IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) We continue to follow real data, not polls. The most intriguing thing happening right now is that blue counties in Virginia are seeing their early vote numbers crash, while the red counties continue to accelerate. For example, "strong Harris counties" are down 19% from week one, but strong Trump counties are up 23%. Likewise, "weak Trump counties" are up 20%, weak Harris counties are down 9%. This held up over the weekend with Trump supporters having a 2% advantage. It shows a significant "enthusiasm gap" with Republicans itching to turn out. The same thing is happening in Illinois, where the early voting is way down. And Pennsylvania? Republicans there have already topped their previous high water mark of November 2020 when they had 39% the request volume of the Ds. Now? Already 42.4%. Again, DemoKKKrats will always win the early vote, but to be held down this much is a stunning achievement. Oh, and DemoKKKrats are 100,000 down from this time in 2020, besides the Rs being up. Meanwhile, CNN's data guru Harry Enten says younger voters are backing away from Cackles. Then he goes on to note that Cackles is down TEN POINTS from Rutabaga with union members (I bet it's a lot more). But this was a shocker: Michigan Senate Candidate Elissa Slotkin says Cackles is "underwater" in MI. Oh really? Does that mean R Mike Rogers is ahead?
2) New polling from Atlas, the most accurate pollster in 2020, has Trump leading in every swing state except NC and NV and leading nationally by 3. It is simply impossible for Trump to win nationally by 3, win AZ, GA, PA, MI, WI, and still lose NC or NV. Meanwhile, Trafalgar has President Trump up over 2 in Pennsylvania and Atlas also has him over 2 there.. And this is the third poll to show Bernie Moreno beating Sherrod Brown in OH for the key US Senate seat there. This would be pickup #3 and would negate Susan "Tom" Collins and Lisa MurCowSki, and, along with J.D. Vance as a tie breaker, ensure genuine GOP control of the senate. Speaking of J.D., it appears Tampon Timmy is peeing his pants over debating Vance.
3) This pretty much secures North Carolina for President Trump, as the NC Elections Board has just removed 750,000 names from the rolls. Most, I'm sure, are dead DemoKKKrat voters.
4) As if things weren't going bad enough for the DemoKKKrats, a panel of the New York Appeals Court seems on the verge of completely tossing Letitia James' civil fraud suit against President Trump.
5) The manhunt for Fat Fani Willis's lover, Nathan Wade, ended as he suddenly reappeared and was served with his subpoena.
6) Hurricane Helen's death toll rose to 50 with billions of dollars in damages. Here is Seth Keshel's analysis of politically how this might affect the election---roughly 50,000 net votes, one way or the other. We have just over 40 days to give NC as full a recovery as possible and along the way make sure they have ballot access.
7) Many will cheer this but I'm not so sure. An Arizona judge just ruled that can NOT certify the results of the 2024 election if any counties withhold certification due to fraud For example, I could see President Trump winning and D-heavy PIMA refusing to certify due to "fraud."
8) New revelations from the House Patriot Day (J6) committee show that President Trump pushed for National Guard and other security on January 6, 2021 but was rebuffed.
9) There was a big win vs. the Deep State in a decision involving fishermen having to deal with an unelected regulatory body.
10) This guy actually tracks cell phone data from the Cackles rallies. The vast majority are from Kollyfornia, and virtually all are from states OTHER than the one she is appearing in. These are fully astroturfed rallies with no locals whatsoever. Another example? A Harris/Walz event for PA latinos drew 50.
11) While Rutabaga's Department of INJustice focuses on white nationalists and J6ers, the U.S. Marshal's Service is engaged in law enforcement, arresting another 3421 violent criminals in ongoing Operation North Star. They are making a very good case for why we do not need the FascistBI at all.
12) Truly awesome news from David Blackmon, the Rush Limbaugh of Energy: big companies are stepping away from their "ESG" climate goals---even Gucci, Microsoft, Google, plus obviously energy companies.
