Whenever he said something then, ME! I think of Grover in “The monster at the end of this book”.
The last two pages of the monster at the end of this book. It says “well look at that! This is the end of the book, and the only one here is… ME! I, lovable, furry old Grover in the monster at the end of this book. And you were so scared! I told you and told you there was nothing to be afraid of. the end.

When one ballot scans incorrectly (using rushed IT Portal without testing, with bugs) the entire batch of thousands is returned to the state for “correction” meaning thousands do not receive their ballot. Begins today, 9/1. An attack on our elections right before our eyes. #Election #Whistleblower

My grandmother had a saying: "And Magda Goebbels made a great strudel." For years I didn't understand it, until my mother explained that some glossy magazine once ran a puff piece on Magda Goebbels - Hitler's propaganda queen - complete with her strudel recipe. My grandmother, who despised the Nazis with every ounce of her soul, used it as shorthand for the way media will sanitize evil by focusing on something trivial, domestic, or charming while ignoring the atrocities staring us in the face.

A person who spoke with Graham shortly afterward said the senator complained that he was feeling unwell.
When the person urged him to seek medical attention immediately, Graham said he would do so Sunday morning after his scheduled appearance on NBC's
"Meet the Press."
• Graham then joked: "I can't die now. I still need to do the Russia sanctions, get Iran sorted out and do Israeli-Saudi normalization."
• He passed away several hours later.
