Poor lady. And Roger. As if they haven’t been through enough already.
It is way too early for all the fires we are having but it has been so dry and windy that I am not surprised.
Praying we get through this summer without having to evacuate.
I was just talking to a sister-in-law about how hard it was to get anything done in the house when our hubbies are home so I know what you mean and why you need to take advantage of the time he is gone.
Have a canning good time!
I’m watching The War Room and John Fredericks just said that Gov. Brian Kemp was booed off the stage at the GA Republican Convention this weekend.
The people of GA knows he was a big part of The Steal in GA.
The AUDIT is coming to GA.

6/7/21 Richard Citizen Journalist DC Update- “Training Exercise” in DC today!-Part One
Whhhaaaaaaa???? That’s unAmerican! LOL
When I was doing my local trucker training in Atlanta, we ate Waffle House 3 times a day-for two weeks!
This was not my idea. I still go to Waffle House on occasion.
Thanks, Maggie.
We were warned that this would be taking place and not to think it was something else.
Though I wish it actually was the military coming for the traitorous dims.
He indicated it might be a factor. And now the government says they owe 2.2 million in taxes.
Here’s What Democrats Say Cost Them House Seats in 2020
FTA:A new report compiled by several leftist organizations—and obtained by The New York Times—in the wake of Democrats’ underwhelming showing in 2020 congressional races shows Republicans were on the right track in down-ballot races while suggesting Democrats have a lot to learn to stay competitive in the 2022 midterms.
Democrats, experts and pollsters said, were sure to expand control over the U.S. House of Representatives. Come election night, Republicans flipped more than one dozen seats red while Democrats only managed to claim three wins for their side.
At more than 70 pages long, the postmortem report put together by Third Way, The Collective, and Latino Victory claims to “offer an honest and data-driven look at both what worked well for Democrats running for the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate and where the challenges our candidates experienced call for meaningful solutions before voters head back to the ballot box.”
Unsurprisingly, Democrat efforts to focus on identity politics and place people into buckets—rather than seeing Americans as individuals—backfired. “Our assumptions about Dem support among voters of color – and the lack of differentiation in our messaging and outreach with demographic groups – cost us support in key races,” the report notes.
The resulting tribal treatment saw an unexpected “drop-off in support among Latino and Hispanic voters” that “were the lynchpin in Democratic losses in races in FL, TX, and NM.” A similar “drop-off in AAPI support fueled losses in key races in CA, especially among Vietnamese and Filipino voters.
“Campaign messaging to these groups typically did not account for differing perceptions among gender, age groups, educational attainment, geography, or country of origin – and there was a dearth of message research on Black voters in particular,” reads the report.
Taking these groups for granted, Democrats “treated voters of color as a monolith – especially Latino voters” and targeted them with get out the vote messages, rather than persuasive messaging. That is, Democrats just assumed they needed to get minorities to the polls and they’d win, rather than needing to make a case that their platform was worthy of support.
As Leah reported, Republicans are taking note of the trends lamented by their opposition and looking to make the case for conservative leadership to the communities being ignored by Democrats.
The postmortem also noted that Republicans were successful in branding Democrats as “radicals” ahead of the 2020 election: “In the districts we looked at, those in which ‘law and order’ or ‘socialism’ was a continued drumbeat also saw a higher share of Latino/AAPI/Black voters who supported the GOP.”
Democrats’ all-consuming obsession with President Trump also cost them votes as their messaging focused heavily on attacking the 45th President and little on why Democrat governance was worthy of support. “Democrats focused on arguing that Trump was bad, not why a Democratic majority would help voters,” and “some campaign teams we spoke with felt that the Party didn’t have a message beyond ‘Donald Trump sucks.’”

I’ve been to Dennys and IHOP if that helps.
Bitcoin Slides After Trump Says “It’s A Scam... Wants Dollar As World Currency”
Amen!!
Makes me wonder if the stress of what was done to Roger triggered Nydia’s cancer.
Was just wondering the same :..(
Russia Mulls Ordering State Firms To Switch To Euro, “Preparing” For Possible Disconnect From SWIFT
On Monday a flurry of bombshell statements came out of Russia after at the end of last week Putin blasted the United States for using the dollar as a tool for waging “economic & political war” in an address before the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. Amid a tightening US and EU sanctions noose, most recently surrounding the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, Putin also suggested a more “acceptable” scenario of European nations paying for Russian gas in euros, amid what alarmingly appears a broader de-dollarization effort which includes Russia’s sovereign wealth fund deciding to dump all of its dollars and dollar-denominated assets in favor of those denominated in euros, yuan - or further buying precious metals like gold. “The euro is completely acceptable for us in terms of gas payments. This can be done, of course, and probably should be done,” Putin calmly said Thursday.
And now Russia’s Finance Minister has announced preparations for stimulus to move FX liquidity into euros while specifying it’s mulling ordering state companies to switch to euros, according to RIA news. Additionally, Moscow said it’s responding to calls for more sanctions by “preparing” for possible disconnect from international payment systems, namely SWIFT.
However, a mere couple hours later the Finance Ministry walked back some of the most provocative earlier official statements: “Russia will rely on economic means to encourage companies to shift from dollar to euro and doesn’t plan any restrictions on use of U.S. currency,” a follow-up report noted.
Identity politics is what they’re all about, doubt they can change.
I didn’t take into consideration that there might not be any in Texas. Other than Dallas, Houston, Austin and Amarillo, Texas doesn’t have any.
As much as I’ve traveled, you’d think I would remember that most restaurant chains are regional. Around here, Waffle House is as ubiquitous as Subway!
I don’t understand Bitcoin (and other cryptocurrency) so I stay away. Exchanging real money for virtual money seems too much like gambling. One could say the same for the dollar, but at least it has some history behind it.
I agree and don’t think the dims can change and walkaway from identity politics, too invested at this point.
When will they get WOKE to WOKISM is killing their party?
Sounds good to me.
Good afternoon Gran. We are at the Legion not the camp but we will be after the chicken BBQ this Saturday. Hoping to stay until July 9. Woohoo.
Wonderful! Hope that works out for you.
I seem to recall back during the election cycle, you could give a thumbs up or down on various ads; certainly not an option now! I might have dreamed that though....
