Toddler to Obama: You're no George Washington!

This little girl exhibits what many of us are feeling!

Four-year-old, homeschooled Ava loves George Washington so much that when she found out he is no longer our president, she dissolved in tears. The real heartbreak came when she was told who our current president is.

We know, Ava, we know...

Facebook politics

TRENDING: Republicans move to replace GOP canvasser who voted to certify Biden win

Though Facebook cautions its new election tracking tool can’t predict winners or losers, some experts think it has the potential to do exactly that. Time will tell, of course.

Facebook's new interactive map of House, Senate and gubernatorial races shows how many people “like” those candidates and are talking about them.

"The statistics used are from candidates' campaign pages. If a candidate does not have a campaign page, but does have an official government page, those figures are shown. If a candidate has neither, no statistics are shown. The map displays like percentages from constituents of states and districts only," notes Facebook.

Users can click on a state to see candidates and state-specific statistics and scroll on the map to zoom in and out.

Can Facebook predict this year's winning candidates? These nine charts could hold a clue.

As reported, "Facebook's massive reach and emergence as a top source of news make it a critical component to any political campaign."

Color me blue

What color is your personality?

Playbuzz reports, "Color psychology tells us that our instinctive color preferences reveal the deepest parts of our personalities."

What color do you subconsciously relate to? Mine is silver. And yours?

Brotherhood across the border

Last week's shooting death of a Canadian soldier by an Islamic convert elicited an outpouring of sympathy and solidarity with our neighbor to the north. Reservist Nathan Cirillo was murdered while guarding Canada's National War Memorial. Halifax Chronicle-Herald cartoonist Bruce MacKinnon paid tribute to Cirillo in this depiction of the War Memorial statues coming to life to aid the stricken soldier. The image was snapped up by social media users and made its way throughout cyberspace.

Additionally, within the first day the Canadian maple leaf below was "shared" by 58,000 Facebookers.

Strange appeal

These will probably be the strangest political ads you'll see of 2014: “Squeal,” "Chicken Dance," “Gator,” “Outrageous,” “Stitches,” “Dance Party,” “Naked Truth” and “When the Moment is Right.”

From The Hill: "From cocaine monkeys to skinny dipping to dancing insurance executives, candidates have been using frantic, creative and downright odd pitches. With Election Day just over a week away, here’s a trip down memory lane with some of the strangest political ads of 2014."

Only for militias?

The latest video from Truth Revolt: "Tired of listening to progressives tell you that the Second Amendment only allows people in militias to keep and bear arms? Or that the Founders would have never intended the Second Amendment to apply to modern weapons? In his latest FIREWALL video, Bill Whittle recounts a remarkable conversation about the precise wording of the Second Amendment and sums up why the document says what it means and means what it says."

In an earlier video, Whittle discusses Ebola: "A deadly epidemic is on the loose in America. It's not an Ebola epidemic. It's an epidemic of fear. In this must-see FIREWALL, Bill Whittle tells us not only that we should be optimistic, but WHY we should be optimistic, as well as what was done right, what was done wrong, and what needs to be done in the future."

Speaking of Ebola ...

I've been posting articles on my Facebook page written by medical professionals who are blogging about the spread of Ebola at their sites. I tend to believe them over what our "gubmint" is telling us.

For your safety sake, here's a list of the ones I'm reading. More as I find them.

Quite frequently Twitterers come up with hashtag themes or "memes" for others to play with. One such popular theme last week was #TweetAPicOfYourDog with President Obama. Twitchy monitored the fun and decided this was the best of all:
