Polls show the Democrats way ahead in every state, but that may be false news. Paid polling is a form of advertising, I find. The press takes the Republicans as losers because polls claim they are behind. In the one polls I looked into, I notice that a sizable majority of those polled say they voted Harris in the last election; if you corrected for that, the Republicans James and Rodgers would be ahead, I think. I trust/ hope that all polls aren't that crooked.

With Democrats looking to sweep in November, talk moves to prosecuting Trump's family and supporters like Musk: "Under Kamala Harris, he might be in jail right now, right?" Swisher said on The Bulwark. "because there are a lot of questions around different companies of his." "it would be at the top of the list" when it comes to investigations.

Kara Swisher warned Elon Musk could face renewed investigations if Democrats regain Congress in the midterms. Musk responded to her remarks on X.

When I started writing this, I was pretty down on the merits of the modern, mid-east cities under attack from Iran, but the more I wrote, the more positive I've become.

Dubai is a gorgeous, clean, modern city in the Emirates state of Abu Dhabi. As such it is Abu Dhabi’ as it were, Abu Dhabi’s gateway into being a modern Islamic Republic. All religions …

There are a couple of Oakland wetlands that could really use a beaver dam to reduce flood-damage. And I think park visitors would appreciate seeing them. The DNR was willing to help by providing the beavers.

A family of beavers completed a $1.2 million wetland restoration while officials remained delayed by permits. 🦫🌿

Officials in the Czech Republic spent seven years planning to block an old drainage channel and restore a wetland near a former military site. While permits and land negotiations delayed construction, beavers built several dams in nearly the same locations, retained water, recreated habitat naturally, and reportedly saved taxpayers around $1.2 million in projected costs.

West Texas oil is now at $80/bbl, higher than the $70 or so before the war, lower than the $100/bbl at the peak. Not that bad. Saudi Arabia is exporting via a pipeline to the Red Sea. Oman has a pipeline past the straight of Hormuz, and we're now oil self-sufficient, selling some excess abroad. China is using less too, in part because of a purchasing recession: they have cars, more than half ICE, but hardly drive, it seems.

August 2, Bill Hickcock was shot in the back on this date by someone who wanted to become famous. What he made famous was Hickcock's "dead-man's hand," the poker hand Hickcock held when he was shot. People kill often, it seems, for fame, and it's easier to kill than become great yourself.

For what it's worth, in the vote for judges, I voted for Lisa Marie Neilson and Elisabeth Dery. They seemed the most experienced and least crazy. I don't like social activism in judge candidates. I also note that all the candidates are women as has been common. Are there no competent males in the legal world?

El-Sayed is leading Haley Stevens by 7% in the polls, and has for months. I don't think the debate helped Stevens either. Democrats like young Socialists, the rest of Michigan, probably not.

While we can't stop the Canadian fires that seem to come every summer, Tesla cars apparently, models S, X, and Y, feature hospital-grade HEPA filters and "Bioweapon Defense Mode" significantly outperforming the cotton and fiber filters on most regular cars.
