Morning, Loving Mother and Lysie. Ate too much yesterday, still full. LM, I can send you a plane ticket for Thanksgiving dinner here, but it will be a month and a half later than in Canada.
Good morning, I_be_tc.

As shown by this survey, diversity at many schools now runs along a spectrum from extreme to mainstream liberal views with a statistically inconsequential number of conservatives. It is a mockery to pretend that this is the result of anything other than systemic bias in academia.
sorry about your Miss Sassy’s death.. I always get knocked over with grief when I lose a precious fur baby. Hugs my friend
Good morning, lysie!
The Diet Coke makes me very happy and we know who the bacon makes happy.
Thanks for a lovely breakfast.
Still in Phase 2 in DE.
40 days to Election Day.
5 days to the first debate.
Morning, exit!
Rush said yesterday that the reason we are not seeing Biden is that he is staying in and doing debate prep.
Will it help if he can’t remember?
Will he have an earpiece on stage?

Confirmed, 70-27: Executive Calendar #588 John Charles Hinderaker to be U.S. District Judge for the District of Arizona.
5 days to the first debate.
September 30 headline:
"SLAUGHTER IN CLEVELAND"
Thanks, exit. You and me both.
What a joke.
They are really going to have to juice up the IV for this clown for the debate.
But it will only last an hour or so.
I still think Trump should demand a drug test before the debate.
Thanks Dolly. She was a sweetie.
Thanks, Loving Daughter, but they won’t let me over the border. Alas, I have no escape.
Good morning Gran. You are welcome
Doing some supply shopping for the Legion this morning.
U.S. unemployment number holds steady at 870,000, Labor Department reports
The U.S. has reclaimed about half of all jobs lost in March and April

The number of U.S. workers filing for first-time unemployment insurance last week held steady at 870,000, the Labor Department said Thursday.
The U.S. jobless number has stayed below 1 million for the past several weeks, after record highs that began after the coronavirus pandemic was declared in March, sinking the U.S. and global economies.
The new first-time jobless claims were slightly higher than the anticipated figure. However, the continuing claims number, which includes individuals receiving unemployment benefits for at least two weeks, decreased by 167,000.
The total continuing claims figure is now just over 12.5 million.
The U.S. economy has, at present, reclaimed about half of the jobs initially lost during the first weeks of the pandemic in March and April.
“This next leg of the recovery is going to be much more driven by the underlying strength of the economy rather than businesses just recalling workers,” a Moody’s Analytics economist told The Wall Street Journal.
