The Herschel Walker Trade
Let’s see how quickly the GOP dumps Herschel Walker. It worked out for the Dallas Cowboys when they traded him. Candidate quality matters.

Scary Ads and Horror Movies
One of the best things about Election Day is that it means the end of the scary, fear mongering ads. For now…
Ready for both election outcomes
60 Percent Of Americans will have an Election Denier on the ballot next week. In races for Governor, Senator, House of Representatives, Secretary of State, and Attorney General. Elections that could very well determine the certification of the 2024 electoral outcomes.
Our democracy relies on peaceful transition of power, with the participants in elections accepting the outcomes.
Still clinging to false lies that have been debunked in the courts, by investigative journalists, even by former Trump administration officials in testimony to the January 6th committee.
That’s scary.
So when you’re casting your ballots, consider which candidates will accept the results rather than lies that the election was rigged.
Because democracy is truly at stake.
Free speech, but who’s watching?
Elon Musk often says how much he supports free speech on Twitter. But it’s going to be tough to keep allowing that with some of the folks looking over his shoulder - including the Saudis who are the second largest investor in Twitter, and the Chinese who control access to China as a major financial market for Tesla.
Both countries have proven rather oppressive to free speech, with the Saudis recently sentencing an American citizen to 16 years in prison for tweets critical of the Saudi regime.
Musk might soon have to choose between his grand standing and his wallet.
Ideas and Debate, Not Violence
On Friday, a man broke into the home of Nancy Pelosi and assaulted her 82 year old husband with a hammer. The assailant has been posting Conspiracy theories about the Big Lie, COVID vaccines, and much more. During the attack, he repeatedly yelled, “Where’s Nancy.” It’s easy to infer he planned to assault the Speaker of the House, second in line to the Presidency of the United States.
While few will say the assault is a good thing, there are several politicians who immediately jumped to blaming Nancy Pelosi. Some gleefully conflating the crime to her politics.
We’ve seen the insurrection and assault on the Capitol. We’ve heard the Q Anon crap about hanging politicians. We’ve had a Congressional softball game shot up. We’ve had a plot to kidnap a Governor.
When is the violence enough? Politics is a debate of ideas, thoughts, and policies. At least it should be. But violence seems somehow imbued in the American DNA.
Mark my words: someone will soon be selling t-shirts reading, “Where’s Nancy?”
If you gleefully celebrate any aspect of this assault, look deep in the mirror, my friends, because something inside you is broken.
Enough with the hate. We can disagree on politics without allowing or encouraging the violence.
After all, in the end we’re supposed to be on the same team, right?
Donald, this joke would break the internet
C’mon, Donald, if you’ve got any sense of humor, this is your Halloween costume this year. It’s your opportunity to totally troll the DOJ, own the libs, send the media into a spin, and melt the internet.
