DEAR WE THE PEOPLE! According to my calculation, it doesn’t look good for Mr. Trump involving a 13-year-old girl in 1994. Here is that girl, Katie Johnson, at age 35 giving a full description of what Trump did to her.
Hey, media, it has always blown my mind that this never got more traction. There are even three separate sworn witness statements and plenty of references to Trump making threats against them should they come forward, which in the end was enough to get them to drop the charges.
LOCK HIS ASS UP!

It was a Monday in early August 2023. The exhausted truck drivers of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour thought they were heading to a routine production meeting before the Los Angeles shows.
They had no idea what was coming.
Scott Swift walked in. Taylor's father didn't say much—he just began handing out envelopes. When the drivers finally peeked inside, some thought the check said $1,000. Others read $10,000. The third driver stared at his and said out loud: "This has to be a joke."
It wasn't.
$100,000.
Each driver. Nearly 50 of them. The industry standard bonus from the biggest stars? $5,000 to $10,000. Taylor had given them more than ten times that.
But here's what made it matter most: these drivers weren't wealthy. They lived in truck cabs. They hadn't seen their families in 24 weeks. They were people who would never own homes—until now. Until that envelope.
That moment of shock and tears? It was just the beginning.
Across the entire Eras Tour, Taylor quietly handed out $197 million in bonuses. The dancers. The band. The riggers. The lighting and sound technicians. The caterers. Every single person who built the show—they got bonuses, handwritten notes, and wax-sealed letters. When dancers opened theirs on camera in her docuseries, they broke down crying. Some couldn't believe she was real.
"If the tour grosses more, they get more," she explained simply. These people work hard. They deserve it.
But the crew bonuses weren't the only quiet revolution happening.
Starting in March 2023, in every city where the tour touched down, a call came to local food banks. Taylor wanted to donate. No press conference. No announcement. No photo op. One donation fed 75,000 meals. Another provided hundreds of thousands of pounds of fresh produce. Across the tour, the total reached millions of meals—possibly more—all delivered in silence.
She never posted about a single one.
And it wasn't new for her.
In March 2020, when the pandemic locked down the world, Taylor scrolled through social media posts from fans who were breaking. A photographer about to lose everything. A person staring down eviction. She sent direct messages with rent money—$3,000 here, $13,000 there. Some fans got enough for months of bills. She read the Washington Post. She noticed the names. She helped.
She never announced it.
Years later, in October 2025, a two-year-old named Lilah—fighting a cancer so rare that only 58 families in America had ever known it—was filmed by her mother dancing to a Taylor Swift song. Lilah called Taylor her friend. A few days later, the GoFundMe received a $100,000 donation.
The note said: "Sending the biggest hug to my friend, Lilah! Love, Taylor."
Mike Scherkenbach has worked with the wealthiest people in music. He's seen the bonuses. He's seen the behavior. He's watched billionaires guard their money jealously.
What he saw with Taylor was different.
The biggest tour in history grossed $2 billion. The artist behind it became a billionaire from her own songwriting. And then she signed her name onto hundreds of envelopes by hand and sent enough money back to the people who built her dream that they cried opening their letters.
That isn't strategy. That isn't a publicity stunt.
That's what happens when someone, somewhere along the way, remembered what matters.

The Shire was shaped by Tolkien’s childhood village of Sarehole, a green place later consumed by industry and steel. That loss haunted him, turning memory into myth and nature into resistance against the machine. Even paradise, he reminds us, is fragile, especially when it feels like home. What does that idea mean to you? 🍃🏡⚙️📖✨

BREAKING:
Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'.
They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that the Treasury Department has made to the DOJ to implement it.

🔥 Yo, check out this 19-year-old dude cooking fried rice in a full suit 😂
His name’s Lu, from Yantai in Shandong. He started helping at his family’s night market stall at 17, and now at 19 he’s running the show — dressed like he’s going to a fancy dinner instead of slinging street food.
Every night he rolls up in a sharp suit and tie, hair slicked back, and starts flipping massive woks with flames shooting everywhere. High-knee stance, egg catches, the whole show. People go crazy for it. He bangs out 200+ plates a night, each one done in about 3 minutes for like 10 yuan (~$1.40). That adds up to around 50,000 yuan a month (~$7k–$9k USD). Yeah, he’s the main one taking care of the family now.
He tried the suit one day just to look more “proper” and it blew up. Everyone calls him the “Western Suit Fried Rice Brother” and half the comments say he looks like Sanji from One Piece. When folks doubted the money, he even went live to show the real numbers.
This guy’s out here turning regular fried rice into a whole vibe with nothing but hard work and serious style.
Absolute legend 👔🍳

@LittleMissLizz I would *never* pelt anyone with a coffee.
Perhaps a warm, soft and fresh beignet instead?

This Monday sure has been a long week. Feel free to pelt me with coffee. My ability to afford to continue the whole being alive thing & creating content appreciates you. 🖤
