I'm having a laminectomy next week. I'm not asking for medical advice but if you've had one

I would like to know what your experience was. I am in a great deal of pain with spinal stenosis and can't wait to get this done.

My ex-husband was nominated for US Attorney (of a state I won't identify) by Bill Clinton. I got a visit

from the FBI. I remember the Agent telling me that it was routine.

Lets talk about how the LA area ravaged by fire should be redeveloped. I'm thinking that

I would bring back the tight knit low/moderate income communities and small businesses first. I would convert the Malibu beach strip into public open space. Just a few thoughts. What are yours?

Donald Trump should donate his Inauguration Fund to California for the victems

of the fires. He should tell his ugly hordes to stay home and he should have his swearing in in a f'ing phone booth.

Maybe this would be a good new meme for Democrates:

"Elon Musk is Donald Trump's spokesman; he speaks for Trump.
Everything Elon Musk says has been approved and is supported by Donald Trump."

It's time to bring the Corrupt Wizard out from behind the curtain. He needs to own what "his people" are spewing.

I have been on Bourbon Street on New years Eve. It was jammed with people...families with little children,

locals, tourists, musicians and drunks. It was one big joyful party. We ducked into a dark little hole in the wall to get out of the crowds and found a small group of very elderly men playing banjos. We sat on milk cartons and were transfixed.
What happened last night was meant to terrorize us and send a message that nowhere is safe anymore.

Someone at dinner yesterday said to me: "Reading is becoming a privilege." The rest of the dinner

was taken up with a discussion of what that means. A math teacher at the table said that some of her kids have never read a book. I have an 11 year old granddaughter who won't read anything that isn't on a screen.

I am at a loss to know what is going on here.

I say Good for Him.

I am thrilled that the President pardoned his son. Let the rapist/34 count felon/fraudster/grifter fulminate all he wants. I hope Biden pardons every member of his administration and his staff for anything and everything they ever did while serving their country.
