Short Take Politics
Wrestling and the GOP convention
The message was supposed to be “unity.” It was the furthest thing from it, instead, it turned into a pro-wrestling rally with lies about inflation and crime and even a fabrication about storming the beaches at Normandy to fight communism. It was Fascism. The communists were on our side. Heather Cox Richardson decodes the cult.

Why don’t both candidates step aside?
President Biden still seems lucid enough to answer questions and understand facts and increasingly the Democrats want him to step aside. Meanwhile, the convicted felon spouts lies about crime, inflation, a stolen election and more, can’t actually answer questions and the MAGA party eats it up. As a Republican I am horrified. https://twitter.com/i/status/1803555145311285517
Sniper made nearly impossible shot
The sniper who took out the would-be assassin had almost no view. He could see the top of the shooters head and part of an eye. Another team took a shot and missed. We still have no accounting the the ex-President’s injuries. https://www.foxnews.com/us/sniper-killed-would-be-trump-assassin-one-million-shot-source
