  • Whenever we are talking about the MAGA boogeyman of the day, we are losing. Whenever they bring up Trans, or Biden, or Commies, we have to ignore it, and talk about Affordability, the War, gas prices, corruption, inflation, taxes, AI, Flock cameras, data centers, corruption, ICE, DoJ, FBI, DHS, SCOTUS, corruption, destruction of national monuments, healthcare, education, corruption, election integrity, foreign interference, white supremacy, Sociopathic Oligarchs, corruption, etc.

    We need to control the message, not MAGA. They have plenty to answer for, and EVERYBODY knows it, including them, so make them answer to our charges, not the other way around.

    And just laugh in their faces every time they say Biden. Humiliate them for their cowardice in not acknowledging that it’s all on Trump and MAGA, and they know it.



  • He didn’t steal it from her. He beat her in the primary fair & square, and she knows it, and even acknowledged it, and threw her support behind him.

    Here’s what you tell your friends: Crockett would have won the primary any other year, but this was the year that a once-in-lifetime candidate like Talarico emerged. She had bad timing, it happens all the time. He’ll probably go on to win, which will be amazing. The governor’s seat may go to a Dem, too. It hasn’t been an easy path for Talarico, and it would have even an even less easy path to victory for Crockett.

    Cruz will be running for re-election in 2030, and after Talarico has been in there for a while and showing what Dems can do, Crockett will have an easier chance at beating Cruz.

    As politicians go, Crockett is considered young, and has a long career ahead of her. She can wait to beat Cruz in 2030, and she’ll have a stronger chance at it by then.

    It’s disappointing that she won’t get her chance this time, but politics is a long, slow grind, and you have to be patient. Your friends have to take heart that by voting for Talarico, they are pushing the country in a better direction for future candidates like Crockett.

    If none of that works, don’t let your friends vote for Paxton, he will literally murder them if he gets the chance. Better they don’t vote at all.





  • Back in the 90s, we bought an 87 year old house that had been neglected for decades, but the neglect was what we liked. That meant that nobody had “upgraded” or modernized it.

    We spent the next 7 years renovating it, fixing every wall, repairing plumbing, installing a cast-iron woodburning stove, etc.

    When we were done, we had turned the ugliest house on the street into a museum piece, and sold it for far more than any house on the street had ever sold for.


  • $10 million isn’t nearly enough, especially considering how wantonly they abused this woman’s rights. It should have been obvious that this woman from Tennessee who had never been to North Dakota, or even been on an airplane, was the wrong person, but they didn’t even bother to apply the slightest bit of Critical Thinking to her case, so they kept her locked up for six months, as she remained terrified that she’d spend the rest of her life in prison. Then when they finally released her, it was on Christmas Eve, in the cold, in North Dakota. That alone should cost them $10 million.

    The city is going to want to settle, and settle big, but she should drag them through the courts anyway, humiliate them for their virtuosic incompetence, and maybe the jury will award her an even larger amount. I would, if I were on the jury.





  • I keep hearing this guy’s name, but I have no idea who he is, and he has no influence on me, or anyone I know. I don’t even know where to go to hear him. Social Media platforms, I guess. I’m not going to bother, I don’t care.

    I really wish we could stay focused on important issues, and stop letting MAGA decide the conversation. We need to dominate the media with the real issues, and refuse to engage with Trans and Hassan Piker nonsense, or whatever the conservative boogeyman of the day is.

    Whenever we are talking about stuff other than Health Care, Data Centers, AI, Flock, the AmerIsraeli War®, Epstein Files, Sociopathic Oligarchs, CORRUPTION, etc., we are losing. Whenever they bring up their favorite nonsense, toss it aside, and shift the subject to anything from their LONG list of crimes.
