I was hoping to be placed in a medically induced coma for the next 4 years--and then they closed the NIH, CDC, FDA, and all the health folks down. So, now, it's wine time all day, every day, until my liver explodes. But, hey, I will save money on meds.
I'm eating gummies by the handfuls. My therapist did tell me that her business has doubled and patients are asking to be medicated for the next four years. We're not alone. At least I can legally grow my own weed now. Weed and my grandkids are my joy. The rest of me is mad as hell, that half our country is filled with misogynistic, homophobic, xenophobic, bigoted, Christian Nationalists, functionally illiterate fuckwads.
Fuckwads are the price the Creators demands Creator demands or Creators demand I am not a Pharisee or a Sadducee but I went to English Protestant school like Kamala Harris) for our living an unsustainable lifestyle on a very small biosphere in the Milky Way Galaxy reality. I get my THC and CBD from Quebec's Cannabis Commission's Whole Earth Catalogue.
Quebec loves gummies and makes the best commercial gummies outside of Taiwan, Japan and the Arabian peninsula. Sadly for gummies that deliver the je ne sais pas quoi you need a doctor's prescription for specialty edibles but I get my Chili Kush from our catalogue but my wife does't inhale or eat hot curries from Asia, Africa, Scotland or the Americas or THC and CBD gummies because you don't do naughty thing in DeVos' Dutch Calvinist non-conforming Protestant Michigan home of baseball, apple pie and The AMerican WAY Ponzi Scheme.
I make my own gummies. I use a Magic Butter Machine. The machine makes tincture in 8 hours. I've been off medications for 6 years now. Just weed and CBD oil. Actually, Israel has the best studies on marijuana in the world.
Health Canada is my go to. They say it delays Alzheimer's and being blind in one eye and lacking depth perception and a slow growing cataract in the other I stopped driving in 2019 and didn't renew my licence when I turned 75 in 2023. I read Ha'aaretz after La Tribune our local daily and I like Israeli science but Orthodox theology is too reform Christianist called (Reform, Social Credit, National Socialist, United Conservative) in Canada. For someone like myself born Jewish and Asperger's under Quebec's Padlock Laws in 1948, Judaism is 8 Billion different religions never mind the Kakistocracy that Henry the Eighth had inflicted in June of 1535.
My wife is a PhD from Chicago when it was a UNIVERSITY not a business school like Trump University. David Suzuki was one lab over and Nikolai Tesla was an American scientist not a battery operated coach and carriage inspired by Benjamin Franklin.
We are a liberal democracy in need of PhDs younger than my 86 year old partner and great grandmother. All you must do is give up 1984 Newspeak as your lingua franca.
You got that right. My PhD is from Univ of IL at Chicago, School of Public Health. I'm worried about all the bright young scientists we will be losing in the next 4 years. Mass exodus.
I was the only white ( Jewish) patient at the University of Illinois at Chicago's Michael Reese Hospital (built by and for and by Jews)for two months before we left Chicago in 2003 and my wife's Blue Cross Blue Shield meant I could visit the same medical practise as the Obamas but Michelle Obama's University of Chicago Hospitals sent me to the under financed and poorly equipped Michael Reese where I was treated like visiting royalty. Sadly THE real estate WAS TOO VALUABLE FOR MOST RESIDENTS OF CHICAGO'S NEAR SOUTHSIDE and the Woodlawn of the 1990s. Kamala grew up in my Montreal ghetto and went to Westmount High School when it was an English Protestant Public High School and she learned real American history from an English perspective. "Perception is real in its consequences."Voltaire
Kamala Harris Westmount High School is online in 2025 My wife taught at Hyde Park Academy definitely NOT in Hyde Park in the 1960s and seventies. They wouldn't dare build the Obama Center in Hyde Park NIMBY is the first neoliberal commandment with a bullet turned up to 11 on the amplifier.
Even French Speaking 85% of Quebec is proud of Leonard Cohen and Kamala Harris and Westmount English speaking PUBLIC High School.
I hope you don't mind my query but neither my wife or I watch scripted television. We are collectively 163+ I want to cancel cable tv altogether but I watched triple A baseball at Delormier Downs when The Havana Sugar Kings played the Brooklyn Dodgers' Montreal Royals. I've been online for 50 years and am both a relic and spectator. I remember The Spectator
Some of us don't have an iphone, Moe, and like to watch endless reruns of NCIS on DVR. Maybe more of us don't than do. I've never seen any statisticsm but I've seen a lot of ads for iphones. Does that count?
