An interesting alter history novel concept would be imagining what would have happened if Mexico had acted upon the Zimmerman telegram offer.

If Republican candidates and the GOP actually followed Christ’s teachings and Biblical values, they wouldn’t have to be trying to intimidate, frighten, and shame Christians into voting red.
I’m not going to claim to agree Talarico on much of anything, but to dismiss the problems of Trump and others because they are “not a pastor” while claiming a vote for JT/Dems is evil and heretical is blatant hypocrisy.
New York crime is out of control with packs of puppy delinquents cruising the streets, looking for trouble.
Be skeptical of vote-switching claims. A viral video was recorded in 2018 rather than 2026 and was blamed on poor calibration, rather than a sinister plot, www.snopes.com/fact-check/v...
Video of voting machine 'switching' vote to Republican is misleading and outdated
The clip circulated alongside a widespread rumor falsely claiming machines in various states deliberately changed voters' candidate choices.

The really funny thing is that Trump filed the lawsuit. It’s his own doing. apnews.com/article/trum...

Continued my #BikeTheVote tradition with an 11-mile round trip ride to my early vote polling place. 🍑🔵
Pretty rare (for me) sighting of a red fox (not to be confused with Redd Fox). Naturally, he posed really nice until I opened the camera and then he took off. This was actually taken from the car rather than hiking.
Conservatives (and anyone else) who opposes Trump should vote Democrat, because that’s the only way to stop him.

It’s very early in Ohio voting but so far, “The overall electorate so far is about 27 points more Democratic than it was at the same point in 2024.” This could be earth-shaking. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
Early voting figures suggest Democratic gains in Ohio’s most Trump-friendly counties
After the first days of early voting in Ohio, a state that could help determine control of the Senate, there are clear signs Democrats are more enthusiastic to vote.

If Ilhan Omar is involved in criminal activity, then she should be held accountable. On the other hand, if this raid is about lawfare and vengeance, then Trump and the DOJ must be held accountable. The truth will come out, and if should come out quickly. Release the warrants.
Horrible accident at Six Flags Over Georgia, reportedly involving a fatality. I’ve ridden Goliath many times. youtu.be/mKhyVRCE8a8?...

This is from the same crowd that was complaining about Jack Smith’s (legitimate) investigation of congressional links to January 6 just last week. Apparently investigation of congressmen is cool now. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...
Federal agents search Rep. Ilhan Omar’s D.C. home
Homeland Security Investigations, the investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security, executed the search.

It’s very odd for a party that claims to be pro-life to be reveling in death. It goes beyond making an execution a spectacle and includes the summary killings of boat crews assumed to be carrying something bad, as well as utter disregard for health and wellbeing of immigrants and…
Nice sunset while exercising the dogs
I think a large part of the people wearing the Christian label are not followers of Christ. I think a large part of the remainder don’t really understand the teachings of Christ.
Don’t tell me how much you oppose Trump and MAGA if you aren’t willing to do the one thing that can actually stop them: Vote Democrat.
It’s up to UGA to give Georgia a 2026 championship team now. We don’t talk about the Falcons, Congratulations to the Braves on a good season, albeit with a disappointing end.
“The Dow is at 51,000” cuts a bit different when it was at 55 a few weeks ago.

Trump, Critic of Voting by Mail, Urges Republicans to Do It in Midterms
It was the latest mixed messaging from President Trump, who regularly votes by mail, but has made baseless claims that the practice is “inherently corrupt.”

Even Meta’s AI can’t tell me where that last Facebook notification is.
Polling probably isn’t exact, but the red flags being raised are real: unpopular POTUS, unpopular war, high gas prices, inflation, slow growth, and a general sense of chaos and corruption. The surprise is that polls aren’t worse for GOP, and that’s due to heavy spending.
I’ve failed Captcha tests so often that I’m starting to question whether I’m really human.
Congratulations, Atlanta ! If the Braves keep playing like they did tonight, they can go all the way.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but using massive military force to reopen a strait that was already open without achieving any of your other military aims is not a victory.
Vaccines aren’t scary and shouldn’t be political. I was planning on getting my COVID and flu boosters, and after the coughing and sneezing at church last night, today seemed like a good day.
