The 2 Trump signs I've seen in our area are tiny. Have you noticed that in general? I almost missed them the first time I passed one. I haven’t noticed Trump signs really anywhere that I am regularly driving around. I usually only see them once I get like 10 miles outside the inner ring suburb limits. I think I have seen more Trump stickers/crap on cars than anything else. This reminds me that I saw a car in the Ralph's parking lot recently with a half torn off Trump bumper sticker and because I'm an awful person all I could think was  |

Did I miss something about why Israel has now decided to go after Hezbollah as well now? I know they are a terrorist organization but I don’t understand why they are diving further into wanting war throughout the Middle East right now. And yes this probably me being naive. I think they saw an opportunity with the electronics and took it. Now that those explosions have happened, they're following up with bombing the country. |

Hezbollah (while based in Lebanon) is financially supported by Iran, they are also allies with Hamas. When Israel attacked Iran last spring tensions flared up again between the two. So now Hezbollah is back in the fight that has gone back and forth for decades. This is a very stripped down version of events and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. |

Not me heading to search his name + state + recent news so I can just hit refresh. Searches though do lead me to think CNN is the one dropping the initial story. I couldn't love this more for him. |

While my sign has remained untouched (to H's surprise), others in my town have been stolen and vandalized. I hate that for them. However, I have seen more Harris signs in the area than I saw Biden signs in 2020. So it's some disgruntled MAGA cult member with too much time on their hands.

www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/election/article292712424.htmlSome highlights from the link above, before the story dropped... In the video statement released on X, formerly Twitter, Robinson also described the allegations as “salacious tabloid lies” and accused his Democratic opponent’s campaign of leaking the information that led to the forthcoming CNN story. ”Let me reassure you the things that you will see in that story, those are not the words of Mark Robinson,” he said. “You know my words, you know my character and you know that I have been completely transparent in this race and before.” The deadline for a candidate to withdraw is Thursday, since absentee ballots go out to overseas and military voters on Friday morning. If Robinson were to resign Thursday, the executive committee of the North Carolina Republican Party would select his replacement. Any votes that went to Robinson in the election would go to his replacement instead, according to state law. Some Republicans are concerned that Robinson could drag down others in his party who are also on the ballot. There are more than 10 statewide races including governor up for grabs, as well as the balance of power in the General Assembly. Republicans have a veto-proof supermajority in the state legislature and are hoping to maintain that. Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, finishing his second term, is limited to two consecutive terms and is not running for reelection. And this little tidbit I was unfamiliar with... The now-closed nonprofit run by Robinson’s wife, Yolanda Hill, is being scrutinized by the federal government and owes the state $132,000, The N&O previously reported. Robinson has called the scrutiny politically motivated.

The choice of Jill seems a bit odd? Surely it was Biden himself that was invited, no? I wonder if Biden isn't up to the trip. |