13) Space X has formally launched its mission to bring home the stranded astronauts that NASA can't rescue.
14) Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna's political opponent was charged with threatening to assassinate her.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
15) The acting director of ICE disclosed that over 13,000 illegal criminal aliens were already criminals before they committed the crime of illegally crossing our border: they were murderers, rapists, and thugs.
16) Incredibly dangerous and stupid, as Minneapolis (New Mogadishu) swore in its first non-citizen police officer.
IN CULTURAL NEWS
17) Harvard has cancelled over 30 classes, including homosexual history, "Marx at the Mall," and other useless drivel.
18) Ryan Burge shows that evangelicals who don't attend church often are overwhelmingly liberal in their political orientation.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
19) Oh, don't tease me. Only 300? Disney to lay off more as the Mouse continues to ignore consumers and movie-goers. Speaking of bankruptcies, Pizza Hut plans to sell all 127 stores. Too bad. I liked Pizza Hut from time to time.
20) It's election time so conveniently the magical economists in the Rutabaga administration suddenly revised earnings and savings numbers UP for the last three years. Surrrre. Ya'll feel that, don't ya?
21) Inflation is back, but that's not stopping the Fed from lowering interest rates again.
22) Following in the footsteps of Amazon, Dell now requires employees to come into the office at least five days a week to "build skills." Also helps that the bosses can observe you so you ain't smokin' weed 8 hours a day.
23) From David Blackmon, the Rush Limbaugh of Energy, at a green festival all the solar displays were being powered by electricity from a grid run by hydrocarbons.
24) The status of the dollar as a reserve currency dropped to the lowest levels since 1995.
25) Rutabaga actually broke with progressives over a major permit-reform bill. Good.
26) Two Delta Airlines agents were charged with smuggling $3 million worth of Ketamine.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
27) Not the Babylon Bee: the EU has released a report saying it is "too European" and "too white."
28) Pootie-poot is apparently now ready to talk so he can consolidate his five regions taken in the war. I'm sure President Trump mentioned that to Green Screen Zelensky when they met.
29) The ChiCom hackers got the personal info of Canadian MPs after a little torture session.
30) ChiCom dictator Xi now is having to prioritize his own political survival over economic growth.
31) Rutabaga, when his meds apparently were working, managed to say the right thing, that Israel's assassination of the Hezbollah leader Nasrallah was "justice served." This cannot have been welcomed by Cackles, who is already in trouble with American Muslims. Now if we could only "serve justice" to the evil and corrupt Rutabaga/Cackles regime and all their little SS pedochoders.
32) Ah yes, NPR blames men who eat meat for global warming.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
33) This is both very good and very bad news. Mel Gibson is going to make a mini-series about the siege of Malta in 1565. It is one of the greatest stories of valor in history: about 10,000 Knights Hospitallers held off 100,000 invading Muslims from Sulieman the Magnificent. The reason it's bad news is that until about 2 years ago I held the rights to the best story on this, Angels in Iron by Nicholas Prata. I had written a screenplay from the book called "Malta." The article does not mention if Gibson is using this book or another. (Cyrus Nowrasteh who did "The Road to 9/11" for ABC also had a Malta script.)
34) Legendary songwriter, actor Kris Kristofferson dead at age 88 So, I actually was in a movie with Kristofferson. A friend and I attended the "Star is Born" concert as part of the audience, but because we wanted to see the bands better we went to the stadium seats outside the camera angle. So you won't see me, but I was there. And John Ashton, part of the Beverly Hills cop duo who met Eddie Murphy when he came in from Detroit, also dead, at age 76. And Dikembe Mutombo, NBA star and reknowned shot blocker, dead at age 58 after a battle with brain cancer.
IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS
35) Remsdisivir suddenly got recalled. Hmmm. Why? I can't imagine.
AND FINALLY . . .
36) Doggone it. Mount Everest is growing by the day. It has gone up 164 feet in the last 89,000 years. I was all set to climb this bad boy at its previous height, too.
