I really did think this was going to be a short one, because I was writing about two different minute-long video clips. how much could there be to say about a couple minutes of video? ha ha ha
Jeff, long or short, PLEASE KEEP GOING!!! As much as I appreciate your outstanding sense of humor (I laugh out loud each morning as I read your column), I deeply resonate with the anger underlying your posts. I am grateful that you are giving voice to what so many of us are feeling and experiencing every day.
Thank you a million times Dan! And Neil and the band! Four Dead in Ohio! Up Against the Wall! Street Fighting Man! For What It's Worth! and Subterranean Homesick Blues, then the old standards from Joanie and Pete Seeger and any civil rights march.
Awesome. Thank you for sharing Dan. And thank you Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts for using your Art to speak the truth. Anthems to keep us all in the fight.
Oh, you are me, Dan. Thank you AND Jeff. You're saying what I so want and need to. I still read Jeff's posts to hubby each day - he listens, but I'm unsure he gets all the nuances. Still I(we) persist! Btw, I also read him some (he didn't have the patience for all of) Noel Casler's 'Working Class Hero' post. It's SO FUCKING good, I hope everyone takes a look (on substack). HE was in the trenches on that stupid apprentice show.
Actually, I think it was Mark Twain, but he might well have plagiarized from Dickens. He also said, I think, if you’re going to steal, steal from the best. QED.
As Mark Twain once said, “Please excuse the length of this missive, as I lack the time to make it short.” Nonetheless, excellent post, Jeff. Happy Labor Day!

