Yes, he’s a Republican. You had to ask? For ye have the poor always with you, Jesus said. Now, maybe COVID. And Trumpism? It won’t be going away anytime soon. Even if he does. Jesus taught that we should love our neighbors. Trump taught disciples they could lie shamelessly and get away with it. The lesson took. Freshman Rep. George Santos (R) of New York may have lied to voters about 95 percent of his resume. The hammer is yet to come down for that. Meantime, he holds a seat in Congress. Freshman Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R) of Florida variously described herself as Middle Eastern, Jewish or Eastern European when she served at Whiteman Air Force Base in Warrensburg, Mo., per friends’ accounts to the Washington Post. She did not at that time identify as Hispanic, they say. Her last name then was Mayerhofer. A Christian, Luna told Jewish Insider in November that she was “raised as a Messianic Jew by her father.” Also, “I am also a small fraction Ashkenazi.” Except three members of her extended family told the Post her father was Catholic. Her late grandfather, Heinrich Mayerhofer, relatives said, served in the Wehrmacht as a teenager.

Another Pair of Granny Panties: For day three (if I’m not feeling sexy and don’t end up wearing the thong).

A Backup Pair of Granny Panties: I might need to change midday if I have more discharge than usual.

A Pair of Period Granny Panties: Even though I got my period last week, and it’s been pretty regular since I started my new birth control, you can never be too prepared!
