Like her or not, Judge Barret is proving herself to be one of the three smartest people in that room. Booker thought he was going to trip her up and landed on his face.
So far Sen. Harris is making speeches and little else.
At least they didn't Kavanaugh Judge Barret.

National Fossil Day
Fossils aren’t just interesting and fun to look at — they’re also proof of the existence of once-living things (like dinosaurs, animals, plants and even DNA remnants). Through these fossils we’re able to learn a lot about life from billions of years ago. We can even take a look at animals and life-forms that are no longer on the planet! These fossils (and the education around them) deserve to be preserved and explored. That’s why we celebrate National Fossil Day annually on the Wednesday of the second full week in October, with this year’s celebration being held on October 14. Show some appreciation for these incredible “time capsules” and the paleontologists who excavate them.
NATIONAL FOSSIL DAY TIMELINE
1974
Lucy was born
Scientists found fossils of a 3.5 million-year-old female hominin (an extinct human species) and named her “Lucy.”
1902
Proof of T-Rex
Researchers uncovered the first Tyrannosaurus Rex remains.
1840s - 1850s
Researchers discovered the Neanderthal
Ancient human fossils were unearthed for the first time, proving the existence of the Neanderthal.
HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL FOSSIL DAY
Hug a paleontologist
Paleontologists are pretty incredible people. They go through lots of schooling and training to be able to study the fossils of all kinds of organisms. It’s because of them that we know a lot about the last few billion years of our planet’s history. Show your appreciation by giving them a hug, and asking them to tell you more!
Check out local events
Every year, the National Park Service partners with various organizations, universities, museums and more to celebrate National Fossil Day. Through field trips, classroom instruction and outdoor activities, they’re spreading awareness about this important holiday.
Visit Your Nearest National Park
Many national parks are passionate about introducing future generations to the science behind fossils and paleontology. These may include anything from scavenger hunts, to multi-day ranger-led activities. Visit your nearest national park and discover all there is to know about this fascinating science!
4 FUN FOSSIL FACTS
They’re insanely valuable
The highest amount ever paid for a dinosaur fossil was $8.3 million (they named it “Sue”).
They can be enormous
The largest intact fossil ever discovered was a whopping 4 square miles!
Anything can be fossilized
The smallest fossil on record was just 2/10 of a millimeter (it was of a 50-million-year-old parasite).
They’re ridiculously old
Next time you're feeling old, just remember some fossils date back to 4.1 billion years.
WHY NATIONAL FOSSIL DAY IS IMPORTANT
We can learn about our planet
A fossil is evidence of past life that’s been preserved in rock. This helps us discover all kinds of shells, plants, animals, and more that existed long before our time. This information helps us understand what was happening during each part of our planet’s history.
We can understand the progression of time
By looking at fossils, researchers have been able to understand how and when organisms appeared and disappeared throughout the passage of time. This is how they’ve been able to divide up the events in our planet’s history into different periods.
We can look toward the future
Each fossil tells a story of the organism it encapsulates, and the details of when it was on the earth. By examining fossils, we can use these stories to help inform us about the future, and how environmental factors (as well as man-made ones) will help influence our planet for future generations.

A newsletter addition could even be something In Character specific to your nation.
NewTexas, Fort verden, Queen falcona stark, and Danish-Nordic Empire
what if we do something like a newsletter, newspaper, or magazine titled (This week in Texas) but each nation submits a story or two and then we vote on which stories get featured then the ones that don't make the cut will then be sent out in the next edition?

Ladies and Gentlemen of Texas
There will not be a regular Daily Post today as I am feeling unwell.
Trec Buddy, I would like to suggest the addition of a playlist of Texans' favorite music/Music About Texas/Music By Texan Singers or Bands. Anyone who wishes to contribute to the playlist gets to add a song to it.
The song I would like to contribute is: All My Ex's Live In Texas by George Strait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuJroujjYDk
George Strait is a Texan Country Singer and this song is about all his Ex's who live in Texas. Nyah ha ha ha! :)

***** Texas Saturday Breakfast *****
Yessiree! New Taco Time! Saturday Breakfast In Place time! Bring out the Drones! The NewTexas Happy Taco Stands, in conjunction with the NewTexas Incendiary Corporation, has approximately 1 trillion of the fastest, lightest drones you have ever seen. This fleet is specially designed to deliver tacos to every man, woman, child, whatever, in Texas, all 2,385,265,000,000 of you.
Today's special breakfast will Saturday Pork Rib & Egg & Cheese Breakfast Tacos [COVID-19 Week XXX Edition]! The Head Smoker at the NewTexas Happy Taco Stands got started a day early for this special new taco. He stayed up all night the night before smoking a couple of hundred million tons of Berkshire Pork St. Louis Ribs just so that he could put them in the fridge, a really, really big one. Last night all the meat was removed from the bones to make this glorious taco. The rib meat is gently heated in the notorious black cast iron skillets with diced potatoes and red onions to form a hash that is then gently placed upon a pile of hearty, rich, yellow, genuine Texas Grade AA scrambled eggs! The hardy mix is wrapped up nice and snugly in not one, but two sturdy corn tortillas, made fresh, in-house, with love. A whole egg in every taco!®
Today's Special Salsa is - Chile Quemado - a fiery roasted salsa made from tomatoes, onions, garlic, and jalapeños roasted fresh on the grill. A sealed cup of Texas-made Monterrey Jack cheese is also included in case you need a cheese fix. The tacos are hermetically-sealed in a Stay-Warm® pouch that is wrapped in the same ol' aluminum foil we are all so familiar with for our breakfast taco. The Juice Bar will not be possible this week. But, for your beverage needs, a packet of Sanka, Tang and a Lipton Tea bag will be included with every delivery as well as salt and pepper and a napkin. Yes, it is different, but it works and you do not even have to leave your residence. Woo! And, watch out for the drones! Start your day off the right way; munch out and go back to sleep. You know you want to!®
Stay Safe Texas. Stay Well.
***** Texas Shout Outs *****
@ Trecdom2 Happy Birthday, Trecdom2! Mr. Secretary of State, you currently hold the distinction of being the oldest active player in Texas and you have the longest tenure of any nation in Texas government having held virtually every position available and many unavailable. Trec arrived in Texas on 09/19/2006 from Zebra Ice Station as The Allied States of Trecdom. Our first thought was, this is one cool dude. Ice Station Zebra is one of our favorite movies of all time and had not even thought of it in 20 years. It turns out, we were right. Trec is a cool dude and definitely deserves the title Honorary Texan IRL. And in NS, Dedicated Texan is the best description. Happy Birthday, Buddy!
@ Fort verden - Get well soon Verner, Buddy!

