β€’ The Republican party in 2023:
- Slavery? Learn great job skills in servitude!
- Child Labor? Yup.
- Pro-life? No. Just anti-abortion. War, capital punishment, you bet!
- Ban Books? Sure. Because freedom of speech.
- Affirmative action? No. Alumni and wealthy donor admissions? You're in!

- Tax cuts for the 1%? Definitely.
- Climate change/pollution? Less regulations! It's all a hoax.

In today's remarkable right-wing self-own, crazy, COVID-minimizing, MAGA Laura Loomer admits to having Long #COVID19 without realizing it.

From "Time Enough for Love" by Robert A. Heinlein

Quoting the protagonist Lazarus Long:

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, and die gallantly.

Specialization is for insects."

Certainly a feast for the senses on the trails here in PA; through evergreen trees and an upheaval of rock dating to The Cambrian Period some half a billion years agoβ€”250 million years before even dinosaurs roamed these parts (which they certainly did). 200ft above a winding river gives one a primordial sense of when life on Earth was new. You can leave the concrete, roads, and shopping malls behind and get out there. You might not want to come back.

John Durham Owes the American People an Apology for Wasting Their Money

Four years and millions of taxpayer dollars later, Durham’s report just validated the FBI’s opening of the Russia probe. The special counsel, not the FBI, should say sorry.
