As always, our friend Keith puts into words what many of us are thinking and feeling. Please pay special attention to his final paragraph, for these are the questions we need to be asking, and the issues on which we need to hold our elected representatives accountable. As always, thank you Keith!!!

We should have another warm day here, so walking may make us “glisten,” a word my wife uses for perspiration. So, as we glisten on our walk about, let me share a few of my wandering thoughts.

The votes from yesterday’s mid-term primaries are being tallied, so I will save commentary for another day, with two exceptions. With almost 100% of the votes counted, it looks like Rep. Madison Cawthorn will be unseated in his first election as an incumbent. His failure to: realize on three occasions a driver needs a driver license, understand he cannot carry a weapon onto a plane on two occasions, appreciate claiming your Republican colleagues are having orgies and coke parties is not the way to make friends, and recognize that not doing much of anything other than abet the former president’s Big Lie and insurrection of Congress is not conducive to good governance.

  1. Jill, and friends, I just left this comment on Keith’s post, but thought it important to move it here. It is a bit long, but I think it is urgent that everyone read it. This coming election is bigger than anyone thinkss:

    I know, being Canadian I do not understand American politics. But that does not mean I do not understand “right wing” from “wrong politics”! Becky is correct to question using her vote, I myself have not voted in over 40 years of elections in Canada because that was the last time I WAS GIVEN A RESPONSIBLE CANDIDATE TO VOTE FOR!
    But having said that, we have never had a VOTING ISSUE AS IMPORTANT AS ROE v WADE. I do not think Americans realize yet how important this issue is! Repealing Roe vs Wade seems a simple thing, should women be able to choose to abort a pregnancy. But the real issue is, DO WOMEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE CONTRIBUTING CITIZENS IN AMERICAN SOCIETY? Does anyone not white evangelical abd male belong in American society?
    Taking away body autonomy is tantamount to the first step to taking away EVERY RIGHT WOMEN HAVE WON IN THE PAST 100 plus YEARS 9F SOCIETY. Lose the right to choice, and women will soon lose the right to vote. If Americans cannot see that, if they think that can never happen, they are being blinded by all the Republucan Rhetoric.
    This upcoming election in 2022 could be THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION EVER IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICA, and this is the rallying cry ALL NON-REPUBLICANS HAVE TO SCREAM FROM EVERY ROOFTOP AND POLITICAL PODIUM!
    SAVE WOMEN’S RIGHTS! SAVE ROE v WADE! SAVE MODERN SOCIETY! If I were American, EVEN I WOULD BE VOTING IN 2022. If you do not, and if you do not utterly destroy thr Republican Party, say goodbye to Women’s Right, to Black abd other Coloured Peple’s Rights, to LGBTQ+ Rights, to Universal Marriage Rights, and literally give America to WHITE EVANGELUCAL MALES and the women who want to be cattle. Because that is what Election 2022 is really about!
