Last week tonight dedicated its episode to RFK jr…. It’s not posted yet on YouTube but found it interesting.

Here's a funny analysis of RFK's bear story.

I make it a point never to watch YouTube videos that use ALL CAPS and exclamation points in their titles.

Another new poll from Marist. Kamala up 3% nationally.

So assuming Stein takes 1% from Harris, that means Kennedy takes 2% from Harris and 3% from Trump. So you should be happy about Kennedy instead of attacking him. ;)

I assume none of this means crap right now. We saw how radical things can change in just one week. We have four months to go and there will be at least 2-3 big things that happen to shake things up. If anything bad happens, Biden and Kamala will get the blame because of their radical left wing agenda…

RFK is a small side show at this point.

I guess. But I just don't like unqualified candidates in important elections, no matter whom they take votes from. I want good, qualified, respectable candidates only, whether they align with my issues and biases or not.

A Marquette poll has Kamala up by several points. I don't think this is an "A+" rated pollster and the sample size is small, so I'd take this one with a grain of salt.

If you are a fan of RFK, whatever you do, don’t watch John Oliver’s last episode. You will hate it. He destroys RFK.

My wife and I watched the portion of the interview he had with Rosanne Barr (sp?) on The Daily Show the other day. What a grade A looney bin. The fact that anyone would vote for him says a lot, considering we have Donald Trump running as well.

He talks about Kennedy’s dangerous theories. But then Oliver himself gives the impression that poppers must be harmless because they are sold everywhere in NYC and are no big deal?! The FDA says they are extremely dangerous and potentially fatal: https://www.fda.gov/food/alerts-advisor ... te-poppers
The FDA has observed an increase in reports of deaths and hospitalizations with issues such as severe headaches, dizziness, increase in body temperature, difficulty breathing, extreme drops in blood pressure, blood oxygen issues (methemoglobinemia) and brain death after ingestion or inhalation of nitrite “poppers.”
They may be sold everywhere, but legally they have to be marketed as nail polish remover or something similar, not to be ingested or inhaled!

How many deaths could John Oliver cause by his reckless “endorsement” of poppers?

Sure if that's what you want to take away but obviously you don't watch him enough to know when he's joking about something. Popper's are obviously not good for you.

I am going to ignore everything said in that half hour and concentrate on poppers.

The odd behavior of Polymarket and PredictIt persists. Not sure why nobody’s arbitraging this stuff.

Trump’s lead on Polymarket is all but gone: 50-49

Harris’s lead on PredictIt has widened: 57-46
