A new President

Today, Joe Biden is being sworn in as our new President of the US. After Jan 6's terrorist action by Republican thugs storming the Capitol, many people demanded tRump be prosecuted for egging the Republicans on to the terrorist actions. Here's my post from that horrible event.



But today hope is allowed to shine for a few moments. Hope that the healing Joe Biden talks about is possible. And hope that the pandemic can soon be controlled. And as one of the Women's March participants for a few years of tRump's presidency, I'm elated that Kamala Harris will be our new Vice President. 




Thought for the day

The main problem in any democracy is that crowdpleasers are generally brainless swine who can go out on a stage and whup their supporters into an orgiastic frenzy -- then go back to the office and sell every one of the poor bastards down the tube for a nickel apiece. -Hunter S. Thompson, journalist and author (18 Jul 1937-2005)

  5. Yes, this is the light at the end of a very long tunnel. And it's not an oncoming train!
    Maybe now we can get something done to help so many folks in need.
    Blessings to all!
