Have become convinced that some in blue states have truly convinced themselves that the "state of politics they find themselves in" is somehow Donald Trump's fault. Not kidding. These usually levelheaded people have somehow deluded themselves into thinking that it's not the fault of the people they keep electing but that Orange Man bad.

- The Save Act requiring voter ID in federal elections failed. The vote was along party lines 52-48 but 60 votes were needed. Even if it passes now it will not be in effect in tome for the 2026 election. Here's a list of all the Senators up for re-election in 2026 - remember all the R's voted in favor of voter ID and all the D's voted against it.

The Senate failed to pass the Save Act requiring voter ID even though it nominally passed along strict party lines 52-48. All the Yea's were Republican and all the No's were Democrats. For some reason 60-votes were needed. Not sure if this is what they intended but they are turning many people into single issue voters.

The Conservatives seem intent on living up to the idea of just "conserving" the way things currently are. Meanwhile those on the Left seem determined to change anything they can touch usually to whatever the latest fad happens to be which today seems to be Socialism. It' all very disheartening.

- Senators Hawley, Banks, and Tuberville file amendment to protect state laws banning men in women's sports. While I agree in principle I also wonder if this opens the door to state laws to open NIL loopholes to circumnavigate the Protect College Sports Act.

The Protect College Sports Act has passed cloture and may be voted on this week. What does it say about our society that this is what many average Americans are most concerned with? Perhaps this is a function of the time of year with so little sports actually on TV.

College Football Thoughts
Some college football observations while we wait to see what happens (if anything) in the Senate to the Protect College Sports Act. Maybe we actually get a regular season game first.

Many are curious what the Senate will do with either the Save Act to require voter ID or the Protect College Sports Act but I may be most curious what happens with Rand Paul's resolution to charge Anthony Fauci with Contempt of Congress. I want the to keep the pressure on that cockroach.

Yesterday turned out to be a rather quiet day in both the Iran war peace negotiations and the MLB trade deadline fronts. The big news happened much earlier in both - with the start of the war in one and the trading of Tarik Skubal in the other. Surprised someone hasn't written an article comparing the two.
