That’s good news
The situation there promises vigilante tactics
That’s really a good one! And not just humor ! No doubt true
*HUG*
Thanks, Judy!I didn’t mean to pop off on ya,
but man, it’s infuriating!
Maine is a very “poor” state, and life is really
tough in the winter.
Remember Vance talking about how his Mom sometimes
had to turn off the heat at night?
Lots of folks up here have to do that too. do that, too.
Mr B and I use wood heat as a back up and we
“bank” the fire at night to keep the price of our heating bills down.
Then I see these ILLEGALS get everything handed to them
and the top of me head wants to explode!
Good post Spunky - I was thinking the same thing.
Recall how back before the 2016 election yhey did some cropping and pasting with videos many times to turn people against Trump(my brother was one. Believed then and now every Media post.
I was especially angry over the one where they said DJT was making fun of a handicapped man
Weaponizing hurricanes / storms
If this is true, any and all involved need to be taken in a gymnasium - closed doors. No cameras. The reception party survivors of this nightmare who will all have baseball bats
Remember the humor years ago with Karl Rove & W working a weather controlling device? Maybe it wasn’t just humor but the start of using powerful technology
“I was especially angry over the one where they said DJT was making fun of a handicapped man”
My husbands niece to this day belives he was doing that. I showed her how he made those same gestures many times just exaggerating .
Her brother has Cerebral Palsy and he was made fun of in school so there is no changing her mind.
OMG What is this all about?

I am wondering what sort of meteorological factors were in play to move the hurricane more eastward from its original track and travel inland w/o dumping its water and then inland and westward over mountains. There was no additional water source and it should have dumped the load over east Alabama and Georgia, moving off over South Carolina. That is the usual track and behavior of hurricanes.

Ok… Secret Service Might want to look into this NOW!
At the Michigan Rally, a man right behind Trump made a hush sign and neck slash signal.
This past April in PA, a man right behind Trump did the same exact thing!
Something is definitely not right… pray for our president

Opps . I reposted same very suspicious info. Earlier I could not open your links and had no idea what they were about
Another thought re:Melania
If true timing sucks
Or does it….
As far as she is concerned
Maybe a passive/aggressive means to keep her husband safe via being a private citizen and former POTUS
Just a thought
Most fascinating pic ever captured

I haven’t watched fox news for many, many years. I used to watch all the time and saw Steve Doucey every morning. I just saw this video on X and I am concerned. He looks emaciated, like a person battling a serious cancer.

Well, I don’t know how it would keep him safe, but I can see it costing him the election. If she thinks for one minute he’s not royally screwed if he loses, she’s not too bright. If President Trump loses this election, the Harris DOJ is going to have him in jail faster than the speed of sound. It will be the end of the Trump family business.....and nobody will be able to stop it. There’s no such thing as going back to quiet private citizen life for President Trump.
Yes, timing is incredibly damaging. I can’t imagine why this was done.
Passing in the night Ms Judy
Came across this. Much interesting. Don’t agree with all but good food for thought and discussion

