Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

They got incensed because Jen Psaki dared to say that thoughts and prayers are not enough. Tass (Faux News) twisted her words, of course, and mean girl Leavitt excoriated her from her podium. How dare Jen suggest that something actually be done to stop the bloodshed?!?!? SMGDH

52 weeks at 40 hours at $7.25 an hour is $15,080 a year. $15,650 is poverty level. Congresspeople make $174,000 a year. Speaker Johnson gets $223,500. This does not include allowances. This is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how we have been robbed for years.

The politics and the music reflected the times, and I explained my choice in music for the lesson. Every time I taught that lesson, my students were stunned. That’s the kind of lesson I love to teach, because they truly learn and remember it.

No matter what the first-round choices were (launching always was laughed at heartily), the teams always agreed not to launch, thankfully. I noted that I went to college during the early 80s, when US-USSR tensions were extremely high. We weren’t entirely sure we’d be around the next day.

For the second round, each side sentenced 3-4 delegates for a summit. The group received a two-sided payoff matrix, giving a more complete picture of the consequences of their choices. I collected their decision as well. The background music: “Stand or Fall” by The Fixx.

During the first round, each side received a dossier with a one-sided payoff matrix. They would decide whether or not to launch their missiles at the other side. I collected their decisions. The background music was Talking Heads’ “Life During Wartime”.

Few of my students were even born before 9/11, much less old enough to remember the Cold War. I used to teach a lesson in game theory about mutual assured destruction. The class was split into Americans and Soviets.

…I can’t let it get me down or put me in a state of paralysis. I’ve even started a project I’ve threatened to do since I was 40 (I’m now 63). Now, the time is right. More on that as it develops. Chin up! Elbows up! Illegitimi non carborundum!

The TV is off, the music is on, and I am writing notes and programs. Life has to go on and I have to budget my time wisely. So, even though I feel this way about what’s going on…

I’m trying to budget my online time. I go back to the classroom in a month, so there is prep to do. Also, there are the usual chores, appointments, family time, and so on. I’m also trying to be productive and clear my head of the negative thoughts due to the current state of affairs.

I don’t recall ever seeing a quick panda. The ones I have seen have generally lolled around, chewing on bamboo. They don’t even seem to ever get in a rush to reproduce… or even try. 😂

For many people, student loan forgiveness, the Holy Grail of financial security for young adults, is not worth selling one’s soul for.
