I don’t know man. Something about the fact young guys spend so much time gaming and indoors getting irony poisoned to the fact they write video game memes on bullet casings makes me think we got a problem with aimless young men in society.

Trump won Tioga County, Pennsylvania with 75 percent of the vote. But farmers there now risk losing everything because of Trump's crackdown on immigrants. One dairy farm that sold off all its dairy cows because the owner could not find workers. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

The story of conservatism for the past 70 years or so is conservative establishment figures thinking they could temper the extremists in their movement by adopt some of their rhetoric and policies. But instead of that, they just wind up giving the radicals the car keys.

Not taking away from the Knicks. I still think they are the favorites to win the series. But if they lose, it will be because the East did not have the best year between Halliburton and Tatum's injuries and the Bucks being trash. The Spurs had to get through the Wolves, Blazers AND the Thunder.

If you want to know why Susan Collins is in trouble despite, well, everything with Graham Platner, take into account she is currently noncommittal about Todd Blanche, the guy who said the Epstein case is closed and who helped create the weaponization fund. She's not breaking where it matters.

Tillis is not here after Trump nominated Todd Blanche. Tillis has said that January 6 is his hard line and he was angry at Blanche after Blanche announced the weaponization fund.

And gas affects egg and housing and car. Hence why farmers are worried about fertilizer (and why I say Iowa is a sleeper state for Democrats this year).
