The picture above pretty much sums up the last week or so for me. I have had this little piece of joy and hope combined burning brightly in my heart since the November election. I have really felt like the steady slide toward the oblivion of America was cut short with the election of Donald

The two most powerful men on Earth got together over the weekend to see which one has the biggest.  I think the book is still out on that.  EVERYTHING is still out on that meeting.  The Talking Heads don’t care what was or wasn’t said or discussed in the meeting — they do not need
