Well, we have records, and it shows we are warmer more often than we ever were. Not that we did not have hot days; there just were not as many. As an older person living in the same area, it's hotter; the weather is different, with more extremes.

McBride gained prominent media attention for representing high-profile clients connected to the January 6 U.S. Capitol attack. The circle always seems to be small in some ways, but we are finding the circle is actually huge.

Welker is not sitting at a table with Miller; she is standing, talking, and sharing something funny. As for attending events with others, I went to plenty with people I did not care for. I may have given a fake smile or a nod, but I walked away, particularly if they espoused dangerous ideology.

Rhonda W @rwl1.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

I mentioned in comments before that Miller would never give her anything worthwhile, so it was not necessary to do this. She should be smart enough to know that. These are anything but normal times; to normalize an interaction with Miller is unnecessary.

Miller did not attend a WHCD during Joe Biden's presidency. And they were not talking about people attending, though some mentioned they would not go at all, and some reporters did opt not to attend this year. They were upset that she was laughing, as if she was enjoying her interaction with Miller.

Let’s try a more relevant metaphor: I don’t accept the argument that if we eliminate insurance and pensions from our legislators, we’d be responsible for them quitting.

I can come to a studied conclusion: people have died, are dying, and will die without medication and food. I think that is all any of us really need to know. We could have helped; we could have stopped suffering, and we could have helped people live for very little money.

Rhonda W @rwl1.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Yeah, all that, and keep children & women from dying; we keep many diseases in check, which means they never get here, or only a few cases, and we know about it, so we stop it. And we save lives. Also, USAID helped our farmers, fed our children, and stocked our food pantries.

Surprised me that this was his take. Ian Arthur Bremmer is an American political scientist, author, and entrepreneur focused on global political risk. He is the founder and president of Eurasia Group, a political risk research and consulting firm. The founder of GZERO Media, a digital media firm.

Yeah, occurred to me as well. I have more problems with Miller, who really is an issue, whereas Platner is a flawed man without power. And then you have Edwards, who is an 'influencer,' maybe, a guy trying to make a living with an opinion, without any real power.

That does not really tie in with 'we don't have the right to exist', kind of a different conversation. By right, I infer, we exist, but that does not give us the right to exist; we just exist. Philosophically makes sense. The above is a different subject; we change, we do not stay the same.

I do not want to get into any more Middle East wars that cannot be won. This agreement includes a little more than normal, but it is also like all others: Israel gets into a war, even if they started it, and we have to go along for the ride. No.

Yes. I get it perfectly. I don't even think she supports him. But I think she is letting him and others think all is normal when it is not. And it will give her nothing to report. If she is smart, she knows that. If she is not, she should not be around Miller.

000

Rhonda W @rwl1.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

I know Miller; he will give her nothing, not a thing. So, do not make nice; it is not necessary, and it feeds the normalcy. This is not politics; this is not money for Miller. It is far more. And afraid of what? I am not who Miller is after, at least not on the surface, so no, I am not afraid.

Rhonda W @rwl1.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Everyone is entitled to make a living however they choose, and you are welcome to come or go as you want. "My side of politics" takes those who want to fight together against this regime as long as they are not assholes. And my side does not need to denigrate people who are not assholes.

He is not privileged, and race had nothing to do with what the reporter was doing or not. Everyone has a right to their opinions. His opinion was that this was wrong. He has the right to that opinion without you talking about him being white, male, or mediocre. Want to throw anything else in there?

Not reality. I was upset at first, but I did the research. I listened to what other people were saying: better no vote than a yes vote, and another republican would be put in his place. And the Governor cannot do anything at all, period.

The DSA organization has not said that. Nor have any of those running for office. They have only said that the genocide must stop. You are conflating individuals with an organization.

I am not sure what we do, but something needs to change. I could be wrong, but I think the news was what it was because the people doing the news had integrity. But teaching govt, how it works, in its entirety should be taught. And history, real history.

Bring back the Fairness Doctrine that Reagan scrapped in 1987. Stop licensing news as entertainment (Fox). If you call your show 'News' it MUST be news and use the Fairness Doctrine. Make Civics compulsory on the school curriculum nationwide.🙋
