Blanche says DOJ should move on from the Epstein files Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Department of Justice has released “all the files” related to Jeffrey Epstein. That’s not true.

Nope, not moving on.

You make a really good point, Grandmom. This seems more like fear mongering in the hopes of making Newsom's base think he isn't doing anything to protect them.

Exactly!

💯

They have no plans. They never think before acting.

Remember the days when news about our government didn't make you feel sarcastic? It's all this "winning" Trump promised us in the campaign for his first term that has fueled my sarcasm levels for more than a decade now.

I remember it well. There was always a line at the gas station, and there was always a chance they would run out before you got to the pump.

Now, if Mark would just do the same thing for insurance, we could see some real progress!

So, so great now. Well, it is for those who can buy lobster, crab and grand pianos on the public dime. Seems to be going the opposite direction for the rest of us.

Exactly! Insurance should never have been about making money. I don't utilities should be either. No one should have to worry about how to pay for medical care or utilities.

I don't think any spreadsheet programs have an infinite number of rows.

And they do say it is the "Christian" thing to do. Amazing what you can justify to some people by telling them it's God's work you are doing.

And that's just $11.3 billion so far. This war with Iran is far from over. Until Trump's base opens their eyes, his administration will keep sucking the coffers dry. And I don't think his base is ever going to wake up. 😡

Waking up to a thunderstorm is a true pleasure. And having time to just lay there and listen is the best part of the day.

Fishing tournament competitor accused of putting weights in largemouth bass A Texas man was arrested Sunday after state authorities said he altered the weight of a largemouth bass that he caught in a fishing tournament.

In Texas, cheating in a fishing tournament carries a penalty of up to a $10,000 fine and a decade in prison. Sad how we treat fishing crimes as more serious than raping and trafficking young girls in the United States. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES! www.kwtx.com/2026/03/09/f...

That's the inspiration I needed! I am baking a giant pop tart today, so conchas are on my Wednesday baking plans.

Agreed. Our real problem is that we've spent decades saying we need to fix our immigration system but doing nothing to actually fix it.

I sincerely hope you are right. I just hope the rest of the world will someday forgive us for what Trump and his enablers have done.

A gray tabby sits on red blanket in Sphinx paw, looking blithely at the photographer.

The Sphinx is ready to ask her riddle of all who wish to access our back patio.

I think it democracy ended in January 2025. It's just taking a while for it to become obvious.

With Bari Weiss running CBS News, I expect they will sanitize anything negative about Trump now.

To some extent, yes. But I hear too many people say that they just can't stand to watch the news or read political stuff. It is just upsets them, so they don't listen to it. Then they say how they are grateful Trump is keeping "the illegals" out, and that's when I wish they would quit voting.

Prince Charles looks like he is really belting out his song. It's good to be so committed to one's art (although maybe not for those who share his home?)

I agree that the rest of the world needs to cut us off. I suspect they will fare better without us than we will without them.

Sadly, you are right, Steve. No one can undo the death and destruction he had caused, and I cannot imagine the rest of the world will trust any US leader again for decades. Not should they.

In Houston we weren't supposed to fill up gas cans so we could mow our yards. Everyone tried to position their cars to block the view of the attendants and hope they could get enough pumped before they got caught.

He did say we would get tired of all the winning. And if this is winning, he was right.

The mainstream media seems to already be forgetting.

So far we are just at the Make America Grumble Again stage. When it becomes Growl, maybe the GOP will realize they have to take action to stop him? Probably not.

Exactly! When I made that point last year in a discussion, I had people tell me they thought it was important that they had extra light in the evening so they could go walking or mow the lawn after work. Guess kids' safety doesn't matter to some.
