    CPS will be mandatory for masks, though, not sure about rest of Illinois.

    Agreed, but I'm talking about current events. Cases are up nationwide, Florida is just the worst of the bunch. Think of it as "Florida Lives Matter" if you that makes any sense.

    Also the vaccination passport ban is being challenged. I'd like to see how that ends.

    Somewhat shockingly, there's a Rhino and a Rhinox, but no Ultra Rhino (or any other superlative).

    This will forever remain a mystery to me. Trump took credit for the vaccine repeatedly. Why didn't his followers take it? They did everything else he asked, even storm the Capitol.

    That is what the 'Deep State' is for. So they can still hate on the government despite the fact that their party was running the government.

    Trump's inner circle is appparently worried that Trump is losing his draw. No, it's not because of the various lawsuits, investigations, and of course the murderous insurrection. It's because he lost that last election, the defeat of Trump cultists Wright in Texas.

    Trump and his advisers are trying to figure out what Wright’s defeat means for them — and how to contain any damage. Her loss Tuesday night sent shockwaves through the former president’s inner circle. Many privately concede the pressure is on them to win another special election next week in Ohio, where a Trump-backed candidate is locked in a close primary.

    Advisers worry that a second embarrassing loss would raise questions about the power of Trump’s endorsement — his most prized political commodity, which candidates from Ohio to Wyoming are scrambling to earn before next year’s midterms. More broadly, losses could undermine his standing in the Republican Party, where his popularity and influence has protected Trump’s relevance even as a former president barred from his social media megaphones.
    One loss does not a pattern make, but they're right to be concerned. The Republican Party has become the Party of Trump. Their 2020 platform says so. If Trump can't bring in a candidate (this was a GOP vs Party of Trump runoff) what happens in the future? Also, what kind of meltdown is Trump having behind the scenes? He hasn't tweeted in...oh. Right. Forgot.

    Some in the former president’s orbit worry that he’s been too prolific in endorsing candidates running in contested primaries, potentially diminishing their overall power. Trump — who as president frequently bragged about his near-perfect record in endorsing in Republican primaries — rarely endorsed during 2020 nomination contests, and he occasionally got burned when he did, lashing out at those who urged him to back a losing candidate in a North Carolina primary. This time, Trump is getting involved early in an array of primaries, including those for Alabama and North Carolina Senate.

    Trump advisers say they first became alarmed about their prospects in Texas around a week ago, when they quietly commissioned a survey through the former president’s leadership political action committee showing Republican Jake Ellzey with a 15-point lead over Wright. The Trump team mobilized, with a pair of Trump-aligned groups, Make America Great Again Action and Citizens United Political Victory Fund, purchasing last-minute airtime. Other Trump allies sent word through the former president’s network that Wright could be in trouble.

    But allies of Wright — the widow of the late Rep. Ron Wright, whose death in February from complications related to Covid-19 left his seat vacant — pushed back on that idea and reassured the former president’s team that she was in solid shape, pointing to another survey showing her ahead.

    Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, an Ellzey backer who served as energy secretary in the Trump cabinet, attacked the Club for Growth on Wednesday, saying it had “fed” the former president “a bill of goods” by encouraging him to get behind Wright.

    Some Republicans, however, pin partial blame for Wright’s loss on Trump. While the former president sent out statements reiterating his support for Wright and hosted a late tele-rally for her, he did little to help her build her campaign war chest — something he could have done using his vast small donor network. Recently released finance reports showed Ellzey significantly outraising Wright.

    “This result shows Trump must be all-in in endorsements. He didn’t raise money or show up in district,” said Texas-based Republican strategist Matt Mackowiak, who also faulted Wright for waging a flawed campaign.
    Trump can't both endorse everyone, and also only pick winners. But it is encouraging to see the former Republican Party, now the Party of Trump, starting to wonder if they made a mistake. The upcoming Ohio race is also Trump cultist vs. classic Republican. Let's keep a buckeye on that one.
