Wholehearted living is about engaging in our lives from a place of worthiness. It means cultivating the courage, compassion, and connection to wake up in the morning and think, No matter what gets done and how much is left undone, I am enough. It’s going to bed at night thinking, Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn’t change the truth that I am also brave and worthy of love and belonging.

In order to apply for any of these they would be turning themselves in — so pretty stupid of anyone trying to convince you it actually happens. Some people will buy anything that 'fits' how they wish to see things so they can make their point of view correct.

How are all those who have encouraged and let this go on going to come up with cover when something does really blow up.

Stand back. Insecure bully at work accomplishing nothing worthwhile.

Mr. Lee since I don't consider you much of a Senator, you did what you wanted to make the impression you wanted so you could stand up with the Loon. You, like the Loon are filth and highly un-worthy of your current position. Apologize, and then shut the f up.

BREAKING: Ted Cruz's most embarrassing moment to date goes mega-viral as a clip spreads of Tucker Carlson exposing the MAGA senator's stunning ignorance on camera: "How could you not know that?"
This was actually painful to watch...
"How many people live in Iran by the way?" Carlson asked Cruz in a clip released ahead of a new interview.
"I don’t know the population," admitted Cruz, who has been agitating for war with Iran for years. He knows such a conflict would be a massive handout to his military-industrial complex benefactors.
"At all?" asked Carlson.
"No, I don't know the population," said Cruz.
"You don't know the population of the country you seek to topple?" asked an astonished Carlson.
"How many people live in Iran?" asked Cruz.
"Ninety-two million," replied the former Fox News host without missing a beat.
"Okay. Yeah I uh—" said Cruz.
"How could you not know that?" asked Carlson.
"I don't sit around memorizing population tables."
"Well, it's kind of relevant because you're calling for the overthrow of the government," insisted Carlson.
"Why is it relevant whether it's ninety million or eighty million or a hundred million. Why is that relevant?" asked Cruz, getting increasingly flustered.
"Well, because if you don't know anything about the country—
"I didn't say I don't know anything about the country," interjected Cruz.
"Okay, what's the ethnic mix of Iran?" asked Carlson.
Cruz's was silent for a moment in stunned befuddlement, then said: "They are Persians and predominantly Shia—"
"What percent?" pressed Carlson.
"Okay this is cute okay," said Cruz, anger flaring.
"You don't know anything about Iran! So actually—" said Carlson.
"Okay I am not the Tucker Carlson expert on Iran who says—" said Cruz.
"You're a senator who's calling for the overthrow of the government and you don't know anything about the country!"
"No you don't know anything about the country!" said Cruz. "You're the one who claims they're not trying to murder Donald Trump. You're the one—"
"No, I'm not saying that," said Carlson.
"You're the one who can't figure out if it was a good idea to kill General Soleimani. You said it was bad," said Cruz.
"You don't believe they're trying to murder Trump because you're not calling for military strikes against them in retaliation," pointed out Carlson.
"We are carrying out military strikes TODAY!," said Cruz.
"You said Israel was," corrected Carlson.
"Right. With our help. I said 'we.' Israel is leading them but we're supporting them," said Cruz.
"You're breaking news here because the U.S. government last night denied, the National Security Council spokesman Alex Pfeiffer denied on behalf of Trump that we were acting on Israel's behalf in any offensive capacity," said Carlson.
"We're not bombing them, Israel's bombing them," said Cruz, tying himself into a tighter and tighter knot.
"You just said we were," corrected Carlson.
"Uh... We are supporting Israel," said Cruz.
"This is high stakes. You're a senator. If you're saying the United States government is at war with Iran right now people are listening!" said Carlson.
The clip ends at that point and the full interview is slated for release later today.
Cruz's virulent ignorance is emblematic of the entire Republican Party. These people stumbled into Iraq without understanding that nation at all, leading to an utterly failed invasion, a subsequent sectarian civil war, and violence that persists to this day. We cannot do the same thing in Iran. NO WAR!
I really have not cared at all for either of these people, but obviously Tucker Carlson did some homework before waylaying as they say Cancun Cruz. I sure hope Cruz along with many others are on their way out this time around.

I called one of my republican senators, whom I disagree with 💯 on issues, and thanked him because he put out a statement condemning Mike Lee's comments.

