Meidas Touch – Border “crisis” fake
Armageddon Update – Nothing we all don’t know, but his style is – what it is.
Ring of Fire – I don’t think this was a recent decision on the part of Sen. Whitehouse. I think what’s recent is a DOJ he feels he can trust.

The Damage Report – I personally would be more enthusiastic about Election Day being a holiday if there were so much as ONE holiday that still signifies the original intent of making it a holiday in the first place. As it is, I do not think that is the way to go.

These sea turtles were rescued from the ocean off of Texas when the temperatures dropped below freezing (Imagine living in water which then freezes around you.) They were treated for hypothermia and eventually released- with playground equipment. The video only shows a few (and no words, just a chuckle at one point.)

A Big Oil exec told me I had a “misconception” about a special tax break polluters get that other businesses don’t.
So, after explaining the deduction to him, I offered to write it out of the tax code if that what he wants. Just let me know! pic.twitter.com/ML25PMnrg5

Robert Reich – I would be remiss not to quote a comment on this: “BTW – Reich refers to LBJ using the “Bully Pulpit” to pass the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Dems had near 2/3 majorities in both houses at the time that overcame the objections of Southern Democrats and conservative Republicans like Barry Goldwater. And the 60-vote threshold in the Senate wasn’t in effect like it is today.”
Beau on a bold move by the Biden administration
It’s a very tired day here in the CatBox. WWWendy and I finished our chores last night, and it should be fairly calm until Thursday. With both a shower aide and grocery delivery day, I’ll be spending a lot of time in my chair that day. I’m not looking forward to it. Tuesday is a Flush you Republicans Day, but so far, I haven’t had any to flush. Have a great day!

Short Takes:
From NY Times: One sunny day last spring, Bridgette Craighead was dancing the Electric Slide with three police officers in the grass next to the farmers’ market. It was the first Black Lives Matter protest this rural Virginia county had ever had, and Ms. Craighead, a 29-year-old hairdresser, had organized it.
She had not known what to expect. But when the officers arrived, they were friendly. They held her signs high, and stood next to her, smiling. Later an officer brought pizzas and McDonald’s Happy Meals. They even politely ignored her cousin’s expired license plate.
This, she thought, was the best of America. Police officers and Black Lives Matter activists laughing and dancing together. They were proving that, in some small way, their Southern county with its painful past was changing. They had gotten beyond the racist ways of older people. This made her feel proud. In a photograph from that day, Sgt. Thomas Robertson is smiling, and Ms. Craighead is standing behind him, her face tilted toward the sun and her fist held high.
She did not see the officers around Rocky Mount much after that. But in early January, someone sent her a photograph. It showed Officer Jacob Fracker and Sergeant Robertson posing inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, the day the building was stormed by Donald J. Trump’s most fervent supporters.
At first, she did not believe it. Not her officers. But there they were, Officer Fracker giving the camera his middle finger. She confronted them on Facebook and they did not deny it. On the contrary, they were proud.

I’m still exhausted, but things are moving ahead. I have my formal intake interview with Providence Home Hospice tomorrow. They will come here to meet with Wendy and I, evaluate my needs, and set up a plan to meet them. So I’ll know more soon, but in the meantime, I have a lot of records to collect.
Yesterday Nameless suggested that I should learn about deep breathing for stress management. Rather than leave that in comments, I want to move that up to front street. Not only am I familiar with deep breathing for stress management, I’ve been teaching it to my my guys as part of my prison volunteer work for over twenty years. I am especially thankful to Nameless for bringing it up, because the stress came on me so fast that I completely forgot to use the technique myself. Now I am using it and it is helping. Thank you, good friend!
Now, I need a nap. TGIF!
