My wife, an accomplished cook, returned from the grocery store shell shocked. A (normally) $2.50 bag of clementines was $8. $6 for a head of cauliflower.

Jan 6 detainees (American citizens) are being held without bail for months and months while being mistreated in jail.

We live now, under Biden, like the worst fears daily rehashed on CNN during the Trump years. It's uncanny.
I noticed Laslo commenting in a post today. I don’t know if I just haven’t been paying attention and he’s been here since comments were turned back on. If not, the Althouse blog just went up a notch or two.
I have seen no answer to my question from yesterday so I will rephrase it. What is going on in the US DOT? Yes, I get that Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg had been out of pocket for two months, but his Deputy, Polly Trottenberg, has an excellent CV for transportation issues. Why hasn’t somebody in the US DOT done something? Now combine Buttigieg’s boondoggle trip to a UN conference on Climate Change with Jen Psaki’s snippy responses to questions about empty shelves in grocery stores and sharply higher prices on food staples, and it looks as though the Biden administration flat does not care about anyone who isn’t rich.
Joe Biden came into office pledging to unify the country. The latest Zogby poll suggests his administration is doing just that; if the trend keeps going then in the end either you’ll work directly for that clown and be dependent on him for a salary, or you’ll hate his guts.

some serious questions for you parent peoples.... 2 month paid paternity leave? Did ANY of you get 2 months PAID paternity leave? Did you get 2 month paternity leave? Did you get paternity leave?
Did you get MATERNITY leave? How long was it? Was it Paid?
I'm thinking that IF our Sec of Transportation can miss TWO MONTHS... We don't really have/need a Sec of Transportation
Follow up questions IF you're a New Sec of Trans....Is THAT the time to adopt children? IF you DO adopt a child, while being Sec of Transportation.... WHAT do you DO for the two months of Paid Paternity leave? Watch your nanny change diapers?

I too saw that comment by Laslo and was suffused as always with delight. Getting the band back together!
Fully vaccinated Colin Powell died due to Covid complications. RIP
That pic feels perfectly balanced - very nice.
