State Of Malaria

Florida’s stubborn, domineering leader appointed a science-denier as the state’s surgeon general. Now, Florida has a malaria outbreak. “Get ready for more plagues,” said Yahweh.

Two Phases To Every Project

There are two phases to every project, the time when you’re working on it, and the time when you aren’t.

What Have You Got To Lose?

In 2016, DJT tried to convince African Americans to vote for him by asking, “What have you got to lose?” We now know the answer: affirmative action and bodily autonomy. Plus he demonized the Black Lives Matter movement at every opportunity.

Legacy

Boris Johnson

F**ked the UK

Donald Trump

F**ked the USA

The legacy

Of their treachery

Will cause trouble

For a century

And Vlad

Is glad

That he had

A hand

In electing

These two cads

What’s The Password?

“What’s the password to the top secret server?”

“That’s classified.”

“Does that mean that you won’t tell me?”

“No, it means that we keep it in the bathroom.”

Don’t Wait

If a goal is important to you, don't wait to get started. Don't wait for the right time. The right time is as soon as possible. When people take on a project that they love, they always wish that they had started sooner.

Don't wait until you have the right resources. Start with what's available to you today, even if it seems inadequate. Working with limited resources will inspire you to be skillful and creative.

Don't wait until you have more training. The best training is what happens when you work passionately and diligently toward an objective.

Don't wait until you're finished with school. Don't wait until you move to the city. Don't wait until the kids grow up. Don't wait until you retire. All of those things will happen, and when they do, you'll get busy with other things. At some point, you need to resolve to move forward, or you'll always be dreaming of the future.

Most importantly, don't wait until you "have more time." That's a convenient illusion. You'll never have more time than you do right now. 24-hour days are not going to get any longer, and as you age and take on greater responsibility, your ability to use those hours will become more limited.

Act now, today, this week, this year. If you want something to happen, find a way to work it into your schedule, and get yourself moving. No excuses.

Weekend Wish

It’s time to toss your troubles into the bin. Don’t trash your weekend with garbage thinking. Keep a litter bag nearby in case any rubbish crosses your mind. Refuse to let waste drag you down in the dumps.

The Independent Power Of Words

Words have their own power. Their meaning can stray from the intentions of an author or speaker. If you have been misunderstood, clarify your message.

Late-Term Abortion

Late-term abortion is not an elective procedure to terminate a healthy pregnancy. Late-term abortion is an emergency procedure used to treat miscarriages and other catastrophic pregnancy events where the fetus is not viable and the health of the mother is in grave danger. Banning such procedures puts women’s lives at risk. People who do not understand those risks should not be involved in the decision making process.

Debt Ceiling Showdown

Congress is not going to increase the debt ceiling without concessions. That ship has sailed. Wall Street and the Chamber of Commerce can yell until they’re blue in the face. The party of chaos doesn’t care.

McTurtle smells blood in the water. He had to, or he wouldn’t have aligned himself with Charlie McCarthy. Together, they’re betting that Biden will cave to their whims, or the default will damage Biden more than it hurts Republicans.

Biden’s approval rating is pathetic. Astonishingly, he trails trump on a number of them. I don’t believe that the polls are accurate (the Wisconsin supreme court race was supposed to be a dead heat, but the Progressive won handily) but it’s troubling to see Joe so poorly regarded when compared to the most dangerous politician in our nation’s history.

On the other hand, Biden caving is a nonstarter. The McCarthy plan would hurt veterans, working families, air traffic controllers, and it would gut much of the progress that Biden made in his first two years.

Biden is left with two miserable choices: cave to the McCarthy mob or pull a rabbit out of his hat. There’s some talk that he could justify executive action under the Fourteenth Amendment, but that seems like the kind of theoretical parlor game that a Democrat wouldn’t have the chutzpah to pull off, and it would probably be struck down by the corrupt Clarence Thomas court.

Yes, I am concerned. If the US defaults, it will trigger a global financial catastrophe. Runs on banks will accelerate, millions of Americans will lose their jobs, and the US dollar will no longer be the most valued currency on the planet. We have three weeks to sort it out.
