Aaron Ford says he "researched" the Electoral College and found "racist underpinnings."
His fix: a compact that hands NV 6 electoral votes to whoever runs up the score in CA and NY.
Nothing says every vote counts like overruling your own voters. kolotv.com/2026/11/12/incomi…

OK but if they mean because most Americans eat a disgusting dry tasteless bird on that day?
Then they have a point…

Give them a break guys ... the Republican Senate has worked ...
August (10 days)
September (15 days)
October (10 days)
November (6 days)
They're exhausted and needed another 3 day, long weekend. Nothing is urgent to them.
Oh, but did they at least give Trump recess appointments, like every other President gets - NOPE!
I CAN'T STAND the Republican Senate.
They hate you.
I've never seen more of a bunch of lazy, no-good-for-nothing, worthless losers in my life.
Totally useless.

The most recent volcanic eruption that had an effect on global temperature was Mt. Pinatubo in 1991.
Hunga Tonga was a sizable eruption but, it's ash plume didn't reach the stratosphere. It also didn't erupt as long enough to have the same kind of effect that Pinatubo did.
I watch for stuff like this all the time every time a volcano erupts.
Right now there are 48 volcanoes in eruption status.
Half of these volcanoes have been erupting continuously since mankind began keeping track.
A handful of these volcanoes aren't actually volcanoes they're hot spots from a mantle plume.
Hawaii, yellowstone, iceland, are examples of hot spots that have been active for tens of millions of years. The Iceland hotspot is thought to be the very same hotspot that caused the Permian Triassic Extinction 251 million years ago.
When hunga Tonga was erupting I thought for sure that it's Ash Bloom was going to reach the stratosphere becoming aerosol and then circle the Earth for a couple of years lowering the global temperature.
Then I see that part of your explanation is the amount of water vapor that resulted from this undersea volcano eruption. That's not going to lower global temperature that's just going to become water vapor in the troposphere and the lower stratosphere which is already there anyway.
You have hit upon a great point though.
Water vapor is indeed the most prevalent of all greenhouse gases. Not carbon dioxide.
Both of which are absolutely essential for life to exist on Earth.
By the way, climate change theory is bullshit.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
It is with great joy that I invite you to join me in Semper Virgo, a five-year journey of Marian devotion and spiritual formation in preparation for the 500th anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe to Saint Juan Diego, which we will celebrate on December 12, 2031.
For nearly five centuries, Our Lady of Guadalupe has shown her maternal love to all her children, leading them always to her Divine Son, their Lord and Savior. Amid the many trials and uncertainties of our time, we have particular need of her intercession, so that we may remain steadfast in the truths of our Catholic Faith and faithful in love of Christ and His Mystical Body, the Church.
Beginning on this December 12th, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, we will contemplate together the mystery of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the graces and privileges with which Almighty God adorned her as Mother of God the Son Incarnate, and her maternal mission in His work of our salvation. Through daily contemplations grounded in Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the perennial teaching of the Church, we will seek to grow in our knowledge and love of the Mother of God and of her Divine Son, following her example, in the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity.
It is my fervent prayer that these five years of preparation will be a time of true conversion of heart, of renewed devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and of ever closer union with her Divine Son, so that we may worthily celebrate this jubilee and give thanks to Almighty God for the immeasurable graces which He has bestowed upon countless souls through the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
I invite you to accompany me on this spiritual pilgrimage by receiving the daily contemplations of Semper Virgo by email. Register at SemperVirgo.org.
May the Ever-Perfect Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of God and Mother of the Church, lead us ever more faithfully to her Divine Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who alone is our salvation.

Your prayers are asked for all those attending the annual Holy Face conference here in Wichita with Bishop Strickland. We offered a Solemn High Mass yesterday and will do so this morning as well.

My wife and I went to a lake yesterday in Oklahoma City. We were sitting in a shelter resting after a long walk. This little guy walked up to us with a broken left rear leg (old and healed). No collar. Took him to a local urgent vet. No chip. He needs an amputation. What should we do with this tripod? The mileage on my vehicle speedometer was 48,222 2 when we went to the lake. I made notice of the angel numbers. We named him "Angel". He is 6 months old and 20 pounds. A Rottweiler mix. He is very docile. He is on pain and inflammation meds, flea and tick. The humane society will put him down as a tripod. Should we keep him?

