Seems the Jan 6th Committee has backed off on their subpoena of Donnie Trump.
‘They Knew I Did Nothing Wrong’: Jan. 6 Committee Withdraws Subpoena of Trump
Has this waste of time and taxpayer money ever been anything except an attempt at Character Assignation ?
While I hope that 2023 is better, I really have no enthusiasm that it will be.
But to stop hoping is to start the decline to the belief that there is no reason to keep trying.
I will keep trying, and I hope you do as well.
At the end of it all, we are still better here in the US than most of the rest of the world’s citizens.
And for that, I am thankful.
Let us see what 2023 brings us, and pray that we can face it head on.
I expect that you, like me, will be happy to see 2022 fade into the distance.
I hope that each and every one of you have a better 2023.

So when do we see the tax returns of all the rest of the Senators and Congressmen?
I mean, public disclosure just like Trump. I actually don’t think it is a bad idea to see the tax returns for every public official.
Let’s start with Pelosi, and work from there.
And I likely will think twice before ever choosing them again….
Back from Phoenix. I am So thankful I flew Allegiant Airlines rather than Southwest….As I’d have been caught up in their operations meltdown.
As it was, no operational delays out of South Bend (except for the guy in the seat a few rows behind me, who passed out (Diabetic issues I think) just before they closed the doors and had to be hauled off the plane by paramedics ….and that is not the airline’s fault….)
Arrived Mesa airport almost on time even with the delay at departure and spent a wonderful few days with my parents in Phoenix….including taking them to dinner on their 60th wedding anniversary.
Oddly enough, weather wise, despite the temps being below zero a few days ago, it was nearly as warm at home as it was in Phoenix……. mid 50’s and rainy there and in Indiana, upper 40’s.
Anyway, had I gone my normal route, Southwest via Midway airport, I’d likely still be trying to GET to Phoenix……
And despite the stories and spin and excuses being put forth in the press releases, the “new” COO at Southwest is also part of the issue, having had since April of ’22 to do something about the operations…and he has done nothing to improve the situation……So he too is part of the problem. Plus the policies that led to 200 ramp workers in Denver either calling off or quitting…..which began the meltdown.
I will suggest that if you need a decent discount airline that flies from secondary airports, that you check out Allegient. Be aware that you pay extra for everything….bags, drinks, snacks, etc) but the price of the ticket is low and the service and operations are decent…the value is pretty good, all told.
Three power substations vandalized in Washington State on Christmas day
Apparently the vandals used flammable materials to do the damage this time, ragther than high velocity lead.
Takes a real asshole to do it on Christmas day though.
I’m betting these weren’t Right Wing folks either…..
I gotta say, that’s Darwin at work.
Firstly, there was no way that you could NOT know the conditions. “Forewarned is forearmed” , and there was plenty of warning…for DAYS before.
Secondly, while it might get cold in the car, if one is sheltered from the wind and has decent clothing, you won’t freeze to death even if the car isn’t running, even in -30 temperatures. It ain’t gonna be fun and it ain’t gonna be comfortable, but if the car is closed and the wind is kept out, and you have any decent clothing, you ain’t gonna freeze,…Plus, with a bit of management (and some intelligence), you can keep a car warm enough running it a few times an hour for days on a half tank of gas…And if you let your gas get lower than that while driving in storm conditions, then you are part of the problem…
Blaming the storm for these deaths is wrong. Blaming the folks travelling into the blizzard conditions with no preparations is more realistic.
When I ran the motel, I cannot count how many folks were rescued, having left Mississippi or such in a car that most of us wouldn’t feel safe to drive across town, carrying their family dressed in hoodies and maybe windbreakers to Wisconsin with a half tank of gas with bald tires and low oil….into blizzard conditions so they could see Aunt Josie or whatever….Sometimes you gotta be smart enough to stay home.
To all of you.
Remember the reason for the gift giving and celebrations.
Please take a moment to think of those folks, especially our military, who are unable to be home with family and friends.
Appreciate the sacrifices they make so you can celebrate in peace and security.
