As JE said, riling up the Right is easy as shooting crackers in a barrel. The hubbub over the chain’s proposed signage revamp hasn’t done squat to improve the chain’s lousy grub. Took this shot on a bike trip to Asheville, North Carolina, when I was too tired find something actually edible.

GOP STILL trying to overturn elections - Dems aren't even allowed to ask for recounts, audits, investigations? Start shutting down HARD those who tell us "shhh" when we demand our rights as citizens. They have been sooo wrong in forcing demure behavior till now. Raise questions, call them out!

It’s my fault that I’ve lost access to www.combatvetsusa.org, our club’s page. Been trying to get it back from BlueSky — where I thought I had moved from GoDaddy for hosting. Clearly not. @pfrazee.com has said he could help. They’ve got bigger fish than idiots like me for sure. Still, what a pain!

I was made for this moment. So were you. We're the ones who are here. There's no one else. Freedom is counting on us. I'm glad. I'm up to it. What are we supposed to do, say we have bone spurs and let someone else bear the burden? Hell no. Too many people before me made the ultimate sacrifice.

“A lie believ’d only for an hour has done its Work and there is no farther occasion for it. Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after; so that when Men come to be undeceiv’d, it is too late; the Jest is over, and the tale has had its effect.” — Jonathan Swift www.nytimes.com/2024/12/02/u...

We’ll need action like this in the USA after Jan. 20: In the absence of government action, a citizen-inquiry into the Oct. 7 attack on Israel, “is a striking example of how civil society in Israel has increasingly assumed roles . . . typically performed by the government,” The New York Times says.

No argument that journalism is in a rough period, but you are way off base in saying no one is making a profit. To quote just one example: “During the first quarter of 2023, Gannett reported a profit of $10.3 million.”

Rain and colder weather are on the way, so Hazel and I made the best of a pretty Monday. We rode southwest through the mountains to Amicaola Falls near Dawsonville, Georgia. It was a perfect day for a hike to the falls.
