Some BOOKS are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. -Francis Bacon

How very true I would add some should be spit out Mein Kampf being the best example. Mr Bacon to me is a famous Philosopher and I've read some of his primary work. Cool Dude check him out.

Heard about this on the @hartmannreport.com I really cannot wrap my head around the fact that there is ZERO pushback in Red States. We had a ballot initiative in Florida to overturn the ban and it got 57% to protect women's rights, 3 points short of passage.

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it.
This is the precedent.

Today I’m endorsing @benwikler.bsky.social for DNC Chair, because if 2024 taught us anything, infrastructure alone won’t win elections.

Dems proved we can out-raise, out-knock, out-text, out-call. It wasn’t enough. Ben gets the full scope of the fight ahead. Let’s build a DNC that fights for you.

Catch all article of Wildfire Issues, I recommend a full read, as there are about 5 different aspects to this story that are covered, gave me a lot of perspective. Biggest takeaway fire hydrants are to fight a house fire or a mall/apartment complex, not a wildfire, www.latimes.com/environment/...
Why hydrants ran dry as firefighters battled California's deadly fires
Firefighters in Pacific Palisades and Altadena have repeatedly been hampered by low water pressure and dry hydrants, revealing limitations in local water systems designed to supply neighborhoods.

As the word is not getting out in December the Biden administration had asked Congress for about $40 billion for the relief fund but the bill eventually passed provides a lower amount, $29 billion. This is what we have in reserve for the Wildfires.

What coverage do all members of Congress have? I know it is a lot better than my Florida Medicaid coverage where I am in a months long fight to get syringes to inject B-12 every 2 weeks. My company won't pay 50 cents a month to combat my deficiency of this mineral.
