Nice to see we have something in common besides the other, more commonplace commonalities. Best to you from the Ohio, good brother!

Such an endlessly fascinating character -- captured well in this new biography. Gottlieb does a nice job of moving things right along while still revealing plenty of interesting details. And at under 200 pp., it's not an imposing time commitment.

No Kings demonstration in Delaware, Ohio.

That's so reassuring... 🤔😟😱

Not that anybody asked, but…

The first 13 months of Biden’s term, the stock market rose 12%, setting a record high closing of 11 times.

The first 13 months of Trump’s second term, the market rose 10%, setting a record high closing of 10 times.

If this isn’t dystopian, I don’t know what is… I can’t breathe.

The guy got less than 50% and calls it a landslide. I guess that's what constitutes a "route." The route to corruption.

Yes. It just didn't seem right back then. Now, an utter disaster.

Congratulations from Ohio! Loved the documentary, by the way.

Snow day in central Ohio. Fortunately, not long after I took this photo, my kind neighbor cleared our driveway -- all 400 feet of it! -- with his tractor. There are good people in the world.

Indeed...
