Mornin'

Kinda slow this morning.

Oldest son took off in the middle of the night.

For good reason it turns out.... a friend was in crisis and sent a text to my son. He went to met his friend to help him out.

Lost a couple hours of sleep in the middle of the night.

Everything OK now?

And out of curiosity, how old is your oldest son?   (Just in terms of that whole "taking off in the middle of the night" thing....)

Your son has a good heart. I'm sure next time he'll let you know where he is.

16 he spends time out about.

Middle of the night a bit different.

Neither of my two oldest really have any friends.  I'd kind of like if they did go out from time to time, especially oldest boy. Of course I'm still really pissed at him at the moment.

Just pull all Federal Support in Oregon.

Block the Interstates and Federal Highways at the Border.

Shut down the FAA and airports and port facilities. Pull the Coast Guard.

Stop all Federal Funds.

"Yes, I am afraid to direct workers to do their job and enforce our laws against the federal government-I hope that gives everyone reading this pause," she said.

Sure gives me pause -- a bike lane is more of a concern that violent riots.

What violent riots?  That’s just a myth!

There's not much you can do. He's legally an adult.

The gaslighting isn't working.

Only one possible way forward: MOAR RIOTS

Pro tip: If you're going to carry out an arson attack, on a justice center that's sure to be covered by security video cameras, it's probably best not to do so shirtless... with your last name tattooed on your back.

Them cotton-pickin' Democrats making up fake news

Cotton quote on Holocaust was made up by Al Franken

An inflammatory comment about the Holocaust, attributed to U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton and purportedly taken from the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, never appeared in its pages, originating, instead, in a fictional article on the website of former U.S. Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn.

Basically, Franken is doing the same thing as hanging a fake noose.
