I really LOATHE stupid people.

I was listening to Dan Patrick this morning and he had Michelle Tafoya as a guest. She told him about her departure from sports and entrance into the political scene. She said this was partially because she was the child of "Dreamers" and that she wanted to get the message out that everyone should have the same chances that she had growing up.
So, I'm thinking, great, she is going to campaign for the Democratic governor of Minnesota. NOOOOOOOOOOOO, this is what I found when I got home and did a search.

Tafoya will announce Monday that she will be the co-chair of a political campaign for businessman and Army veteran Kendall Qualls, who announced in January that he is running as a Republican candidate for governor in Minnesota.

I hate stupid people and I hate hypocrites. Tafoya seems to be both.

Mardi Gras--STILL racially divided

While this article is 5 years old, it still holds true today. Mardi Gras is one of the more racially divided events still held in America.

The glitter and mayhem of Mardi Gras in Mobile, Ala., cannot disguise the fact that some Carnival parades are still racially segregated, with krewe members of a single ethnicity, AL.com reports. Yet interviews with Carnival and city officials showed that most do not believe the problem needs to be addressed, as AL.com reports.

Leaders of both the historically black and historically white Carnival associations told AL.com that the Carnival "promotes inclusion, rather than exclusion." But that is not the reality on the ground, AL.com reports, as evidenced by the race of riders, a 2004 event at a Carnival ball, or a 2008 documentary that raised the question: "Could Jim Crow still hold sway in Alabama's venerable port city?"

Topical pet peeve: It's NOT the Cincinnati BANGLES.

It's the Cincinnati B"e"ngals. There, I feel better now.

Thank you so much for my hearts. It means so much.

I stand with Brian Flores

I do not believe ANY of the push back from the NFL, the Dolphins, Giants or the Denver Broncos. IMO, they are all lying to cover their asses. Unfortunately for Mr. Flores, they are well funded and will stick together like super glue on your fingers.

It is telling that a mere two hours after the allegations, the NFL came back and with a "completely unfounded" statement. How do you know they are untrue if you haven't investigated the claims?

Why do I get the 403 error for DU when

I have my VPN on? This just started happening.

TIA

At age 65, I never thought I would live in an America where

It can be criminal to teach history in classrooms.

The right to vote is being challenged.

Science is evil.

There was a attempted coup in the nations Capital.

Civil war is openly discussed at a viable option.

Children being shot is so commonplace that it's not even news.

The right to abortion would be "virtually" outlawed.

Fascism is openly celebrated.

The Supreme Court has been radicalized by the right.

We could very possibly lose our Democracy.

I Back Brandon!!

This morning I witnessed one of the best speeches of my 65 year lifetime. Bravo, to MY President, Joe Biden!!!

Can anyone point me to an EASY method of utilizing my own router with

ATT service. I really want to upgrade to a better wifi router BUT all the instructions seem so complicated. Help will be appreciated.

Just a curosity question about TFG

Why the HELL hasn't he been charged with tax evasion yet? You know he is guilty of this crime and it seems as though it would be one of the easier crimes to prosecute.
