If Elon Musk has $366M to bolster Republican Party in US midterm elections, he’s got $366M to pay in taxes. $366M would go a LONG way to providing needs services to Americans who can’t afford to buy a Senator. aje.news/3c1kq7

Elon Musk spends $366m to bolster Republican Party in US midterm elections
The barrage of spending comes as Republicans fight to overcome Trump's slipping popularity and cost of living concerns.

This should scare everyone, including every Republican & Republican Congressional member. If Trump is this ignorant we are in big trouble. On the other hand, if he's lying, the problem is just as severe, meaning he knowingly is ignoring the assistance China is giving to Iran, weapons & intelligence.

I think I have over 45 carvings so far. We've run out of wall space between bookshelves and carvings. I'm finishing up my hiking stick tomorrow. Should have photos by end of week to show.

I'm so far behind. I was upset that hamburger was $8.99 a pound. We just came out of the grocery store, a Kroger low price store, and hamburger is $10.99 a pound. They no longer have 3 lb packages. They dropped it to two lb packages. Then they increased the fat content from 20% to 25%. Cheaper.

Gov. Mikie Sherrill says Democrats haven't been effective — and she's holding up NJ as a model for how they can do better. She’s calling for a "new generation of leadership" to break with the party's old habits. She also acknowledged she has fielded calls about a presidential campaign of her own.

Mikie Sherrill wants a new generation to lead Democrats. She’s getting calls.
The first-term New Jersey governor wants to see a new generation take command, and that may include her.

I shake my head when I see people who think that the Constitution will come through and save them. No it won’t. It’s been hijacked by Trump and it’s his ticket to avoid prison, while he turns it against American citizens.

I don't get it. They literally want to kill them in the ER. They want to put him in prison for life for a miscarriage. They literally want to take away their vote, permanently. They abuse their kids, including sexually, a rape culture. They don't want them to work, and they still vote for them.

Trump’s inability to bring the Iran war to a close has left him incensed but also oddly paralyzed ... An adviser, said that Trump “is used to snapping his fingers and having the whole world—Republicans, world leaders, the media—come to attention, and he is losing his mind that Iran won’t listen.”

Hilarious. He has been saying this for 12 years and still hasn't got a framework of a concept of a healthcare plan. The only way you can take it away from the health insurance companies is to make Medicare for all. Anything else is a lie.

STREET PROTEST- VOTE BLUE THEME: END THIS NIGHTMARE My wife I were out on day 8 of 8 to get out the vote. It was a bodacious superfragilistic success. The entire 16 lane intersection was lit up in a cacophony of horns. I love this setup because MAGA driving by have their tails between their legs.

Zoom into my carving to see the detail of serpents done in Viking theme. You can also go online and find photographs to get your detail. Here is one of my favorite carvings of serpents, a door panel on a Norwegian Church from 1600 carved in 1/4 scale. Seven layers of serpents and Vines intertwining.

Yes, the Osberg ship. Get this. My mentor for Viking carving was the guy who was selected from the entire world to carve the replica. Marine carpenters built the replica using hand tools & old techniques. Took them over 2 years to build the ship. Actually put it in the water. It's now at the museum.

I love copper. I love how it works. I love adding color. Looks awesome. Here is a bracelet done in silver a mentor of mine in Haida and Salish carving, Steve Brown. Bought this for my wife about 10 years ago. Imagine what it would cost now.

Yes, that's the one I thought I would do in 1 hour and it took a week. If you want to see detail, here is a viking carving that took 2 mm chisels to complete. The right side is the bow, left side the stern of a Viking ship discovered in Norway, in a burial mound from 800 AD. Original 15 ft high.

Trump's quotes: Things "are fine and dandy." "It's a small price to pay." "I don't care about the economic conditions [of my constituents]." This is unsustainable. Consequences happening. Is going to get worse. Okay

Cool. Yes, dragons will do. I messed around a little bit with sandblasting glass images. It's something I would like to explore more. Holds incredible detail. I carved some jewelry for my wife. I thought I could do it in 1 hour, it took me a week for one piece. Use a pin vise to hold work.

Every tooth is cut on a scroll saw by hand. You can't make a single mistake, not even the angle of each tooth. Probably close to 800 teeth on this one clock.

You saw the child's pose carving I did in Walnut. I used some of the Walnut for the base of an epicyclic clock I built. Similar to a rear end differential on a truck, one gear circles around another gear & another one circles inside the gear. The circular inserts are made of Walnut also. Infinity.
