Democrats eat at the Trump administration’s legacy like termites under a discarded railroad tie.
Are Executive Orders the will of the people?
In a potential sign of the hurdles to come, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) sent a warning shot during one of his first floor speeches back in the minority. Republicans, he warned, were willing to work with Biden but also wouldn’t be shy about blocking bills they don’t support. Because of the 60-vote legislative filibuster, Democrats will need at least 10 GOP senators to pass most things.
A voice speaking a bit of truth.
Heather Higgins, chairwoman of the Independent Women’s Forum, suggested that the left’s current narrative of “unity” is coming across to the other side as being asked to “accept guilt” and “shut up.”
“There’s a lot of ‘we need to unify,’” Higgins told Jan Jekielek, host of The Epoch Times’ American Thought Leaders program on Jan. 20. “That’s the language now.”
But she said the unity they’re talking about is “‘you need to accept guilt for anything that we say that you need to accept guilt for,’ even if you’re not guilty; ‘you need to shut up, and you just need to go along with and comply with our point of view,’” Higgins pointed out. “Which is extremely unhealthy.” Heather Higgins: Silencing People and Forcing Them to ‘Accept Guilt’ Not the Way to Unity (theepochtimes.com)
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. I measured the temperatures of the rooms and how they responded to the heat sent into them.
Fix the wireless!
The wireless remembers every network it has ever touched and there’s no way of turning it off!
The COVID numbers getting reasonable.
Narrative: I’m skipping the time bullets today. I’m up very early, sipp’n coffee and working on my blog. Logged into EF Facebook page, they are changing the fan temperatures with firmware. The only trouble is that the temp they chose increases the copper losses by 25%. Had a large breakfast with the wife. Also checked out the vaccine we just had against the new variants, the world is so big I am not sure we’re ever going to get ahead of it.
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.
I am very angry with CF, we’ve had this long running drama about letters and I am slap wore out trying to get them to do their part. I am going the rounds with CF and I am pretty angry at them. I told them to be honest, if I am 100th in line or what I want isn’t going to happen for months. Tell me!
