Until now, there has been a libertarian third candidate in the race — Rick Breckenridge. He doesn’t show up in the polls I’ve seen. However, David Parker, an associate professor of political science at Montana State University, says that Breckenridge is polling at about 2 percent.
Breckenridge has said he expects 3 to 4 percent of the vote. In 2012, the Libertarian candidate won more than 6 percent off the vote, aided, some say, by mailers sent by Tester supporters hoping to divide the opposition vote.
Now, Breckenridge has dropped out the race and endorsed Rosendale. He complained about the sending of anti-Rosendale mailers sent anonymously on his behalf — a repeat of the tactic used to help Tester in 2012.

Three paraplegics who sustained cervical spinal cord injuries many years ago are now able to walk with the aid of crutches, or a walker, after being fitted with a wireless implant which activates muscles when they think about moving.
Crucially the treatment works even when it is switched off, leading scientists to suspect that their nerves have grown back.
We have the technology.

For a long time now it has been necessary for Democrats to conceal their real views from voters if they expect to get re-elected. Funny how this happens time and time again. It is failing more of the time in recent years: just ask former Democratic Senators Mark Pryor and Mary Landrieu.
Right now the person who is trying most strenuously to seem like not-a-Democrat is Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill. She’s touted an ad saying she’s not “one of those crazy Democrats.” When asked by Bret Baier at Fox News to identify a “crazy Democrat,” McCaskill named a Missouri state senator, Maria Chappelle-Nadal, who happens to be black, as the old saying goes. Chappelle-Nadal is reported to have said that Donald Trump should be assassinated. (But remember: it is Trump’s violent rhetoric that is the problem today. Rinse and repeat. Get on CNN.)

If it was important to investigate the claims because Kavanaugh was up for a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court, it remains just as important to investigate it now that he’s been confirmed. This would be true even if impeachment were not an option if the allegations were ever substantiated. That impeachment is an option makes the October silence even weirder. Why did media outlets go from hourly updates on this story to dropping it like it’s hot?
Guess it wasn’t working for them.

You will remember that at no time during Obama’s ‘phone and pen’ operations did any Democrat say, ‘No, he can’t do that’.
That’s the difference between the two ‘parties’.
Democrats are on a side.

ZMan looks at the ‘news’ media.
The media in America has never been objective or bound by a code of conduct. Into the twentieth century, everyone understood that the newspapers were owned by rich guys with an agenda. There were newspapers for the parties and for the factions within each party. What happened in the Cold War is the bias was concealed in an effort to fool the public into supporting the struggle against the Soviets. Suddenly, reporters became journalists and priests.

Dr. Turley provides a brief explanation of the origin of the 14th Amendment and its later abuse by “open borders” advocates. He enlarges the picture to include Europe, pointing to Denmark as leading the charge for welfare “chauvinism” – i.e., that benefits belong first of all to citizens, not to immigrants. [To Danes: please walk across the bridge and tell that to Sweden.]

With the help of the latest genetic techniques, Plomin has now solved the mystery and this is his book setting out the answer. It is a hugely important book — and the story is very well told. Plomin’s writing combines passion with reason (and passion for reason) so fluently that it is hard to believe this is his first book for popular consumption, after more than 800 scientific publications.

The Other McCain is not afraid to ask the obvious question.
Maybe the Media are so busy figuring out some way to pin it on Trump that they haven’t any bandwidth left over for actually reporting.
The blankness of Robert Bowers should disturb us. Evidently, any random loner — the quiet, nondescript high-school dropout with no friends or family — could log onto the Internet, find some kind of hate that appeals to him, and become a mass murderer. And in all the world of journalism, nobody except some reporters for the local newspaper will expend any effort to figure out what went wrong in this guy’s life. Why? Because they can explain it all with one word: Trump.
That’s the answer, you see. There is no need to examine Robert Bowers’ biographical background in search of an explanation, because the reasons are ready-made: Trump, and “hate” sites on the Internet.

Ah, the refugee caravan. Would it be a midterm election without a bunch of oppressed brown-skinned asylum seekers storming the border? In a way, these refugees are like cicadas, appearing with clockwork predictability anytime the powers-that-be need a good “humanitarian crisis” to tug on voters’ heartstrings. So now we have the Hondurans…marching toward the border, holding the flag of their native country, demanding political asylum because (according to them) if they were to stay in their native country, they’d be slaughtered by their beloved countrymen. But hey, let’s proudly wave the flag of that native country made up of assholes who want us dead.

Billionaire Tom Steyer accused House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of “straight up” anti-Semitism for a now-deleted tweet about Democratic mega-donors.
“In terms of interpreting what [McCarthy] said, that seems to me like a straight up anti-Semitic move. I think that is a classic attempt to separate Americans. I think that absolutely falls in the category of what I’m describing as political violence,” Steyer stated Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Sounds to me like he’s got a sensitivity problem. He needs to dial it back a bit.
