Florida sees 81% increase in whooping cough infections amid vaccine rollback
Why would the Democrats do this?
Also, it's fake news and the numbers are fake.
Coughing is the natural way to get rid of these whooping demons.
No need to wear a mask unless you are kidnapping minorities saving freedom.
/s, of course.

Xbox users call out Activision and Microsoft for "vomit inducing" full-screen Modern Warfare 3 ad
Normally, I think gamers overreact a bit when it comes to ads on Xbox... but this time, this full screen ad when you boot up the system should not be allowed.
Wonder what genius exec had that brilliant idea. Stupid.

Photo of JD Vance Wearing Soviet T-Shirt Goes Viral
I mean, it's not a good look given what he's trying to become... but isn't he just dressing up as a wrestler whose story has a Soviet background?
This looks like a costume party and he and his friends are dressing up as wrestlers. It's like someone dressing up as The Iron Sheik.
There are worse things to go after him.

Office mandates don’t help companies make more money, study finds
Companies likely lose money with more workers in the office. More electricity, more water, more supplies. More unhappy employees, more tired employees, more good employees looking elsewhere for WFH jobs.

Cognitive Decline? Trump Goes on Weird Tangent Explaining Water
Doesn't matter.
Election is less than a week away. Unless he has a serious episode where he doesn't know who he is or where he is and then punches some intern in the face... on live TV... none of this other crap will matter. Even then, it might not matter.
Vote!

Trump announced Alcatraz reopening hours after ‘Escape from Alcatraz’ aired on PBS
He wasn't watching PBS... so someone else told him to do it after watching it. Probably same person trying to find more reasons to defund PBS.

'There will be a civil war': Trump fans rage after Georgia judge orders trial to proceed

MAGAs are being swindled and don't know it.
If you tell them they are being swindled, with proof, they won't believe it and take it out on you instead for suggesting it.
They'd rather be ignorant than be proven wrong. This is also why phone/computer scammers keep going after the same people. The victims never want to believe they were duped until it's too late.

I'm so glad that the prices were revealed right before the tariff announcement.

Majority of Americans continue to favor moving away from Electoral College
I get that the Electoral College was originally designed to give smaller states an equal say. But, when Los Angeles county has more population than like 10 states combined, things are getting ridiculous.
California has like 67 times the population of Wyoming... yet they each have two senators. And that keeps increasing.
Our government is not a good representation of the populace.
