McAuliffe Leads Youngkin By 3% in VA
We have a new poll from CBS News and YouGov showing Terry McAuliffe with a 3% lead over Glenn Youngkin as we are now three weeks away from Election Day.
GOVERNOR – VIRGINIA (CBS News/YouGov)
Terry McAuliffe (D) 50%
Glenn Youngkin (R) 47%
I used ot subscribe to the theory in the early days of early voting that it didn’t matter who had a perceived advantage in early voting since it was usually a small percentage and it wouldn’t change the overall vote total enough to make much of a difference. but with early voting almost becoming as popular (or even more popular) than Election Day voting and the fact that early voting is not going away, Republicans are going to have figure out a way to get their voters to also vote early in the same percentage numbers as Democrats. Every early vote that occurs is one less vote a party has to chase to get to the polls on Election Day. This poll shows among people who have already voted, McAuliffe is already ahead 61%-37%.
This poll was done October 4-11 among 1040 likely voters.
First
I don’t have a problem with “if you can’t beat them join them” when it comes to early voting in person.
The problem is VBM. If Rs subscribe to that theory with VBM they are screwed. Unless they are willing to engage in fraud in R areas in the same percentage Ds do in D areas (not going to happen and would be a lot more difficult anyway).
I remain opposed to early voting. One Election Day with very limited absentee ballots cuts down, but does not eliminate, fraud.
You must be opposed to fact that GWB won in 2000 then, Bitter, because votes cast for him before the DUI revelation were a factor in his win.
Early voting is why 2022 will not be a GOP wipe out. Ds will have months to vote. We have effectively destroyed the voting system with early voting and VBM.
#986 in the prior thread, mnw. of course I factored in that the GOP needs to shore up MO-02. But that’s in the opposite side of the state as the MO-05, and making the MO-05 GOP-leaning wouldn’t adversely affect the MO-02. What I would do in the eastern part of MO is to expand the MO-01 to the most heavily D parts of St, Louis County not currently in MO-01, have the heavily GOP MO08 take in all of Jefferson County and a big chunk of St. Louis County (shedding Cape Girardeau, the Bootheel and the SW parts of the CD), and drawing a comfortably GOP MO-02 that takes in all of St. Charles, Franklin, Warren and Gasconade counties as well as a portion of St. Louis County (including Ann Wagner’s hone area around Ballwin). The 2020 Trump percentage would go from 49% to like 57% or 58%.
If the 2000 election was conducted under the same circumstances as 2020 with all the BS junk mail, there is no way GWB would have won.

You are absolutely correct.
Phil #8
… and this is precisely what makes Liz Cheney’s bs so annoying. Her daddy would have never been VP.
You must be opposed to fact that GWB won in 2000″
We are hundreds of years away from 2000 in terms of election rules.
We have effectively destroyed the voting system with early voting and VBM”
Yep, that is it in a nutshell.
Note to self.
No need to worry about election fraud unless it’s rampant in NC because as NC so does the entire country. Besides, the GOP will have plenty of cash reserves to purchase political ads on TV targeting suburban women voters and that will offset any potential fraud.

Wes – Do I have to research the results of every election in every state going back to 1789 (or the date a state was admitted if later) before making a post? I did not recall that Florida had early voting in 2000. I understand your point but it is pure speculation unless you want to post how many Dems and how many Republicans voted early in Florida in 2000.
I do not believe that PA had early voting in 2016 because I never planned on voting early so there was no reason to look it up. Trump won in 2016. When early voting and VBM came to PA in 2020, Trump lost by a very narrow margin. I don’t think that was a coincidence.

Interesting case from the UK. I think the judge was wrong. I do not have one of these cameras but this is a bad idea if it comes to American courts.
Yes, PA has had early voting for as long as I have lived here. But at least in York, there was only one location in the county to do so, the registrar’s office. I did vote early several times due to travel, but each time I was the only person doing it. They had a little voting booth set up in a back office, they would check your ID, confirm your address, hand you a paper ballot and you would hand them back a sealed envelope signed across the back. No machines.

