Follow the money often says a lot about what's happening and why. <br /><br />I am interested in how this year will go with the House now firmly in the hands of one party. I suspect I'll be following the news less closely than I have, as when nothing can be done, it's all about irritation or upset. My life provides me enough of that without going looking for it. I have been very happy I quit doing the political blog and stick to Rainy Day Thoughts where I 'try' to keep it positive. Before, I felt compelled to comment on what was happening, and it didn't really help my bp or emotions. Once in a while I am tempted to thrust a political thought out, but I satisfy it by here or FB as I don't follow political writers beyond the big sites like Intercept, Federalist, Politico, Guardian, etc. I think I'll do less of them in '19.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-4603980915408873922018-12-31T13:27:10.065-08:002018-12-31T13:27:10.065-08:00Rain: as I say in the post, this was an independen...Rain: as I say in the post, this was an independent expenditure by the union. That's often how unions do political work. Their members endorse via their representative structure (imperfect, but real); their staff organize.janinsanfranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07548452260456734928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-11097501016740472852018-12-31T11:32:47.887-08:002018-12-31T11:32:47.887-08:00Did you ever find out who paid the costs behind th...Did you ever find out who paid the costs behind this effort? While the volunteers got nothing, it sounds like money was expended. Was it open who it was or one of those 'black' sites?Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.com
