Okay last chance.

House of the Dragon was on Last night. So happy I watched it. George is involved in the show and my humble opinion it was great. More brutal to my liking but Game was always more brutal.

Today I get a call from a "Friend" who indicated she is never going to watch another Show with Game of Thrones involvement because it is too liberal and have woke agenda.
I prepared myself and she went on how the Birth scene was a liberal plot design to scare woman into wanting abortions.

I let her have it. I explained that the scene was probably filmed months ago or even a year before Roe v wade was decided or leaked. I explained that the scene was a true depiction of how dangerous childbirth truly was and in fact that was how c sections had been done as a last resort that killed the mother. She also thought I was nuts that Game of Thrones and Martin's world wasn't based on the Middle Ages that there is no country ever named Westeros.

I then told this woman that the people and places are fiction but based on history. I explained that Game was based on the English Civil War.

She said England never had a civil war.

I told her shut off Faux news and actually look up history or better yet go back to school and actually learn something.

I hung up on her and I feel bad that I didn't try to be more patient.

I understand the intelligence committees of the House and Senate want an assessment BUT

We need to have an assessment done of what Intelligence damage Trump's stash have or could do to our allies. We owe it to our allies to if their intelligence was compromised by Trump. I am sure our allies have done their own, but we also need to do that.

I don't see Ivanka or Jared staying in the country much longer.

They are separating themselves from "The Family" I am expecting Ivanka to decline Secret Service details and to suddenly disappear from the US and go to live in another country that does not have US extradition. I see this happening in the next 3 months.

They have 2 billion dollars. They probably gave as much information as they could to our adversaries, and I think we are going to find She and Jared had been the masterminds of a lot of the policies during the Trump administration. She knows Daddy will sell her out and I truly believe she learned from Daddy that she will double cross him before he double crosses her.

One thing Trump seemed to be focus on was his Safe at Mar-a-largo. Why?

Does anyone remember back in 2016 not only the DNC was hacked but the RNC was hacked as well? Lots of rumors and jokes that Russia hacked it and handed over to Trump. What if that was true? What if in that safe was the dirt on every RNC member of political nature?

It does seem interesting that when someone like McCarthy pulls aways from Trump or speaks out against him that person is invited down to Mar-a-largo and next thing the media find is the person is back on the side of Trump.

What if Ivanka and/or Jared the ones that tipped the DOJ about the boxes?

There are rumors that Ivanka and Jared are on the outs with Trump. They seem willing to talk to DA James, Jan 6 committee and who knows who else to save their own butts from prison.

One story or tid bit that got stuck in my mind today

Biden chose to pull Trump's security clearance.

How soon did Biden do that?

What was Biden told either as President Elect or while campaigning for President and getting the Daily briefing did he find out that caused him to take that step.

Yes, Jan 6th and the Zelensky matter are reasons. BUT are they big enough to cause the pulling or was it something more?

Knowing what we know might know at what Trump stole do you find Pence not using the 25th will be the biggest mistake historians will look at when reviewing Jan 6 in the future?

I do thank you all for the help It felt good to be able to talk about the issue and not get people not believing or the weight comments.

Post Covid issues--advise, help.

As some of you know. I have had Covid twice. And considering I have been Very lucky with mild symptoms that being the Metallic and sometimes weird taste and sometimes no taste.
These issues have persisted for the pass 6 month- ish. I have not had Chocolate in 6 months because it is so bitter tasting. I'm not eating Dark bitter Chocolate either I was trying a milk chocolate bar then a Frozen Hot chocolate. It is so bitter I couldn't taste anything else. Milk cottage cheese taste sour all I taste is sour. fruits taste rotten some veggies I can eat some I cannot. Water when I first got covid tasted so foul I couldn't sip on it without wanting to spit it out of my mouth. Right now, I can take a couple sips of water, but I cringe from the foul taste. I have attempted a few times to sip on water thru out a 15-minute period and after about 6 sips in the 15 min period I got so nauseous I thought I was going to throw up. Not that ate a lot of meat before but I would eat some and I am finding if I have any type of meat after 3pm I feel so sick and have thrown up. I can't eat seafood anymore.

I have found some things I can eat that have no taste or the weird taste is tolerable enough I can eat/drink but I have tried getting help I am told it is all in my mind or that I am making up.

Yes, I am fat and I have been on diets all my life. I tried to explain to my mother how frustrating the whole situation has been. I told her I haven't had Chocolate is 6 months and how things are tasting or how easily I am getting sick with food and her response was you aren't losing weight.

My husband has been great. He has seen me go thru things and when I try to eat and can't eat the item, he's like. Okay we won't try that. We used to order food and If I took some bites (sometimes just one) and got sick or couldn't take the taste he'd just say okay we know this won't work. I felt bad wasting money but he's just says It's not your fault. Or don't worry we now know it doesn't agree with you.

It is just hard. I am basically just eating. Carbs (Breads, Pasta) Cheese(like chedder and pepperjack mozzarella) I can eat safely any time of day with no issues.

The Doctor, I did have doesn't believe covid is real. drop them next doctor I try doesn't believe covid taste is a real thing. I just don't know what to do or if anyone is having this issue. I unfortunately didn't lose my sense of smell with my taste like my supervisor. So I smell food and know what it supposed to taste like and I am so disappointed when it doesn't taste at all or is either bitter/ sour/ weird tasting.

any suggestions?

Question of Manchin sudden interest in a deal

I Do not want to jinx this whatsoever, and I am praying it isn't another "Lucy with the Football"-and I am so expecting it. BUT do you think Manchin is realizing we are going to win more seats in the Senate, and he wouldn't have the power he now has after Nov
so he figures he does this deal and looks like the good guy?

Bonus Question. What about Sinema? This deal is dead in the water without her vote as well?

Was Ivana Trump Cremated?

I don't like to speak of the dead, but I am very confused on something. I heard Ivanna was cremated but yet there was a coffin, and the burial site shows Ivanna's resting place looks like a coffin was placed in the ground. Was there a change of plans?
