It's another Thursday. Another nearly finished week where I find myself tired of the neverending cycles of news. It's not that I pay too much attention or too little. It's not that I don't enjoy being up to date on what is happening in and around the country. I do. That isn't even the problem.

The problem is nothing is changing. The shadow of TFG Cult and Crime syndicate is everywhere. Joe Manchin seems to think he's the President as well as the only Senator. The media has the same narrative: everything is either chaotic, parties are at war, Dems are divided, and the list goes on.

Dems are not divided. There are two members of the Senate essentially gumming up the works. Our democracy is in peril, I think we can all acknowledge that. I get tired of media (social, broadcast, and print) pointing out the causes when we have ways to treat the symptoms and stop the disease.

We know the cause already. Those that have the ability to do something about it must start doing so. Right now everything I see, read and watch just seems like a re-run of a bad TV show.

I know, because I've taken to actually watching old re-runs as a respite from the doom and gloom on constant repeat. At least they are predictable and I know how they are gonna end.

Anyway, let's start our slide into a fall weekend.
