Even in little old New Hampshire one can find crazy candidates. Here we have US Senate candidate and former General Don Bolduc repeatedly stating that America's classrooms are home to children identifying as animals (furries), thus requiring litter boxes in the classroom. You just can't make this shit up, though someone obviously did. Either Bolduc is lying, which is pretty vile, or he believes it, which is probably even more frightening. If he falls for this BS, he'll swallow any Russian or Chinese propaganda that comes his way. 

It'll be interesting to see how the reversal on Roe plays out. For literally decades, it was endlessly repeated that if the GOP ever get rid of this, they will never win another election. Me thinks that bit of conventional wisdom had it utterly wrong. Tuesday will tell. 

It's beyond sad how easily the minds of voters can be manipulated, through anger, fear, jealousy, etc. A woman at work didn't hand out halloween candy because she heard on Tucker that fentanyl would be present on candy wrappers and were children to die in her neighborhood, she wanted to eliminate any possibility that the authorities would look at her. I'm debating on asking her how many kids in America died from poisoned candy given out this week. It's gotta be zero, and perhaps she may connect the propagandistic dots. Then again, Fox has no doubt moved on to some other outrage that will successfully tap into her prefrontal cortex. 

I do think inflation is the key as American's face it daily at the supermarket, gas station, or when the bills come in the door. Yes, it's a global phenomenon, yes Covid and the invasion of Ukraine surely play significant roles, but alas the Trump and Biden stimulus packages surely contributed to the rise with too much money chasing too few goods, and it's on Joe's watch. I just hope we can retain the senate. Don't think I'll watch the results.
