I am afraid that we are going to lose the 8th District

7. You seem in such a dispirited mood, QE.

Of course it sounds like you're right to be worried about the 8th. At least I notice the Cook Report has it listed as a toss-up.

But still, sad about Franken, unable to share in the excitement over Pennsylvania?

You know, many propaganda sites specialize in dispiriting citizens. They make up sad facts to replace real ones, to make everything American and/or Democratic seem hopelessly corrupt and the decline of our nation inevitable.

This is all over the political web, including published on respected sites by infiltrators. I just mention it because your posts made me think of the mood they're trying to create.

So maybe watch out for this slow-drip poison in case that's part of what's happening? It works on our minds and in its way is just as real as Putin's poisons.

In fact, many of these verbal toxins come from the very same place. Weaponized media.

In any case, take care. We still have a long battle ahead.
