Maintaining Optimism
As suggested here, many of us face challenges. Some are personal, like substance abuse. Others are societal, like ignorance and hate.
Fortunately, the 9 AM Sunday sermon helps us keep a bright outlook.

Trump’s Not Backing Down
If you think that there is any conceivable event that could cause Trump to give up on this line, even his indictment, trial, conviction, and incarceration, you are sorely mistaken.
The only saving grace is the fact that his base of gullible morons who believe this bullshit grows a bit smaller with each passing day.
How Science Gets Done
Questioning existing scientific beliefs, forming new hypotheses, conducting experiments, analyzing the results, writing papers, subjecting them to peer review, and, if everything suggests that the findings are correct, publishing the new theory broadly….all of this is the way scientists do science.
Important note: This has nothing whatsoever to do with having auto mechanics, bus drivers, and real estate agents Google a certain scientific topic and come to their own conclusions.
Branding Based on the Second Amendment
Obviously, I’m thrilled that Boebert’s “2nd Amendment Cafe” failed. My only other comment is advice to people who brand their businesses in such a way as to alienate huge percentages of their potential customers. Don’t.
If you’re not a MAGA idiot, do you want to have a beer in a place surrounded by hateful, heavily armed morons? I understand that Boebert’s district in Western Colorado is one of the most poorly educated areas in the nation, but this was nonetheless a bad decision.

Elon Musk: Wow!
It’s amazing how Elon Musk’s antics have become an obsession, and how he’s made such a complete ass out of himself on the world stage.
The author of the meme here states what a great number of us are thinking.

Republicans and Election Denial
In case there is a single person on Earth to whom this comes as news, we in the United States are having a terrible problem with political actors from the Republican party who, when they lose an election, claim that the voting was somehow rigged against them.
At left is Kari Lake, would-be U.S. Senator from the state of Arizona, pictured here after a judge threw out her lawsuit attempting to overturn her election loss.
Check out that look! Only in America.
I’m sure she would have made an excellent lawmaker. If she weren’t completely insane, that is.

Barring Congressional Insurrectionists from Holding Office
Here’s a petition to bar the congresspeople who supported the insurrection from holding office in the future, per the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
FWIW, I signed it, even though I can’t imagine it will be successful, insofar as these traitors have not been tried and convicted, which, of course, they should be.

Can We Trust Clarence and Ginni Thomas?
Unfortunately, Clarence and Ginni Thomas, two of the most corrupt people in U.S. politics, are completely off the radar screen when it comes to criminal prosecution.
That they both are working to re-instate the traitor Donald Trump as the U.S. president is a concern to virtually no one.

Big Lie Trump Supporter Kari Lake Loses in Arizona
Are you trying to tell me that some woke pedophile commie radical couldn’t see that Kari Lake got cheated out of a U.S. senate seat?
Maybe this socialist sissy is one of the 61 judges who ruled that there was no massive voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

Why Dr. Jane Goodall Sees a Eco-Healthy Future
I listened to a recent interview in which anthropologist Jane Goodall laid out the three reasons for her overall optimism with respect to environmental recovery: the development of relevant technology, the inherent resilience of natural systems, and, above all, the fierce commitment of young people to protecting our ecosystems.
Sure hope she’s right.
