So, inflation is the lowest in three years. Does that mean prices will go down? Nope. The “experts” say it won’t matter. WTF? Prices went up because of inflation, these same experts said. Ergo, they should go down when inflation goes down, right? (Scratches head.) To use an old cross-examination tactic, “Were you lying to us then or lying to us now?”

What, there are still buildings left in Gaza to bomb?

Whew! Never expected France would give the U.S women trouble in Olympic basketball, but they sure did. They were tenacious on defense and rebounding and forced numerous American turnovers. We were fortunate to get that one-point victory, which enabled us to tie China for number of gold medals. Next stop, LA!

Iran, if you’re listening . . .

Looks like the U.S will get the most medals in the Olympics this year - and more than our winning number in Tokyo - but China, which lost to us by one gold in Tokyo will beat us in golds. Just too many events they’re good in while we underperformed. Most notably in swimming, track, and beach volleyball.

Did anyone see Lawrence O’Donnell’s takedown of the press’s double standard when it comes to asking questions of Trump vs Biden/Harris? Can someone post that link? My iPad is not cooperating today. Thanks!

#politics. Harris should not agree to a debate with Trump hosted by Fox - which admitted in the lawsuit they lost that it isn’t a news network. Opinion/entertainment only. Okay, maybe the History Channel’s Ancient Aliens program would like to host a debate?

Thank you, Joe Biden. Thank you for putting a stop to Trump in 2020. Thank you for your leadership in getting important measures passed that stagnated for so long. Thank you for your international expertise in keeping our allies together and getting our political hostages back from Russia. And thank you for your wisdom and patriotism in ceding power to your second in command so we can prevent Trump from having a second go at disaster for the country!

#politics We’ll see how Vance will try to wiggle out of a debate with Walz, so he won’t have to answer for the lies he’s told about him and his military service. Walz would destroy that so-called Marine.

Agree. And Smith as AG isn’t a far-fetched idea going forward. For sure, he’d have the motivation to see his hard work come to fruition finally.

Totally agree! And I hope Harris will have an AG with some spine!

#politics 4. Reagan and H.W. Bush were exceptions having three administrations in a row. If Harris wins, that’ll be two for the Biden regime. A third would be unlikely. History tells us Republicans (or another party?) would win in 2028. So Shapiro as VP would be out of a job. Even if Harris pulls off the trifecta, Shapiro would then be looking at 2036 to run for President after losing in 2032. Meanwhile, he could be a senator and run in 2032 for president after the Dems lose in 2028 (or 2032).

#politics For all those bummed that Shapiro wasn’t tapped for VP - and we don’t know what went on in Harris’s interview - consider these things:
1. Put aside he’s a Jew, invoking an anti-Semitic element, Israel is controversial now, and do we want him having to explain his stance regarding that?
2. He basically has the same resume as Harris. No diversity there.
3. He’s only 51 and sure to have higher political ambitions.
