The online knitting community, of all things, apparently caused a New Hampshire woman to eventually reevaluate her political affiliation after 20 years.

Like her or not, an energetic, long-form interview with PBS Frontline is another signal that Megyn Kelly wants back on TV. Kelly walked away from NBC News and her failed Today show slot with multi-generational wealth, so is in a position to create her own production company rather than try to get a gig with an existing network.
The U.K. Conservative Party under Prime Minister Boris Johnson won a landslide in yesterday’s general election with 365 seats (with one constituency still undecided). The opposition, far-left Labor (or Labour Party) won 203. According to the Guido Fawkes blog, the Conservatives (a.k.a Tories) seat count is their highest since [Margaret] Thatcher, while Labour’s is their lowest since 1953.”
President Donald Trump has a tendency to throw rhetorical fuel on the fire. When his riffing at a rally, or sending out a tweet storm, he often creates needless feuds. This kind of rhetoric can obscure a substantive message about his administration’s America First accomplishments. In this way, he tends to forget that when your opponents are digging a hole, let them keep digging.
The Republicans have a lot of explaining to do. Among other issues, the Iraq War was a disaster, they failed to cut the federal budget deficit when they controlled Congress, and former House Speaker Paul Ryan didn’t even lift a finger in 2018 to keep the House in GOP hands. He also played games with funding (or non-funding) the border wall.
Depending upon where you’re coming from, you can react to the same video clip of a political confrontation in a totally opposite way. For the very same viral clip, Internet users often conclude that A schooled/owned B or B schooled/owned A. Among other things, this is a form of confirmation bias.
Since the inconclusive (to say the least) July 24 Robert Meuller testimony, the media center gravity has switched back from Russia collusion to leveling charges of racism against President Donald Trump. Evidence for Trump as a racist, according his foes, includes that he used term “very fine people” in the aftermath of the Charlottesville protest that tragically turned deadly.
The media’s assessment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s July 24 testimony about Russiagate on Capitol Hill changed considerably within 48 hours of its aftermath. News outlets and pundits hostile to President Donald Trump (are there any other kind?) initially described his out-of-touch, uniformed presentation as a disaster. It was a disaster for those beating the impeachment drum, anyway.
Brexit Party leader and European Parliament member Nigel Farage has noticed that new U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson uses similar rhetoric as U.S. President Donald Trump.
Last year, Harvard historian Niall Ferguson predicted that “Silicon Valley is never going to let 2016 happen again.” He was referring to Donald Trump’s social-media-enabled surprise victory — at least to the political establishment and pollsters — over Hillary Clinton in the presidential election. Parenthetically, a similar unexpected result has apparently just played out in the Australian national elections.
