We have 71 (F) outside and the skies are seriously overcast. Rain is on the way. The drizzles are supposed to start shortly. Humidity is not expected to fall... much. The same forecast is on tap for the next 2 days. After that we should be getting some sunshine. Temperatures will also climb a bit, but not much. Temp wise, we'll probably not crack the 90 (F) mark.
My plans yesterday had been to do some chores in the morning and to then go in and spend a couple of hours getting paid to sit at the flooring desk. That didn't happen. The sun was shining. My yard cleanup was calling, So I made an executive decision and stayed home and played with my chainsaw. The number of branches on the hill outside my fence is shrinking. This is a good thing.
For dinner I made tuna noodle casserole. I haven't made this in years. I consider this one of my comfort foods, though I really didn't need any comforting. Of course, I ate way too much. In fact, a large helping was my breakfast this morning.
And Howie got a brand new toy. He carried that piece of wood everywhere, even to bed. This morning, however, I saw his new toy lying abandoned outside.
We had a few primaries yesterday. Progressive Democrats did well. Of course, usually anytime a Democrat wins the American people win as well. Abdul El-Sayed won in Michigan. A doctor, he is the son of Egyptians and (drumroll please), a Muslim. You can bet the Christian Nationalists are flipping out this morning. I'm waiting for them to start gouging out their eyes in protest.
Almost $60 million dollars was spent trying to keep El-Sayed from wining. A lot of that money came from AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. The problem with AIPAC is that they are not pro Israel but pro Netanyahu. Old Nettie's genocidal attacks on Gaza are making him very unpopular. The fact that the Orange Anus and Netanyahu have practically become blood brothers makes accepting AIPAC campaign donations a big fail. There are those who claim that being anti-AIPAC is the same thing as being an antisemite. This is a deceit. People who are anti-AIPAC are simply anti-Nettie.
And Republican Senator John Cornyn said on camera that "there is no way to reign in this president." Translation: Republicans are so desperate to be in charge that if they have to grovel before the Orange Anus, they will willingly grovel. They are destroying America and they don't care. The only thing making their hearts sing is being in charge.