I hate phones and the iphone was a need not a want because Quebec does Europe's platform not Microsoft or the Google's marketing. Iphones are not a luxury in French speaking Quebec. We are neither bicultural nor bilingual and we are neither Roman Catholic nor English Protestant. WE are neither male nor female we are analog like gender and our race is homo sapien and our religion is HUMANISM and our society is Secular humanist liberal and democratic and our Press is both corporate and independent and I never dreamed of owning a smart phone or an iphone but when we have a power failure we lose ALL phone service and we are 163+ collectively and helpless at o degrees Farenhheit when we lose heat in our home here next to the Appalachian Trail's southern extremity in Canada's Latin speaking Province.
Even I own an ancient flip phone for Just the weather events you describe, Moe. Maybe not 0 degrees but certainly 100 mph hurricane winds that seem to be blowing through Florida with depressing regularity these days. Sometimes self protection overrides distaste for smart phones.
O degrees is 32 Fahrenheit sometimes it rains sometimes it snows and in Ski country Christmas is lonely at 0 degrees. Minus five means a merry jolly yuletide carol. My wife and I came to Pensacola at Christmas with my father in law's Christmas trees in the 1980s and 90s. In 2025 we had a green Christmas in ski country and Pensacola looks ideal for cross country.
It is minus 9 here and the skiers are here from all over God's Creation and February 14 is the most sacred day in the Quebec Calendar Festival de Poutine the food of the gods of skiing and the sacred Poutine de Drummondville. Personally I prefer the curds of the goats of Woolwich Quebec.
Notes taken, JoJo 💥 thank goodness we've got You, and at least you're staying grounded for the rest of us . Love you much 😘 and I'll be staying away from dancing with knives LoL 😜 will reStack ASAP 💯👍
Woman, nobody can make me crack up laughing, gross me out, make my ass itch, make me overheat, laugh again, holla, want to cry, and want to scream being stuck listening to kids' music nonstop, like you can!!!!! 🤣 This is hilarious, although sad AF. I just wrote one called 'staring into the abyss'. Not even close to as clever as yours. I feel like an amateur. Wait, I AM an amateur; imagine that. 😆
JoJo, can you please call my mom and just say All Of This? As usual you say everything (and more) that I think but could in no way articulate as well as you. Thank you. For everything you say, everything you stand for and everything you do! You really are an inspiration. Have you written a book yet? You should.
Given that Hegseth is on final approach for approval, anyone in the military academies should withdraw. Any active duty military, if you are eligible to retire or at the end of your enlistment, get out now.
If not, you are likely to wind up fighting in Panama or Greenland.
Visual imagery I expect from any good writer, but olfactory imagery takes real skill and your depiction of Steve Bannon scores a 10. This will be a smelly 4 years, an occasional walk in the woods or column from you will help.
It’s his niece, the daughter of his brother Fred Trump who’s buddy at Penn ( on the admissions committee) got him into Penn where he transferred from Fordham. The sister ( former judge, deceased not too long ago) is on tape discussing how her brother got some kid to take his SAT. Fred died from alcoholism and later on the orange guy tried to cut off Fred’s son ( Mary’s brother) who is special needs from the family estate which would have prevented needed care.
Another tidbit: our current pres was sent off to military school in upstate NY after he punched a teacher in high school.
Yes, yes, I've heard her speak and I might've even downloaded her book and have so many to read, I fell behind. I know a small part of the story. He's also a draft-dodger. Bone-spurs my ass.
I wonder how quickly folks will start dying from meat and chicken not being checked properly, drugs not properly labeled or verified/tested (of course, we won't be able to afford them anyway, even if we have insurance) and if sticking a penlight up our rear ends will suffice for light therapy to burn away the bad bugs the next time an epidemic or pandemic hits? And all of this is JUST THE BEGINNING of restoring our FREEDOMS? I know -- they must mean freedom to suffer physically, mentally and financially, right?! Yeah, that's it, that's what ol' Muskrat meant when he said Americans are going to "go through some things" and that'd get "much worse before it gets better". How nice to be told that by the richest man in the world.
And won't it be swell when an outbreak of something, and no one finds out because the agencies responsible for keeping tabs on those things have been muzzled.
Pretty good summation of where I'm at as well. Seeing as though I'm down in the "Not So Sunshine state" and it is fucking cold. There is a lake out back that has alligators in it and I bet if I go out there and give them the old Nazi salute and jump in, they won't bother me. It might be as therapeutic as what I'm witnessing and maybe I can get my wife to sell "shit-coins" to the event and make a fortune because its Maggot country and they will buy anything except eggs.

