Poem of the day
The Land of Lost Content
by Alfred Edward Housman (1859-1936)
Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.
Could God be punishing Florida for its “anti-woke” policies? And for electing Ron DeSantis?
Science? We don’t need stinkin’ science!
He was for the COVID-19 vaccines before he was against them, but now Florida’s governor is all-in on vaccine skepticism—and hoping to use the issue to outflank Trump on the right. With the presidential primaries looming, and MAGA activists angling to turn Trump against the vaccines he helped fast-track, experts fear anti-vaxxism could soon become an official plank of the Republican Party.
This is shocking, absolutely shocking news! Trump corrupt? No!
As electoral-vote.com never tires of saying, it’s all about the grift.
The gifts include a life-size painting of Trump and golf clubs from the Japanese prime minister, according to a new report from House Democrats.
The comparison to The Godfather is apt, or Cat Herding 101
The Problem Solvers Caucus, Republican Governance Group, Main Street Caucus, Study Committee and Freedom Caucus negotiate as House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has a four-seat majority.
As well it should be
A plan to save the high court from its own excesses?with bipartisan buy-in?is gathering steam. Here are the next steps to build on the unexpected momentum.
Immigration is key to Biden’s green agenda
Politico: “President Joe Biden’s plan for greening the economy relies on a simple pitch: It will create good-paying jobs for Americans.
“The problem is there might not be enough Americans to fill them. That reality is pressuring the Biden administration to wrestle with the nation’s immigration system to avoid squandering its biggest legislative achievements.”
Congress has directed a record amount of money at boosting green jobs the U.S. workforce currently doesn?t appear equipped to fill.
Poem of the day
For All Blasphemers
by Stephen Vincent Benét (1898-1943)
Adam was my grandfather,
A tall, spoiled child,
A red, clay tower
In Eden, green and mild.
He ripped the Sinful Pippin
From its sanctimonious limb.
Adam was my grandfather—
And I take after him.
Noah was my uncle
And he got dead drunk.
There were planets in his liquor-can
And lizards in his bunk.
He fell into the Bottomless
Past Hell’s most shrinking star.
Old Aunt Fate has often said
How much alike we are.
Lilith, she’s my sweetheart
Till my heartstrings break,
Most of her is honey-pale
And all of her is snake.
Sweet as secret thievery,
I kiss her all I can,
While Somebody Above remarks
“That’s not a nice young man!”
Bacchus was my brother,
Nimrod is my friend.
All of them have talked to me
On how such courses end.
But when His Worship takes me up
How can I fare but well?
For who in gaudy Hell will care?
And I shall be in Hell.
Yikes! That’s a scary thought!
Republicans who want to stop Trump?s renomination need a better argument than ?he can?t win.? We?ve been there before.
