Back in 1966 or 1967, I was driving to Ft. Lauderdale beach with my teenage friends around 8pm. As we approached the Sunrise Blvd/AIA intersection we saw hundreds of baby turtles heading towards the road instead of the ocean, some were smashed on the road. Almost telepathically, we immediately jumped out and stopped the north/south traffic on AIA and asked people to help us bring the turtles to the ocean. Everyone helped. Everyone. Even the police. It was the most beautiful moment of instant humanity I have experienced.

Best wishes for a peaceful weekend.

Question: What The Hell Is Wrong With Facebook?
Answer: Zuckerberg LOVES The Ad Dollars.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday slammed Facebook for allowing President Trump's reelection campaign to run misleading advertisements about the census.
In more than a thousand ads running on the Facebook pages of Trump and Vice President Pence, the campaign is urging supporters to fill out an "Official 2020 Congressional District Census." The link attached to the post redirects users to the Trump campaign website, where they are asked to take a survey, then make a donation.






They should have just named it the Obamavirus, then Trump would have instantly marshaled all the forces of the US Government to eradicate it.  - Noel Casler

Republicans & Putin Feel The Bern!
Republican lawmakers are surprised and disappointed by the results of Super Tuesday, which firmly re-established former Vice President Joe Biden as the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination and dealt Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) a major setback.


If Donald Trump plans to attack Hunter Biden, I say bring it on. I’m all for a robust discussion about the corrupt practice of nepotism. - Andy Borowitz

Joe Biden responds to Bernie Sanders saying his campaign is heavily supported by the corporate establishment: “It’s ridiculous. Bernie, you got beat by overwhelming support I have from the African American community.”


"Whoa, you don’t screw around with a Philly girl, I’ll tell you what."
Former Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday night joked that his presidential campaign may soon need Secret Service protection because people are worried his wife, Jill Biden, is going to "hurt someone" after an incident involving protesters at a victory speech on Super Tuesday.
“I’m probably the only candidate running for president whose wife is my Secret Service,” Biden joked while speaking at a fundraiser in California. “Whoa, you don’t screw around with a Philly girl, I’ll tell you what.”
