I'm a stakeholder!!!

In Ft Lauderdale?

Be honest: it's a column by a freelance Substack writer:

AJ Jaff is a senior strategic security strategist and analyst with 20 years of experience across corporate security, military, and geopolitical intelligence. He covers defense, intelligence, and conflict analysis. He is the author of Signal, Not Noise!

Follow him @aj_geo_analysis on X.

J-Post link, if anyone actually wants to see his full piece

Another bio says he was in the Canadian military.

Must be their latest genius plan to try to stop people from moving out of California.

Did you miss the part where he had to go to the CFL?

Irwin Allen??

---

Yes, Irwin Allen.

All those disaster movies and movies of the week were recycled on UHF when I was a kid. They prepared me for so much...earthquakes, mudslides, avalanches, cave-ins, you name it.

Probably why I've never panicked in a flood.

Irwin Allen wasn't done in the 70's. "When Time Ran Out" was the volcano movie from 1980. Paul Newman, William Holden, Jaqueline Bisset, Ernest Borgnine, Burgess Meredith, and others.

I do not need to hear trashy rap during every break. This is the main reason I attend far fewer sporting events.

---

It's probably affected my interest in attending games too. Every stadium is the same loud, over-produced experience now, in every sport.

I don't want to feel like I'm trapped inside a TV commercial for 4 hours.

Cornyn says that he is lazy and doesn't raise money, yet he lost by 27 points.

Dumb fricker is dunking on himself.

---

Yeah, why go around telling everyone you got your arse kicked by a lazy candidate who can't raise money?

He also doesn't mention how much money he spent losing, including National Republican Senatorial Committee funds.

I do the daily GeoGuesser game.. 5 random spots in the world and 3 minutes to try to identify where you are. Usually I can get the country correct at least but every now and then it's dome random arse place without a landmark in sight.

---

I used to play that a lot before they tried making you sign up and/or pay.

Before the novelty wore off, there were some where I'd have to keep going up and down some unmarked farm road trying to spot a sign so I could at least get a hint of the language.

Political strategist and former Harris County, TX, Republican Party precinct chair Rebecca Trahan sees this as a problem, she tells RedState.

---

Never heard of her, never saw her active in any joint campaign efforts for the party in Harris County.

quote:

---

In the past,] Texas has had overwhelmingly more registered Republicans, but now Democrats hold the majority. [There are] so many frustrated, abandoned, and disaffected Republican voters who have been driven to the Independent Party, who right now are leaning towards Talarico, but could still vote for Paxton. The Independent Party today comprises 16.24 percent of Texas voters.....

---

This is fiction.

Texas does not have party registration. We have open primaries, and this year more Democrats voted in the US Senate primary election than Republicans. About 2.3 million to 2.1 million.

There is no such thing as "The Independent Party," and certainly no way to measure that figure of 16.24 percent. If she's referring to registered voters with no partisan primary history, that number would be much, much higher.
