I continue to be impressed by the backbone that Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida is displaying. The usual suspects in the press and the feds are attacking him tooth and nail and he’s standing his ground remarkably. I think he’s shown himself to be a savvy politician and someone who will be worth watching going forward.
Great to see that Gavin Newsom is looking like a dead man walking. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Larry Elder might be an interesting governor for California. Because of his color it will be inconvenient for the usual suspects to use their usual methods to attack him. Might be a learning experience for black voters to see a conservative black leader for once.
I’m trying to teach myself some Word Press design techniques to streamline some of the repetitive stuff I do such as the photo and quote of the day posts. It’s just a matter of making some templates that are easy to use so I can avoid some keystrokes and clicks. But you know what old dogs and new tricks are like so it is eating into my day.
Rainy, cool weather here in New England but no snow yet so that’s good. Camera Girl is working indoors today and that means we’ll eventually have to talk to each other which is always dangerous. She’s very excited about a new shell I bought her for her hermit crab. I named him Buster Crabbe after the late great star of the classic Flash Gordon serials of the 1930s. She’s so excited about him moving into the new shell that she wants me to photograph him for posterity. Don’t be surprised if he shows up here at some point. I told her I thought he’d be better off as part of a crab sauce over spaghetti. She was not amused.
Haven’t seen any of the praying mantises for a week or so and I’m wondering if there are many predators in the yard that they have to contend with. I guess frogs and toads might be the likeliest enemies around the yard. But maybe even field mice might be a threat. Next week will be drier and warmer so I’m hoping that I’ll make some further sightings. Princess Sack-of-Potatoes will be sorely disappointed if they don’t reappear. Although lately she seems a lot more interested in chasing butterflies. I guess women of all ages are a fickle bunch.
I saw that Dementia Joe’s poll numbers have finally gone below water. Of course Politico will put out their own poll that says he’s at 52% so they can claim the average is above 50% but looking at the main pollsters he’s now under water. And that’s during the August doldrums. come September when kids will be sitting in sweltering classrooms with masks over their faces I can see those numbers in the low forties. Oh, Joe’s gonna be awfully popular. But we’ll see.
The Congress is getting ready to sell us out again. Joe Manchin has cut his deal. His wife has been put in charge of a billion dollar slush fund so you can expect that the fix is in. The Dems will use the reconciliation process to put illegal alien citizenship, statehood for Puerto Rico and DC, permanent election fraud and heaven knows what else into law this fall. So don’t let yourself get sucked into the miasma of despair they’re preparing. It’s coming and we need to concentrate on the things we can control ourselves. And we need to be able to decide where our own long term best interests will be served. All that will be things to discuss and figure out.
so that’s enough for now. Stay tuned.
