There's always C-SPAN. They broadcast these without interruption. No matter who's in office.
I'm in Brandon Gill's district and he's voted for it every time.
This is why, if something like this is going to be broadcast, I stick with C-SPAN. They don't care who's in office, they simply broadcast it.

Meanwhile, Sen. Warner came on CBS and browbeat Tony Doukopil, saying they shouldn't have even aired what they did. Tony was highly upset, telling him "we agree with you that the speech isn't supported by facts", but the Senator insisted that they shouldn't have even given this the time they did.
If anyone remembers Scantrons from school, our system (Denton County TX) is a form of that. You show your photo ID, get a ballot, fill in the box beside your preferred candidate (or choice for items such as bond elections), and insert it into the box. Counting is automatic but you have the paper ballots as backup.
CBS broadcast the speech. NBC and ABC did not. I verified this once he mentioned it (I watched it on C-SPAN).

Unfortunately for you uniparty figs Paxton has more voters that usually don’t vote than there are of you uniparty fan girls.


I was at our precinct convention when the polls were closing (our site had both the Democrat and Republican primary locations).

There were maybe FIVE voters in the room with the GOP ballots. The Dem line was out the door and all the way to the bathrooms (at least 30 people waiting to vote).

And I'm in a county where ALL the county officials are Republican.

Talarico was going to be hard to beat as it was, but a Paxton win will guarantee a flip.
Even if Mary had the option (to her credit, she didn't object), I doubt the Nazareth Planned Parenthood would have succeeded in aborting Jesus.
I think Jim Parsons ate a Texas tortilla in a recent commercial.
At this rate, there won't be anyone left to keep Trump from taking it over without a shot.

(Alberta would surrender quicker than France. Saskatchewan and Manitoba might join them on day one.)

Congratulations on electing Talarico. Paxton will go down in flames.


Hopefully there will be a Libertarian candidate so I can at least cast a vote in the general election for this race (if Paxton wins the primary).
He may have, but many of his voters chose Hunt because their consciences wouldn't allow them to support a candidate who already broke his most important pledge (fidelity to his wife).

They will probably sit out the runoff. Paxton may still win (which means our next Senator will then be James Talarico) but it won't be as easy as he thinks.

Let me introduce you to the small town of Tanner, AL.


1974 Super Outbreak. Two F5, one right after the other, in the span of just over an hour. One man was injured from the first tornado, taken to a church shelter, and died when the second tornado caused it to collapse.

Then again in 2011 with another F5.

:bow: you win the Internet tonight.

Tulsa has to be the tornado capital of the US.


Moore says "hold my Red Solo Cup"
Given that, outside of weekly grocery store ads, most of my mail is pure junk and ends up in the recycle cart (along with the old store ads once the week passes), I won't miss it.

That Keith Olbermann still hasn't offed himself yet is the real shocker. He genuinely needs help for mental illness, I'm not even kidding.


He'd be the kind to come into work, take out a bunch of co-workers, then off himself.
When you can bet on the results of PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING matches (if you can get a hold of the script, you can't lose), you know it's out of control.

What's next? Whether Macbeth lives or dies?
Still do both.

Don't write as many checks (most payments are automatic).

Balance my checkbook each month.

Give Anduril some big time contracts and they will fix all of this


Page One, and everyone's favorite future IPO gets mentioned. :nana:

PS--They just got $74 million from DoD to expand their Mississippi solid rocket motor plant.
I know we're working on increasing production, but after a generation (sadly, mine) of outsourcing everything and treating vocational education like it was only for dumb students, we're way behind the curve, and it will probably take another generation just to return to where we WERE, much less where we NEED TO BE.
Both Lockheed Martin and RTX have publicly announced agreements with DoW (or DoD, or whatever we're calling ourselves this week) to increase missile production.

And then you have new entrants who are looking to get into the game, like the Internet's favorite IPO-in-waiting Anduril Industries.

(On that note, don't work at Anduril. They don't have nap pods, travel isn't exactly business class, and they expect you to test your products - in the field. This video is an insight.) Don't Work at Anduril

I just have to read "The Diamond As Big As The Ritz" to know this.
