For those who might have interest, I have started booking my speaking engagements for 2026. The first two were confirmed yesterday. I have another coming for Putnam (CT) soon.

In addition, to 1863 baseball with the Woodstock Hilltoppers, schedule TBD.

From FIFTEEN to nineteen.
So... 15, 16, 17, and 18 year olds aren't getting pregnant as often.
Which means there are fewer KIDS having kids.
How can they even TRY to spin that as a negative?

Faux News has a PROBLEM with this? WTAF?

'Morning ☕
Do you realize Netanyahu needs Israel in a constant state of war to avoid prison for corruption? Trump faces the same issue over the Epstein files. These wars exist so two nearly 80‑year‑olds don’t spend the rest of their lives in prison.
What are we waiting?

The Trump regime needs to face trial for its war crimes -- those it has already committed.

If they go worse? More so.
Every last one of the people who ordered and acted on committing war crimes is a war criminal.

Just heard it stated that US troops are calling the Iran war "Operation Epstein Fury".

That feels on point. And underlies the troops not being too fond of this stupidity either.

I've now hit a scary trifecta. I agree with... Tucker Carlson on something? WTF?

Does Lebanon have a right to exist?
Syria?
Palestine?

Framing matters.

I have nothing but love for Mick.
I had the opportunity to have breakfast with him once in the green room of Dee Snider's radio show's holiday show back in 2000 or 2001. This IS who he is.

I'm horrified that I'm getting closer to a bingo.
In recent months, I've found myself in agreement with the malodorous MTG, and now the sociopathic Paul.

“Never heard him so angry.”

Trump is furious that global allies aren’t helping with Iran.

The Moron King can’t believe that insults, threats, and disrespect haven’t brought allies rushing to kiss his fat, malodorous ass.

Cheers to those standing firm.

No, he's not sundowning at all. Why would you suggest that?

According to Bill C-3 out of Canada, I am a dual citizen, with Canadian citizenship effective from my birth, but really since December 15 last year.

Documents ordered. This is a big. Damn. Thing.

Jayapal to Noem: "None of these four US citizens were charged with a crime, none had their citizenship questioned, and all were lawfully exercising their First Amendment rights. Do you have anything you want to say to them?"

On point. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is as useless as @schumer.senate.gov .

Resistance cannot and should not be "silent".
In the face of rising fascism, silence is complicity.

Bill Burr and Billy Corrigan are half-brothers via a philandering common father?
