Tuesday, I forgot to schedule the post I had prepared, and it ended up getting used yesterday. Sorry. Yesterday, I got an email from Lona that she was concerned about the notice that PHP is out of date, and unless I misunderstood her, she was able to see that on the blog itself, not just on the dashboard.  I went to BlueHost, where I found conflicting sets of instructions on how to update it. After a lot of searching, I was able to find how to execute one set, which I did. I went back to PP and got only a critical error message, both on the dashboard and on the blog. I had to call in, which took several tries, but finally got in and got a live person who checked my work and checked the blog and determined that the updated version is not compatible with our blog,  So she reversed the update and now it is working again. In case anyone attempted to see it while the error message was up – that was the problem. However, all this means that we are stuck with the old PHP. If you ever see anything about it, please be aware that our beloved TC was not always satisfied with software offered through BlueHost and sometimes found a different plugin to do the same job better. For instance, I observed that at BlueHost it says the site does not have backups enabled. But what BlueHost doesn’t know is that TC arranged for backups through another provider – Updraft Plus – and we are getting backed up every day without fail – I get a daily email notification of it. So if the new PHP is not compatible, and BlueHost is not worried about it, I am not either. TC will have arranged another plugin for the same function. And all our plugins are set to automatically update. When I can, I’ll put up either a new page or a new block on the Home Page to explain this, so in case anyone else is seeing a PHP warning on the blog itself, the information will be there.

Steve Schmidt is not himself a trained psychologist. But sometimes an untrained person can stumble upon a realization which is profound. I think Steve is on to something here.

Leaving MAGA is a group founded by Rich Logis, and it is also a book (at the home site you can get an ebook for free if you wish.) It is also a petition from the action network to major media requesting that they cover the stories of people who have left MAGA. That would not reach all of them – but it could reach a significant segment. At the very least they might be able to hear something outside their bubbles.
