FOOD & FIBER FLOOZIE
The continuing adventures of a floozie...
I am a 70 something Yankee, now blissfully retired in South Carolina. My husband spends his time golfing and painting and drawing, while I love all crafts and lots of baking. I sell most of my crafts to raise money for various charities, and my food goes out to lots of my neighbors and friends. Why am I a floozie? Because I am so easily seduced by the next new recipe and/or the next new and shiny yarn or fabric that I see. It's always fun to try something new!

The UK has announced that they are no longer going to share intelligence with the US because they “cannot trust” Trump! It took a little less than a year for Donald Trump to ruin our special relationship with the United Kingdom, and it’s a sad sign of how far we’ve fallen that our closest allies cannot trust us anymore. “A Foreign Office source told The i Paper that the White House’s “America First” approach showed Trump had ‘no compulsion about screwing over allies’ and stat

Minnesota wanted to investigate. The FBI took over. Then cut Minnesota out entirely. The state no longer has access to the evidence, the witnesses or the scene. The ICE agent who killed Renee Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen, in Minneapolis on January 7 will face no criminal charges. The DOJ ruled it justified self-defense. DHS said Good "weaponized her vehicle." Video analysis showed her car was turning away from the agent when he fired. A family autopsy found she was shot i

SHQ Show & Tell, Sally, Laura & Dave, Carol & Ed
3/23 - Donald Trump rejected a deal that would have immediately reopened the Department of Homeland Security and ended the chaos at U.S. airports. According to reporting from Punchbowl News, Senate Republicans—led by John Thune—approached Trump with a plan to fund all of DHS except ICE. The proposal would have restored funding, ensured TSA agents got paid, and brought stability back to airports across the country. Democrats were prepared to accept the deal. Trump said no.

The cost of building a new hospital is about $100 million.

The President of the United States is now floating the idea that journalists should be charged with treason and death for reporting things he doesn’t like about his war. Sit with that for a second. Treason in U.S. law is one of the most serious crimes on the books and historically has meant literally aiding an enemy in war. Trump is instead applying it to reporters doing their job, while simultaneously praising FCC threats to yank broadcast licenses from networks that don’t c

At the Board of Peace, Donald Trump abruptly began praising Melania Trump and her movie. “She has a very successful movie out right now, like number one. Can you believe this? Big movie star, and I always say it’s trouble, because I always say there’s not room in one family for two stars. I told her that we can’t have two stars in one family, so I don’t know what that means. It’s not good.” Trump also claimed that Melania, the movie, “became the biggest-selling documentary in

Videos of the president with his head hanging down and his eyes closed spread quickly across social media.

The Trump administration is releasing more than $5 billion in long-delayed FEMA disaster aid, though several Democratic-led states where the president has clashed with governors will not receive funds , several sources told CNN. States depend on the money for recovery and mitigation, but over $14 billion had been stalled amid strict Homeland Security spending rules. While more than one-third of that backlog is now being released, a handful of states — including California, Il

Funny how our voting systems worked well for 44 presidents, and suddenly went bad when tRUMP lost an election. Democrat Senator Alex Padilla has firmly dismissed claims of widespread voter fraud, highlighting that such concerns are largely unfounded. He stated, “Donald Trump and Republicans continue to be hell bent on having us believe that voter fraud is rampant, but it’s simply not true. Voter fraud rate is 0.0003%.

President Donald Trump dropped a new riff on his election lies by telling troops that he won the popular vote in 2016 “by a lot” — thereby inventing millions of votes he did not win. Trump has spent years falsely claiming that the 2020 election was “rigged” against him and/or “stolen” from him, despite the fact that Biden defeated Trump in an electoral landslide that has been reaffirmed over and over by state officials from Trump’s own party and dozens of court decisio

BREAKING: Trump’s new “TrumpRX” drug program gets IMMEDIATELY exposed as a scam! Surprise, surprise! The president held a big to-do yesterday at the White House where he boasted about how, for example, with his new Trump RX program, “they’re slashing the price of a common inhaler from $458 to $51, a difference of nearly 800%.” First, off, Donnie, that is not an 800% difference. It is 88%. But that’s not the point. While Trump billed the program as the result of his masterful
