Preseason football games have started.

For all those whose who don’t think polls months before elections are irrelevant enough.

On Browns pregame show interview – DeShaun Watson, whose six game suspension is being challenged by the NFL – the league wants more – “I want to say that I’m truly sorry to all of the women that I have impacted in this situation.”

Liz Cheney likely to lose her primary next week. Now, Lisa Murkowski did win as write-in in Alaska. But for future could Liz just run for Congress in 2024 somewhere less extreme than Wyoming? Dr. Oz illustrating you don’t have to live in a state to run for office.

You know you live in the US when your company is acquired and as part of onboarding for new company you have to complete “active shooter preparedness training.” (And pass a test.)

I wish this was a joke.
