Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is a lousy politician and an even worse human being. For folks who write a political blog, like we do, that's two strikes and you're out. We don't need to hide the fact that we hold him in very low esteem.
It is well known that people each get 15 minutes of fame. Does that also hold for states? If so, California needs to move on and stop hogging the spotlight. But some states haven't had their allotted 15 minutes yet. One of them is Nebraska, which is a peaceful place that is usually happy to stay out of the limelight. But maybe this year it will get its time in the sun. For six reasons, no less...
Yesterday, we had an item about how the national polls are sometimes way off, with polling errors between 1% and 7% since 1980. This year, it is a virtual tie nationally and in all the swing states. Nothing seems to move the needle, since Kamala Harris was swapped in as a pinch hitter for Joe Biden...
As we wrote yesterday, Kamala Harris' decision to release her medical report wasn't really about reassuring the American public (since those reports are always somewhere between "positive" and "overwhelmingly positive"), it was about putting the ball in Donald Trump's court, and making HIS health an issue. The plan has already worked like a charm. read more
As long as we are on the subject of Donald Trump's mental health, we are now going to write about his rally/town hall yesterday. We don't usually do that, but he was in particularly bizarre form. read more

I would welcome such an angel of mercy with open arms.

- If that is true, Bluewaffles, then why isn't the Kumquat Pol Pot winning decisively in enough states - today - to guarantee "victory"?

Dems need +5 to win the EC. A Dem winning without at least +5 hasn't happened in my lifetime. -

In your lifetime?
That must make you, what, 3 or 4 years old?
Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump 306-232 in the Electoral College and had a 4-point margin in the popular vote.

"Our impeachment of President Clinton was another example of placing the wrong political emphasis on personal matters. We impeached Clinton for lying to the government. To our surprise the electorate gave us cold comfort. Lying to the government: It's called April 15th. And we accused Clinton of lying about sex, which all men spend their lives doing, starting at 15 bragging about things we haven't done yet, then on to fibbing about things we are doing, and winding up with prevarications about things we no longer can do." - P.J. O'Rourke

I cannot recommend highly enough the HBO movie, Conspiracy. It covers the day of the Wannsee Conference, January 20, 1942.

That's the exact book I keep asking JeffJ about (here)
It was a copy originally autographed by the author, and personalized ("To JeffJ").
But, for some reason, JeffJ won't respond.
I wonder why that is.

Thank you!
(I would normally conclude my "thank you" with "my friend," but apparently, solidarity is only allowed among MAGAts.)

During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Arnold Palmer's wife was talking about her husband's amazing career.
Carson asked Mrs. Palmer, What do you do to give your husband good luck before a game?
To which Mrs. Palmer replied, I kiss his balls.
Without missing a beat, Carson replied, I bet that makes his putter flutter!
Mrs. Palmer never appeared on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson again.
