HELL YES….About the percentage of white women who voted for Trump and/or believed him, after his apparently uncontrollable habit of lying.  Now, it’s said federal restrictions on abortion may be next.  I do, however, appreciate the number of black women who voted for Harris

POUT?

Not enough time to comfort myself.  And unable to choose one battle.  Can’t give up transgender, climate change, refugees, corporations as individuals,  gun control, and racial injustice.  I can’t touch Putin, Ukraine, Mazda and Israel, and nuclear anything, so I won’t even try. (I’d cry.)

NOTE:  I do want to strongly refer you to Diane Ravitch’s blog today–maybe yesterday–featuring a re-blog of Greg Olear: The Grim Reality Begins to Set In.

AGHAST!  What with all the crooked, destructive things AI has caused via the internet, I see on Google you can get your toe in the door for free, but bewarned:   While there are free AI resources available, it’s essential to assess whether the quality meets your standards. Many times, when you pick free options, you may compromise functionality, reliability, and user support.

NAIEVE?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 I thought hispanic Americans would oppose Trump, since he has threatened to bomb Mexico, but I must be naive, in addition to everything else.  Perhaps the hispanics along the Texas border with Mexico who switched party preferences in the very recent election  (to Republican) have become alienated from their natal relationships, or didn’t read about Trump’s words during a campaign rally at the Van Andel Arena on July 20, 2024 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, as covered by a number of different sources, without much feedback.   There is every reason to take Trump’s proposal seriously, according to https://www.vox.com.  “Presidents tend to at least try to deliver on campaign promises, and they have nearly unlimited war-making power nowadays. As unthinkable as it may sound, there is a reasonable chance the United States will be at war on its southern border in the coming years if Donald Trump returns to office.”  (Read “if” as “when”)
