I always thought Trump Derangement Syndrome was just a joke to poke fun at people who hate the man. But it is real. You have TDS if you:

- Stopped talking to a close family member or long time friend for voting for him without listening to their reasoning.
- If you truly believe the majority of Americans voted for him because we want racism and misogyny to rule the land
- If you are incapable of naming one positive thing the man has done or is doing in spite of how you feel about him
- If you are running around like a five year old hollerin’ “I told you so” to people who clearly don’t regret their vote.
- If you can’t appreciate the fact that the man has opened the books and showed you how the government takes money that should be used to help YOU, and wastes it on gender affirming care for lab mice.
- If you aren’t the slightest bit angry about that.
- If you are actually praying for him to die or fail.
- If you reduce people’s logic reason for voting for the man to a longing for bigotry to make a comeback.
- If you are still posting video of you “coping” with him winning a second term.
- If you actually believe he’s gonna do a third term.
- If you keep calling him and people who voted for him from all races, genders and sexual orientations N***s
- If you are upset about him deporting dangerous criminal illegal migrants.
- If you are still using the “convicted felon” label, to dismiss the views of your loved ones (or former loved ones) knowing it was a weaponized sham of a trial that took misdemeanors that no one else would have been charged with and turned it into 34 felony counts during an election year.
- If you are saying Trump is guilty of crimes he was never criminally charged with. If an allegation with no evidence is all it takes to find someone guilty in your heart, then we are all guilty of something.
- If you love bringing up his sins, but somehow have a blind spot for the sins of his rivals and get upset when people share them with you (I’m a proud whataboutist.)
- if you are sterilizing yourselves becuase Trump won

There is so much more. I used to say “get some help” in light hearted jest.

Now I’m dead serious. Get some help. If you have an issue with a policy of his, I’m happy to discuss. The other 💩, I’m ignoring from now on. Go

Steve Davis is a force at DOGE, which has adopted Elon Musk’s move-fast-and-break-things approach.

Davis, a devotee of Ayn Rand and an aerospace engineer who earned degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and Stanford, was an early hire at SpaceX and has worked for Musk for more than two decades.

His prominence at DOGE surprised few who have dealt with Musk. When the Tesla and SpaceX chief executive acquired Twitter, employees were struck by Davis’s deep involvement across the company. He influenced product, purchasing and talent. And he was relentlessly attentive to marshaling data to cut costs.

Nothing beats a home-baked pie! 🥧

And I just pulled two of my favorites fresh out of the oven for today’s pie auction: cherry & blueberry crumble.

We’ll have plenty of pie to choose from at my Big Barn Bash- you won’t want to miss it! See you at 4:30!

The annual "Rowing with the Whales" takes place on the Des Moines river every spring. The viewers line up in thousands on the bridges from all over the country to hopefully catch a glimpse of the famous Des Moines Whales. Get there early if you want to get a good viewing spot! Sometimes it's like they are playing chase the boat game and it's so much fun to watch! Next year I hope to be on one of the boats with my camera so I can bring you a close up look.
