Every so often I like to watch this clip of Jacob Bronowski from "Ascent of Man" as a reminder that it's up to the human race to make the world a place worth living for the human race. "We have to touch people", he says. youtube.com/watch?v=ltjI3BXK…

I have greatly enjoyed watching America feel the same things I have felt about Vivek Ramaswamy since the fall of 2003

"He was never convicted" because he jumped bail and fled the state, leading to the judge issuing an arrest warrant against him. The judge issued another arrest warrant years later, and the county kept looking for him.
He and Acton's mother stayed in Pennsylvania until he died, all while Donna Arthur racked up her own list of criminal charges.

Amy Acton’s stepfather never stood trial and never faced a conviction after Amy Acton accused him of rape. @amyactonoh
He was accused. He was never convicted.
We have seen over and over again how anyone can accuse someone of rape.
They did it to Brett Kavanaugh.
They did it to President Trump.
Liberal women love accusing men of rape.
I think we have all learned this by now.
Amy Acton’s mother is warning America about how destructive her daughter is.
Ohio voters should listen.
Amy Acton locked Ohio down with lies about the China Virus.
She didn’t think twice about ruining millions of Ohio residents’ lives and businesses when she locked Ohio down as Ohio’s Health Director.
Do you really think she has a leg to stand on when it comes to her credibility?
Amy Acton is a drunk and a liar.

Court records and 1978 reports show Cledith Arthur was charged with raping 12-year-old Amy Acton (then Stearns), pleaded not guilty, and fled Ohio on bond before trial. Warrants issued; he died a fugitive in 2004 without conviction.

Maybe the most disgusting political ad in living memory.
And then this statement by the campaign embracing the message - just completely morally bankrupt and depraved.
Hope everyone is taking a moment to be shocked!
Ramaswamy doubles down. “We don’t know what happened between Amy and her mother, who first spoke out about Amy in 2020, but we know that Amy Acton is a serial fabulist who has some serious problems with the truth,” Connie Luck, his spox, said. nytimes.com/2026/10/20/us/po…

Vivek Ramaswamy is now accusing Acton of lying about childhood trauma including sexual abuse she experienced as a 12-year-old. This will backfire, but it speaks to what a truly loathsome and repugnant person he is
.@VivekGRamaswamy campaign responds:
ALT Attributable to Connie Luck, spokesperson for the Vivek Ramaswamy campaign: “We don't know what happened between Amy and her mother, who first spoke out about Amy in 2020, but we know that Amy Acton is a serial fabulist who has some serious problems with the truth that the public needs to be aware of before deciding who to entrust as governor.

Hey @ADL who used the term recently? Anyone notable?
The term “Shylock” is rooted in a longstanding antisemitic stereotype. Regardless of intent, its use can reinforce harmful tropes about Jews and normalize language that has long been used to target the Jewish community.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The term was used (for at least the second intent in as many years) by President Trump.

Important context to point out the user of the term regardless of intent.

Our country is threatening our allies because a vile rich person wants us to. Sometimes our stupidity is made starker with its simplicity.

The allegations are false and also I'm resigning
Serving as the United States Ambassador to Greece has been the honor of a lifetime. I will forever be grateful to President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for entrusting me with the extraordinary privilege of representing the greatest country in the history of the world.
From my first day as Ambassador, I have worked tirelessly to advance President Trump’s America First agenda, strengthen our strategic alliance with Greece, and deliver meaningful victories for the American people.
During my tenure, we have helped secure historic agreements to expand American liquefied natural gas exports to Europe, advanced the Vertical Corridor to reduce Europe’s dependence on Russian energy, strengthened our defense and security partnership with a critical NATO ally, and expanded opportunities for American businesses and investment throughout the region.
I am especially proud of the role our Embassy has played in strengthening American energy dominance, advancing economic cooperation, and ensuring that the United States remains the indispensable leader in Southeast Europe.
These accomplishments are a testament to President Trump’s bold leadership, Secretary Rubio’s commitment to American diplomacy, and the extraordinary men and women who serve our country every day.
I also want to address the recent allegations against me. These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity. I have dedicated my professional life to fighting for justice, standing up for what is right, and defending the values that make America exceptional. I will not allow false accusations to define my decades of public service.
My gratitude and respect for President Trump and Secretary Rubio remain unwavering. I am proud of what we accomplished together, and I will always be a loyal supporter of President Trump and his mission to Make America Great Again.
While my time as Ambassador may be coming to an end, my commitment to President Trump, the America First movement, and the country I love will never end.
It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve the United States of America. My deepest heartfelt appreciation to the people of Greece for their hospitality, partnership, and welcoming me with open arms. God bless President Trump, God bless our incredible diplomats and service members, and God bless the United States of America.

Sure, Fox News, it's a total mystery why Talarico would allow internet conspiracy mongers to make fools of themselves and the candidate they support.
Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico's viral hospital rumor has been debunked by time-stamped security footage reviewed by The New York Times — but the bigger story may be why his campaign sat on the evidence while the conspiracy theory exploded across social media for days.
Talarico disappeared from the campaign trail for nine days in early October, fueling rampant speculation that he had secretly traveled to an Ohio behavioral health center. His campaign maintained he was home with the flu, and security camera images from his Austin home now back that up. But GOP strategists and journalists are torching the campaign's response as "mind-numbing malpractice" for not releasing the footage sooner.
With Election Day just weeks away in one of the biggest Senate races in the country, the question has shifted from where Talarico was to why his team let the narrative spiral unchecked when they had the receipts the entire time.
