After reading LFAA for about a year and not-quite-half, I have really learned a lot. Even more, I've realized how much I never really learned, from school history/economics classes to extra scholastic study. I feel like there is a part of me trying to cram information into my decreasingly neuroplastic mind, while it stands there in disbelief looking at where our nation has arrived today.

To have a politician stand there and say "Yay, inflation!! That will help us defeat the nasty Democratic Party" ( a paraphrase, to be sure, but one oft repeated) AND to take credit for a popular plan that they personally voted against is horrifying. To watch what used to be journalism morph into whatever the hell it has become today is also horrifying.

It is overwhelmingly important that we pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and end the actions of the Republiscum party that is doing its dastardly best to insure that we are guaranteed minority autocratic rule and demolishing our democracy.

Thank you Heather.

Regardless of any good figures that are being reported, they will be countered as ammunition for the GOP to be thrown back as red meat to the cult. The GOP is no longer a Party, but a cult.

As I waited to have a COVID-19 test done yesterday morning, I listened to a trumper dispel any good that Biden has done with a learned diatribe of lies. Completely unsubstantiated bullshit.

When I had had enough of his crap, I said "wait a minute, you look familiar. Did I see you in the video of the January 6th Insurrection when you broke inside the Capitol and peed on the wall?". The waiting area erupted with

" You filthy bastard". " How dare you do that to our Capitol". "You should be arrested" and so on.

Did I see him in a video, no. I've never seen him before in my life. It did however, show how quickly you can shut up and turn the tables on a crazy trumper. He may think twice about being the crazy oracle when you have a captive audience.

Not unexpected, but I see the GOP members who didn't vote for but will take all of the credit for the Infrastructure Bill are surfacing.

Keep in mind, these are the same people who continue to stomp down any discussion of Voter Rights.

Be safe. Be well.
