I have no love lost for James Comey as he single handily turned the 2016 election to the felon. Still, I hope he can embarrass the felon once again as he persists with his life long redemption arc.

I made 8 pounds of sauerkraut today. It’ll be ready to eat in about a week. 8 pounds of shredded cabbage 4 tablespoons of kosher salt 2 tablespoons of caraway seeds Mix together in a big bowl, let wilt for 2 hours, occasionally tossing, then pack into a big jar. Burp the jar twice a day.

I’m really worried that my state, Wisconsin, is going to be an exception to the midterm’s blue wave and become the Midwest Mississippi. So much money is being dumped into this state for advertising that lies about democratic candidates.

Still worried but I’m hopeful. My very white republican majority neighborhood has very few yard signs for republicans, even in most of the front yards that had signs in the past.

Also, she got out before she could be any significant party to a trump crime… and before her face turned into a Mara Lago face.

As far as I'm concerned this is a single issue midterm election. Get rid of all the #Republican on the ballot from the Congressional races down to the dog catcher. 🗳️🇺🇸

Hot day today. We’re close to a record high temperature, 86 degrees. Later this week, highs will only reach the 50s.

Always the question: what would have happened if President Obama or President Biden said what the felon said and did what the felon did?

Please, seniors, SS and Medicare, the financial stability you rely on, was put in place by democrats and continues to be a Democratic Party priority.

The $90 one time Medicare bribe thing just showed up as pending in my bank account. I’m still voting for Democrats, up and down the ballot. Shows how massively out of touch the felon and his GOP cult are. And, if $90 is going to change your vote to republican then YOU ARE A FOOL.

Bumper crop of walnuts from my 2 black walnut trees. I’ve never had so many to clean up and there are not enough squirrels around to stash them away. Except for the fall nut cleanup they’re really great trees. But, every tree has some cleanup, and reproduction is messy, no matter the species.

In spring and early summer it’s always fun to see where the squirrels have hidden a walnut. My gardens would be overrun with walnut trees if I didn’t weed them out.

I have a garden/utility trailer that’s 32 cubic feet, so a little more than a cubic yard. The trailer was filled with walnuts.

I just found out my youngest niece had a miscarriage, would have been her third child. Obviously, for anyone with human empathy a terrible sad thing. I’m glad she lives here in Wisconsin where she does not have to endure a murder investigation.

So democrats here’s the approach: 1. Win in November 2. Democratic speaker in January 2027 3. Impeach and senate convict the felon and J.D. Shit Stain 4. Speaker becomes president 5. Impeach and senate convict the 6 republican scotus justices. 6. Pass legislation so this never happens again.

Polls don’t vote. People do.

🚨 Democrats have opened a nearly 9-point lead over Republicans in the congressional polling average. Polls don’t vote. People do. Nov. 3: Turn momentum into action…show up, vote, and make your voice impossible to ignore. #VoteBlue #USDemocracy #RisingBlue www.realclearpolling.com/polls/state-...

I really do wish that every election has not become the most important one in my lifetime. Please, everyone, make a plan, commit to yourself, family and community that you will vote and that your vote will count.

The republicans are putting 10s of thousands of people in concentration camps, trafficking people to foreign countries, taking away peoples rights/freedoms, making people sicker, starting wars, I could go on and on. Maybe it’s just me but there is no amount of economic prosperity that excuses that.

Republicans also want the US to be a Christian theocracy. (I do wonder what most republican Christians will do when they realize they are the wrong kind of Christian.)

Our vote is under attack. So don’t wait until Election Day. Check your registration. Know your polling place. Make a plan. VOTE EARLY. They’re counting on confusion, delays and people giving up. This is not the election to wing it!!! #GetReadyToVote

We’re not getting $5,000. And, anyway, anyone who thinks getting $5,000 as payment for what’s happening to America and for that to continue is without any doubt… stupid.

I was at work. About an hour after the second plane hit we were asked to shut down PCs and office technology and go home, if we could. Those who could not, mostly due to unavailable transportation, were given clear instructions on how to remain safe. An abundance of caution.
