Lindsey Graham’s passing sparked conversation and controversy on *how* to talk about the departed in public. I had some thoughts that may spark some…disagreement.

SHIIIIIIIIII…. She shouldn’t have picked another judge.
MS GOP Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith announced today:"I will not return the blue slip on the nomination of Scott Colom to serve as a U.S. District Court judge for the Northern District of MS." Colom was 1st nominated to a lifetime appt. as a federal judge by President Biden in Nov. 2022.

With major wins in Kansas, South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas and now Mississippi, Democrats are four seats away from a filibuster proof majority — and potentially turning Texas blue in ‘28.
Question: why bother getting rid of the filibuster or the Electoral College?
Little known fact. Black senators are not permitted to have hair on their heads.
NEW from me - In April, Sen. Raphael Warnock unintentionally made a room full of DC donors break out in laughter talking up the chance Scott Colom would win.
Now Colom is ahead as the counting comes close to ending. Here's the arc of how it happened:

Recipient of a Trump pardon (who expected Cuellar to switch parties)! #youplayedyourself
Texas in 2026 was so crazy that I just noticed that Republican Tano Tijerina — the Webb County Judge who was a highly touted recruit — finished with less than 30% of the vote against the…uh….let’s just say morally challenged Henry Cuellar in a gerrymandered Trump +10 district.

Contrary to conventional wisdom, it's possible that this Biden autobiography is actually "written" by him (or at least largely dictated by him). Seems to have a bit more introspection and actual newsy tidbits than the typical memoir.
Former President Joe Biden, writing in his memoir scheduled to be released next week:
“And as I sit here today, do I wish I had been tested sooner? Yes, I do. Do I wish the cancer had been caught before it spread to my bones? Yes, I do,” Biden writes. “But I was treated no differently from any other eighty-two-year-old man in America. Maybe I should have been. But I wasn’t.”
Yes, that’s the point that some of us have been making since the first word of the diagnosis. For the average man, the risk of a false positive diagnosis and the subsequent treatment is greater than the risk of not testing. But the average man is not the president of the United States!

Hurd mentality > herd mentality.
Hurd voted against global tariffs and the voters respected his independence. This whole election was for a check and balance, and against a rubber stamp.

“Karmanders”?
If Trump got his way with dummymanders in Indiana and South Carolina, GOP would have lost another ~10 House seats or so...
Pure greed and political hubris...

Have you considered switching to Compuserve?
Folks, I have spent literally the entire day trying to get someone at AOL to unlock my email. For the last eight hours, I have been told that the issue has been escalated to supervisors who would contact me. I haven't heard a thing.
You would think that, since I'm one of the last human beings on the face of the Earth still using AOL, they would take care of this. You'd be wrong.
So, once this gets resolved, hopefully before the next presidential election, I'm dropping them. (I kept them this long out of convenience, but now I have no reason to keep them.)
I'll see you on the radio at 6 p.m., at which time I will address this further.
