It moist certainly does. Sometimes far more drastic than other times as we saw this election cycle but it most certainly does.
If more people realized that we wouldn't be hearing about and people wouldn't keep believing that the 2020 election was stolen with no evidence to support that.
In most cases a political party will try and figure out where they went wrong and correct the problem to change the direction of the voters. Sometimes it's more people voting for change and a different direction for the country than it is supporting the party they vote for.
As I've said many times Republicans and democrats never decide elections. As of now about 45% of all voters consider themselves independent. They decide elections. If you can't win the people in the middle you lose every time. Democrats will always vote democrat and republicans will always vote Republican for the most part.
Where these election analysts get lost is by trying to break it down into demographics. ie..... Young voters, older voters, the hispanic vote, the educated verses uneducated votes, the black vote, etc.....
All of those demographics are part of the independent vote. They are the vast majority of the reason this nation fluctuates from party to party.
Netflix has a great 4 hour (2 part) documentary on Frank Sinatra. A little before my generation of music, but Frank had "It" in spades. The voice, the command of the room, the suave,, the legend. Well worth the watch. It really digs in to the history from his teen idol days to the Rat Pack and beyond. Two thumbs up from me.
DOJ shake-up continues with head of national security division, US attorney in Miami resigning
John Eisenberg, the head of the National Security Division at the Department of Justice, is stepping down from his post, multiple sources told Fox News on Friday.
Shortly after Fox News learned of Eisenberg's resignation, Attorney General Todd Blanche announced it on social media.
"He has served with distinction, strengthening our nation’s ability to address threats, both foreign and domestic," Blanche said. "Under his leadership, the Division advanced President Trump’s mission to make America safe by prosecuting terrorists and working with our law enforcement partners to disrupt planned attacks on the American people."
This was Eisenberg's second stint serving under President Donald Trump. In Trump's first term, Eisenberg was an assistant and deputy counsel to the president, as well as a legal advisor to the National Security Council, which advises presidents on foreign policy matters.
Less than an hour before Eisenberg's departure was made public, Blanche announced the resignation of Jason Reding Quiñones, the U.S. Attorney for Florida's Southern District.
Quiñones' office was perhaps most known for its indictment of Raúl Castro, the former president of Cuba who took over after his brother Fidel Castro's nearly 50-year reign.
"We are grateful for Jason’s leadership in combatting violent crime, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and transnational crime," Blanche said. "Jason has served the Department multiple times over his distinguished career, and we thank him for his service to this country."
These two departures come just a day after Harmeet Dhillon, who headed up the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, announced she'd be leaving as well.
The Cavs appear very old on the court with James Harden leading the offense . Other teams are running and we are walking . In my opinion this Harden contract has officially ended our chances . we need to play the younger guys and speed things up versus slowing them down .
Democratic Representative Haley Stevens of Michigan withdrew her endorsement of her party’s Senate nominee, Abdul El-Sayed, and endorsed Republican Mike Rogers on November 1, 2026, explicitly citing that El-Sayed had publicly uninvited her from campaigning with him.
During a joint news conference with Rogers on November 1, 2026, Stevens stated that El-Sayed made it clear she "was not welcome in his campaign". Her decision followed a public speech by El-Sayed on October 31 where he openly stated he no longer wanted her to join him at a planned unity event.

I'm so glad this woman saw the overall good in other party?
An act of vindictiveness isn't seeing the good in the other party. Those are two totally different things.
I would like to remind you that it wasn't until two days after she openly admitted she was endorsing Rogers because El-Sayed didn't want her at her rally she felt the need to try and walk that back by saying this..............
On November 3, 2026, Stevens defended her crossing of party lines as a "decision of conscience," asserting that while she disagrees with Rogers on many core issues like abortion and labor, she concluded El-Sayed was "not fit to serve".
But she thought he was "fit to serve" before that? This one is pretty obvious.
Jfanent , I was only able to watch into the early part of the 3rd quarter .. Up to that point I felt sorry for then kid .. Running for his life.. Non consistent play calling . Dont care much for Arthur Smith..
One got all tangled up in a spider web and could not fly. I caught him and took an old soft toothbrush and cleaned him up. I could tell he was stressed out. I put him in an overturned basket for an hour with some water.
I held him in my hand gently and went out on my deck and opened my hand. At first he just sat there. And after a minute or two took off. When they migrate in the winter they return in April to exactly where they spend summer and nest. They come back to my yard. It is so cool because they recognize you and it is very obvious.
I hunted very early when I was a teen. I knew quickly I didn't like taking a life. Hell all the fish I have caught in my life I probably didn't eat a dozen.
My backyard is a mature hardwood and pine forest. It is all natural. I have a bird bath on the deck. With the "Merlin" app I have identified 38 species of birds. They are like my outdoor pets.
I respect life and pay close attention to the world around me way more than the Internet.
True but it's not like Gabriel is some great veteran QB. We can afford to let him go I think.
I don't get to see practices and stuff, but if it were up to me I'd like to see both 2nd year QBs in Monken's system before sending them elsewhere. Who's to say they wouldn't also play better under a different coach/system?
... this is assuming no team wants to do a AJ McCarron type trade (minus faulty fax machines).
To me Dillon is too short to be a serious option at QB and he is a bit of a whiney brat who doesn't inspire his team mates. Sanders has a better arm and he has great charisma so the guys will play harder for him. I don't think either of them are great QBs but I think Sanders has far more potential than the runt Dillon. JMHO.
I never much liked the "too short" argument regarding Gabriel and similar QBs. Obviously, taller is better but there is no such thing as a minimum height requirement.
For me, I still haven't quite changed my mindset from thinking this was going to be a "throwaway season", so I was hoping to see if Monken could awaken something in our younger QBs. Now that Watson is playing competently and we are stacking wins and looking like we are going to remain competitive, it's looking more and more likely we won't have the usual lost season where we end up starting 3-4 different QBs.
I don't like short QB's period. They can't see over the offensive line and end up making blind throws into zones where they just have to trust the WR's to BE THERE. I just hate that. Also, shorter QBs have to change the angle that they throw to arc the ball up and over the offensive line vs throwing it on a rope in a straight direction. This means their balls travel through the air slower and are more likely to be intercepted on short to medium passes but tend to have greater touch on longer passes when they drop into the bucket if they have the arm strength to throw it that far. Dillon doesn't really have the arm talent for those throws.
I would say the minimum height a QB should be is 6'2'' but I would prefer they be at least 6'5" so they can see the field better and so they can throw faster straight throws. NFL teams agree with this as they usually look for taller QBs for this reason. Trevor Lawrence (6'6"), Justin Herbert (6'6"), Josh Allen (6'5"), Daniel Jones (6'5"), Joe Burrow (6'4"), Drake Maye (6'4"), Matthew Stafford (6'3"), etc. You get the idea. Obviously there are short QBs that get it done but they are the exception to the rule and not the norm. Dillon is not the exception to the rule imho but he is a good kid for the most part and I don't mind him being a Brown as a back up QB.
