Nurse/Wife/Mom/Nana trying to keep a positive attitude despite all of the craziness in this country

Brenda and I are asking for you to please consider reposting this as Robert is no longer able to promote this book while in the hospital. He is still under surgery and you can see an update from earlier. The book will be released Wednesday two days from now. A true remarkable story from the dedication page to the last word of the book where you will be pulled in and never let go. Thank you Russell and Brenda.

Today's excerpt:

Joan had nowhere to go. It was winter and there were warming centers where the homeless could spend a few hours but never were allowed to have the impression that they could stay there permanently. Kelly felt she was enabling her sister so she stopped supplying the funds for Joan’s cell phone. Slowly but surely Joan was being cut off from communication in relationship to the human race.

BREAKING: Rumors that Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell is brain dead have been confirmed as no one in their right mind would talk to Scott Jennings for 20 minutes.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of Americans signed their names to a piece of parchment and made a promise no nation had ever made before: that we're all created equal, endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

We're the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That's always been what makes us exceptional. We chose that path 250 years ago but that’s where the work began, not where it ended. Every generation has had to choose it again. At Valley Forge, at Gettysburg, on the beaches of Normandy, in the streets of Selma. Americans recommitted themselves to the principles on which our nation was founded.

Now it's our turn.

There's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year. That's not a burden. That's what it means to be an American.

250 years in, we still haven't fully lived up to those words in the Declaration. But we've never walked away from them, and this July 4, I hope all of us can commit to one thing: that we never will. I don't believe we're as divided as we're told we are. I've bet my whole life on the American people, and I'm not stopping now.

Happy 250th birthday, America. Our story isn't finished. Let's keep writing it together.

Mamdani: There is a term so often used to describe our nation and those who have shaped it: American exceptionalism. 

American exceptionalism, the conventional wisdom tells us, makes our freedom a little more free, is how we dug the Erie Canal and irrigated the West, is why children in far away lands grow up dreaming of one day moving here.

And yet the irony is that the story of America has so often been written by those who were told by others with power and influence and wealth that they were anything but exceptional.

For generation after generation, we have been told that when the world has sent its people to our shores, it has not sent its best. It sent Puritans and Sikhs and Quakers and Muslims and Jewish people who were banished for praying the wrong way, worshipping the wrong Gods, angering the wrong people. It sent peasants and serfs from who were treated as less because they hardly owned clothes, let alone land. It sent immigrants for whom power was something someone else had.

We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, more powerful than everyone else.

The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed, we may have walked on the moon, but the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence-that work endures, my friends, and it belongs to us all.

It belongs too to our newest Americans, those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I too felt what you feel— the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker, but an American too.

@RHughesPhD76721 So glad you ordered the medical alert button. I know a woman who had one and called it her guardian Angel. She was sure it prevented her from falling. Funny thing, though. She had multiple falls prior. After button, none

@RonFilipkowski Maybe someone should tell him that he has to be in the past tense first. Maybe he’ll comply

Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years.

Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸

This is too funny!

Dems have been looking for their message for years, and @AnnieAndrewsMD just did it (in under two minutes). Take note 📝

Keep talking about the Trump/Epstein files.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

No nation, no society, and no international order can call itself just and humane if it measures its success solely by power or prosperity while neglecting those who live at the margins. Indeed, Christ’s love for the least and the forgotten compels us to reject every form of selfishness that leaves the poor and the vulnerable invisible.

Do you think that Elon Musk interfered in the 2024 presidential election?

[Chicago History ™️ @Chicago_History]

Lane Technical High School in Chicago, located at Western Avenue and Addison Street. The massive building project cost approximately $6 million to complete. Opened in September 1934, it was dedicated as the largest high school in the world at that time. The footprint shown in this photo closely matches the school's layout today, though the surrounding area has developed.

I need some help from the Diaper Diplomacy family.

YouTube has demonetized my channel for "inauthentic content" content that "appears mass-produced or repetitive."

I've appealed twice. Received the exact same response from YouTube both times. Word for word. Some would even say a “mass-produced or repetitive." response.

I wish there was a way to mass produce my videos. But every single side-eye baby you've ever laughed at was a recording I did of myself on my iPhone. Every one.

I'm not asking for any special treatment. I'm asking for a human to watch my appeal video and make an actual decision based on what they see.

If this channel has ever made you laugh, please share this. Respectfully let @YouTube @YouTubeInsider @YouTubeCreators and @TeamYouTube know there is nothing inauthentic about my work.

And if you know a guy who has a cousin who works at YouTube, now would be the time.

On a positive note, as soon as I was demonetized, YouTube's algorithm magically started recommending my videos after months and months of uploading into the dark void! 🥳🎉
