WV spending $100K to keep national parks open during federal government shutdown • West Virginia Watch West Virginia will donate $100,000 to the National Park Service to keep the state’s national parks open amid the federal government shutdown.

Folks that are unfit for office because they are bad people that do bad things do not magically become fit for office because they say magic buzzwords that tickle your ideological priors or further your political goals.

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

It’s interesting how many of Paul Thomas Anderson’s movies are about how hard it is to find or be a solid father figure in a toxic culture.

Scratched up some mushroom cream sauce, did up some carrots & beans, roasted and seered off a prok tenderloin and served it up

Veteran Violence Once Again Trending It started out lighthearted enough, but this segment with Joe Catenacci on his Myrtle Beach, SC radio show turned into one of the most personal ones I've ever done

West Virginia treasurer calls for special session to eliminate taxes on tips, overtime • West Virginia Watch State Treasurer Larry Pack on Tuesday called on Gov. Patrick Morrisey and state lawmakers to eliminate the state’s tax on overtime and tips.

There is coordinated movement going on here to maneuver Gov Morrisey into some tough political spots over the coming budget issues between now and 2028.

Picking fights right off the bat within his own party with a tenuous coalition is starting to show

Government shutdown begins after federal funding expires The lapse in finances means crucial government functions will halt until lawmakers approve more money.

Again, for the folks in the back from Addison, there is a government shutdown because the all the parties involved think it will help them politically to have a shutdown. Someone is going to be wrong www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

"All media everywhere must validate all of me all the time" is no way to live folks...