He did it outside as well. Looking more like a keeper. A puppy that hasn't tried to chew on one thing.

Jim Palmer threw more innings and recorded more wins than any other American League pitcher in the 1970s.
He continued his run of excellence by becoming the first three-time Cy Young Award winner in the AL 50 years ago today. ow.ly/iqO45105zc9

Friends, please pray for the entire Kirk family, who learned they'll wait until at least June 2028 for justice, news likely made doubly painful by remarks about Charlie this week that are beneath contempt.
On the “I’ve Had It” podcast, so-called culture commentators Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan laughed at the idea of digging up Charlie’s body and “doing it again.”
Then Dave Chappelle told a sold-out Madison Square Garden that “life got better” after Charlie was murdered, and that Charlie is now “looking up, laughing so hard he can’t breathe.”
I have often defended comedians, and I understand that pushing the boundaries of what's acceptable is part of the gig. But this is different.
This is laughing at the murder of a young husband and father of two small children, who was killed with a microphone in his hand, inviting those who disagreed with him into honest, respectful dialogue. Shame on you.
There have always been people in the fever swamps who cheer when someone dies. What is new is that it now comes from the main stage and is met with applause.
How did we get here?
This is what a culture looks like when it drifts away from God. Remove God, and with him any sense of the transcendent and the sacred, our objective sense of what is true and good is left in ruins.
What remains is relativism, “my truth” and “your truth,” and finally a game of power: my team against yours. In a world like that, a man's death can become a punchline.
Charlie understood this cultural disease and spent much of his life trying to heal it. It's why he went onto hostile campuses to sit with young people, many of them unmoored and unaffiliated, and make the case for God, for truth, and for a moral order beyond themselves. He listened patiently, argued charitably, and spoke openly about Jesus Christ.
It is my hope, then, that many more will take up this vital part of Charlie's work.
The Democratic Party has screwed me. The Republican Party has screwed me.
I will not vote FOR anyone who has screwed me. Looks like I will be voting in primaries for good challengers and/or independents

Meet John Thune, the biggest failure in the GOP.

Done with this party forever. Going No Party Affiliation.
Don’t ask me for money or support or your vote.
This party can burn to the ground for all I care.
Peace out.

Thune was reelected by acclamation on Nov. 10 after running unopposed. The conference first voted 31-15 to proceed rather than delay. No public individual roll call exists for the acclamation (voice vote). Known public backers of the delay included Ron Johnson, Rick Scott, Mike Lee, Ted Budd, John Kennedy, Josh Hawley, Dave McCormick, and Jim Banks. Full list of the 15 is not released.

They screwed us again. No leadership in the Republican Party as they fuck America and Trumps agenda that we voted for. I am leaving the Republican Party also. I'm hoping @realDonaldTrump & @elonmusk will start a party that will fight for Americans. Tired of these Repub traitors

But this is the problem isn’t it?
The Republicans aren’t willing to do anything to help, just say the Democrats are doing it wrong.
In the end, life is becoming unaffordable for most Americans who are carrying the tax burden.
Gas prices are outrageous, our grocery prices are insane, I have never experienced such challenging financial times.
Our choices are limited because
Democrats and Republicans focus simply on fighting each other, not in working together to help the American people
Give some of your money to Texans to help them pay the bills, Senator Paul. It won’t do much but it’s better than saying that what she wants to do won’t work. What will work? How will you guys achieve that?
What we all intuitively know is no matter what is done or not done, our lives will get more difficult and the two parties will blame the other.
For the first time in a long time, I broke my third-party voting pattern and split my ticket in the Michigan election.
I voted for some of the mainstream candidates, simply because when I looked at the record, they are actually willing to work with other people who are not members of their party.
We are not lost because Democrats are communists or because Republicans are fascist, but because both are more interested in their party winning than life becoming affordable for Americans.
Like many lower middle-class Americans, I feel despair about the future of our country for the first time.
Both parties have armies of angry little Chihuahuas validating every move their party make, and criticizing every move the other party makes. Meanwhile, things get worse and worse for those of us who work every day, see larger chunks of our money taken away and thrown into the ever expanding, ever more useless government
It all feels like a con game that we are forced to pay for, play and lose at.
Nothing like your first act being out of the Venezuelan socialist playbook . . . This will not end well.
