Greetings! Haley’s Comment: Well, no one’s talking the Dan Sullivans this morning after Haley Stevens’ shocking endorsement of Republican Mike Rogers yesterday...Crystal balling: My rule of thumb for the past decade has been to never underestimate Trump especially when he gets boxed in a corner.  He always seems to find a way to slither out of a jam and come out stronger, burnishing his near-invincible aura. However, for tomorrow’s midterm election, I am changing my tune. I believe that a blue wave is coming that could cripple Trump and his foul movement. If that happens, he’ll bellow “rigged elections” and then the nation and the world will hold it breath to see what happens next. I can’t predict the events that will unfold but I know it would be a mistake to ignore the how low he’ll go to retain his grip on the country. Buckle your seat belt.  Next week and beyond will be bumpy...Too crass? At an Oct. 27 Trump rally in Mississippi, a heckler shouted at the president, “Hey Bone Spurs, Release the Epstein files. Take that ballroom and shove it up your fat ass.” The crowd reacted with boos and looked hostile. Here’s the short video...Tennessee Democratic Senator Heidi Campbell put a red pencil to Melania Trump’s short note about a convoy prepared to evacuate more than 750 people from Oleshky, Ukraine, and posted the corrections on X. Most of the grammatical errors were minor. I’m no fan of Melania but this attack felt mean and unnecessary....Elon to exit? Conservative comedian Tim Dillon predicts that trillionaire Elon Musk will leave the United States if Democrats win the midterm elections. (Daily Caller)....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Greetings! So much for the supposedly "fake news" NY Times: If Mary Peltola, the Democratic candidate for the Senate in Alaska, fails to get elected, credit the NY Times. And that will undoubtedly delight the honchos of MAGA world who regularly dub the Times “fake news.”  Reporting from the outlet alleged that Peltola’s operatives recruited the unknown Democratic candidate Daniel J. Sullivan to oppose the sitting Republican Sen. Daniel S. Sullivan. The purpose, according to the Times, was to confuse voters and divert enough votes to the unknown Sullivan, thus giving Peltola an advantage in tight race with national consequences. The DOJ has already issued almost three dozen subpoenas...Panic time? Former Deputy FBI Director and right-wing podcaster Dan Bongino is advising Americans to stock up on a month’s worth of food and water in case of an Iranian cyberattack.  He gave this chilling advice on his October 26 podcast. Mediaite has more details including a clip from the podcast...Back from the grave: Just in time for Halloween, Life magazine, which was one of the country’s most popular weekly magazines 60 years ago, is being resurrected as a quarterly by model Karlie Kloss. Look for a Nov. 23 launch with each issue selling for a hair-raising $45. (NY Times)...Weekend Watch: This choice is easy for Halloween weekend: the eight-part Amazon Prime series Carrie based on the 1974 Stephen King novel. I’m still a huge fan of Brian De Palma’s 1976 original film starring Sissy Spacek as the spooky, telekinetic teenager, but this series is off to a strong start. Also see-worthy: The masterful HBO Max series The Gilded Age returns Sunday for a fourth season...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
