Democrats had hit bottom, many said. They hadn’t. The Dems’ favorability has hit a new record low of 29%. The Party is trapped between a base that wants trans sports, open borders, DEI, ESG, Ukraine war, and mass censorship, and swing voters who really, really don’t.

It's crazy. I was telling my wife that I wish I could learn writing. In everything I do, I've always wished that I had the gall to create more.

Also went from working in a photo lab for 20 years as a high school dropout, to having a masters degree and working as an Archivist in DC. All things that whisper in my ear to "write something."
Chuck’s best advice is to just write. Get it out, get it on the page. Then you can delete/add/rearrange but at least it’s there for you to shape. Otherwise it’s still just a wish. ❤️