Bitter, FL had absentee voting in 2000, with senior citizens not needing to give any other excuse for voting absentee. So even if senior citizens were not going to be outside the state on Election Day, they could viote absentee. And since in-state absentee ballots in FL needed to arrive by Election Day (the federal UOCAVA law permitted absentees cast by Floridians residing abroad ten days to arrive, but it doesn’t apply to in-state absentees), a big chunk of FL absentees were cast prior to the DWI story being leaked and disseminated (which story was devastating to the Bush campaign, not least because it broke while Ross Perot was about to announce his endorsenent of Bush on the Larry King Show, and Larry cut away from Perot for CNN coverage of the story), and, as Wes mentioned, it might have been crucial gir Bush’s victory that he had banked so many votes cast before the story broke. Bush won FL by 0.01%, so every little thing was crucial. (Similarly, had that photogrpher not captured Elian being ripped from Donato Dalrymple’s arms by DOJ thugs, Bush likely would have gotten at least a thousand fewer Cuban-American votes in Miami and lost the election.)
That being said, one can favor voting taking place only on Election Day without it meaning that one preferred Gore to win. Heck, Wes tells everyone he meets that, in hindsight, he wishes that Gore had won, and that doesn’t mean that he therefore needs to oppose pre-Election-Day absentee voting.
I think that states should eliminate early voting and permit absentee voting only for very specific and limited reasons (such as military and diplomatic personnel stationed outside the state, college students attending school outside the state, religious missionaries and Peace Corps types working abroad, migrant workers temporarily outside the state, airline personnel wirking outside the state that day, and a few other similar categories). Apart from those limited exceptions, voting should be in-person, on Election Day, so as to ensure a secret ballot with no coercion (a battered wife can be cierced by her abusive husband to vote his way when it’s an absentee ballot, but she can vote freely if it’s in person at the polls). If a voter is too ill to go to the polls, then election authorities can deliver, on Election Day, paper ballots to such registered voters that request such service and ensure that the voter casts his ballot in private (unpess they physically need help filling in the votes) and in any event without coercion. My personal preference would be that absentee votes, too, should be required to be postmarked *on* Election Day (before such time as the polls close), in order to ensure that citizens vote with the same facts being available; that would mean that it would take a few days before any absentee votes arrive, but they would be relatively few votes and, if it’s a very close election, waiting a week to find out who won is par for the course.
There should be one Election Day, and states should act accordingly. And given that the Constitution empowers Congress to set Election Day for federal elections, I think that Congress could implement some of what I mentioned above if states continue to have election rules that establish Election Month instead.
I know Tgclown grew up in Newark and may not be familiar with trees. Yes. There are trees in Radnor. The trees have leaves on them. Until they fall off and I have to rake them to the curb. I did not plant the trees but I will not apologize for their presence.
I also prefer Election Day voting only with absentee voting available for those who will be out of town on Election Day or who are in some way disabled. They must request the ballots by a due date and have some system of voter ID. Since we will never go back to Election Day voting only I am partial to the Florida and Texas system. Early voting but strong election integrity.
Florida should be the model on election night. They have nine million votes counted by 11:00. They completely fixed the 2000 mess. It’s a great system. When Broward County attempted to steal the 2018 seat for Nelson they stopped the theft.
Then there are the election joke states like Nevada, California and Pennsylvania….

Break it gently to carnivorous friends that “yoots” are leaving city and corporate jobs for farm work because they’re more environmentally conscientious.
This could mean the conscientious snowflakes advocate for expanded Civil Rights protection for farm animals such as the right NOT to:
– be slaughtered and eaten
– be caged like illegal immigrants at the border
– have forced separation from children
– have embryos stolen without contractual arrangement for adequate consideration
– work under egregious and unfair labor hours without just and fair compensation and federally mandated breaks
– be deprived of bodily fluids produced for offspring without fair compensation
– be forced to take vaccines and other injections
– make choices on personal medical matters “my body, my choice”
Crops manager Matt Celona said he’s not surprised by the applicants now looking for work on the farm.
“Makes sense to me. They’ve tried a job, they don’t like it. They want to try something else. They have an interest in the environment,” Celona said.

