@npub1lzz…jhl3 The media is reprehensible when it comes to programming the public’s perception of Biden. My FOX-watching sister asked me if I thought Biden would nod off during the #STOU. American reporters are cowed, gullible, suicidal, or all of the above.

@npub1ahq…wjwd @npub1car…g4j0 Something like this happened to me 20+ years ago.
Turned out to be syncope, an occasional skipped heartbeat that deprived my brain of just enough oxygen to get dizzy and/or blank out.
Hasn't been a problem since I got a pacemaker. Good luck.

@npub1hgr…2e7r I was a once a DC trade reporter. Agency and Hill sources gave me, as well as lobbyists, unpublished memos and reports to inform the housing industry about policy plans and decisions that would not appear for months (or ever) in the Federal Register.
The #FifthCircuit decision is another milestone on the road to a more perfect collapse, one that will bite the business community in the ass thanks to the law of unintended consequences. #Texas

But I do believe #ButcherBibi, in addition to forcing a Palestinian exodus, is trying to help Trump by getting angry progressives to vote for a “peace and freedom” candidate instead of #BidenHarris2024

Check out this WSJ column about a poll re: the chant "from the river to the sea."
* 47% of surveyed US students didn't know which river or sea. (Guesses included the Nile and the Caribbean.)
* 67.8% who backed the chant changed their minds after learning a few facts: like the river is the Jordan, the sea is the Mediterranean, and the chant calls for the expulsion or annihilation of Israelis.
* Most students liked the two-state solution now rejected by most #Israelis and #palestinians.

The GOP is the only party destroying military in the name racial purity. But the media lacks the ability to call Republicans out for its despicable beliefs and actions. #VoteBlue

@npub1tf4…nzuj Madison warned us against Issue One: the GOP plan to replace a 50.1% majority with 60% to amend the Ohio constitution.
If approved, "it would be no longer the majority that would rule; the power would be transferred to the minority” when it comes to passing laws or other measures, he said in Federalist 58.
Worse, Issue One + GOP gerrymandering together will put bad legislators and bad policies out of reach of the voting majority.
Issue One is tyranny of the minority in action.
