The more that comes out about how involved t is/was in the epstein operation,

the more it implies that the women closest to him may also have been involved. His current...wife...seems to be implicated in doing what gm is currently in jail for. As awful as the thought is, one has to wonder if his children were also involved.

Anybody else getting weird text messages?

Lately I've been getting these text messages that start something like
"The house/senate has passed (or is getting ready to pass) this bill that does something for illegals/trans/blacks/others! Call your congress critters now!"
Usually from some number I don't recognize, no name just the number.
I report it as spam, and delete the number.
Anyone else getting these?

Thank you to marthe48 and ralps for carrying on the SCE tradition

of Sunday morning smiles. It is greatly appreciated.

Starting sign up for Medicare.

Is it better to create an account with login.gov or id.me?

What weird, twisted minds these AI guys have!

Happy New Year to all!

May this year be better than the last!

Huh. From all the OPs about the various emails coming out, it looks like the powers that be have

have decided that t is too much of a liability and are ditching him. Sending a message to all the world leaders, past and present, who might be in the epstein files? Wonder what they think to get out of it?
Can't decide if this or this is more appropriate.

Well, shoot. Looks like all the texas constitutional amendments passed.

I'm glad the good ones passed, but a couple amounted to tax breaks for the wealthy and I'm sorry to see those passed. And the parental rights one...oy!

Ooppss!! Edited to add link!

Just got a voter report from one of my coworkers.

She was a little late getting back from lunch, as she went and voted. She said the line was long. She was surprised, as this is an off year. So maybe more people are paying attention.
