THE MIDTERM POLITICAL ADS WRITE THEMSELVES:

OPEN THREAD: Party on.

THE MISSING MEN: “I realized that there is something like a touch of the tragic about many of the lives of the young men on my street in a small town in southwestern Ohio. It’s a homey town in a fast-developing and affluent county, not far from Cincinnati, with a good school district, close to opportunity in many ways. But there’s something quietly amiss, something about the men. I think of them as good men—often sensitive, often kind. But it’s like the train left and they are still here waiting.”

I THINK THEY’RE DRAWING FROM A POISONED POOL: Columbia’s new prez called Congress hearings on antisemitism ‘Capitol Hill nonsense.’

Also a shallow pool: “Claire Shipman, a former CNN White House correspondent married to former Obama Administration press secretary Jay Carney, served as co-chair of the University’s board of trustees before she was appointed Friday night to replace interim school president Katrina Armstrong.”

ANOTHER PIC BY THE INSTAWIFE, WHO WAS ON A REAL NEWSGATHERING BINGE TODAY:

This was the Knox County convention, and former state rep. Martin Daniel was elected county chair. I think that is an excellent choice, and that he’s got the right ideas.

AFFLUENT WHITE FEMALE LIBERALS ARE AWFL: Woman whose MAGA hat meltdown, subway wipeout went viral is an ‘extremely liberal’ luxury-brand specialist. “Testanero has gone off the deep end when it comes to politics, a former colleague claimed. ‘She and I stopped being friends a while ago, as she became extremely liberal and very agitated,’ the one-time coworker told The Post.”

Mentally disturbed women who think they can do anything with impunity are a problem.

I TWEETED THIS EARLIER, BUT THE INSTAWIFE TOOK THE PICS. Pro-Elon/Pro-Tesla/Pro-JD Vance demonstrators at Knoxville’s Tesla dealership.

UPDATE: Compare and contrast. It’s nice to live in a civilized city.

HMM: Heart problems tied to brain shrinkage in new study. “Heart disease might contribute to the sort of brain shrinkage seen in dementia, a new study says. People with early signs of heart problems are more likely to have brain changes associated with dementia, researchers reported Wednesday in the journal Neurology.”

I’M IN THE WRONG BUSINESS. I COULD HAVE GOTTEN RICH JUST SENDING RANDOM INVOICES TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
