles me to hear your share.

Joe Biden was an illegitimate president who was not duly elected by the people. He was installed.
His corpse should not lie in state at the Capitol Rotunda upon his passing.
What will be even more sickening and disgusting is how the trash media, Democrats, and Republicans will sing the praises of someone who was mentally incapacitated and took inappropriate showers with his underage daughter and always inappropriately touched underage kids.
He sold his office to foreign countries to benefit himself and his family, and it was all covered up by the media and the government. He was a traitor.
Spare us the groveling BS over an evil human being.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨
The Supreme Court has overturned (8-1) a lower court’s injunction, temporarily permitting the Trump administration to proceed with canceling the legal status of over 500,000 migrants who entered the United States through Biden’s CHNV mass parole program.
This included aliens from counties like Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