I was there. I sat in an unheated house for three days with my breath forming Clouds in front of me. The temp got as low as 15 degrees. What could the National Guard have done? The only heat in my house came from my natural gas stove. We REALLY worry about electricity in Texas.
This is part of the price the Lone Star wingnuts imposed with their insistence of not integrating Texas into the national grid. Doan want no Yankey 'lectricity here in Texass.
Of course. It was a catastrophe, as I said. But the TX government had no qualms letting others help pay for it—they are so against socialism in even the smallest form and coming together for the common good. But plenty of non-Texans have helped pay for the government’s decisions and I’m sure they are totally fine with that.
Has it been fixed, or are Texans still in jeopardy of more tragic events…
What's going on with the AI farms proposed in places like Texas? Now THAT is a major suck of electricity 24/7/365. And don't be fooled by "creating jobs." Most of it will be automated and one day the machines will be controlled by AI, not humans.
And the wind farms in the northeast on which BILLIONS have already been spent and douchebag and co just cancelled its funding only months before completion. And I just had a hotdog solar company check my house for eligibility to tap into a government supported fix up which after checking told me the roof is too flat to support solar panels. And I wiuld need a THREE ACRE plot to install panels on the ground. Wha’??? Seems like they keep getting us coming and going. It ain’t only Texas. I’m in Rhode Island.
The Texas Legislature has passed a law that says that any AI can be shut off without notice if the grid is overburdened. But AI is the biggest threat to our supply of electricity, no doubt
As I've said before, we need an acronym. I propose WIODI.
What if Obama did it.
Heads should asplode from the cognitive dissonance. I guess that's what the magic red hats are for. To hold together what little gray matter is left between their ears.
maybe I took too long to click on the link? All 'I' got was today's news about Xi hosting vlad and Kim Jung Un showing their 'big boyz' triumvirate force against the rest of the world - plus all the other fuckery of today, including more bobby brainworms nuttery. Going back to sleep now so my migraine 'preventatives' can work. Perhaps they'll fix the bad news as well by the time I wake up around Noon? I doubt it...the usual fuckery will still be there - and you wonder WHY my migraines have increased in intensity since Jan. 20th?Sigh.
I read that the National Guard troops are only being deployed for 29 days before being swapped out so they don’t get their benefits (it must be 30 days). There’s your “happy” Labor Day. Free labor.
Just to go over the facts regarding the LA protests against ICE which took place in a 4 square block area - this is from Wikipedia (dummies from Red States can’t comprehend the following information):
Los Angeles County, sprawling across roughly 4,751 sq mi with a land area around 4,058 sq mi, is the largest U.S. county by population—home to nearly 9.76 million people as of mid‑2024—divided among 88 incorporated cities and over 100 unincorporated communities, the latter accounting for more than 65% of its land area and housing over 1 million residents
Yep. I used to live there and worked in the downtown area. This was just a tiny fraction of the greater LA area. I still have friends and family there. If the whole city was burning I’d have known about it.
Even when our ‘whole city’ was burning during a climate change inferno it was actually only a few neighborhoods. I truly believe this is hard for people to conceptualize if they’ve never been here - the sprawl is enormous.
💯. It was still horrifying to watch the Palisades going up in flames. I’d driven that area many a time. Same with Altadena. I know several people that lost their homes. Thankfully, none lost their lives.
As a kid living in Malibu we were in the Palisades every few days. My heart is broken over the decimation of that town, Alta Dena and parts of Malibu. Those winds whipping up the fires were something I’ve never experienced and I’ve lived here my whole life.
I know people who live in LA and they never saw any riots or protest. Or National Guards for that matter. I think they are still there. Hope they get a chance to enjoy the beach when they're off duty.
We didn’t see any protests even in our own cities in LA - I live in Westwood and the National Guard occupation in the downtown was a 20 minute drive on the freeway from my house.
You know when there were riots and protests and things burning down? In 1992, after the Rodney King verdict. I happened to be at what was The Forum at a basketball game, right at the heart of the protest/riot as it broke out. The police escorted everyone to the 405, even if that's not where you wanted to go.
The city was basically locked down, even the SFV. Curfews. Police everywhere. Scary times.
Did you zoom into the photo of the Nat’l Guards asleep on the floor. Our. California Nat’l Guards are comprised of mostly brown citizens serving their state and country... and now we discover the demon administration isn’t covering their benefits? They had to leave their homes and jobs to serve!
You can always rehome a pet or working animal, that is a fact. Killing or just caging rather than find a suitable alternative is apparently Krusty’s game plan for humans too.
Newsom's trolling of Taco Don is helping him to circle the drain faster. It's really getting on MAGA's nerves because they have no sense of humor. Humiliation only works in one direction with them. One thing we all know is when Donnie is quiet he's not well.
Oops, party’s 🍾🥳 not over! Been wanting to say this, so thanks for the opening, Susan. TIME TO TURN THE TRUTH SPOTLIGHT ON JD, MILLER, AND PROJECT 25 GHOULS. No rest for the weary. Go to it, Jeff!
Hey, Jeff - a change of subject, but I've been meaning to ask: at the bottom of all your posts, there's always a number - today it's 826 / 915. What does that mean?? Just curious! Have a good holiday!
Jeff yesterday was unreal, all the new names numbers way up congrats I made contact with many and they liked it here. I took note of the ‘™’ markers another great idea some are taking you stuff now and without credits I assume. Anyway this is another good day and you are desirable and you are beating the trend I’m excited about it. Nice ‘abbreviated article’ when you’re rolling keep on rocking!
"Trump put the national guard on 29 day orders! Why does this matter: They don’t pay full housing allowance and no health insurance until 30 days. What an abusive commander in chief. So Trump." (Adam Kinzinger)
How many times doe a liar have to tell a lie before they believe it themself? I don't know but Kristi Noem seems to have drunk the lie Kool aid. Sheesh. None of us believe a word she says.
I am in Chicago right now and will be here through the planned occupation of enemy forces, Trump being the enemy to my fair city. They are supposed to be here from September 2 until September 30. Well, that just sucks. I wish that Illinois had a militia to combat them. No one wants them here. I am in some out of the way community on the South Side of the city, and don't expect to see them, but will be carrying my passport on me wherever I go.
