A loss of Florida's 29 electoral votes ends Trump's reelection effort on the spot. There's just no reasonable path to victory for him without it. The polling averages have favored Biden. At RealClearPolitics, Trump is down 1.2 points. The most recent poll, by Harris X for *The Hill* shows Trump losing 50% to 47% and the newest Marist poll for NBC News shows Trump losing 51-47%. But yesterday, according to *Politico*'s Florida ace reporter, Marc Caputo, the entirely incompetent and degenerate Florida Democratic Party is "sounding the alarm about weak voter turnout rates in Flo...

Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 16 hours ago
Frank Boardman "Pistol Pete" Eaton was a legend in the Old West, and well into the Modern West era too. He was a scout, Indian fighter, lawman and cowboy. He wrote about his life in his autobiography, "Pistol Pete, Veteran Of The Old West". Among his adventures was the time when ranch owners in the Texas Panhandle decided to put a stop to widespread rustling in the area. Here's what happened. There was a Cattlemen’s Convention at Mobeetie, Texas, and Colonel Charles Goodnight and Uncle Nick Eaton were up there for two days. When they came back they got all hands together...

I’m Really Sorry Redux
barovsky, The New Dark Age - 17 hours ago
A few years ago, after reading a brillig academic article about how those who believe in conspiracy theories might be inclined toward unethical actions and petty crimes, my conscience got the best of me and I made a public confession. I had been accused of being a conspiratorial thinker, and I knew I had once committed an unethical act, one that might be called a petty crime. The article made me feel guilty and I felt a strong need to admit my transgression, which I did. It felt so good to come clean in public. Oprah would have been proud of me.

The ruling came several hours after a hearing at the Lake County Courthouse in Waukegan, where defense lawyers sought to persuade Judge Paul Novak to block their Kyle Rittenhouse’s transfer to Wisconsin. At the hearing began, Rittenhouse’s lawyer said he’d had a change of heart since notifying the court that he planned to call witnesses, including Rittenhouse’s mother. The post Judge App...

It's A Sequence
Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 14 hours ago
COVID numbers are spiking around the world. They offer a grim lesson: Opening up too soon is a fool's errand. Yesterday, Doug Ford told his daily news conference: “I want the health officials to come up with a plan that lets business operate safely, because we don’t know how long this virus will be with us, but my friends, what we do know is together, we’re going to get through this.” But, Bruce Arthur writes, Ontario is in a tight spot: Does Ford want to emulate Alberta, which has stuck with many voluntary restrictions as their cases rise, or Manitoba, which waited too long to a...

* Perspective on a Doozy of a Hurricane Season* An unusually active tropical season doesn't invariably portend climate doomsday. The Atlantic Basin hurricane season doesn’t wrap up until November 30, which leaves plenty of time for another storm or two. (That appears likely, by the way, so be forewarned). We are, however, close enough to the end of the season that we can begin to judge the results. Without question, we can say 2020 has been a doozy of a hurricane season, which got busy early and shows signs of ending late. According to meteorologist and hurricane expert Philip Kl...
I Never Wanted A Perfect Relationship. I Just Needed Someone To Try As Hard As I Do
Ashley Walker, Enlightened Consciousness - 16 hours ago
Have your friends ever advised you that it is unreasonable to find someone perfect to be in a relationship? Or that it’s wrong to expect too much? Some people say that you have to get used to being with someone who is flawed and isn’t good enough. What they don’t realize is that relationships aren’t about perfection. I don’t need that. Your lover doesn’t have to be perfect in the eyes of others just to be enough for you. All I want is to find someone willing to match my effort. I want someone to love me the way I love them. A person who is committed, enthusiastic, energetic about t...

Sink an Aircraft Carrier? 5 Reasons It Might be Close to Impossible

*Loren B.

Although the Navy has changed it tactics to deal with the proliferation of fast anti-ship missiles and the growing military power of China in the Western Pacific, large-deck aircraft carriers remain among the most secure and useful combat sys...
Sprut-SD: Russia’s Big Aquatic Tank Destroyer
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Russia, * [image: Reuters] The Sprut-SD is somewhere in between an amphibious tank and tank destroyer. Thanks to its very large 125-millimeter main gun, it can fire the same ammunition as Russia’s main battle tanks. The Sprut-SD is not very well known, but thanks to its capabilities, it should be. Russia fields a wide variety of armored vehicles. Be they Cold War-era armored personnel carriers, or modern, state-of-the-art main battle tanks. One of their lesser-known armored vehicles, the so-called Sprut-SD, is in service with Russia’s airborne forces. The Sprut-...

The doodle notebook
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 15 hours ago
I bought a 2021 calendar with full pages for each day, and thought it would make a nice "gratitude" notebook. However, the notebook I was using (purchased by my daughter in 2009 for my birthday) was about to run out in early November. Yesterday I saw at Marc's a smallish notebook on a shelf where it didn't belong, so I asked about the price. $.99. Just my price. So I bought it, thinking I could finish out the year with it--no great loss if I didn't use the whole thing. When I opened it today, to start using it tomorrow, I found that it has doodles every third page. So I'll ...
Jack Maxton Chevrolet is now Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet

Our son Phil worked for many years at Jack Maxton Chevrolet just north of the home where we went for dinner last night. He was manager of the Quick Serve and had seen it through the construction of the new building before he resigned in 2018. When we passed it on Rt. 161 last night we noticed it is now Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet. We asked our hosts about it, and they said it had changed hands about 2 months ago. So I looked it up and found the article in an August paper. "Wahlberg's latest acquisition is Jack Maxton Chevrolet, 700 E. Dublin-Granville Road in Worthington. The loca...
