Today’s Edition (Vol. 2, No. 71) Swinging for the fences. Dear Readers, Over the weekend, I completed the migration of the newsletter from Constant Contact to Substack. As I hit “send” on Sunday evening, I got a message from Substack saying they needed to confirm that my large mailing list was not the work of a spammer. So, for the moment, I can only post on the website. Sigh. Hopefully, I will get clearance from Substack to send the newsletter by email for Tuesday’s edition. [Update: Substack cleared my list and I am sending today’s newsletter late. Will get back on schedule tonight! Thanks for your patience!]
Yes, we were a bit bereft not to receive your words early this morning, but we survived, guessing what had happened. At least we had Jill’s garden post to tide us over. Thanks to both of you for your worthy efforts.
Today it was announced that there are enough signatures to force a recall election against California Governor Gavin Newsom. This could affect Biden's ability to enact his platform as follows. California Senator Dianne Feinstein is 87 years old. If Newsom loses and is replaced by a Republican governor, that governor will have the power to appoint a replacement for Feinstein should she leave office during that governor's term. I'm having flashbacks to Justice Ginsberg's decision not to resign early during the Obama administration.
Although I subscribed to your newsletter some months ago, I never received it. I was delighted to receive today's email and thank you for switching to a more reliable platform. I look forward to catching up on your newsletters.
Particularly interesting/positive review of Biden's actions which are intended to and do affect the lives of us ordinary citizens. I read the American Enterprise Institute and other conservative sources as well as this one and HCR and other liberal sites. The difference IMO is whether the emphasis is on people/community or $$$. In the GODs - Good Old Days - the members of Congress on both sides not only did the nation's business together but socialized as well. They understood divisiveness, but they understood compromise as well. Read Robert Caro's biography of Lyndon Johnson for descriptions of how Congress functioned to the benefit of all.
Both views of Biden should be known to all of us - nobody's perfect. L&B&L
