Where you will find progress, not perfection

Dear Mayor Piccozzi, I hope this message finds you well.  I just wanted to let you know that the guys over at Fire Station 8 did a great job helping me out this week. It all started when a chicken who lives across from the O’Reilly’s on Post Road wanted to venture out and explore.  She got halfway across the road before she got scared and stopped.  This caused lots of squealing brakes but no…

Yes, I’m trying the Monday thing again.  Last night was a mess everywhere.  Trump even fell asleep during his own delayed UFC event.  Then they tried the hat cover-up. We need to mix algae and sleepy time somehow. Meanwhile, supposedly Bibi is going to kill the peace deal before Friday.  So all the stock plays this morning might have been exactly that.  Please note that Benny Johnson today is…

So Trump walked out of an interview today because his election conspiracy theories were challenged??  All he had to do was present relevant evidence and the conversation could have kept going.  He cannot do that, however.  Why, because of how his parents raised him. His dad taught him the Compare Politics Model.  His dad did not teach him the basic political tool of…

Yes, I literally did walk down to City Hall into the Clerk’s Office, downstairs, and apologized to the Town Clerk’s team.  It seems one particular human, you can guess who, in Newport, has ticked off lots of folks.  I have gotten request after request.  It’s time to compile them all and have a FOIA-rich week.  I’ll let folks make their own decisions. While that’s happening, Trump’s health seems…

So let me see if I have this right.  The Iran deal is already a mess, the Senate Republicans are annoyed, MAGA feuds are erupting all over social media and, oh yeah, there was another fake assassination attempt this weekend??  This time the guy thought he was Jesus??  Yes, I witnessed that in the “Behavioral Unit” when I went to visit because the Shadow People wanted to stop by.  This has to be…

23 May 2026 Honorable Colonel Michael G. Lima and Honorable Colonel Michael J. Winquist, I hope this message finds both of you well.  In a world where everyone can’t wait to post unhappiness on social media, I thought you should know when your teams do a good job.  We can change trends a little bit at a time. I have been truly blessed since I got sober in 2002.  Whether I have lived in…

So Trump went to China and got literally nothing done.  Meanwhile, the Chinese are doing a better job regarding climate change than we are.  Then today we had that dumb Christonationalist event.  Once again, we were founded by Deists, not Christians. It’s only going to get worse.  Prices are going to get worse.  Discrimination is going to get worse.  Women are going to be raped and if we don’t…

The Republicans can change Districts without a vote by the people, but we can’t even if the people do vote??  I’ve told you 1000 times the magic sky referee is not our friend.  So what am I doing today??  A certain Legislator in Tennessee referred to a black gentleman as “buy” yesterday.  The Legislator’s contributors list is on my desk.  Some friends will be doing a family economic background…

Daily writing promptWhat is the best concert you have been to?View all responses The Firm in 1986 at the Boston Garden. Jimmy Page in that building?? Oh My God.

So Trump was just having an afternoon and then ran to the Dentist??  Yeah, I’m guessing it’s not real too but why pick the Dentist??  This is something we’re not taking enough advantage of.  When they lie, they leave other doors open.  They also tend to screw over parts of their own base. Here in Rhode Island, things are all over the place.  People I usually fight with are suddenly doing things…

So, literally, as I’m writing this, Trump gets shot at??  First, the shooter is dead or maybe wasn’t, and now they’re in custody and the dinner might continue??  The universe started this night off so much better when I was in a special place and met a family member of one of the folks who lost their lives in a tragedy.  The universe seemed to be sending a message. Now we have another Trump scam…

It’s been a weird 24 hours.  Trump posts all over the place last night.  Then the Straight is Open.  Then the Iranians send a boat out, fire some shots, and say, “excuse us??”  Then Trump tried to take credit for a war crime.  Wait until the stock market opens tomorrow. At the local level, the LG might be walking away from McKee.  However, where is she walking to??  The State Senate keeps losing…

Trump just came out against the Pope.  No, I’m not a big fan of this Pope, but if MAGA hates him, I can rely on some grade school thinking and start liking him.  This shows you how scary taking responsibility is for MAGA.  Trump went into Iran with no real plan.  It blew up in his face.  Instead of being accountable, he plays this game. Here in Rhode Island, we have a collection of Senators who…

So does Trump have a full schedule of folks he plans to replace current appointments with??  On one hand, we know how he hates women and how he asked Hegseth to screw over black folks.  If that’d been the plan all along, he might as well have a prepared menu to select from.  On the other hand, Trump suffers from addiction, probably dementia, and only acts in the moment.  For instance, how did our…

Sometimes the universe sends you a message in the weirdest way.  This week, I got a notification that a house was for sale on Main Street in Westport.  After a few clicks, I found out my grandparents’ house up on 3rd Street was also for sale. They bought it in the 60’s while living in Fall River.  As kids, the family went up there every weekend.  Then we’d go to Horseneck and East Beach along…

Yes, thanks to Trump and the Republicans, everything at the Federal Level is a mess.  Prices are up, housing is becoming unaffordable to many, and the “war” in Iran still has no planning in place.  That is indeed bad, and we should react to it. However, the Rhode Island Senate outdid themselves this week.  After approving a McKee appointment regarding McCaffrey, McKee hangs out with forced birth…

Does the war with Iran bother you??  Does Trump bother you??  If you’re a Democrat, how do you feel about other “Democrats” who voted for Trump??  What if I told you that Senators in the Rhode Island Senate recently confirmed a judge that voted for Trump?? You really think McCaffrey really voted for Kamala??  The guy hates women and uses religion as an excuse.  He’s also not a fan of black…
