Sogo's JournalSo proud of the Texas Dem Legislators!
They are at the "tip of the spear," as Rachel just said in interviewing one of them, with a whole busload of them in the background. It's a very brave and determined effort they've undertaken. Them meeting with US Senators may be the only way to save our democracy, and they are doing it at great personal sacrifice. They have families, jobs, businesses, and this act is their priority.
The least we could do is establish a fund to support them....Could someone here more technically knowledgeable than I am establish a GoFundMe (or some such thing) for them?
So, I lied....
Today was the day when I finally could get a repairman scheduled for routine maintenance on one of my appliances. It's a fairly new unit, and I purchased an extended warranty on it, which comes with "tune ups."
I live in the corner of a state that borders another state that is major Trump country, and I had a feeling the service area might include a technician coming from that state who likely wouldn't be masked. I put out a mask for when he arrived and met him at the door wearing my mask. Sure enough, he had no mask, so I handed him the mask I had gotten out for him, and asked "if he didn't mind..." At the first hint of a scoffing look at the mask is when the lie kicked in....."Look, I said, I'm just recovering from an illness and have a compromised immune system, so it's rather important." Bingo. He put on the mask with no further hesitancy.
Now, I know you will all say, F him. It's your house; either he complies or you don't let him in. But the fact is that this is the service company that the appliance store contracts, I've already paid for that service with the extended warranty, and in a rural area there are no alternatives. And the fact is that he was very good at his job and explained a lot about how the appliance functioned, so that I won't have the same concerns in the future about it's performance. I'll for sure give feedback to the service company that their technicians should without hesitation comply with any customer's request concerning masks.
The old saying that "you pick your battles," applies here. As a single woman, let me say I feel that I won this particular battle....without confrontation. That's satisfying to me....Sometimes I'm just not up for confrontation....
The move by the AZ SOS is the absolute right thing: do not certify the equipment.
All the fraudit hoopla is likely just cover for the tampering of the election equipment, and this will be the tactic as these fraudits move across the country to the other swing states of AZ, PA, MI, and WI.....bring the circus to town and while the dog and pony show is going on, someone sneaks in the back door with the tampered equipment to set up the rigging of 2022, 2024, and beyond....
As suspected re Trump's move to FL:
Just reported on Rachel - Officials in FL are having meetings about FL not complying with extradition when Trump is indicted in NY.
I just left a message on Liz Cheney's DC office phone.
I tried to email on her official website, but it won't take any emails from non-constituents. So, I called and left a message telling them that I appreciate her principled stand for democracy against the idiotic radicalism that has now taken over the GOP. I said I'm a life-long Democrat, but have voted for a few Rs along the way (in local elections years ago; never any since they've become so radical). But I just wanted to let her know I support and appreciate her courage in speaking out.
No one here talking about the Chauvin juror who possibly has a conflict of interest....
that could throw the case into a new trial?

"Daddy changed the world."

Coal miners join climate activists to back Biden's $2 trillion infrastructure plan
This is great news. It should definitely bring Manchin around....

Does anyone know if the NY Gov. has pardon power for state crimes?
If so, I think we now know why they're going after Gov. Cuomo so hard (unless he's not running again in 2022).
Zeldin [major Trump loyalist], who voted to overturn the certification of electoral votes on January 6, will challenge New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in 2022. And given that all New York Primaries are scheduled for June 2022, Zeldin will likely have to give us his House seat to run his gubernatorial campaign.

Pfizer.2 in my arm.
Clinic was much less busy this time....
I commented to the person at the check-in desk that there weren't nearly as many cars in the parking lot as with the first dose. She said they had been coming in "waves." I hope that's right.
Barely felt the needle go in; feel nothing now 2.5 hours later, not even soreness in my arm. Hope that continues....
