Original Article

Michelle Obama says she’s back in therapy as she begins her “transition” to the “next phase” of her life. I’m not kidding; that’s exactly what People magazine is reporting. According to the article, during a recent appearance on Jay Shetty’s "On Purpose" podcast, Obama opened up about her current focus on mental health. She revealed that after years in the spotlight — including eight in the White House as first lady — she’s now turning to therapy to help guide her through this personal transition. “At this phase of my life, I’m in therapy right now because I’m transitioning, you know?” Michelle said, according to the magazine. “I’m 60 years old,

She is coming to the realization that no one is interested in her. Including Obie.

Maybe she should try transitioning into a human being instead of a whiny spoiled brat.

Liberals have no moral compass. They have no foundational truths upon which their lives are built. All they have is their circumstances, taken in with a tunnel-vision view devoid of any background to put things into context. That is why they think they can change gender. That is why they think policy is the answer to the human condition and not personal responsibility. That is why they cannot see unintended consequences that a conservative sees walking straight down the middle of Main Street. Liberals wear blinders that prevent them from seeing broad truths. That is why they freely use words such as those spoken by Corey Booker in the Kavanaugh hearings - "Thank you for sharing YOUR truth". That statement makes sense to a liberal but is pure folly to a conservative. Oh... Michelle(?) Obama shares all of these weaknesses in character.

I don’t care which side of the aisle. A person is on politically, we need to go back to the days when president and first ladies quietly retired from politics after leaving the White House. This astonishingly unlikable, ungrateful, privileged woman is a perfect reason why this should be.

Must have money to waste, but complains about spending money on food. What ever happened to working out one's own problems without a doctor? Ultimately, it's on her to cope with life. The obvious solution is to run for political office. Her doctor told her so.

It's just too insane. Once upon a time people tried to contain their crazies, but in Dim Land it's a feature not a bug. Like being on a TV gameshow - how to get the most attention. Getting attention is everything. I like Trump's method much better than the Dims' methods. Heros should get attention, not Sickos.

From the article: "How insufferable can Michelle Obama get? I suppose it makes sense — her fame has always been tied to her husband, and now she’s grappling with the fact that she’s no longer the center of attention. Her attempt to stay relevant, like that flop of a podcast with her brother, hasn’t exactly set the world on fire." There are many people who have become empty nesters who haven't been in the spotlight and have to deal with "life" just like Michelle Obama. The difference is that some of these people have not been endowed with a large home, security detail, Netflix deals, etc., etc. Many have to deal with what she describes quietly. What she describes is a life without God but because there are many who don't believe in Him, I could come across as beleaguering my point.

She's transitioning into a Wookie. Like anyone cares. So what does that make BO? I wonder what the "Brothers in the Hood" will think about it? The "Sisters" will probably cheer MO. Just think, we might have had the first "transitioning" President in history if some dems had their way. I wonder if any of them might have mentioned it before the election? The whole backstory about the Obamas is fake and full of holes. Their story is a lie. Should anyone be surprised?

Did anyone hear anything about Mamie Eisenhower after she left the WH? I didn't think so. And that is how it should be. I will give George W. & Laura kudos for basically living a private life. But I guess it is all she has, it is how she identifies herself. Maybe $ millions can't make you happy but she has always been grumpy so I guess that shoots that theory to hell. Maybe she can start another garden but this time actually do it herself.

So now she’s an empty nester. Most husband/wife couples find that phase of their life a great opportunity to do things they may not have been able to do with their children at home. She comes across as a very unhappy soul. I pity her therapist.

This ungrateful person is like her twin, Meghan Markle.

Get over yourselves and actually try to help people in need. You've got the means, but liberals never use their own money to help others.

Self-pity and a sense of victimhood in one so richly favored in this life is such an unattractive trait. The Obamas have been showered with money and given adulation for nothing other than melanin. There's something so odd about them. One thinks back to The Godfather film--or was that The Oddfather spoof in Mad Magazine?--when Don Vito, played by Marlo Brandin, grabbed Johnny Fontaine (aka Ronnie Fonatra) by the lapels, shook him, and ordered him to "act like a man!" Good advice for all men, even for those who aren't sure. As Tommy Cooper said, "I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not quite sure."

After all that Michelle has done and decisions that she has made during her life; from being an attorney, First Lady, meeting Heads of State, political speeches, podcasts, raising children, travel, raising money, being a wife & mother, being on corporate boards, and other work responsibilities; how could Michelle be insecure and not know "what to do next"? She is not some housewife who stayed home for the past 20 years taking care of her house, kids, and catering to her husband's needs. She portrayed herself as a strong, independent, smart woman capable of doing anything. People wanted her to be President. Now, she is portraying herself a some confused, sheltered, and weak woman who is afraid to make her next move without the guidance and help of her therapist.

It's near the same location as a March alligator attack in which a woman was bitten on the elbow while kayaking. At a news conference Wednesday, FWC Maj.

In our modern age, the electric grid is the mother of all networks. Without electricity, advanced forms of transportation and communications virtually grind to a halt and nearly all digital and electronic devices are rendered practically useless. When the grid goes down, we lose conveniences like air conditioning, lighting, and other amenities that we often take for granted. Several days ago, Spain, Portugal, and parts of France and Belgium lost power for an extended period of time, demonstrating just how devastating a total grid collapse can be to our modern way of life.

CLEARWATER, Fla. - Dozens of residents were urgently evacuated from a 12-story condominium building on Tuesday after construction workers discovered a growing crack in a support column in the building’s parking garage. What we know: The incident unfolded quickly as Clearwater Fire & Rescue and Clearwater police officers went door to door, evacuating about 60 people from the South Beach III Condos, located at 1460 Gulf Boulevard. No injuries were reported, and the building has not collapsed, but officials say no one will be allowed back inside until engineers deem it safe.

Today the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released a report on the FBI’s investigation of James (“Tom”) Hodgkinson’s attempt to assassinate the Republican House members’ baseball team. You can read the report here. The Committee excoriates the FBI for mislabeling Hodgkinson’s firing of 70 rounds at Republican Congressmen an instance of “suicide by cop.” That claim never made any sense. Hodgkinson lived in Illinois, and if his overriding objective had been suicide, he didn’t need to drive to Washington, D.C. They have cops in Illinois. He didn’t need to case out the park

Habemus papam — we have a pope, and progressive Catholics will likely be pleased. And for the first time ever, the pope is an American. Cardinal Robert Prevost, now Leo XIV, is an American who also has Peruvian citizenship. He was a favorite of the late Pope Francis but has often kept a fairly low public profile, meaning that while his tendencies indicate a less traditional and strictly doctrinal perspective, his likely actions as pope have yet to be clearly predicted. But his first speech ominously seemed much in line with progressive rhetoric. It is unfortunate that the new pope was a favorite of the late Pope Francis, who prioritized leftist politics
