Well, we have definitely moved into the summertime, cold lemonade, cold sweet tea that seems to be the beverage of choice here on the back porch. I think the last time I looked just before we came out here. Temperature was sitting at pretty much 90°. I’m focused on temperatures only because right now this week and a large part of last week the temperature in DC has been extremely high. I’d be willing to bet around the halls of government there in Washington the sale of anti-acids is probably gonna to go up. The the house got their job done and passed the bill onto the Senate and the Senate they did their thing and now they’ve sent it back of course to the house for for their approval  and then if they vote on it and then if it passes it’ll go to the presidents desk. These elected officials whom if they were just appointed…well anyone of sound mind would not put half of them there. These folks are elected to represent us and make sure the voice of the people is heard. It is my thought after a hard ponder that after their orientation they belong to their party and their caucus. I am not going to spend to many words on this…to hot out here. Welcome to the porch…Lisa Ann Murkowski Who is this lady? She is an American attorney and politician serving as the senior United States senator from Alaska, having held the seat since 2002. She is the first woman to represent Alaska in the Senate and the Senate’s second-most senior Republican woman, after Susan Collins of Maine. Wikipedia  She has been a thorn in the side of conservative Republicans for years. This lady does not like President Trump and has the disposition of a coiled rattlesnake. Me, I like our President, I like Alaska and now I like the Senator from Alaska. Now the thing about the porch is we don’t make decisions or solve problems here…we just Ponder. So I ask you to Ponder This… What did she do? She voted for that “big beautiful bill” She did what the people of Alaska sent her to Washington to do, Lisa Ann Murkowski took care of the folks who sent her there.

“Murkowski opposing the legislation until she secured clean energy tax credits, assurances of oil drilling leases and other priorities for her state.” (Fox News)

It is rare when a politician puts their constituents ahead of their agendas.
