Good morning!! HOORAY for Morocco! This is huge news, and verily it doth please me greatly!

I voted my absentee ballot this week. 💙

It’s time to call my local shelters, anyway, and since I’ve been working on a purge/glow-up on my beloved tiny house, the timing is perfect. Winter items are on sale right now, too. Thanks for the reminder.

Keep on doing your excellent work. I look forward to coffee with you! Cheers! ☕️

Just like the Kennedy Center was financially stable before Trump got his greasy hands on it, so has everything else he touches. He ruins everything he touches from the economy to little girls …

I look forward to your column every Saturday. Unlike several others on Substack, I don't have to wade through the mud of countless cuss words and endless put-downs. At this point, we are all cussing and have derogatory words for this administration. I can't get any angrier, and I don't need my rage acknowledged.

I need precisely what you offer, in the style in which you write. Thank you for picking notable subjects and sourcing them. Thank you for keeping us informed without raising my blood pressure more than it already is.

LOVE the Socktober story! Good stuff - I love hearing about the good. Too easy to believe it’s all awful without the inspiring stories.

Thank you, Olivia. Have a great weekend!

So the Texas Farm Bureau does exactly what I would have predicted: Endorsed a crook who’s in a party that’s trying to destroy them.

Because they’re afraid of socialism while they take every gov’t handout that comes their way.

I came across this the other day; Herman Goering on the rise of Nazism.

Sound familiar?

"Oh, that is all well and good," he answered, "but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy." The mechanism required neither genius nor complicated persuasion: "All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger." He paused to emphasize the universal durability of the technique: "It works the same way in any country."

Good morning, Olivia. All we can do is make a plan, vote early and use drop boxes associated with local county ties. Tell friends to get out and that their vote matters.

All of Miller, Patel, Snoozie Viles, and others need to be documented for future trials.

Also, I trust you are aware what is going on in Brazil and Bolivia where the predatory US administration is putting (or trying to) authoritarian puppets to run these countries as the US tries to dominate western hemisphere

USA v Mexico today!
