Lindsey Graham Supports Diane Feinstein

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) thwarted a resolution introduced by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to temporarily replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) on the Judiciary Committee.

Feinstein, who has missed dozens of votes this year due to shingles, has also been suffering from a mental decline for several years. She faces loudening calls to resign so California Governor Gavin Newsom can appoint a Democratic replacement to serve out her term, which ends in January 2025.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) praised Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) as a “titanic figure” on Tuesday before decrying what McConnell characterized as an attempt to “sideline” the Judiciary Committee member.

The 89-year-old Feinstein was diagnosed with shingles, a painful nerve virus in February and after a stint in the hospital, has spent the time since then recovering at her home in California.

This is chocolate tube slime mold apparently having a conversation.

Peace.

Three flashes of a gun and he was dead.

My heart aches for the death of Gerson a.k.a. Chachi of Tamarindo on Friday night. He was the son of my best friend and he was only 23. Chachi was a surf instructor and taught hundreds, if not thousands of tourists. He surfed with my son and helped him hone his skills. His big personality and smile captivated people instantly. He loved animals and they loved him, he had a special touch. He embodied the best of Costa Rica.

The police said Chachi was being chased on his motorcycle according to witnesses, was shot once from 20 meters away and two more shots from close range according to the shell casings. So, it was a hit and no one has any idea why.

Chachi became a proud father for the first time 2 months ago. At the very least, Chachi left us a piece of his heart -- his son.

Pura vida, Chachi.
