In the swirl of media speculation and scandal around Trump aide and "human printer" Natalie Harp, I caution that Harp isn't the one Ossoff or anyone else should be directing their darts at. Remember who holds the power and is making the calls here. Harp is just a deluded cultist. Don't Lewinsky her.

I followed her vlog daily. I haven't been able to get excited about the World Cup much, but I sure did love seeing Kelsey Pfendler crush those waves and pull into Ala Wai Harbor, escorted by moonlight and the aloha of thousands waiting for her. Congratulations to Ms. Pfendler, you are amazing!
Kelsey Pfendler, 32, says she hopes her solo 2,400-mile trek across the mid-Pacific inspires other women to take risks

Al Jazeera says police "sparked a confrontation with Egypt’s national team director Ibrahim Hassan, as players posed for a photo with a young fan at their hotel in Dallas." The one thing DPD had to do was not cause an international incident. And yet. Here we are.

“And about four hours after our deadline, Bari Weiss sends an email to my boss, Tanya Simon. Two of the things in the email include, can we make the protesters look more violent?” …”And the other thing, Renee Good’s car. You need to describe her as driving toward the officer.” NYT #Gift

Did you pay your taxes? Then you gave $4,049 to war and weapons. According to the Institute for Policy Studies, taxpayers contributed more to Pentagon contractors ($1,870) than to troops' pay ($770), and more to militarism than programs like school lunches ($124) or the Postal Service ($19).

Someone in the comments on the original article chided the author for suggesting that an ultra- conservative church with 100 attendees on any given Sunday represents a threat. To that, I say there were almost no search hits 10 years ago for "repeal the 19th." Try it now. Yes, this is a threat.
The U.S. is now run by an inept private equity concern whose only mission is to loot it and sell it for parts.
