I too can only agree with this. I wake to read that a group of Republicans under McCarthy are traveling to the border to save us from an invasion.

I too can only agree with this. I wake to read that a group of Republicans under McCarthy are traveling to the border to save us from an invasion. It revives all the anxiety and outrage of 16 to 20, the self-serving proposals to “save” our country, the total lack of humanity, the gross self-interest, and lack of “leadership”, an empty gesture. I would praise them if I felt they were truly going to “learn” something, but they are going with a mind-set, already closed to learning and will only see what they want to see. I said it once before, but it comes to mind again: “No Man is an Island”. Our world has “shrunk”, the pressures of population and politics increases and will continue to do so. We have to be willing to “open up” our minds. “Right” does not come in a package delivered by the welcome wagon lady. I am so grateful for this community. I think I’ll get off my soap-box and drink my coffee before I fall off the planet.
Mary, You absolutely described the tossing and turning of our socio-political lives, and. what's more, you ended with a phrase that made me laugh: 'before I fall off the planet.' Laugh, deeply!

Yes, Fern, really good to laugh!!! When I am too depressed by the news I watch old Carol Burnett shows, or Tracey Ullman, to shake up the neurons.
Thank you, Mary, for those neurological recommendations!
Yes we all should do whatever it takes to have at least one good belly laugh per day.
Absolutely!! We must hold on to our senses of humor :-)
Perhaps they will read Green Eggs and Ham to them. Making a mockery of our government seems to be the only thing they are capable of.
