Meidas Touch – Of course, this is not evidence….

Ring of fire – The weirdness never stops with Republicans, does it.

Also Ring of Fire – empty Greene is calling this “The Mark of the Beast” – or, more specifically, “Biden’s Mark of the Beast.”

Rocky Mountain Mike – maybe not his best, but that’s a high bar to have to meet, and it’s very pertinent.

Do Octopuses Dream?

This is 6:25, and if you don’t have time for the whole video, don’t even start. I honestly don’t think his answer is the only answer, but I do think it should be included – broadly and decisively.

Republican Accountability Project also has 6 new ads each calling out a dfferent Rep by name. I suspect there will be more, since these six are merely the worst of the worst.

Meidas Touch – this is 9 minutes at regular speed, and I’d recommend 75% personally. But ut does have a great overview of Florida’s response to CoViD-19, and Gov. DeSantis generally.

Ring of Fire – HR1/S1 shenanigans

Corey Ryan Forrester – “Youth Pastor Steve” In case you haven’t heard this story, the shoes are real, and they are Nikes, but they are Nikes altered by a third party before being offered for sale to the public. Nike had nothing to do with the alterations.

Trae also addressed the shoes, but as if he was his father (who hated censorship of any kind.)

Meidas Touch – Border “crisis” fake

Armageddon Update – Nothing we all don’t know, but his style is – what it is.

Ring of Fire – I don’t think this was a recent decision on the part of Sen. Whitehouse. I think what’s recent is a DOJ he feels he can trust.

Mrs Betty Bowers – I missed this when it posted, but it’s not getting stale any time soon.

Missouri, Missouri, Missouri. Lucas Kunce is sunning for Missouri’s other Senate seat.

The summary pretty much says it all. He does name a name (but my Russian spelling is not good.)

Did I hear that right?

“A known Russian asset sent information to @DevinNunes at the Intelligence Committee, we literally have the package receipt.”

The Damage Report – I personally would be more enthusiastic about Election Day being a holiday if there were so much as ONE holiday that still signifies the original intent of making it a holiday in the first place. As it is, I do not think that is the way to go.

Rocky Mountain Mike – The Neanderthal Song

when i was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical and all the gop, well they’d be all about security oh, sanity, without sean hannity
but then they all went away, forgot how to be sensible neanderthals, not responsible or practical and they showed all the world, they could not be dependable about things clinical, they’d be so criminal
there are times, i think they’ve gone asleep their gene pool’s not too deep they have no health care plan won’t you please, please tell me what they’ve learned i know they are absurd they’re just another klan

Karen – I know, hard to believe. No, I don’t know whether she was charged with a fake 911 call. I ust hope so.

Beau on the “quality of votes”

PHP is a programming language used to build websites. We have it at all through our hosting partner, BlueHost. In order to update it, we have to go through Bluehost. During his life, TomCat was the only one who had access to our account there. I (JD) am now the only one. I have been to BlueHost and investigated updating our PHP to 8.3 or even to 8.1. I found instructions to do so - in fact, I found two conflicting sets of instructions. I went through one set of the steps and got the message that Our site could not handle 8.3, but that it had successfully updated to 8.1. I then went back here to see what it looked like. But I couldn't get in - either as an administrator or as a reader. It was just gone. I had to reach BlueHost by phone. It was determined that Politics Plus is in fact not compatible with any version of PHP newer than the one we have. BlueHost therefore uninstalled it for me, and the site came back to normal. Of course, like everyone else, I care about security. But I also am aware that TomCat elected to use different providers for several of the services that BlueHost provides, for instance backups. We are backed up daily - but not by BlueHost. However, out PHP is through Bluehost. I feel that if they are not worried about the older version, I am not going to worry about it. I believe that our security here is all or mostly through WordFence, whom I trust.
