Monday Morning Reads – May 14
Happy Monday, everyone! It’s the last week before Election Day, and shenanigans will run amuck. Brace yourselves.
News by the Numbers
2020 aspirations – Potential 2020 presidential candidate Senator Harris traveled from California to Atlanta after endorsing Stacey Abrams’ campaign for the Democrat nomination. Certainly, she’s attempting to build goodwill among Georgia’s progressive voters.
200,000 votes short – Y’all need to vote. We are well on our way to historically low voter turnout.
2.5 million illegal aliens – California’s sanctuary state law is fodder for conservatives and moderates to revolt against the state’s leftward swing in the midst of the Trump presidency. At the heart of the debate is the question, “who matters more? Me or an undocumented immigrant?”
$160 million in profit – Newspaper is dying, and one man has figured out how to make money on its death. I am not saying I’m glad, but I am saying I’m intrigued.
250 miles of coast – This is weird. Bolivia, a landlocked nation, has a navy mostly because they’re bitter.

Can you imagine if 46 Israelis died at the hands of Palestinians because of some political decision the US made? Or the repercussions?
I can’t.
I don’t think that’s an accurate line of thought. It’s also much more complicated than that.
A policy that three previous prez’s had also advocated vociferously. Were those earlier promises just BS? Just empty rhetoric? If not, be grateful for a man who does what he says he’s gonna do. Refreshing for a change!!
It should be no shock that candidates have a tendency to over-promise, but sometimes once they win they do learn new information that makes them change their mind.
And then sometimes they change their mind because, well, who knows.

Presumably, anyone with a more than 5 minute attention span would have done the due diligence to understand the implications of their actions.
I’m glad the Deplorables are happy. The rest of us I think are nervous.
