My vocal cords cancer update

Finished the 6 weeks of radiation last week, throat area badly sun burnt, has peeled once already, told
it will probably peel several times and even crack open. Still very tender to the touch when applying
the recommended ointment. Guessing like a 3rd or 4th degree burn.

Coughing up a lot thick slimy stuff constantly, have to keep a disposable cup handy at computer desk
and while watching TV. Fill them up 3 or 4 times a day.

Sleeping has averaged only 1 to 3 hours at a time so I'm constantly tired, although last night I got 5 hours
without waking up. Hope that's a good sign.

Some other symptoms I'm having point to a problem with my thyroid (from a WWW search) which is close
to the vocal cords. Have follow up appointment tomorrow so will ask Doc.

When talking voice is real low, Doc said it'll be about 4 months before we know if it returns to normal.
Good news is I'm still alive! Sure have missed messing with the repugs every Friday night over at the
VFW, Doc said 6 more weeks of no alcohol, so I'll get to put in my 2 cents just prior to the midterms.

What I'd love to see Joe Biden do for the midterms

Host a 1 hour special in prime time on a Sunday night in which he lays out the stuff he'd like to accomplish
in the next 2 years.

Start by asking why the United States with the largest economy in the world doesn't have the highest
standard of living in the world. (Will need to challenge viewers to google....."Countries with highest
standard of living" ) FYI, United States isn't even in the top 10. Plus Rs think we're #1.

Then start asking why these European countries can pay better wages, give workers mandatory 30 days
vacation, have free college, lower health care costs, less homelessness and less crime, etc, etc

Explain that they tax the rich like Ike did in the 50's but never gave them big tax breaks like the Rs
always do over here. (Get Robert Reich to explain how trickle down doesn't work?)

List all the things Rs voted against which would have helped most people save money, voted against
lowering gas & oil prices, against lower insulin costs, etc, etc. And ask why they did this.

Then inform the viewers this is what he'd love to accomplish. To be determined by him but might include......

1) make abortion legal in all 50 States..........appeals to caring people, mostly women

2) increase SS payments by ??? dollars a month..........appeals to senior citizens who always vote

3) eliminate college tuition at all State run schools, maybe even trade schools.....appeals to parents who can't afford it

4) increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour..........appeals to everyone making less

5) medicare for all with lower premiums ...........should appeal to everyone

6) etc, etc

Then explain that he can't do all this by himself but needs their HELP to keep the House & Senate in
Democrat's control so we can MAGA. "HELP me help you, let's not have another do nothing congress."

Website with R's voting against their constituents would be helpful........HELP Joe help you .com?

If Biden is to busy to do this then a lot of TV commercials pointing out we're in a war of the rich vs
the poor and the ultra rich started it because of greed. Same people who paid to have our Capitol
attacked on Jan 6th because they were scared to death of having their taxes raised.

One of the best anti-republican ads ever?

What some of the latest elections have shown us is that women are MAD about Roe vs Wade and they're
out in force voting. Here's an ad idea that might turn a Blue Wave into a Tidal Wave with 60+ Senators.

Imagine a Courtroom scene where vile elected republicans are the Judges,

!st little girl says "I was raped by my uncle"

Moscow Mitch says "I'm gonna teach you not to let your uncle do that, enjoy being a mommy" Drops Gavel

2nd little girl says "I was only playing post office"

Matt Gaetz says "Would you like to come over to my house little girl before you deliver?" Drops Gavel

3rd little girl says "But your Honor I'm only in the 4th grade"

M T Greene says "No problem, your school allows breast feeding during class" Drops Gavel

4th girl states "My Doctor says this fetus is killing me"

Lindsey Graham says "Congressmen are smarter than Doctors, have a nice baby" Drops Gavel

5th girl states "My Doctor says my fetus has no brain"

Gym Jordan says "Great this country needs more brainless workers, carry to term" Drops Gavel

6th girl states "But your Honor that was the closest hospital that could help me"

Ted Cruz says "You crossed State lines? Bailiff LOCK HER UP!" Drops Gavel

Maybe have the words Social Security, Medicare, Education, etc posted on the front of the Judges desk
or on the wall behind them within a circle with a slash mark. "This is what we're going after next"

After the Gavel Drop, Judge(s) stand up, open their robes and reveal a tRump-2024 T-shirt.

