Here are the stories that caught our attention.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) told CNN Wednesday evening that it’s time to pull the plug on the fruitless talks with Republicans on Biden’s sweeping infrastructure plan. “At the end of the day, if we can’t get the Republicans on board, we need to move forward,” he said. “And my view is that time has come.”
Good to see Keystone XL got scrapped. That is really dirty oil coming from Alberta tar sands. It takes a barrel worth of crude to refine two barrels.
Rudyard Kipling called Alberta “all hell for a basement” when he saw the gas flares from the Alberta oil fields.
They need to keep their “hell” in the ground, not send it south.
So because a car was speeding a cop decides to the best course of action was to flip the car? Which then probably resulted in closing down at least one, if not two lanes of the highway?

Boys will be boys, so all is OK
I’m having surgery at Houston Methodist on Tuesday, and I am very glad the unvaccinated employees will not be responsible for any of my care.
Yeah, man, it’s really oppressive when my employer wants me to get vaccinated! Let’s just forget about everybody else you might infect and your family and friends who may die from COVID-19. Freedumb!!1!
I agree with the Democrats who have said enough with the theater. Mitt Romney tipped his hand yesterday. Discussions with his group will go no where. Give America what it wants and needs. Raise taxes on rich corporations to pay for it.
“A Wisconsin couple came up with a pretty great loophole after their neighborhood association told to take down their pride flag.”
excellent creative alternative! … now, how long until there is squawking that landscape illumination must be - “white-only”
No worries. They will get religion now. There have to be on the make preachers who will certify deeply felt religious convictions for an appropriate donation. Just like the docs that issue weed cards, there must be “Frock in a Box” strip mall walk in churches for these anti vax quacks.
White only?
Okay
Paint the house white. There are some incredibly brilliant, reflective white paints out there.
Then illuminate with yard floods. Remove the night!
Then listen to the neighbors complain about having to invest in black out curtains.
@lastroth @southerndem Re: Police spin out (PIT) maneuver on pregnant woman while she drove slowly to find a safe place to stop, as per her state’s driver manual. Then he argued with her before assisting her out of upside down car. Anything involving car chases or gun play always puts the cop brain into crocodile mode. Car chase doesn’t exist? Invent one! Just try to get the police to work on your $50,000 identity theft case (below the threshhold of actionable.)
Why, it’s almost like these House Dems live in reality or something.
We need to pay attention what other world citizens think
All I can think of when watching this video is what if the driver had a child in the car, or an old(er) person?
I can’t remember where I read a story on highways that have those constrained shoulders. The story discussed how many states are using narrower shoulders because it is cheaper, but the studies on accidents, or further damage to a car parked on one of these constrained shoulders needs to be done.
And unless the side of the highway drops down steeply why is there a 4’ wall?

Cops side: “I was scared for his life. She MADE me do it.”
Police union: “That’s the line, bud. Keep it up. Sure, She might have a miscarriage AND limp for the rest of her life, but you’ll be allright. Now, go vote pro-life.”
Cop: do you know why I pulled you over?
Driver: you found my TV?
May all go well in the OR and your recovery be smooth.
I tried to look up the law in AR on signaling, or what to do when you’re on the highway and police car wants to pull you over. All I could find in their driver’s manual is that failure to signal your intentions can get you a ticket.
And I’ve seen the postings on FB about what do to if you’re a woman driving at night and you see flashing lights behind you. All the info in the post is what this lady did.
So if this isn’t correct, or isn’t correct in all states it seems to me that it would behoove the state police to get the message out that this isn’t legal in that state.
And on June 1st while I was out and about driving around doing errands it seemed like I couldn’t go a half mile without seeing a police car monitoring for speeding. I realize that the first day of the month is usually when they’re out there to enforce speed limits, but the number of police cars really made an impression on me. And then when I got closer to home they mentioned on the radio the percentage of lost revenue from the lack of people driving during the pandemic. But did they really have to try and make up a year’s loss of revenue in one day?
