I have always had a huge disdain for the left and their causes. From allowing (and even facilitating) an invasion of illegal aliens from broken nations, to weaponizing identity politics, to the warpath against white men, and all the way to DEI and sociopolitical engineering our children. The leftist social propaganda in and of itself was nauseating and getting old. It was divisive and destructive.

I voted for Trump all three past elections cycles, and I honestly have to say I am regretting placing any ounce of hope in Trump. I feel we have been duped beyond belief. Over a year into his presidency, I feel we have spun farther into a dystopian nightmare.

What happened to no wars? That was a lie. What happened to lowering groceries on day one? That was a lie. That rebate check idea that was floated around after the DOGE savings? I don't see it.

In fact, what I do see is the predatory "Own nothing; be 'Happy'" initiatives thriving. Homeownership has become more and more unobtainable, especially among younger generations. Our fire departments are failing. Our public safety infrastructure is crumbling. Our fuel prices have jumped up. The job market has become more volatile and unstable than ever. Looming mass job displacements are around the corner. We are criminalizing our homeless in a time where people with degrees are working multiple jobs to afford rent. Spying on everyday Americans from Flock Cameras to the use of AI and facial recognition is skyrocketing.

When you have had strongly vocal MAGA supporters turn sour on Trump, such as Marjorie Taylor Green, Elon Musk, and Tucker Carlson to name a few, you know it is bad. I don't trust Elon Musk either, but bottom line, once die-hard Trump supporters are turning their backs.

Let's face it, this is ultimately a battle between the elite and the typical, everyday American. Trump has sold us out to the elite ruling class. When there is no side to turn to, you know we are all toast.

The car, one of a few, has finally given up the ghost. Not unexpected, just unexpectedly the date. Months ago the mechanic agreed it was on its engines last kilometers, fit to drive and safe, just that it was showing its age. After 25 years, and with no rust, it had finally given up the ghost. 👻

I can't help yet feel some sadness, not for an object, yet more the memories and the nostalgia of all things in life. Much like fictional Noddy in the 1990s and his iconic car. It's important to appreciate when an object has "given up the ghost" - humbly 'briefly lament it' - and onto the next used car shopping 🚗🙃🙂🥲

Something that creeped me out is learning more about Moray eels, as I've added eel to my diet.

Believe it or not, it's actually quite good. Most of my life, I didn't understand fear of snakes aside from a healthy fear of not getting too close and provoking animals that may cause harm.

I looked up photos of Moray eels and yeah, these things are terrifying looking. Now they're nocturnal, look and move like sea snakes and have several sets of creepy jaws, sacred yet?

Okay, they use a second set of backwards facing jaws to move forward, grab their prey, and pull it down it's throat into its stomach. Scared yet, no?

Okay, they sometimes tie themselves in knots to gain leverage and tear up the bodies of their prey, and also, look at the picture for 5 seconds without looking away.

Yeah, sorry for ruining your sleep schedule...
Just remember they're a million times more terrified of you than you could ever possibly be of them, if it makes you feel better.

What's something that scared you? Do you think eels are scary now?
