Watching Brewers-Rays WS. When the long ball isn't there, the Brewers play small-ball, bunt to advance a runner, and steal bases...They still have the home run.. Rays are getting a clinic on fundamentals. Game 3 is in the bag in the 5th inning 10-0 (8 two out runs). 7 game series? No!

Quote of the day. "Trump: I want my people to be honest." Too rich!

Pete Hegseth's impulsive desire to decorate his office with the Eisenhower WW II historic globe, directed his staff to relocate it instead of the WH Curator. The staff damaged the globe, providing an apt metaphor of Pete's mindless management of the DoD.

Irony of the decade. "US assessments have long held that Iran halted structured nuclear weapons work in 2003 and has not necessarily mastered all remaining technologies..."* Trump didn't stop Iran's nuclear device. Iran did! One week to a bomb? He lied, again. (*Grok)

Deep in the "low hanging fruit" season. 1. Vet your opponent. 2.Grab any obscure, insignificant tidbit that can be misunderstood, or even could be untrue. 3. Put it 'out-of-context' in your ad. 4. Refute opponent's denile. Rinse. Repeat.

"The EAC VVSG 2.0 standard requires voting machines to be incapable of using a wireless network. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other wireless capabilities must be disabled, physically removed, and air-gapped from external networks*. Let's feel better about voting machine security." Can't hack vote mach *Grok

0ne of Trump's 3 D's, Deny Deflect Distract, is lessoned. No live streaming of an execution. Though he continues to struggle juggling his numerous "red balls", more are becoming harder to control. Buying Russian diesel, e.g. Pressure is mounting... Massive voting is necessary.

@briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social Congrats on keeping your cool amid all the sarcasm. You're a real pro!

Just got a campaign flyer for Lynn Ramirez (D) for South Carolina State House dist.16. LynnRamirez4SC.com Got it. Door knocking works!

If there is a law stopping Trump from saving his greedy ass, he will defy it. And Darline Graham is silent concerning Lindsey's recently passed bill sanctioning anyone buying oil from Russia. She's not ready!

There's nothing worse than a stupid, tough guy wannabe. By live streaming the execution, the SecDef is fulfilling the desire of Nidal Malik Hasan to be a martyr on his way to Islamic heaven. Not tough. Simply ignorant.

Election Polls rarely sample a large enough population to be statistically predictive. This "picture in time" may not be la "statistic", maybe not even a good estimate, as the voters enter the voting booth (imho).

Former Fed Chair Jerome Powell remains in his job. Federal Reserve renovations "...no grounds for criminal referral or evidence of misconduct tied to cost overruns...* Another bogus claim loss for Trump. *Reuters

Yes sir, it's midterm time, and Trump is hoping that a $500 check gives his faltering GOP a win. Think that money came as a refund from a Biden ACA over payment? Think again. So transparent!

"Congress shall make no law...or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." 1st Amendment. Now, what is the Office of Religious Affairs purpose? SecDef likes to quote the Bible a lot. Qur'an, Tao Te Ching...just to mention a few other beliefs. Are these included

The "Face Plant" has been replaced by "Do an Eric Schmitt".

The Antideficiency Act* bars agencies from spending money Congress hasn't appropriated. Violations can trigger admin discipline and/or criminal penalties. Sound familiar? DHS money used for Trump's ads? GAO needs to get busy. *Grok

I'd like to know who ghost-wrote Senator Graham's opening statement? But her southern accent is legitimate. But her hearing needs work. Her questions have been addressed...

When a Republican Senator labels Jack Smith as a "dirt bag" in an official oversight review where the Senater presents fraudulent testimony, it speaks volumes how much angst Republicans are dealing with, come the November midterms. The dance continues.

The EAC VVSG 2.0 standard requires voting machines to be incapable of using a wireless network. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other wireless capabilities must be disabled, physically removed, and air-gapped from external networks*. Let's feel better about voting machine security. *Grok

⏰⏰⏰⏰ Repost! Paralyzing constitutional crisis ahead? @duke715.bsky.social

I'll post this again. "Soooo. Obama built a bunker 60 feet below the WH that can withstand a nuclear blast.* Now we know why Trump wants a bomb proof ballroom. Doesn't need one, but it's Obama fhs!" *Rachel Maddow, MS NOW, 8/31/26 Tell me again why Trump needs a new bunker.

I AM THE CODE!

Hey Donald. According to everybody else, honest, referenced, negative news, no matter how hard hits, is not fake. Your overly enthusiastic response proves its accuracy.

WTF. The large majority of people living in the US without authorization have no criminal convictions beyond possible immigration violations...gang membership is rare.* Where's all the violent criminals ICE is arresting? *Grok

JD Vance, asking for a chance, for another 2 years, sounds a lot like a philandering ex-boyfriend, after being caught with a new date. For more of the same? Don't think so!

And when he added one dollar to make it $1776, they had tears in their eyes! 

Most voting machines in the US contain Asian manufactured parts, including China. Voting machines have produced wins for both parties. It is fallacious to accuse a random voting machine of altering the count if the result is not what you want. Just audit them before and after the vote for veracity.

@chrishayss.bsky.social Info for your AI Q&A. No question AI will make changes to the working population. Human innovation has overcome similar challenges. For example, among other advances, the commercial sewing machine introduced new jobs to handle increased production. Can AI make new jobs?

All Trump sees in AI is the investment his family has in Data Center's support companies. To hell with the potential dangers trumpeted by AI CEOs and experts.

Why are Federal Agencies claiming credit for the continuous drop in crime from the COVID Pandemic? Local state, county and civic policing is the driving force. Not the FBI, DHS, ICE.....

There was a Senate oversight committee hearing from FBI Director Kash Patel this morning. One could characterize the "waste of time" as: Republicans offering praise with Democrat's questions refusing to be answered. KP is seriously mistaken if he thinks he will get away with this charade.