The CBD teas and beets or cauliflower are ideal if I could still follow the Appalachian Trail but those tree branches hurt when you walk into them. 😉😉

Is there any reason for television? I have an iphone.

It is 11:45 EST !0:45 Pensacola time which is already six decades behind in time.🤣
What's an hour when you have six decades to catch-up on and Noah Land is closer than the Smithsonian.
Notes taken, JoJo 💥 thank goodness we've got You, and at least you're staying grounded for the rest of us . Love you much 😘 and I'll be staying away from dancing with knives LoL 😜 will reStack ASAP 💯👍
Once again, Jo, brilliant.
I’d also like to know how you conjure the images and metaphors you write. If it’s chemically derived, I want some.
Me too! 😁
It’s probably that I’m fucking insane. 😂
Hardly. Just your brilliant mind (and the chemicals ?)
We still want some of that 'ish JoJo. LMFAO
Can you overnight it? 🤣
Woman, nobody can make me crack up laughing, gross me out, make my ass itch, make me overheat, laugh again, holla, want to cry, and want to scream being stuck listening to kids' music nonstop, like you can!!!!! 🤣 This is hilarious, although sad AF. I just wrote one called 'staring into the abyss'. Not even close to as clever as yours. I feel like an amateur. Wait, I AM an amateur; imagine that. 😆
I'll check it out, Ray. You'll be hearing from me 😃
Hey thanx Charles!
Appropriate metaphors today, Jo! Stay focused and safe! We need you more than ever
Best visual (no pun intended) ever: Blind raccoon hopped up on Ketamine. Thanks for the much needed laugh!
JoJo, can you please call my mom and just say All Of This? As usual you say everything (and more) that I think but could in no way articulate as well as you. Thank you.

If not, you are likely to wind up fighting in Panama or Greenland.
I’m worried they’re going to be asked to do so much worse. 😞
I agree, the felon could order troops into US streets. My view is that that is not a legal order and therefore is the military obligated to obey it.
My youngest stepson is an Army doctor. He's coming up on 20, I think, and I hope he retires.
Visual imagery I expect from any good writer, but olfactory imagery takes real skill and your depiction of Steve Bannon scores a 10. This will be a smelly 4 years, an occasional walk in the woods or column from you will help.
It IS a fucking mess. I love your voice.
Thank you for the laughs. I seriously need any that I can find these days. And I know I can count on you, JoJo.🩵
What the hell happened in his youth to fill him so full of hate?
His niece, or is that sister, can tell you all about it. I think her name is Mary Trump. Besides, his father was in the KKK.
It’s his niece, the daughter of his brother Fred Trump who’s buddy at Penn ( on the admissions committee) got him into Penn where he transferred from Fordham. The sister ( former judge, deceased not too long ago) is on tape discussing how her brother got some kid to take his SAT.

Where he got to dress up like one of the soldiers from The Nutcracker. That was his Vietnam. Or some people such bullshit....
Correction. It’s Fred Trump’s grandson ( Fred Trump III) that has the disability ( Mary’s nephew).
Excellent piece JoJo. Keep going😘
I wonder how quickly folks will start dying from meat and chicken not being checked properly, drugs not properly labeled or verified/tested (of course, we won't be able to afford them anyway, even if we have insurance) and if sticking a penlight up our rear ends will suffice for light therapy to burn away the bad bugs the next time an epidemic or pandemic hits?

Excellent! Thanks JJ!
