You'll say looks good to me. If I don't know anything else I just know that sliver my opinion has been assigned to me. I accept it. By the way on a more concerning note Dan Bongino noted publicly that he's got some kind of a lump on his neck that seems to be a concern and maybe a big concern. We don't know yet. So wishing him the best on that. I will add this story just if it makes Dan feel any b…

Now of course I don't criticize any couple if they have a situation that works. It's not my issue. So if anybody has any kind of arrangement that makes them happy in their family it's great to me. But it felt just uncomfortable that she threw her husband under the bus to help her nomination. I didn't like it. I just didn't like it. Now I'm not saying it wasn't an accurate description and I'm not entirely sure that the husband has any problem with it. He was probably perfectly happy with it but I don't know. Didn't feel right. Didn't love it. But it probably worked.
So what else is going on? So up in Portland the Proud Boys rally ended with no major clashes. So there were a number of arrests and there were a number of you know people throwing stuff and the usual amount of relatively low level violence. Enough so you could characterize it as no major clashes. But here's the part I found interesting. So you knew that the Proud Boys were going to show up and you knew that there would be counter protesters. Here's the interesting part. There were a thousand people that showed up with the Proud Boys, the thousand, and there were 500 who showed up as the counter protesters.
Now if you recall I've been asking for some time why is it that the news does not report how many protesters there are at each of these events? It's conspicuously missing. The most obvious thing that you would say about any protest is how many people showed up. It is the number one determinant of how much I should care. If six people show up to a protest I probably don't care. If a thousand people show up to a protest you have my attention. All right? And it's not reported and it's characteristically not reported. And the reason I thought that was important not just in terms of news value is that you might recall that I said the following. If the rest of the country knew how many protesters there were it would allow them to send more non-protesters into the area and take care of it. If you had enough locals who were anti-protester, whate

ver that number of locals is, you could get enough of them so they would overwhelm the number of protesters. They would effectively become the police force. In other words the locals if they had enough could just cause the protesters to behave because it would be too much muscle in the general area because force is really the only thing that changes anything in this world. And here it is. A thous…
