Yes, one paper telling you about one nebulous org informs you of everything, Sure Jan.; 10/2/26, 9:22 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: On second thought : "The View host Sunny Hostin calls Cornell 7 case grotesque after backlash"

She has no backbone. She's not serious about anything.; 10/2/26, 9:40 PM
NT Dave said...: Today was special.
Whenever you're having a problem with an app, the "Help" instructions always say to make sure you're using the latest version. After 25 years of computer use and too many problems an update actually fixed something.; 10/2/26, 9:41 PM
Josephbleau said...: If I was the Republican senate candidate in North Carolina I would go on tv and say:

My Friends and fellow citizens of the Tar Heel State, I see in the published polls that I am behind by 8 or 10% in the senate race. I feel that simple Republican principles of jobs for Americans and discouraging foreign countries from destroying good North Carolina companies and their hard working employees is something that we all should support, but the polls say that importing cheap labor and increasing unemployment for our children is attractive to you all.

So I am at a loss. In the recent devastating floods of Western North Carolina, the Democrats were proven to bypass the homes of Republicans and give money to Democrat voters. Is this what you want?

If so, vote against me. And rally to democrats who withhold help from you if you do not vote their way. If not, vote for me, and we can work to have honest government who does not divide us, that helps us all in time of need.

And God Bless North Carolina, and its people, however you vote!; 10/2/26, 9:46 PM
Jim at said...: Will Trump still be President after the midterms? Yes.

And will Congress - no matter who's in charge - still sit on their asses and do nothing? Yes.

Will I still be stuck in a deep blue state - where my vote doesn't matter one bit - after the midterms? Yes, again.

Wake me up when it's over.; 10/2/26, 10:05 PM

Trump secured our border. That alone kept us from going down the path of England, France, and Sweden. So pretending nothing of consequence has happened is wrong.
Will he still be President after the midterms? Yes.
Will Congress sit on their asses and do nothing? If the Democrats take over, they’ll do worse. They’ll impede our President at every turn.
And your vote matters more than you think. House seats are won district by district, and even deep blue states have districts that can flip. Trump is campaigning for Republicans and asking us to turn out. Red state or deep blue state, vote Republican in November.; 10/2/26, 10:25 PM
Inga said...: “Today Trump said he had the chance to impeach Hillary Clinton, but he didn’t because it was inappropriate. Huh? Can any of you Trump whisperers explain what he meant?

“Donald Trump made this statement on October 2, 2026, while speaking to reporters outside the White House.
Context of the Remarks
• The Question: According to HuffPost, a reporter asked Trump how he viewed the possibility of a third impeachment if Democrats won control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections.
• The Response: Trump joked that he was "getting good at it" and dismissed previous proceedings as a "fake impeachment".
• The Mention of Clinton and Biden: Trump stated, "It's a fake impeachment, and we could've done that with 'Sleepy' Joe [Biden], but we didn't do it because it wouldn't have been appropriate. I could've done that with Hillary Clinton, as you know. I had the chance to do it if I wanted, and I said, 'That would be inappropriate,' but with me, they like to do it."

HistoryDoc said...: I saw Toad the Wet Sprocket in concert in Berkeley around 1994. Hootie and the Blowfish were opening for them, but Hootie's first album was blowing through the roof. So Toad invited Darius Rucker to join them and sing several of their songs because of his amazing voice. It was a great show.; 10/2/26, 11:14 PM
Josephbleau said...: Remember that North Carolina was entrusted with a young girl from Ukraine. She had an honest job, earned her living and tried to be happy. Her happiness was robbed by the blindness of liberal city democrats. She was stabbed in the neck by someone who should rightfully have been in jail.

To democrats the victim is just the dirty laundry the violent killer kicks aside on the way to special treatment.; 10/2/26, 11:18 PM

Saint Croix said...: Josephbleau, I’m in North Carolina and it seems to me that Roy Cooper, that blue dog, is running away with this thing. Very likable guy, except when he talks about abortion. I’d like to see a debate, but he’s avoiding it. It will almost be a miracle if we pull this one out.; 10/3/26, 12:42 AM
Saint Croix said...: Inga, I’m guessing that he was referencing an indictment against Hillary, not an impeachment.; 10/3/26, 12:47 AM
