Agreed. Is Orson Card the LDS bloke? Not a fan of their theology but he writes decent Sci Fi books.

And what would the horrified MSM do when they couldn’t hear us do it, but they KNEW we were doing it? And then we could all yell Fake News!

I do have some web sites linked on my profile page, but not on this subject. You are right, it would be worthwhile while details are still in my mind.
Ryan was a congresscritter but not a well known one. The Donald was a pundit but no one took him seriously politically. They both were involved in tea party, right?
Have you ever seen any quality for-edge painting books? Some have 2 paintings. One is seen when the pages are slightly fanned one direction and the other shows when the pages are fanned the other direction.
Ill take every piece of comfort I can get, as I know nothing on the topic.___________________________
The time to accept/Reject the election outcome for President was dealt with during the Electoral College voting. When the vote was accepted and ratified by the Congress, the only body on earth with the responsibility and authority over the certification of federal elections in America ratified the Electoral College vote.
There is a process in the constitution for objections, there were none presented. CASE CLOSED!
To Whom it may concern (derps this means you too!) DJT is the POTUS!
MAGA! WINNING BIGLY! The Trump train is a coming on Tuesday! The Vertically Challenged Female Gender will sing Bigly! WWG1WGA!
Such sweet talk, it’s why all the girls you’ve asked ...love you anyway :-)
I’m listening to Lord of the Rings again now, so thank you for the reminder of your Tolkien dictionary. Serendipity.

I'll have to join the food slide another time. I was into Dickens and Michener myself as early as middle school. Certainly wouldn't have been able to read them at that age under certain school reading programs now. How dare I read books beyond my grade level. Definitely getting off and getting some sleep now.
Perhaps their attitude is tarnished because they just discovered they’ve been eating real horse’s ovaries.
Agreed.
I think so. But I’m not as concerned about the authors theology as I am the theology presented in the novels.
Any Rand was not a Christian, but fountainhead and atlas shrugged were magnificent!
I remember the Donald went on t.v. interviews, but not really about politics. They would ask him political question sometimes and if he ever thought of running for President. But I always thought of him as a celebrity or millionaire/playboy Bruce Wayne kinda guy, not a pundit.
And he was never afraid of waxing political.
But I totally don't remember him being involved in the Tea Party. Unless I missed that, which is possible.

>>I was into Dickens
I do hope you saw the Dr Who episode where the Doctor goes back in time to meet Dickens and gets to tell him he’s a fan.
Oh my gosh! Did you get grounded for the high offense of sneaking off and going into your closet with A LIGHT BULB THAT USES ELECTRICITY AND WE ARE NOT RICH!! and a book? My mom was always busting me for that, and her mother, my grandma was like that too.
Grandma lived on a dairy farm with Gramps and 3 sons (other 3 kids were allowed to get married, lol! Grandma was BOSS). so, at the farm, you get up before the sun, go to bed right about sunset in the summer, and in between, I had to work. Mostly in the house. I hated that! Grandma had a thing about girls being in the barn milking the cows (huge dairy farm). She always wanted me right at her elbow cos I was fast and good at hiding. My uncles wouldn't cover for me, cos she would ream them good if she found out they let me drive tractor during hay season or shovel sileage at feeding time.
After many summer week-long stints at the farm, I finally figured it out. Grandma would freak if she found me hiding under my bed reading. So...of course the uncles had taught me to saddle the horse on my own. So, I'd sneak a book under my shirt, sneak out to the pig barn where the horse lived, saddle up and head for the east pasture, right down by the willow tree. GRANDMA COULDN'T SEE THAT FAR FROM THE KITCHEN WINDOW OR THE BACK PORCH!
Then I'd sit there and read. I got away with it alot, and get a ride in also and thought I was fooling the old dear. Nope, no way. Turns out all the neighbors (4 other farms on the country block) would call Grandma and report my process across their fields!
As a result of my fight for my right to be a bookworm, no one ever checked what I was reading. Other Grandma knew I liked to read in first grade. She gave me a copy of "5 Little Peppers" and told me if I could read it and give a good book report, she'd always buy me books for birthday and Christmas. I did, and she did. She gave me the classics (Little Women in 2nd grade). But the library ladies never commented on my choices. As a result...
I read "Valley of the Dolls" in 4th grade, kept looking for the part about the dolls. Did read the whole book, that was a rule. Total Waste!
Read Erica Jong's "Fear of Flying" in the 6th grade...Good Grandma was going to fly me from my town to hers, and I hadn't flown before, so I didn't know if I was afraid of flying or not. Just in case, I got a book about what to do if you're afraid of flying...Lol! That book I retained very much from.
Did you know that voracious readers also become story tellers?
