Folks. There is a People’s March on Washington planned for Jan 18. So far no reserved buses that’s unfortunate. I live in CT. Any others live here that want to go and fill a car to share expenses. I have a Toyota van but I removed my seats for cargo space. I went 4 years ago.

We have a 44 seat school bus, Bill, coming from Calvert Co. MD. I didn't know we had to register. I've asked a question to the Womens March CEO, as to exactly where we tell the bus company where w are to be let off as it affects the price in our quote. The Woman's March said the particulars like that will be available Jan 2. I was glad to hear it is 10-3, so we can be home by datk.

We all must be like Bella and watch our flock - and that flock that wants to take over our yard!

I came here to say exactly this: Ahhh, Bella! Our country needs such a gentle but fierce when she needs to be, watchdog. (Brilliant minds and all that, Monica! <3 )

Joyce, Bella is beautiful, and your Chicks look so fluffy. Great pic! Thank you for all you do.

Bella is my absolute favorite, but I love to see them all! Thank you for sharing during this weird f-ing purgatory we’re in. Thank God for Netflix and for you and all your brilliant dedication, Joyce, in case my anger prevents me from telling you in the coming months. You are a national treasure. May it be an unexpectedly happy 2025 for you and for all of us. ❤️🎉🙏🇺🇸

Good dog, Bella. We need to take a lesson from her.

I love Bella and her life choices, in spite of what may be some contrarian urges. I admire her protective and peaceful spirit. ❤️

Bella is a shepherd of chickens. Such a good girl.

Maybe we can appoint Bella our Shepherd of America, and she and Joyce can lead us through the storm back to our warm and caring democratic home.

Hi Joyce, Happy Holidays to you and your family. I’m watching the crazy clown car show from a distance. I don’t want to spoil the last few days of 2024 being totally immersed in the clown show yet. Happy Hanukkah and Kwanzaa along with our Merry Christmas.!! Bella is a master at keeping guard!!

Lucas Kunce, Angie, who ran for Missouri's Josh Hawley Senate seat and lost has a substack now. He lets us know what he learned in his 2 years campaigning and listening to Missourians. Worth the read!

With all the craziness happening in our lives as well as the world, it's really nice to have a break from it all, and just enjoy Bella and the chickens. I hope your remaining time with your kids is wonderful and sustaining.

I want be with my Bay Area Family again before the New Year. Per the Associated Press (AP) a few minutes ago 10:30 PM PDT so do multi-generational Mexican families some who are naturalized U.S. Citizens.

Here is the AP Headline: "Mexico tests cell phone App allowing migrants to send an alert IF they are about to be deported" by the Trump Immigration Scar, Tom Homan.

Accurate digital data essential to keeping families from being split apart, children protected & a network of 300 U.S attorneys notified to locate & represent their clients.

It can be done & will be done. Si se suede.

Which reminds me - what of the children that were placed in foster care in various parts of the country during Trump 1.0? How many were located? Reunited with family?

Expand full comment

My understanding

is not all have been reunited.

Expand full comment

That is my understanding as well A R & Glenis Tronic. I have lawyer contacts that have been following these issues because it is many issues -- too many.

Do you mean "Si, se puede"?. I do typos all the time, except when I am showing offcmy linguistic abilities. 🤣🤣🤣

Expand full comment

Not a typo just the last post I did before heading to a pillow.

Got the first 2 letters right but, I missed the opportunity for a more powerful affirmation.

Now the harder part 2 -- I wanted to express both present tense "can" & future tense "will" to express "can & will". But, thank you for the early morning editing.

I should have consulted with my Pixel 8 & gone with "puede y lo hara".

Que lastima.

Bella’s restraint shows what a loving environment she lives in.

This craziness inside the Party of R’s seems to almost be creating a circular firing squad. I’m so fortunate to be a receiver of real news,education and a support system provided by the likes of professionals like yourself, Heather Cox Richardson and many others that are intelligent, true blue Americans. My biggest want is to somehow help save our country and way of life for my grandchildren (all young adults) to enjoy the freedoms I have enjoyed my 70+ years because of all the others before me. Here’s to the remainder of the season and to the work before us. Your Bella and your chickens are the steady calm to ground us.

Bella is beautiful. At one time we had a German Shepard called ginger. She never went to bed until the whole the family was in their bed for the night. Love her and miss her every day.

Bella is dependable!

I think we can all take a lesson from Bella. Stay calm but watchful. Don't let a few chickens pecking at each other distract you. They are not the danger.
