i've been enjoying it for a while and just realized i could comment and let you know that, and also let other folks who follow me know that they could ALSO be enjoying your offerings that are equal parts informative and entertaining.
i really like these thoughts you shared about Tim Walz:
"One of the reasons Harris selected Walz is because he's about as American heartland as you can get. Yes, he's extreme. Extremely American. He taught history, he doesn't try to rewrite it. He served in the National Guard for 24 years. He likes it when more people vote. He's pro democracy."
"While he's called Trump and Vance weird, he has long urged Dems not to do the same when it comes to how they describe their fellow Americans who may have different political, religious, or cultural leanings. As I've said many times, in this election I'm a one issue voter. That issue is Democracy. And when it comes to that, and several related issues, Tim Walz makes JD Vance look like JD Vance by comparison."
Walz also tweeted his dismay that Warren Zevon had not been selected for The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. (Zevon probably wouldn't care, but I admire Walz' Zevon appreciation.)
I am falling deeper in love with this man’s accomplishments by the minute. Beyoncé Day?! Purple signatures on official government documents?! I am like 😍😍😍 more and more.
You always are a good read, with good info and clever descriptions. Here's something for you to pass along. It's a movie on YouTube, from PBS, that was an eye opener. We know people are living paycheck to paycheck, but watching "TWO AMERICAN FAMILIES:1991-2024" gives it to you viscerally. Having never had to worry about money, it was gut punching to see people spending years not being able to catch up let alone get ahead, and I thought you'd like to know about it.
