Staying Positive

 Some excellent ideas. Pick to enlarge.

Noem Plays Politics with Peoples Lives

 Imagine being one of the 50 National Guard members who are having their lives disrupted so Noem can make headlines?

US High Infrastructure Costs

 Too many law suits and Politics  

Now just imagine what we could do without people suing to protect bugs, birds, etc?

As the DEMs choose to argue over the details of the current proposal...

Vaccine Cowards

 This is an interesting graphic.

Climate Change & Heat Waves

How it works.  And the severe consequences in the SW USA.  It seems they are in for a hard Summer, likely water shortages, brown outs, fires, etc.

I have never understood how so many people think it makes sense to live in the desert and near desert parts of the country.  I wish them luck.

Government Debt Cliff

GOP Hypocrites Care about Debt again, after growing it at Record Rates while in Charge.

GOP Debt Fight Prep Memo

I assume the GOP voters will accept the sales pitch again, since they seem unable to swallow that Trump's Presidency was a DISASTER for the future of America...  And they seemed okay with it... :-(

Baptist vs Catholics

Both losing members due to their inflexible intolerant fundamentalist views.

Southern Baptist Convention

Catholic Biden Communion Silliness

The reality is that the majority of Americans support:

•  LGBTQ rights / equality, 
• a woman's right to use birth control and access an abortion per Roe v Wade,
• the treating of people seeking sanctuary in the USA as humans
• helping America's poor to escape poverty
• women are equal or superior to men and should be treated so
• etc 

However somehow America's Religious Right is stuck in the 1800's like the Taliban.

It is no wonder that people are leaving those religions at a rapid rate.  Thankfully my Lutheran ELCA church is much more open, tolerant and caring.

Putin False Equivalency

 Are Conservatives Buying It?

It seems Tucker Carlson possibly does...  And he goes even further...  

And this Republican idiot seems to go even further into the crazy. 

The Putin government hunts down Russian opponents and assassinates them where ever they live or travel.  Are Conservative conspiracy theory believers really crazy enough to let Putin manipulate them into believing that the US Government does the same?

600,000 and Climbing

 Given the low vaccination rates in some states it will be interesting see how things go... :-O

Take Charge MN

Take Charge MN

"This is off topic but I thought of you when I was introduced to a new organization called takechargemn.com. Their purpose is to help the black community and they seemed to have a similar philosophy as you on how this can be done. It was started by Kendall Quall.  Molly"

Molly, I love when folks give me new topics, especially when the news feed is slow. :-)

I agree with much of their concepts / mission, however their education statement is questionable at best..

"Over 50 percent of black students in Minneapolis public schools perform below state and national averages while black students from the same neighborhood that attend Ascension, Cristo Rey, and Hope Academy, private faith-based schools, perform above state and national averages of all students. These schools have waiting lists from desperate parents.  Government agencies should not hinder impoverished parents of their choice of schools when local public schools fail students academically. We believe that choice in education is a civil right.  Clear and concise options should be given to parents and students on the routes to prosperity through college education as well as certification via trade schools."

Why can't these idiots just be honest and consistent when writing statements?  Trying to compare schools where many of the parents do not prioritize learning to schools where they do drives me crazy.  It is like comparing North Mpls to Wayzata.

But stressing strong families is definitely Job 1...

Re-Install Trump? Really?

Who are these crazies?

"29% of Republicans say Trump will be reinstated in 2021.

17% of GOP voters say it's "very likely."

To be clear: there is no way Trump will be restored as president this year."

The local districts approved the results, the states approved the results, the Congress approved the results and the Court approved the results, and these nut cases somehow think anyone is going to let Trump anywhere near the White House? :-O

Manchin: Voice of Sanity

Progressive compare Manchin to McConnell

Manchin defends his opposition

It seems to me that The For the People Bill takes us too far away from State's rights to Federal mandates...  So I agree with Joe, the bill needs work...

Fauci Gate

What His Emails Tell Us

CNBC Fauci Emails

Fauci Conspiracies Politico

BBC Why Talking about Fauci

I thank God I do not have a bunch of people trying to second guess my emails from last year in an attempt to discredit me... And I am thankful I don't get as many emails each day as Fauci does... :-)

GOP Voter Suppression Update

 2 Kinds of GOP Bills

GOP wants to make Election Administration Political

Voting Statement of Concern

As a life long GOPer it saddens me that the GOP seems to want to make it harder for people to vote, rather than adjusting their platform to attract more voters...  Hopefully American citizens keep working to vote, no matter what stupidity is thrown at them.
