Roundup
(1) One of the strangest things about Obama’s scold on black men for not supporting Harris enough is that most polls still show a strong majority of black men supporting her. In fact, black men may just be the demographic of men supporting her most of all other ethnic groups of men. What Obama is really saying here is that Democrats should own black votes at about a 90% level, and that anything less is unacceptable.
(2) Iran hit with massive cyberattack on government and nuclear facilities, with information stolen. Good.
(3) Kamala Harris says the election is “packed with some stuff.”
?This is brutal to watch. Kamala Harris without a teleprompter is the Democrat Party’s worst nightmare:
“When we think about what’s at stake in this election – well it’s packed with some stuff! Some fundamental stuff! *cackles* I say rather articulately.” pic.twitter.com/2UEboEUkgW

I think this is Harris’ idea of a joke about her own inarticulateness. But like most of her jokes, an unfunny one.
(4) Bill Ackman, erstwhile Democrat, gives 33 reasons why he’s voting for Trump in 2024.
(5) Gretchen Whitmer attempts to explain her strange and offensive video. And Democrats call Republicans “weird.”
From the Iran cyberattack link:
Which will only annoy the hoi polloi who are taking flights. Iran is starting to look over its shoulder. Paranoia strikes deep…
Regarding the Quds (?) general who is allegedly being questioned about allegedly being a Mossad agent: wouldn’t this more likely be a case of his being questioned because all this happened on his watch? I wonder if Mossad was able to plant some false flags to cast suspicions on an entirely innocent Quds general. If Israel can do a massive cyberattack on Iran, it could also be capable of planting false flags to cast suspicion on an innocent. 🙂
Neo dixit:
That’s right.
Neo dixit:
IIRC, Trump got 18% of the black male vote in 2020. That trend is apparently continuing. Part of the male/female gap that shows females more progressive/liberal than males- especially so for under 30s. Ironically, Allende had significantly lower support from women compared to men.
Israel finally and massively responded to the past rocket attack from the Islamic Republic of Iran. Cyber warfare!
Of course the Iranians are so very upset about this. Boo-hoo.

This has something to do with black men supporting Trump more than black women do.
Hey all im safe but ive been without power for two days
Good to hear, Miguel. I was wondering why you weren’t posting.
More on Obama lecturing black men. ‘I Got A Dad, And He Ain’t You’: Response To Obama’s Condescending Remarks Goes Viral. Condescending is second nature when you believe you’re the smartest person in the room. Recall Obama’s “bitter clinger” remarks in 2008 about them from the sticks.
Item(4)— Those 33 reasons from Ackman are on point. If you have not read all the way through, do so. He gives the 33 and also how he came to the conclusion he did, including the decision to post all this.
The link Neo gives us leads to a RCP item which, in turn, takes us to the Ackman X posting. Take the trip, it is worth it. Definitely share with your favorite Yellow-dog Dem.
Kamala Cackling Harris is a moron.
She is unable to articulate in english anything of substance regardless of the venue in which she finds herself.
This includes being “interviewed” by her acolytes.
It really is difficult to believe she is just not plain stupid and dumb.
It’s obvious that she is ignorant of the most basic issues, but any individual with a modicum of intelligence, esp. in her position will bring themselves up to speed through diligent study.
Either she has not done this – which in itself brings into question her intellect – or she has, but she is too dumb to comprehend any of it and be able to reach some sort of conclusions.
Granted, the fact that she passed the bar exam leaves many thinking she just cannot be dumb and stupid.
I will admit that I am mystified how she passed the bar exam (assuming it was she who sat for the exam, and not someone else who took the exam in her stead).
I think it’s great that Bill Ackman is supporting Trump. He is a lifelong democrat and is very prominent within the hedge fund world. Perhaps his decision will prompt others to reconsider voting for the Cackler.
Gender political gap:
My hypothesis is we are seeing the result of the, now nearly, 2 decade inequality in college enrollment where women are at 60%, or more. As higher education is now a leftist indoctrination place, makes sense all those women come out as leftists.
The Newsweek piece by Nina Turner (!) is remarkable. She is far left. I find her takes on social media ridiculous. And yet she takes great offense at Obama’s attempt to shame black men into voting for Harris.
On 2,
After reading the article that Neo linked, I think this is not Israel’s response, but merely the prelude. I can’t wait for the main overture…should be epic.
physicsguy
That is also my take. Epic, indeed!
For those who are able to read X, here are Ackman’s 33. Spot on.
