“Sure is a lovely day to live in Minnesota, I sure hope a tree doesn’t explode!”
A Norwegian pine approximately 10 feet away with a trunk full of frozen water:
Amy Klobuchar: “What’s the difference between Greenland and Donald Trump? Greenland isn’t for sale.”
She added, “And to any Trump ally who wants to throw eggs at me over that joke—you can’t. Eggs are too expensive.”
As a Christian, this didn’t bother or offend me one bit. But what really offended me was Trump being sworn in on a Bible. That was complete blasphemy

🎙️ @ivehaditpodcast and @mattxiv: "Why does Israel get free healthcare and Americans are facing medical bankruptcy? Why do Israelis get free education and Americans don't and we send them billions upon billions of dollars? Why are your tax dollars subsidizing this?"

So I went to this old fashioned place called the grocery store today.
I noticed that the prices of many items in there SEEMED higher than I'd paid before, but I wasn't worried.
I went to the cashier and loaded up my groceries on the conveyor belt. When the cashier finished, the amount was twice as much as I felt it should be.
So I said, "That's not right. Your prices are wrong."
She said "No sir, I scanned all of these, I didn't enter any prices by hand."
I replied, "See, this is a simple misunderstanding. Those prices have to be wrong because the President said that unaffordability was a lie, a con job by Democrats. So all you have to do is just match the prices to MY reality."
And then everyone stood up and cheered, as a big burly man ran up to me and said "thank you sir!"
Naturally, I'm not welcome at that grocery store, Bigly Cheap Foods, any more. Oh well, it's fine. I never liked how they made me show ID there.
Sure would be embarrassing if there was a video of Trump joking about Paul Pelosi being nearly beaten to death as a room full of his supporters howl with laughter 😬
Today, news broke that Charlie Kirk was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University.
Let me be blunt: I will not pretend to feel sorry for Charlie Kirk. For years, he has profited off division, peddled conspiracy theories, and targeted marginalized groups with rhetoric so toxic it has made this country less safe. He has called for public executions, mocked trans people as “abominations,” treated politics like a holy war — and in 2023, he even said that gun deaths were an “unfortunate” but acceptable price to keep the Second Amendment.
Today, he became part of the very toll he once dismissed. That doesn’t make him a martyr — it makes him a cautionary tale about what happens when leaders treat human lives as expendable.
That doesn’t mean I condone what happened. Political violence is wrong — always. It poisons our democracy, no matter who the target is. If we go down that path, America as we know it collapses.
But here’s the truth: when you spend years throwing gasoline on the fire, you don’t get to act shocked when flames break out. Charlie Kirk built a career out of incitement. He’s not a victim of political violence so much as he is one of its architects.
This is a reminder that words have consequences. Leaders — real leaders — should be lowering the temperature, not raising it. They should be uniting people around solutions, not cashing in on fear and hate.
I ran for Congress because I’m sick of this cycle — sick of watching extremists on the right and performative purists on the left treat America like their personal stage show while working-class families get crushed. Enough.
Violence is not the answer. But neither is pretending that Charlie Kirk is some innocent casualty. He chose this path. He pushed this rhetoric. And now we’re all living in the world it created.
