When buying me gifts, remember to type the word \u201cKAGRO\u201d, because\u2026 it\u2019s worth a try. A much, much larger part of that world mourns the loss of Dolly Parton. And for good reason, Dolly had a lot going for her. Mourners go across the political spectrum, but it\u2019s pretty certain that she didn\u2019t. Donald ordered flags at half-staff, as every woman in his orbit for the last 40 years has paid to look like Parton, and as Dolly would tell you, it costs a lot of money to look that cheap. And now Tim Curry too! Many voters feel that there\u2019s a \u201cuni-party\u201d and that their vote does not matter. Supporters of Hakeem Jeffries say, \u201cYou ignorant morons don\u2019t understand the realities of politics and can vote Republican if  you just want to be dummies.\u201d Maybe we are under the reign of Great Britain after all. James Talarico is ahead of Ken Paxton, according to polls.  According to money, too. Jar Head Salsa tycoon\/Jan 6 traitor\/patriot Tom Smith finds himself nominated for his Michigan House district. Polling shows Dan Sullivan leading Dan Sullivan in Alaska. The Donald K. Trump midterm political convention will be about  Trump, as is  Lake Ontario, as is the John F. Kennedy Center. Natalie Harp is all about Trump. Pete Hegseth is  eliminating every General not qualified to be a Fox weekend host.
