At least once a week Ossoff cold-calls people in Georgia: mayors, school principals, clergy, farmers and so forth. Political affiliation doesn't matter, and the people have no idea it's coming. To some degree the last set of calls dictates the next one. It is smart for several reasons. First -

So, this is the seat I use when I'm doing TV. It's high and has no back, so it works better for TV. I left it next to my desk last week. Lily has decided that she's now my officemate. She stays next to me all day and night. So I bought another of the exact same chair for TV. Because I am a cat dad.

When Trump said he was sending troops to Portland, we said no and took him to court. 100 days later, they all went home, and not a single troop was on our streets. Now, one year later, we still stand up to the federal administration every single day.

A more competitive brewery market, aftershocks of the pandemic and rising costs all played a role in the decision. But the owner is open to prospective buyers who could potentially carry the company forward.

Lord, President Xi just insulted Trump and the USA, right to Trump's face-in the White House. Xi referred, yet again, to the "Thucydides trap". This is an reference to the US being in decline and China replacing it. And Trump sits their making moo eyes like a lovestruck teenager
