    A single act of kindness may have a long trajectory and touch those we will never meet or see. Something that we casually offer may move through a web of connection far beyond ourselves to have effects that we may have never imagined. And so each of us may have left far more behind us than we may ever know.

    Ruth, that was hysterical -- I laughed so much that by the end I had loads of tears in my eyes. Of course, there is so much truth. Who wouldn't laugh. I'm torn about a lot. On the one hand, I do think the Reps. are doing more than anyone else could to destroy their own party and their own chances. Still, there is that feeling way down that someone like the Loon was able to get as far as he got which also keeps an un-easy feeling swirling somewhere in the pit of my stomach.

    I do think the media is playing a major part and that is sad. I think of all the great newscasters in my day and it is just horrific to see what they have come too. Hate to admit it is the electronic media that has to produce results in an instant.

    May be an image of text that says 'Middle Age Riot @middleageriot Republican politicians are the only Russian assets in the U.S. that haven't been frozen.'

    One of those good newsmen.

    May be a Twitter screenshot of 1 person and text that says 'Dan Rather @DanRather The DeSantis playbook on race and education is just an updated edition of what I saw in the South in the 1960s.'

    May be an image of 1 person and text that says 'Fox News (Fox Cp.) is has just been sued for making illegal contributions to President Trump's political action committee. This lawsuit comes after court documents in the Dominion case showed that Rupert Murdoch and Fox News gave confidential information about Joe Biden's advertising to Donald Trump in 2020. THE LAWSUIT IS FILED BY MEDIAMATTERS, SPECIFICALLY AGAINST FOX CORP. AND THEIR CHAIRMAN RUPERT MURDOCH. @EDKRASSEN OCCUPY DEMOCRATS'

    Idiots never cease.

    May be an image of 1 person and text that says '18,700 elf-described Christians have just called for Representative Lauren Boebert to "resign and repent" for reportedly wishing death to President Joe Bider indirectly during a recent sermon at a Dallas church, as seen below. THE LETTER BY FAITHFULAMERICA READS: "As your fellow Christians, we write with both love and sadness as we urge you to privately repent for weaponizing our faith as a political tool, to publicly apologize for invoking a Psalm about death when praying for the President of the United States, and to resign from public office now." @KRASSENSTEIN OCCUPY DEMOCRATS'

    Keep in mind that you were created by God and then that mold was broken. No one else is like you. You're unique. You're special. It's all right to be you. Don't let others shape you—what you do, say, or think. That's God's task. He started with you and he will finish with you. And he really does want you to be you. -H. Norman Wright

    If you weren’t concerned about DeSantis before, John Oliver has an excellent perspective on DeSantis. It’s long but worth a listen.

    John Oliver is brilliant! It's fun to watch Jon Stewart's protege's doing better at news analysis then the actual "news" casters.

    So they want to outlaw drag queens. What’s next? Halloween? I mean, adults dress up too, not just the kids. And I know some churches disapprove of it, not realizing it predates Christian churches.

    Hey, spookiesmom, if you need to get out of the fascist state of Florida, California would welcome you. We take in refugees from authoritarian regimes all over the world. Including Republican states.

    The perfume of sandalwood, the scent of bay leaf and jasmine, travel only as far as the wind. But the fragrance of goodness travels with us through all the worlds. Like garlands woven from flowers, fashion your life as a garland of beautiful deeds. -the Buddha
