My husband, Peter, had never had a cat before we adopted Felix, and Felix is taking full advantage of this.
Peter didn’t know, for instance, that cats require tuna, right out of the can, every night at precisely 8:30 p.m. — until Felix informed him. Peter did not know that he was not permitted to be late, nor was he allowed to run out of tuna. Felix has a firm no-substitutions policy. Peter now understands this.
By the time all the votes are counted in the presidential election, which could come days or weeks after Election Day, it is quite possible Kamala Harris coasts to an easy win, or Donald Trump ends up winning in a blowout.
A more realistic outcome is a much closer race, and given the evenly split nation, that wouldn’t be surprising.
The polls are also tilting more to the latter, with Trump ahead in several polls and Harris ahead in others.
Corn harvest is ramping up across Kansas and while every field will be different, reports from across the state range from better than expected to a great crop. Prices, however, are just ugly. As the calendar marches toward October, soybean harvest and wheat planting will make already crowded schedules even busier.
In Finney County, Kyle Deaver had started shelling dryland corn. Irrigated fields are still ripening but soybeans are getting close to being harvest ready. Rain showers were a welcome benefit last week that will help with wheat planting.
Under the Taliban, women in Afghanistan face unprecedented threats. According to UN experts, women there face gender apartheid: “Taliban edicts policies and practices” constitute “an institutionalized system of discrimination, oppression and domination of women and girls.” Since their return to power in August 2021, the Taliban have imposed more than 70 edicts, orders, and decrees on women’s social, cultural, economic, political, and civil rights. These restrictions include education and workforce bans, along with invalidating women’s divorces, abolishing the Law on Elimination of Violence against Women (EVAW Law), dissolving the court addressing the violence against women cases, and more.
As the campaign ramps up between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, there are very different approaches being provide by both candidates.
Harris adopted Trump’s “No Tax on Tips” proposal, but other than that, they have taken very different paths on how to handle the nation’s finances as well as what role the American people will play.
