    Here’s more on Oz from Trump Jr. The Trumpers are desperate and begging for money

    “I have some bad news.
    My friend and conservative outsider Dr. Mehmet Oz is LOSING against Socialist John Fetterman in the Pennsylvania Senate race…..
    Dr. Oz is losing big time, and if he doesn’t have the Grassroot support behind him, he has no shot.”

    Fetterman will beat Oz, because Oz is a horrible candidate in Pennsylvania. That said, I am pretty sure Fetterman got brain damage from his recent stroke. He is a hot mess. Shitshow actually. Toss up.

    Oz is Trumps choice Barry. No other Republicans wanted him. And George, talk about a carpetbagger. He’s the champ.
    “Dr. Mehmet Oz, who announced he’s running for a US Senate seat in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, reportedly used his in-law’s Pennsylvania address to register to vote in the state last year.
    Oz lived in New Jersey for several years, but last year he registered to vote in Pennsylvania’s Montgomery County, using his in-law’s address in Bryn Athyn to do so, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.”

    Awww…..bummer! I was looking forward to having 20K of my wife’s college debt forgiven and making the progressives of Nevada City pay for it!
    ….and now…sniffle….snort….sniffle it might not happen! ….sniff….not fair…totally not fair….sniff

    College-debt forgiveness is President Biden’s Hail Mary pass to buy votes and avoid a disastrous rout in the midterm elections. But after the votes are counted, the scheme is likely to collapse.
    If you have college loans and you’re celebrating Biden’s announcement, don’t spend the money just yet.
    Federal courts are almost certain to smack down Biden’s plan as a brazen violation of the Constitution.
    Biden has no authority — zip — to issue a blanket forgiveness of college debt without Congress.

    Oh well…..never underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up (that’s for our new female readers that psul has so assiduously been courting)!

    DeSantis Suspends Four Broward County School Board Members: ‘Another Step Towards Justice’
    “These are inexcusable actions by school board members who have shown a pattern of emboldening unacceptable behavior, including fraud and mismanagement, across the district,” DeSantis stated.
    “It is my duty to suspend people from office when there is clear evidence of incompetence, neglect of duty, misfeasance or malfeasance,” he continued. “The findings of the Statewide Grand Jury affirm the work of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas School Safety Commission. We are grateful to the members of the jury who have dedicated countless hours to this mission and we hope this suspension brings the Parkland community another step towards justice. This action is in the best interest of the residents and students of Broward County and all citizens of Florida.”

    ‘Joe Rogan Calls Psaki A Liar, And Likens Her Ex-Trump Counterpart To Michael Jordan”
    “When Jen Psaki said these vaccines are approved by the FDA, which is the gold standard, that was a lie,” Rogan said, noting that the vaccines were initially administered under an “emergency use authorization.”
    “They weren’t approved. But she was a propagandist.”
    (…)
    Rogan called the White House press secretary position a “weird job” because it requires toeing the administration line even when it may not be accurate or true. But he singled out McEnany, a Harvard-trained lawyer who held the post for Trump’s last year and frequently sparred with a hostile press, as an exception.
    “That lady was a fing assassin,” Rogan raved. “That lady had like binders, with footnotes. And anyone would say something and she’d be like, ‘That’s interesting, because actually CNN said this.’ And she would like quote it back to them and stuff it in their face.”

    My sources on the ground in Georgia tell me that with no national press focused on Georgia right now (it’s August and Dems always poll up 4 points in August) and problems with state polling….my resources say Hershel Walker wants to win. He reorganized his campaign (dumped them), brought in a impeccable campaign advisor, has hit every county in Georgia and some four times. All under the radar. He is still in the game.
    And he has a compelling story. He was raised in the rural part of Georgia where (most) many small towns still have only dirt roads. No paved roads. The biggest employer in his hometown is the prison. From the dirt roads of real poverty Georgia, he worked his ass off and graduated from high school, and made through college (with Heisman in hand) and then the NFL, and now he wants to work Ralph Warnok wants to make you pay off other people’s loans.
