Good morning! I’m looking at the clock, and it is just a scant few minutes before 6:00 AM this Wednesday, 4 January 2023.
I’ve got y class starting at 8:00 AM, so I’ve got a little time to get my thoughts, act, and shit together. Coffee will start brewing in a few, and then I’ll have to make a decision about breakfast.
I start off the day watching the news, and I can be a little picky about my news channels. I don’t trust Fox news to tell me the truth, so I generally start with CNN. Yes, I know there can be a bit of a bias to CNN’s news, but as someone that leans progressive, I don’t cringe as much with CNN as I do with Fox or some of the other blatantly propagandist right-wing nut job “outlets”.
Yeah, I’ve got an “outlet”, too, and after I get a cup of coffee in me, I can drop an entire Newsmax morning broadcast into the toilet as part of the start to my day.
In other news, the GOP can’t figure out who the Speaker of the House is going to be. Kevin McCarthy (no relation to Joe, as far as I know) has lost three votes, primarily due to representatives of the far-right nutjob caucus that want to full cover-up of the January 6th Capitol attack, and they want an investigation into Hunter Biden’s laptop and all of the financial deals between Hunter, and his father, President Joe Biden. Funny how they want to investigate one presidential offspring, but when Jared and Ivanka were making deals worth hundreds of millions (billions, possibly, with the Saudis), it was business as usual. Hypocrites.
OK, time for me to get this in the can and get on with my day.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
