I'm so glad President Carter lived long enough to see this:

As for me: when tfg beat out Hillary, and I heard my MAGA neighbor yell out, "Yeah!"; and I looked up presidents of the US on Wikipedia and saw tfg's clown ass face...that night—and for the next few months—I felt like I was living in a Twilight Zone episode.

This morning, I feel like I'm dreaming a great dream. How long did we talk about the day that he would be arrested? Did we really believe it would ever happen? I began to think not.

He's still not "guilty" according to our system, but this is an amazing step in the right direction.

Man Claims Powerball Ticket in Historic $2B Jackpot Was Stolen From Him

https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/2-billion-powerball-jackpot-stolen-ticket-lawsuit/3101697/

A man who claims he is the rightful winner of the largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history has filed a lawsuit claiming someone stole the lucky ticket from him.

In the 13-page lawsuit, Jose Rivera claims he bought his Powerball ticket Nov. 7 from Joe's Service Center in Altadena. The next day, a ticket purchased at the store east of Los Angeles matched all numbers in the drawing for the $2 billion jackpot.

Earlier this month, the California Lottery identified the winner as Edwin Castro.

Castro and a mystery man named 'Reggie' are named as defendants in Rivera's lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges 'Reggie' stole the ticket from Rivera on the day it was purchased.

The lawsuit seeks damages and a declaration that Rivera is the winner of the historic jackpot.

It hit me just now (I'm sure many thought this). The reason the GOP is critical of Biden's visit...

is because they want Biden to fail at any cost—even if it means the free people of Ukraine living under Russian tyranny.
The GOP gets uglier and uglier with each passing month.

President Joe Biden is brilliant. That is all.

I just felt the need to say that.
I'm so proud of him and his staff and our soldiers.

With all these spy apparatuses being shot down...

I feel a HELL of a lot better knowing President Biden is in the White House (as opposed to a spineless putin hack).

700 pounds of acorns found in the wall of a California home

https://www.npr.org/2023/02/08/1155458695/woodpeckers-700-pounds-acorns-in-wall-home

A California exterminator got more than he bargained for when he looked inside the wall of a customer's home recently — 700 pounds more.

Nick Castro, who owns Nick's Extreme Pest Control in Santa Rosa, posted photos on the company's Facebook page showing thousands of acorns pouring out of a hole in the wall and covering the floor of a room.

In a video shared on social media, Castro repeatedly scoops out handfuls of the nuts while expressing awe at the size of the stockpile.

Those woodpeckers must have been cursing wondering where all their hard work was going.
