Summary
First, they document the latest developments in the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah and remind the media Hezbollah was firing a lot of rockets into Israel long before the pager explosions last week. They also highlight a Wall Street Journal story saying there probably won't be an Israel-Hamas ceasefire during Biden's presidency and that Biden's team is finally coming to realize what we knew all along - Hamas doesn't want a deal.
Next, they react to Vice President Harris accepting an invitation to a CNN presidential debate on October 23. So far, Trump is declining the offer. But after two months of campaign fluff and avoiding press conferences and most interviews, why is Harris so intent on another debate?
Meanwhile, Greg reported back in 2020 that the State of Michigan sent an absentee voter application to his childhood address, meaning he was (and maybe still is) on Michigan's voter rolls more than 20 years after moving out of the state. Now there's another story of Michigan voter roll insanity that's even worse.
Finally, they shake their heads as Minnesota Gov. Tim "Mind Your Own Damn Business" Walz now thinks you need to confront people in the grocery store about this election and tells those who just want to stay away from politics that they don't have that option.
