3 Tidbits And An Assignment

February 25, 2024

THE TIDBITS

1. Would you expect a firefighter to run into a burning building to save a frozen embryo?  No need to click — the headline says it all.

2. Jimmy Fallon on Trump’s packed schedule (48 seconds).

3. You hear Trump and his crew saying “the economy’s a mess” when in fact it’s really strong or that he won the election (by a landslide!) — and you realize it’s all about the magic sneakers (3 minutes).


THE ASSIGNMENT

Read Blowback, the real story from deep inside the Trump administration, and then try to get as many people as you can to read — and share it — as well.   

> Those already with us will be reinforced as to the urgency of their efforts.  That can only help.

> Those not yet sure will be horrified by this this life-long Republican’s first-hand account.

> Those who think they’re sure . . . well, if you can find some way to get them to read even just the first chapter (ask them to read it and let you know where he gets it wrong, so you can better understand their point of view!), I perhaps naively think it could make a difference.  Don’t sell them short.


I wish the growing number of Republicans who admire Putin and would abandon Ukraine would watch this iconic two-minute clip and ask themselves: which side are they on?


No one’s asking us to make the sacrifices to fight for democracy my dad’s generation did.

Or to risk our lives as the colonists did in the American Revolution that birthed democracy.

Just to give money, listen to Lindsey Graham, volunteer, vote— and gift copies of Blowback to friends, colleagues, and family members willing to read the first chapter and provide their critique.

Quote of the Day

"Money is a singular thing. It ranks with love as man’s greatest source of joy. And with death as his greatest source of anxiety. Over all history it has oppressed nearly all people in one of two ways: either it has been abundant and very unreliable, or reliable and very scarce."

John Kenneth Galbraith, The Age of Uncertainty
