A lesson in Civil Discourse by Rep. Brian Mast

[Congressman Brian Mast (house.gov)] “The response [to Mr. Jake Tapper CNN] is this: OK, the president told you [Trump supporters] to come to the people’s house, did he tell you to do it violently? Or did he tell you to go there and cheer people on, or what, but it’s worth getting to the bottom of before you rush to judgment and that’s the foundation of democracy,” Mast said.

“I’m going to say to Mr. Tapper the same thing that half of America is saying right now, hold me to a high standard — don’t hold me to a double standard. And me asking if any of these lawmakers that are about to vote have gone through any questioning, any hearings, have asked any questions of anybody, that’s an appropriate question and it speaks to the foundation of our democracy, it doesn’t diminish it,” he added.

As for civil discourse: “And I would give this statement to him, as well — it is not as important in America, especially today with all the division that we have, that I say, ‘This is what I think about you.’ We’ve got to get to the point that we’re saying, ‘This is why I think something,’ now I can say, ‘This is why I think you’re wrong,’ and we can have a real debate and hopefully you end up learning something about each other instead of just coming away with two people that are pissed off.”

“Sedition” somewhat closes off that debate — particularly when you use it against a man who lost two legs to an IED in Afghanistan for nothing more than how he voted, the questions he asked about the election and the lawsuits he signed onto. In a world of Jake Tappers, be a Brian Mast. It’s OK to ask questions, it’s OK to debate. The most horrible take doesn’t win the day.

The House Progressive Caucus has proposed a 2021 congressional agenda that includes relief checks of $2,000 a month for everyone, regardless of immigration or any other status.

The agenda includes “banning semi-automatic weapons,” canceling medical debt, canceling up to $50,000 in student debt and providing “universal access to social safety net programs.”

Under a section entitled “Dismantle Racism, White Supremacy and Inequality in All Institutions,” progressives also are calling for “a commission on truth, racial healing, and transformation, and a commission to study and develop reparations.”

Project Engineering: Layout new ductwork. With a variable speed compressor the temperature drop in the ducts has a much greater affect on the performance. The reason is that the forced air temp can be just a few degrees above the room temperatures. (Meaning that a few degree change becomes a large percentage of the heat/cool capacity into the room.) I’ve doubled the insulation on the 6″ ducts since they had the greatest surface area per volume of air. I’ve also doubled the long trunk line to the Master Bedroom since it’s length and the two 6″ ducts were affecting the air significantly. I encased the 8″ duct to the kitchen inside a 12″ duct. (Pretty easy actually.) and ran it to the vent over the microwave. I also encased 25 Feet of 8″ duct inside a 12″ duct for my cave yesterday. Reminds me of a really old Star Trek…

Heat pump and ducts are working pretty well, I have the guest bathroom to fix.

Narrative: I’m skipping the time bullets today. The heater is working pretty well with the majority of the ducts connected back. I used the NodeMCU network to record some data on the performance of the ducts I’ve already installed. (Not Many)

It’s really early, i woke up cold and irritable. Writing in my blog and grabbing a couple eggs for breakfast. I watched Trump leave Washington and then watched Biden become President. What I wasn’t prepared for was the show in the evening, that had some good entertainment.

I trimmed our bushes today, they were overgrown and needed to be cut back. I bought a beach cart that came in really handy moving the cuttings to the compost pile.

Church service was uneventful, we prayed for our new leadership to have wisdom and for God to lead them in a great way.

Researched Philippines Typhoons last month, they took a huge toll on the island. I watched several videos, 3-5 feet of water leaving 3-5″ of mud on everything inside their homes and on the streets. This will take a long time to clean up, I checked the Internet and they were pretty bad off. Homes and crops were destroyed and thousands are displaced without enough food or water. According to CNNCF they anticipate being back to normal by Jan 2021, They are not there yet.

CF called me today and we had a long conversation about their shortfalls. It was pretty much the same theme at the end of the day, I need to be patient with them. That was until I mentioned that I’ve not had consistent mail since 2017, then they back peddled some…

It’s really early, i woke up with my upper torso itchy. I’ve known for a while that I’m a little allergic to Aleve and somewhat less to Ibuprofen. I don’t think I can take them anymore, like at all. I took ONE 200Mg Advil pill and my body is rebelling. I just took another Benadryl and it might be a good idea to take two. Although it will make me terribly sleepy! It’s 9:30, i slept hard after taking two Benadryl last night, and I’m still itchy. Maybe i got some fiberglass on me from the insulation behind me?

I wrote a seething letter to CF this morning just after midnight about their handling of our correspondence with our sponsored children. After reading it 6 hours later the only thing I regret is informing my associate that the time spent checking, writing and waiting is ruining any enjoyment from our giving. It’s finally 08:00 and I am up sipp’n coffee. I have created a drawing of the space around us that influences us and to some extent we influence them.

