An hour apart. Perhaps we should stop treating the mindless weathervane spinning in the breeze as if it has a clear strategic direction we can ascertain.

Another Monday morning we wake up to energy market turbulence.

After fossil fuel prices stabilised somewhat towards end of last week they are reaching new highs and could rise further.

Renewable electricity does not as the sun & the wind don’t care much for what happens in the Strait of Hormuz.

Honestly I’m not a morning person but I frequently have to get up quite early for work and I don’t need it to be light outside in the morning in winter! Would much prefer a little bit of sunlight after work

Some Cook County Board commissioners skip more than 20% of their meetings A WBEZ analysis of board meeting records revealed two incumbents with primary challengers scored among the worst truancy rates in this term.

Bridget Gainer missed nearly 1 in 4 board meetings β€” the second-worst attendance record among incumbent commissioners.

Cook County deserves elected officials like Drake Warren who will treat their position as their full-time job, not a side gig.

Which is why we should be moving to electrify everything. We have the technology and there is no longer any reason to rely on dirty and geopolitically sensitive fossil fuels

Republicans CHOSE to cut $1 trillion from Medicaid.
Β 
They CHOSE not to extend the ACA tax credits to keep your premiums down.
Β 
They said it was too expensive.Β

And yet, Republicans are completely fine with a reckless war with Iran that's costing billions.

Americans Are Now a Target in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown A WSJ investigation tracked the U.S. citizens caught in the crosshairs of an aggressive federal campaign to detain and demonize dissenters.

"The Wall Street Journal found that the Department of Homeland Security, created in 2002 to protect Americans, has turned its force against citizens."

Agree, but I think the fact that Rogan is so popular/influential has a lot of explanatory power when it comes to why America is such a disaster right now

Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, β€œThank you President Trump.” I have said, β€œYou’re welcome!” Iran is no longer the β€œBully of the Middle East,” they are, instead, β€œTHE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST,” and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
