Old Okie's JournalEarly Voting
I voted in Montgomery County yesterday; I would say that it was a little busier than normal but only took 15 minutes; I did vote later in the day; around 4 PM. Used Vote Blue online and the Apple Ballot recommendations for school board elections.
Climate Change Denial on CNBC's Squawk Box
I don't post much although have shadowed this site for years before joining but watching Squawk Box this morning at 8:30 and seeing the host Joe Kernen launch into a full throat-ed denial of climate change along with one of his guests (with some vigorous push back by his younger and smarter co-host) was just too much for me. This is 2024! How do we get people like this off the air of the "liberal media". Tell me who I can complain to ar CNBC.
DU Donation
Trying to donate, why does Paypal need my email when I am using credit card.
Donations 2022
Writing this to ask for guidance on giving donations during this election season. Retired government employee with fixed income and don't have a lot of money to throw away. During the last two elections I gave donations to a number of candidates who were soundly defeated; if I am going to give my money away I want it to have some impact. I also don't want to donate to someone who is a sure win and has tons of cash already. Do any of the organizations asking for donations give any info on the probability the candidate could actually win the election with grass roots support?
Just got a donation request for Fetterman claiming that he was in a tight race and needed money. A quick check indicates he is leading by double digits and has plenty of cash on hand, so you have to question these requests. Like with charities, if you give any money you wind up being deluged with requests.
Any helpful advice appreciated.
A salute to Christiane Amanpour
So proud to see this woman brave traveling to Kyiv to report on what's happening. It seems the Ukrainians are appreciative as well. Quite a contrast to the MSM correspondents hiding out in train stations at the border.
