Happy Friday firsties, Gerbil Nation!

I need to wrap up all my tasks for the end of the learning period by COB today. I’m living the dream.

Good morning, Paddy -- good luck wrapping up.

SoCal Edison gave us a call at 1:30 this morning to tell us that our power was on. Of course no one ever panics when your phone rings after midnight.

That was awfully nice of them. Perhaps you could return the favor -- maybe give the CEO a call at a similar time to tell him you’re glad your power is back on.

Harris campaigned for about three months and got almost 70M votes or about 23M votes per month of campaigning. Imagine if she had been out there as the candidate for the whole year -- she would have easily swamped Trump.

What’s stunning is the number of pundits that really thought she was great and going to win.

Are those the same pundits that told us for four years that Biden was sharp as a tack, hard working, and at the top of his game?

Pretty much -- but you would have thought, naively, that after the Biden debate that a little skepticism over what the left was selling might be a good thing.

Yah, you would think that. I wonder how many actually believed what they were pedaling and how many were just trying to create the result they desired?

I’m with you, Mac. I was really expecting a repeat of 2020. If Trump can surround himself with the right people, we could be looking at 12 years of improvement in the state of government and the lives of the citizens.

Agree and agree. Trump, for all his flaws, is a quick study and now he knows how the game is played.

I was amazed as well.

A friend of mine from church, who also happens to be a chaplain at a local hospital, posted the following on FB on Wednesday (yes, she’s a huge Lefty):

“Don’t let politics ruin your relationships”

It’s funny how this is almost always said by the same people who voted against your rights.

I don’t feel comfortable around you. The person that you voted for is homophobic, racist, and hates women and none of that was a deal breaker for you. It IS personal. We have a difference in morals and I do feel differently about you.

You cannot tell someone you love them and then try to take their rights away.

It’s astonishing that people really do believe this nonsense. It’s also disheartening that she so easily discards the tenets of her faith when it suits her.

Yeah, not very Christian of her.

I like posting a picture of a mirror after such posts with the caption “There… fixed it for you!!”
