We will be OUTSIDE this week on the balcony, enjoying what should be mid-70s F spring weather. Just ask a server where Drinking Liberally is if you don't spot us.

Many of us attended one or more of the various No Kings events this past Saturday, 28 March. Change is possible! As per World Population Review, in 2026 there are approximately 276.8 million adults in the United States ( https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/united-states ).
The "3.5% rule" states that when 3.5% of the adult population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall. 3.5% of 276.8 million = 9.69 million. Estimates of the attendance at the No Kings rallies of Saturday 28 March 2026 are estimated to have been at least 8-9 million, which is VERY close to the 9.69 million that would meet the 3.5% rule.

Meanwhile, There are still millions of Trump-Epstein files to be released. Let us not be "lulled" into forgetfulness of the Trump-Epstein files by the various other issues that rightfully compete for our attention: rising prices, employment struggles, Iran war, ICE activities, insider trading, and so much more.

Please note that several "regulars" show up most weeks, and therefore do not RSVP. Don't worry if you are new and only see a few RSVPs if you look at Meetup :) Anyone is welcome (as long as they are civil), and we talk about pretty much ANYthing -- some of which is political and plenty that is just life in general :)
