Crazy Times Scrapbook, March 2024

This was of particular interest to me because I'd been working on op-eds for an advocacy campaign about the child tax credit for this very bill for my nonprofit job. Unfortunately, the bill stalled, but hopefully the op-eds helped change some minds, particularly amongst the politicians who will be voting.



Immigration

It's the classic airplane-in-distress wisdom: Take care of your own needs first, and then you can help others more effectively. 

I think this is one of the reasons for and "benefits" of so many immigrants being allowed in. It does help the job numbers look better.
Common sense.

Trump/Biden



I can't believe she actually said this on the air! "Unfortunately for America, the court isn't necessarily wrong that this is the way the Framers wanted it to be." Unfortunately!?


Trump wins the election in this poll at this time.

TikTok and China

I've been saying it for years: get rid of TikTok in America until it's out of China's hands.
News alert! It just passed yesterday in the Senate! 👏

Read all of this! 🠋🠋🠋

Americans as a whole can be dumb and shortsighted...


Culture

Bring back marriage and children.



Miscellaneous Craziness

This is happening right before our very eyes.


I have zero regrets about giving the Covid vaccines a hard pass.

This was a crazy and tragic disaster.
