politicsrus – another one that has written narration and snippets of quotes but no CC.

[0:10] (MLK] Mind you, friends your vote is precious, almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have to create a more perfect union. On one occasion a man was asked to count the number of bubbles in a bar of soap. On another occasion a man was asked to count the number of jelly beans in a jar -to keep them from casting their ballot.
[0:30] [Stacey Abrams?] The Governoris signing a bill that affects more Georgians – why are they doing it in private and why do they try to keep elected officials representing us out of this process?
[0:48][Rev Warnock]The Georgia election was certainly free of any consequential fraud. We counted the village not once not twice but three times
[music]
[1:20][Warnock] They don’t like the outcome. So this is democracy in reverse where Politicians have decided that instead of voters picking their representatives, their representatives have a right to cherry pick the voters.
[1:36] Dozens of prominent black business leaders in America, calling for companies to fight against georgia’s controversial voter legislation. We’re asking corporate America to publicly and directly oppose any discriminatory legislation and all measures designed to limit America’s ability to vote.
[2:16] There’s work to be done.

Meidas Touch – Projection…

Now This News – Despite pockets of crazies, I am proud of my state … and certainly proud of out Secretary of State.

Now This News – This is at least promising. We will have to see to what degree the promise is kept.

It’s a hectic day here in the CatBox.  Tomorrow is moving day, so this is the last article I’ll write until after I’m there.  Today, I’ll get as much rest as I can, because on Saturday, I’ll be completely exhausted and am likely to stay that way through the weekend  My day tomorrow will start at 8:00 AM and last late into the night.  After that, I will be back as soon as I can.  Until I am, you guys are in charge. TGIF!  Prayers UP!

Real Glenn Kirschner on Sixth Amendment Rights vs. Fifth Amendment Rights – about 13 minute but pertinent way betond just this trial.

politicsrus – “Justice on Trial” The narrative is all shown written, withe a music background. /there are a few speakers whose words are not captioned. I got a transcription of those quotes, and I’ll include time stamp where they occur.

[0:17] Our loyalty is not to South Africa; it is to South Africans. In the south, Africans are majority black and they are being excoriated.
[0:35] We are not going to [unintelligible]
[1:02] Check his pulse … check his pulse
[1:46] You cannot [keep people] deep down, marginalized, threatened, and kill people, and think we ain’t gonna stand up then eventually.

Now This News – it’s not on loop, it just repeats the intro at the end.

Republican Accountability Project

Ring of Fire – Yeah – state employees (including my bestie) have known for years this was going to happen – it was just a matter of when. But who listens to peons who actually know what they are talking about?

We really need to stop fooling with Mother Nature. She fights back aggressively.

It’s a very tired day here in the CatBox.  Yesterday Windows Updated my computer.   Ever since, I have lost sound on my computer, so anything that displays sound, such as videos, I can only guess at them.  WWWendy will be visiting soon to update the charts and repair broken skin lesions on my butt.  I need to rest as much as I can.  I had a chat with Kelli at Ivy Court today.  She does not mind if I blog about my life there.  However, some of the residents may not be capable of giving consent, to use their names, so in all cases, I will be using alias names.  If I use any pictures, I need to clear through Kelli first.  I trust that things will relax over time.  The more I talk to Kelli, the more convinced I become that I’m really going to love living at Ivy Court.  Tomorrow is moving day, so please color me gone until I return.  You guys are in charge Prayers Up!

Meidas Touch – Media slant

The Lincoln Project “Matt Gaetz”

Trae on Georgia boycotts

MSNBC – BBMM makes Bernie laugh (OK, it’s actually more of a sardonic grin.)

American Bridge – I try to include something funny that’s not political – but so much today that’s political is funny – in presentation, if not in subject – the new “Karen” can wait a day or two.

Beau talks about Beau, and a story

Keith, from yesterday – straight from Madison Suare Garden.

Yesterday was very busy here in the CatBox  My video meeting with the Owners of Ivy Court was productive.  They asked me several questions about my condition.  They also gave me a  virtual tour of the facility, including my room.  I think I’m going to like it.  They will puree my food to make it edible for me and serve my meals in my room.  I’m hoping there will be more activities with other residents, but COVID is still a considerable issue.  We hope they will give the vaccine to residents.  I will have access to shower rooms.  I think I’ll get one a week from Home Hospice Aides, one a week from Ivy Court staff, and 2 a week from WWWendy.  Tomorrow afternoon I have a telephone Interview with the owner, so she can coordinate a treatment plan.  Otherwise, plans are up in the air, except that Saturday is moving day.  Prayers up, please!  This morning, Windows Update grabbed my machine for three hours.  I had the option to stop it, but I could not risk having to go through this in the middle of moving.  Happy Hump Day.

Dedicated to Karen (with so many memes I recommend going through twice – once forthe lyrics and once for the memes, maybe the second time slowed down with the sound off.)

Beau talked about “tomorrow” yesterday – so this concerns today – and is now already over – for today.

It’s a busy day here in the CatBox.  I’m writing what I can before the fact, so I can so as much as I can in advance instead of waiting until it’s time.  WWWendy will be here shortly after 9:00.  Please keep us in your prayers!  JD too!
