*  Chalk up another win for my team -  the robust system of checks and balances bestowed upon us by our superior ancestors. 

*  Do you think that the "stop the steal" protests will devolve into riots?  I don't.  I think that riots in the 2020 timeframe are typically a tactic of the youthful, spoiled, ill-behaved left.  I'm sure that there will be minor incidents, but nothing like this summer.

*  Local business - are you forum lefties looking forward to playing defense for 4 years?  I gotta say I'm looking forward to to having a more clear cut angle to articulate after Trump denied that to me for the past 4 years.  

*  Rod, are you going to apologize to ACB?  

*  Today is the first time in 100 years that the Old Oaken Bucket game between Purdue and Indiana is not being played.  They played through WWII.  The last misses were 1918 and 1919.  Isn't that amazing.  The last great pandemic.  War too of course, but I imagine the pandemic was the cause for the cancellations.  Here's some heartfelt thanks to the scientists, engineers, supply chain and distribution workers, health care professionals and of course public servants who have developed and are distributing such amazing  vaccines at such a pace.  That said, we are probably closer to collapse of the health care ICU system now than ever before.  Please keep wearing masks, distancing and working from home if possible.  I know quite well that none of these measures is all that effective, but effectiveness on the margins is critical now.

Big day ahead for me, so I won't be dialoging, but maybe tomorrow afternoon.  It's not like the Broncos are worth watching.

That doesnt mean it doesnt get mentions from the right. Talk is cheap, actions are not. So far the left overwhelmingly owns the violence and destruction arena......

You need to apologize to her for opining that she is a partisan hack who would refuse to do her job when the time came!

As far as I know those caught plotting against the Gov were dealt with appropriately.....as they should have been. So that is one failed plot attributed to the right out of how many instances of violence from the left? Hundreds?

He told me straight up one time that he'd rather go out shooting at the bad guys than wasting a round on his own head. The bad guys he was referring to were those that oppose Trump. He wasn't kidding. I've lost track of him over the past few years. I doubt he would do me, but I am exactly the type he was talking about. There are probably an alarming number of people like him, all with different back stories, that could go off at any time.
