The october surprise happened.

Kennedy admitted the measles outbreak was from a lack of vaccinations since covid.

Plot the drop since Ukraine hit Russian data centers this month. Can't wait for those results.

and Walmart. Rich & poor, in it together.

Bold choice. Teenagers on small electric dirt bikes are the plague of high schools right now, and scooter riders the plague of college campuses.

The difference is Soros funded DA's which were fundamentally against safety for the general population.

Musk is funding the guy that gets the minimums for pedophiles, as long as they're donors.

What about tax capital gains & income 100%

While hilarious conceptually, would immediately tank the value of the stock to begin with and then nobody gets ----.

"I am a gun owner. I have two shotguns... We're not coming after your shotguns, or your rifles, or your traditional mechanisms you use to hunt or protect yourself." -The guy firing it into the air to scare off criminals.

"Oregon dad ignores gun-free zone, stops school shooter who also ignored gun-free zone."

Think he'll need to lawyer up?

"No, James Talarico does not explicitly call for reducing government spending in other domestic or discretionary sectors. Instead, his deficit-reduction strategy focuses almost entirely on increasing revenue from the wealthy and cutting specific foreign military expenditures."

Unfortunately that's not an effective plan. Tax capital gains as income, estate tax to 77%, corporate rate to 35%, eliminate social security tax cap and it's still only 29.2% of the income needed to zero the deficit, without worrying about paying it off.

"Historical data and independent analyses place the PA-46's lifetime accident rate slightly above the segment baseline, at roughly 5.3 accidents per 100,000 flight hours compared to the general aviation fleet average of around 3.8."

High-Altitude Exposure: Because the PA-46 is pressurized, pilots routinely cruise between 18,000 and 25,000 feet. This is the prime atmospheric zone for supercooled liquid water droplets, which cause severe structural ice accumulation.

The Autopilot Trap: When structural ice begins to degrade the airflow over the wings, the autopilot will automatically and silently compensate by pulling the nose up to maintain altitude. It hides the decaying airspeed from the pilot until the wing suddenly hits its critical angle of attack.

Because the aircraft drops so violently out of a stall at high altitudes (often plunging at rates exceeding 4,000 feet per minute), the airframe frequently exceeds its design maneuvering speeds during the uncontrolled descent. This over-stressing often causes a structural failure or breakup before the aircraft ever impacts the terrain.

What testing were the 2022 lock upgrades given prior to installation? It appears to be a grift, not actually protective.

To be approved for educational facilities, door hardware must pass evaluations managed by independent organizations like the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA), and Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

Locks must resist prolonged, violent attempts to breach the door.
The Forced Entry Test: Mechanical locks are subjected to concentrated physical attacks using crowbars, chisels, hammers, and screwdrivers. To pass Grade 1 certification, the lock mechanism must withstand these manual structural attacks for a specified duration without allowing the door to open.
Impact Testing (Ram & Pendulum): Systems are hit with high-energy impacts. Testing rigs drop heavy, weighted pendulums or rams directly against the lock chassis and the outside lever handle to ensure the internal latch bolts do not snap or retract under sudden, massive force.
Torque and Overloading: Testing machinery applies extreme rotational force (torque) to the outside lever handle. Grade 1 locks are engineered so that if an intruder applies excessive torque, the lever will slip or breakaway cleanly without retracting the internal latch bolt, keeping the door securely locked.

Because school doors experience constant use from hundreds of students daily, the internal mechanics are tested for long-term wear and tear.
The 1 Million Cycle Test: To achieve an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 rating (the highest standard required for schools), a lockset must successfully lock, unlock, latch, and unlatch at least 1,000,000 times without mechanical failure.
Abuse Testing: Linear and structural force is applied to the handles while they are being cycled to simulate students hanging on the levers or slamming the doors.

For smart locks, wireless trims, and Electronic Access Control (EAC) systems, additional digital and environmental tests apply:
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): Locks are shocked with high-voltage static electricity to ensure an intruder cannot short-circuit the electronics or force the door to unlock using a handheld stun device.
Power Failure Mode: Systems are tested to ensure that if campus power or networks go completely dark, the locks default to their designated safety state (typically Fail-Secure on the outside to keep intruders out, but always Fail-Safe on the inside so occupants can exit).

Russia and China.

Who's China funded by?

The more taxes you roll into the calculation, the less the 1% pay as a total share of all taxes.

IRS / Tax Foundation: Only counts federal individual income taxes, which are highly progressive. It completely excludes the other half of federal revenue (payroll taxes) and all state taxes.

Congressional Budget Office (CBO): Includes all federal taxes. This adds payroll taxes (FICA for Social Security and Medicare). Because Social Security taxes cap out at an income limit, middle- and lower-income workers pay a much larger percentage of their income toward this tax than the ultra-wealthy.

ITEP: Includes federal, state, and local taxes. Adding state sales and excise taxes drastically shifts the balance. Lower-income families spend almost their entire paychecks on immediately consumed, taxable goods (like gas and groceries), while the wealthy save or invest most of their money, shielding it from sales tax.

IRS / Tax Foundation, Individual Income Taxes Only 38.4% 3.3%
CBO (Government), All Federal Taxes (Income + Payroll + Corporate) ~25.0% ~4.0%
ITEP (Think Tank), All Taxes (Federal + State + Local + Sales) ~24.5% ~7.5%

If MAGA was good at math they wouldn't have voted for Trump.

Buying Iranian diesel via Russia, and throttling Starshield so defensive interceptors don't work, definitely surprised people. Mostly Ukranian.

"Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Fedorov reports that Starlink has been restored to the previous setting so that it can be used for speed up to 160 kph (100 mph). In the last 24h the speed was throttled to 70 kph - 100 kph. Apparently, this "interference" has been corrected.

Starshield on the other hand, which was previously not limited, is seemingly yet throttled. Unlike Starlink this system is under control by the US DoD and ultimately the White House. This has been reiterated by Elon Musk. It confirms my assessment from the morning that the White House is responsible."

Speaking of running away from things, remember that time Ken Paxton fled his home, in a truck driven by State Senator Angela Paxton, so he could very illegally avoid being served a federal subpoena?

Why allow the stories to go non-linear when there's an easy solution to the problem.

He didn't disappear for 13 days that's already a lie. His campaign never stopped running during that period.

"Allow stories to go non-linear". You can't control outright liars. It was traced back to Nick Sortor, known ---- poster who has an active warrant in Kentucky for probation violations.

Rcade out here just ruining the headline.

No ----.

Pretty much writes itself doesn't it?

If cognitive dissonance caused cancer many, many Texas Republicans would drop dead in a week.

Pretend it's true for a moment.

To MAGA, getting mental healthcare is worse than...

Cheating on your wife.
Being impeached for corruption by your own party.
Securities fraud.
Whistleblower retaliation.
Abusing state taxpayers.
Partying with campaign donors that are also indicted healthcare fraudsters.
Voter fraud.
State contract vote fraud.
Trust violations.
State Bar professional misconduct.
Flip-flop legal opinions based on how much his donor gave him or the party.

It certainly would be a good play.
I was really surprised Talarico was claiming he was at home. Doesn't he have Internet?
Just seems quite odd, running for something in a tight race to just disappear for 12-13 days no appearances, then claim the flu on day 14.

It's a desperate play. Texas Republicans are running on fixing a state they've been in charge of my entire life.

Lets play pretend though, Talarico really went to go talk to a mental healthcare professional at a really stressful time in his life where he's being slandered 24x7. I'm supposed to believe that's worse than Paxton spending most of his campaign travelling Europe and the Middle East, partying with indicted fugitives that donated to his campaign?
