President Biden attends first Sunday Mass in Georgetown.

After four years of the gross orange porcine visage on every front page every effing day, I was hoping to see a picture documenting Biden going to Mass today but did either the Washington Post or the New York Times document that? No chance. I only saw a picture on the Daily Mail site because, of course, they wanted an opportunity to push the Hunter Biden crapola. I’m guessing that our President going to Mass like good Catholic is too boring to cover for our weary press. Trump was so exciting for them in a sick celebrity kind of way. I think it is important to show President Biden being normal. I want to see our President being normal. Everyday. It will counteract morons like Tucker Carlson still promoting his horrible delusions about President Biden’s various infirmities. I sent letters to the editors and urge anyone to do the same.

Like most of you, I knew nothing about Jay Inslee before he declared. I have been very impressed with his comments during the “debates” and I think he adds a lot with his focus on the Climate Emergency. I have been very impressed with his coherence and demeanor on the stage. The East Coast dominated media seems to lump him in with the goofier candidates but I think he has an interesting biography and his actions as Governor to oppose Trump have been exemplary.

From Axios:

Key facts about Jay Inslee:

Current position: Governor of Washington — 9 years served. Chair of Democratic Governors Association.

Age: 68

Born: Seattle, Washington

Undergraduate: Stanford University, University of Washington

Date candidacy announced: March 1, 2019

Previous roles: House of Representatives (1993-1995, 1999-2012), Washington House of Representatives (1989-1993)

In the Clinton Administration he served as Regional Director U.S. HHS.

Honestly, I haven’t been able to find anything that puts him at the bottom of the pack except that he’s not from an East Coast State and not a woman.

If you care about the Climate Emergency, I encourage you to re-think Jay Enslee.

p.s. In Congress he was invited to play basketball with Obama!  That’s gotta be worth a $5 donation!

I sent some $$ to Sen. Heitkamp for voting No on Kavenaugh in spite of her close race. Basically she is the Anti-Manchin and did what Sen Manchin was too calculated to do. I got an email thank you today which included a plea to come to North Dakota to put some boots on the ground and knock on doors for her.

If you or someone you know is willing to help out. Here’s the linkydink:

This from a New York Times opinion piece by Sarah Hepola today: Kavenaugh and the Blackout Theory

This is not about the attempted rape of Dr. Ford but about another target. In the essay she details a section in Mark Judges memoir:

Mr. Judge describes this terror in his memoir “Wasted,” where he tells the story of a wedding rehearsal dinner where he got so blasted he doesn’t remember the evening’s end. A friend informs him the next day that he tried to take off his clothes and “make it” with a bridesmaid. Mr. Judge’s response cuts me. “Please tell me I didn’t hurt her,” he said.

I was prepared not to be persuaded by this theory, but she does an excellent job of describing that some people under the influence will truly not remember what they did.

Brett claims he never blacked out, only went to sleep. This may be a lie.

There are so many questions still to be asked about his drinking but I doubt Brett Kavenaugh will ever be asked and if asked he will then be allowed to evade, divert, and lie.

Petition to Remove Fake News from Grocery Check Outs

Fed up by the propaganda that too many folks think is real, I’ve made a petition at Change.org https://www.change.org/p/remove-national-enquirer-from-placement-at-checkouts-at-kroger-safeway-grocery-stores

These Food Store chains have contracts with American Media Inc to keep their tabloids in every check out line in their stores across the country and the chains make more money by selling them there in a preferred location. Note that I am not asking for a ban, only a relocation to the in-Store magazine section rather than the check out lines.

While internet corporations seem to be trying to correct online propaganda, I have not seen the same concern from the chain stores that profit from preferred treatment of the tabloids.

I have seen reports that people have been successful at asking Store Managers in person to move them at least temporarily because a particular cover is offensive and as a individual guerrilla tactic you can, while waiting in line, peruse a less offensive magazine and then “accidentally” put it back on top.

Please support my quest to get the tabloids moved.

The full quote (which was a couple of characters too long for a diary title) is:

‘Don’t you ever touch me. Don’t ever touch me. The last guy who touched me ended up on the ground dead,’”

Which Republican Candidate was quoted as saying this to his challenger right before appearing at a public event last week?

Hey remember my diary last week where the Alaska State troopers in Fairbanks were covering up Joe Miller's culpability in causing a fender bender? Well remarkably the story has zagged again and Miller HAS been cited for causing the accident.
