  1. https://www.wnd.com/2024/03/biden-greenlights-another-10-billion-iran-report-says/ Why? Why empower people that hate you?
  2. We’re under severe weather watch. Spring is officially here. 68* Overcast.
  3. Presidents past and Present have always drawn attention to the innocents of tragedies, be they 1 person or hundreds. If they do nothing they’re callous. It’s a no win situation. I was in a prominent leadership position in a company. I was always on half of the employees bad side. You could bank on that.

  5. My cousin was Not a statistic, or data, to his parents, brothers, and extended family. I hope you never have to live with the impact of this. Ultimately, it shortened his mother’s life and ruined his father’s life. It’s hell for families in this position. Absolute hell.
  6. I’m curious as to opinions of who will run for President on the Republican side once Trumps out of the picture? DeSantis is a given, but who else?
  7. Say that when you’ve stood over a cousin in his grave as I did, dead through illegals committing crimes on both sides off the border. Go ahead and talk how smart you are on the reality of it all. Statistics be damned at that point, despite the fact I’m married to a Hispanic family. You folks aren’t steeped in the reality of it all everyday. They're quite critical of this whole situation. But don’t mind those living with it. Go on.
  8. It does to some degree but Dang! I’m sick of it!
  9. All these Jack Booted Thug comparisons is just downright ridiculous. I’m absolutely sick of all the extremist comparisons on both sides. It demonstrates a level of immaturity and/or simple antagonistic stupidity that is a large part of the national dialogue and our problem. People in general need to settle the ‘Fock’’ down and moderate both their speech and the attitudes toward one another. The national dialogue needs to “do unto others” a great deal more, frankly. I don’t believe some of the opinions expressed on this board but I do respect another’s right to think as they do. Culture, age, maturity (or lack thereof), or simple experience colors a persons opinions. 20-30 years from now some of you will think VERY differently. Ease up on the peddle, and the extreme comparisons. You might find common ground while still differing in opinion. Besides, most politicians are egotistical, opinionated, a$$holes (both parties), many corrupt and paid off by lobbyists. Let's face it. Those of us on this board have more in common than difference.
  10. John Kelly is no peach. Anyone not a hard nosed military man is so much poo under his shoe. I don’t recall one remotely pleasant comment uttered from his ugly mouth. So his opinion is caustic at best of any politician. The military and politicians are gasoline and matches.
  11. It IS happening. They're burning piles of bodies in the streets.
  12. The sun sent out a sizable flare this week. I guess it’s getting all excited about our upcoming total eclipse https://earthsky.org/sun/sun-news-activity-solar-flare-cme-aurora-updates/
  13. Not surprising. Many countries that have swung left find the social programs draining their coffers pretty fast. Too many in need and not enough payers. Portugal has a high number of retirees I understand from other nations. Gathering taxes to fund public coffers may be difficult. However, Portugal and Spain are beautiful, great people and food.
  14. Hoping for clear viewing. I’ve read 250,000-300,000 viewers are on their way to parts of Texas. I’ll be in my back yard. I’m in the total zone.
  15. A chilly 46 this morning. High expected at 62. No rain but Thursday brings a good chance.
  16. I’ve probably seen more national elections than anyone one this board. I can honestly say they always have a point when it gets nasty. It got nasty with JFK with commentators taking jabs at his uncontrolled personal life. On TV they had to watch what they said but some print material was in bad taste by the standards of the day. This is tame so far. But I’m waiting for the on camera rant as in a one on one interview. There’s plenty of material against both candidates. It isn’t necessary, as people aren’t deaf or blind They know what they’re dealing with. What’s sad is both sides have better potential candidates.They just aren’t “charismatic”.
  17. No, You’re right. It’s just as horrible over seas as closer to home. It would seem mankind has yet to learn its less costly in many terms to negotiate than to fight. I have no doubt that it won’t be solved in my lifetime.
  18. If I had it, it was symptom free. Both my husband and I had no symptoms and he works for the City. Not everyone showed symptoms so I can’t rule it out.
  19. Having received a good deal of slow rain last week we are better. It will take a good spring worth of rain to catch up. Thursday/Friday brings rain so we’re doing well on that possibility.
  20. On another “front”, there is absolute dire chaos in Haiti. Makes you count your blessings. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/haitians-shot-dead-in-street-and-there-s-no-one-to-take-the-corpses-away/ar-BB1jBkq4
  21. Hard to find a place for this. I’ll slip it in here. Texas Utility set off fire. Drought fueled wildfire. https://apnews.com/article/wildfires-texas-smokehouse-xcel-energy-22540df0a0c1d2c42a7fe0284858845a 7000 cows died. Fields ruined, equipment and buildings destroyed.
  22. He certainly wasn’t his usual demure self. Vitamin B shot?
  23. It wasn’t very good to Okla/Tx this time. Rainfall stunk until this week.
  24. State of the Union is a half hr late to start as I write. All the Dem ladies are wearing white. Looks like a nurses convention. Guess we’ll see if Pop-Pop sets the audience alight!! Maybe he’s grabbing that last ice cream cone.
  25. Big thunder boomers outside. Pouring. According to the radar we’ll have thunderstorms until about 11 pm. Sweet. This will be added to our 1 1/4” today. Love it!
