Heather, Isn’t this the time to blast the airwaves with the real story about Gym Jordan? He is a right winger and a disgusting enabler of sexual abuse by a staff doctor “looking after” the wrestling team Gym coached! The kids testified! We know the truth, so why isn’t it out there in all caps???? Thank you, always, Heather. So much positive to be grateful for, but I had to mention this about Jordan....

He reminds me of Roland Freisler. That was the "judge" who sentenced Sophie Scholl and the White Rose to death in 1943. Watch the movie Sophie Scholl – The Final Days (2005) to get an idea of his courtroom demeanor. Jordan in a House committee acts the same way.

Thank you Clifford! In case I'm not the only one who didn't know this story:

Gym Jordan sweats all over the place. Can this be that he is afraid the case could be re-opened in Ohio? I believe he was an assistant coach of "The Ohio State" wrestling team. A friend who attended "The Ohio State" told me that that is how the university wishes to be known.

Also, many Republicans are complaining that Democratic Senator John Fetterman (PA) often doesn't dress like a penguin(my name for the suit and tie group). I wonder if the Democrats in the House of Representatives are upset that Gym Jordan is often seen sans tie and coat and with his shirt sleeves rolled up.

I learned in a book by NBC science reporter Jacob Ward that whether a news story rises into the "blast" zone is often determined by algorithms designed by advertising conglomerates seeking our eyeballs and clicks. While you and I think more people need to see this story, some AI mathematics score calculates otherwise.

Jordan's story, as well as Matt Gaetz's, have gotten enough play for us to see and be disgusted, they're still under the radar enough for others to ignore or discount them.

Here's the book. I listened to it via my library's streamed audiobook app.

Thank you, Lee. I’ll have a look at your link. I am in India and have no access to libraries online, Or anywhere, for that matter.....

If you have a library card and a smartphone, you can listen to audiobooks for free. It's been a revelation for me to have access to streamed books without the execrable Audible.

Some audiobooks....not all, for free, and often a wait time for popular books. I have Heather's new book on my iPod and it is great to hear her voice.
