Even Trump’s Endorsement Can’t Ruin This Guy’s Chances in His Race for Office
It’s hard to imagine how certain politicians can lose in the 2026 midterms, even with “the kiss of death” (Trump’s endorsement).
This guy’s district in Texas is largely the panhandle, far from the more educated and sophisticated parts of the state in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin.
He’s a physician and retired admiral.
If for some horrible reason I lived in a town in that district, perhaps called Buzzardsbreath, TX, I would probably vote for him myself, even with Trump’s endorsement.
I met a guy yesterday who told me, “We live on this planet at the generosity of the forces of nature. These privileges can be withdrawn at any time, and without notice.”
Everyone living in the United States benefits from our federal, state, and local governments in many dozens of different ways, from roads, bridges, tunnels, airports, banking insurance, help for veterans, national forests, public schooling (K-12), firefighting, criminal justice, fuel pipelines, subsidies for social goods, national defense, elections, etc.
Historians point to Andrew Jackson, with his butchering of the Native Americans, to the presidents immediately before and after the U.S. Civil War, and to Warren Harding as the previous “worst presidents in our nation’s history.”
The meme here is a reminder that to call oneself a “conservative” used to mean something, other than the desire to conserve America’s racist and imperialistic heritage.
Sadly, the world must deal with the cottage industry that has arisen to generate and publish malicious bullshit about electric transportation and clean energy more generally.
Imagine what our country, and our world, would be like today if the United States had addressed Donald Trump’s attempt to overthrow the U.S. government as the act of treason it was.
I met a guy earlier today who told me that wind and solar are controversial, and that some people say that the mining and manufacturing of wind turbines requires more fossil fuels than the turbines themselves produce.
As bad as things are in the United States, they could always get worse.
As shown at left, unless your theistic views are harming others, atheists will simply leave you alone.