Ad like this would remind voters it was Rs who stacked the courts and it's time to un-elect ALL republicans.
Still believe it's best to attack them as a group, we just need to get people MAD as hell at them.

If you believe this would be an effective ad, please share with everyone you think should see it or has
the ability to make a video. Had a similar idea last week, here's it's link.......

NEED HELP with Jerry Moran's email newsletters.

I do and keep all of them in the hopes that he's said something really stupid that could be used against
him in the upcoming midterms. Went to go back to the 1st one after the 2020 election to see what he
had to say about tRumpie winning or losing and surprise surprise, I forgot I switched internet suppliers
roughly 9 months after the election so I don't have them.

Anyone here subscribe to them and still have them? Please let me know if you do, thanks.

Is this the answer to not losing the House?

Let's look at the big picture. The #1 threat to our Democracy is the MAGA Fascist Cult lead by FailCoupGuy.
A lot of these MAGAts will be running for "Down Ballot" positions in the midterms. We'd like to vote them all
out of office correct? So let's flat out attack MAGAts as a group unworthy of political power from top
to bottom.

Can/will the DNC start making 30 or 60 second ads attacking tfg & MAGAts as a group that can't be
trusted with power at all levels of our Government? And flood ABC/CBS/NBC in prime time with the ads?

They could get The Lincoln Project, Meidas Touch, Republicans For The Rule Of Law and all the anti-tRump
R groups to pitch in and help. Remember these are Rs who watched their beloved party go down a
rabbit hole on account of MAGAts and their leader and wanted no part of Fascism.

Get some well known Rs to do some the ads, GW Bush, Dick Cheney, Bill Kristol, Arnold Schwarzenegger,
other trusted people, Dolly Parton, Morgan Freeman, Oprah Winfrey, Robert Redford, etc.

Do it the Joseph Goebbels way, keep telling it over and over and over, flood the airways with anti MAGA
ads telling the truth about their cult movement for the last few weeks leading into the midterms. Would
catch them completely off balance with no time to regroup. Remember the Willie Horton ad?

Show all the Fascist traits the MAGA movement possesses with the "Is This How You Make America Great
Again?" caption/quote.

Show how tfg with his cabinet picks & postmaster general have dismantled their departments.
"Is This How You Make America Great Again?"

Attack the MAGAts voting records protecting tfg, while reminding voters that 50 years ago all repugs
found Richard Nixon guilty. But today only a handful are willing to tell the truth. "Is This How You Make
America Great Again?" caption/quote.

Show clips of the Jan 6th attack, "Is This How tfg planned To Make America Great Again?"

Ask why Putler only invited R Senators to a Moscow July the 4th gathering. "Is This How You Make
Russia Great Again?" caption/quote. And name them.

Find a video clip of tfg pleading the fifth over & over again (440 times) with a catchy question. Do the
same with all his enablers who refuse to talk to the Jan 6th Committee or the DOJ. "Is This How You Make
America Great Again?" caption/quote.

Remind voters a simple DNA test would clear tfg of a rape charge, but he refuses.

Flash photos of Judges, Doctors, Nurses, election workers who have gotten death threats from MAGAts
with a "Is This How You Make America Great Again?" caption/quote.

Show all the Rs who have mentioned Civil War or have said "All Democrats need to die" "Is This How You
Make America Great Again?" caption/quote.

If you haven't guessed it by now, all the ads should have the "Is This How You Make America Great Again?"
caption/quote. Let's use their rallying cry against them because they have done nothing to MAGA.

Don't forget a Roe vs Wade or SCOTUS ad, these are just the tip of the iceberg. Let's SHOW VOTERS
the truth with small ads and pound it into their heads.

Let's flood the airwaves with ads rational people will have a difficult time disagreeing with. Remember the
Willie Horton ad! Two can play this game and we'll do it with truth not exaggerations.

On a side note, do we have undeniable proof of Russia funneling money to the R party? Still wondering
about July 4th & the NRA. "Is This How You Make America Great Again?"
