    Life is short.  Each year passes more quickly than the previous one. It’s easy to deny yourself many of life’s simple pleasures because you want to be practical.  Forget about practical and decide instead to become a joy collector.  Always be on the lookout for gifts without ribbons.  God is strewing them across your path right now.  His gifts come tagged with a note:  “Life can be wonderful.  Do your best not to miss it!”  Enjoy what it is before it isn’t anymore. . . . Dare to slip on a pair of bunny slippers once in a while!  Surprise yourself!  Enjoy the little things because one day you’ll look back and realize they were the big things!

    Ah, the first one really got me since I've been so annoyed about all the gold plating in the Oval Office. I use to love seeing the Presidents ( not Trump who was never even remotely close to same) in the office. Now my first reaction is to gag a little. It's tawdry and in my view a horrid humiliation of a place that should feel and display a sense of dignified strength and seriousness. Now I just see greed and avarice and that office was NEVER meant to be anything near that.

    What is important is to realize that whether we understand fully who we are or what will happen when we die, it's our purpose to grow as human beings, to look within ourselves, to find and build upon that source of peace and understanding and strength that is our individual self.  And then to reach out to others with love and acceptance and patient guidance in the hope of what we may become together.

    But it's a hoax, you say. A heck of a lot of people can't quite get to hoax and by the way — how is it that you seem to be the only one with a whole life of hoax's, Trump.

    When you get to the point of ignorant threats, against a lot of your so-called enemies, you've already lost. Re-igniting ancient history ( already well adjugated, I might add ) along with the Epstein mess that YOU and BONDI brought up for no good reason just makes you look all the worse.

    And that is what Loon is. He is mad at the world for not showing total and complete adoration. He will never get over that ( as long as he has any mind at all, and that part is the one that will hang in there with him the longest) so anything to anyone he can do makes him feel justified and good (only for a very short while ) and since he has not one iota of conscience, before long he will find the next target.

    It is indeed, I'm convinced what keeps those cheeseburgers and fried chicken from doing it's proper job on him.

    BREAKING: Sources within the White House spill the beans and reveal that Donald Trump is unraveling as the Jeffrey Epstein scandal worsens with each passing day and is "sort of paralyzed" by the story.

    His presidency is circling the drain and he knows it...

    “POTUS is clearly furious. It’s the first time I’ve seen them sort of paralyzed," a person close to the White House told Politico.

    Rather than basking in the glow of his disastrous "big, beautiful bill" like he expected, Trump's summer has turned into the Season of Epstein. The more that this administration digs in its heels over the Epstein files, the more the media fixates on the scandal, uncovering an ever-growing pile of evidence that Trump is, as Elon Musk has claimed, implicated in the files.

    POLITICO reports that a senior White House official told them that Trump is "frustrated with his staff’s inability to tamp down conspiracy theories they once spread and by the wall of media coverage that started when Attorney General Pam Bondi released information from the Epstein case that was already in the public domain."

    “He feels there are way bigger stories that deserve attention,” the official said.

    A White House ally revealed that Trump's frustration over the scandal is due in some part to his awareness that it's a genuine "vulnerability." Much of the MAGA base is demanding answers and some are even starting to defect against the administration due to the continued stonewalling.

    "They’re the ones that opened the can of worms on the Epstein conversation. No one made them do this, which makes it sting even worse,” the ally said.

    "They would like to move on and talk about the things they think are Ws,” they added. “They are really annoyed that it’s an overshadowing news cycle.”

    The truth, of course, is that none of the things that Trump claims as "Ws" are actually victories for the American people. The "big, beautiful bill" will kill countless Americans through its $1 trillion cuts to Medicaid and the world economy is still reeling from his destructive and pointless tariffs.

    "House members are worried and it’s screwing up the schedule,” said the individual who is close to the White House. “There have been points of significant pushback behind the scenes where the House has rolled over. But now the Rules Committee rebelled against the speaker over something POTUS finds embarrassing. It’s a big ass deal. You’re looking at a straight congressional rebellion."

    The solution here is simple. Release the Epstein files.

    Not an ounce of sympathy or even a tear shed for his latest debacle. He opened Pandora's box and it released all his ills onto the world for all to see and focus on. Some days you have to pay the piper and if I were a member of Congress I would refuse to take a recess until a decision was voted on. Delaying tactics in this case make the situation more fraught to conspiracy theories multiplying than burning out. Finally the press is acting like an independent source of journalistic information instead of the Trump approved news release for today. Do his billionaire friends really want to wade in this muck?

    Here is a true example of the Trump Derangement Syndrome. As for me, I remain sane and still hate him.
