Open Letter to Ben Cline, U.S. House of Representatives, Virginia 6th district.

Dear Sir: After recently hearing Donald Trump speak at length about: “Abortions being conducted in Blue States ‘3 days’ after the child’s birth”. “Batteries, boats and sharks”. “Pitching tents (four days) at airports”. “Windmills” “Faucets no water, ‘they’ don’t want to you to have water”. “Washing machines and toilets”. I googled: [Representative Ben Cline, Virgina: comments about donald trump]… I got: Representative Ben Cline (R-Va.) said former President Trump discussed pop star Taylor Swift during his meeting with House Republicans, saying that the former president was “surprised” she did not endorse him. Cline told The Hill that the former president talked about how “he did sign legislation during his administration to help the songwriters, and that he was surprised that Taylor Swift didn’t — didn’t support him.” We can all see that you, Representative Cline, have your intellect laser focused on what is important to the USA and your constituents.

The Washington Post, where “Democracy Dies in Foxness”

My response to learning that Fox News paid $787,500,000 because they lied to their audience was as follows: I do not watch/listen to Fox News. I do not trust Rupert Murdoch nor the people he hires. Now, I don’t trust the Washington Post. They have made quite a few changes in the last year or so. They may think they are doing things that will increase readership, but they have lost me. I wrote this to their OP-ED page, the only way I know of to communicate with them (they got rid of an ombudsman years ago). They’ll never print it, but I feel better.

Single use plastic

I have been keeping a sour dough culture for pancakes and bread making since 1979. I feed it once a week and keep it in my fridge between uses. I keep it in a one quart “single use, disposable plastic yogurt tub”. The tub I use is now more than 49 years old. I guess, in a way, I’ve only used it “once”.
