The Republican Civil War starts now

 Well Hello Wednesday!  Today is the Sunday for my mid-week weekend.  Schedules will get posted today.  Can you feel the excitement?  Probably not.  If you're in Central PA, that's most likely because you're still in shock from yesterdays snowfall.  It started off in, as my PA Dutch grandmother would say, in the forenoon with sleet.  Then we had drizzle and schlizzle until around 4:30 PM, and then the big flakes began to fall.  Large, at first, the size of a ping pong ball smashed by a careless foot, and super slushy.  When I let the dogs out around 9 PM, we had about an inch of mush.  This morning, temps are warmer and it's doing what snow should do: melt.

Crap, my Garmin Connect is no long importing my weight from my Withing's scale.  That's a pisser.  And my Senso earbuds Bluetooth is no longer working.  Both are old.  My weight I can manually enter and the Senso earbuds may end up in the trash since I have a pair of nice Jabra earbuds to take their place.

15,000 people have not been sentenced to death in Iran.  This is from NBC News, if you don't believe them, there are other reputable news sites (BBC, Le Monde, NYT) reporting this.

And, joy of joys, Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president in 2024.  Joy of Joys, you ask?  Because this bitter loser is going to destroy the Republican Party.  Al Jazeera has a nice take on his bid, they suggest he will take his party to the brink.   I understand CNN was the only media outlet to carry the entire length of his speech live.  That shows you how far CNN has fallen.  The Guardian says the only reason he's running is to try and stay out of jail.  Even Fox news cut away for their' 'journalists' to discuss his announcement.  The Murdoch news organizations have already switched their loyalty to DeSantis.  The problem with the GOP is that Donnie, the Orange Anus, has a large MAGA following, probably about 2/3 of the Republican Party who will lavish every turd of untruth he spits out with praise, before the swallow them whole.  And a large majority of Americans, around 64% are saying "what the fuck."  Prepare for a vicious (and bloody) Republican civil war.  This is going to get good.

Ginni, Ginni, Ginni

 Here it is Friday.  I stepped on my Withings scale yesterday and instead of looking down and seeing how much weight I had horrifyingly gained, I saw this message:  Set Up.  Son of a bitch.  I was set up.  I weighed myself just a couple of days back.  The only time I get this message is when I replace the batteries.  That wasn't done.  I will go through the process of setting it up, but I'm thinking this might be a sign that it needs to be replaced... perhaps with something that doesn't have all the bells and whistles.

I will need to do some work on the aquariums today.  

Last night I watched the first episode of Halo.  I liked it.  Definitely to violent for the kiddies.  I saw that Amblin Entertainment is one of the producers, which means Spielberg is in some tiny way involved.  I'm not the only one who thinks it's good.  Let me warn those who are gamer squeamish, the series is based on a video game.  Believe me, this is not like the game.

Of course, so many have now heard about Virginia Thomas' texts to Mark Meadows.  At one time he was Donald (just call me the spawn of Satan) Trump's Chief of Staff. He was also, at one point, sort of working with the January 6 committee... but that stopped.  No doubt at Ginni's urging because those texts, if not treasonous, reveal the depth of her corruption.  You do know who Ginni is, don't you?  The wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas?  You know?  The Oreo who probably rarely gets dipped in Ginni's glass of milk.  You have to wonder if the only reason Ginni and Clarence are married is so she can influence his Conservative decisions on the Supreme Court.  Now we know why he was the only dissenting voice when it came to releasing White House documents, including texts.  Remember that?  Maybe that's why he's in the hospital.  The ugly truth about Ginni has been revealed.
