Republicans have not elected a Senator in Michigan since 1994. Now, even with an unpopular President, Mike Rogers has a great shot to win. Why is that? Abdul El-Sayed is historically weak. My take for @CNN:

This is a great point by @jimgeraghty. And remember that on 10/7 Hamas went first for the kibbutzes where peace activists lived, older people who spent their days accompanying Gazans to health appointments. The jihadists do not just want some of us killed in the free West - it's all of us.
One more bitter irony: “Limoges is often called la Ville rouge, or the Red City. Mostly it’s because of the city’s long tradition of labor activism and left-wing politics, which also earned it another sobriquet, the ‘Rome of socialism.’” You see how much those left-wing politics counted when masked protesters who had torched a police car outside the town hall barged in to set the building on fire. City employees were still inside when they set the fire. When the forces of anarchy and chaos come, nobody cares about your voting record. You’re just another target.

This is why Abdul is so dangerous. He fundamentally does not see a difference between the democracy of Israel and their relationship with the United States, and Iran which has fomented so much terrorism over the years and killed so many Americans. Abdul talks about self-determination of the Palestinian people. The Palestinians elected Hamas leadership and have not allowed an election for Palestinians for TWENTY YEARS!!
The full exhange from my interview with Abdul El-Sayed on whether Israel is a U.S. ally, how Netanyahu's ouster would change his views and his message to Jewish Democrats on the fence about his candidacy in Michigan's Senate race. @MSNOWNews

No place like it.
If anyone ever asks “what is Neyland Stadium like in a big game?” Just show them this clip & walk away. The sack. Third down for what blaring. The delay of game. Spooky Rocky Top. The opposing HC looking scared shitless. Incredible view from above the stadium. A big 3rd down stop. There is no place like Neyland.

In the 1970s and 80s he would already have a rezy in New York City for that big Saturday night.

Salena zito has written the best explanation of the current political situation I have read. Her parallel between the extraordinary changes of the Gilded Age and our period of transition is brilliant and anyone interested in studying what is going on should read it nam11.safelinks.protection.o…

Think about it, this kid grew up in Franklin. Die hard Vols fan his entire life. Always dreamed of playing for the Vols. Committed to Tennessee knowing a 5 star QB was there. Stayed at Tennessee after ANOTHER 5 star QB came in. Stayed after losing the QB battle. Never faltered, complained. Just stayed the course. Got his opportunity when it came, and in just his second start won The Third Saturday In October, the biggest game of the season every year for Tennessee. Storybook stuff. And just look at him. Look at that smile. You know that smile is coming from somewhere deep down. That’s not a normal “victory” smile. Congrats, George. This is your moment. You deserve it. GBO 🙌🧡🍊

It's a testament to how few quality songwriters hail from Alabama that they tried to culturally appropriate a song whose first line literally is "rolling down a backwoods Tennessee byway." GO VOLS!

George McIntyre is a Tennessee kid who didn’t transfer when they recruited the #9 player in US on top of him. Local DeSean Bishop turned down Sun Belt $ to walk on at UT. Both get to smoke cigars in Neyland & will never pay for a drink in the state again. Think long term! #GBO

LSU fans who claim Tiger Stadium is the toughest place to play surely have some explaining to do this afternoon, with empty seats all over against a 4-1 conference foe. Could the Lane Train already be slowing down?

ESPN doing a puff piece on one of college football’s greatest ogres is inexcusable, and the fact that Buckeye fans still revere him is not a good look.

This is one broadly-adopted tactic by Democratic campaigns this cycle that is new - they just totally fabricate the "lifelong Republican" testimonial. "Unlikely Ally" is one of the most proven major literary devices, but they at least ought to find legit examples.
The "lifelong Republican" in El-Sayed's latest ad endorsed Obama and Kerry as a newspaper publisher and calls for "embracing progressive values." Oh, and he attacked @SenatorSlotkin for being moderate, saying Slotkin was hoping Kristi Noem "will invite her to a girls' night out Botox session." freebeacon.com/democrats/el-…
