Good morning! It is suppose to be 70 today and the leaves are starting to change colors!

About the same here.  Time to test the heat and make sure it works.

"..The US is probably just one bad election away from becoming an autocratic dictatorship. Russia and China are already police states with one-party rule. India seems to be leaning hard in that direction. We're looking at the possibility of an imminent future where all the world's major economies are authoritarian states.

Imagine explaining to someone from the 1940s that our last best hopes for heading off planet-wide fascism are Germany and Japan.."

"..Extremely wild that an ex-president gave classified material about how closely US submarines can approach Russian submarines and the NYT won't put it on the front page and the FBI isn't no-knock raiding his house to arrest him and seize his phones, and remaining documents.

I used to work in national security. it is WILD for anyone, even a president to get kid gloves like this. WILD.."

"..Anyway, Jim Jordan for Speaker would solidify GOP brand:

Crime-riddled district Jordan refuses to help.
Overlooking sexual assault.
Helping Trump dodge accountability for his crimes.
Weaponizing government to serve crime.

Criminal protection racket as political party.."

Mark you spent a few posts extolling the complete waste of time that a border wall would be. Now that Biden is backing the restarting of the Texas border wall, has your opinion changed?
