3BB down, anyone else? (3 Sep 23)
Any time something like this happens, the little paranoid voice in my head says the powers that be are mucking about, fiddling with nationwide access/control.

State election officials prepare for efforts to disqualify Trump under 14th Amendment
Not technically insurrection, rather giving aid to an attack on the government which he did through action and INACTION. This could easily be proved. Even his daughter was practically begging him to put the word out to stop.

This really will be a test of the legal system. Don't have laws if you aren't going to apply them to ONE AND ALL!

Rudy Giuliani pleads not guilty to Georgia election racketeering charges
What a rotten shame! This man was on top of the world with how he managed the 9/11 attack. Goes to show, you hitch your wagon to a turd, you're gonna get poop on you. Once he's convicted (yadda yadda yadda, "innocent 'til proven guilty," the man is guilty and we all know it), he will spend the rest of his days in jail, and there's no coming back from that for him.

Trump trial in Fulton County will be televised, judge says
What a very sad comment but not unexpected from you. I believe this is the very definition of trolling. If I gave two poops, I'd report it, but I think it's better as a testament to the quality of the person behind that gray curtain of internet anonymity.

Naaaaah, that's Fox NOT-news tripe. He's going down little by little in the polls. Nikki Haley put it so succinctly when she said "the GOP party can’t win a general election with Donald Trump as the nominee." Ya boyz goin' DOWN!

Trump trial in Fulton County will be televised, judge says
The REAL question - will 45 supporters continue to deny even though the facts are laid out in real time living color? Will the Sean Hannity's or Tucker Carlsons of the world cut and past the videos to contradict what is actually going on? I was surprised and hold on to hope when I saw the Repubs publicly admonish Tucker's bogus rendition of the Jan 6 footage he received from that spineless Speaker. Time will tell.

More than 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Here's what researchers say is to blame.
Not stupidity. The FIRST thing that happens to a young person as soon as they turn 18 - they are bombarded with credit card offers: Sure! Borrow $5000 (fine print: 27% interest over 5 years). Monthly payment will only be $150 and LOOK AT ALL THE COOL STUFF you can get. Young people look at that as free money. Then it dawns on them, they can get ANOTHER credit card, THIS time $10,000! And the cycle continues, they are now enslaved to the banks, living paycheck to paycheck. On top of that, it's near impossible to get a decent job without a degree. When most of us duffers were growing up, you could work a part time job and still afford getting a degree while sharing an apartment with 2 or 3 others, living on Ramen noodles, but you got a degree without this huge debt looming upon graduation. This game got rigged years ago and young people today have basically surrendered to a hopeless future. YOLO is a way of life for the majority. Paycheck to paycheck is the norm.

Trump tells Glenn Beck he’d ‘lock up’ political opponents if reelected
I've was saying that in the middle of Joe's first term when it became painfully obvious he was NOT getting any replacements ready. Sure, he's done great things - FINALLY broke the absolute choke hold Big Pharma had as his latest accomplishment - but DAMN he's looking more and more like a doddering old fool. When - NOT if - the initial debate 'tween the tangerine traffic cone of treason and good ol' Sleepy Joe goes down, the former president is gonna take him to the woodshed for a major butt whuppin. 45 may be stupid and evil to the core, but he knows how to please the rubes when he's in front of a camera. If I were Biden's campaign manager, I'd find any way possible to ensure no debates. Maybe, say they've already done them and there's no sense in rehashing that scenario.

Ground Coffee Recommendations?
I've tried pretty much all of them and have settled on the Makro house blend #1. The #2 blend says it adds caramel (or some other nonsense?). With a drip machine you can add as much or as few grounds as desired.

How important is a routine for you
I live for routine, and it's a healthy one. Same time to bed +/- 5 minutes, get up at oh-dark-thirty, do class prep for the day then the next week, then eat the same basic healthy meal, shower, and off to teaching I go. After work, sit for an hour to relax, then go back to class prep for the next week, make the same healthy dinner/lunch for the next day, and off to bed +/- 5 minutes. I believe without this routine I'd already be pushing up daisies.

Should I pay cash or use my American visa card at a large store or hospital?
I use a Wells Fargo Active Cash visa. No forex, 2% back on all purchases, and they offer free protection for purchases that are scams.

I've studied more than 5,000 near death experiences. My research has convinced me without a doubt that there's life after death.
Only if you go to the bad place.

Trump surrenders for historic fourth arrest
To call it "the fascist Biden regime" exhibits total lack of being able to present a cogent argument. These are Fox NOT-news sound bites, dripping with venomous vitriol. This is why we can't have nice things.
