Do they think their voters are stupid?

Ohio Capital Journal@ohiocapitaljournal.com

Commentary: An Ohio Republican strategist told the New York Times that the campaign of Ohio Republican US Sen Jon Husted is trying to portray Sherrod Brown as the incumbent in the race amid backlash against the party in power in Washington. Will it work? ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/10/26/o...

One of the greatest tragedies of the Trump era is the normalization of this bullshit. He’s lying to our faces and there is no accountability.

Trump says El-Sayed is a jihadist and shouldn’t be allowed to serve in the Senate

As someone who barely watches the NFL, I’m irrationally upset over CBS showing a blowout Bengals game instead of a one-score Browns game.

They’re not flat-track bullies, more like sea level busts

BYU will get stomped by their first decent opponent whose in-game 02 sats are >80%

If I told you that Toronto lost the Canadian Championship to eventual champs Forge FC I would be lying because they actually lost to Atlético Ottawa in the prelims and these are all real teams who compete in some other Canadian league adjacent to MLS for some unknown reason

Well, on slow mo that’s a penalty. But the ref was in good positioning and didn’t call it. Shouldn’t be a penalty get rid of VAR

The excitement of the 2026 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup final prompted a new #Crew96 essay. 2002 was special, 2026 is a Crew cup run unlike any other, and CLB-STL is a cool matchup of soccer cities. I can't wait for Wednesday. www.columbuscrew.com/news/now-the...

The market’s gonna be flooded in 3 years with repossessed 2024 Ford Raptors at auction

as true as anything The Onion’s ever done

Crowds at new Comiskey look like a premier league match - every seat occupied and even, neat rows of heads.

Anyone who misses watching Argentina’s World Cup bullshit can just tune into Inter Miami

Crazy game in Columbus tonight - drama and real bad blood between the teams. Via @bensteiner00.bsky.social, Crew coach Laurent Courtois was sharply critical of Miami gamesmanship postgame: "I would be red carded after five minutes against those guys. What they do is bad for the game, and it's sad."

I think Mendez shoots that ball not trying to score but to generate a rebound, which is very clever. And worked. #crew96

In 2008 the Crew won a game in the road In DC and that’s when I was convinced they were for real. Watched it at the short-lived (?) downstairs bar in Ruby’s.

NBC4i is running a ticker with blue chip and central Ohio company stock prices on television on Saturday at 11pm. Who is this for?

Two important life lessons I’m trying to instill to my kids are: the left lane is for passing only; and during the Buckeye Battle Cry, “C’mon Ohio!” is said over 2 syllables only. Go Bucks!

It didn’t work out here. By all accounts, family was settled here so that can’t be easy to uproot after right school started. Part of the business I guess. Good luck - starting next week of course.

The World Cup competition has been fantastic and I’m sad it’s coming to an end. Hard to imagine getting a better final than 2022 but let’s hope!

Imagine how disappointed you’d be if instead of watching Argentina Cape Verde you had to go to Taylor Swift’s first wedding

Henry and Ibrahimovic need to taper their pregame trazadone or something. They sound tired and disinterested minutes before kickoff
