The US voted with Russia, Iran and North Korea (among others) at the UN yesterday. Republicans don't seem to be invoking the name of Ronald Reagan anymore. Hmmmmmmm....

Donold says he’s standing up for persecuted Christians…unless they’re Catholic bishops pleading for mercy, then they’re ‘radical leftists.’

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

If Elon was actually looking for fraud, he'd be hiring forensic accountants—not a bunch of programmers. ....and I'm a programmer. (Ok, I also have an accounting background)

Prediction: We're not taking over Gaza. What Trump is doing is making the media spin in circles while more of his and Musk's minions loot the government.

If, 4 years ago, you would have told me that Elon Musk would be doing Putin's work, I wouldn't have believed you.

Guide to TrumpSpeak: "Did you know" -> "I just found out" "People are saying" -> "I'm making this up" "We'll see what happens" -> "I have no idea what's happening" "Fake news" -> "This info makes me look bad" "Believe me" -> "I'm lying"

Hey Caitlyn Jenner? How do you feel about supporting the guy who just signed an Executive Order declaring that you are now back to being "Bruce"?

Just a simple powerwalk to get the bones going again. Need to start doing more as I haven’t done much lately.

Business trip to Florida. Pre-dawn. Depending on the Chase Sapphire Lounge for breakfast. It’s closed for 10 days so they’re giving out snack boxes instead.

I wonder if New Hampshire could be South Quebec... I like the idea of my taxes going to healthcare, education, housing, day care and, you know, THE PEOPLE.

You don't need to make stuff up to dig at Elon Musk. He's not a "daddy's boy". Errol Musk is not who you think he is - he's a reprehensible, abusive, disgusting pig of a man - ask any member of that family. There's a reason they fled to Canada. South Africa has NOTHING to do with Musk's wealth.

Intervals were just a suggestion. Went the entire last mile without a walk break. Chilly and windy after Florida but it’s all good! One more race for the year. Can’t believe it’s already time to start signing up for next year!

I have a couple of Vizios around the house that I use as computer monitors. Although I knew this was coming, this absolutely closes the door on me ever buying a Vizio again or even accepting one as a gift. gizmodo.com/walmart-buys...

Just a powerwalk to get moving again and fight off the gloom that’s been getting around the last few days. After this workout, I have about 10K or so to get in before the next two races which SHOULD have me finishing my Megameter Challenge during Space Coast on December 1st.

For a Party that supposed to be all about small government, individual freedoms and "law and order", the Republicans seem INCREDIBLY concerned about genitalia. You know, like how a rapist, molester or other abuser would be....

6 years ago, I wrote up a Contract For Americans, getting the idea from the "Contract For America" that the GOP did in the 1990s and in 2022 I updated it. Here's that post on my blog from 2 years ago with my updated ideas on what I thought this country could use. granitevoter.blog/2022/08/10/a...
