I see Norman Lear, who was completely with it and relevant at the age of 101, has passed away. A true loss to our country and the world.

WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris broke a nearly 200-year-old record for casting the most tiebreaking votes in the Senate when she voted Tuesday to advance the confirmation of a new federal judge in Washington, D.C.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, called Harris’ 32nd tiebreaking vote a “great milestone.”
Harris returned to Capitol Hill later in the day to cast her 33rd vote as well, securing the judge’s confirmation.
The previous recordholder was John C. Calhoun, who cast 31 tiebreaking votes during his eight years as vice president, from 1825 to 1832. Harris, a Democrat, tied Calhoun's record in July.
*** Schumer presented Harris with a golden gavel after Tuesday’s vote. Harris, who beamed as she made history from the Senate dais, said afterward she was “truly honored.”
Casting tiebreaker votes is among the only constitutional duties for vice presidents, and Harris has been repeatedly called on to break deadlocks because the Senate is closely divided between Democrats and Republicans.The pace of Harris’ votes dropped off this year, when Democrats expanded their slim majority in the Senate by a single seat. But she still managed to surpass Calhoun’s record in less than half the time that he took to set it.
Harris has helped advance the American Rescue Plan, which was a $1.9 trillion pandemic relief measure, and the Inflation Reduction Act, which limited the costs of prescription drugs and created financial incentives for clean energy.
Most of Harris’ votes have involved President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees. On Tuesday, she boosted Loren AliKhan’s nomination to be a U.S. District Court judge. AliKhan was confirmed hours later.
Schumer credited Harris with helping to confirm more women and people of color to the bench to help make the judiciary “look more like America

Went to Costco with DS today and as we were eating a slice of their pizza, noticed the guy at the next table had a Trump 2024 Save America hat on. Then a guy walks up and fist bumps him due to the hat. I wanted to vomit and say some foul things to him. However, DS, much to my dismay is also a Trumper so I bit my tongue. Have no idea how he became this way because I did not raise him to be a negative person. While it breaks my heart, I want to see my grand children so I do not talk religion or politics with him.

I'm totally with you Betrayal. It is sad when someone we love seems to find more of value in something we so strongly dislike. I'm fortunate that no one in my immediate family goes the Reps. way. Some are close enough though and now and then it makes life a little touchy.
I will hold out hope that those I know as quite intelligent and kind people will in time as the Reps. way hopefully dissolves and perhaps re-forms will be able to look back on the 'times' of Trump and Trumpism and discover that they hopefully might see it all a bit differently. Some of my (female cousins) seem to be following the Reps. party now and it seems to me it came from their adult children. One generally thinks of something like that being the other way around.
I would gladly give up being able to share politics or religion in order to be sure I could see my grandkids.

Love the above meme.

As minds go, I just read that Speaker Johnson just likened himself to Moses while speaking at an event where he thought no media would be present.
Leads me to wonder why people I just normally consider some of the most un-God like in their behaviors seem to be the ones that most portray themselves in some sort of biblical referenced way. If nothing else they announce they are where they are because of the favor of the Good Lord on their behalf. I am not in the least convinced that they are such GOOD souls that God has singled them out as worthy to become Speaker or much of anything else. If anything, I think the Good Lord likely gets tired of all the times he has to raise his arms to do a face plant at so many of the dastardly doings.

What a great meme. Books to me give me another world to be in for a while. I can live in someone's else shoes and then walk away with no loss, sometimes great excitement or great mystery, I can live so many different lives while exploring the world at large. I can't really imagine a world w/o books.

If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never truly be fulfilled.
If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with
yourself. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way
things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking,
the whole world belongs to you.
