AmBlue's JournalMy hurricane shutters are still up
Normally, I can't wait to get them down after a storm passes. But this week, it seems just fine that they are still up. Still coccooning us in. Still bracing for a storm. Just not a weather-related one.
It's a whole vibe.
TSF on CNN: "I am not a Nazi."
I don't have a link as I just saw this on CNN. NOT a winning message. They know the Nazi rally at MSG is a problem.
Even stone-faced Dana Bash was speaking out about it NOT being the "love-fest" TSF claims.
Fresh hell... Milton & DeathSantis
Tensions are at peak here in St Petersburg right now, boarding up, and getting ready to evacuate. It makes it so much worse to see Little Ronny taking over the emergency mgmt, droning on endlessly on my local station. He looks like he thinks he's gonna be President one day. The regular folks were doing just fine without him.
Wishing all my local DU peeps the very best as we deal with this monster!
Single mom, disabled daughter... home flooded.
I hope this is ok to post here. This mom and daughter are the family of my son's best friend, whom we have known for 15 years. Helene took nearly everything and they nearly drowned. If you can help they would be so grateful. Even just sharing this can help. Below is what my daughter posted to help them. Thank you for reading and sharing.
Hi all!
I know many of you were hit hard by Helene and my heart goes out to you. But for those that can afford to help, I would appreciate it if you can donate to a GoFundMe we set up for Jackson's mom, Sophia, and his sister. They were in South Pasadena, Florida (Pinellas County) which was one of the many areas completely under water.
They went through a truly harrowing experience trying to escape through their window into shoulder deep waters to the Publix nearby. Sophia had her daughter by the arm and their dog around her neck, and could barely touch the ground while they were surrounded by waste and fish in the water. After making it to Publix, they waited 7 hours outside for the water to go down enough so they could walk. Having lost their shoes, and with blisters on their feet, they walked miles to find the closest shelter. It's truly a miracle they all made it out alive. Now comes the hard work of facing the devastation.
Their apartment is ruined, so many memories and keepsakes lost. Even if you are not able to donate, please share this as much as you can. Thank you all so much!!! ❤️

Harris/Walz MUST receive equal airtime!!
The M$M is doing it again! Every time I turn on M$M--any channel-- I am seeing constant clips of Shady and the orange POS. They are getting constant free airtime. Nicolle Wallace was the only exception I saw today, but she did lead (and follow) with clips of them instigating yet MORE hate and violence, and calling Kamala a fascist. Granted, I am not watching 24/7, but it sure seems like Harris/Walz are getting the short end of the stick coverage-wise, while they race to cover (constantly) the shiny terror threats du jour. What is your experience?
it's the Guns
Got my cholesterol down fast!
I was recently diagnosed for the first time with very high cholesterol (total=261, LDL=177), and I have some family history of heart disease. I lost one of my parents and a grandparent to CHF. So, naturally, my PCP wanted to put me on a statin. I personally know someone who was crippled for life by a statin, so I refused the statin and committed to diet and lifestle changes for 90 days.
I immediately started back on the treadmill 5 days a week doing walk/jog intervals, and following Dr Joel Fuhrman's Nutritarian program. It's mostly vegetarian, but I do eat fish or lean poultry once or twice a week. I also am supplementing with garlic, bergamot, omega-3 and plant sterols in addition to my multi-vitamin.
So... long story short, I had a reason to have bloodwork again just 9 days after I started the program and my cholesterol has dropped drastically! My total cholesterol is now normal at 198 (63 pt drop). My LDL is down to 133 (44 pt drop). I never dreamed these changes would take effect so quickly and dramatically, but my doctor is astounded and so am I. I just wanted to share in case this can help anyone else here dealing with high cholesterol.
"Weird" is NOT name-calling.
It is TRUTH-TELLING.
It's weird to change your name multiple times.
It's weird to bury your ex-wife in a nearly unmarked grave on your golf course after she mysteriously falls down a staircase.
It's weird to be sexually attracted to your own daughter.
It's weird to be obsessed with your fellow Americans' menstrual cycles.
It's weird to want your Vice President hanged.
It's weird to think you have the right to force women to give birth against their will.
It's weird to want to strip Americans' of their rights.
It's weird to be the principal of multiple failed businesses, a sexual predator, and compulsive liar, yet hold yourself up as worthy of the Presidency.
Just to name a few.
All of this is way more than just weird, but weird definitely applies. Need I go on?
Please feel free to add your own
QUESTION: When Kamala wins....
Since it is the VP's duty to count the electoral college votes in Congress, who will count them now that she is not only the VP, but also the (winning) candidate? Does she still count them?
