Mandatory covid testing 3X a week for everyone!

Those with proof of vaccination being able to opt out. One way to get around the pesky problem of government mandates.
A health crisis requires testing and monitoring. For public safety of course.

Heard this great idea somewhere, wish I could give them credit.

What is it about Funko?

I live near thier world headquarters in Everett Wa. Often when I drive by there is a line around the block waiting for the doors to open.
Are these the new beanie babies? What makes them so desirable?

James Carville is speaking the hard truth

After reading a couple of threads on the outrage over James I went looking for where this started.
[link:http://vox.com| "wokeness is a problem and we all know it". April 27

He makes very good points on the differences of how the Republicans and Democrats frame an issue. How the dems hand the gop a sledgehammer to be used against us. This is about framing the argument in language of everyday voters. Voters we have to persuade.

Good analysis of the the article.

Please take the time to read both.

Is it time to boycott Fox advertisers?

Tucker Carlsons recently encouraged violence against mask wears, calling child protective services reporting child abuse and other beyond the pale statements.

In legal battles Fox has gotten away with the defense thats entertainment. Admitting in court that Carlson is a liar and can't be trusted or believed. And winning with that defense.

I'm of the opinion that boycotts rarely work.

But I think it is past time to start a letter writing campaign
to those who advertise on Fox. Not just those who advertise on the weasels show, but on all of fox programming.

Phone calls, online petitions and emails have no real impact. A well written statement gets attention. Letters have the most impact.
Writing a letter is a pain, crafting a coherent message is difficult.
Think of it as supporting the post office.

Carlson isn't going anywhere, but there needs to be consequences for his support of white supremacists and his recent statements on masks.

Ted Cruz may have finally gone too far

Not only did he abandon his constituents to fend for themselves, he left his dog in a freezing house.

Its one thing to ignore your voters, but anyone who mistreats animal's is definitely on most people's shit list.

New Years resolution was a sober January

After todays event I think we all need a drink.

Start again tomorrow. Last year has been a little stressful.