As chaos increases we regress to smaller circles to maintain our sanity. LOL Watching the news on TV is a waste of time because it changes so often. Reading the news on the Internet is just discouraging what the Democrats are planning to do with our country. We’re also waiting on BLM to start ramping up their campaign to persuade our president onto their agenda.

When we replaced the carpet in the 90’s we failed to notice that the new carpet was taller and closed the opening under the bathroom doors. I found out today that running the fan in the guest bathroom sucked air from the bedroom vent. The unfiltered air over 30 years deposited significant material in the vent, like YUK!

I saw an article where Kamala Harris talked about Systemic Racism where the two races have a different starting point but can have equal treatment. I am a white person living in Atlanta where most of the people I intersect with are either Black or Hispanic. I don’t believe for a second that someone in Atlanta applying for a job will be turned down because they are BIPOC. We don’t have to be like California and bring back truly racist programs like Desegregation and Affirmative Action.

The proponents of the bill, the most radical progressives in California (which is really saying something), say it’s about removing the ban on affirmative action, first passed in 1996. The University of California Board of Regents, headed by Janet Napolitano, supports this bill. Many have absurdly cited the CCP coronavirus pandemic and the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department to say the (ban) of affirmative action should end. Opponents call it nothing more than a racial spoils system designed to grant preferential treatment to some communities of color over others.

Project Engineering: Layout new ductwork. With a variable speed compressor the temperature drop in the ducts has a much greater affect on the performance. The reason is that the forced air temp can be just a few degrees above the room temperatures. (Meaning that a few degree change becomes a large percentage of the heat/cool capacity into the room.) I’ve doubled the insulation on the 6″ ducts since they had the greatest surface area per volume of air. I’ve also doubled the long trunk line to the Master Bedroom since it’s length and the two 6″ ducts were affecting the air significantly. I encased the 8″ duct to the kitchen inside a 12″ duct. (Pretty easy actually.) and ran it to the vent over the microwave. I also encased 25 Feet of 8″ duct inside a 12″ duct for my cave yesterday. Reminds me of a really old Star Trek…

Heat pump and ducts are working pretty well, I have the guest bathroom to fix.

My EcoFlow R600 Pro is #1900 something and they’ve shipped #1800’s yesterday. The message board said that the grey R600Pro units will be shipped Tuesday. I should get it 10 days after that. (Lithium batteries)

The COVID numbers have gotten really high from Thanksgiving, in fact they are the highest I’ve ever seen them.

Narrative: I’m skipping the time bullets today. The heater is working pretty well with the majority of the ducts connected back. I used the NodeMCU network to record some data on the performance of the ducts I’ve already installed. (Not Many)

Got up really early this morning to get our 1st COVID shot. I-285 had a major accident so we took the long route downtown. We still made it there by 08:00, but that was a bit early. Excellent organization and execution, we headed home around 09:30. Took a good hearty nap and headed up into the attic. The last of the metal ductwork is gone, but there was a wooden bridge over the duct that was still there. I pulled one side of it off tonight and cleaned up some of the old insulation. The insulation bag cannot be at the bottom of the garbage can, it’s not heavy enough to drop out when the machine dumps it. I have to cut the insulation back under the kitchen duct so that the duct can rest on the joists. (Otherwise it is too tall for the subfloor I crawl on, it’s a 21″ outer duct wall with an 18″ space above the joist.)

Feelings: As Christians we are compelled to look after the Widows and the poor. Just how we do that in this climate when there is so much energy fighting the democracy I don’t know.

Researched Philippines Typhoons last month, they took a huge toll on the island. I watched several videos, 3-5 feet of water leaving 3-5″ of mud on everything inside their homes and on the streets. This will take a long time to clean up, I checked the Internet and they were pretty bad off. Homes and crops were destroyed and thousands are displaced without enough food or water. According to CNNCF they anticipate being back to normal by Jan 2021, They are not there yet.

I called CF this morning and told them it’s unacceptable that we’ve not gotten receipts for our gifts in 4 months. I was asked to please be patient… Then I get an E-Mail that says to wish them a happy Valentines Day?

Worked on a new instance of Home Assistant, the first Raspberry Pi would not perform an update. I changed out the SD card and it failed again so I tossed the Pi. Gwinnett COVID is hovering around 1% which is lower than Walton for a change.

Checking the news in the wee hours of the morning, our government has gone the way of BLM did over the summer. They are making wild accusations and extreme acts of aggression in the name of progressive America. Pelosi is entertaining, she has lost any sense of reality during an interview yesterday. She refused to admit that she held up relief for Americans for 8 months for personal spite against Trump.

Still working on plans for Sunday, 3 days left.

Slept ok, sipp’n coffee checking the news. Spent the whole day trying to get a battery powered amplifier up and running only to find out the amp is 40 watts per channel. Okay 80 watts bridged, still not 444 watts! The 2FD capacitor had to have its plates reformed, that took all afternoon and I still don’t trust it not to explode.

I did order a couple things from Amazon but it’s pretty much a wasted day.
