Random Thursday Morning Thoughts




And by audit, I didn't mean the money was stolen but was implying they never actually collected the amazing amount that was pledged over the phone. I bet it was under 50%, if that. 


  • What a horrible wreck yesterday in Wise County which became national news.   At the risk of going into dangerous speculation, is there any chance this was a group of immigrants? Not having any names by now is just weird. But there is a report in the Messenger that the van "came from Florida."



  • Who are these gullible victims with all that money?
     

  • I asked the Liberally Lean Weather Team™ about this forecast from the National Weather Service, and my boys told me those temps might actually be a little high for Wise County. They went with 85 degrees on Sunday and 80 degrees on Monday. As far rain chances, they like Monday better than Saturday or Sunday. Book it. 

  • Trump has had another stellar couple of days. First he used the Arlington National Cemetery in TikTok videos despite being warned do so - a warning which prompted his team to have a physical altercation with a female cemetery official about it. The campaign said the next day that the worker must have been "suffering from a mental health episode" at the time.


  • Then he went absolutely psycho on Truth Social yesterday by reposting some of the craziest crap you've ever seen.  I'll say it again: For the life of me, I cannot believe that this man is the Republican nominee for President.
    • First he went full Hitler. 



    • Then he posted this which would have automatically disqualified him in a normal America.


    • Then he went literally full QAnon over and over again.  How is this even possible in a sane world?  


  • It's working out great for him. Here's Fox News' new poll about the swing states and how things are changing. 

  • This is an actual shot from Chicago yesterday during the first game of the double header with the Rangers. (But you might want to take a look at an amazing catch from later in the day.)
