First, they are not windmills. They were wind turbines. Nothing is getting milled. But he's too stupid to know that. Second, his obsession is because he sued Scotland over wind turbines in the sea outside his golf course. And he lost. Third, plenty of countries harnessing wind power are solvent.

Election Day is six days away. Haven't you had enough of this shitty government? Tariffs = taxes. Illegal wars. Oligarchy greed. Corruption and grift. Higher consumer prices. Gutted social services. The ballroom. The golf course. The bribery jet. ICE. DOJ persecutions. The Big Lie. All of it.

The Hurricanes' tight-end depth took a hit when Luka Gilbert suffered a season-ending injury in the offseason. But freshmen Israel Briggs and Gavin Mueller are starting to get more and more playing time, and they are making an impact on the Miami offense.

When fascist right-wing billionaires control major media in the US - and apparently the bulk of social media - they also control content. Another credible allegation of rape against Donnie Dementia will become suppressed information in today's media climate. This long-time journalist is appalled.

From the House Judiciary Committee Dems' report on Trump's sexual assault cases, the rape of Béatrice Keul, who had just become Miss Switzerland. This made headlines around the world, as US corporate media decides not to report it

Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Syria, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain ... the only one that gives me fits is Qatar. Guess that the Ivy League-educated JD Vance is pretending to be Hillbilly again.

A Kansas City Star columnist spent a few days in the hometown of Sen. Roger Marshall, and had a hard time finding people willing to say anything good about him. A lot of the quotes are like this one. ⤵️

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski has endorsed Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins for governor of Alaska, crossing party lines just one week before the midterms. She urged Republicans, independents, and Democrats to consider the Democratic ticket: “Alaska needs leaders who will put our state first.”

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

What a great image ahead of the midterms: MAGA presumed heir Donald Trump Jr. spent two days hunting in Mongolia with a Kremlin-linked oligarch who helped pay for his wedding celebrations. Former counterintelligence officials are sounding the alarm, but Donnie Dementia’s DOJ won’t investigate.

Turnout in Israel is currently 44.9% — the highest ever recorded at 2pm in Israeli history. I'm optimistic this means the end of Netanyahu. Polling won't have reflected just how many will decide on the day that they cannot vote for the man who presided over the biggest slaughter of Jews since WW2.

Mainers, are you paying attention to this Susan Collins scandal? Vote her out.

WATCH: A defense contractor CEO and his close associates donated nearly $900,000 to dozens of politicians and got over $40 million a year in government funding. He told the FBI that Sen. Susan Collins was his most important patron. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyiFFB7Kjg

Yes, “the world is falling apart” because Donnie Dementia is responsible for it. So are all the MAGA suck-ups in Congress and MAGA morons who vote for him and his kind. The senile old man finally says something with clarity.

Wow, sounds like a home game for the Brewers, but they are in St. Pete. The Rays - and the AL - are the junior league, aren’t they? Brewers might sweep in four games at this rate.

Can Bumatay be impeached?

Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social

Bumatay, meanwhile, shows he should not be taken seriously from the opening paragraph of his embarrassing 35-page dissent. Compare the first page of the federal appeals court judge's dissent with the first page of the actual complaint filed in federal court by DOJ. Truly.

BREAKING: The Ninth Circuit has refused to sign on to the Trump Department of Justice’s (DOJ) effort to disenfranchise thousands of California voters during the 2026 midterm elections. A district court will hear the case Tuesday.

DOJ has nothing better to do than political persecution of imaginary enemies of Donnie Dementia

Another poll question for Californians: In the 2028 Election, would you be more likely to vote in the Democratic or Republican primary? Democratic Primary: 53.41% Neither: 26.57% Republican Primary: 20.02%

Another poll question: In general, would you like to see policies that impose greater taxes on billionaires? Yes 64.45%; No 35.55%. This seems high, but the oligarch tech bros are spending a fortune to defeat the one-time tax on billionaires.

Took an online poll of California voters today. One question: Who did you vote for governor? Xavier Becerra, Democrat, Voting Rights Attorney 64.38%; Steve Hilton, Republican, Small Business Owner 32.18%. Seems about right. Hilton is a British ex-pat and a lackey of Donnie Dementia.

Netanyahu must go. Israel under his repressive regime has lost global support and broadly. But will Israelis turn a page, or keep the warlord in power?

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

Israel is just 2 days away from a critical election, and thousands of protesters are filling the streets of Tel Aviv demanding Netanyahu’s removal! They’re demanding accountability for October 7 security failures and an independent commission of inquiry.

One thin-skinned paper trillionaire used his wealth and fellow fascist oligarch bros to suppress documentary that exposes the truth about himself. Pathetic.
