1/ My sister wrote the words below today in memory of our mother. Her birthday was January 1, 1944. We would always watch the ball drop and then call to wish her a happy birthday.

Happy birthday, Mom. Miss you.
2/ “Happy birthday in heaven, mom! Today would have been your 77th birthday. It’s been a hard three months without your beautiful face smiling back at us, your arms open wide receiving us and your heart pouring sweet love out over us.”
3/ “This is when you realize it’s never enough time and there were more things we wished to have squeezed into our years together. We look forward to our eternal homecoming knowing one day we’ll see and be with you again for the rest of our days.”
4/ “We’re especially thanking God for that assurance today. We love you and carry your heart with ours everywhere we go. ❤️❤️❤️”
5/

Losing

By Rainer Maria Rilke

Losing too is still ours; and even forgetting still has a shape in the kingdom of transformation.

When something's let go of, it circles; and though we are rarely the center
of the circle, it draws around us its unbroken, marvelous curve.

Trump can’t win a primary.
Trump can’t win the nomination.
Trump can’t secure the delegates.

Remember in the Kavanaugh hearing Congress asked the FBI to produce their investigative background file on Kavanaugh.

And the FBI complied.
To be clear since this process hasn’t happened in over 100 years I have no idea if this is possible.

Just speculating.

But I assume it is.
In making the most historically important congressional decision you would assume Congress would want all of the relevant information available to them.

Knowing if decision makers are compromised by the Chinese seems about as relevant as any piece of information.

In 2010 when Chris Bosh announced he would sign with the Miami Heat, I speculated that this meant Lebron would ultimately also sign with Miami so I called the ticket office the same day and bought a pair of season tickets.
That started a five year period where I was a Miami Heat season ticket holder. Lebron did ultimate take his talents to South Beach forming the big 3. They famously and (over) confidently announced they’d win “not one, not two, not three” championships.
Well it turned out that the first year was a struggle. They looked awful at many points but they did ultimately make the NBA Finals where they faced the Dallas Mavericks. It was a revenge series for Dallas’s 2006 Finals loss to Miami.

1/ OK I’m going to write a quick thread here based on the precedent of the 1960 Hawaii electors as brought to light by @thekbtweets.
2/ First question is why can electors be certified on December 30th but not January 1st?

I will get back to the significance of January 1st later but for now just know that team Trump only sees January 6 as the date of significance and quotes the late RBG in their statement.
3/ The other interesting point illustrated in that thread by KB is that it was Nixon as VP that decided the December 30th slate was the true slate. Indicating that the power to decide which are the valid electors is in Pence’s hands. Then from there the Congress can object.

1/ This is fascinating.

So on October 27, 2020 @AP published a story chastising the wife of Justice Clarence Thomas for “boost[ing] unsupported claims against Biden”.

apnews.com/article/ginni-…
2/ “The wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is using her Facebook page to amplify unsubstantiated claims of corruption by Joe Biden.”

The words “unsubstantiated claims” is a link to a separate article titled “AP Explains: Trump pushes questions about Joe Biden’s son”
3/ The opening paragraph of that article: “Looking to undermine Democratic rival Joe Biden, President Donald Trump’s campaign is pushing a familiar line of attack: unverified allegations about Biden’s son and his foreign business ties.”

Update on my dad.

After stabilizing his blood sugar on Monday, he was released from the hospital on Monday.

However yesterday when he visited the wound care specialist for a wound on his leg, they found an infection.

He is scheduled today for a surgical debridement.
Since he has multiple comorbidities, any surgery is very dangerous for him.

If all goes well, they will then attempt a graft to close the wound.

This will likely be a an extended healing process.

Your prayers are appreciated.
They are taking him into surgery at 9:30.
