You obviously never learned how to watch TV for anything but exciting stuff like Memphis in a bowl game or the NCAAT. Or in your case, any soccer match in the world.
I rarely watch any TV program. What I do is keep it on the most interesting program possible (often a hard ask) and muted, look up now and then, and when something is interesting, I turn on the sound. If it's REALLY interesting, I'll run it back and watch whatever I missed. Otherwise, I'm in the room doing anything else but watching TV.
Last night the Braves were off, so the convention was about the only live thing on. I almost never watch taped TV shows, b/c they always edit out the goofs and flubs and funny stuff.
I didn't listen to a word of the daughter, or AOC, or Hillary, or most of the other stuff. But I did listen to Biden b/c I figured that was his swan song.
So that's how you watch a convention, lol.
I played poker.
I watched zero.
I knew we would get the cliffs
I didn't either. I've got a weak stomach for liars and stupid people. 5 million charging stations... LOL
Heck, with that lie even the Commie press did the teenage thing with their eyes.
I would say I have a low tolerance for hypocrites and bald faced liars.
Quote:Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is set to deliver a prime-time speech at the Democrat National Convention (DNC) on Tuesday evening in Chicago. The speech will focus on healthcare issues, a controversial topic for the far-left governor.
While Lujan Grisham enjoys her position in the national spotlight as she auditions for a potential posting in the nonexistent Harris regime, it’s essential to reflect on her contentious record, particularly her harsh pandemic lockdowns and extreme abortion stance.
Lujan Grisham is no stranger to the DNC stage, having spoken remotely at the 2020 convention from a solar array in New Mexico as she had New Mexico under cruel lockdowns during COVID-19.
Her lockdown measures were some of the most severe in the nation, shuttering businesses and keeping families separated for months on end. While the governor claimed these measures were necessary, many New Mexicans suffered immensely, with businesses permanently closing and countless livelihoods disrupted. She also repeatedly flouted these lockdown orders, in one case, to buy jewelry at a shuttered business she had reopened just for her.
Despite the harsh pandemic measures, Lujan Grisham seems more focused on her radical agenda, particularly her obsession with abortion. She has staunchly advocated for abortion up to birth, the most radical stance possible.
In 2021, she signed a bill overturning New Mexico’s long-dormant state abortion protections, effectively making the state a hub for late-term abortions. Lujan Grisham’s priorities have consistently aligned with radical pro-abortion policies, ignoring the values of many in her state.
On Tuesday, Lujan Grisham will share the stage with high-profile Democrats like Barack and Michelle Obama at the United Center, once again positioning herself as a national figure.
While her speech is expected to focus on health care, her record in New Mexico tells a different story—one of failed leadership during the pandemic and a fixation on abortion at the expense of other critical issues, such as crime, which she has only recently begun to focus on as Albuquerque ranks 20th most deadly city in the world.
In addition to her speech, Lujan Grisham will participate in a panel discussion with actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus and other female Democrat governors on Wednesday. While the governor enjoys the attention of the national stage, her record in New Mexico is a stark reminder of the damage caused by her lockdown policies and her extreme stance on abortion.
New Mexico continues to struggle with a shortage of healthcare providers, and Lujan Grisham’s administration has attempted to address this by recruiting abortion doctors and pro-abortion nurses from Texas. However, her policies—particularly during the pandemic—have done little to resolve the state’s chronic healthcare challenges. Under her leadership, malpractice insurance skyrocketed for doctors, forcing countless providers to flee to other states where they would not be sued into bankruptcy due to New Mexico’s sue-happy laws that favor trial attorneys — not patients or providers.
Lujan Grisham’s political ambitions have always been clear, and her national presence at the DNC further cements her continued attempt for the spotlight. However, New Mexicans must not forget the consequences of her policies: brutal lockdowns that harmed businesses and communities and her unwavering commitment to an abortion-up-to-birth agenda that remains out of step with many in her state.
