Right. The thing is βmediocre campaignerβ would have been objectively true abt Allred but phrasing as black man vs black woman makes it abt identity/personhood in a way that rubs ppl The wrong way.

You are not a Texan. Texans love our HEB. Charles is the current CEO of HEB, & is a model of what American business should be. He has swung into politics as a staunch defender of public schools, against Abbott's charter school push. He may not be a Democrat but, he's not comparable to Adelson.

Thatβs just not how TXβs House delegation works in practice. We have a limited number of safe Dem seats, no swing seats, no one gets promoted till seniors leave. Crockett got her seat b/c Eddie Bernice Johnson retired prior to her death. Al Green refuses to make way for Menefee in TX-18 right now!

I think it does deny it but ambiguously, not explicitly. The statement says he characterized Allredβs campaign as mediocre, but not his life & accomplishments. That said, I definitely understand reading it as weasel words and that he did say it and is trying to not lie about it.

I think there is something to be said for a soft embrace of the Trump2024 voters now that they touched the stove and burned us all. That strategy would probably require a kind of CareBears-meets-West-Wing energy & that is what Talarico is giving us.

No, because the Zumwalts are angular and are unpleasing to the eye of Glorious Leader. These will be sleek and nice, since Glorious Leader is a very aesthetic person.
This is why I'm convinced that the previous anti-stealth headlines were never about the F-22; they were always about the Zumwalt

Wait, this took me a minute. By "re-nuclearizing" we do NOT mean bringing back the Long Beach class?
Instead, we're carrying nuclear warheads on the destroyers? Presumably to compete with that stupid Russian torpedo?

I wonder what she is basing the claim on then. Could she have got a letter from Stanfordβs equivalent of CTY/TIP at that time and misunderstood it as undergrad admissions? Or did she radically misunderstand a Questbridge letter?

I feel like another under appreciated fact is that there is a reasonable chance that the current pope knows and enjoys Lehrerβs work (or at least N.I. Lobachevsky & New Math) and thus may add The Vatican Rag to the set of secular music permitted in the liturgy.
