somebody, like on purpose, when you re attacking. but that s really it. other than that, people use language. i might be really upset by somebody, some so-called race of people saying something and it might make me mad and upset. i m never going the turn around and say, well, that person, we have to pass a law against them using that language. also in that piece i talk about the confederate flag. that s not really my favorite thing. but when people say we have to make that illegal, i said no,out can t make anything illegal because we all have the right to express ourselves. if you take that freedom away from one person, you take it away from everyone. mr. mosley, a clean black writer who was brought in to lend a certain voice, if you can t use the n-word in retelling a story, what does that say about where we are right now as a society? well, you know, listen. what it means is the people who are way up and in charge are protecting themselves from
is it, dallas, a layup for republicans today? what are you looking for? how close do you think this thing is going to be? well, it s about a five-point-plus republican district. in 2018 there was a six-point swing to the democrats, and that made the race virtually tied. my gut is that the new people moving into the district probably lean a little to the left, but that there are stim more republican voters, and i think the political environment is a little better for republicans. so i think dan mccready with the president s help will squeak it out in the end. i think it will be close. i also look, i ve got to be hornest wi honest with you, i don t believe it has any larger meaning the the state. the democratic candidate has been running for two years. ours has been running for three or four months. it s one district.

holidays. when consumers aren t sure, businesses aren t sure how much they re going to make. he is introducing and injecting an element of uncertainty and volatility into the financial markets that are actually counterproductive to what he wants. jpmorgan this week, introduced what they called, i believe, vol fef fay index to look at how his tweets affect the markets. it s not that he can single-handedly bring on a recession, but he can sure scare people into thinking a recession is imminent. dallas, today is a bit of a do-over in north carolina, the race pitting dan bishop against dan mccready because of that mail-in ballot controversy. from a local perspective, dallas, how much does a rally like the one we saw last night, how much does it move the needle for republicans there? i actually think it moves the needle tremendously, more so
