Solution to End these Shutdown Fiascos once and for all:

Solution to End these Shutdown Fiascos once and for all:

BAN ALL FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES UNTIL ALL 12 BUDGETS ARE DONE.

Easy. We would see them all done by February.

Will they ever pass such rules? That is the problem. You know they won't. Just like they won't pass Term Limits.


One can Dream of a More Perfect Union. But that is about it, it would seem.

Just saw the synopsys of tonights "World News Tonight"

All I needed to know was in the (approx 20 second) synopsis.

How many hours (multiplied by all cable news outlets) of FREE CAMPAIGN FOOTAGE did Donald Trump receive?

I know it is historic. But other than the bald facts, what do you really need to know about it?

He showed up. He filed Not Guilty on All Charges. (we knew he would)

Did we really need to see (from 6 am on the West Coast) wall to wall coverage of that?

I didn't have the TV on all day, but just went upstairs and mom was watching David Muir on World News. I actually stopped to listen (it took 20 seconds to cover the relevant information)

I'll give a pass because of the historical relevance of the Day. But it seems that the media was hysterical.

What a crazy world we live in.

Anyone watching Succession?

I have been. At first I had a hard time with it. It was so cringe. Awkward. But over time I think that is almost the aim. I think it is genius. And tonite, if I understand, in about 30 minutes of this posting, is the Series Finale (the last episode).

What I disliked about it, was having to wait a week for the next episode. Today, HBO did a marathon of the entire season, and I have had it on. The writing is just so good. So much innuendo, sublime slams.

And the acting! Shiv is just amazing. And so is Tom. I saw them in an interview, and they are British! Amazing.

I think it is a timely ending for the show, I can't wait for the finale. I was just curious if anyone else has any thoughts on the series.

Ground News

I have come across a news site that helps to sift through articles by helping you determine if the news source is biased either Left, Right, or Centered.

I follow some you tube channels that discuss the Russia invasion of Ukraine, and they (Ukrainians and Russians) both support this site as well. I've heard it mentioned more often of late.

Check it out if you have a bit of time, or, if you are trying to determine the bias (if any) of a particular news source, this tool might help as well:
