AMERICA'S NEWS OF RECORD: Democrats criticize Amy Coney Barrett for constantly interrupting their campaign speeches.
A DOSE OF OPTIMISM?
We can dream.
A BRIGHT SPOT in the Barrett confirmation hearing today.

Actually there were two bright spots, the second being her back-and-forth with Sen. John Kennedy [R-LA]. In the first half, Sen. Kennedy essentially called the Democrat half of the Judiciary Committe liars; in the second, he and Barrett had a very illuminating conversation about history, the law, and the Constitution from which I learned a great deal.

If you can find it online, please watch.
CNN HEADLINE: Barrett says she owns a gun, but could fairly judge a case on gun rights.

So -- only non-gun owners can fairly judge gun rights cases?

These people are so damn stupid they must take classes....
WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for October 13, 2020:

Back on track again, I hope, with a Tuesday-Friday update schedule.
It remains pretty much 'same old, same old'. The 7-day average of daily deaths has dropped below 700; the percentage of positive tests remains at 7%, still slowly decreasing, and the survival rate is still better than 99.8% of [all] confirmed cases.

Trends (U.S. and global) remain positive -- meaning continuing to decline.

In Georgia, the data has finally been updated to today. Confirmed cases show a slight uptick, but deaths continue to decline (7-day rolling averages). Hospitalizations have leveled out around 1,200, with new hospitalizations at about 100/day (both 7-day rolling averages).
BREAKING NEWS: Reality is immoral.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, [D(umb)-RI] renewed his conspiracy-theorist credentials by accusing Republicans (of course) of using 'dark money' to influence the Supreme Court.

Thank goodnes I wasn't watching his presentation or we would have two less televisions in the house.

Not that that's necessarily a bad thing....
GO FOR IT, CHUCKIE. Schumer says Democrats will try to block Barrett confirmation by not giving Republicans quorum.

The 'Murder Turtle' is a lot smarter than you are.
‘LISTEN UP, JACKWAGON’: Sen. Ben Sasse [R-NE] lectures Democrats on civics during Barrett hearing.

Unfortunately he did it at a Schoolhouse Rock! educational level; the Democrats are (at best) kindergarten level.
QUESTIONING HER FITNESS: Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) introduces resolution to remove Pelosi as House Speaker.

For the Democrats, a lesson yet to be learned: “For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.”
OF COURSE IT IS: Is the Left preparing to steal your vote?

They've been trying for years. They've never succeeded on a state or national level; they won't this time either.
THE DIPLOMAD: The crazy lives loudly within them.
