Running Wrap Up, 2024
Not as good as 2023; ran less miles, slower, with less elevation. But, as a result, I had few injuries (the plan).
Total Miles: 2,180
Miles Per Week: 42
Speed: 10:40 a mile
Always thankful I can still run, since at 58, any injury or worse could put an end to it for good.🙏

Wow, what a W!
China agrees to purchase, for the next three years, precisely what it bought from the US the three years prior to Trump coming into office!
Right back to where we were. It's an economic coup! What a deal maker Trump is!

"I told a degree in welding from Harvard"
Trump on Harvard: "We reached a concept of a deal but it's pretty complicated bc under this deal it would be $500m, they're gonna open up trade schools. I love the idea of trade & trade schools by Harvard. You know, they get into like a vocational-type school... we may just charge them a $500m fine"

How does Johnson say that and not spontaneously burst into flames?
Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

So she's saying if you look "different" from the standard white man, there's reasonable suspicion and that this makes it protected by the 4th Amendment. Ooooooh kay.
McLaughlin: "Pritzker said there's racial profiling, which is absolutely false. Our officials use reasonable suspicion. That's protected under the US Constitution 4th Amendment."

I understand why you frame your remarks as speaking for Illinois: “Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.”
Well said.
But you’re one of the few rising to the occasion, and the times require more than speaking for your state.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

"Who knows" Vance says. Well, they do know. The answer is in the files they refuse to release.

Zero % chance Trump wrote this. Lots of tell-tale signs, but the clear evidence is the claim at the bottom that he thought Elon's choice for NASA was an inappropriate conflict of interest. Trump wrote that? Puh-lease.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

According to the GOP, 12 million people are in their Mom's basement collecting Medicaid and refusing to work. Who is stupid enough to believe this?

It's cute how the media ask Trump questions like "have you made up your mind" as if Trump operates from a set of principles and then engages in reflective deliberation to reach decisions.
Q: Have you made a final decision on what to do?
Trump: I have ideas as to what to do. I like to make the final decision one second before it's due
