The first man to walk on the moon, Neil Armstrong, died 12 years ago. So perhaps he is voting Democrat.

SCOTUS, as I kind of expected, ruled on a technicality (standing) not on the merits. The Parnell/Kelly PA challenge remains on the docket. Other states, especially WI and GA, have suits that remain in play. We’re maybe in the 7th inning.

The most bizarre part is that Trump is somehow demanded to prove a negative. Perhaps the @NYTimes could explain how one might do that.

I hate the complete lie of Palestinian “genocide.” Hamas uses children and families to protect their rockets and terrorists. Israelis bend over backwards, often at their own expense (lives of soldiers) to protect all life. That is simply a fact. Any claims of Palenstinian genocide is false, if not evil propaganda.

Sigh. Erick, it's obvious. The 10-14 percent of "persuadable" voters sought a reason to vote "for" her. Her strategy was to focus on reasons to vote against Trump. That fails with moderates. She gave no assurance she was up for the job.

I don't know how often this has to be said, but the answer to "bad speech" or even objectionable speech is not censorship but more speech. Never in history or literature have the censors been the "good guys."

Pacific Palasides, the beautiful sea-side community most devastated by the fires, are no stranger to them. There were similar fires in 1938 and 1961, more proof that climate change has nothing to do with them. Californians up and down the coast have long understood the risks.

They claim the tax on "unrealized gains" will only effect people making $100 million, the same people who lie about how they haven't or will raised taxes on anyone making under $400,000. And they sure won't refund you if those gains turn into losses.

@BretBaier's strategy, as he told @HughHewitt, was to be tough but fair, and to extract new information about @KamalaHarris. Not sure he succeeded on the last point, thanks to her filibuster of non-answers, but he did his job well, unlike anyone at @CBS, @ABC, @NBC, or @CNN.

As a Virginia resident and voter, I apologize to America for the behavior of my worthless junior US Senator, Tim Kaine today, who has never served a day in the military.
When @SenMullin (R-OK) mentioned unnamed Senators showing up drunk to vote, note that he directed his comment at Kaine. Draw your own conclusion.

Just a prediction, but I strongly suspect about 5-6 SCOTUS justices are going to have some real fun with this. This is judicial malfeasance on steroids. SCOTUS will not take well to PA's Supreme Court ignoring its own Constitution under a rarely used technicality.

This discussion misses the point. The point is that our institutions of higher education have become hellholes of indoctrination, badly preparing young people for the real world. We need colleges that teach critical thinking skills. And we need trade schools. Both can be true.
