Eat the rich
1) It's better for them to be taxed than to be beheaded.
2) Mainstream Democrats have been wrong (and mostly useless) for a long time.
Hallelujah!
[M]ore Republicans are retiring ahead of the midterms than at any point in nearly a century, according to an ABC News tally of retirement announcements and a review of historical data since 1930 compiled by the Brookings Institution.
[...]
It includes powerful committee chairs, including Graves and Rep. Jodey Arrington of Texas, the Republican leader of the House Budget Committee; veterans such as retired Navy SEAL Rep. Morgan Luttrell of Texas and retired Air Force brigadier general Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska; and 20 Republicans running for Senate or governor of their home states.
[...]
Many of the lawmakers cited personal reasons, including long careers and their families, as shaping their decisions not to seek office again.

They wouldn't be retiring if they thought they had a chance at winning. It's obvious they don't want to have a loss on their record, and they don't want to be blamed for the party crashing. Whatever their reasons, good riddance.
It's Sunday
The Church of England is finally publicly acknowledging the divine feminine energy coming in that they've been suppressing for centuries. I don't know that they actually realize that's what they're doing.
Setting aside the fact that I can't imagine why any woman would want to be a participant in a repressive church (unless it's to bust it wide open), while this move is not enough, it's a start. How long before the Catholic church comes on board?You don't say.Dame Sarah Mullally has been enthroned as the first female Archbishop of Canterbury.
In her sermon, she acknowledges failures on safeguarding in the Church of England, saying "we hold victims and survivors in our hearts and in our prayers."
She faces several challenges.

Of course. Let's not rush into anything.In England, an arrangement was made so parishes that do not accept female bishops can request a man oversee them.
Don't know why, but King Charles, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, didn't attend the ceremony ordaining her. William went in his stead.

We are goverened by a mental patient
And I mean no disrespect to mental patients, but maybe they shouldn't run the country.
He just wants someone to blame for the fix he has gotten himself - indeed, the world - into.More than 30 nations, including a majority of NATO countries, have pledged “appropriate efforts” to restart shipping through the critical trade chokepoint after the U.S. president slammed allies as “COWARDS” for failing to volunteer their assistance.
“One would wish for more predictability, more clarity and more strategic foresight — not only in this case,” German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius told POLITICO on Tuesday, adding: “Let’s wait and see.”
The slow-moving talks reflect Trump’s conflicting messaging more than three weeks into his war against Iran — where he has threatened allies for failing to back his campaign, then said they weren’t needed, all while providing scant detail on how they could support the U.S.

How can you not see that?The lack of enthusiasm about getting involved also underscores Europe’s growing self-confidence in dealing with Washington, as the continent increasingly shifts its approach from placating Trump to confronting him over a war allies were not consulted on.
“This war violates international law,” German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Tuesday. “There is little doubt that, in any case, the justification of an imminent attack on the U.S. does not hold water.”

“The big picture is: the U.S. has asked us to take care of and defend our own countries, take care of supporting Ukraine … and now [the] Middle East and global supply chains,” said one senior European government official, calling it “absurdly incoherent to put it mildly.”
A White House official did not comment on the demands on allies but told POLITICO: “President Trump and his national security team were well prepared for the Iranian regime’s attempts to close the Strait, and the U.S. military is zeroed in on systematically eliminating the terrorist Iranian regime’s ability to disrupt the free flow of energy.”
He is also confident that women allow him to "grab them by the pussy."“President Trump is confident that the Strait of Hormuz will be opened very soon,” the official said.
Here's my advice: do not invite Trump.In the absence of specific requests for help, allies have so far resorted to offering what they can: meetings, statements and encouragement.
The U.K. — which has so far led behind-the-scenes talks alongside NATO chief Mark Rutte — on Tuesday said it would host a security summit “in the near future” aimed at keeping the momentum on efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