I am wondering whether the agents will be holed up in Trump tower in the center of the city at the taxpayers expense, because those offices on the Naval Base are like an hours drive and we are in one of Chicago's two seasons. It is called "Road Construction" the other one being winter.
As I was thinking a few months ago how to describe the plastic surgery package Trump women buy, I realized they all want to look (or Trump wants them all to look) like Bratz dolls -- the sluttier answer to Barbie.
What are fillers? asks the now 80-year-old woman who decided to be part of an experiment in (mostly) natural aging. Mostly natural because I do have hearing aids and a couple of crowns.
OMG! Two seasons? That is hysterical. I think my neighborhood has two seasons - road construction and hotter than the hinges of Hell. In fairness, we are being teased with a bit of slightly cooler weather.
Our other season is winter, and some years there is still season one going on. People in Chicago honestly do talk like this. On my way to the airport in June it took an extra 2 hours because we did not know that they were doing work when we set out, and for many, many miles there was one lane. it was incredible. I am glad I had checked in online, because I was at the airport and 90 minutes before my flight instead of the 3 hours I was supposed to be.
Unfortunately, the bad guys in Chicago just shot up like 50 people over this weekend. The murder rate is now as much as it was for all of last year. Of course, this couldn't come at a worse time, because Der Fuckface will try to send troops into Chicago. I really hope the governor blockades the roads into town, and refuses to let them in. Say, "Fuck You!!" to Fascism.
I'm not much for conspiracy theories but I can't escape the suspicion that this sudden dramatic uptick in gun violence has been aided and abetted by dark forces in this evil regime.
Seemed a bit "coincidental". I thought that as well mary. But Chicago has guns and they ain't afraid to use them. So there's that when the pansies show up and cosplay cops.
In Washington, DC, the troops weren't in the areas where gang crime occurs, they were hanging out in Georgetown and the National Mall. Will troops in Chicago actually engage with gang members, or only with citizens who are going about their lives while Black?
She claimed that the deployment of national guard and other agencies saved LA . President made those same claims and the guard had not even actually arrived in LA yet ; guess they saved it remotely . But Newsom won anyway .
“As Democrats increasingly focused on Project 2025, Mr. “Trump — who had previously praised Project 2025 — publicly disowned it in July of last year, Trump saying he had nothing to do with it and had ‘no idea who is behind it.’”
It was ANOTHER FUCKING LIE from our country’s presidential accident and mistake.”
Well he's certainly going along with every piece of it, and willingly. He's just the autopen behind thiel, vance, miller and the rest of the goonies who are doing all the implementing.
He's the only asshole in the world that gets a pass by saying he is ignorant. I know it was a lie, but the entire premise is ludicrous, that's it would be ok for him not to be aware of what the Heritage Foundation has been building for decades. That ignorant psychopath doesn't know anything about leadership. It is unacceptable that citizens are being attacked on an official website.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again--ICE will NEVER go after the gang members, the gangsters, the drug dealers! Why? Because those dudes have guns, know how to use them, and aren't afraid to use them. The landscapers, firefighters, crop harvesters, dish washers, care givers, etc., are waaaaay to easy to pick out, round up, and get rid of. Oh, and the latter also pay taxes, pay into social security, medicaid, etc., and can't collect any of it.
The latest on the planes with children being stopped, at least temporarily, is making my heart hurt. Bless the beasts and the children for they are the innocent, and they seem to be the target of little miss hair extensions. Now tell me again about murderers and rapists you fking evil c u next Tuesday. Her day is coming and I can’t wait for justice to prevail.
If little Miss Hair extensions can take a puppy to a gravel pit and shoot it dead in the head what makes you think she cares about children. Especially brown children. Yes, her day is coming along with the rest of the fascists. My ire is with worm brain RFK Jr. trying to get rid of vaccines. I curse Senator Cassidy for voting this guy in his position. Wednesday is going to be an ugly day in DC.
She was so awful and racist as Governor of South Dakota that none of the tribes in her state would allow her onto their reservations. Trump probably saw that as a recommendation so great it offset the puppy killing.
Same mentality exists in many areas of Texas. Bullets are cheaper than a vet visit or humane euthanization. For that matter, so is dumping a sick pet in a rural area (cheaper), when an owner can't bring themselves to kill a family pet. Sheriff's departments also shoot "menacing" and "viscous" strays, rather than attempt to capture them. Ranchers are different, as their goal is generally to put livestock out of their misery as quickly and humanely as possible... but Noem doesn't fit that criteria. She failed on every count with all of her animals.
When I lived in Missouri people dumped dogs up the road from me frequently. It was right by the river so they at least had water. My husband and I took many of them to shelters. But one of them, Maggie, came to live with us. She was about a year old and, unbeknownst to us, pregnant. When we took her to be spayed the vet called and told us he had to abort the puppies. One of my saddest animal stories. However, Maggie lived with us for thirteen years. She was the best dog! I have her ashes along with five other pets' cremains on a table with photographs and candles. Yes, I'm a little old widow who loves creatures. I can't even kill a spider. So I guess you know how I feel about Ms Noem. Sorry for the rant.
You're my kind of people, Jan! 🤗 I've had many Maggies, due to the same circumstances. At one time, we had 7 rescues in the house, because we couldn't find adopters for them, but they were all family until they died. 30+ more found forever families over the course of 15 years or so. All were vetted, spayed or neutered, and chipped before we let them go (our vet gave us discounts). We even drove a few of them out of state to new homes. Yes, expensive as hell, but worth every dime to see them healthy, happy, and loved! (I can't do rescuing anymore - too expensive and heartbreaking - but one day soon I hope to foster some senior dogs.)
RFK Jr really is fucked up, and now so are Americans seeking sound medical advice.
Just looking at the guy, the glazed eyes, it all spells "Nutcase". And should a guy who chopped off the head of a whale and put it on the family van be working, like anywhere?
I really did think this was going to be a short one, because I was writing about two different minute-long video clips. how much could there be to say about a couple minutes of video? ha ha ha
You could write a book for a morning post and we’d all read it! lol
Jeff, long or short, PLEASE KEEP GOING!!! As much as I appreciate your outstanding sense of humor (I laugh out loud each morning as I read your column), I deeply resonate with the anger underlying your posts.

