From HCR: "By 1994, Robert Reich warned that the U.S. was “on the way to becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group of Americans left behind, whose anger and whose disillusionment is easily manipulated.” 1/3

"The fact that the U.S. Constitution and foreign affairs appear to be at the mercy of one man and the loyalists he has around him undermines the principles at the heart of our democracy. The fact that that one man’s mental acuity has collapsed is an immediate calamity." ~ Heather Cox Richardson

This from AgriPulse: Bob Stallman didn’t mince any words regarding his dislike for Paxton, in an op piece published in the Houston Chronicle. The former president of both the AFBF and the TFB said Paxton does not have the moral fitness to serve as a U.S. senator and he would not vote for him. 👇
Stallman makes case against Paxton in opinion piece
 
Bob Stallman didn’t mince any words regarding his dislike for Ken Paxton, the GOP candidate for U.S. Senate in Texas, in an opinion piece published in the Houston Chronicle yesterday. The former president of both the American Farm Bureau Federation and the Texas Farm Bureau said Paxton does not have the moral fitness to serve as a U.S. senator and he would not vote for him.
 
“Ken Paxton has the morals of a lizard, and that is probably being unkind to lizards,” he wrote. “He has proven to be corrupt. He has lied, cheated openly on his ex-wife and stolen.”
 
Stallman also took aim at Texas Farm Bureau for endorsing Paxton: “The bureau neglected to mention that Paxton has failed to publicly oppose a variety of policies that are actively harming farmers and ranchers, including the war in Iran and the import of foreign, unregulated beef into our state.” He also noted that James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for Senate, does eat beef, despite Paxton’s claim that his opponent is a vegan.

Diesel prices for week of Sep 14. Diesel prices impact all transportation - rail, container, barge, truck, vessel. Imports from Asia come through the West Coast. This will impact us all. Thanks to failures of this administration. They do not care - rising prices do not matter to the uber rich.

Memo to all Republicans, especially the administration: Biden isn't President anymore. Stop blaming him for your shortcomings. Your party controls everything. Your deflections are getting old. Do your job. Your job is to represent the American people, not doing whatever Trump tells you to do.

"The press only really pursues something if one of the two sides makes it an issue and the public isn't really going to tune in unless it becomes a live dispute... You have to capture people's attention. And you do that by making a scene."
