    JFC, he was using health care reform during the last campaign more than 4 years ago. A few months ago, he was asked about it and said, "That is a project for my second term." And now he repeatedly says two weeks, two weeks. Two weeks from when? He never gives a clue as to what it is, just that "Obamacare is a disaster."

    Neither of those places could stand up to the pressure the US would put on them to send Trump back. Threaten to cut financial aid and military support to Israel and they fold immediately. Dubai you park a carrier just outside of UAE waters and freeze assets, they cave pretty fast.

    Lots of firefighters/EMS who work 24 hour shifts with paid sleep time, can make very little in hourly pay, but make up the difference with overtime after 40. Since many 24-hour shifts have a minimum of 48 and a weekly max of 96, excluding extra shifts. that overtime pay is considerable.

    It is even more during wildfire season when it isn't uncommon for firefighters to live at the station for a month of more, all on the clock. A nephew, who is a firefighter in the Air Force, is currently scheduled for two weeks on, one week off. During the height of Covid, he's in Italy, he was on the clock for 30 consecutive days, confined to base for a week, and then back to 30 consecutive days on the clock before doing it all again. He said made about year's worth of salary in three months.

    Sad news from a Black friend of mine. I asked if he voted and he said "Nah. Black people don't vote. They never listen to us."

    Unfortunately this is probably repeated among many POC. If they do vote, this would be a complete rout by Biden. I think he will win but perhaps not easily.

    North Korea! He can stay with his pen pal and he'll have a golf partner. Or was that his old man?

    He might keel over and die before the confirmation vote.
