My brother, an Iowa farmer WHO VOTED FOR BIDEN,

was sounding very discouraged on our Thanksgiving phone call Wednesday night.

The inputs for next year's crop, which are purchased with this year's profits, are up 350% (so far). They had a great yield this year, but poof.....profits gone....Then there are gas prices, heating prices, grocery prices...."Something's got to be done," he said.

Dems have an opportunity to win some farm votes, if they care to take it.....Natural gas producers are driving much of the hurt felt by farmers now, as one of the main byproducts of natural gas production is used to make liquid fertilizer. In addition, most households can't afford heating bills that will be 40-100%, or more, higher this winter. One of my brother's last comments on the phone call was, "I hope Biden wakes up."

It seems to me that intentional withholding of natural gas production is an urgent matter of national security in regards to our economic well-being. Can EOs be used to require increased natural gas production?

Maybe we're all going to have to register as Rs and vote in their damn primaries

in order to weed out the crazies....

Death Threats?

So many NFL players have long hair

flowing out the back of their helmets.....

Is it a penalty if someone on the opposing team grabs those locks?

I hope the first bridge that gets upgraded as a result of the BIF

is the one that connects Louisville, KY, and Indiana over the Ohio River, with President Biden standing there to cut the ribbon and calling out Mitch McConnell....

I hope the first water system that gets upgraded as a result of the BIF is Flint, MI.

Just now enjoying one of the best brownies I've ever eaten.

I bought it at my local "health food" store, which makes takeout items they call "Grab and Go." It's a zucchini brownie with chocolate chips sprinkled on top. So moist and utterly delicious!

I'm going to try to find a recipe online, as I doubt they would share their recipe (but I may ask them).

Simple list of ingredients, I just need to know the measurements and sequence of assembling them:

zucchini, sunflower oil, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, vanilla, sugar, all purpose flour, chocolate chips

And, I'm of the opinion that the brand of ingredients will make a difference in the flavor of the end product; in this case, most especially, the cocoa powder and chocolate chips. Probably brands they carry in the store....

What's with all the camo gear on the sidelines among all the coaching personnel at NFL games?

I've been noticing this for the last couple of weeks. (Maybe it's gone on longer....)
