Yup. https://www.mikechurch.com/has-the-time-come-to-texit-interview-with-daniel-miller-of-tnm-the-mike-church-show/

We could start by revoking the 17th Amendment.

Just like Congress retires to million dollar lobbyist positions, so do generals but for as Ike put it the military industrial complex. Nothing wrong with calling it out.

You mean like Ike did sixty years ago? https://www.npr.org/2011/01/17/132942244/ikes-warning-of-military-expansion-50-years-later

I figured it out: television. VGK/DAL tonight (Sunday). Both played Friday this way.

Why do they have VAN/VGK going back to back when PHI/NYI is going tomorrow already? Why put two games onto the Edmonton ice today when you have games tomorrow anyway?

Sharyl Attkisson has called out Trump, but she also keeps this list: https://sharylattkisson.com/2020/09/50-media-mistakes-in-the-trump-era-the-definitive-list/

More color-codes! Whoopie! Courtesy the UK Sun: I must ask ... Why isn't "fiery but mostly peaceful protests" on there?

“The inevitable outcome of the press having a business model that rewards brain manipulation versus accuracy is what I call political warming. As the press becomes increasingly skilled at stimulating the emotion centers in our brains, one should expect the public to be in a continuous state of fight-or-flight anxiety. We’re more scared and angry than I imagine we ever have been, at least since World War II. And that means bigger storms ahead in the form of protests and divisiveness.” -- Scott Adams, Loserthink “When you combine a human brain that is wired to notice problems with a press that is incentivized to present stories involving huge problems, you can easily start imagining that the world is falling apart in a variety of fatal ways. And that worldview might limit your ability to appreciate all the things going right.”-- Scott Adams, Loserthink

I just realized that NDSU doesn't use the official logo on their FB helmets. The still use snot-nose, er, snorty. I'm guessing because it's easily mirrored.

Is it asking too much for the Department (capital D, as in UND Athletic Department) to set a standard across the board for all helmets? Something like: - green helmets have black/white logo on sides and UND in black letters above the wearer's nose - black helmets have green/white logo on sides and UND in white letters above the wearer's nose

If I could I'd vote for Noem or Bergum over the three options now (and yes, I'm countin' Ye.)

October surprise?

The videos are NSFW.

That is what is called .... The one variable illusion – people look for a silver bullet when in reality almost always multiple variables matter https://blas.com/tag/scott-adams/

Ron White is "You can't fix stupid." Denis Leary is "Get a < bleep > helmet." Both apply. EDIT: Wait ... White has a shtick about helmets also. Forgot that.

... basket of deplorables ... ... the smell of Trump supporters at Walmart ... That stuff sticks with the targets of the denigration; it motivates.

What's worse: - false negative - false positive - untrustworthy tests

I have it on strong authority (I know a mid-to-high level SD Republican party apparatchik) that Gov. Noem have been to DC more than a couple times to visit with the Executive Branch in the last 60 days. Keep an eye out for upcoming events in Sioux Falls is what I was also told.

Any truth to the rumor his last words were: "You'll never take me alive, copper!"

In Nevada where Caesar's Palace can be open and full, but God's palace can not, some churches decided to hold services in ... a casino! I wonder if "that guy" showed up and tossed over the tables of the money changers.

I miss the days of only having to worry about one rainbow scale.

It does not bode well that the NCAA main offices (Indianapolis) are furloughing most staff for up to eight weeks. https://www.forbes.com/sites/carlieporterfield/2020/09/02/ncaa-will-reportedly-furlough-all-staff-for-at-least-three-weeks/#528d40f26194 But fear not dear reader, for hidden in that story is that NCAA senior execs and up are not subject to the furlough. < facepalm >

The director of a Fargo-area elder care facility moved into an open space at the start of this --> self-quarantined with the residents. I believe they made it about three weeks before they started going home (real home) at end of shift. Even with Bismarck "hot" the facilities there are allowing 30 minute outdoor scheduled visits. They admit the nominal risk is well worth heading off the guaranteed damage continued isolation is doing.
