Don't leave anything for later.
Later, the coffee gets cold.
Later, you lose interest.
Later, the day turns into night.
Later, people grow up.
Later, people grow old.
Later, life goes by.
Later, you regret not doing something... when you had the chance.
I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

From Canada:
Marketing isn’t all on your shoulders. More than 50% of all new free subscriptions and 25% of paid subscriptions come from within our network.
I miss the people I've outgrown.
We didn't fight, we just drifted. And I still think about them sometimes.
I think outgrowing someone doesn’t mean you stop loving them.
It just means you stopped fitting in the same version of life.
Some goodbyes don't come with closure, just distance and that's fine🙂

The Loneliness No One Talks About
No one warns you about the loneliness that comes with growing.
The silence when old friendships stop fitting, but new ones haven’t formed.
The ache of outgrowing places, conversations, even versions of yourself.
Growth is beautiful, but it can also be isolating.
Keep growing anyway. You’ll find your kindred spirits.
Final Presidential Predictions.....
I almost always prefer to drop my final predictions before the last minute as I think it's cheating to wait for election eve.
Avert your gaze if you don't want to read a sub-optimal take....
The nonbattlegrounds....
Alabama--Trump by 29 (+4 from 2020)
Alaska--Trump by 9 (-1 from 2020)
Here's my question: What are these predictions based on?
When I make my predictions (which hasn't happened yet), they'll be based on four factors: 1) Fundamentals/previous election results (50%), polls (30%), fundraising (10%), and ground game (10%). How would you rate the importance of those factors, and are you taking into account any others besides those?
I don't have it parsed out as deliberately as you but fundamentals/previous election results are definitely at the top of the list. Polls are of declining significance because I think they're broken and fail to pick up on electoral dynamism. Obviously, demographic make-up looms large, which is why I think Harris has a decent chance at Georgia if she can hold on to most of the 2020 black vote. The other element I include that most scoff at is anecdotes. I watch a lot of man-on-the-street coverag…
I don't shrug off any true opinions of anyone; I just feel they have zero predictive value(I do share your skepticism of current polling and actually believe that they are shaded this cycle towards Trump, not Harris, because of the misses in both 2016 and 2020)
