It seems like it. It seems like there are always last minute batches that come in from someone's trunk or just showed up or magically appeared. mspart

Yep, he said it there. She was picked for diversity. For those scoring at home, diversity is what the first letter represents in DEI. He did not pick her because she was the best to choose from, he did not pick her because she was intelligent. He picked her because she was diverse. He said it right there. mspart

https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-fact-checks-tim-walz-about-absolutely-false-claim-he-carried-weapons-war CNN correspondent Tom Foreman fact-checked claims about Walz’s military record that same day, recalling, "Walz did make a comment, speaking to a group — he’s done it a couple of times, where he has used language that suggested that he carried weapons in a fighting situation." Walz was seen in a video shared by the Harris campaign on Wednesday where he declared at a campaign event, "We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at." "There is a difference between being in a combat area, being involved in a time of war, and actually being in a position where people are shooting at you," he said, adding there "is no evidence that at any time Governor Walz was in the position of being shot at, and some of his language could easily be seen to suggest that he was. So that is absolutely false when he said that about gun rights out there." The correspondent also said the campaign had come forward to say that Walz would never want to purposely mislead people about this. Foreman noted such a response is "what campaigns tend to say." But if they say he didn't mean to purposefully mislead, there is a treasure trove of evidence to bury that "mea culpa". Walz has been doing this for a long time and finally got caught. Period. This will dog their campaign for a long time. mspart

I paid for Peacock and have to run through the commercials. In order to watch Hildebrandts match last night I had to go through a 4 hour broadcast. It doesn't tell me where the match is so I have to guess. Each time I guess I get to watch 2 minutes of commercials. I'm am irritated as heck. I spend 8 minutes trying to find a 6 minute match!! Amit's and Mijian's final were on a video all its own on Peacock. I thought that was how it was going to go. Nope. I'm canceling as soon as the Olys are over. mspart

I could probably do ok over there. Thanks for the tip! mspart

And if nobody is fact checking those that are fact checking the fact checkers, the presidential debates are a ridiculous scam that are unburdened by what has been. mspart

Looks like Trump has agreed to 3 debates with Kamala. One on ABC, one on Fox, and one on NBC. So much for being a coward. Now what will Kamala do? mspart

What the heck are you talking about TPT. Socialism is not neighborliness. Period. I have lots against socialism, not too much against neighborliness. How you somehow in your twisted reasoning came up with me being against neighborliness is probably the strangest case of purposefully misrepresenting what is being said that I have seen. By the way, helping a neighbor move on Saturday. I hate them of course as you obviously think but will endeavor to help them getting the heck out of the neighborhood. TPT - This is the worst example of you being you that we have had on these boards. What a life you must lead misrepresenting everything you see and hear. It must get lonely. mspart

Hear hear!!! mspart

Proably true. I am trying to retire and need the 401K to get to a certain point. I would rather that be in a year or two than 5-7 years from now. So a 6% drop gets me a bit excited. mspart

Thank you, So Helen goes for Bronze tomorrow. Too bad. Great news for Spencer!!' mspart

Helen? Spencer? results? mspart

Even CNN has called Walz's claim as false. CNN!! mspart

The fact remains that Walz said: "We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at." The fact remains that he carried no weapon in a war. Fact: He never went to war. Fact He said he went to war. Fact He didn't. Fact He lied about going to war. That is called stolen valor. mspart

This is awesome. Our women's team is great. Elor, Hildebrandt with Gold. Parrish made it to repechage. I think we are doing very well. mspart

Just had our WA primary today. Handed in ballots on Sunday. Hopefully they are counted. We'll see in about 7 weeks when the counting and "oh, what is this huge pile of ballots that we didn't see before doing here" forgeries are all done. mspart

Which is better, Sweet Baby Rays, or Stubbs? mspart

Not a leftist? mspart

She did what she was directed to do. Pass up on the Jewish guy for a fellow leftist. All the lefties are happy with this choice. Not so sure about moderate Ds. Not so sure moderate Ds are for Kamala either. She is neither moderate nor a straight talker. Her policy positions change with the breeze. But once elected, her true colors will come out as they did in her VP days and Senate days. https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/08/06/kamala-harris-woke-unearthed-clip/ “We have to stay woke,” she said, laughing. “Everybody needs to be woke. And you can talk about if you’re the wokest or woker, but just say more woke than less woke.” mspart

Walz said, one person's socialist is another persons neighborliness. Walz signed law that puts tampons in elementary school boy's bathrooms. Walz signed law that allows abortion to the point of birth. Also does not save the life of the baby if the baby is born alive against all odds. Not a leftist? That is the leftist playbook. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/tim-walz-signed-bill-making-minnesota-a-sanctuary-state-for-child-sex-changes/ Dubbed the Trans Refuge Bill by supporters, the law grants legal protection to children who travel to Minnesota for so-called gender affirming care, including puberty blockers, reconstructive genital surgery, and hormone therapy, as well as the medical practitioners who provide it. The law prohibits Minnesota courts or officials from complying with child removal requests, extraditions, arrests, or subpoenas related to a child’s sex-change procedures received in Minnesota, even if they’re a crime in another state. The law makes seeking gender-transition procedures for minors a factor in some assessments for whether a Minnesota court has jurisdiction to make an initial determination in child-custody cases. It also gives courts temporary emergency jurisdiction if a child comes to Minnesota from a state that refused them the procedures. Not a leftist? That is the leftist playbook. mspart

No, we only count the down days. It's only fair. Ha ha. Biden has staked his presidency on "improving the economy" and has pointed to employment numbers to prove his point. The uptick in unemployment was not huge, but the effect on the market was. A loss of 6.5% in three days is not inconsequential. If you read market news, they are not expecting a bearish trend. mspart

That may be true. MN was already in the tank for any one with a D after their name. So picking Walz wasn't necessary to shore up MN with its massive electoral votes. He's loud so Kamala can be quiet (statesmanlike). He's a leftist so she can move to the middle and appear more moderate. But no one should assume she has changed. She is still the progressive leftist she has always been. Biden pulled the trick on us by saying he would be moderate. He got elected and wasn't moderate on hardly anything. Harris has watched and learned. mspart

This is true. She's unqualified because she is incompetent. See video above. mspart

That would be my first guess. But seems kind of ghost like, maybe both? mspart
