We're safe and sound
Stupidity. Nine days away from the election and all the idiots won't shut the hell up. I'm voting for Kamala. I'm a grown up. I want to save the nation. And I was thinking of a Carly Simon song yesterday afternoon when C.I. called me. There was a senior citizens home 90 minutes from me and she'd heard from a local Democratic Party leader that they were really wanting someone to speak there but they were spread thin. So I said, absolutely and my wife and I went spoke there last night. But while we were on the phone, I said, "I'm tired of all the people pressuring Kamala to do this and to do that and it's like a Carly Simon song I can't think of the name of . . ." C.I. responded, "New York women wanting me sounding off like a suffragette?" Yes! "Safe And Sound." So let me note the video and the lyrics for that song from Carly's HOT CAKES album.
While some Democrats in close races have cozied up to Khan to churn out the base, Harris has, so far, avoided appearing publicly with Khan.
That, warned economist Hal Singer of the University of Utah, is a mistake.

The list of Republican elected officials pulling the lever for Kamala Harris in November keeps growing.
Wisconsin lawmaker Rob Cowles, the longest-serving member of the state’s Senate, told local radio station Civic Media that he plans to cast a ballot for Harris following reports that Trump previously praised Hitler and his generals.
“I probably should have done this sooner, but there was concern about blowback, you know, and public safety,” Cowles admitted. “This is one of the most important things I’ve done.”
For Cowles, the decision to endorse ultimately came down to Trump’s reported support of the Nazi leader and what Cowles sees as his disdain for the Constitution.
