Well, maybe that and remember how the election is over? He doesn't have to campaign and hold rallies anymore.
No disrespect to Draino.
He does good stuff.

SHOCKING VIDEO: Liberian Man Caught on Video Violently Body Slamming Young Mother During Road Rage Incident in Massachusetts
A man from Liberia has been arrested in Massachusetts after violently body-slamming a young mother during a shocking road rage incident captured on video by a witness.
The attacker, Gladior Kwesiah, 26, and the victim, Hailea Soares, were in a minor car accident shortly before 9 a.m. in Attleboro on Friday morning.
In the video, Kwesiah approached her vehicle and began banging on the roof before violently yanking the petite mother of two out of her car.
The witness said they heard Soares shout for him to leave him alone before he picked her up and body-slammed her.
“By the time that I realized I was in the air, and I thought to myself, ‘I might die right now,'” Soares told ABC 7.
“The only thing that I could think of was I knew I was in the air and by the time I was realizing I was in the air and I thought to myself, like, I might die right now, I had already hit the ground. And I didn’t realize that I had hit the ground,” Soares said. “It was like a weird sensation I felt on my face and that’s when I realized I was on the ground and I rolled over and there was blood dripping all over my hands.”
According to a report from CBS, police arrived and found Soares with a broken knee, broken foot, an injury to her eye socket and a serious injury to her skull.
“I called my friend, and I started crying and I said I can’t feel my knees, I can’t feel my knees,” Soares told CBS. “I needed her to go get my kids, so she had to go pick up my children and all I could think was I’m probably never going to be able to walk again.”
Soares has a one-year-old and an eight-year-old.
“I don’t know if he was having a bad day, I don’t know what that was, but if that’s the type of person he is, then I don’t think he belongs in society with the rest of us,” Soares said.
A Facebook page belonging to Kewsiah says he is from Monrovia, Liberia, and studied at American International College.
Kewsiah has been charged with assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, vandalizing property and unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.
The violent attacker’s bail has been set at just $2,500, along with an order that he has no contact with Soares.

Appeals court resurrects lawsuit against New York requiring pro-life groups to hire pro-choicers
Empire State must meet "strict scrutiny" standard of judicial review — a compelling government interest in regulating the "expressive association" of pregnancy centers via the "least restrictive means," 2nd Circuit rules.
ission-driven organizations often fight laws and policies that require them to accept individuals at odds with their mission, notably those in same-sex relationships for leadership and employment within Christian organizations.
Pro-life individuals and pregnancy centers routinely face limits on their advocacy and even threats to their existence from so-called buffer zone laws outside abortion facilities and Democratic attorneys general who see them as inherently deceptive.
New York took the unusual step in 2019 of combining these restrictions into a single law, signed by then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, that prohibits "discrimination based on an individual's or a dependent's reproductive health decision making," depriving religious and secular pro-life organizations their ability to associate with only those who share their values.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals revived a lawsuit against the so-called "Boss Bill" (SB 660) Thursday, four and a half years after a district court dismissed all but one claim by two pregnancy center networks and a church, citing its February 2023 ruling that the law plausibly forced another pregnancy center network to hire those who act against its "very mission."
That network, the Evergreen Association, sued in 2020 represented by the Thomas More Society, and argued that "being forced to hire employees who have had abortions" and did "not regret" them, "or would opt for an abortion in the future," would weaken its "mission to encourage expectant mothers to choose life" and its pro-life message.
The New York City-based appeals court had rebuked the district court for finding the burden on the Evergreen Association's "expressive association" was "minimal." It required the Empire State to meet the "strict scrutiny" standard of judicial review – a compelling government interest in regulating expression via the "least restrictive means."
It's not clear why the 2nd Circuit took nearly two years to apply that ruling to the earlier case by CompassCare, National Institute of Family and Life Advocates and First Bible Baptist Church. The appeals court heard oral argument more than a year ago with their counsel, the Alliance Defending Freedom, known for its stellar record in Supreme Court cases.
CompassCare and NIFLA are also plaintiffs in state and federal lawsuits against New York Attorney General Letitia James for her threats to sanction them for promoting so-called abortion pill reversal – using supplemental progesterone, a pregnancy hormone, to counteract the abortifacient mifepristone, a protocol that a reproductive researcher said makes "biological sense."
Like the Evergreen Association, which is still arguing its case in district court on remand, the two networks and church will now return to the district court that junked nearly all their case in 2022. For both cases, only their expressive-association claims were reinstated.
The 2nd Circuit panel notably included two judges nominated by President Joe Biden, Sarah Merriam and Myrna Pérez, as well as President George W. Bush nominee Barrington Parker, known for an influential ruling against then-President Trump that has been widely copied to stop public officials from blocking critics on social media.
CompassCare requires staff to be practicing Christians who "believe in and agree to abide by its positional statements on abortion, birth control, religious faith, and organizational principles," according to the opinion by Merriam.
NIFLA "strongly encourages" members to adopt "statements of faith and codes of conduct," and many New York members require all who serve to "live by" their views on "pregnancy, abortion, contraceptive use, and sexual conduct outside the context of a marriage between one man and one woman."
First Bible similarly requires employees as well as volunteers "to abide by and agree with the church’s moral and ethical standards … in both their work life and private life," recognizing that "human life begins at conception" and intentional abortion violates the Bible.
Their only victory before U.S. District Judge James McAvoy, nominated by President Ronald Reagan, was a permanent injunction against a "notice provision" that required employers who issue "employee handbooks" to tell employees about their rights under SB 660, which he found directly contradicts a compelled-speech SCOTUS precedent.