BREAKING: California Governor Gavin Newsom shreds Donald Trump for escalating his war on Los Angeles by activating another 2,000 National Guard troops in the city and pulling them away from "critical wildfire work and work at the border."
Your tax dollars are going up in smoke for MAGA political theater...
U.S. Northern Command is claiming that the massive number of reinforcements is needed to "support the protection of federal functions, personnel, and property in the greater Los Angeles area." In truth, state and local officials have already said that they do not need or want the heavy military presence in their city.
The 2,000 new troops are being deployed under the direction of MAGA Secretary Pete Hegseth, a former Fox News host and alleged alcoholic who will do quite literally anything Trump wants in order to keep his job.
These reinforcements will surge the total number of soldiers in the city to at least 4,100 National Guard troops and 700 Marines.
This is a blatant effort by Trump to turn the city into even more of a powder keg. He wants violence and chaos to erupt so that he can bring the power of the federal government crashing down on his political enemies. He's not interested in "law and order," he's interested in looking tough to his supporters.
Newsom slammed the news, saying that the troops will be forced to waste their time on behalf of this disastrous administration.
"This isn’t a new deployment — it’s the same group of soldiers who have been diverted from critical wildfire work and work at the border, now twiddling their thumbs for Donald Trump’s political theater," said Diana Crofts-Pelayo, a spokesperson for Newsom.
The legality of Trump's deployment of troops to American cities is currently working its way through the courts. Let's hope sanity and democracy soon prevail and his authoritarian powers are stripped away.
Lord help us survive the drunks, ass-kissers and Kim Jong Loon too.

And Lee knew when he did it, that no one would 'bother' with it. He too, I hope turns into the once was but not total has been in his next election. Barring that, perhaps stepping on a couple of rusty nails.

Others don't put up with him. We need to take a lesson or two.

BREAKING: Music legend Bruce Springsteen goes scorched earth on Donald Trump, calling him a "moron" and a "demagogue" who has brought about an "American tragedy."
And he wasn't done there. The Truth Social response to this one is going to be thermonuclear...
"I think that it was the combination of the deindustrialization of the country and then the incredible increase in wealth disparity that left so many people behind. It was ripe for a demagogue," Springsteen said in a new profile in The New York Times.
"While I can’t believe it was this moron that came along, he fit the bill for some people. But what we’ve been living through in the last 70 days is things that we all said, ‘This can’t happen here.’ ‘This will never happen in America.’ And here we are," he continued.
"It’s an American tragedy," Springsteen added.
That said, the singer says he's holding out hope for the future of America—
"Because we have a long democratic history. We don’t have an autocratic history as a nation," he said. "It’s fundamentally democratic, and I believe that at some point that’s going to rear its head and things will swing back. Let’s knock on wood."
Springsteen previously enraged MAGA world and drew the ire of Trump himself when he kicked off his "Land of Hopes and Dreams" tour with a brutal takedown of the president, calling him "corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous."
"In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration," Springsteen told a crowd in Manchester, England.
"Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring!" he continued.
Later in the show, Springsteen hit his anti-Trump stride again—
"The last check on power after the checks and balances of government have failed are the people, you and me," he said. "It’s in the union of people around a common set of values now that’s all that stands between a democracy and authoritarianism. At the end of the day, all we’ve got is each other."
"There’s some very weird, strange, and dangerous sh*t going on out there right now. In America they are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent. This is happening now," he went on.
"In America, the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world’s poorest children to sickness and death," he continued.
"In my country, they’re taking sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers. They’re rolling back historic civil rights legislation that has led to a more just and plural society," Springsteen said.
"They are abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom," he said. "They are defunding American universities that won’t bow down to their ideological demands. They are removing residents off American streets and without due process of law, are deporting them to foreign detention centers and prisons. This is all happening now."
"A majority of our elected representatives have failed to protect the American people from the abuses of an unfit president and a rogue government," he continued. "They have no concern or idea for what it means to be deeply American."
"The America l’ve sung to you about for 50 years is real, and, regardless of its faults, is a great country with a great people," he said. "So we’ll survive this moment. Now, I have hope, because I believe in the truth of what the great American writer James Baldwin said. He said, 'In this world there isn’t as much humanity as one would like, but there’s enough.’ Let’s pray."
Trump was infuriated by Springsteen's words and launched several Truth Social attacks, calling him a "dried out 'prune' of a rocker" who "ought to keep his mouth shut."
He also threatened to launch a “major investigation” into the singer over his support of Kamala Harris and called him "highly overrated" and a "pushy, obnoxious JERK."
Clearly, Springsteen is not intimidated by this bully. None of us should be. Future generations are counting on us to to fight for our democracy.
I stand with the Boss,
Bruce Springsteen
