1. Heather Cox-Richardson last night. "HCR March 17, 2022"

   Among other news items she notes:

   Today’s other big news came from The Guardian’s Hugo Lowell: the report alleging that Trump lost the 2020 election because of Dominion Voting Systems—a report that Trump used to justify his attempt to overturn the election, including a plan to assume emergency powers—was not written by a volunteer lawyer after the election, as previously understood. In fact, it was written by a senior White House aide, Joanna Miller, who worked for key Trump advisor Peter Navarro. Navarro incorporated the Miller report into one of his own, which he and aides had begun to write two weeks before the election even happened.

   That is, it was the White House itself that invented the “report” that the election was stolen, even before the election took place, and then used that report to justify the Big Lie that 19 state legislatures have relied on to restrict voting.

2. Putin take note….

   "Armed peasants are no match against the mightiest of armies."        Mao Zedong

   1. I think you screwed up the quote, allyn.  Mao was the great advocate of armed peasants, unlike Lenin and Stalin, who saw the industrial proletariat as the revolutionary source.

      Mao would have said the mightiest of armies is no match for armed peasants.

4. Lauren Boebert was only one of eight total No votes (all Republican) for the Suspending Normal Trade Relations with Russia and Belarus Act. What an embarrassment for Colorado.

   1. Yeah, the no-mind, no-brain, contingent of the far right wing was out in force. Boebert, M. T. Green, Matt Gaetz (FL), and Andy Biggs (AZ) were among the 8 'no' votes.

6. A question to all of our Congresspeople (except Jason Crowe who can answer yes) – are you doing everything you can to get Ukraine the help it needs?

   20 years from now will you look back on what you did with pride?

      1. Sorry – have a friend with the last name Crowe and so keep getting it wrong.

         And yeah I'd take him over Bennet or Hickenlooper in a heartbeat.

         Maybe someday President Crow.
