Thank the 10-year old daughter for a most excellent Dad Joke! We need to be able to laugh now and then.

She completely took me for a ride. I didn't even see it coming. smh

The 10-year-old is spot on. Reminds me of my students. They (K-3 students) are masters at distracting me from my subject matter.

They're just on a different level.

The Dad joke was great.

Everything else was depressing.

But then as long as Trump is President and Hegseth is his DUI hire, I guess it will be.

I did repost on Facebook your commentary about how the Quran instructs to respond to insults. Just as good as the best Christian texts.

Thanks, Kent. Shared the dad joke as a hopeful antidote to some of the negativity.

Qasim, you better keep an eye on Abbu, she is brilliant with a dose of sly 😉

I loved her joke and if she is okay with it I might use it at the nursing home where I volunteer 🤓

Abbu means "dad." But yeah she got me good with that one. And feel free to use wherever and whenever to spread smiles and eye rolls :)

Thank you very much. My old people will love it. I am always looking for good silly jokes 🤓

I should have recognized Abbu. As a youngster I used ABBA.

Off shore drilling is wrong, and dangerous. They can create oil spills which are very bad for the environment. They are expensive to manufacture and maintain, too. Those off shore drilling rigs are much more ugly than any wind turbine.

Qasim - please do a report on the State of Florida's take over of Alligator Alcatraz and other detention centers torturing and disappearing detainees. See the story in Amnesty International.

This is criminal on a whole new level - putting individuals in a 2'x2' cage out in the sun with no water and their feet shackled to the floor...fecal waste on the floors where they sleep, lights on 24/7, no outside contact allowed, 1x/week some kind of bath. Food and water disgusting - inedible and undrinkable, no medical attention - paid for by State of Florida emergency funds from American tax dollars....THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRIMINAL !!
