As far as I know Juan Guaidó is still considered the 'interim' President of Venezuela by Washington. Do you know who doesn't consider Juan Guaidó Venezuela's president, politician, or anything else for that matter? Venezuela's political opposition party.

Wish everyone a great weekend of celebration of their choosing. Mine will be surrounded by those I care about, more food than necessary, reflection of past year and future plans.
Happy Friday everyone. Post any photos, memes, or music you like.
“Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2023, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. And without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee. By accepting these greetings you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for herself or himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.”
To paraphrase, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone.

Was it your day you got word the draft ended? Your child was born? Your cancer was in remission?
How about, the book you finished reading that changed your life forever? Or, that song you heard on the radio that got you hooked on the blues?
Mine was around my 30th birthday when my Dr. told me I had achieved 100% liver function, and had no further need for treatment.

Today, Thurs, 22 Dec 2022, is dastardly cold in the PacNW.
Let's compare two sets of headlines. One set from September, at the end of the 2022 primaries...
...and one set from mid-November, at the end of the 2022 general election.