Dickens supposedly ended a letter with “this would have been shorter if I had more time.”
Actually, I think it was Mark Twain, but he might well have plagiarized from Dickens. He also said, I think, if you’re going to steal, steal from the best. QED.
Attributed to Blaise Pascal.
Go have the rest of a pleasant Labor Day!
And please rally! Bring a sign and a lawn chair, and plan to smile a lot. Visit with your protest neighbors. Help Dump Trump.
We lined the street in Bellos Falls, VT at the 50501 Lanor Day rally!
Thanks Nancy!
We are rallying in Seattle today.
Thanks Carol! We just finished our 3rd rally in 3 days! WooHoo!
Hard to be brief when there are so many turds to tumble.
You don't suck at short. These goons just don't take a holiday.
As Mark Twain once said, “Please excuse the length of this missive, as I lack the time to make it short.” Nonetheless, excellent post, Jeff. Happy Labor Day!
Short or Long, Keep on Keepin' On, Mr Jeff.
Whenever I see the bloody typewriter I think of you trying to keep it short...
In your dreams, Tiedrich. In your dreams 😂😂😂.

This is part of the price the Lone Star wingnuts imposed with their insistence of not integrating Texas into the national grid. Doan want no Yankey 'lectricity here in Texass.
Of course some of us northerners had surcharges added to our bills because of that catastrophe. I’m sure the TX leaders thought that was funny.
But the ones being frozen out perhaps had a different view…
Of course. It was a catastrophe, as I said. But the TX government had no qualms letting others help pay for it—they are so against socialism in even the smallest form and coming together for the common good. But plenty of non-Texans have helped pay for the government’s decisions and I’m sure they are totally fine with that.