South Carolina minority commission discriminates against minorities with racial quota: lawsuit says
The federal lawsuit argues that the state law requiring a racial quota for the commission violates the 14 Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause and Citizenship Clause.
A law regarding South Carolina’s minority commission is allegedly discriminating against minorities in order to meet a specific racial quota, according to a federal lawsuit, as two minority women believe they have a disadvantage to be chosen as members because of their race.
A statewide minority commission created with the purpose of aiding minorities in South Carolina is allegedly discriminating against people of the "wrong" color by requiring a majority of its members to be African-American, according to a new lawsuit. Two minority women, who are "of color" but not African-American, are suing the South Carolina governor over a law that they allege discriminates against them over serving on the state’s minority commission.
Last month, the Pacific Legal Foundation brought a lawsuit on behalf of Sandy Chiong, who is of Chinese, Cuban, and Spanish descent, and “is ready, willing, and able to serve as a member of the South Carolina Commission for Minority Affairs and would be eligible to serve on the Commission were her race not a factor,” according to the filing.
The purpose of the commission, which was created in 1993, is “to study the causes and effects of the socio-economic deprivation of minorities in the State and to implement programs necessary to address inequities confronting minorities in the State,” according to state statute.
"Wrong" minority?
The commission consists of nine members that serve four-year terms, are appointed by the governor, and must be from each of the state’s seven congressional districts and two at-large persons. “A majority of the members of the commission must be African American,” according to the state law.
“This means that at least five of the nine Commission slots are prohibited from going to Americans of any other racial background—whether white, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, multiracial, or other. The statute offers no justification whatsoever for this categorical race-based restriction,” argues the lawsuit brought by Pacific Legal Foundation.
Chiong is seeking “to be appointed to the Commission for the current or future opening for an at-large seat, or for the current opening for the seat for the 7th Congressional district,” according to the lawsuit.
“The Commission has three vacant seats and two expired terms to fill—including the state’s 7th Congressional District, where Sandy [Chiong] lives. Based on the board’s current makeup, African Americans must fill at least two of these five positions to maintain the required majority,” according to the Pacific Legal Foundation.

Commission to investigate "racism" is committing racism.
Mysterious ‘Chemical-Smelling’ Fog Blankets U.S. States, Sparking Health Concerns and Bioweapon Fears
In recent weeks, a mysterious fog with a distinct chemical odor has enveloped multiple U.S. states, causing health concerns among residents and fueling bioweapon theories, especially following numerous drone sightings in the affected areas.
The fog has been observed in various states, including California, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Concerned citizens have shared videos and reports on social media.
In a viral TikTok video posted last year, David Bamber from St. Petersburg, Florida, wrote the fog “tastes and smells like after setting off a lot of fireworks. That sulfur smell.”
“It’s crazy foggy right now, but that’s not the weird part. Number one, it’s weird because, as it gets later in the day, fog should lighten and dissipate—and it’s really not. But the weirdest part is the taste and smell,” Bamber said in the video, which amassed 3 million views.
“It smells like after you set off a bunch of fireworks, and the taste of the air is… I mean, the only word I can think of is toxic. It’s super weird. I’m going for my walk, and it’s worrying me a little bit… That’s weird. Yeah, it smells not right. I’m 41. I’ve been through fog. This is something different,” he added.
In a separate video, Bamber said, “It smells like chemicals going down my throat when I breathe.”
@david_bamberIt tastes and smells like after setting off a lot of fireworks. That sulfur smell. Anyone else expereicning something like this? Kinda freaking me out.♬ original sound – It’s all a dream
Residents also have reported experiencing flu-like symptoms after brief exposure to the fog.
One Florida individual recounted sneezing, eye swelling, fever, and stomach cramps after being outside in the fog for just 10 minutes in an interview with Daily Mail.
“Within about and hour, I kept sneezing over and over for about three hours, and my eyes were really puffy,” she said. “I got very warm and I felt like I had a fever, and my stomach was cramping.”
Here’s another video in Florida:
Does this look like fog to you here in Florida? What do you think? pic.twitter.com/oj732etBpa

A woman in Kansas told the Daily Mail that “massive amounts of chemtrails” over the area last week, which were followed by a dense fog.
The situation has led to a resurgence of theories reminiscent of “Operation Sea-Spray,” a 1950 biological warfare experiment by the U.S. Navy that resulted in illness and one death.
More from the Daily Mail:
A thick, ‘mysterious’ fog has descended upon a wide swath of the US, sparking fears of another ‘Operation Sea Spray.’
For one week in September of 1950, the US Navy sprayed massive amounts of bacteria into the air two miles off the coast of San Francisco, California.
The aim of this secret biological warfare experiment was to learn how vulnerable large US cities like San Francisco would be to a biowarfare attack by terrorists.
The bacteria used were Serratia marcescens, which can cause respiratory issues and meningitis, and Bacillus atrophaeus that can be lethal immunocompromised individuals. At the time, the Navy believed these bacteria were harmless to humans.
But when Bay Area residents began rushing to the hospital, it became clear that was not the case.
After inhaling thousands of bacterial spores, 11 people checked into Stanford Hospital near San Francisco with very rare, serious urinary tract infections that doctors ultimately determined were caused by the experiment.
One patient, a man named Edward Nevin who was recovering from prostate surgery at the time, died.
Experts, however, offer natural explanations for the phenomenon.
Fog is composed of tiny water droplets and is typically odorless. However, experts say it can absorb pollutants and odors present in the surrounding air, leading to noticeable smells.
“When fog forms, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and other polluting gases are taken up or ‘scavenged’ by fog water droplets,” explained Rudolf Husar, an atmospheric scientist at Washington University, in an article for NASA Earth Observatory.
If you encounter fog with an unusual smell, it’s advisable to limit exposure, especially if you experience any discomfort or health symptoms.
