Cranky old lady, who clings to the belief that this is a better place, when everyone does their best and everyone has what they need!

Of course the sandwich thrower was acquitted. The agent wore a BLT-proof vest.
The sandwich is the real hero of the story.

Texas is suing Tylenol for causing autism.
As frivolous lawsuits go, maybe we need to sue Donald Trump for rent payments, for all the time he is spending in our heads.
There isn’t enough Tylenol to remove that pain, and I’m too old to start worrying about autism!

Since Tyrantasaurus Rex is withholding congressional, constitutionally appropriated and budgeted project funding in Blue states, that send more in taxes to Washington than they get back, maybe it’s time for a “T” party.

Since the Blue and Purple states are being taxed by Tyrantasus Rex, by withholding funding projects, a small return for the greater taxes they send to Washington, and constitutionally appropriated by Congress, it might be time for a “T” party.

We know that Comey’s indictment is tRump’s revenge for the first term investigation, but irony of ironies, if he had not launched the Hillary email investigation just before the election, he might of avoided all this!

How does garnishing pay checks of those behind on student loans, help the economy? If these people aren’t making enough money to pay off their loans, they won’t be able to afford to spend on anything beyond food and housing.

The historian notes that Nixon began the attack on that remarkable America, because it rested control from the usual leadership of white men. Reagan cut taxes and began the move of money from the middle to the top. The audacity of the rich to rule unchecked is destroying what made America
great!

I chanced on a TED-type talk by a historian, who supported my observations that the prosperity after WWII, created a Middle Class able to buy homes, cars, travel, college education for their children. Their patriotism led to support of all civil rights and a better America. Who is that historian?

Another measles death!
Repeating what I said a month ago: all the raids on health & research programs will kill people here and abroad. tRump ran up the numbers with COVID; that’s still out there; with funding cut, bird flu is probable & no decision on having the next regular flu shot out in time.

Is the 3rd term brouhaha a distraction from the relentless attack on Social Security, or does tRump miss the adulation of the campaigning he did thro’ his first term?
Maybe, it’s time to suggest that his 2028 opponent will be Obama!

The NYT reports the dismantling of NIH is destroying American eminence in research. Is there no coalition of Foundations, philanthropy, universities, and corporations that could make the NIH independent of political and financial stress?

Thoughts & prayers to all in the southern states (from your docile representatives) as enduring another once in a lifetime snow, flood or tornado, you get screwed by your insurance companies & FEMA help that won’t be there. Cuts at NOAA, FEMA already taking their toll.

When the muskrats began to close vital agencies and cut off their allocations, the death count started on tRump’s second term. 400,000 died of COVID by January 20,2021. Now AIDS projects in Africa, & NIH cancer and bird flu research studies in the US have been disrupted. People will die needlessly!

On January 20, the country stepped into a caldron of warm water and each day’s craziness ups the temperature. Soon our democracy will be boiled to death, and we will have normalized it. I’m too old and have lived through too much to leave the world worse than when I got here!

The decision by the Supremes denying today’s sentencing in the hush money case is interesting. Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch & Kavanaugh, would have granted Trump’s request, but Roberts and Barrett joined to form the majority for denial.
Barrett & Roberts have made some decent choices recently.