Same.
What's going on with the AI farms proposed in places like Texas? Now THAT is a major suck of electricity 24/7/365. And don't be fooled by "creating jobs." Most of it will be automated and one day the machines will be controlled by AI, not humans.
And the wind farms in the northeast on which BILLIONS have already been spent and douchebag and co just cancelled its funding only months before completion.

Doesn't matter the topic. It's this simple:

As I've said before, we need an acronym. I propose WIODI.

It is endless. I remember when you would drive out of one area into another, no more. It's all one huge area from Ventura to the Mexican border.
I know people who live in LA and they never saw any riots or protest. Or National Guards for that matter. I think they are still there. Hope they get a chance to enjoy the beach when they're off duty.

This was not that. Not even close.
and isn't that a nasty little piece of clownfuckery--at Trump's instigation, no doubt--to play on those poor National Guard people?!!
Sure sounds like Trump.
The most anti-union preznit since Ronnie raygun…
Did you zoom into the photo of the Nat’l Guards asleep on the floor. Our. California Nat’l Guards are comprised of mostly brown citizens serving their state and country... and now we discover the demon administration isn’t covering their benefits? They had to leave their homes and jobs to serve!
Typical Trump behavior. He fucks over everything and everyone.
Yeah. Respect our troops. Or anybody who actually works. He never pays full price.
JFC. This shouldn’t be legal, but of course these asswipes will do anything to make/save a fucking dollar! 🤬😡🤬😡🤬
And put it in their own pockets
This is the whole point.
Kay, I hope that’s true, nice to get the short version today! Did you notice the trademarks somebody must be stealing great lines from Jeff.
Noem wants to “focus on those that rape?????” REALLY? How about focusing on the president of the US?!! She makes me sick.
If she wants to focus on rape, how about releasing the Epstein files so we can see how many times the Rapist-in-Chief is mentioned.
Repeating what I've said before: shooting a puppy puts this bitch beyond redemption forever. Period. Full stop.
You can always rehome a pet or working animal, that is a fact. Killing or just caging rather than find a suitable alternative is apparently Krusty’s game plan for humans too.

Well said. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Stale hair products and outdated makeup.
I can’t even imagine…😔
I can't, either. But then, most of us don't have that psychopathically warped mindset.
Makes me cry just to think of it.
Newsom's reaction to "Little Miss Hair Extensions". 😂😂😂 That team doesnt miss a beat.
Next week, maybe we'll have some great news...like a champagne party when the felon heads to hell? Or updates on Rudy Coludy's car wreck?
JFC! America right now is like watching Must See TV. Hope you all have a peaceful day! ✌️
Newsom's social media team is a national treasure
They sure are. Quick, accurate, and funny. 👏👏👏
Newsom's trolling of Taco Don is helping him to circle the drain faster. It's really getting on MAGA's nerves because they have no sense of humor. Humiliation only works in one direction with them. One thing we all know is when Donnie is quiet he's not well.
Hey Susan, I'm very much looking forward to the Champagne Party...really excited! How do we start it up when it's time?
Great question-we need to do this on this community. I’ll research!
We can all Zoom a toast together!
It would be so funny to see how everyone looks. We would have to get out of our pajamas for the event.
Maybe a live chat?
That would be so cool! Thanks Susan!
Please include me on your list. I'll whip up some appetizers.
Oops, party’s 🍾🥳 not over! Been wanting to say this, so thanks for the opening, Susan. TIME TO TURN THE TRUTH SPOTLIGHT ON JD, MILLER, AND PROJECT 25 GHOULS. No rest for the weary. Go to it, Jeff!

