- You’ve seen the Donald Trump mugshot. But did you catch this one?

Internet – 1
Rudy – 0
- Speaking of so much winning, the Tucker/Trump interview on X(Twitter) is at 254 million views now. BUT according to this article that does NOT mean it was watched 254 million times. [6] #SocialMediaImpressions h/t to Yahoo journalist Jon Ward for sharing that article.
- Speaking of Internet winning, Babylon Bee scored twice on Hillary Clinton. Headline #1 Hilary Makes Landfall, Destroying Over 30,000 Emails [7] and #2 Weak Hurricane Hilary Performance Blamed On Russian Interference [8]
- Speaking of humor – FRASIER IS BACK! October 12th. [9]
[10] - Headline NYT – Maui Officials Blame Utility for Allowing Deadly Fire to Start In a new lawsuit, Maui County said Hawaiian Electric acted negligently by failing to disconnect power lines that were at risk of toppling in high winds. [11] So… not human caused climate change? Mmk.
- Higher Education ALERT – Bridgewater College Lowers Tuition By 62%, Highlights Value Of Higher Education [12] – Folks, that’s a really big deal.
- Bloomberg article – New York and California Each Lost $1 Trillion When Financial Firms Moved South For the first time, hard data shows the scope of the upheaval [13]
- Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin getting more attention this time from an op-ed in the WSJ by Lance Morrow [14]
After the debate, I went to sleep and dreamed that the Republicans had nominated a man who, like Mr. Trump, hadn’t been there—Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin. I’m not sure whom the Democrats chose, but as far as the dream went, I found it pleasant enough. My hopeful subconscious had skipped the primaries and cast an absentee ballot in the general election.
Which sent me to 270 To Win [15]where you can move the Electoral Map however you choose.
This was my best guess for Youngkin – Biden.
 [16] |
From Roanoke College poll in March [17]– Youngkin +15 over Biden in Virginia.
In a matchup between Biden and Youngkin, Youngkin has the edge over Biden 54% to 39%, including a significant advantage among Independents at 54% to 35%, respectively.
