First:

McMullin surge threatens to squeeze Trump’s already narrow path to victory

Short form: Independent Presidential candidate Evan McMullin is well ahead of Clinton and essentially neck-and-neck with Trump… here in Utah. Chances are currently *really* good that Utah will go “independent” this year. McMullin doesn’t actually expect to become President this time, but part of his strategy is to win enough electoral votes –  in Utah, perhaps Idaho, Arizona, Idaho – so that *neither* Trump nor Clinton garner enough electoral votes to automatically become President. In that case, the decision will go into the hands of the House of Representatives. And perhaps they will produce a better President than either of the two freakish losers who are our current choices.

Second:

Fans watching fewer NFL games cite protests as primary reason

NFL ratings are down about 10% from last year. Something like 40% of those polled who said they were watching less NFL said their reason for watching less was annoyance at the constant anti-America protests by privileged snowflake millionaires like Kaepernick. At some point the NFL might start looking at the protests as a money-losing proposition.

Third:

Danish nationalist charged with racism for ‘refugee spray’

Apparently Denmark is one of those lands where simply expressing unpopular opinions can get you arrested, fined and jailed. In this case, for handing out cans of “refugee spray” that are supposed to help Danes feel safe against “refugees.” Seems to me that in a rational world, the guy who handed these out would only get in trouble for the false advertising… the cans are simply relabeled hair spray. To be effective, you’d think the cans would have to be pepper spray.
