This morning with our burned down church still smoldering and four saints murdered, members of the Church of Jesus Christ raised $60k for...checks notes...the shooter's wife and children. Most donations are anonymous. Each Christian comment will make you cry more than the last.

I don't agree with a lot of Harris policies. But I disagree with trying to steal an election so strongly that that's irrelevant. Respecting the peaceful transfer of power is a foundational issue in democracy: if you don't have that, nothing else matters.

Factory owner in Springfield, Ohio says he has 30 Haitian workers and wishes he had 30 more.

He says that unlike Americans in the area, they show up to work on time, stay by their machines, and don’t have a drug problem.

A friend recently asked me an interesting question:

If I could wave a magic wand and do 1 thing to improve health in the US, what would that be?

Here's what I'd do:

Employers covering payroll tax, unemployment, Medicare, and health insurance is a clever way to hide costs.

If all of that came into people’s bank accounts and everyone had to turn around and write a check, a lot of folks would be livid.

It has now been more than six years since any member of Congress has been allowed to offer an amendment from the floor of the House of Representatives. The person you elect has almost no power to represent you. This is an oligarchy masquerading as a representative government.

Governor Abbott, if you have any decency, you will immediately withdraw from this weekend’s NRA convention and urge them to hold it anywhere but Texas.
