Free subscriber and inveterate lurker. Thanks for all the great articles, for standing up when others backed into the crowd, and stood on hoped-for benefit they thought befalls them by not causing a stir. As yesterday was St. Crispin's day: "We would not die in that man’s company That fears his fellowship to die with us." With prayers for what is left of our republic. Back to work.

10/26/24: Kamala Harris finally breaks down and visits a remote part of North Carolina.
With news crews following her around as they tour the place, the Vice President asks the local Mayor if there was anything they needed.
"Well," says the Mayor, "We have three very important needs.
"First, we have a medical clinic but no doctor to staff it."
Harris whips out her cellphone, dials a number, talks to somebody for two minutes, and then hangs up. "I've pulled some strings. Your doctor will arrive in a few days. Now, what was the second problem?"
"We have no way to get clean water. The hurricane has poisoned the water our people have been drinking for dozens of years. We've been flying bottled water in, and it's terribly expensive."
Once again, Harris dials a number, yells into her cellphone for a few minutes, and then hangs up. "I've opened some roads for water delivery, and we are setting up a water purification plant for your people. Now, what was that third problem?"
The Mayor looks at her and says, "We have no cellphone reception up here!"
10/26/24: Please do! Unfortunately, the name of the author is unknown (a shame).
Danno (posted elsewhere): At first I thought it was a true story.
10/19/24: It gave you that impression because she is either so stupid that she didn't notice that she had no dial tone; or so nefarious that she was intentionally lying (pretending to have conversations so she could whip up some supply miracles for the TV cameras); or, and now we come full circle, so f**king stupid that she assumed that the mayor wouldn't KNOW that there's no cell phone service.
