Morning, campers. Sorry for falling off the face of the earth, but I was really sick for two days. Finally starting to feel better today.

"According to her 2023 financial disclosures, [VP] Harris's 2019 memoir, 'The Truths We Hold,' earned just $234.13 in royalties last year. It isn't a new book, of course, but judging by the rapid decline of Harris' royalties, the book had a shelf life shorter than the appeal of its purported author's laugh."
Source. Editing mine. In 2022, that same book made $325,000 in royalty earnings according to the New York Post. So she was rewarded pretty well for book that was probably purchased by schools and universities and not too many others.
How many more times do we have to put up with this kind of financial prop-ups for people who aren't that capable?

New Dutch Government Tries to Save the Country Geert Wilders won't be PM, but he is the leader of the largest party in government. And they have a specific plant to reduce migrants and forcing those now in the country to learn Dutch and limit chain migration. This is a country to watch for the next two years.

Blinken's visit to Ukraine was bad enough this week with playing guitar in a bar, but the worst part was going to eat pizza at a known neo-Nazi establishment.

Reply to vxbush in 5:
his guitar playing does not seem to have done the job, so I think they will wheel out the big guns next. I am referring, of course, to James Taylor singing “you’ve got a friend“.
