The line up this week was just unwatchable. Sorry.

I, like you, am beginning to despise Asa Hutchinson, who desperately wants to be President. His whole anti-Trump mantra is making me crazy.

I will watch Maria later, even though she isn’t there today. I will see if Darryl Issa has any new comments to make. He reminds me of Trey Gowdy..all talk and no action, like most of the RINOs.

I am surprised Kevin McCarthy wasn’t on every show today. Guess he is twisting arms today.

I don’t have an answer for you... But I doubt they would allow such statistics to be tracked and correlated—at least from the inside.

I really don’t care what color or sex an ad actor is. But 13% of the population is not 50% as depicted. Laughs on them!

My solution, and I suggest it for all—don’t watch TV!

It has been quite entertaining watching all the diversity that is now an ad requirement.
I saw one for a shirt company that now has a new line for ladies. The “woman” they showed looked like a man dressed up in woman’s clothing.

Was that the “Lia Thomas” line?

I do not hold high hopes for this new Republican House.

All talk no action, as you say. I think we’ll see a lot of that—maybe ONLY that, this Congress.

If all they do is go after Hunter’s laptop, and not the real issues, we’ll know.

Real issues, IMHO:

1. The Border. #1 now!
2. The FBI’s—I dare call it—treason, at least criminal partisanism. Same for the Intelligence agencies (several I once belonged to).
3. Crime. Anti-crime isn’t racist. Not protecting victims, many who are minorities, is.
4. Spending is out of control. Address and fix it, not by just raising taxes and fees. Actually start cutting.
5. China is a real threat. Dump the Woke nonsense and work on actually improving our military. The ongoing war has shown there are all kinds of paradigms being broken and stood on their heads. Crash course adapt!

I suffer from bad migraines with aura.

This past year was a bad one for me with migraines about once a week.
I take two/three Ibuprofen at the FIRST sign of Aura as this helps mitigate the strength of the headache. It may help you as well.

Kevin Brady on Trump tax return release: ‘This is a dangerous new precedent’

Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) said on Sunday that the release of former President Trump’s tax returns during the years he ran and held office set a “dangerous new precedent.”

“This is a dangerous new precedent, it overturns 50 years of protections for American taxpayers that began in the Watergate era,” Brady said on “Fox News Sunday.”

Brady, who is a member of the House Ways and Means Committee which oversees the U.S. tax code, said the release shows that committee leaders have “nearly unlimited power to target private citizens.”

Brady, a former chairman of the committee who is one of several members leaving Congress this year, said such power could be used in the future to embarrass or destroy someone politically.

A lot of good wailing about this today, Kev. Tomorrow, you are GONE. Such a typically politician thing to do.

Who to believe? The mail-in ballot fiasco was a mess, for sure. But not everyone is a crook.

I have to avoid Ibuprofen due to kidney disease.

I get the migraines with the “scintillating scotoma”, blind spots that flicker and waver between light and dark. I couldn’t even read the computer or book. Sat in the dark, listening to music on my air Pods. Wonderful New Years Eve...

Colorado River source is improving. There’s too much demand on the Colorado from Vegas, Phoenix,

The latest news I have read regarding drought conditions in Nevada - Nevada is looking at a DESALINTAION plant in the Gulf of California in Mexico with a 200+ mile pipeline to Nevada for their Fresh water needs.

Something that L.A. has looked at but refuses to built for their water needs

I think we really need to identify likely conservatives out there, especially the ones, who, for whatever reason, don’t vote.

We need to have a sophisticated grass roots organization that harvests these ballots for them. Here in the South, for example, there’s plenty of nursing homes filled with older conservatives.

Nothing illegal, just confront the democrats with their own tactics.

2023 is going to be a tough year as the main engines of global growth - the United States, Europe and China - all experience weakening activity,

For those interested, this financial advisor's web page has some interesting charts. This one contains a comparison of the S&P today versus S&P in 2008

A typical Mega Rino whose district covered a portion of Houston and East.

No one but ourselves to blame, we dumb asses voting in small numbers during the primaries for these RINOs in every election where an incumbent R faces challengers.

Doing the same stupid thing and expecting diff. results and all that

That’s actually our desalt plans in AZ. We’re getting serious about Israel’s desalinization system. Funds are allocated for study. We’re negotiating with Mexico to share expensive costs/share in yield.

I’ve not heard of any Vegas desalt plans....that would be a 400 mile pipeline.
It’s almost 200 from Puerto Penasco to Phoenix. Vegas almost twice as far.

blind spots that flicker

I start with a small blind spot that turns into a "Hallo". Cannot do anything for 20-45 minutes until that passes.
The worst it ever gets is when the extremities start with a tingling sensation. The second is when the headache starts in the middle of the night.

One this I fear is that these may be a precursor to Alzheimers

Good morning Rod,

Getting rid of fraud at the ballot box is going to be difficult if we continue to use their rules to attempt to defeat their game. The fraud did and does not just happen. It has had decades of planning and streamlining, while perpetrators didn't get a second glance.

Trillions are at stake annually, and the power that goes with it.

They have ample motivation to continue to streamline and perfect the process.

The first rule in rehab is always to admit that there is a problem.

Until there are serious consequences for voter fraud, the benefit far, far, greatly outweighs any risk.

AZ. is also stepping up pressure on California to improve their water retention and reduce allotments. As we famously remember, they flush lots of water into the SF bay to save the delta smelt, while screwing the central valley ag. business.

They've also benefited from a generous allotment over the years, but populations in Vegas and Phoenix have added some weight to our bargaining position, all while peeps leave California. They've reversed positions on the Diablo Canyon nuke plant....maybe they'll yield on their desalt plant which was planned for the south coast, Newport Beach area, iirc.

Its becoming another "Chinatown" revisited.

What will happen if Katie Hobbs prevails? Would she deep six the project?

I know environmentalists (democrats-socialists) seem to hate desalination for why I don’t know. They’re essentially anti-human, so that maybe it.
