Why is a mag like Rolling Stone running dreck that can't mention the genocide in Gaza until the last paragraph but CAN talk about "Starbucks socialists rally in support of Islamic extremists"? Judging by his Twitter feed, Mac William Bishop is a Nat-Sec Nutsacks™ guy; he's full-in on the proxy war in Ukraine, for example, and mentions nothing about genocidal actions in Gaza. Per other stories by him on his website, he appears to be a fan of US microaggressions, and presumably of micro-bases by the US military, in sub-Saharan Africa. His bio there seems to confirm the general idea.
In addition, while his bio claims that he's covered Israel, as well as elsewhere in the Middle East, and East Asia, etc.? Of the stories he has posted there, none are about Israel. And, going back eight years, there's nothing about Israel on his Muck Rack. Plus, everything he's written is for US mainstream media.

The other stupidity? This piece claiming Havana Ted Cruz is nervous about losing to Colin Allred. Cancun Ted may have been halfway nervous about R.F. no K. Jr. Beto O'Rourke. This time? No. Sadly, the piece is working off a "newsletter" from the Chronic's in-house Substack by a cub reporter who IS a cub reporter, if even much of a reporter. Seriously, when your bio on that newsletter, which isn't news and also sucks because no comments allowed, says:
Born and raised in Houston, Brooke previously reported for the Vineyard Gazette. Her work has appeared in Teen Vogue, The New York Times, and the Wikipedia page for "Neckbeard."
You don't have much credibility. But you probably work cheap for Hearst.
Back to the races. In 2020, with Trump arguably being even more unpopular than the 2018 midterm, Big John Cornyn beat ConservaDem M.J. Hegar by 10 percentage points. Between that, Abbott's crushing gubernatorial win in 2022 and Wallbuilder Joe's unpopularity, plus the ongoing Californication of Tex-ass by people from the OC as well as the Bay Area, if iHate Ted wins by less than 10 percentage points, I'd be surprised.
