It's tough campaigning, kissing hands and shaking babies. - Pat Paulsen

Upfront disclaimer ...

I have not watched what is called news in more than three years.

Since Elon Musk assumed control of Twitter, rebranded X, unleashing free speech, I peruse the spectrum of personalities and posts to analyze through common sense filters and draw pragmatic conclusions. [The purpose of the First Amendment.]

That Elon, this week, told some in corporate America attempting to blackmail him to, "Go f-ck yourself," escalated, eXponentially, his credibility and commitment to the Constitution. 

In fact, his courageous, determined, fearless, principled, trailbreaking ways calls to mind characteristics, traits, and principles of the Founding Fathers. 

To that point, the first AI conversation of interest to me is Thomas Jefferson and Elon Musk; seemingly sharing rare depths of superior intellect and leadership qualities. 

Anyway, there's truth to be realized on X.  

I care about politics only to the extent of wanting representatives committed to America, that there is a capable force of rough men standing watch 24/7 ready to close enemy health records, and I can be left alone to go about our way of life knowing our country safe, respected, and yes feared. 

I have no candidate in mind.

As to red and blue ...

Perhaps you recall from grade school they're two of three primary colors and when mixed make for violet - ranging from beautiful blue to red violets. [Violet's complement being the primary yellow.]

In politics, red and blue makes mud. And green. They're all yellow. 

So, to last evening ...

We opened a new two pounds can of extra large roasted and salted peanuts. 

Think about that symbolism; it was serendipitous. 

But nuts, vice popcorn, proved the right choice. 

First, at closing, the overwhelming takeaway (for me): Your teenage daughter is safe with Ron DeSantis. And never leave Gavin Newsom alone with your teenage daughter; literally and figuratively. 

Hannity's slides, of numbers, comparing California and Florida pummeled Newsom. 

Silence would have sufficed to dispatch Newsom. 

But Desantis's precise, true complementary repartee and Newsom's dumb retorts destroyed him.

Newsom, for 90 minutes, did not answer a question. 

He couldn't.

And DeSantis did a respectable job reminding the audience why Newsom couldn't answer a question. 

Creep factor.

Always heed gut and hackles.  

Newsom in spades. 

President? 

Never would be too soon. 

DeSantis, a Navy man, seems okay.

President?

He'd rise to the occasion; that's what military folk do.

Trump?

He's sort of in the middle.

But polling so far in front of the pack, Republican and Democrat, at this point reelection seems certain.

By knock out, DeSantis.

For Newsom, debacle; he's out. 

Hannity placed, as moderator should.  

Finally, 

On set, Florida and California flags. Unless I missed it, stars and stripes absent. Those colors, for which many have sacrificed and died, the first sign of united. Fix it!
