I watched some of the hearings being held by the committee investigating the attack on the U.S. Capital and I've decided that all they are doing is giving Trump a reason to run again.
He lives for this level of attention and as far as he is concerned, this is the best thing that has ever happened to him.
If the democrats had even a small lick of sense and intellect, they would start looking for a viable candidate to put up against the republicans instead of keeping Trump in the spotlight. Right now, the democrats have an incumbent who has one of the lowest approval ratings since Carter and they aren't doing anything to improve themselves.
We're gonna end up with either Trump or DiSantis as president and I'm not sure that's a good or a bad thing. In one sense, it's good because I can't stand Biden, or any of the others who will probably say they are running. On the other hand, it's bad because I can't stand either Trump or DiSantis.
At some point, the democrats need to figure out what they are, who they represent and what their goals are. Either that or they should at least be honest and rename themselves the socialist/communist party.
As for the republicans, they have made it clear that they represent the psychos like the proud boys or the patriot front.

With Brayan Bello from Worcester on the mound last night, the Red Sox lost to the Rays 5-10.
Tonight is Chris Sale's first appearance since last October when he pitched 2⅓ innings against the Nationals.
Let's hope tonight goes a lot better because back then, over those 2⅓ innings, he gave up four hits and two earned runs before he was pulled by Cora.

NASA released the first few images from the Webb Space Telescope and I'm pretty damned impressed.
This image is of four galaxies that are 290,000,000 light-years away.
Look carefully at it and you can pick out the individual stars. Over 290 million light years! That's like being able to see individual grains of sand on a beach from 100 miles away. And some of the galaxies you can see in the background are billions of light years away and you can make out the swirl of the individual arms on some of them.
Yet banks here on Earth still have security cameras that take such bad pictures of people that you can't tell if it's a man, a woman, a child, or maybe a dog standing on its hind feet.

Not sure what I am doing for dinner tonight so you'll just have to guess.
