Reminder: Arlington is the county, along with the city of Alexandria, that was retroceded from Washington DC to Virginia prior to the Civil War. (Alexandria, once a major slave trading center, is no longer part of Arlington.)
Arlington National Cemetery is where Trump's photo-op occurred. It's 639 acres out of the county's heavily urban 26 square miles.
Non-political photo-ops are permitted in the cemetery, but not in section 60 where Trump's political photo-op took place.

In their updated voters guide, the U.S. bishops state: “The threat of abortion remains our preeminent priority because it directly attacks our most vulnerable and voiceless brothers and sisters and destroys more than a million lives per year in our country alone.”
This is terrorism.
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — Bomb threats on Friday forced the evacuation and closure of public schools and municipal buildings for a second consecutive day, as the city continues to deal with sudden national attention because of false claims involving its Haitian population.

I wonder how Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who has two adopted Haitian children, feels about the Trump campaign vilifying Haitians?
"First, the positive: nearly two-thirds of Americans (65%) can correctly name all three branches of government – executive, legislative, and judicial."
That's the good news.

Will Vance be as crazytown in the vice presidential debate as Trump was in his debate?

I don't know why Trump is making excuses for his debate performance. He told Sean Hannity, "I had a good time, I think it was our best debate ever."
Not gonna lie, I feel a lot more confident about the election after last night's debate.

There's way too much downplaying of expectations for Trump leading into the Presidential debate.
He's was a TV star for years and he's done more of these debates (primary and General election) than anyone. The reason Harris is his opponent is that he basically shut down Biden. It's a format in which he does very well.
If your Social Security number was included in the nationalpublicdata.com breach, you may want to put a fraud alert on your credit. Notifying one of the three agencies will automatically work for all three:

Likewise, you can put a credit freeze on your files at all three agencies, but you need to notify them individually. (If you need to apply for credit you can temporarily thaw your file.)

One of the problems with the growing wealth inequality in the US is that the political influence of the very wealthy has grown significantly. Be it Elon Musk, Ziklag or various well-funded groups funded by Leonard Leo, they pose a serious threat to democracy and to our secular republic.
