TY Baker!
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill has approvingly evoked former President Ronald Reagan. She said she would back President Donald Trump if he stopped a migrant caravan at the border. And speaking on Fox News, she has decried “crazy Democrats.”
What is the Democratic senator up to?
The vulnerable incumbent is appealing to the right in a bid to win a third term in a state that Trump won by 19 percentage points in 2016.
She’s betting a more centrist message will resonate with independents and moderate Republican voters she desperately needs to beat Republican challenger Josh Hawley, who has relentlessly attacked her as too liberal for the conservative leaning state.
“For me, it’s not about fighting the president every day,” she told a group of supporters gathered at an iconic Missouri pizza parlor called Shakespeare’s Pizza in the college town of Columbia. “It’s about fighting for you every day.”
McCaskill’s messaging prompted Trump to say sarcastically during a Thursday rally in Columbia, Missouri, that: “I didn’t know she was a Republican.”

Mohammed Bin Salman?
At first I was skeptical of the prince’s Vision 2030 plan to modernize our kingdom.
I have come around. Most Saudis are under age 30, and have only known elderly rulers. Now a major leader is our peer.
I want to see the changes lead to political reforms, even a constitutional monarchy and full freedom of expression.
If MBS would do that, my hopes for a better Saudi Arabia are
bigger than the sky.

FUCK NATO:
One US soldier has been killed and another injured in an apparent insider attack in Afghanistan, the Nato-led mission in the country says.
Initial reports suggest the assailant in Kabul was a member of the Afghan armed forces and he was "immediately killed" by fellow soldiers, it says.
The injured US soldier is stable.
This is being seen as the latest so-called "green-on-blue" attack, in which members of the Afghan forces have killed US or coalition soldiers.
No group has so far claimed responsibility for Saturday's attack.
