Jen, I always look forward to what I call the serenity photo as it always gives me peace and causes me to take a deep breath.

In another sphere, has there ever been an election in which so many "adherents" of one party have supported the candidate from the opposing party, as, thankfully, many Republicans are now supporting Harris?

The fact that they do, gives me hope and fills my heart with joy. Such a hopeful and joyfilled turn of events.

Hallelujah!

There have been several. Obama in 2008, Reagan in 1980, Carter in 1976, Nixon in 1972.

Good point Linda. Hopefully, voters realize how demented and hateful Trump is. And that JD could end up being President?

I have a question -- Does it bother anyone that JD told Kamala to "Go to Hell" for something she never did?

And like this beautiful picture, so much of life is made more meaningful in reflections and reflection.

Thank you Professor. It’s called peace. We all need to share it. Thank you for sharing yours. Peace and love always win in the end. Everybody have a good Labor Day weekend. Enjoy Fred’s family America and our democracy. And share it.

So incredibly peaceful. We need the reminder that regardless of politics, the sun doesn't care. Sol blesses us, regardless of our passions, with the eternal power that all of life feeds on. Thank you Buddy for the photo, and thank you for being the bedrock that Heather needs to do her incredible work.

Photos are always personal messages to me.

This one, when viewed with the imposition of the Bogwan of Feng Shui, reveals...at least to me...that while above and below may be gray...the position of "family health" (to me the health of humanity...is glowing and the day ends. Yes, you are correct, I am an optimist by nature. And, yes, because of the shining light (and one of my heroes despite the fact that I have never met her), I am hopeful about the future. May that shining light return in the morning!

I was there on a CAL DDay Cruise with few Vets onboard, had a great conversation with one 90+ man who was to sit in that front row of Veterans and remember the Orange man declining to attend and yes it was raining but the old Vets were there and the man with the bone spurs couldn’t make it.

Thanks to Buddy for sharing his beautiful view of the America we live in.

For those of us who can't get enough, here is our professor speaking a few days ago on Politics Girl:

Lynell hits it out of the park with another outstanding find! We can check it off our wish list that on 8/27/24, Leigh McGowan declared her "massive brain crush" and interviewed Heather Cox Richardson on her podcast! Thank you!

Thanks for this great interview, Lynell! It gave me a new idea of how to word my voter postcards.

Excellent, Jeff. It was just the other day I thought of you as the individual on LFAA who triggered 'we, the people, all of us'... and if memory serves, I inserted 'this time' to complete the phrase "We, the People, All of Us This Time!"

Enjoy your Labor Day holiday!
