Keep’’em coming Miss Mingo. We the residents of Florida need the most precious comments about our struggle to maintain sanity.

Loved that question , if you can’t vote because of missing identification / documentation , do you have to pay taxes , or register for the draft . To me that sounds like a reasonable trade off . Why should you be giving anything to this government , if you can’t participate in electing it . Regarding the draft , the despicable , murderous , draft dodging , scoundrel who’s in the White House ( aka the Black House since Tonald Drump set foot in it ) , he is so very very undeserving , unqualified , undignified to be where he is . The mention of the Vietnam war , I believe that somewhere’s around 58,000 men died there . And who knows how many died post war to things like suicide , diseases caused by agent orange , other deadly concoctions . I had a very dear friend , a Vet , he developed a condition that was basically eating his lungs , he struggled for years . Finally they decided to replace his lungs . He died 4 months later . He , and those 58,000 other heroes , would be in my mind , better suited to be a President , than the cowardly , nightmare of a man who’s in that position now . A rapist , a convicted felon , a fraudster , a psychologically disturbed ego maniac , a consummate habitual liar , the instigator / inciter of the January 6th insurection . And now a man who is responsible for a unjust , unlawful , unauthorized war , where the evil hearted SOB is threatening genocide of the Iranian people. He will go down in history with the same characterization as men like Stalin , Hitler , Netanyahu , Putin ! How he ever got to where he is , is the most frightening , discouraging , disturbing , happening of my Life ! God help us !

There certainly is a difference between "Vladimir Putin’s playbook, who, to this day, insists Russia isn’t at “war” with Ukraine, it’s just a “special military operation.…" and war. Believe me, you do not want to be on the wrong side when Russia goes to war. Ask the Germans. Really, it is well past time to give up this silly Russophobia and respect Russia as she right now struggles against a virulent alliance of NATO, the Ukraine, and the American neocons.

Piss off Dems and watch them come out in droves. we’ll take it back. We’ve don’t it before. Trump can cheat he can try and stop the vote but when we win it all back he’ll surely be sore!

There was an un-flushed toilet at Publix whose contents spelled MAGA.

Trump probably already gets paid by McDonald's for serving Big Macs at the White House. Just a step to licensing his name and likeness. Or demanding that they pay the license because, after all, There Can Be Only One Donald.

Dear Miss Mingo, you cutie,

Do you think that Mac Donald would make good fertilizer? Sounds like it’s already composted. Or do you think the’d kill orange groves if scattered there?

But wouldn’t it be great if our ailing planet had some benefit from psychopathology?

Speaking of Jimmy Buffett, just saw the new documentary on the original Coral Reefers, "Occupational Hazards" by John Cunningham. It will be making the rounds of Film Festivals this year. Check it out!

Regarding lotteries, when I studied probability in both Statistics and Mathematics, I learned from my teachers that if the ratio of dollar reward versus the number of ticket holders is greater than 1, your ticket purchase has a favorable probability of winning. Mind you, this probability is not great, but still favorable.
