Balloons
I think we found the source of those unidentified high altitude objects.

Despite calls for unity and bi-partisan cooperation, the antics, childish yelling, and digs continue- this is how the State of our Union feels.
If you’re viewing this post, you’re on social media right now and should be more concerned about that info gathering than the Chinese balloon. And TikTok has been shown to capture more data than most, owned by a company in Beijing subject to national security data audits by the Chinese government.
In his quest to disprove that systemic racism still affects people, Florida Gov. DeSantis is using his systemic powers to suppress discussion of racial issues and understanding. Kind of proving the point.
If nothing else, George Santos is a gift to political cartoonists and late night tv writers everywhere.
Marie Kondo, the guru of tidy, has said that, note that she had three kids, she doesn’t tidy as much anymore. Big surprise.
Florida Gov. DeSantis has continued his crack down on books in Florida schools, leading to empty shelves where school libraries once stood and school librarians vilified and fearful they’ll be charged with felonies.
It’s awful, authoritarian, and dangerous.
The House GOP is again going to play chicken with the US debt ceiling, saying they won’t go along with increasing the debt ceiling without balancing the budget.
They’ve rejected outright any tax increase. They also want to take funds away from the IRS, which the CBO projects will increase the deficit.
Various GOP factions have outright rejected any cuts to defense spending. Many reject cuts to entitlements like Social Security and Medicare.
The target then becomes discretionary domestic spending, with very popular programs such as farm subsidies, water programs, infrastructure, and more.
But to balance the budget by cutting only discretionary domestic spending would require cutting 85% of that spending.
So far there’s no solution offered up, let alone one that will pass the Senate and White House.
So we’re left with what… magic thinking? Or the favorite response when they don’t know what to do, thoughts and prayers.
M&M'S announced they’ll stop use of their candy characters due to backlash after they began to diversify the characters. America can’t handle representation in their candy.
Half Moon Bay. Monterey Park. Chicago. Robinsonville. Baton Rouge. Shreveport. Houston. Fort Pierce. Goshen. Rockford. That’s not even all of them in the past week.
It’s so frequent we are numb to it. Maybe that’s why most of America continues to do nothing?
Unfortunately, putting an alleged pathological liar Congressman on the House Committee on Science seems about par for the course in America today. Sigh.
It’s all about work/life balance, amiright?
C’mon, social media, stop trying to overcomplicate this and just give us the posts we want to see.
Katie Porter is taking her whiteboard and declaring a run for the Senate, to replace Dianne Feinstein in 2024. Feinstein has yet to announce if she will run for re-election in 2024, though she has filed the paperwork to be able to run.
Will be interesting to see it play out.
After all the fuss over Trump having classified government documents in his office, now we find that Biden had some in his private office, too, even when he was not in office.
Yes, it’s not the same, as the Biden team has voluntarily returned the documents to the National Archives when they found them, while Trump was holding documents long after their return was ordered.
But, c’mon, Joe, it’s not a good look.
