Ha, finally a question I can answer.  
 

The weather has been fine here in Australia.  A little cool and wet for the season but warming up a bit today.  Had a couple of nice beach days a week ago, and a nice evening at the Australian Open a few days ago.  Much nicer here than Texas, where ZippY, our Tesla, is parked.  She (ZippY) reports being quite cold some days. 
 

We will be migrating to French Polynesia for February and expect to be extremely warm there.  Hopefully we will not encounter any typhoons!

Haleon Issues Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Robitussin Honey CF Max Day Adult and Robitussin Honey CF Max Nighttime Adult Products Due to Microbial Contamination

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – January 24, 2024 – Warren, NJ, Haleon is voluntarily recalling eight lots of Robitussin Honey CF Max Day Adult and Robitussin Honey CF Max Nighttime Adult to the consumer level. The product is being recalled due to microbial contamination.

In immunocompromised individuals, the use of the affected product could potentially result in severe or life-threatening adverse events such as fungemia or disseminated fungal infection. In non-immunocompromised consumers, the population most likely to use the product, life-threatening infections are not likely to occur. However, the occurrence of an infection that may necessitate medical intervention cannot be completely ruled out.

Bill thank you for the recall notice.

I have just gotten rid of a cold and have been taking Robitussin.  I checked the recall, and I am good.  I guess my nose will not fall off and I will not get microbial contamination.

The Border problem. 

GOP senators seethe as Trump blows up delicate immigration compromise

 

By Manu Raju, Melanie Zanona, Lauren Fox and Ted Barrett, CNN  (website)

Thu January 25, 2024

Senior Senate Republicans are furious that Donald Trump may have killed an emerging bipartisan deal over the southern border, depriving them of a key legislative achievement on a pressing national priority and offering a preview of what’s to come with Trump as their likely presidential nominee.

In recent weeks, Trump has been lobbying Republicans both in private conversations and in public statements on social media to oppose the border compromise being delicately hashed out in the Senate, according to GOP sources familiar with the conversations – in part because he wants to campaign on the issue this November and doesn’t want President Joe Biden to score a victory in an area where he is politically vulnerable.

Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell acknowledged in a private meeting on Wednesday that Trump’s animosity toward the yet-to-be-released border deal puts Republicans in a serious bind as they try to move forward on the already complex issue. For weeks, Republicans have been warning that Trump’s opposition could blow up the bipartisan proposal, but the admission from McConnell was particularly striking, given he has been a chief advocate for a border-Ukraine package. .................................................>

Alex sees an ad in the newspaper that says “Circus Looking for New Talents”.

Alex says to himself, “Eh, what the heck. I’m pretty talented.” and calls the circus.

A lady answers him. “Hello,” she says.

“Hi, is this the circus?”

“Yes.”

“I’ve heard you’re hiring.”

“You’ve heard correctly, sir. What is your name?”

“Alex.”

“Alright then, Alex, what makes you think you can join the circus?”

“Well, I have several talents… for example, I can shoot a three-pointer in basketball, like five times in a row.”

“O… Okay… That’s quite impressive, sir, but it’s really not what we’re looking for. I think maybe you should call the NB…”

“No, no, wait! I… I can hula hoop for like 30 seconds straight!”

Thank you for posting the recall for Robitussin. I had just purchased the products but had not opened them. It could have been very bad for me and I wouldn't have known what caused the problem.

Nelson, Life may be short (unfortunately short), however, as has been noted:  Politics is a contact sport.  I like sports and I like contact...some more than others.  But, at this stage of my life, my brain can take the "contact" much better than my 78 year old body!  Love you Walker AFB buddy!  And, I am pleased to note that last week or so, I "suddenly" began to get my daily RHS emails.  Thank you, whomever was responsible!

Trump, House Republicans plot to kill border deal.

 By Stef W. Knight  

Republican and Democratic senators are taking to the airwaves, scrambling to pass severe restrictions on migrants flooding across the U.S.-Mexico border. There's just one thing: Their plan is all but dead. 

The Senate might pass the plan, which would be one of the harshest immigration bills of the century. President Biden is ready to sign it. But House Republicans — egged on by former President Trump — already are planning to shut it down.

 Illegal immigration has rocketed to the top of voters' concerns, and Biden has become increasingly desperate for a solution. Trump and conservative Republicans see a political opportunity to squeeze Biden and Democrats on the issue.

Trump, whose front-runner status in the Republican presidential race has solidified his leadership of the GOP, has loudly vowed to kill the bipartisan border deal.

It's not going to happen, and I'll fight it all the way," Trump said Saturday in Nevada.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has fallen in line. He called the deal "dead on arrival" on Friday, then doubled down over the weekend, claiming it wouldn't do enough to stop illegal border crossings. ------>

A sign of Trump's influence: Oklahoma's GOP voted Saturday to censure Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) for being a lead negotiator in the border policy discussions.  ----------->
