It is extremely easy to believe that Trump, having been briefed on the development of some new and secret weapon, would not be able to resist bragging.

Biden leads 53-44 in new Rasmussen poll of Michigan. Given their known Republican lean this is a very bad sign for Trump.

If I was a better person I'd have been paying attention to the Democrats announcing their Thrive initiative instead of grousing that I can't find a decent Monte Cristo sandwich.

Now I'm watching a bunch of old lawmakers trying to get a toddler to understand what an elbow bump is. They already don't know why you keep wanting them to slap your hand, just leave the little tyke alone...

Anyway, Thrive. Give it a minute and I'm sure someone will write it up and it will make more sense than me live commenting on it anyway.

Meanwhile, down in Oklahoma polls show Biden is doing better than HRC did in 2016. He's only down 25 whereas she lost OK by 30.
This has to be Trump's favorite state. An optimal location for his presidential library.

I would not be surprised if Biden carries Oklahoma County of which OKC is the county seat. Its been trending blue in recent years. Trump only got 51 percent there in 2016.

What, a poster named after Vince Vaughn posting 'Vince Vaughn for Supreme Court? Or spam in general? Either way...

There was one about a few months ago; but in Venezuela.

Thinly veiled attempt to move drugs. Note the indictments of the conspirators in the SDNY.

If we wanted to make Venezuela disappear, we would have done it by now.

There are actually five hopes from Ahnold's loins. Four kids from JFK's late niece, his ex-wife Maria Shriver and Joseph Baena. I wish them all good health and happiness. As for any political future, well who knows? But they have a leg up on most of their competition if they want to take a shot. Funny how Baena looks most like Ahnold.

To all Catholic Trump supporters, I am feeling ambitious and will be embarking on my first 54 day rosary novena for his success in the election.

It will end just in time the day before Election Day if I start now (Sep. 10). For those in earlier time zones, every rosary counts.

Their arguments are beyond dumb. They might as well tell the judge they don’t believe in democracy or the right to vote.
