I don’t have dark skies anymore, but if you do, and have clear skies, keep an eye on the night this weekend. A G3/G4 solar storm is predicted this weekend. That could spark Aurora all the way down to the southern US.

Back in the last century, during the 90s, there was a storm that made the aurora visible in Austin, Texas, where I lived at the time. It was amazing.

Having it both ways (He is a privileged, elected member of Congress.) congressman Mike Collins (R-GA), applauds racist attacks "mocking the Hamas loving fat girl." after expressing how he feels about Jews-
"In March, Collins participated in a vehemently anti-Semitic attack against a Washington Post journalist on X. Collins endorsed a post by a racist meme account, @GarbageHuman23, who attacked journalist Maura Judkis for being Jewish."

1/... Via Kevinly Father on Twitter:

The Republican party is literally suing to prevent legal votes from being counted.

Bartiromo: I see that the RNC is filing a lawsuit in a battleground state to stop counting ballots past election day.

Lara : Yeah. Well, that's exactly right. You cannot have ballots counted after elections are over.

Contradicts her father-in-law, who wanted imaginary "votes" counted well after election day.

It's the rock and the hard place choice...again. Voters disappointed with Biden v Netanyahu can vote for Trump, vote for Jr., or not vote- all choices that can lead to Biden's defeat and mass Muslim expulsion from the US

Yesterday I ordered something off the interwebs that is only intermittently available locally. Naturally, I shopped around and was pleasantly surprised to find it for a low price at a hardware store located (I thought I read on the web site) in Colorado.
I put in my credit card info and finished the transaction only to immediately got a text message alert from my credit union. It flagged a suspisious transaction on my card to Toolmasteryhome Hong Kong Loan Advance Credit!

"...household wealth for Americans under 40 has risen an astonishing 49% from where it was before the pandemic. Wealth doubled for those born between 1981 and 1996. This increase in household wealth comes in part from rising home prices and more financial assets, as well as less debt, which fell by $5,000 per household. Households of those under 35 have shown a 140% increase in median wealth in the same time period."

"In 1987, Reagan’s appointees to the Federal Communications Commission abandoned the Fairness Doctrine that required media with a public license to present information honestly and fairly. Within a year, talk radio had gone national, with hosts like Rush Limbaugh electrifying listeners with his attacks on 'liberals' and his warning that they were forcing 'socialism' on the United States.

Keep in mind that the US does not have a health care system. It has an insurance/medical industry.

Good doctors have little say in this other than to practice privately and not put up with jumping through hoops for the insurance industry.

@shekinahcancook @CivilityFan
Doctors don't make the call to deny coverage for medical treatment. That's the work of clerks in an insurance corporation.
