Retired journeyman pugilist. Can't fight that good fight anymore. Y'all made your choice - elected a bigoted mendacious demagogue. Y'all live with it.
Veterans against Trump! United States President & Commander-In-Chief Donald Trump, who faked a disability to dodge the Vietnam War draft, claims that the USS Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln’s time asea wasn’t long enough and that loved ones’ families are lying about their sailors’ sufferings.
A couple of handsome bucks in my front yard munching on my tomato plants!
Sadly, when I travel to view the Vietnam Veterans Memorial for the third time next month, this time with my son, my thoughts of the gravity and poignancy of the experience will be interrupted by how the country elected a mendacious narcissistic buffoon who has no respect whatsoever for our war dead.
Pvt. Isabella Gonzales whose young 19 year old life was sacrificed to distract from evidence in the Epstein Files of Trump raping children. Back in the US this courageous patriot would have likely been stopped by ICE thugs. “It is the sacrifice of the best of us by the worst of us.” - W.B. Yeats

So, my most caustic, but incredibly witty, daughter, Miss Haley, created for me for Father Day.
And mine shall be: “He was an idler, added nothing to the world at large. Was known only for his nauseating braggadocio. Family requests no flowers - a life best left forgotten"
Hey, Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, and Marco Rubio - The Hague is calling y'all. Y'all are gonna have to eventually answer to them.

So, not only does Donald Trump rape little girls, but he murders them as well. Ain’t y’all proud to be Americans?!
Thank-you! And I've got a Sophie Scholl (who was guillotined by the Nazis) White Rose Anti-fascist (Antifa) tattoo on my right wrist and above, that I had inked years and years ago. I'd like to see the fascist Trump regime send their jackbooted thugs to come collect this veteran!!! Antifa and proud!
My granddaughter singing on stage while her daddy accompanies her with his guitar.
I recall processing at AFEES on Balboa Dr. in Chicago. My enlistment, on a stark gray dour day, forced me to put away my childish things, though I did hold on tightly to the CASE penknife that my dad had given me, which my grandpa had earlier gifted to him before my father shipped off with the Navy.
Displaying my letter to Letter to the Editor here on BlueSky as our local Dunwoody Crier newspaper refused to print my letter that identifies Charlie Kirk's bigoted remarks subsequent to the Crier publishing an article (more like a paean) that essentially canonizes Charlie Kirk and his "disciples".
Just voted for the Public Service Commission here in Dunwoody, Georgia for Democrats Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard as they aren't in the pocket of the utility corporations as the incumbent Republican candidates are.
We marched from the No Kings Atlanta Civic Center rally to the Georgia Capitol, but none of us anti-fascists trespassed or battered police or called for the Georgia Lt Governor to be hanged as what occurred at the Trump's Jan 6 insurrection So, mendacious MAGA Mike Johnson, who are the terrorists?!
Thanks a lot, you worm-brain riddled, unscientific, dangerous lunatic Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for making it so bureaucratically Kafkaesque difficult to get one of those new Covid-19 vaccinations, especially for us old folk! I was in line for at least four hours today to get one here in Georgia.
Amicalola Falls here in Georgia. My granddaughter just loves the water!

My dense overgrown backyard, that is consuming the haunted doghouse, that my son built decades ago for our three rescue dogs. Nowadays I only spot copperhead or two slithering in and out of it.
