Good morning. 🍄🍄🍄
We have another excessive heat warning today. It's supposed to get up to 98 degrees Fahrenheit (37 C). It did yesterday as well, though with a feels like 105 qualifier - high humility maybe there will be some perspiration. 😂 One of my quirks is that I sometimes like to use the wrong word, for comedy. My wife hates it when we're out shopping for perfume, and I ask the salesperson for some that channel number 5 (instead of Chanel No. 5) - it never gets old.

@GreenFire just keep in mind that USA Democracy for the last decade+ is/has been under serious attack on multiple fronts. When I lived in Minnesota mail in balloting was a no brainer, a modern convenience. Yet in Texas it is so inconvenient it is impossible to utilize. That is all based on the BS GOP lies about voter fraud in a National campaign to keep the demographics who don’t support them from using it. Ironically GOP voters like the connivence too! 🤔

@Huntn00
It leaves us with an imperfect system that has managed to produce the world's oldest democracy so that's something to be positive about, idk.
@GreenFire Just observing the political climate in the USA and anticipating outcomes of any trial involving #TheHeadLiar which I am pessimistic about the outcome. Although I do support the concept of jury, I also see the problem with juries, it really should be described as a “people” problem of which the judge is included. Where does that leave us? 🫤😉

@Huntn00
No, I got your meaning and yes that will be a case of justice not being served, but that's just the system of "justice" that we have so I just don't think that it helps much to worry about stuff we don't have an ability to impact.
I've not seen much of a movement to do away with juries in the USA and I'm not certain what those proposals might look like?
@GreenFire perhaps you misunderstand my meaning. Avoiding Justice is when a juror votes in opposition to the evidence to support their politics. Not beyond the pale at all imo. And it would support my contention that Justice was not served, and not the first time in our history,

@Huntn00
Going to trial is not "avoiding justice". We have a juried system of justice and I support the rule of law. The case filed in the Southern District of Florida is not the only legal jeopardy that those insurrectionists are facing so I'm content to let it play out the way it's going to play out.

Utah Rep. John Curtis is proposing a bill that would block a BLM rule change to create dedicated leases for conservation, similar to leases for mining or grazing.

American Medical Association Finally Drops Support of the BMI
IT’S ABOUT TIME
This article also mentions that the onset of “the obesity crisis” corresponds with the thresholds for “overweight” and “obese” being revised downward on the BMI chart. You heard that right, people didn’t really get fatter, they just tweaked the numbers.
