So much news …
(1) Pay now or pay later, but somebody pays. And I’m surprised that the WaPo is reporting on this:
Rooftop solar is a disaster:
1. In California, rooftop solar has shifted electricity costs so that poor Californians are paying an estimated $6.5 billion more electricity. Someone has to pay of the grid and rich solar panel owners aren't.
2. Rooftop solar has also wrecked the… pic.twitter.com/7TqJdFVaqc

(2) Harris calls a question about whether Trump will put all non-white people in camps “an important point.” She doesn’t go so far as to say Trump will do it, but she says:
You’ve hit on a really important point and expressed it, I think so. Well, which is? He is achieving his intended effect to make you scared. He is running full time on a campaign that is about instilling fear. Not about hope, not about optimism, not about the future. But about fear.
Another case of Harris saying Trump is doing what she is doing here. The entire Democrat platform is based on two things: fear of Trump and the giving of supposedly free stuff by the Democrats.
(3) Hat tip: commenter “sdferr.”
UPDATE: @SenTomCotton gives Biden-Harris 3 days to "provide any 'evidence' of such violations" to Congress – Says Israel arms embargo is 'politically driven excuse to pressure our ally to ratchet down its campaign against the Iranian regime' https://t.co/OQqOIiLt75 https://t.co/ToXpbre7sl pic.twitter.com/WmrDcR28Gq

Good for Tom Cotton.
(4) The Harris campaign lies about a musical interlude at a Trump rally. The rally was stopped to attend to the needs of two people in the crowd who had medical emergencies, and the Harris campaign says it happened because Trump got lost and confused. That’s rich, coming from the group that covered up Biden’s cognitive difficulties for years. And although even ABC said it wasn’t true, Harris has continued the lie:
REPORTER: “Trump played music for about 30 minutes straight…”
KAMALA: “He's unfit to be president of the United States.”

(5) Federal employees are worried that Trump might win.
Sen. Cotton’s not the only one who’s pissed off today; Barry haz a hissy:

Brief video of Obama giving the what for to PuddingBrain at link.
(1) from that WP article:
That seems wrong – some of the posts at Power Line show solar as falling way short of anything close to that.
(3) Gotta love politicians like Senator Cotton – makes toiling thru election crap worth the effort…Ditto on the ‘Good for Tom Cotton‘!
I would feel far more confident if Tom Cotton were the nominee instead of Donald Trump.
And I’m surprised that the WaPo is reporting on this:

I’m seeing this sort of Oh-by-the-way-things-aren’t-as-simple-as-you’ve-been-told all over the place
The MSM seems to be hedging its bets in case Trump wins.
They are worried.
The MSM will be in trouble if, we pray, Trump is elected. But Federal employees, the do-nothing Democratic sinecures, should and will be in trouble if he wins, The Federales will do eveything they can to undermine him. It is what (loyal??NO) Democrats do!
But when he underfunds their Departments, e.g. Education, what can they do? The GOP must hold the House.
Trump has been persecuted since 2016, and he is hanging tough. That is a great test for a POTUS.
Has Kamunist said 1 thing that wasn’t a lie yet?
I couldn’t figure out how Allred, who is running against Ted Cruz for Senate, is claiming he opposes boys in girls sports when his record says otherwise. Then I looked at the GLAAD ( Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) website and it was clear. He is using their definition of women . ”
From GLAAD in link below:
” Transgender girls are girls, and transgender women are women. Some transgender women play sports, and when they do , they are ‘ not men playing in women’s sports.” https://glaad.org/releases/glaad-responds-to-lgbtq-questions-and-answers-at-the-us-senate-debate-between-rep-colin-allred-and-sen-ted-cruz/
Um, apparently that didn’t go so well.
Scroll away for the details:

I should probably say I thought that Allred was just lying and sending a code by saying something like ” we are all God’s children” or something to that effect in the ad I saw. Then I saw the GLAAD article on the debate and it made “sense “. He was speaking Orwellian.
sdferr, of course leftists thought she did well. By any sensible standard, she didn’t. As usual, she did not answer questions and pivoted to “Trump, Trump, Trump.” She shouted over Baier while refusing to answer his questions.
Solar farms….
I shot a marble into the air. It fell to earth I know not where.
Big target though.
Trump landslide!
Try this string of responses, from the right. She did poorly and got visibly angry about being challenged.

It’s ironic, the only party that has actually put nonwhite people in camps is the Democrats during WWIi.
