Are you actually seeing this post?
Ever since Donald threw his latest unhinged temper tantrum about me (again), folks have been telling me I've mysteriously vanished from their feeds. It appears the deeply unwell narcissist is so terrified of dealing with me in Congress that he’s begged @elonmusk to throttle my account.
This kind of pathetic desperation is nothing new. But I need YOU to help me beat Donald and Elon at their own game. Don't let a malignant sociopath and his billionaire enabler silence us.
Please like, retweet, and click the link below to support my campaign. Let's give him something to really cry about.

12 May 1942 | 56 prisoners were released from the camp: 34 Poles, 18 Czechs, 2 Dutch, and 2 Germans. The Dutch men were Josef Janssen (nr 23610) and Johann Giesen (nr 23611) [both in the pictures].

@CrazyVibes_1 @LarrySabato Thank you for this. The picture isn’t the man

Christmas, 1967. Vietnam. Bob Hope cracks a joke. Then the ground erupts. Rocket impact. The stage shakes. 10,000 troops hit the dirt — mud, helmets, silence.
Secret Service and MPs rush him. “Sir, we’re evacuating. Now.”
Bob Hope steps back to the mic.
He looks at 10,000 men flat on Christmas Day, 9,000 miles from their kids, and says:
“Relax, fellas. If they’re shooting at us, that means we’re the most important people in the world.”
The mud laughs. Then stands up.
And the show goes on.
That wasn’t bravery for cameras. That was Tuesday for Bob Hope.
1941: He starts with 300 soldiers in California. Sees their faces. Gets addicted.
“I looked at them, they laughed at me, and it was love at first sight,” he said.
He never kicked it.
So he chased the wars.
North Africa, 1943 — while the desert was still on fire.
South Pacific, 1944 — island to island, with snipers in the trees.
Korea, 1950 — performing in parkas, breath freezing on the mic.
Vietnam, 1964–1972 — every. single. Christmas.
No five-star hotels. He flew in C-130s with the troops. Ate what they ate. Slept on cots that smelled like mildew and diesel.
And he brought backup: Ann-Margret, Raquel Welch, Joey Heatherton.
Why? Because “a girl in sequins on a plywood stage in a war zone isn’t a show. It’s a reminder. That home is real. That you’re going back.”
He wasn’t drafted. He wasn’t paid extra.
He turned down millions to spend Christmas with strangers who had rifles.
31 Christmases in a row.
1942 to 1972. No breaks. No excuses.
Your dad missed one Christmas for work and you still bring it up.
Bob Hope missed 31 with his wife and kids… on purpose.
And when the wars “ended”? He kept going.
1983: Beirut, days after 241 Marines were killed.
1987: Persian Gulf.
1990: Desert Storm. He was 87. Eighty. Seven.
Four wars. Five decades. 11–15 million troops.
He buried friends. He flew through flak. He told jokes while doctors did triage 50 feet away.
A reporter asked him after that rocket attack: “Why risk it? You could do this in Vegas.”
Hope smiled. “Because Christmas in a war zone is when a laugh weighs the most.”
He died in 2003 at 100 years old.
No one remembers his monologue timing.
They remember the sound of hope — literal Hope — cutting through artillery.
He never fired a shot.
But he stood on more battlefields than most generals.
He never wore a uniform.
But he showed up more than anyone who did.
On the one day a year when being away from home breaks you… he was there.
31 times.
That’s not a career.
That’s a commitment.

In 1994, after learning that 81-year-old Rosa Parks had been mugged in her home, Mike Ilitch, the founder of Little Caesars, quietly began paying her rent. He also helped her move to a safer neighborhood and continued covering her housing costs until her death in 2005.
