The Mississippi Delta

 

I didn't see Bill Clinton on the stage last night congratulating Hilary after her speech at the Democratic National Convention. Maybe they're saving him for a joint appearance with the Obamas? Maybe they're trying to keep their distance? 

Meanwhile, here in Atlanta yesterday, the Georgia State Election Board held yet another all-day meeting. At times heated, the meeting featured dozens of county election officials expressing concerns about many of the rule changes that have been proposed by a cabal of election deniers on the Board. After another contentious meeting earlier this month, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger issued a statement accusing the board of engaging in 11th-hour activist rule-making that would undermine voter confidence.  Meanwhile, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, also a Republican, has issued an opinion that more or less told the board to go drop dead over re-investigating the Fulton County Elections Office’s 2020 vote recount. 

Last weekend, Trump retweeted a fake, AI-generated clip of Taylor Swift endorsing him. Meanwhile, CNN reported totally unsubstantiated "rumors" that Swift and Beyoncé were going to make appearances at the Democratic National Convention to support Harris. In other words, they reported something just totally made up. As long as the nation's promoting unfounded, untrue rumors about Tay Tay and Bey, I'll add that they both have become committed Contemplative Stoics (my made-up religion), read WDW religiously, and are playing at my house. 

At my house.
