Just Mine Now

No intro needed for this piece. The title says it all. Interesting interview on MSNBC with Lawrence included with this op-ed. Simon Rosenberg says we've been beating the polls. He also talks about two kinds of polls, a good listen. -  My New MSNBC Op-Ed: "Biden's 2024 Chances Are Much Stronger Than People Realize" Several articles about the water. Food for thought, not so positive. -  Land of 10,000 Lakes: how Minnesota's most sacred resource made headlines 2023  Let's be real about this. Congress didn't because the GOP wanted unrelated additions like their uh vision at the border. Let's be real here. - Biden authorises final $250m aid package for Ukraine after Congress fails to approve more funds Biden Administration Takes Historic Step to Protect Old-Growth Forest Good read IMO, things many of us care about described here. -  2023 in Native environmental news

While I think Gay should be removed as president of Harvard, the GOP are playing games, acting like they are but really don't about the antisemitism that has arisen since 10/7. - Harvard under growing pressure over plagiarism allegations Reasons for using antisemitism changes to fit whatever situation according to this op-ed when an Lipstadt is asked about its rise. Let this sink in: " Like a virus ,  it intensifies at times of stress,"and is described as another form of prejudice. This stands out too: " the accuser is subjecting Israel to a standard no other country must meet...." A must read here.  - Opinion | Lipstadt "Antisemitism is like a virus for which there is no cure" A New Breed of Climate Protesters Vows to Take the Fight to US Political "Cowards" What a great idea! I love this! - How to inspire climate hope in kids? Get their hands dirty This does need to happen. Anyone who doesn't understand this is beyond help. Unfortunatel...

Surprised? You shouldn't be.Putin wants more control. Another reason why the last guy can't be in office again. He IS Putin's ally. - Bild: Russia may attempt to attack Europe next winter, European intelligence source says Makes a person wonder if they only post stories that they think are good clickbait. - 66 Good News Stories You Didn't Hear About in 2023 Good read, an important read. It may be opinion, but it is based on facts many of us already know as well as some we don't. - Opinion | The pieces are falling into place to conclude the Gaza war Been expecting this to happen. Now it's being said out loud. - Putin Suffered 'Big Strategic Defeat' in Ukraine War: Nato Leader Not surprising at all. They remind me of an incompetent, bumbling pack of fools. - House GOP traps itself in impeachment box.  Disorder explains Abbott's Texas government quite clearly. - State of disorder: Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott's latest demagoguery

Some serious food for thought, again showing the strength of President Biden to negotiate. - Report: Israel was about to 'preemptively' hit Hezbollah when Biden convinced it not to Glad to see this. Still I can't help but wonder we haven't gone one step further just like this. IMHO it's a threat, being used here in the US while protesters attack Jews here and their businesses. - Berlin criminalize slogan 'From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free'

Not a surprise though. "California lost more than 75,000 residents in the last year, according to the new census numbers." - California, New York in danger of seeing House delegations shrink further Glad to see this appeal. Whether this has any bearing on the permit is doubtful though, knowing how the courts have been ruling lately. Too many of what's his name's appointed judges fill those seats. But note this please: "' Studies show that Line 5 could be decommissioned with almost no impact on jobs, gas prices, or fuel supply.'"  As also said: " They are prolonging the danger of another oil spill in the Great Lakes, the source of 84% of North America’s surface freshwater."  And this: "' It’s important to remember that Enbridge does not yet have the final permit they need from the US Army Corps of Engineers to build the tunnel project.'" You'll have to read the article to find out more.   -   Statement: Four Michigan Tr...

Will those who have symptoms isolate themselves basically as suggested or will they spread the virus around the rest of us? Too many haven't gotten the most recent booster. - New COVID Variant Makes A Holiday Appearance: What To Know In CA Brief video worth watching.  Highlights from this past year.  - IllumiNative 2023 Sizzle Full It is needed, this wind energy. Unfortunately the electric companies still hone in on the costs to consumers. I know, subscribing to 100% wind energy. These electric companies are the most expensive. -   After a brutal 2023, offshore wind starts to overcome growing pains The actual documentary is not the first video on this page. It's the link before the text of this page. Unfortunately too made ads break up the video that can't be skipped. I mean really, 5 ads at the first break , 6 ads at the second break 5 ads at the third. Too many that are distracting and causing others to NOT want to watch this. Oh, come on, CBS! Lawsuits again...

Good news! After all the South did lose the war. - Judge says US Army can remove Confederate Memorial in Arlington Cemetery   Some food for thought: " Another lesson taught in Ukraine, and reinforced in Gaza, is 'that we must engage and win the information war.  This means dominating the news cycle, producing compelling visual content (think TikTok-style video) and putting forward competent, believable spokesmen.'”  - Opinion | Gaza and Ukraine are very different wars, but they teach similar lessons First thing I thought when hearing about this move by Abbott is he's copying what Arpaio tried to do in AZ. That didn't far so well. I don't expect this to either, that is if the SCOTUS isn't throwing their personal bias into this. Texas Republicans are mirroring their fearless leader, the twice impeached guy, saying only they can fix this border crisis. The usual lies are being told too. They sure aren't original in Texas. IMHO, it's their governor and...
