One of my least favorite things to do. It's really difficult to narrow the choices down to only a few each week.

Quote I

“Regardless of the motives, I believe that destroying an artwork on display is unacceptable. Such acts not only undermine the museum’s role as a public space but also pose potential physical threats, beyond merely damaging the meaning an artwork carries.” Artist Ai Weiwei

Quote II

"Trump doesn’t really know how to stop the war even if he might think he knows how." Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky

Well you certainly don't Junior.

Quote III

"It's sobering, but one of the takeaway findings is the shared neuroanatomy between religious fundamentalism, confabulations, and criminal behavior," corresponding author Michael Ferguson

Hogan for Maryland

Nonstop false attack ads.

Millions of dollars flowing into Maryland from outside groups.

***** my name is being dragged through the mud and I’m outspent in this Senate race.

If you are with me–if you want to put an end to this type of toxic politics–then I am humbly asking you to chip in a donation to my campaign.

CHIP IN

I’ve always said this would be an uphill battle.

Now that we have less than 50 DAYS until Election Day, we’re facing the steepest climb yet.

The polls are extremely tight. In fact, two recent polls show me TIED in a DEAD HEAT with my opponent.

It is encouraging to see my Senate race so close heading into the final stretch, but we CANNOT take it for granted. Will you please chip in a donation to my campaign?

CHIP IN

This news has lit a fire under my opponent and her national allies.

They never expected to have to work so hard in Maryland this year.

Now, they are trying everything they can to bring down my campaign–and they’ve resorted to the lowest, most negative form of politics as a result.

If you turn on the TV, odds are you know what I’m talking about.

They plaster the airwaves with lies and negative attacks, and expect Marylanders to buy it!

But you know me. Marylanders know me. You know I will never bow down to extremists in either party. And you know that I am in this race to solve the biggest problems we all face, not add to them.

That’s why I’m reaching out to you today. I urgently need resources to push back against the onslaught of political attacks and close the spending gap with my opponent.

CHIP IN

With time running out, your immediate support WILL make a difference.

Please consider chipping in today. We are in danger of falling critically behind in spending, and if we do, it will be a monumental task to win on Election Day.

Thank you,
Gov. Larry Hogan

A Personal Message from Governor Larry Hogan:

Governor Larry Hogan

Hi, it’s Governor Larry Hogan.

When I launched my campaign for the U.S. Senate, I did so with a deep resolve to maintain the leadership style and principles that guided me during my eight years as governor.

Fifty years ago, my father, Maryland Congressman Larry Hogan Sr. made a tough decision. He became the first Republican to come out for the impeachment of President Nixon. He put aside party politics and his own personal considerations and stepped up to do the right thing for Maryland and the nation.

Today, Washington is completely broken because that kind of leadership and willingness to put country over party has become far too rare. But it’s not in my nature to sit back and watch the dysfunction continue without doing what I can to roll up my sleeves and get to work.

I’m under no illusion this will be an easy road. But I’m no stranger to uphill battles, and I know I can’t do it without your support.

I don't aspire to be a United States senator. I don’t need a title and I don’t need a job, but I’m more concerned than ever about the direction of the country and I have become more convinced that I can make a difference by taking the approach and style of leadership I had during my eight years as governor to Washington.

It’s no surprise this mindset has made me a target of the Washington partisans. Despite early polls showing a lead, I know I’m the underdog in this race. And that’s why your support TODAY is so crucial.

So if you can chip in a donation of $25 or more, it will go a long way in helping me continue building a strong campaign.

For eight years, we proved that the toxic politics that divide our nation didn’t need to divide our state, and we got results! Let’s get back to work again and send a message to Washington that will be heard loud and clear across the country!

Will you join me today and help end the dysfunction in Washington?

Thank you,
Larry Hogan

Seeing I'm a Wisconsin Cheesehead, not sure how I got onto this RINO's email circle. The nice thing about the internet is I can perform research. And if you can't vote for the Republican POTUS nominee why should I give you one red cent? The f**cking balls on some of these politicians.

I guess I'll be in trouble if I ever set foot in California. Don't see that happening anytime in this life time.

If I were Don Meredith I might start singing about turning off lights ro such nonsense. Goodbye KMart.

New York
CNN
—
Kmart, once one of America’s leading discount retailers, is closing its last full-size store in the mainland United States.

The store, in Bridgehampton, New York, on Long Island, is due to close October 20, according to an employee who answered the phone at the store Monday morning who did not want to give her name. The manager of the store was not available, and the corporate owner Transformco, the company that bought the remains of Sears and Kmart out of the bankruptcy of Sears Holdings in 2019, did not return an email requesting comment.

The chain still has a small convenience store version of itself in Miami, but not the full line of offerings that Kmart was once known for. That location does have some larger ticket goods, though, such as appliances. It also has stores in Guam and the US Virgin Islands, where it does not face competition from more successful big box stores.

Do you think the following ran through her head, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me"? Nope, she just declared herself a Genius Award Winner.

Bizarre, FloridaWoman Again Busted For Dildo Battery
In repeat of 2022 incident, Floridian jailed in sex toy tiff

SEPTEMBER 13--For the second time in two years, a Florida Woman has been arrested for a dildo-related domestic battery.

Chelsea White, 35, and her boyfriend were in the kitchen about to eat when the man discovered that his missing “glass dildo” was inside White’s backpack in the couple’s Fort Pierce residence.

The “mother of his child stole something from him and it got physical,” according to an arrest affidavit.

During an 11 PM tussle, White and the 35-year-old victim exchanged assorted blows. After the pair briefly separated, the man told cops, White began hitting him again “after he went to grab the backpack.”
