Something from the executive editor of the American conservative magazine The National Review, founded by conservative journalist William F. Buckley, Jr., in 1955 and who was really no fan of tRump.

Me either, Joe. Me either.

"Human beings must involve themselves in the anguish of other human beings.
This, I submit to you, is not a political thesis at all. It is simply an expression of what I would hope might be ultimately a simple humanity for humanity's sake." - Rod Serling

Let’s do this.

As I told our summer intern on what was the kid’s last day at the newspaper before he heads back to get ready for his final year at the University of Wisconsin/Whitewater, RFK Jr. is beaucoup dinky dau.

In summary …

I absolutely love adding words to the vocabulary. 😉

DUCKWORTH!

I’ve actually told people if they support the Mango Mussolini and and his fraud running mate J.D. Vance, don’t waste any oxygen thanking me for my service or that of my son Ryan’s and his ultimate sacrifice in Iraq. Just save it.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services expects to select the next 15 drugs for negotiation by February 1, 2025, although Trump and the Republicans have vowed to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act conferring on the government the ability to negotiate drug prices, so a Trump-Vance victory would presumably change that plan. - Heather Cox Richardson

A note from writer Mindy Fischer.

“So I was just reading that Georgia just purged hundreds of thousands of voters off the voter rolls. I have voted in every election here in Atlanta since I moved here 11 years ago. There's no reason I should be removed but I thought I'd double check just in case. And goddammit I'm no longer registered. So I had to reregister and now wait for them to update the rolls.
Check your voter registration in whatever state you live in. It's important!“ - Mindy Fischer

Of course, so many won’t bother to read it. I haven’t read all of it but what I have read is kinda scary should it ever be implemented. Let’s put it this way: I didn’t swear an oath to the U.S. Constitution (which needs some changes to be updated) and nearly get my head blown off in Iraq (bullshit war) just to see some dim bulb asshats and knuckle heads come along and shove us backwards decades if not a couple hundred years. Screw that shit!

Gotta love this.

“I’m proud that Minnesota’s First Dog is a rescue dog, and I hope Scout—who has been a very good boy—serves as reminder for Minnesotans that there are a lot of pups waiting to be adopted.” - Tim Walz
