Here’s a scan of the flier. It’s crazy how fast it came out. I am expecting an absolute deluge of anti-redistricting mail between now and the special election (not to mention calls, texts, and emails)

We’re the example of the way you don’t want things to be like in your country ☹️

There’s no literature or poetry in the White House. No music. No Kennedy Center award celebrations. There are no pets in this White House. No loyal man’s best friend. No Socks the family cat. No kids’ science fairs. No times when this president takes off his blue suit-red tie uniform and becomes human, except when he puts on his white shirt-khaki pants uniform and hides from Americans to play golf. There are no images of the first family enjoying themselves together in a moment of relaxation. No Obamas on the beach in Hawaii moments, or Bushes fishing in Kennebunkport, no Reagans on horseback, no Kennedys playing touch football on the Cape.

I was thinking the other day of the summer when George H couldn’t catch a fish and all the grandkids made signs and counted the fish-less days. And somehow, even if you didn’t even like GHB, you got caught up in the joy of a family that loved each other and had fun. Where did that country go? Where did all of the fun and joy and expressions of love and happiness go?

We used to be a country that did the ice bucket challenge and raised millions for charity. We used to have a president that calmed and soothed the nation instead dividing it. And a First Lady that planted a garden instead of ripping one out. We are rudderless and joyless. We have lost the cultural aspects of society that make America great. We have lost our mojo, our fun, our happiness. The cheering on of others. Gone. The shared experiences of humanity that makes it all worth it. Gone. The challenges AND the triumphs that we shared and celebrated. The unique can-do spirit Americans have always been known for. Gone. We have lost so much in so short a time.

“The top federal income tax rate [in the US] was 91% for much of the 1950s. However, this figure is a bit misleading regarding what the wealthy paid. The Tax Foundation explains that the 91% tax rate is only applied to incomes over $200,000, about $2 million in today's dollars.” (from Yahoo finance)

Sweden: “We tax our billionaires 55.5%”
Netherlands: “We tax ours 49.5%”
Germany: “We tax ours 47.475%”
United States (looking confused): “You tax your billionaires?”

It’s the battle of the birthday gifts over here. Loot llama appears to be winning.

Decorating eggs with the youngest child. Not for hunting; just for display and the thrill of the creative process 😊

Eggs in various stages of being decorated: some soaking in dye cups, some drying, some waiting for gold paint to be applied over the dye, and some sitting in shiny display rings

John 8:44: “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
