Is it any wonder that 20% of the US population is clueless? Senator Jon Ossoff shredded the so-called Secretary of War. The Fox News take? "Hegseth turns tables on Dems."

Trump is appearing today at a Georgia high school for a campaign event. I continue to believe firmly that he shouldn't be allowed near teenage girls.

Our power lines are all buried, but a lightning strike seems to have killed the garage door opener (that I just finished hooking up to voice control), the living room TV, a GFI electrical circuit, and most importantly, the central air conditioner. I was looking out the front window and everything lit up bright orange-red. I'll be out in the yard tomorrow, looking for damaged trees and streetlights. Something got the crap knocked out of it.

The Burt Jones vs Rick Jackson ads on Georgia TV are fun to watch because it&#39;s Republicans shivving one another.

Brian Kemp has renewed the suspension of Georgia motor fuel taxes, effectively using the State Treasury to disguise the disastrous effects of Trump&#39;s War.

Who needs an actual reichstag fire when you can just draw up a confidential intelligence memo? Trump&#39;s war on Iran failed to cure his unpopularity problem. So he&#39;s looking to try again with cuba.

War is peace, freedom is slavery, and Trump has seized an &quot;anti-weaponization&quot; fund.

I really hate to say it, but things are going to get much worse before he&#39;s gone. And Republicans won&#39;t lift a finger to stop him.

So the United States can indict an aging, out of touch dictator in connection with the killing of civilians. Very interesting idea.

The Lisbon airport is truly insane. So far this morning I&#39;ve walked 1.7 mi, nearly all of that in lines. And when I finally got to passport control, all the machines were offline and they just waved us through.

It&#39;d be nice to go for a walk and maybe shoot pictures of what I see and maybe even post them online. But I don&#39;t want to be charged with thoughtcrime.

The odious SAVE act is written to target young people (new voters), women (changed names), renters (changed addresses), and people who are struggling to make ends meet / can&#39;t afford the time and aggravation. All likely Democrats. And it doesn&#39;t solve any real problem.

Why is it that violating the Constitution is just business as usual, but following it is &quot;creating a constitutional crisis?&quot;
