More Americans Identify as Republican Than Democrat. Here’s What That Means for the Election
The development gives former President Donald Trump an important structural advantage in the November election. That compares with Democratic leads of 6 points in 2020, 7 points in 2016 and 9 points in 2012. “It’s definitely unusual,’’ Jeffrey Jones , senior editor of Gallup polling, said of the GOP advantage. Defections from Trump among some GOP voters was one reason for her lead. In combining all its surveys in a given year, Gallup has found the GOP leading in party identification only three times since 1991.

Trump Targets Pennsylvania To Reclaim Lost Ground
Trump Targets Pennsylvania To Reclaim Lost Ground Former President rallies support as election stakes rise among tight polling numbersDonald Trump kicked off his campaign push with back-to-back rallies on October 9, 2024, strategically targeting Pennsylvania—an important battleground state with deep significance for both contenders. At rallies held in Scranton and Reading, Trump aimed to sway blue-collar voters and reclaim ground he lost during the 2020 election. During his remarks, Trump took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris, aggressively critiquing her policies on energy and costs. "If Kamala Harris gets four more years, she will annihilate the Pennsylvania energy industry, plunging communities across this commonwealth..." Trump declared at his rally. During the rallies, Trump assured his supporters of his administration's ability to achieve energy independence, criticizing recent increases in energy costs under Biden and Harris’s leadership.

Estate Gardener – A Dream Job?
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be an estate gardener? Perhaps you’ve visited the Biltmore Estate, Longwood Gardens or other private estates that are now open to the public. I once worked as a groundskeeper on an estate near Princeton, New Jersey owned by J. Seward Johnson, a founder of consumer product giant Johnson & Johnson. The Lawrenceville estate was his gift to her, called “Jasna Polana” (Polish for “bright clearing”), designed to evoke the palaces of the European nobility. I recently toured Jasna Polana, to see how it has changed in the fifty years since I was last on the property.

Keep the pressure on your club, Ferguson. Celtic fans are loving it.
Yes, Barry Ferguson, I’m talking to you. And judging by recent attendances at Ibrox, the fans are starting to desert them. So, no matter what we say, or what Ferguson says, that pressure is going to be there. And, for once, it isn’t us—it’s not Celtic fans or the blogs piling on. After all, what is that lie worth if Celtic overtakes them as the most successful club in Scotland?

Daryl Morey on Paul George signing: It was definitely risky, but it was the best plan
Morey began trade talks on a Harden deal with the LA Clippers by asking for George; he was rebuffed but undeterred. Always a maximalist, Morey lives by a simple approach to team building: get as many great players as possible, CBA constraints be damned. Even Morey concedes now it was unlikely; he puts the initial odds of success at less than 50 percent. “We were taking what we thought was the best plan to keep ourselves in title contention, but it definitely was a risky plan,” Morey told The Athletic. “They don’t always work out, but we felt like all the other plans were worse.” -via New York Times / October 9, 2024

They look better and require less maintenance. Wood fences can weather and look unsightly, plus masonry walls help to block sound. Residents should have a choice of what kind of barriers are put up near their homes. Allowing a variety of materials will be better for aesthetics, and costs may be lower. Masonry walls may be sturdier, but mandating them is problematic.

Harris Plans To Expand Medicare For Home Care Benefits
During her recent appearance on The View, Harris unveiled her plan for Medicare to cover long-term care services provided at home. Current Medicare policies don’t offer coverage for long-term care, leaving many families struggling to manage high expenses associated with home health aides. Medicaid currently covers about 61% of the country's long-term care costs, primarily for patients who are at or near the federal poverty line. Harris's proposal mirrors prior Democratic attempts under the Biden administration to expand long-term services under Medicaid. Despite the challenges, this proposal marks a significant shift toward addressing at-home care needs within Medicare, altering how families may approach long-term caregiving.

VIEWPOINT: Flying — a love-hate relationship
Fast-forward many, many years, and flying has become a way of life for my family and I now. Flying is not “freedom” as the International Air Transport Association used to claim in all its press releases. The experience was so bad that instead of flying AirAsia back to Singapore, I hired a car and driver at my own expense to drive the 4-5 hours back to Singapore. Singapore Airlines on the other hand is the best in my book. Qatar comes in a close second behind Singapore Airlines.
