There’s a store in Troy that sells discounted groceries and food staples. It’s called Bargain Grocery, and they usually have overstocked items, “scratch and dent” items, or foods just reaching their expiration date, and need to be sold fast. You can find some great products there if you look carefully. And in doing so yesterday,…

I have some choices for movies this week. The Testament of Ann Lee debuts this week, and some Oscar-nominated films are getting rebroadcasts on the multiplexes. And then there’s the Melania movie. Ugh. THAT Melania. From what I understand, Amazon Studios paid $40 million to the Trump family to curry favor with the administration. They…

I’m sharing this post from Mastodon as a link (click here), and I’m also reposting this, word for word, because these words are extremely important. This is the horrifying, dehumanizing attack on our brothers and sisters. For every Renee Good who is murdered on camera by these ICE goons, there are these little-told and little-known…

She’s also not returning to Congress when her term ends, claiming the desire to spend more time with her family. And with that … hopefully … New York’s elected cancer may finally go away.…

The kindest thing I could ever say about Megyn Kelly is that she has this unerring ability to use “weasel words” to back up her spurious and specious and two-sided claims whenever necessary. And yesterday, her discussion about – and, apparently, defense of – sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was full of such weasel-worded bilge. This…
