@RepBaumgartner Mike, if you won't stand up today... you never will. If you don't show courage today... you never will. If you don't put your faith into practice today... you never will. My dissapointment in you and our country is almost complete. How can you be ok with the genocide of Iran?

Kinda crazy how the US economy is only growing because of investment in The God Brain but the US labor market is only growing because of changing old people diapers. America is truly a land of contrasts

Talking Again in 2025

I started eating again in 2024.  After 11 years not eating a crumb of food or even drinking a drop of water.  I got all fluids and nutrition from tubes inserted into my body.  For 11 years.  

In 2025 I have another big improvement to announce.  

I have started ‼️ TALKING ‼️ again after 12 years of not saying a word to anyone!  

What will 2026 bring❓

Talking has been truly AMAZING.  A slow process, it started when I slowly started feeling like I could talk again, but my stress response was still very high about it and it was hard to breach that stress wall and say the first words to someone.  I first talked to my best friend, who I am really close with, comfortable with and feel very safe with so my stress levels are lower with her.  I practiced talking to her on calls and video calls for about 6 months before talking to anyone else.  Then I moved on with a few more close friends.  It was hardest with my parents and caregiver because of the incredibly high stress I have been through with them in the past during my sickest years - my stress response seems to still be high with them - sensing danger likely due to a PTSD response mixed with the messed up fight or flight response in ME/CFS.  But I am now talking to everyone!  It is sooo much easier with my caregiver to just tell her what I need instead of pantomiming every little thing for sometimes a long time until she figures it out.  What a relief!  And I can have conversations with friends and loved ones!  

I just said goodbye to a lifelong friend who is dying and I got to talk to her on the phone and tell her how much she means to me, the impact she has had on my life, how wonderful she is; And then say goodbye.  It was profoundly sad, but it meant the world to me that I got to talk to her and say goodbye at all.  She is not online and does not text, so it would have been so devastating not to have that last connection with her…

I posted this over 9 years ago, a month before Trump won. Today I hear news anchors saying there's no evidence that Trump sexually assaulted minors. This is sworn testimony of an eyewitness and, I hate break it to the 5th estate, that's called evidence.

[Governor Newsom Press Office (parody) @AwesomeNewsom]

I AM RENAMING THE FOLLOWING: GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE WILL BE GOLDEN GAVIN BRIDGE, STATUE OF LIBERTY WILL BE STATUE OF LIBERALS, TRUMP'S COLOGNE WILL BE SENILE SPICE, HIS BALLROOM WILL BE AMERICA'S PORTA POTTY, NEW YEAR'S EVE WILL BE NEWSOM YEAR'S EVE, AND TRUMP WILL BE GAVIN'S B****.

General QAnon Mike Flynn and J5 pipe bomber Ivan Raiklin are planning another violent “raid” on a government facility.

They want Trump to use federal marshals to “extract” election fraud convict Tina Peters from Colorado prison, and file charges against CO AG Jena Griswold.

You raped a woman and she needed to get stitches. You deny the most widely documented genocide. No god will accept you

They won’t teach you this in school that the British Eliminated most of the Aboriginal population in Australia.

Trump admin's decisions to not grant asylum to Afghan CIA Zero Unit wet assets may not be a one-off now that he was foolish enough to announce that he's going to look at all the green cards. These aren't the kind of folks you want to announce to that you're about to betray.

Reasons why Gaddafi was killed:

1. Libya has no electricity bill, electricity came free of charge to all citizens.

2. There were no interest rates on loans, the banks were state-owned, the loan of citizens by law 0%.

3. Gaddafi promised not to buy a house for his parents until everyone in Libya owns a home.

4. All newlywed couples in Libya received 60,000 dinars from the government & because of that they bought their own apartments & started their families.

5. Education & medical treatment in Libya are free. Before Gaddafi there were only 25% readers, 83% during his reign

6. If Libyans wanted to live on a farm, they received free household appliances, seeds and livestock.

7. If they cannot receive treatment in Libya, the state would fund them $2300+ accommodation & travel for treatment abroad.

8. If you buy a car, the government finances 50% of the price.

9. The price of gasoline became $ 0.14 per liter.

10. Libya had no external debt, and reserves were $150 Billion (now frozen worldwide)

11. Since some Libyans can't find jobs after school, the government will pay the average salary when they can't find a job.

12. Part of oil sales in Libya are directly linked to the bank accounts of all citizens.

13. The mother who gave birth to the child will receive $5000

14. 40 loaves of bread cost $0.15.

15. 25% of Libyans had all Ilisna diplomas.

16. Gaddafi has implemented the world's biggest irrigation project known as the "BIG MAN PROJECT" to ensure water availability in the desert.
If this is called “DICTATORSHIP” I wonder what democracy is?

The National Guard troops would never have been shot if they hadn’t been deployed to Washington DC. The Afghan shooter would have never been in the US if the US had never invaded Afghanistan. Stop making war overseas. Stop sending troops to our cities. We will all be safer.