Kristi Noem looks like a blow-up sex doll. Thinks like one, too.
As I was thinking a few months ago how to describe the plastic surgery package Trump women buy, I realized they all want to look (or Trump wants them all to look) like Bratz dolls -- the sluttier answer to Barbie.
I was getting a facial last week and got an earful on how pockmarked and awful Noem's and Gabbard's skin was. I was told -- NEVER USE FILLERS!

They are lucky Max Factor invented pancake make-up
What are fillers? asks the now 80-year-old woman who decided to be part of an experiment in (mostly) natural aging. Mostly natural because I do have hearing aids and a couple of crowns.
Probably how she got the job!
I think that's the point, isn't it?

I am glad I had checked in online, because I was at the airport and 90 minutes before my flight instead of the 3 hours I was supposed to be.
High speed rail and other forms of mass transit like they have in civilized countries would make the necessity for all that road repair obsolete.
But, that would make sense.
Unfortunately, the bad guys in Chicago just shot up like 50 people over this weekend. The murder rate is now as much as it was for all of last year. Of course, this couldn't come at a worse time, because Der Fuckface will try to send troops into Chicago. I really hope the governor blockades the roads into town, and refuses to let them in. Say, "Fuck You!!" to Fascism.
I'm not much for conspiracy theories but I can't escape the suspicion that this sudden dramatic uptick in gun violence has been aided and abetted by dark forces in this evil regime.
Whoa. That's one helluva scary thought. And you just might be right...
It really is like people flying off balconies.
"defenestration"
Seemed a bit "coincidental". I thought that as well mary. But Chicago has guns and they ain't afraid to use them. So there's that when the pansies show up and cosplay cops.
The right wing nuts decry Chicago's gun violence while ignoring the unimpeded prevalence of guns in society. A perfect twofer for the wing nuts.
They are INSANE!!! That, or the Ultimate Sadists. Come to think of it, I'll go with the latter.
That and they are bought and paid for by the gun lobby/NRA
So I need to add GREED -- perhaps first, second, and third. You're on target.
I would not doubt that for a moment. I think a lot of the fires in L.A. are set by Maga faithful. I really believe that.
I think we can count on that.
Perhaps partly a false flag operation to justify sending in the troops ?
In Washington, DC, the troops weren't in the areas where gang crime occurs, they were hanging out in Georgetown and the National Mall. Will troops in Chicago actually engage with gang members, or only with citizens who are going about their lives while Black?
The latter. Definitely.
Picking up trash around the Mall.
Standing on a street corner after midnight. Self curfew!
😨
Thank you for writing on a holiday and every day! We eagerly await your column, no matter how long it is.
Thanks, Jeff. My day doesn’t officially begin until you’ve been read. Peace.
now I have performance anxiety
🤣🤣
You’re a funny guy!😂😂😂😂😂😂
They have pills for that. . .
Or just more good coffee!

