With the election just three weeks from today, united is not where we stand.

The real-time debt clock shows the nation roaring to 36 trillion bucks in the proverbial hole.

The 30-year mortgage interest rate sits at 7.25%.

The nation’s indifference to illegal border crossings is causing harm from coast to coast to how we live and how safe we feel.

Israel, Palestine, surrogates for Iran, Ukraine, and Russia are playing ready, fire, aim.  China is itching to join the fray and Taiwan is squared up in the scope.

The Donald apparently won’t debate Kamala.  Either his camp feels comfortable with where they are, or they didn’t like his performance six weeks ago.

Kamala is venturing into the enemy’s den.  She’ll answer (insert word salad) FOX Nightly News host Bret Baier’s questions tomorrow night.  Either her camp feels uncomfortable with polling, or they liked her performance on the tele recently.

But the most important debate is whether or not Tim Walz is or is not a hunter and was or wasn’t a gun owner.  Did you see him and a few of his friends working the field for pheasants over the weekend?

It started with him not being able to load his gun.  His hunting gear looked brand spanking new and matched his fellow hunters down to the sock color.  Hmm.

This wasn’t a photo op aimed at rural Midwestern males, was it?

He didn’t shoot anything, or anyone for that matter, which makes him way a way more qualified VP candidate than Dick Cheney.  Dick lodged a few pellets in a then-78-year-old Texas attorney Harry Whittington’s jowls on a quail hunt.

The buckshot stops here!

Dan Quayle, thankfully, never shot a gun.  He did, however, take dead aim at his foot a time or nine.

And, the best news of all is that Donald J Trump hasn’t been shot at in weeks.

He needs to give the race his best shot with three weeks to go.  And what is he doing?  He’s holding a rally in Madison Square Garden in twelve days.

For what?

Ego we assume.  Does anyone on his team think he has a chance (not a shot) to pull NY’s 28 electoral college votes?

Maybe the million his campaign will drop for the joint will pay for itself in the coverage of it.  Maybe, it won’t.

Thankfully, we assume Kamala, who told us last week that she’s a proud gun owner, will pass through the metal detector on her way into the Fox News Building.

The Dems incessant plea for gun control may not be such a bad idea.  Look at how well it works in Chicago.

Psst.  Have you heard the one about what a pheasant, a Dick, a jowl, a Quayle, an egomaniac, and a Fox interview have in common?

They’re all irrelevant to the bigger picture.

Something’s burning and it isn’t Rome.
