He'll change his stance again if confirmed. Just like Vice President Trump changed his stance and pardoned/commuted all Jan 6 felons. Like Trumpy, like Kennedy. #BlockKennedy

Watching "The Day of the Jackal" from the 1970s. Such a great movie. A movie for thinkers, less those who want action, action, action, but it does have action too. ^^

After several days of colder than normal temperatures, we finally had a few hours above freezing. I did some winterizing that I should have done a few weeks ago; so that's finished. But now the wind is howling with 50+mph gusts and temp crashing back down into the teens. Ick.
