Illinois lady,
Force of professional habit after a career of correcting elementary school level spelling 😉.

I thought I recalled you were a teacher. Back in my day before breast cancer and lots and lots of cancer drugs I was considered excellent at spelling — but ah, no more. I think it is partly why I tend to skim across a lot of things when I know what it is going to come out to. That really isn't a good thing to do. I took a course one time and could not define all the words in the paragraphs.
The class monitor kept trying to 'gig' me and was always amazed that I knew what the paragraph said even though I didn't know the meaning of many of the words. I think it came from reading very early and VERY often. Usually devoured all the library books and looking around for ANY printed words — even newspapers which at my young age really weren't very exciting, but I was getting the stimulation anyway. I'm glad you are there and still notice.

Once a teacher, always a teacher! ☺️

That's because he is an "it". Change makers never promote change which will directly affect/impact them but will have a negative impact on others. Would he do the same if it involved his children's identity? He's a loser no matter how you look at him.

This should get interesting

You beat me to it, SpookiesMom! We may only have 9 electoral college votes, but that's 9 that he won't be able to claim.
This should also prove interesting if Boebert is implicated in the 1/6 insurrection. She was accused of leading recognizance tours, and tweeting the locations of fellow Congressionals during the breech. Not sure she'll manage to win a third term, though.

Very happy to hear about the Colorado decision but I am certain trump will appeal (and to the Supreme Court if necessary).,
Miriandra,
Nice Hanukkah meme! When asked for gelt,my father would say, “Ich hab nisht cain gelt” Translation: I don’t have any money. Sorry for the transliteration but Yiddish is written with Hebrew letters (though the language is nothing like Hebrew!)

Every word carries a vibration that sent out, comes back. A cutting word destroys what a sweet word heals. One spoken word can make or mar the destiny of a being. When heart is put into a word, the word encompasses the totality of love and brings love back. When a word is without heart, it is cold and empty and will bring back cold and emptiness. -Cheryl Canfield

Judge allows the removal of a Confederate memorial at Arlington Cemetery
The Associated Press
December 20, 20238:57 AM ET
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A federal judge on Tuesday allowed the Arlington National Cemetery to remove a century-old Confederate memorial one day after blocking the removal over a report that gravesites were disturbed.
At a hearing in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, U.S. District Judge Rossie Alston said he issued the temporary injunction Monday after receiving an urgent phone call from the memorial's supporters saying that gravesites adjacent to the memorial were being desecrated as contractors began work to remove the memorial.
He said he toured the site before Tuesday's hearing and saw the site being treated respectfully.
"I saw no desecration of any graves," Alston said. "The grass wasn't even disturbed."
Alston issued an 18-page opinion Tuesday evening to lift the injunction. He said the allegations that the removal efforts amounted to grave desecration "were, at best, ill-informed and, at worst, inaccurate."
Cemetery officials sought to have the injunction lifted quickly. They said they are required by law to complete the removal by the end of the year and that the contractors doing the work have only limited availability over the next week or so.
In a statement Tuesday evening, the cemetery said it "will resume the deliberate process of removing the Confederate Memorial from Arlington National Cemetery immediately. While the work is performed, surrounding graves, headstones and the landscape will be carefully protected.
An independent commission recommended removal of the memorial last year in conjunction with a review of Army bases with Confederate names.
The statue, designed to represent the American South and unveiled in 1914, features a bronze woman, crowned with olive leaves, standing on a 32-foot (9.8-meter) pedestal. The woman holds a laurel wreath, plow stock and pruning hook, and a biblical inscription at her feet says: "They have beat their swords into plough-shares and their spears into pruning hooks."
Some of the figures also on the statue include a Black woman depicted as "Mammy" holding what is said to be the child of a white officer, and an enslaved man following his owner to war.
Defend Arlington, in conjunction with a group called Save Southern Heritage Florida, has filed multiple lawsuits trying to keep the memorial in place. The group contends that the memorial was built to promote reconciliation between the North and South and that removing the memorial erodes that reconciliation.
Tuesday's hearing focused largely on legal issues, but Alston questioned the heritage group's lawyers about the notion that the memorial promotes reconciliation.
He noted that the statue depicts, among other things, a "slave running after his 'massa' as he walks down the road. What is reconciling about that?" asked Alston, an African American who was appointed to the bench in 2019 by then-President Donald Trump.
Alston also chided the heritage group for filing its lawsuit Sunday in Virginia while failing to note that it lost a very similar lawsuit over the statue just one week earlier in federal court in Washington. The heritage groups' lawyers contended that the legal issues were sufficiently distinct that it wasn't absolutely necessary for Alston to know about their legal defeat in the District of Columbia.
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who disagrees with the decision to remove the memorial, made arrangements for it to be moved to land owned by the Virginia Military Institute at New Market Battlefield State Historical Park in the Shenandoah Valley

Got to preserve that "white master supremacy" at all cost and Youngkin should be ashamed of himself. Applaud the judge for calling out the hypocrisy of the Save Southern Heritage Florida since the statue in my eyes doesn't promote reconciliation; to me, it seems to question why the North wanted to abolish slavery with both black persons being represented in subordinate positions to the woman who represents the South. The Bible quote seems a little off, too since the slaves never had swords or spears to beat into farm implements.

The white Supremacists have nothing but their awful monuments to cling to, because they can't stand on their own. They only keep reminding people that they were losers who gained nothing and keeping a monument in place somewhere is never going to convince people they were right then or now.

This should not make me giggle, but it is after all describing Ms. Bobert.
