You have to feel awful for Broncos fans. Defense did everything you could ask for. Just a backup QB and a couple of first half mistakes and then Mother Nature took over in the second half. Absurdly unfortunate runout.

Vance and Trump learned from Renee Good’s murder and have pushed their messaging toward fraud in Minnesota and Tim Walz being the “real reason” for the protests, avoiding saying much about Alex Pretti.

It’s easy to watch the news and feel overwhelmed or even helpless at everything going on. I need you to fight that feeling.
I’m an optimist. You have to be when you strap yourself to a rocket for a living. But there’s real reason to be hopeful this year and l’ll tell you why.

Just a reminder that Trump is selling Venezuelan oil and depositing the proceeds into a bank account in Qatar that is NOT under any control by the US government or Congress.

Just in case anyone has doubts about Trump's plans for the midterms, he now openly admits that he wishes he had order troops to seize all voting machines in 2020.
With no one in the White House, Pentagon, or DOJ to stop him, he'll do it this time--unless Congress stops him first.

If Trump or Vance or Musk do something that seems completely irrational to you, ask yourself “is this getting them more attention?”
If the answer is “yes” then actually it makes perfect sense.
And the answer will always be yes.
