Harris-walz: Swimming Upstream Against The Corporate Media

Hunter Goodman was working on a nice game when he stepped into the batters’ box in the bottom of the eighth inning. He made a career night with one more swing. Goodman’s go-ahead grand slam was the exclamation point on a 9-5 victory Friday night for the Colorado Rockies against the Chicago Cubs in front of 38,406 at Coors Field.

I'm really rooting for Wisconsin's Scott Walker in this year's election. No, not the goggle-eyed homunculus hired by Koch Industries - hat tip to Charlie Pierce! - that you're thinking of. The anti-Scott Walker Scott Walker. In other words, the good Scott Walker, who's educated, pro-union and pro-choice! From Todd Richmond of AP: Scott Walker loves unions, thinks women should have the right to an abortion and wants to expand health care coverage. If you’re confused, get in line. This Scott Walker isn’t the former Wisconsin governor whose battles with teachers and other public unions made him one of the most polarizing political figures in the battleground state’s recent history.

LAKEWOOD — Two programs with something to prove met on Friday at Jeffco Stadium in a dramatic, see-saw game that came down to the final seconds. Chatfield, which seeks to continue to reestablish itself as a Class 5A power following a semifinal appearance last year, won 23-16 over Eaglecrest, which is looking for a return to perennial playoff contention under first-year head coach Jesse German. Both defenses played outstanding, but the difference was Cash Williams’ TD sneak from one-yard out in which the sophomore QB leapt over the line with 19 seconds left to lift the Chargers to victory.

Representative Glenn Grothman (R-The nearest Brat Boil) took the floor of Congress and used his time to complain about - checks notes - the French Revolution. No, really: In fact, there have always been powerful people in history, beginning with the radical leftists in the mid 1800s, who felt the family was restricting and felt it's something that we should break away, destroy.

Former President Donald Trump's mental decline was on full display at last night's Tuscon, Arizona, rally when, among other things, he thought he was in Pennsylvania. "So Pennsylvania, remember this when you have to go to vote," Trump told the crowd at the small venue. Trump again veered off-topic to peddle his outrageous pet hoax, and that's remarkable since the former President became a laughingstock over his "They're eating the dogs!" baseless claims at the debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. "A recording of 911 calls show that residents are reporting that the migrants are walking off with the town's geese," Trump said on Thursday night.
