Cluelessness, Public Displays of'
This is not a patriotic look. This is an "All the makeup I had was either red, blue, or black, and all the brain I had was on vacation" look. Or the person may have let a computer "correct" the way the person started to type "Pathetic looking man...." My guess is that he lost a bet. had to go out in public looking like this, and got drunk first. One should only bet on a sure thing. Pathetic.
This is a patriotic look. (It's also an oldfashioned look; I wanted a young man with auburn hair, to contrast with the pathetic-looking one above, and Google kept pulling up pictures of old men, Black men, or women mail carriers. I think it's been fifty years since I saw one of those hats.)
Education
Trump pledged to offer tax breaks and other forms of support to homeschoolers. Scroll down--it's video clip #1 on a Top Ten List with #10 at the top.
Election 2024
Senator Kaine says his legislation will cut costs and Candidate Cao supports legislation that would raise costs. That's as may be. I don't doubt that it's true for specific bills, but in the overall budget...well, you know how that goes.
What Senator Kaine may not know is that for me, personally, cost is not the main issue. Glyphosate is. Senator Kaine has a good record of having once stood up to chemical companies; unfortunately he's not done that again in the past ten years.
It's too late for my mother, who deserved to be a perky vegan in a glyphosate-free world if anyone ever did. It's too late for my Significant Other, whose cause of death may never be known, but who certainly was tortured, not by pseudo-celiac reactions but by pseudo-strokes, as unmistakable glyphosate reactions in the last ten years of his life. It may well be too late for me to have a long healthy life, or it may not. But anyone who wants my vote had better deliver some serious prospects for The Nephews to enjoy the long lives and good health they deserve.
No link to the lazy incumbent's political ad. He had many chances to lead the call for a glyphosate ban. He and I corresponded about it for years. He did nothing about it. If Cao's going to cooperate with Kennedy and work for a glyphosate ban, Kaine's career is toast.
Mean Girl McTackypants is claiming that a tariff on imported goods will make everything cost much more. Not necessarily. It will make some brands cost more, and bring different brands into fashion. It should not be enough of a problem to justify voting for Tackypants. No links to her political ads, either.
However, this web site will remind readers: Apart from the jeans and coveralls we wear when doing physical labor jobs, there's no reason why women need to wear trousers. For those who want to wear trousers to work or school, what makes them "tacky pants" is any combination of (1) straining across body fat, and/or (2) showing the ankles--trouser hems should touch the top of the shoe when we stand up--and/or (3) inappropriate shoes. With unisex clothing we should always wear unisex shoes.
Glyphosate Awareness
Enough to make you consider a new regulation: "Members of or candidates for legislative positions may receive funds from manufacturers of products known to harm human beings on the sole condition that the manufacturers' representatives present the money directly, face to face, to persons harmed by their products, in the presence of the campaigning official, apologizing for the harm done and providing proof that the manufacturers have made significant changes to any products they want to continue to be licensed to manufacture." And: "Manufacturers who have attempted to censor private citizens' good faith complaints about harm done by their products shall be presumed to have operated in bad faith, with intent to harm human beings, and shall be subject to criminal prosecution for whatever type of harm they have done."
Not only do I want Bayer to make me wealthy. I want Bayer to make other celiacs wealthy. I want Bayer decision-makers who ignored our pain to learn how to live on the minimum hourly wage for hand-picking weeds and insects on organic farms.