WV is a beautiful state with tons of wonderful people, but we have bled population since 1960, though not where I live as the two far east counties in WV are among the fastest 50 growing counties in the nation in population.
FAST FORWARD 5 YEARS:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Congress is beset by women’s groups wanting to reduce breast cancer.
They previously had asked the governor/legislature in stat X, Y or Z to advance the cause of fighting breast cancer by repainting all double yellow lines in pink. States X,Y,Z refused citing safety and cost issues.
So the women descend on Congress and DEMAND that all federal funds be withheld from states X,Y,Z until they comply.
The women say if any congressman does NOT vote to force the painting of yellow lines PINK, then those congressmen hate women and should be voted out.
Congress does what the fight breast cancer women want nd force states X,Y,Z to paint all double lines pink.
Then, some National African American splinter group does same thing wanting to paint all double yellow lines green to advance the cause of fighting racism…
They descend on Congress and make a big ruckus and do same thing as breast cancer fighters did. “Any congressman who opposes this is a racist and should be voted out!”
So congress does what this group wants and the states are pressured to paint the double lines green…
…and on, and on, and on.
When you all do your math on how many seats the Rs will gain in the next census due to redistricting, don’t forget to subtract one R from WV due to # of members in House of Rep. going from 3 to 2.
It’s going to be difficult to gain IA-3 while shoring up the neighboring seat we won by 6 votes when the seat next door we only won by 2% and the giant republican vote sink in the north west lost population. IA has strict redistricting map rules and I doubt too much gaming the map will be allowed.
SoHope
We disagree. I consider Axne to be the most vulnerable DEM in the House. She won by less than 1% in 2020? She’s gone in 2022, unless Biden’s JA recovers. She’ll lose in her current district. The GOP doesn’t even have to touch the map.
I contributed to Hinson. She’s a wonderful candidate! And now she has the additional advantages of incumbency AND an off year election in 2022.
The most recent Selzer poll in IA was brutal for Biden, and Axne is campaigning in IA this week with… wait for it… Dr. Jill!
Plus, did you see 13 above? Pls take a look. Another one bit the dust last night. IA is a House of Horrors for the DEMs right now.
Inflation came in at 5.4%. The highest in 13 years. But no mean tweets.
As bad as California, Virginia, Colorado look for the GOP along with discouraging trends in Arizona and Georgia over the past decade, GOP prospects have gone decidedly up in Iowa, Florida, and Ohio.
MSM headlines no doubt will be something along the lines of
BIDEN HOLDS INFLATION SOLIDLY BELOW DOUBLE DIGITS
Arizona has voting irregularities. Maricopa and Pima counties are a mess.
Georgia is also a mess due to Fulton.
In contrast, Florida has cleaned up its voter rolls.
Florida is the gold standard.

