As the gentle reader is aware, Wausau Mayor Doug Diny took it upon himself to go for his 15 minutes of fame by absconding with the city's ballot drop box, depriving his constituents their right to vote by using it.

Vice President Kamala Harris today will propose a major new initiative: expanding Medicare to cover the cost of long-term care at home. Via HuffPost: Such a plan could mean the option of staying at home, rather than in a nursing facility, for the millions of seniors and people with disabilities who need help with the daily tasks of life. It could also mean physical and financial relief ― and new opportunities for school or work outside the home ― for the millions of working-age Americans who today provide so much of that care on their own without much in the way of outside assistance. If the proposed legislation is enacted, such a program would represent a substantial boost in federal support for caregiving and, by any measure, one of the largest one-time increases in American history. Harris will make her announcement during an appearance on “The View,” the nation’s top-rated daytime talk show, according to campaign officials who spoke with reporters on Monday. read more

It's gotten so bad that FEMA set up a Hurricane Rumor Response page. In an interview with Fox News Sunday, House Speaker Mike Johnson said over calls to bring Congress back to fast-track emergency funding for hurricane victims, “We’ll be back in session immediately after the election." Well, Mike, Congress holds the purse strings, and 175 Republicans have voted against funding FEMA in 2021, so now would be the time. Still, even though answers to hurricane relief are easily Googleable, Maria Bartiromo shamelessly went there, saying, "How is it possible that FEMA is out of money?" Also, note that she ties in foreign aid with hurricane relief, a big talking point with the right wing. "Biden is urging Congress to come back, approve more funding for FEMA by the end of the year," she told Arkansas Rep.

This wouldn’t surprise me at all because it’s clear that many leftist men, at a very visceral level, don’t like women and use feminism as a weapon in their war.
