Note to Republican presidential candidates: The idea is not
to help your opponent by justifying his criminal behavior.
The idea is to offer better ideas, not
promising
him
a
get out
of jail
free
card.

During most of Trump's tenure in the White House he leaned
heavily on the flimsy legal opinion that nothing the President
does is illegal.
The last President who tried that got banished from politics
and died in shame. Let's make it 2-for-2.

Inflation dropping like a rock, unemployment low, no recession,
gas prices stable, Trump will be in jail until he rots, and
the Lindberg baby has been found (kidding), all thanks to having
Joe Biden as President.
Thank, Joe!
BTW, I'm not suggesting Joe can alter gas prices. He can't. But he can govern
in a way that helps keep them stable, which he has.

While I was making breakfast yesterday the radio was warning of
the dire heat wave a'comin' to North Texas, that the Texas-only
electrical grid was in danger of catastrophic collapse. So I checked
the forecast...
99 degrees.
Are you kiddin' me? That's, you know... Texas. This is only just
above the "normal" reading in June.
Still, these temps are going to cause a WHOLE lot of people, including
many who just moved here (no Texas income tax but the highest home
taxes in the known universe), to crank the A/C down to just above
freezing
so they will, I suppose, have plenty
of cold
on hand
when
the
system
goes FOOM! Sort of like when drivers are running low
on gas will floor it so they'll reach the gas station sooner.
Sigh.
I've spent the better part of the past several decades learning
how to best cool my home without burdening the electric grid. It's
all about ventilation, which builders of "modern" homes in my area
almost completely neglect. Their ideal is a closed box that holds
in all the heat and cold (and toxins) that the grid will endure.
This is kind of important as we've crossed an environmental rubicon.
Researchers now calculate that the summer ice caps of this planet
will be a permanent memory come 2030. This will affect EVERYTHING
that has to do with jet streams and ocean currents. Meaning food
on your table and life in the ocean.
The quiet part which I'll say out loud: I'm
of course wasting my time trying to extend the life of the human
race a little by being cautious about my CO2 usage because the
oil companies don't give a living shit about aught but profits
and
they have
enough of the world's politicians in their pockets to ensure nothing
ever changes.
Stay frosty.

Okay, enough curmudgeonosity. Here's
something beautiful that makes my heart rise and cavort in ecstasy
every time I hear it. Believe me, these days, I need all Ii
can get.
