Oh dear.
«“I venture to point out that both the English and the Indians spring from a common stock, called the Indo-Aryan. … A general belief seems to prevail in the Colony that the Indians are little better, if at all, than savages or the Natives of Africa. Even the children are taught to believe in that manner, with the result that the Indian is being dragged down to the position of a raw Kaffir.”»

I hope the Dems have a plan for running against somebody other than Trump (Pence?) this fall.
«“This is a persistent neurological sign that, combined with others, would be concerning enough to require a brain scan,” Dr. Bandy Lee, a Yale psychiatrist wrote on Twitter.
….
Trump insists he is in perfect health and the White House released an annual physical that claimed he is in good shape for his age, who turned 74 on June 14.»
«Ms. Ogg’s office attempted to notify Mr. Floyd about the review of cases involving Mr. Goines but now believes he likely never received the March 2019 letter, which was sent to his last known address on Nalle Street in Houston’s Third Ward.
“Based on a review of criminal cases filed in Harris County, Texas, it appears that former Houston Police Department Officer Gerald Goines may have been involved in the above-referenced case which resulted in your conviction,” the letter said. “Please be informed that Officer Goines has been relieved of duty and is currently under criminal investigation.”»

«…all of these battleground states save Michigan are more Republican-leaning than the national average. In other words, most of the states that will decide the presidential election are to the right of the country as a whole, and that speaks to Trump’s advantage in the Electoral College. Should Biden continue to hold a sizable lead, the chances of an Electoral College-popular vote split will probably be low. But if the polls get closer, the odds will increase because the eventual tipping point state is almost certainly among these eight states. But as it stands now, if Trump carries Arizona along with every state that’s more Republican-leaning in those recent polls, he would almost certainly win the presidency.»
«Now that the deal has collapsed, Cha, Lewis, Klingner and other experts expect North Korea to do something provocative in the fall, in an effort to punish Trump during the political campaign.
“Perhaps an October surprise,” Klingner said.»
Alrighty, then.

Ok, “racist FOLKS” is my new operative phrase. But, please, Joe, never dangle your mask off your ear like that again. It’s gonna be the Michael Dukakis tank photo.

«McFaul said what he’s seeing now reminds him of tactics the Kremlin has used against its domestic political opponents. “It’s not to convince you of a different point of view. It’s to convince you that there is no truth,” he said. “When it feels like nobody’s telling the truth and there is no truth, the reaction to that is despondency and demobilization.”»

Always fun when a statement doesn’t quite mean what you’d like it to mean.
«Mohler, who is widely expected to become the next president of the SBC when Baptists meet in Nashville in 2021, said that the convention probably could not use any gavel from the time period of its founding because many leaders at the time supported slavery or held slaves.»
“We can’t not use historical artifacts, because all of our history is racist!”
(I’m guessing if they’re only now getting around to retiring a single wooden gavel, they have a LONG way to go.)
