Have you seen Paris, France? France is being destroyed? Have you seen the Molotov Cocktails being thrown at the police so that the police are being set on fire? Have you seen that the police have been forced to carry fire extinguishers as part of their gear in case they must extinguish the fire on their fellow officers? The Evil Immigrant Invasion Muslim Forces have already bragged that Belgium, Germany and Spain are next on their agenda. Why hasn’t this happened in America?
This is why…
The Republicans who think that “Trump is not on the ballot” need to think again. President Donald Trump held more than 25 rallies in October 2026 alone as part of a heavily packed final stretch leading up to the 2026 midterm elections.
If you have not voted…PLEASE DO. If we lose our majorities in congress, “That is our Waterloo.”
Anyone with a brain cell knows that the Democrat/Socialist/Communist crowd want to torture President Trump. They have already bragged from their podiums that they cannot wait to resume impeachment proceedings, eliminate ICE, defund police, etc.
PLEASE GO VOTE! PLEASE, PLEASE GO VOTE! -Sheila Tolley-
The eye color of owls typically indicates what time of day the owls prefer to be active and hunt. Their eyes can be yellow, orange, dark brown, or even black.
In 2006, a group of researchers in Iceland found a really old clam. It was 507 years old, one of the world’s oldest animals.
Caterpillars completely turn to liquid in a cocoon, but as a moth/butterfly can still remember their life as a caterpillar.
Cheetah cubs have long, tall hairs that run from their neck all the way down to the base of their tail, called mantle. It makes a cheetah cub look like a honey badger and allows them to blend into the tall grass, keeping them from threats like lions and hyenas.
I have tuned myself out of politics for today and tomorrow. The final outcome of the 2026 midterm elections and control of Congress will not be known on election night. After the Voting Centers close, we must give some (mostly blue) states time to:
1. Create and replicate the Democrat/ Socialist/Communist votes
2. Make the Republican votes disappear
It takes longer every year because there is only one David Copperfield and too many states require his Magical Powers. Since Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear, the blue states have signed him up for a lifetime contract. California may have their totals by March or April, depending on Copperfield’s availability.
Who knows, there is always the possibility that the midterm results may make me SMILE.
During this self-imposed period of brain dormancy, I enjoy thinking back to moments of my care-free days of childhood.
Do you remember playing Hide-and-Seek? I know you do, or you would not be reading my post. Believe me, no young people enter the land of Tolley’s Topics….at least, not intentionally. But, just in case one stumbled in by accident, I will explain the game.
Hide and Seek is an old and popular children’s game in which:
One person is the Seeker. Everyone else hides.
The Seeker closes their eyes (they cheat and peek sometimes) and counts to 20 (or 50, or 100).
While they count, everyone runs to find a hiding spot.
Seeker yells “Ready or not, here I come!” and starts searching.
First person found becomes the next Seeker. Last one hiding wins!
I am the youngest of the Tolley siblings and among the youngest in my childhood neighborhood. In retrospect, we all know the aggravation of baby-sitting “little brats,” don’t we? It may be younger sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, neighbors, etc. Still they remain, aggravating little brats. As was I.
Well, to make a long story short, I was twenty years old (I kid you not) before my older sister mentioned to me that she and her friends never actually looked for me when we were playing Hide and Seek.
I was hiding, but they were not seeking me!
That explains why they were always playing Parcheesi when I finally came out of hiding after waking from my nap.
Since they never found me…I am The Champion of Hide and Seek! (Autographs available upon request)

In 2012, following the death of “Meow,” a cat who weighed 39.6 pounds, the Guinness Book of World Records stopped recording the heaviest pets in the world to discourage deliberate overeating.
When a cat brings back a dead animal, it’s actually acting out its natural role as a mother and teacher, showing its owners how to catch and eat prey, just like they would teach their young in the wild.
Raccoons are quite smart. They can open complex locks in under ten tries and can still repeat the process if the locks are rearranged or turned upside down. They’ll also remember solutions to problems for up to 3 years.
A group of porcupines is called a prickle.
The barreleye fish has a completely transparent head. It inhabits depths of around 2,000 feet to 2,600 feet where the darkness approaches absolute black.
