Retired news journalist Dan Rather notes: Momentum appears to have moved in the direction of Biden/Harris. But with the election still months away, we need to remind ourselves that everyone who cares about the country needs to pay attention and get involved.

I would say that the momentum is shifting away from Trump, though, of course, these are equivalent statements.

My sense is that anyone who believes that that Biden has performed admirably in terms of the economy, gun control, renewable energy, banking regulation, drug prices, etc. has long since come to that realization.

By contrast, the steady drumbeat about Trump and his crimes seems to slowly eroding his support. So what if these are, in fact, deplorable in the character? They’re nonetheless human beings, and their behavior is therefore, at some level, predictable. Some of them are getting sick of the Big Lie and hearing the utter crap concerning their hero’s persecution by the Justice Department, the Deep State, whatever other hobgoblins are pestering the former president.

Maybe the protestors are less concerned about length of time in office, and more with criminal authoritarianism.

I have such respect for Pascal that I considered naming our son after him. (My wife wasn’t having it. Maybe if we lived in France?)

Pascal made important contributions to both math and physics but he’s perhaps best known for his philosophic “wager,” that it makes sense to believe in God, since if He exists, you’ll be very glad you did, and if He doesn’t, you haven’t lost anything. I counter that this is not how we accept or reject religious tenets.

“Republican Patriots” writes: Howard Stern once again reveals the contempt so many in the entertainment elite hold for everyday Americans. He claims not to hate President Trump himself, but openly declares his hatred for those who support him, calling them stupid and saying he has no respect for them. This kind of arrogant dismissal shows how out of touch these Hollywood types have become with the hardworking people who built this country.

I’ve got news: contempt for Trump supporters is hardly limited to “these Hollywood types.” The vast majority of Americans–especially at this point–are neither greedy pigs nor hateful morons. We respect human rights and rule of law.
