CNN CHYRON earlier this morning:

IN Governor Holcomb visited Israel last week invited by Netanyahu - unannounced

Governor Eric Holcomb of Indiana was already in the air on the flight to the meeting before it was announced.
Reports say it was not in conjunction in any way with Anthony Blinken's trip.
It was paid for out of private funds raised for his last inauguration this year as Indiana Governor.

Weird timing. Weird invitation. Somewhat Weird guy to ask with all that's going on over there.
A statement seemed to have a cover of Israel and Indiana joint economic interests, but that was nebulous at best.

Any ideas ?

If I was writing a novel of foreign intrigue, I would posit the government of Israel used him to send a message back to the Republican Party here.

There is a picture of him shaking hands with Israel's foreign minister at the link below.

Abbie - Jerry 2nd cousins

What are Abbie and Edward to each other?

What are Helen and Edward to each other?


I know it has to be a removed cousins situation but I'm clueless after that.
Thanks in advance for explaining this to me. I appreciate your time and typing...

The new ads on DU that take the entire screen are....

Really annoying. Only way to close them is the back button and then you return to forum menu, not the article you thought you would read.
Not cool.
Really annoying.
Won't make me buy anything.
I will just watch
Two Broke Girls instead.

What are the odds the Chinese Rocket Plunges into Mara-Loco?

Whatever the odds, I gotta like them.

I switched AntiVirus software this week. Dropped AVAST. Went to McAfee. My laptop sped up...

My laptop sped up, noticeably, after the switch. Nice Bonus.

I'm not too adventurous on the internets, and I've used McAfee before.
Got tired of Avast's multiple licenses, add ons, and daily pricing changes to renew.

If I ran Coca-Cola and if Coke delivers direct to Mara

Loco. I would cut off deliveries until he begged me to start them up again. I'd publicize all communication from him too.

Isn't Bridgerton the most horribly bad show ever?

WTH?

Irishman of the Year !

Is the word FILIBUSTER even in the US Constitution?

Hoping someone knows so I don't have to look it up myself. I'm lazy.
And if it is not even in there, why does it screw around with so damn much?