SOME SOCIAL RULES THAT MAY HELP YOU.
1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to.
2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the person who loaned it to you remembers or asks for it. It shows your integrity and character. The same goes for umbrellas, pens, and lunch boxes.
3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is treating you to lunch or dinner.
4. Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh, so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids?’ Or ‘Why haven’t you bought a house?’ Or ‘Why haven’t you bought a car?’ For God’s sake, it isn’t your problem.
5. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl, senior or junior. You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public.
6. If you take a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time.
7. Respect different shades of opinions. Remember, what may seem like 6 to you might appear as 9 to someone else. Besides, a second opinion is good for an alternative.
8. Never interrupt people while they are talking. Allow them to pour it out. As they say, hear them all and filter them all.
9. If you tease someone, and they don’t seem to enjoy it, stop it and never do it again. It encourages one to do more and shows how appreciative you are.
10. Say “thank you” when someone is helping you.
11. Praise publicly. Criticize privately.
12. There’s almost never a reason to comment on someone’s weight. Just say, “You look fantastic.” If they want to talk about losing weight, they will.
13. When someone shows you a photo on their phone, don’t swipe left or right. You never know what’s next.
14. If a colleague tells you they have a doctor’s appointment, don’t ask what it’s for, just say “I hope you’re okay.” Don’t put them in the uncomfortable position of having to tell you their personal illness. If they want you to know, they’ll do so without your inquisitiveness.
15. Treat the cleaner with the same respect as the CEO. Nobody is impressed by how rudely you treat someone below you, but people will notice if you treat them with respect.
16. If a person is speaking directly to you, staring at your phone is rude.
17. Never give advice until you’re asked.
18. When meeting someone after a long time, unless they want to talk about it, don’t ask them their age or salary.
19. Mind your business unless anything involves you directly - just stay out of it.
20. Remove your sunglasses if you are talking to anyone in the street. It is a sign of respect. Moreover, eye contact is as important as your speech.
21. Never talk about your riches in the midst of the poor. Similarly, don’t talk about your children in the midst of the barren.
22. After reading a good message, consider saying “Thanks for the message.”
APPRECIATION remains the easiest way of getting what you don’t have.
What were the saddest last words in history?
Few people know that the German doing the Nazi salute on the podium behind black American athlete Jesse Owens, Lutz Long, would become close friends with Owens. Long lived in Nazi Germany, where everyone was told each day of the supposed superiority of the Aryan race. But he, himself, didn’t feel that way at all.
Since the 1936 Olympics, until the days of WWII, Long and Owens exchanged letters. Even when Long was sent off to war, fighting in North Africa and Sicily, the two men still wrote to each other, checking in one one another, as they wrote of their wives, their families, hopes, fears and loves.
In North Africa in 1943, in the desert, Lutz Long wrote his final letter to Jesse Owens. A man he called his brother. His last ever known words, and they are haunting:
I am here, Jesse, where it seems there is only the dry sand and the wet blood. I do not fear so much for myself, my friend Jesse, I fear for my woman who is home, and my young son Karl, who has never really known his father.
My heart tells me, if I be honest with you, that this is the last letter I shall ever write. If it is so, I ask you something. It is a something so very important to me. It is you go to Germany when this war done, someday find my Karl, and tell him about his father. Tell him, Jesse, what times were like when we not separated by war. I am saying—tell him how things can be between men on this earth.
If you do this something for me, this thing that I need the most to know will be done, I do something for you, now. I tell you something I know you want to hear. And it is true. That hour in Berlin when I first spoke to you, when you had your knee upon the groud, I knew that you were in prayer. Then I not know how I know. Now I do. I know it is never by chance that we come together. I come to you that hour in 1936 for purpose more than der Berliner Olympiade.
And you, I believe, will read this letter, while it should not be possible to reach you ever, for purpose more even than our friendship. I believe this shall come about because I think now that God will make it come about. This is what I have to tell you, Jesse.
I think I might believe in God.
And I pray to him that, even while it should not be possible for this to reach you ever, these words I write will still be read by you.
Your brother,
Lutz
Jesse Owens received the letter, but by this time his friend and brother Lutz had been transferred to Sicily. He died defending it during the Allied invasion. More than thirty years after the war, an elderly Jesse Owens traveled to Germany and found Karl Long, the son of his best friend.
That’s Karl and Jesse Owens in the picture above. Jesse Owens kept his promise to his best friend. To see his son. To tell him about the father he never knew. To tell him of their friendship. To tell him father was a good man. A brave man and honorable man. Jesse Owens, himself, died shortly after meeting Karl.
69 years ago today, October 3, 1955, Captain Kangaroo premiered. It aired weekday mornings on CBS for nearly 30 years, from October 3, 1955 until December 8, 1984, making it the longest-running nationally broadcast children’s television program of its day. In 1986, the American Program Service (now American Public Television, Boston) integrated some newly produced segments into reruns of past episodes, distributing the newer version of the series until 1993.
The show was conceived and the title character played by Bob Keeshan, who based the show on “the warm relationship between grandparents and children”. Keeshan had portrayed the original Clarabell the Clown on The Howdy Doody Show when it aired on NBC. Captain Kangaroo had a loose structure, built around life in the “Treasure House” (later known as “The Captain’s Place”) where the Captain (the name “kangaroo” came from the big pockets in his coat) would tell stories, meet guests, and indulge in silly stunts with regular characters, both humans and puppets. Keeshan performed as Captain Kangaroo more than 9000 times over the nearly 30 year run of the show.
The show was telecast live to the East Coast and the Midwest for its first four years and broadcast on kinescope for the West Coast, as Keeshan would not perform the show live three times a day, and was in black-and-white until 1967. The May 17, 1971 episode saw two major changes on the show: The Treasure House was renovated and renamed “The Captain’s Place” and the Captain replaced his navy blue coat with a red coat. In September 1981, CBS shortened the hour-long show to a half-hour, briefly retitled it Wake Up with the Captain, and moved it to an earlier time slot; it was later moved to weekends in September 1982, and returned to an hour-long format. It was canceled by CBS at the end of 1984.
The downside of keeping up with the news is that it will tear your heart apart make you cry and make sleep elusive.
So that’s why I am cruising Facebook and sharing a few things here and there.
Love and blessings to all of my friends here.
“...and make sleep elusive.
” So that’s why I am cruising ...”
Why I’m here now. News is gut wrenching and almost in-credible.
And The Captain generously bequeathed his duds to Hillary Clinton. “Who wore it better?”
