Best Of

Never forget that the purpose for which we live is the improvement of ourselves, so that we may go out of this world having, in our great sphere or our small one, done some little good for our fellow creatures and labored a little to diminish the sin and sorrow that are in the world.

I read up some this morning on Kamala’s Atlanta rally. It sounds energizing. I thought her pick for VP would be announced at the DNC but one article says:

• Harris is expected back in Georgia next week, and will debut her running mate on a seven-stop swing state tour, according to details confirmed by her campaign. Politico reported Harris will hold the first rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday. Harris said she as of today has not yet picked the candidate yet.

So it sounds like we will learn soon who will get the nod. I’m both nervous and looking forward to the announcement.

I was also glad to read the following comments; it shows Kamala’s campaign is on top of things.

• Dan Kanninen, the campaign's battleground states director said that although the Harris campaign has achieved an impressive fundraising haul in a short amount of time, they are not getting "comfortable.""I continue to be very clear with our partners and with our own staff. This campaign will not get comfortable. We jumped in with just 100 days ago against an opponent who has shown he's willing to do anything to win," said Kannien. "This is going to be an incredibly close race just like it was in 2020. But just like four years ago, we are going to win this thing."

Long day and I've filled this up with memes all day anyway. VP Harris really has it going on — and I just read she definitely stole the Reps/Trump trying to put the border mess on us, right back on them. Wonderful push back and I think since she has just about everyone's attention right now — the more push back on what the other side is saying and doing the better. And who better with a prosecutor's outlook on things that are VERY wrong. Give the other side their load right back in spades. Give it back to the people it belongs too.

People are paying attention — lots of it. I think for now the Reps. still don't quite know what to do. How to make her wrong, incompetent etc. It will come at some point, but I'm thinking and hoping that it will be too late to do all that much damage.

Perhaps, while scaring a bunch of us A LOT, getting something of a fairly late start out of the gate might be just what was needed for the momentum to keep the worst dirt from having a deeply serious impact.

Tomorrow's news about Atlanta and tonight should be delicious and delightful with our morning coffee.
