Oh please it was a total capitulation. It was a worthless effort for everything we got. Once again, Democrats demonstrate their wonderful ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Total capitulation. Nice work. What was the purpose if nothing was achieved? Oh, a "promise". I have a bridge for sale; that's what the promise is worth.

Even though NaNoWriMo as an organization is gone (sad to say), my Extension class continues on. Still room if you've ever been contemplating writing a novel.

I suppose it's not cricket, but a body cam and post the footage might produce some honesty. Just spitballing here.

Are you here for the book festival or just visiting? Don't forget Bergamot Station. Some great art galleries there. Also, Montana Avenue and Main Street are worth visiting.

The crisis started much earlier when the SC permitted the felon to even run for president in contravention of the 14th amendment, though I hardly have to tell you that. What now? How can he be stopped? Who will stop him?

What has DOGI (department of government inefficiency) done today? Or are we all focused on the imminent market meltdown?

One thing that continues to astonish about the behaviors of anyone in the felon's orbit: he never ever reciprocates loyalty and anyone thinking he might is a fool.
