This goes beyond previous reports and is an active call for Biden to leave the race...
Biden should jump on this and attack. Watch the poll bounce if he does.
No Post Shooting Bump for Trump in the polls
Donald Trump Does Not Get Post-Shooting Poll Boost https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-no-poll-boost-after-assassination-attempt-us-election-1925680
The findings also reveal that Trump's lead has narrowed slightly since the firm's previous survey, conducted between July 12 and 14, which put Trump two percentage points ahead with 44 percent to Biden's 42 percent...
Expect Trump to sink more with the Vance pick.
No buts, I also don't eat at Chic fil a, or shop at Hoppy Lobby
Same concept... people need to stop using and get off the platform as it is currently run.
If anything, Musk and the mess he is creating is way worse than even those companies...!
I am already boycotting any threads on DU, or anywhere else, that use Twitter for sourcing.
DU was way to Twitter driven for sourcing even before this...
Texas is by far the US leader in Wind Power
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/04/us-wind-electricity-generation-renewable-energy/Shockingly enough Texas energy policy has helped push the industry... i.e. it's a weird conjunction with rural (typically RW Republican) landowners and ranchers and what might seem to be progressive energy policies. Literally, they wanted to expand their income streams.
But frankly, that's also how we will need to move forward on energy policy. We have to make profits and progressive energy policy align.
Standing by my prediction, we maintain Senate control
50/50, or 51/49
And House control is won by less than 5 seats either way (so too close to call).
This also means a PUSH on election night.
Kenyan Presidential Election is Super Close Between Ruto and Odinga (Live Link)
3K votes separating the two and both just under 50%. If no one gets 50% there is a runoff in 30 days.
Let's Talk School and Covid
Let me go first by saying my son is 11 yo and fortunately (in this case) had very mild Covid last Fall when myself and my wife caught it (I nearly died).
12 days since returning to school in August have had Covid direct contact notices from the school. At least 2 of my son's teachers are out with Covid.
There is no mask mandate (my son wears KN95), rooms are crowded (25-30 kids) and there is no discernible social distancing.
Yes, it's Texas. And yes, someone will die.
And no, it's not F'ing worth it.
Allen (TX} Couple Says Bobcat Family Moved into Backyard
https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2021/06/11/allen-couple-says-bobcat-family-backyard/Full of bobcat kitten cuteness, you have been warned!
What Covid did to me: 1. Lung damage and have to take supplemental O2
2. I have to take BP meds daily to keep my heart rate in a safe range.
3. Lost some control of body temperature. I regularly and randomly drop to 95.x
4. I developed hidradenitis suppurativa under both my armpits. Yuck, and ugg.
5. Just found out today I may have develop diabetes due to Covid, or the steroids needed to save my life.
6. Crushing fatigue every day.
7. Covid brain fog/dementia
It is hard for me to even see a way forward to work. I may very well be facing permanent disability.
