Life is a series of risks. All the letters in "funeral" also exist in "real fun" and could go either way.

"As she talked with her neighbors and church members, she found that many long-time community residents had no health coverage, even those who worked full time. Many simply went without the care or medications they knew they needed or visited the local emergency room as a last resort."

"Pastor Mary Overstreet Smith didn’t wait for the Red Cross or FEMA to tell her how to help the hurricane survivors in Mississippi, Texas and Louisiana after the storms of August, 2005. She listened to the voice within that told her that people couldn’t wait for help that was too long in coming. She decided to send a van for those willing to make a fresh start in Portland, Oregon, and eventually relocated, clothed, fed and housed forty families."

Don't know who needs to hear this, but electing a white mayor with a speech impediment isn't electing a minority in any sense of the word. This character could be played by the legendary Mel Blanc.

Thanks for making a note of it.

38-year-old Joseph Thompson is off our streets. Good work.

White dudes with hate in their hearts is the antisemitism problem.

Not college kids with a moral compass.

100% tariff on semiconductor imports should get the attention of Israel, right?

They have Intel inside.

Can anyone be surprised about "Operation Trojan Horse" when Cassandra has been telling us this was coming for years?

This rainy day has been a very nice break to remind us of moderate temperatures going into this weekend when the sweltering returns.
