“We all know who Donald Trump is. The question we have to answer is who are we.” — Biden at Valley Forge.
Just the name "Conservative Ladies of Washington" cracks me up. Doesn't anyone else remember "Ladies Against Women"?
They had a choice--they could have gone with "Conservative Women of Washington," "CWOW" for short. "See-wow," I like it, makes me want to join right there. But they went for "CLOW." "See-low"? Boring.
At least they didn't choose Conservative Citizens of Washington. That would have been "Sea-Cow."

Washington State, like others, is considering phasing out diesel school buses and replacing them with zero-emission buses. Diesels emit greenhouse gases, nitrogen compounds, particulates, bad for the planet and kids. Electrics are clean and cheaper in the long run. Who could be against that?
Conservative Ladies of Washington!
Why? Probably because the Dems are for it--what anthropologists call "schismogenesis," doing something different from the other guys just to show you're not them.

January 6th is the day we all get together as Americans and say with one voice: Trump lost.
I have a ton of housework to get going on, plus I should really get dressed -- but the cat is resting her head on my lap, and transitioning from purring to sleeping. Guess I'm stuck here.

President Biden @POTUS
My Administration has cancelled student debt for 3.6 million people through various actions, bringing the promise of higher education to more hardworking Americans.
And we’re going to keep going.

Buying an EV just got more affordable
The clean vehicle tax credit, which offers up to $7,500 toward a new electric, hydrogen, or plug-in hybrid vehicle, and up to $4,000 for a used one, is now available as an instant rebate at approved dealers.
We danced in the New Year shortly after midnight, went to bed, got up, and did it again. And got home with just enough time to cook black-eyed peas with greens.

Texans (poor and middle class) actually pay more in taxes than Californians in the same income bracket. High income earners are the only ones that pay less taxes. Do not let the politicians tell you otherwise. #taxes #politics #texas #California https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/texans-pay-more-taxes-than-californians-17400644.php

I hate that I'm so used to the electoral college I hardly even get outraged by it anymore. It's such an idiotic system. We criticize other countries' elections, but is there any other country where you can lose the election and still win?
