Layers of possibilities, Bill, starting with Comcast, perhaps, during the peak of the anti-Israel over Gaza protests in the spring of '24. It will never be clear, given the communications between me and their technical trouble shooter, what was causing the Emails to not be transmitted or even sent to my Gmail back up...when I dove into it further with other people's complaints and online diagnoses it seems that if you had a lot of kick backs from bad addresses, which I did, it might designate you as a "spammer" by some algorithmic power outside of Comcast that monitors that...got very convoluted. At any rate I paused sending stuff out to take a break, did some clean up and then resumed until the apparent blow back from Dem Legislators also I take it over my comments on Israel - no matter how much I grounded my own conclusions from the best experts I could find including the leading scholar on the steps to "genocide."
To this day, although my postings do go out and get through to my Email audience, I would say that 98% of the times when I first log in to Comcast to visit my Email, I do not get through and there seems to be a layer of three excuses - we're busy , no connection, try again later - that I work through in usually under 2 minutes. Technical incompetence on Comcast's part - or deliberate frustration on someone who filed a complaint at the MD AG's office? Again, I'll never know and their first line of Email technical support was never any help during the spring, not even in the ball game of diagnosing my problems. Overseas I believe from the language/accent troubles.
We'll see what happens when things really heat up over Trump - and he's not wasting any time is he, wants to get everything through the time window...perhaps understandably for dealing with a new "crusading" administration, the Dems are on the defensive, maybe worse, and they will need to pick the grounds well for their fights. The amazing "first thing" to me, is after a decade, 2015-2025, they have been unable to break Trump's monopoly on the domination of the news, such a constant flow of issues that it drowns out the outrageous, damning things he says which are just pushed out of mind like he never uttered them, like the "vermin" statement in NH in his Veterans Day speech, 2024. Had anyone on the left spoken the equivalent - and I don't know what that would be - they would be driven from office if not public life, like Jamaal Bowman.
Perhaps the best accounting on Trump should be ideological: when his programs are toted up after 3-6 months, how many will have helped his working class voters...as opposed to his mid and small business owner supporters? It will be very program light on direct help to the poorest of his constituents, and like 2016-2020 will rely on the programs for the wealthy and larger businesses to fuel overall growth...how long the recovery from 2019 will continue, and the financial markets continue their rocket ascent... well, it's already, since 2009 defied the classic works in the field on speculation.

Bill - looks like you were censored (blocked) by Democratic Legislators, not x-finity email. Is that right?