She claimed that the deployment of national guard and other agencies saved LA . President made those same claims and the guard had not even actually arrived in LA yet ; guess they saved it remotely . But Newsom won anyway .
So helpful in LA to go after the "worst of the worst," like the guy who has been pushing an ice cream cart in Culver City for 20 years.
Remember when Dumpy said he could declassify documents by thinking about them? Maybe that's how he "saved" LA.
Posted on the Contact Us page at Whitehouse.gov;
“As Democrats increasingly focused on Project 2025, Mr. “Trump — who had previously praised Project 2025 — publicly disowned it in July of last year, Trump saying he had nothing to do with it and had ‘no idea who is behind it.’”
It was ANOTHER FUCKING LIE from our country’s presidential accident and mistake.”
Well he's certainly going along with every piece of it, and willingly. He's just the autopen behind thiel, vance, miller and the rest of the goonies who are doing all the implementing.
He's the only asshole in the world that gets a pass by saying he is ignorant. I know it was a lie, but the entire premise is ludicrous, that's it would be ok for him not to be aware of what the Heritage Foundation has been building for decades. That ignorant psychopath doesn't know anything about leadership. It is unacceptable that citizens are being attacked on an official website.
Every day, when I receive your letter, I say out loud, to myself, "Yay, my Jeff Tiedrich letter is here!" I dont know what I would do without you.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again--ICE will NEVER go after the gang members, the gangsters, the drug dealers! Why? Because those dudes have guns, know how to use them, and aren't afraid to use them. The landscapers, firefighters, crop harvesters, dish washers, care givers, etc., are waaaaay to easy to pick out, round up, and get rid of. Oh, and the latter also pay taxes, pay into social security, medicaid, etc., and can't collect any of it.
Great fucking point!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Denise, I see that and raise another thou.
The latest on the planes with children being stopped, at least temporarily, is making my heart hurt. Bless the beasts and the children for they are the innocent, and they seem to be the target of little miss hair extensions. Now tell me again about murderers and rapists you fking evil c u next Tuesday. Her day is coming and I can’t wait for justice to prevail.
If little Miss Hair extensions can take a puppy to a gravel pit and shoot it dead in the head what makes you think she cares about children. Especially brown children. Yes, her day is coming along with the rest of the fascists. My ire is with worm brain RFK Jr. trying to get rid of vaccines. I curse Senator Cassidy for voting this guy in his position. Wednesday is going to be an ugly day in DC.
She was so awful and racist as Governor of South Dakota that none of the tribes in her state would allow her onto their reservations. Trump probably saw that as a recommendation so great it offset the puppy killing.
Nah, it was a bonus ON TOP OF the puppy killing.
Dumpy hates dogs. He probably thought killing a puppy was another check in the Pro column.
Same mentality exists in many areas of Texas. Bullets are cheaper than a vet visit or humane euthanization. For that matter, so is dumping a sick pet in a rural area (cheaper), when an owner can't bring themselves to kill a family pet. Sheriff's departments also shoot "menacing" and "viscous" strays, rather than attempt to capture them. Ranchers are different, as their goal is generally to put livestock out of their misery as quickly and humanely as possible... but Noem doesn't fit that criteria. She failed on every count with all of her animals.
When I lived in Missouri people dumped dogs up the road from me frequently. It was right by the river so they at least had water. My husband and I took many of them to shelters. But one of them, Maggie, came to live with us. She was about a year old and, unbeknownst to us, pregnant. When we took her to be spayed the vet called and told us he had to abort the puppies. One of my saddest animal stories. However, Maggie lived with us for thirteen years. She was the best dog! I have her ashes along with five other pets' cremains on a table with photographs and candles. Yes, I'm a little old widow who loves creatures. I can't even kill a spider. So I guess you know how I feel about Ms Noem. Sorry for the rant.
You're my kind of people, Jan! 🤗 I've had many Maggies, due to the same circumstances. At one time, we had 7 rescues in the house, because we couldn't find adopters for them, but they were all family until they died. 30+ more found forever families over the course of 15 years or so. All were vetted, spayed or neutered, and chipped before we let them go (our vet gave us discounts). We even drove a few of them out of state to new homes. Yes, expensive as hell, but worth every dime to see them healthy, happy, and loved! (I can't do rescuing anymore - too expensive and heartbreaking - but one day soon I hope to foster some senior dogs.)
You gave your Maggie a sweet life. That’s what decent people do. Ms Noem’s words and actions suggest she is not.
You sound like a wonderful person.
Thank you. I don't know about wonderful but I try to be a decent person. Like all of you who depend on daily Jeff to keep our sanity contained.
RFK is insane and filled with hatred. That's all. If you don't want vaccinations, don't get them. Simple, right?
RFK Jr really is fucked up, and now so are Americans seeking sound medical advice.
Just looking at the guy, the glazed eyes, it all spells "Nutcase". And should a guy who chopped off the head of a whale and put it on the family van be working, like anywhere?
^^THIS^^ a thousand times, Tama.
