Fine.
Either Governor Abbott [R-TX] meant "transgendered", or not.
Probably not?
If not, what instead?
malaprop: Ludicrous misuse of a word, especially by confusion with one of similar sound.
What word has similar sound? "Dismembered"?
I don't want our children dismembered at school. But the headlines since Columbine have been about gunfire, not machete.
Governor, some may have thought your disability was from the waist down.
Perhaps not?

I'm sure that is what he meant - after all, Trump and the MAGAts have been busy claiming that schools are performing sex reassignment surgery during the school day without the parents' approval or knowledge.
Starrbucks is offering a specialty drink just for Election Day? It’s called the “fullacrapuccino.”

May God help us
note:
Webster's defines "meme" as a "captioned picture".
Fine.
The message (the caption) in #66 seems worthy enough. But
the picture?
Really?
Perhaps Trump realizes his $5K / voter offer don't fly. So,
it seems Trump is inventing creative new ways to $buy votes (with the voter's $money).

Why are Detroit gas stations selling discounted fuel in Trump’s name?
Gas stations promoted by President Trump are selling discounted fuel in Detroit as Americans grapple with rising prices linked to the Iran war. With the midterms approaching, what do voters make of Trump’s economic record?https://www.aljazeera.com/video/new...ations-selling-discounted-fuel-in-trumps-name

Just another attempt to sway the vote against Dr. Abdul El-Sayed by badmouthing Arabs.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. went to Michigan, home to the highest share of Arab Americans in the nation, and told a crowd that 500 million Arabs "don't produce science," don't win the Nobel Prize, and "don't produce literature."
It is hard to know where to begin with something so false and so ugly.
Arabs have won the Nobel Prize in chemistry, in literature, and in peace. They have won the Wolf Prize. The words algebra and algorithm come to us from Arabic. Our mathematics, our astronomy, our medicine, our very understanding of light carry the fingerprints of Arab science.
RFK, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, himself has no medical degree. He said it to attack Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a physician, a Rhodes Scholar, and a public health leader. It is part of a coordinated effort to paint Arab and Muslim Americans as suspect, as lesser, as other. We know where that road leads, and we are not going down it.
America is strongest when we honor the full dignity and the full contribution of every community. We are better than this. And we will prove it by calling this out loudly, and standing together against it.

It's mid-term election day in the United States of America.
This means the people that nominated Donald J. Trump for president 3 times, & elected him twice, are at it AGAIN !

Statistical sampling has several applications.
In manufacturing it can be used both for quality control, and statistical process control.
Organizations such as WSJ, Pew, Marist, Gallup & others sample public opinion by extrapolating conclusions from a small, but hopefully representative sample. BUT !
There are occasional public opinion polls where the sample size is enormous, a substantial portion of the entire population.
Election Day a useful example.
VOTE !
Send the bastages packing!

BLUE SURGE: DEMOCRATS WIN HOUSE AND SENATE
Democrats capitalized on voter anger over Trump and affordability, flipping seats in deep-red and battleground states.
- yea -
BUT !
The Republicans make the mess.
Then the voters leave the Republican-made mess to the Democrats to clean up.
The Democrats have an enormous amount of work to do,
and can't expect much if any help from Republicans.
Thank you, Republican Leader, for warning us in advance that Republican priority is partisanship first, citizenship second, if at all.