I've held 4 positions. Started out in the TRC, and then moved to Sec of Space. Did a stretch as Sec Def before taking over the State Dept. I've had no real challengers so I've stayed in the position.

Could have sworn you were Lieutenant Governor or Vice President at some point along the way...
United vinceland and Danish-Nordic Empire
Nope. There was talk of moving up if there was a vacancy, but that never occurred.
BTW, I tried to hop into the chat briefly with no success. It tells me the link is unavailable
It was wonky earlier but got ISP to get it together. Lots of 10KI in there today.
I'd like to run for dog catcher.
Either that or Lord High Executioner. I'm easy.
Ok, so I wasn't doing something wrong after all...

While checking in on my WA puppet it came to my attention that the Lady Kuriko is up for a Commendation from the WA Security Council. ( page=sc )
Let us show this fine lady that at least a couple of us appreciate her efforts in Nation States. If you are WA or have a WA Puppet, lets get cracking and vote for that commendation.

Vincent's Sunday Surprise Beverage Bonanza
Howdy Dudes and Dudettes of Texas!
Today's Sunday Surprise Beverage is Make - Your - Own - Beverage Day! I've got lots of Large Boxes full of drink making ingredients stacked up right here and I'm going to beam them directly into the home of every Texan in Texas. Everyone will receive a Large Box and it'll materialize on the table closest to you. With all the drink ingredients in your box you can make Hot Pumpkin Nogs, Pumpkin and Fruit Smoothies, Harry Potter Pumpkin Juice and Apple Harvest Punch. There's enough ingredients to make 3 glasses of each drink. You can keep the Instructional Guide CD as my gift to you:

Apple Harvest Punch

When blending drinks in your blender always add your ice at the end so it doesn't jam up the blender. Also if you've got alcohol in your house and you desire an alcoholic drink just mix your own booze into the beverages.
And today I've included a large container of Mediterranean Pastry Pinwheels in everyone's boxes too. These quick appetizers are irresistible. The flavors of sun-dried tomatoes and pesto balance beautifully to create a delicious snack for y’all.
I hope y'all enjoy today's Sunday Surprise Snack and Beverages Texans. Yeehaw! :)

Remember, the deadline for newsletter submissions is Wed night. This could be your chance to promote your nation to a wider audience
It can even be a brief statement such as, RandomNation 2 has crowned a new Monarch. Long Live King John Doe II
NewTexas, Yip Man, Fort verden, and Danish-Nordic Empire
I've been reading through some of the news and public statements about Facebook and Twitter blocking links to the New York Post story on Hunter Biden's computer. Twitter even goes so far as to lock accounts that post anything linking that article or the contents of the hard drive until that particular Tweet is removed. Facebook suspended numerous accounts belonging to people attempting to circumvent the automated link killer process.
This latest shenanigans out of our social media moguls might have been the last straw that invokes some nuclear action. The Republican National Committee along with a half dozen conservative groups filed an official complaint with Federal Election Commission against Twitter for cutting off the accounts of the Washington Post and others Tweeting that story. The RNC lawyers call Twitter's action a payment in goods or services. They claim Twitter gave in in kind donation to the Biden campaign that is almost priceless. (Or words to that effect.) While this is kind of a stretch, it is by no means out of reality's reach. There is precedent going back to the Hush Rush attempts and station ownership complaints in the 80's.
It is my understanding that a similar complaint against Facebook will be forthcoming Monday or Tuesday.
I think Zuckerberg and Jack bit off more than they can chew this time. These two social media moguls now have the undivided attention of numerous senate committees, including the Judiciary Committee. There is also more than a passing interest by several branches of federal law enforcement.
Frankly, I think we will see legislation fairly quickly after the election. It is going to come down fast and hard. My guess is the common carrier immunity is going to be revoked.
This leaves me with mixed emotions. Frankly, Twitter and Facebook openly playing silly buggers against one political side was done at their own free will. The Zuckerberg and Jack made their beds, they can lie in them. This is a good thing. If there is a penalty to paid for screwing around with the free flow of information about government and candidates running for elected office, maybe these clowns will knock it off.
However, when the government sticks its legislative fingers into the private sector, the government screws it up, everytime. There are a thousand ways this could go bad for you and I and the rest of us consumers. It is pretty much a sure bet, whatever our lawgivers do is going to end up taking some of the shine off those platforms for all of us.
