Week Ahead

I will be doing an opinion post on the 2022 election on Tuesday, Nov 22.  If you wish to include a personal commentary, I’d be glad to include it in the blog.  Send as an e-mail response.  (My e-address is in the upper left corner of this blog.)

There is a very relevant Human Rights program on Ukraine on Thursday of this week.  Register, and more information, here.  I am an active member of the Board of the sponsoring organization, Citizens for Global Solutions MN.  The program is free, but pre-registration is required.

Episode 7 of Rachel Maddow’s Ultra podcast is now available.  I have followed this since the first episode, and it is outstanding and informative about the near miss of our country with Fascism in the pre- and WWII years.

If you have even the slightest interest in the threat to democracy we have been living through, you are urged to listen to all 7 episodes thus far; if only one, listen to #7.  Those with any connection to North Dakota – Bill Langer and William Nye become key players….  A Minnesota Senator is centerpiece in Episode 1.

There is one episode following this one, I presume it airs next Monday.  Each episode is about 45 minutes or so and all are accessible on-line.

POSTNOTE:  We spent the last four days – Nov 9-13 –  in New York State at a family event.  No politics.  People from all over the U.S.  Most time in Rochester NY.  My personal favorite snapshot in the four days at American Falls at Niagara.
