May 26

Wife and I were watching a Yankees-Royals baseball game, Yankees were ahead 12-1, game almost over, so she went to bed and I switched to Lawrence.

Lawrence was interviewing Talarico, the Democrat who will face Paxton.

Lawrence played the part of Paxton's victory speech where he attacked Talarico with every vile lie he could find. Paxton's attacks on Talarico are so vile, so evil, so filled with hate it almost made me puke.

If you have a chance to hear Paxton's attacks on Talarico, don't do it.
