A note from writer Mindy Fischer.

“So I was just reading that Georgia just purged hundreds of thousands of voters off the voter rolls. I have voted in every election here in Atlanta since I moved here 11 years ago. There's no reason I should be removed but I thought I'd double check just in case. And goddammit I'm no longer registered. So I had to reregister and now wait for them to update the rolls.
Check your voter registration in whatever state you live in. It's important!“ - Mindy Fischer

Of course, so many won’t bother to read it. I haven’t read all of it but what I have read is kinda scary should it ever be implemented. Let’s put it this way: I didn’t swear an oath to the U.S. Constitution (which needs some changes to be updated) and nearly get my head blown off in Iraq (bullshit war) just to see some dim bulb asshats and knuckle heads come along and shove us backwards decades if not a couple hundred years. Screw that shit!

Gotta love this.

“I’m proud that Minnesota’s First Dog is a rescue dog, and I hope Scout—who has been a very good boy—serves as reminder for Minnesotans that there are a lot of pups waiting to be adopted.” - Tim Walz

Only slightly. 😉

This is what my son Ryan wanted to be and would have been had he not been KIA in Iraq. He was inspired by my dad, who’s a National Park junkie. I hope this trend reverses.

Well, now. Another Sunday.

I REALLY can’t stand MAGA motherfuckers.

Yes, I know it’s a fucking screen shot from Goddamn X but I’m more focused on how this motherfucker made the heads of so many tRumpanzees fucking explode! BHAHAHAHAHAHA

A perfect addition to my desk at work. 😉 I love it when I interview people in there for stories I write for the newspaper I work for and they wonder at what is my office/John Deere toy museum/Chicago Bears memorabilia/man cave.

Nikki Haley gets told again to stick it. This is epic.

Haley Voters for Harris PAC has told Haley to have several seats.

“We have formally responded to @NikkiHaley's cease and desist letter.

We have deep respect for Ambassador Haley's patriotism and sacrifices.

We also believe that @KamalaHarris will be better for the country than Trump.”

Fucking vote is absolutely correct.

I regret to inform those who know Jagger he is no longer with us. The decision was made today to put him to sleep because of a cancer diagnosis that gave him, at the most, maybe a couple weeks. It wasn’t an easy decision at all and my heart is breaking. Needless to say, the date 23 July, the last time in 2006 I heard my oldest son say “I love you dad” about a week before he was KIA in Iraq, now means that much more to me.

They get me through. Along with plenty of music.

Why is that?
