Queen Elizabeth II dead at 96

Not a big fan of the British Royal Family, but she’s the exception.  Plunged into the position of Queen at 25 when her father died.  She was 27 when coronated.  As a youth, during WW-II, she walked the walk, assisting the war effort anyway she could.  Essentially rolling up her sleeves and working side by side with her future subjects.  Class?  She was the epitome of the word.  Be difficult, if not impossible, to name any comparable world leader.  We’ll be a long time seeing her like again.

RIP Queen Elizabeth ✝️✝️✝️

Did you see it?  The day Queen Elizabeth died a beautiful rainbow appeared over Buckingham Palace.  Coincidence?  Hmmmm, maybe.  A sign from heaven?  Hmmmm, also maybe.  I’d prefer the latter.  A sign from God - “Come home my good and faithful servant”.  I’m a believer in our God, and a bit of a dreamer.  I’d like to think he still gives us signs, if only we look - and then actually see the signs for what they are.  So, a rainbow, a sign, or both?  When events like this happen, don’t just look - look again.  Is there more there than our eyes can see?  Maybe.  Just maybe.

This is the hidden content, please

That would leave us with Kamala, far worse for America.  She is absolutely clueless, more so than joe.

And for now (fingers crossed it won’t happen), Pelosi is next in line after Harris.

Sure, we all know the Constitution and if Harris became the president, she could then choose her vice president which would have to be approved by the Senate and the House similar to a Supreme Court nominee except both houses would vote and not just the Senate. Pelosi would then go back to #3 in line.

Hopefully that dynamic changes in 7 weeks.

Here is a “what if” that might scare Democrats. 

If the Republicans pick up only 1 seat in the Senate, they will have control if they all vote together.

No nominee can be approved without at least some Republican support.

If they can flip 4 seats in the House, the Speaker of the House, with complete control of ALL legislation, would be a Republican.

 The biggest “what if”…..

If both scenarios happen (or even one actually) and Biden leaves office for whatever reason, the Republican Speaker of the House would be #2 in line for the presidency until both houses of Congress agrees on the Vice President nominee.

So the Republicans would have to approve of any Harris nominee (or if she left office first, any Biden nominee) as vice president or a Republican would be next in line.

It kind of gives a different view of the current Democrat, who needs you or bipartisanship stance.

 I would bet they now will all of a sudden want to reach across the aisle.

    • naw, maaaaybe 7, definitely not 8 deep.  today im avoiding sitting by #10s parents, had to move away yesterday.   "put my son back in jub, put my son back in"  and then crying on every little touch of someone.    lets ball out today ktz!    
    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McNeese this Friday night at 6pm.
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
