Are some questions not allowed?

95 % of our mind resides in the subconscious.  We have the perception we are logical beings that must manage our emotions.  In reality, we are emotional beings that occasionally use logic.  Yet, we still run our lives and pretend we are logical creatures, and continue to rationalize our behavior as if our decisions are made rationally.  If we saw ourselves like we really are how would that change our self-perception of ourselves and others?

Biden has signed an executive order than covid relief dollars are only to be spent for goods and services made in America.  Find out why this hurts America.

There are currently nine countries with nuclear weapons.  That club in the next few years will probably expand by four new members, possibly more.   Compare the risks of a nuclear bomb exploding compared to global warming.   We do not currently have a political party that considers the reduction of nuclear weapons a worthwhile priority.

Ten inches of snow

That is what they said

But after three it stopped.

And the wind blew it into piles

Covering up the dog bowl

That the neighbor’s cats drink water from.

The next morning the old man stumbled down the porch steps

Twisting his knee on the dog bowl hidden in the snow.

Over his objection, his wife dropped him at the hospital door on her way to tennis,

In ER he was fussed over by a nurse half his age.

Over the months

Bagels and coffee

became their ritual every Friday

While his wife played tennis

And he served aces

Under the shade of a tree with a lady half his age.

One Friday on a walk

She wrapped her smile in the twinkle of his eyes

And their hugs intertwined with lips.

He stayed in denial for several months

til one day coming down the wooden steps

He saw the dog bowl under the porch and told his wife

“I never saw it coming,

One bagel at a time,

But I often wondered if it would have happened if it snowed ten inches,

But I often wondered if it would have happened if it snowed ten inches.

I Hate Mondays

It’s Sunday night

I’ll stay up too late

Avoiding Monday

Which is like waking up

In your bed and finding a cyclops

And not knowing if she’s done away with your wife

Or you are seeing your wife clearly for the first time.

And as if dealing with a cyclops is not enough

Your boss will want to know where the report is

The report due last Friday.

All in all, it is better not to go to sleep

Better not to go to sleep Sunday night.

WASHINGTON – A group of 10 Republican senators called on President Joe Biden to consider a smaller, alternative Covid-19 relief proposal as his administration works to pass a $1.9 trillion package to address the economic fallout triggered by the pandemic.

In a letter to Biden on Sunday, Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Mitt Romney of Utah, Rob Portman of Ohio, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and five other lawmakers said they would unveil their proposed legislation on Monday.

The senators laid out the following details of their plan:

On Sunday, Portman told CNN’s “State of the Union” that the proposal would be a slimmer version of what was presented by the Biden administration.

Now the question is this "how important is it to start the new Congress out with a bipartisan approach to governing?"  

A poem by James Tate, "The Book Signing".

"The Nation State basic law, enacted in 2018, enshrines the Jewish people’s right to self determination to the exclusion of all others. It establishes that distinguishing Jews in Israel (and throughout the world) from non-Jews is fundamental and legitimate. Based on this distinction, the law permits institutionalized discrimination in favor of Jews in settlement, housing, land development, citizenship, language and culture. It is true that the Israeli regime largely followed these principles before. Yet Jewish supremacy has now been enshrined in basic law, making it a binding constitutional principle – unlike ordinary law or practices by authorities, which can be challenged. This signals to all state institutions that they not only can, but must, promote Jewish supremacy in the entire area under Israeli control."
