Trump has said the Iran war is essentially over. He seems bewildered that Iran has not surrendered. Perhaps he will understand if he considers a hypothetical situation: A candidate has just lost an election but refuses to concede.

On the interception by New England, the lineman who tacked the QB Stroud put his full body weight on Stroud when he hit the ground. I thought that was a penalty.

Milton Friedman explains clearly, and in detail, why Trump is so wrong about tariffs. Although this speech is about 40 years old, it responds to ALL the current arguments for tariffs and other forms of protectionism.

Someone explain to me why college football’s penalty for pass interference is 15 yards rather than spot of the foul. It makes no sense to me.

"@tylercowen misses the broader point. Huemer’s not merely debunking specific woke claims. He teaches readers how to analyze confusing, emotional issues to reach objective truth — and how to avoid embracing new woke myths that will arise in the future."

Is it wise for Trump to nominate senators and House members for his administration who are not in safe seats?

One of the worst interview questions was just asked at the CNN Harris town hall. “What are your weaknesses?”
Harris predictably does not own up to any weakness. No one would. Anderson asks about any mistake she has made. She mentions none.

I wish Harris would answer each question in the CNN Town Hall. After each non-answer, she says Trump is very bad. Thus the strategy continues: I might not be great, but Trump is worse.

Just 2% of economists think rent control is a good thing.
But Harris wants more of it!
Economist @AllisonSchrager explains: “All it means is that people are less inclined to rent to you.”

I just started watching the Celtics Knicks game. It looks like WNBA refs are officiating. Two blocking fouls they called were clearly either charges or no calls.

The WNBA refs are at it again. Even after review, they fail to call an obvious reckless close out on a three-point shot. The commentators are mystified.

The Dispatch podcast discussed whether many voters might choose Harris because a worst-case Trump would be worse than a worst-case Harris. Or will they use a best-case or most-likely scenario? Most likely is much harder to predict.

Once again, the WNBA refs are making baffling calls. Jones pushes Smith with her arms and then backs over her. Refs call a foul—on Smith.

I am very surprised that the moderators are fact checking Vance multiple times but not once for Walz—so far. Vance finally pointed out CBS said they would not fact check.

Harris vilified Trump in the debate for negotiating with the Taliban. She supports negotiating with Hamas. Can she reconcile these two positions?

I heard a new reason to keep the electoral college. Each election, one or two states have recounts for president. With no electoral college, consider what would happen if the popular vote were very close. That would require a recount of 150 million votes!
