I wonder who Trump is going to accuse of trying to kill him. Considering how Trump was acting in the pictures while the bodyguards are trying to get him offstage, I also wonder if it was a setup by his campaign.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!

Is anybody surprised by actual research showing the Biden debate crisis is bogus?
What we were seeing at the debate.
Margaret and Helen have returned, with Helen holding forth in her usual style. I love that woman — and Margaret is a hoot in her own right, though she doesn’t comment in this one.
Stuff under the sink.
From Eating Well: Yogurt does wonders for chicken dishes.
Brodo Gazpacho recipe. I’ve never much cared for gazpacho, but I know a lot of people like it.
From Allrecipes: Sweet Pea Salad.
A carpenter in Virginia got tired of his tools being stolen. He put Apple AirTags inside his remaining tools — which were stolen. The AirTags led cops to what eventually turned into recovery of several million dollars’ worth of stolen equipment and several arrests.

I have had a few days of misery. It didn’t help that something I ate disagreed with me when it got up to 104F. I kept trying to go back to bed, but it kept not working — I should have just stayed on the toilet all night. It wasn’t exactly diarrhea and it wasn’t exactly anything else. I did get a lot of steps in that particular night.
That’s over, and I feel much better. And the temperature dropped sooner and farther than predicted. It went from 104F again on Tuesday down to just under 90F on Wednesday. The original forecast was for one more day of over 100.

On July 11, 2024, Mike Howell, the executive director of The Heritage Foundation’s (the group behind Project 2025) Oversight Project, said this:
”As things stand right now, there’s a zero percent chance of a free and fair election. I’m formally accusing the Biden Administration of creating the conditions that most reasonable policymakers and officials cannot in good conscience certify an election.”
Now this strikes me as a case of Biden didn’t go belly-up, so he’s being accused of everything they’re doing. Trying to set up a bloody coup.
About 2/3 of the women eligible to vote in this country have been pissed off for over a year now. We’re coming up on something like half the men as well, I’d bet.
We need to keep President Biden in office for one more term. We need to keep the Senate by a larger margin and win the House by at least a dozen. We need to remove the cap from Social Security contributions. We need to expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices, since according to the law, there is supposed to be one for every judicial district. We need to get rid of Citizens United. We need to tax the rich at a fair rate — the rates I hear quoted supposedly from different countries in Europe strike me as fair, any one of them would do nicely.

Love you guys!
