Has anybody actually read the Green New Deal? Kind of amazing the use of that term without a definition of what it is.

"Vance does worse in his home region at -16 points than he does in the average of all polls… So the people who know him best, the region that knows him best, they like him even less than America likes him.”

— Polling analyst Harry Enten, on CNN

Plus, betting markets have opened up on if he'll be retained on the ticket.

This is my favorite story about Spa.

"During the 1973 Spa 24 Hours three drivers were killed. Jochen Mass tells a horrifying story of sharing a car with Hans Stuck and during one of the pitstops at the night, Stuck shouted to him over the noise that he should "look out for body parts at the Masta Kink". Mass arrived there expecting to see bits of car all over the road but was appalled to discover it was bits of a marshal."

I've only seen such opinions from Iron curtain countries that strive to get enough toilet. paper. Good luck with that, btw.

It's not a disease for anybody who believes in free enterprise. It's true for management and workers.

Building good product and services is a way to maximize profits. It really isn't an either/or situation.

Spoken like a guy who has never been in business. Maximizing profit is what you are paid to do. I've worked for large corporations and created small companies. Without the realization of that fact, you cannot be successful in either.

So, you're telling me he worked for an investment firm and played a market? I'm shocked. Next thing you'll be telling me is that as a DA, Harris put too many people in jail.

But, you know the story you won't tell? That they created several million dollar businesses and sent them into bankruptcy, leaving the little guy holding the bag.

Why? Because, they were actually good at their jobs.

You know where "close" counts?

Not really. I'll give you a "for instance". Few people know this story.

In this case, although in danger, Trump was being shot at by someone who couldn't shoot.

It is relevant to history. You can either tell the Trump story that a bullet hit his ear, or you can say that he caught shrapnel.

 

“If anyone is going to challenge Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic presidential nomination, they have only until this weekend to do it,” Politico reports.

“Delegates to the Democratic National Convention rules committee approved the virtual roll call on Wednesday, moving ahead with a July 30 deadline for candidates seeking to collect delegate signatures to appear on the virtual roll call. The virtual roll call, which must be completed by Aug. 7 to comply with Ohio ballot access deadlines, could start as early as next Thursday.”

 

Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan (R) said he would vote for Kamala Harris over Donald Trump, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports
