WHAT WON’T FIT IN MY BIO:
Flawed Catholic Christian. Studied Psychology, Microbiology, Chemistry, Anatomy & Physiology, & Pharmacology; attended Nursing School. Eventually ended up in Radio where I wore many hats, including News Director at 2 stations. Served on SAG-AFTRA’s SF/Northern CA Local Board of Directors, and - while not a Veteran myself - its National Military Personnel & Families Support Committee; now retired. Wide range of interests, including Reading, History, Music, Science, Philosophy, Economics & Politics (I belong to no Party; on a graph, I’m slightly right, slightly libertarian). Proudly supporting @The_USO and #WoundedWarriorProject (@wwp).
Nothing personal, but I rarely answer my #DM 🚫msgs.
Too many try to pitch me goods or services — or themselves — that way. If you’re in my notifications or we communicate often, that’s different.
Oh, and I won’t knowingly follow minors back unless I know their parents.
🤷♂️

Lol. When I die, please list everything I have a burning hatred for in my obit. That's exactly how I want to be remembered.

I wear dark frames because a) I didn’t want “old man” glasses, and b) to hid the bags under my eyes:

My blood just ran cold.
I told NO ONE in the media about Graham’s violence until the New York Times came to my home in April.
I was never GOING to tell anyone.
But HE knew what he had done.
And now we know HE told people 7 months before I ever said a word.
Because he knows what he did.
Thank you, Nick, for helping me prove that Graham was worried I would tell the world what he’d done to me.

So here’s some insider baseball on Platner’s stuff.
I knew about the Fifield abuse allegations last October when I was in Maine. I didn’t know who it was or the extend of it. All I knew is that he got violent with an ex and she was a Republican,
I hinted at them here several times, saying that Mills campaign was trying to get her on the record but she, a couple of other women, didn’t want to talk. Mills campaign knew Fifield was a Republican and that she and others were holding on to their story until it was advantageous for the GOP (1)

Our issue is not taxation.

Elon Musk is not stealing from you.
Gavin Newsom is stealing from you.
Karen Bass is stealing from you.
Tim Walz is stealing from you.
Elizabeth Warren is stealing from you.
AOC is stealing from you.
Becoming wealthy does not make you evil.
The people who take from you, promising to fix problems and then enriching themselves while trying to get you to hate those they're taking the money from... are evil.

If Elon Musk just gave away his trillion, he could end hunger and poverty in Africa, just like Band Aid and Live Aid did.

9 years ago today, a deranged socialist fired 70 rounds in 10 minutes at the republican baseball team, hitting the third highest ranking House member and the Feds reviewed it and said “yup, this was textbook suicide by cop”.
