- It’s election day. Lord, help us. My gut tells me all the networks will project a winner late tonight, it won’t even go into early morning. However, there will be disputes that will linger for days.
- I wonder what it’s like for candidates to wake up on election day. Do they get to sleep in, considering it will be a long night, and do they sleep better than most nights knowing there’s nothing more they can do?
- Police and National Guard units prep for Election Day violence
- It’s interesting that V.P. Harris will certify the election results, win or lose. That’s been true for any VP who was their party’s representative (Adams, Jefferson, Nixon, Bush Sr, Gore), but it’s still interesting, nonetheless, to be in that position of certifying if you are going to be the leader of the free world or not.
- I’m a proud customer of YouTube TV. I love how they will set up two to four sporting events on one screen and allow you to select the audio. It would be really cool if tonight that offered that with FOX News and MsNBC side by side. Actually, you can. And, it should make viewing fun tonight if you are a newsjunkie like myself. It’s one of the very few times I will watch either of those two channels.
- Here’s a great idea. All “I Voted” stickers should have a QR barcode. Once you scan it, all political commercials are removed from anything you watch on television.
- I had an unfortunate (well, I guess they are never fortunate) drain blockage that was bad and the property manager had to send a plumber. The day after it was fixed, I received this message from the rental company:The plumber noted that the blockage was due largely in part due to baby wipes and feminine hygiene products that was causing the blockage. PLEASE ensure that only normal toilet paper is utilized when flushing. Future evidence of such items causing a blockage will result in the charge being passed along to the tenant. This time we will not charge.This is very strange because baby wipes, flushable wipes, and feminine hygiene products don’t come through the door of the house. Yes, I have a daughter, but she never stays the night, and her rare visits are so short she never uses the restroom (though I hope that changes). It’s been that way for over a year. Actually, I have no women visitors, and I’ve never seen those other products in the house. Other than me, it’s only my son who lives in the house every other week, and we only use toilet paper. I guess all I can do if this happens again is to ask the plumber to show me the blockage so I can document it.
- This tweet got my attention last night:CNN’s Dana Bash: “I’m being told that Megyn Kelly just announced that she’s gonna be speaking at Donald Trump’s last rally. Megyn Kelly of ‘blood coming out of her whatever’ fame. That’s an interesting turn of events.”
- Trump is big on tariffs. Most people know the basic definition that it’s a tax on imported goods. What many shockingly don’t know, and I was one of them until earlier this year is that U.S. corporations pay those taxes, not companies of foreign businesses. All that came to mind when I saw this headline and realized that China is no dummy – Chinese solar manufacturers shift operations to bypass US tariffs
- Chinese solar panel manufacturers have a strategy for circumventing U.S. trade restrictions, responding to new tariffs by relocating production facilities to countries less affected by American policies. This shift has impacted the solar industry in Southeast Asia, following the U.S. Commerce Department’s implementation of duties reaching as high as nearly 300% that are targeted at Chinese-owned factories in the region.
- It’s uncomfortable when women from my former wife’s hometown contact me on a dating app. And for a small city just west of Tyler, it happens more than you’d think.
- The Florida Gators and the Texas Longhorns will play each other in football this weekend. In 1965, Gatorade was invented on the University of Florida campus, which is why it’s called “Gator-ade.” But the research team leader was Dr. Robert Cade, a 1950 University of Texas graduate. As the school says, “What starts here . . . changes the world.”
- I hope our lawmakers can iron out some wrinkles in the law that obviously need addressing – Texas Teen Suffering Miscarriage Dies Days After Baby Shower Due to Abortion Ban as Mom Begs Doctors to ‘Do Something’
- He hasn’t converted, but it’s still interesting – Once an Atheist Hero, Elon Musk Now Says He Believes in the Teachings of Christ
- “Jesus taught love, kindness and forgiveness,” he wrote in a late 2022 tweet. “I used to think that turning the other cheek was weak and foolish, but I was the fool for not appreciating its profound wisdom.”
- Check out how amazing this play is, that’s why you gotta give it your all until the whistle blows.
