Some interesting stats coming from these polls...

Please, no

What if every time a Republican politician breaks with the President and his unelected handler we send them a thank you message..

I've had a few bio disposable straws. They work for me. Donnie must suck extremely badly

As I've said before DEA or Equal Employment or whatever you want to call it has been going on as early as the 70s. It's not new, a few groups who weren't recognized then are now included. The pansy MEGA's are just upset that more qualified people are getting jobs that the thought they should just be handed to them

He promised he'd solve all those problems day one. Now he's kicking the can down the road. Wasn't that he was accusing Biden of doing. With Donnie it's always an excuse.

I'm wondering if right now it's difficult for reporters to get trans people to commit to an interview. And if it is that should be included in the story

I've found with classes there is some degree of accountability. Last year I took Pulmonary Rehab for my IPD, it was a good start for me. In the early fall, my wife started water aerobics at the local Y (free thru AARP) both going together allowed me to keep up with the needed aerobics. When she paused for knee replacement surgery and follow up PT, the timing didn't work for me (too short of a waiting period from dropping her off to picking her up) and I fell out of the habit. Now we're back to the Y a couple of days a week.

I'm old enough to remember that during the mig 1970s and even into the 80s and early 90s radio and tv stations were required to document on their license renewal applications efforts they were making to hire women and minorities in key roles. I was instructed to begin looking for an African American news announcer who "didn't sound black". And a woman announcer, probably for mid days or over nights. When I was doing traffic in the late 80s, I had a program manager on one of my affiliates tell me while I was doing a good job, he needed a woman so his "morning zoo" didn't sound like a homo club. He was right but at the time my "white male" ego was bruised. I was also probably too old for the format as while. It's been around for a while. One party just added it to their list of conservative media grievances.

When you elect a moron...

And the current folks are taking it too far the other way imo https://apnews.com/article/dei-purge-images-pentagon-diversity-women-black-8efcfaec909954f4a24bad0d49c78074 Just one small example. Deleting history

On March 7, 1876, 29-year-old Alexander Graham Bell receives a patent for his revolutionary new invention: the telephone. The Scottish-born Bell worked in London with his father, Melville Bell, who developed Visible Speech, a written system used to teach speaking to the deaf. In the 1870s, the Bells moved to Boston, Massachusetts, where the younger Bell found work as a teacher at the Pemberton Avenue School for the Deaf. He later married one of his students, Mabel Hubbard. 1936 https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history

I wonder how many people who have cruise ship reservations for Friday morning are pissed off because their flight into Miami or Fort Lauderdale has either been cancelled or delayed til Friday.

Waiting for the announcement that Camp Peary will be turned into a theme park

It's now known as State Media to the current Administration

Small victories

Just remembering the immortal words from Nikita Khrushchev, "We will bury you" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_will_bury_you While Khrushchev was talking about Communism, Putin takes the phrase seriously with his Oligarch society. Or to quote the Borg Nation, "You will be assimilated" thanks to Trump and company
