Good to see that some folks can't be dazzled.

Night storms always make me nervous. If something dreadful's coming I want to see it from the front porch in the daylight.

There are entirely too many Arkansas politicians on Fox.

She's been smug about operating under a political "mandate," but has taken too much for granted. Sarah's early failed endorsements for Conway School Board candidates should have given her pause. She should sit down with a couple of previous governors and humbly learn about Arkansas politics.

"Boots in the casket," for example, would NOT be a useful device because that is a moral bridge too far even for politicians.

Just a reminder that "boots on the ground" is a political/military objectification. In the literary analysis biz we call it a chremamorphism, and the purpose is to dehumanize.

"Boots on the ground" only works as a device when there are actual feet in those boots holding up living soldiers.

So many narcissists competing for attention.

It's like planting tomatoes - I always jump the gun and bathe in regret.

The hubris. I'm guessing neither his wife nor God has forgiven him.

Phi-somethings frat party at the rock crusher. August, easily 105⁰. Lukewarm PGA punch. Gap Band so loud and bassed out my circulatory system altered.

Wow.

She's like an old samurai whose great battles are behind her but every once in a while she kills a man with piece of paper just to prove a point

Of course the guns were acquired legally. The suspect openly carried legally as well. All of that's on you, Texas.

That won't stop the locals and feds, though, from making sinister connections.

Takes me back to the old satanic panic days when there were devils, devils everywhere.

Hegseth touts military strength at Arkansas rocket motor facility Top officials, including Pete Hegseth and Gov. Sanders, visited Camden to thank L3Harris employees for strengthening America's defense manufacturing capabilities.

So look who visited Camden the day before bombing Iran. Just checking on the war supply chain.

At the beginning of this year, I found myself unexpectedly drawn to Melville, wanting to read beyond β€œMoby Dick.” So the stories from β€œThe Piazza Tales,” β€œBilly Budd,” and now β€œThe Confidence-Man,” and I think it’s the reader’s version of the trick knee presaging storms; you know before you know.

Knew about the others. The Iranian assassination "attempt" (vs a threat) Cotton mentioned was something entirely new to me.

"...the attempted assassination of President Trump" - what's Cotton talking about, here? Did I miss something?

"The president is starting to get pissed with Huckabee for interfering with his negotiation," said a person familiar with the matter. "And he hasn't forgotten that his daughter refused to endorse him in the last campaign."

Well, then.
