Driving the ribbons of highway in Oklahoma, Texas, and even California I have been glad I like country music. Near Apple Valley one day his show was on four of the five stations I could get.

I think Senator McConnell MAY have planned his excuse on January 9th when he wrote this in a letter to GOP Senators, "If the House votes to follow through with articles of impeachment against the president before Jan. 19 -- the day before Biden's inauguration -- the Senate will receive a message indicating that the House impeached the president while the Senate is in recess." All 100 senators would have to agree to conduct "any business of any kind" during the two pro-forma sessions to begin assessing articles of impeachment before the next regular session on Jan. 19, the letter states. He also wrote, ""Assuming such unanimous consent is not given, the following would take place under the Senate Impeachment Rules when the Senate resumes regular session on January 19," McConnell wrote. Therefore he knew the hearings could NOT take place before Mr. Trump was no longer President. IF so he was cunningly dishonest.

Did you hear Senator McConnell's statement? (posted above)

Feb 11, 2021 President Biden announced the administration had secured 200 million additional doses from Pfizer and Moderna to combat the coronavirus pandemic. This will be enough supply for 300 million Americans by the end of July.

I will wait to find out how this goes. And hope it goes well with vaccinations and such.

I'm not ready to have a discussion about President Biden today. Maybe a fellow nurse will want to discuss one of these issues and plans: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/

I don't know his biography. I do remember he was a young teen when his father was murdered after winning the Democratic primary. His cousin, Bob Shriver, is the same age. I've seen him when we both surfed and we smiled at each other a few times as he lives a few miles north of our home. I do NOT agree with his belief that vaccines cause autism. I wish he and MANY others could know truth from falsehood.

I do not remember Robert F. Kennedy Jr. running for office. He has neither been elected, nor appointed to political office.

Did I just hear one of former President Trump's lawyers say the House Managers waited too long to file Articles of Impeachment, AND they Rushed to impeach too soon? This young member of Congress was impressive to me. He seems to remember who sat in each seat throughout history. Rep. Joe Neguse, D-Colo., one of nine House impeachment managers prosecuting the case against former President Donald Trump, spoke Tuesday in a hearing about the constitutionality of holding an impeachment trial against a former president. Many Republicans have argued that the trial should not go forward because Trump is no longer in office, an argument that is a key piece of Trump's defense, but Democrats are arguing to proceed. Neguse noted precedents set by past impeachments, such as that of former War Secretary William Belknap, former Sen. William Blount, then-sitting Judge Robert Archbald and former District Judge George English. He argued that when the founding fathers wrote the Constitution they did not exclude public officials after they left office.

This was written by a NNU & CNA direct care RN and elected union president: I hope they help. This is a link to an old post I made about being asked to attend an arbitration.

Is this the one? That is my husband, daughter and the Brother-in-law who has since died. He was a retired airplane mechanic. and a good man, fun to be with.

Thank you Davey! I remember so many of your illustrations of your vehicle, colleagues and situations at work with empathy and humor. Thank Eleanor for letting you post her pictures. She is beautiful! Our youngest granddaughter is getting married this Summer. She and her intended gave permission to post their announcement photo below:

This photo of many family members was taken in 1942. The beautiful woman and good looking man sitting with their youngest child are my husband's parents. All these children and the oldest, who was in the army, were delivered by a lay midwife, who had been trained by one of the first licensed RN nurse midwives: https://frontier.edu/about-frontier/history-of-fnu/ Among those children's kids and grandkids are many health professionals, but the doctors are two of the then girls, who were teachers and earned heir PhDs in middle life. Several nurses, a radiology tech, a paramedic, and a respiratory therapist. We have two attorneys, a police officer, and a former criminal/drug addict, who are cousins. I grew up close to town In Oklahoma. Our family then had Negro, White, and Cherokee members. (Now the range in backgrounds is VERY mixed) My cousin, who was adopted, is Black and an ER doctor. His grades were better than 4.0. He didn't use the Native American scholarship his younger siblings did as he went through OU and then medical school with an academic scholarship. He liked ER because he liked being an employee with time of, even vacations. While most stayed in Oklahoma our nuclear family came to California when I was 12. Lost of trips to and from Oklahoma, and one wonderful family reunion on New Orleans along with emails and phone calls keep us close. One sister-in-law married a man in the Navy and lived with his parents in Mississippi while he was overseas. She developed a fear of White people during that time. She was the SIL who was rude to White people in our side of the family until she got to know us. I feel closer to her because if our relationship being difficult at first. I think most of us in the USA have to deal with racism because of our history. Following the Golden Rule is a simple way to treat each other, but not always simple to accomplish.

I believe I must shall not bear false witness against my neighbor. this includes forbidding bribery, forgery, libel, slander. It encourages telling the truth and nothing but the truth. I will leave punishment up to law enforcement, elected lawmakers, and pray for those who have to decide. Opinion by Jennifer Rubin We need to expand the notion of accountability for the Capitol attack As the shock over the attack on our Capitol wears off, blinding fury takes its place. The risk is not that we overreact but that we underreact. As a preliminary matter, we must reject the argument from defensive Republicans that their Big Lie about a fraudulent election is unrelated to the violence that ensued. Belief that the election was stolen was the driving force behind the mob on Jan. 6. And where did they get that idea from? The 126 House members who signed a brief seeking to overthrow the election; the efforts from Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) to object to the electoral college votes (even after the violence); talk radio figures who reinforced the Big Lie; Fox News hosts who played along to stoke the fire; and Newsmax and One America News, home to the wildest election conspiracy theories...

Three days before the protest that turned into the riot, Fox News host Mark Levin told viewers, "If we don't fight on Jan. 6 on the floor of the Senate and the House — and that is the joint meeting of Congress on these electors — then we are done." https://archive.org/details/FOXNEWSW_20210104_040000_Life_Liberty__Levin/start/147/end/220?q="January+6"

When I was a young woman I worked full time for the minimum wage, which was $1.25 an hour. Before taxes I made $50.00 a week. My rent on a one bedroom apartment was $50.00 a month. Where can a person earning $15.00 minimum wage live and pay $600.00 a month for rent?

If someone is interested in explaining how those members of congress are the same I would be interested in reading their thoughts.
