...and he is us."

This came to mind as a reaction to the failure of the proposed constitutional amendments granting abortion rights and legalization of recreational marijuana. It applies in a larger sense as well. We have crusades in the middle east, christian crusaders telling everyone what they can read and say, rewriting school textbooks, a colonial empire class of politicians, and predatory plutocrat rulers.

The issues haven't changed since I was a child. Their historical roots go back much further. I know this is no big revelation. I still wear my army ballcap everywhere to protect me from the western neo-barbarians. It's my talisman.

If you kill my relatives, I'm not voting for you. That's not hard to understand.

In my local politics, the racist County Commissioner got reelected. How do I know he was racist? He was caught on tape calling black people the N word. This wasn't one of those things which happened 30 years, it was within the last year. His opponent was a 19-year-old. Some people said they wouldn't vote for him because he had no "life experience." He would definitely get it being on the Commission. The meetings have been getting quite raucous lately with people being escorted out for having the audacity of challenging them. People are mad and they're starting to stand up. If it's happening here, I'm sure it's happening elsewhere.

I think that everyone I voted for lost.

two organizations and one person. The one person is Chuck Schumer (D Wall Street and Tel Aviv), who needs to go. The organizations are the DSCC and DNC. Guess I should add in DCCC also.

Does anyone know if Lauren Boebert won last night? I ask because her opponent was receiving NO support from the DCCC. None, as I understand it.

Consider the list of good, capable people who have been disrespected and disregarded by the national Democratic Party. Donna Edwards. Admiral Sestak. to name two who come immediately to mind. Ms. Edwards should be in Congress right now, working for the good of all of us. Guess she wasn't "sound" on Israel.

What I mostly take away from last night's loss is the public is fed up with the spending of our national wealth on foreign wars. As am I. If you are a member of the Middle European diaspora and you hate Russia, you need to understand that the rest of us Americans don't share your hatred, and we don't think we should be spending money on middle European or MidEast wars.

I was one of 14 people in our county to vote for Jill (out of about 13,000 votes cast).
