Just a guess but I think things start to go bad if and when you get to a point where people are afraid to tell you No.

Yup...the "yes men" syndrome. It's the bubble. I live in the Boulder bubble...but I recognize and see it. Wonderful county to live in...all very Liberal. We respect each other...there is a peace with that, but honestly, traveling between California and New York, I haven't seen a disconnect. I need to go South...

“For the first time, the US is proposing the word ceasefire. … That is significant because Israel did not want the word ceasefire in any resolution, and now it is the US which is proposing it,” Bays said.

I expect Israel to ignore this, if it passes.."

"The film 2000 Mules made sensational claims: widespread election fraud had swung the 2020 election for Joe Biden. But lawyers defending the filmmakers have admitted in an Atlanta courtroom they didn’t have any evidence for these charges.

The admission came last December but wasn’t reported until Wednesday by the Atlanta Journal Constitution and Associated Press."

Trouble is, that lie is already stuck in millions of heads.

"..The voters of Wisconsin flipped their Supreme Court to better reflect their will last year. That Supreme Court struck down gerrymandered maps. Of course, Republicans wanted to keep their unfair advantage.

Governor Evers worked out new, fairer maps that are now going into effect. Voters’ voices will count more.

Elections matter and who you vote for does, too. #ElectDemocrats

Evers signs new maps into law, effectively ending Wisconsin redistricting lawsuit - WPR .."

One of life's greatest jokes is that my parents were worried about what video games were doing to me, when they should have been much more concerned about what cable news was doing to their brains.."

I will be in Buffalo, NY for the eclipse. Paying $500 a night for a hotel for 3 nights, a hotel that normally goes for $200 a night. Getting to Buffalo on Sunday, eclipse is on Monday. Niagara Falls (Canadian side) on Tuesday and flying out on Wednesday. This is all priceless because my daughter, son in law and two Grandchildren will be there with me. Bucket list stuff...

Well, that's cool!     

Noticed the other day that something out side the TV room is holding water and projecting the sun into the room. Ready made eclipse viewer!

Tucker Carlson reporting on grocery stores in Russia! Low prices and plentiful food!!! WHAT???? Not true! My best friend (known since I was 3) has a son married to a Russian lady and they have 3 year old twins together. I have mentioned him before - she can be here for 3 months and then travels back, he has not been there since the Ukraine War started. Being in the US, his Russian wife is more attuned w/Alexei Navalny as are most younger Russians. They're both around 35ish. Maybe it's a matter of just surviving Putin.
