I keep hearing from the chattering class that Donald Trump garnered over 72 million votes in his loss to Joe Biden, so Democrats need to listen to them. There was an even split between the number of states that voted for President-elect Joe Biden and the current lame-duck Donald Trump, although Mr. Biden amassed nearly…

GA-Sen A & B: Emerson Poll Has Both Jon Ossoff (D) & Raphael Warnock (D) Leading
Here’s the latest news today out of Georgia courtesy of Emerson College’s latest poll: The final Emerson College poll before the November 3rd election in Georgia finds President Trump leading Biden by less than a point, 49% to 48%. Two percent (2%) of voters plan to vote for someone else and 2% are undecided. Biden…
ME-Sen: “How my former boss Susan Collins (R) broke my heart – and lost my support”
A former member of U.S. Senator Susan Collins’ (R. ME) staff released a very compelling op-ed piece in the Press Herald where she talks about how she was date raped by her boyfriend and another man. She explains how getting her job working Collins helped her cope and move on in her life and how…
I thought you were Proud…Boys?
Sure, there is something to be afraid of when a group of gun-toting terrorists brandishes weaponry to cover their intellectual deficiencies. Whether they or their ilk, make plans to kidnap governors, or declare the “Proud Boys are here” in a profanity-laced group tirade directed at the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, alarm bells generally…
15 Days and Counting
We are fifteen days from electing the next President of the United States. Honestly, if you are still one of the undecideds, I would love to hear your reasons. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden was widely criticized for saying if you do not vote for him “you ain’t black.” Other than the obvious colloquial choice…
MO-Gov: Can We Please Get Rid Of Missouri's Racist Dog Whistling, Superspreader Governor
There aren’t a lot of Governor races for me to cover this year. Governors Roy Cooper (D. NC) and Jay Inslee (D. WA) are looking good heading into re-election and Montana’s Governor race is the only real toss-up. But if there’s one race that could possibly break late, it’s the Missouri Governor race where incumbent…
Londo Cotton's a proud good ole boy with a necessary evil that Trump promoted because 'heritage'

KY-Sen: Amy McGrath (D) Calls On KY AG To Release Grand Jury Report On Breonna Taylor Case
This needs attention: Kentucky Democratic Senate candidate Amy McGrath on Thursday called on state Attorney General Daniel Cameron (R) to release the grand jury report in the killing of Breonna Taylor. “Breonna's family and Kentucky deserve to know what happened the night she was killed. The fact that the grand jury did not even consider…
Why Do Black People Think So Much of Race…?
Black people get that question put to us a lot more often than you would think. It is generally followed by the statement, ‘well…I don’t see color’ or ‘things have changed’ accompanied by a raised eyebrow of incredulity. Unlike the police or people who believe in witchcraft, people of color cannot take off their skin…
Was Michael Reinoehl shot “clutching a cellphone and eating a gummy worm as he walked to his car”
Trigger-happy extralegal shooting by federal law enforcement. US Marshals fired many rounds into/at him. But surely death squads don’t exist in America. When police last week surrounded Michael Forest Reinoehl, a self-described anti-fascist suspected of fatally shooting a member of a far-right group in Portland, Ore., the wanted man wasn’t obviously armed, a witness to the…
GA-Sen B: Rev. Raphael Warnock (D) Releases Ad Recalling Childhood Experience With Racism
Good stuff: x When I was 12, I was falsely accused of shoplifting in a grocery store. My experience dealing with structural inequality as a black kid is the same as many, and in the Senate, I will fight to level the playing field for all working Georgians.

GA-Sen B: Watch Black Lives Matter Activists Bring The Heat To Kelly Loeffler's (R) Campaign Event
This is awesome: A campaign event for U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., in North Forsyth was interrupted by Black Lives Matter supporters on Thursday afternoon. About four individuals began chanting “Black lives matter” during Loeffler's remarks at the Sawnee Mountain Park community building during a campaign event attended by several local officials and U.S. Sen….
Trump: 'We’re all safe because of law enforcement’ in Kenosha shooting man 7 times

Kyle Rittenhouse, junior patriot, brought a gun to a skateboard fight, and Mom helped
Trumpian legal defense logic would suggest that like the COVID toll, Wendy Rittenhouse helped her kid with his guns but she didn’t get killed, and the death toll from her son’s shooting spree was a lot less than Newtown. Trump claims he’s saved millions of lives even as his inaction and incompetence has more than doubled the…
Trump says paintballs would be defensive
“Coming from out of town to drive through crowds of people, spraying mace, and shooting paintballs all falls under “self defense.” Interesting. So if BLM travels to the suburbs and does the same, you would defend it as well?” Or more stupidly, is Trump condoning their use by non-LEOs when he goes to Kenosha tomorrow. x…
Is it About Who Demands the Justice?
It strikes me as curious as to why the Black Lives Matter slogan is such an irritant to a large number of conservatives. It seems a simple premise, include us in your view of the sanctity of life. When Donald Trump bellows “America First” does that mean that Europe, Asia, and Africa should rebel in…
GA-Sen B: Loeffler (R) Blames Protestors, Not Gunman, For Protestors Deaths In Kenosha Shooting
True to form: x Blaming the shooting targeting protesters — 2 were killed — on the protesters themselves is the take Georgia Sen.

SC-Sen: Of Course Lindsey Graham (R) Wants To Know Why Jacob Blake “Didn't Yield” In Police Shooting
Can’t say that I’m surprised: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Tuesday questioned the actions Jacob Blake took before the 29-year-old Black man was shot several times by a police officer in Kenosha, Wis., asking why Blake “didn’t yield.” Graham spoke at a press conference announcing the endorsement of the South Carolina Fraternal Order of Police, according to Politico, when he…
WI Dems Mount Pressure On GOP State Legislature To Pass Legislation Cracking Down On Police Violence
Received this e-mail today from the Wisconsin Democratic Party: In the wake of the horrifying police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man in Kenosha, who was shot in the back while his three children watched, Governor Evers called the State Legislature into a special session on police accountability and transparency.
