and now it is very quiet at the Falls...the cameras off for the season and the bears ready for hibernation...
In the rest of the world...the build-up between Palestine and Israel seems to have reached a head.
Face it...Israel has wanted to wipe Palestine off the map for a long long time...Hamas just gave them a viable excuse.
If you don't believe me...well...you just haven't been paying attention for decades.
Anyway...the weapons and tank build-up is terrible...the evacuations are only going to save a small percent...and before it is over I expect to see Gaza totally demolished.
I feel bad for both the Israelis and Palestinians who were just people trying to just go about the business of living their lives.
sigh
Which brings us to the US House of Congress.
Dear God what a cluster-fuck.
Seriously.
WTH???
Gaetz removes McCarthy for the unforgivable sin of reaching across the aisle to prevent the government from shutting down...
Then, Scalise and Jordan both toss their hats in the ring for Speaker.
Then, The Usual Clownshow of Boebert...MTG...Gaetz...and assorted other Republicans decide that Steve "I identify with Duke of the KKK" Scalise isn't
(...and I couldn't make this up...)
EXTREME enough!
(...what??? Was Pol Pot busy???)
and Jordan doesn't have near the votes
...thankfully...
So here we are...10 days out...and STILL no Speaker of the House.
Jefferies has 212 votes...I kind of hope 5 moderate Republicans cross over and he ends up with the Speakership.
Not only could we get back to getting shit done...but it would be delicious irony for Gaetz and his band of merry chaos-makers.
Now to get started on the house...so tomorrow can be all about football and food!
Ya Gotta Have A Plan.
Love,
Carla and Finn
