@Daniel I suspect AIPAC is probably one of the reasons Ken Martin isn't releasing the report. This will hurt the party. There are way too many Democrats who want to see big money out of politics. Martin, as a fundraiser is obviously kissing a** to raise funds which will, in turn, require Democratic candidates to bend the knee to the moneyed interests sending in checks. This is no longer a viable approach for Democrats. I hear a lot of acquaintances saying they will no longer give to the DNC and prefer to send checks directly to the candidates themselves. I think this is a good idea. DNC money is as dirty as GOP money when it comes to politics and it steals politicians away from the average voter's interest. Not always, of course, but way too often.

Oh, and I decided to be a team player, sign the papers, and move on with life. I also reconciled with my cousin and SIL this morning. It's not a perfect world. My father certainly never said any such thing. It's time for me to move forward.

Always been a big fan of his.

Andy, I agree. You probably have the clothes to put in it. I'd buy their smaller duffel bag for mine if I hadn't reached my $ limit for leather products. I like this. I like it because it's a hardcase. I have no use for it at all. https://timeresistance.com/products/leather-attache-case-briefcase-a-legacy (Black.)

Love it!

This country was founded on Enlightenment principles. But good luck arguing with a Christian nationalist. Smashing your head against a concrete wall would be a better use of your time. They believe in a metaphysical power, as the professor said, and they also believe that their point of view constitutes absolute truth. They are theocratic and their metaphysical views contain some very strange ideas. All of this would be fine, if they understood that their religious beliefs were their private concern. But, no. They feel perfectly justified in trying to create a world in which an apocalypse would happen. I live in a Evangelical Christian neighborhood. Let's just say that hell will freeze over before I'll be inviting any of them to my home. I guess I'm beyond the culture shock, and there are good and bad people in any group, but, in general, what I have encountered is appalling to me. YMMV.

Well, into every life a little rain must fall. Pilots do an amazing job, every day. They're awesome. My guess is that they'll handle this like the professionals we know then to be. Pilots? Respect!

Welcome to the club.

It will be a report. I'm all for that. I'm afraid it will affect nothing, though.

I know!

"Having your own voice" is overrated when all you do is playing cover.

You are way ahead of us, wtg. We are at the daffodil stage. [image: 1777584615875-4302.jpg] [image: 1777584624164-4303.jpg] [image: 1777584637880-4304.jpg]

I should not play anything that loud. I might be tarred and feathered.
