In addition to possibly losing control of the White House, Democrats are realizing that they may also lose control of the U.S. Senate this fall and panic is starting to set in among them.

Chuck Schumer would lose his role as majority leader. Wouldn’t that be a shame?

Per Jason Ounpraseuth of NESN, reporter Evan Lazar of the New England Patriots’ website raised eyebrows when he said during the latest edition of the “Catch 22” podcast that the team’s locker room was “teetering on mutiny,” in part because first-year head coach Jerod Mayo continues to play struggling veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett over promising rookie Drake Maye. Mayo spoke with reporters on Friday and said he hadn’t “heard” Lazar’s words. The coach was subsequently asked if he feels “like there’s frustration in the locker room” as 1-3 New England prepares to host the 1-3 Miami Dolphins this Sunday. “It’s always frustrating when you’re not…

BAKERSVILLE, N.C. — In Mitchell County, a mountainous and remote North Carolina region made even more remote in the wake of Hurricane Helene, residents are trying to make sense of the unthinkable. “Where do we go?” asked Susan Allen Wroblewski, 70, who also calls Sarasota, Florida, home a few months out of the year. “We got hit the worst. It’s been stressful.

Let me explain something about the government. Elon Muck is outraged that FEMA has blocked humanitarian efforts in the wake of widespread devastation in North Carolina. Elon Musk has had a go at FEMA because their actions are outrageous, and people will die because of it. Government employees have (1) myopic vision since they have no long-term vision, and (2) those in government cannot see Beyond What is Right In Front of Them, which is not a government attribute.
