It is easy to get into a groove and seek validation with sources that meet your bias. I am just as guilty of this by listening to things like talk radio and podcasts. I do this sometimes because I wonder how or why some event is going to be spun.

Of course, I was interested about whether they were getting equitable treatment in the clean-up efforts as well as whether Helene was as bad as I imagined. I suspect that it was worse because things look alright considering the amount of work that was still being done.

There are a lot of movies where I think, I'd like to see that. Ken Burn's The Vietnam War is one of those. I have watch his Civil War series many years ago. This is less of a review of his work than an analysis of what we as a people should learn from Vietnam. I consider myself fairly well versed but I learned quite a few things from this. To be honest, nothing should be a surprise but I have been fooled by the Team America propaganda over the years.

I am relatively sure that we can take this little story and overlay it over other things that are going on to make a parable more relatable. Tune in today to find out what those cities did and what we can learn from it in other contexts.

I don't exactly know who this person is, but the writings are fire. I saw this reposted on MeWe the other day and I have been forming my own opinions about the massive changes going on at the federal level of government with amazement. Trump and DOGE have a demolition crew at the base of dam. When they finally destroy the foundation, they will probably get crushed in the force of the flood and debris but the impossible is beginning to happen.

Today I break one of my guidelines about bringing up politics midweek. But, this is less about the topic and more about me being upset about what transpired. Sure I made some mistakes by participating and was a contributor to the argument. Today, I talk about why I am so upset and what I am going to do about it. And yes, I am starting to feel better.