The problems are 3 fold:
1. IA: Map rules require no county splitting or odd shaped districts
2. IA-3 will have to lose 75k pop and most will have to go to the ruby red IA-4.
3. Miller-Meeks won by 8 votes and will need some of IA-3’s rural counties to shore it up, making IA-3 bluer.
The only way to get all 4 is to move Suburban 50/50 Dallas Co into IA-4 and send a lot of rural counties to offset and then shore up Miller-Meeks but that will be some irregular district lines. I’m all for it if they can pull it off but it depends on if the IA rules stop them.
Iowa one of those states you just can’t push it. Solidifying 3 of 4 districts for the next decade will be just fine.
IA GOP will also have to dance with the independent commission.
1st map they released was 2/2. They said the 2nd map will be ready about 2 weeks before the deadline. If they reject it quickly they will have a week to draw up their own GOP 3/1 or if we are lucky 4/0 map. But it’s a lot to ask for a super GOP aligned map that quickly without “breaking” redistricting map rules that will get overturned by the courts.
Food and energy are what consumers face regularly. They don’t buy dishwashers or home computers every week
SoHope & Phil
No, not my view. I think you may be treating 2 things too lightly:
1) If there’s a red wave nationally in ’22 (seems likely right now), there’ll be a red tsunami in IA.
2) Hinson is a former local TV news personality (as I recall)– very attractive & articulate. As an incumbent now in a better year, I bet she can’t be beaten no matter how her district is redrawn.
I see IA as being differently situated than equally red MO– in IA there aren’t enough AAs to worry about dilution, altho I’d like to see Meldrin’s thoughts here.
Did you guys see that most recent Ann Selzer/Des Moines newspaper poll? It was startling, & very few will deny she’s one of the best pollsters in America.
Gordon
That was my point– I should’ve added /s at the end.
SoHope and mnw, I believe tha tthe rules about no county splitting, no weird district shapes, etc. are the ones that the IA nonpartisan redistricting committee must follow. But the state legislature is free to reject such maps and adopt its own map. And, besides, if you look at the current IA congressional map, it has some of the funkiest shapes out there.
It would be relatively easy to draw a congressional map with four CDs that each gave Trump between 52.6% and 53.4% while only splitting four counties (and only one, Democrat Johnson County, being an important one to split)–I know this because I did this on a spreadsheet. The trick to drawing four CDs that each are close to the Trump statewide percentage is to connect Des Moines’s Polk County to the hyper-Republican Dutch counties in the NW part of the state. That map almost certainly would produce four GOP CDs. The current IA congressional map has one overwhelmingly GOP that gave Trump 62.7% and three CDs that gave Trump between 49% and 51%, and in 2020 the Democrats only managed to hold on to the 49% Trump IA-03. Boosting Trump’s vote percentage in Axne’s CD from 49.1% to 52.6% would do the trick, and if Axne decides not to run in that Polk County-to-NW IA CD where incumbent Republican Randy Feenstra would be strongly favored, she’d still lose in a 53% or so Trump CD.
If the legislature had to once again forgo having four CDs of equal population and go with a map with no county splits, then it might force one of the CDs to have given Trump only 52% or so (the two CDs that split Johnson County in my map gave Trump over 53%). But, in any event, the legislature should go for a 4-0 map, since drawing one ultra-Democrat CD would not even guarantee a 3-1 map unless Polk County (which is too far removed from the most heavily Democrat counties in the state to be placed in a Democrat sinkhole) is joined with NW IA, which would be the most controversial part of the 4-0 map.

I did not recall that Florida had early voting in 2000. I understand your point but it is pure speculation unless you want to post how many Dems and how many Republicans voted early in Florida in 2000.

Actually, Bitter, it’s not sheer speculation. In his book Stealing Elections, John Fund–who spends most of the book skewering Democrats for election fraud–points out how Democrats’ push for increased early voting in 2000 backfired because a certain percentage of Bush supporters in critical states said they would have flipped their votes to Gore had they known Bush had a DUI.
He cites polling in his statement. Unfortunately I don’t have the book in front of me to point you to his citation. Still, there you go. As far as I can tell, Fund is a Republican, yet he points out, complete with citation, Bush would have lost votes–and therefore almost certainly the election given its knife’s-edge margin–had Bush not already banked votes among people who would have voted for Gore had they known about the DUI.
Meldrin
Thx.
Axne certainly seems like she intends to run for reelection. If she were a Republican doing that in a bad GOP year, I’d have to say I admire her guts.
Here’s something that hasn’t been mentioned here, as far as I know, & it applies in IA & elsewhere:
The DEMs are likely to have real trouble recruiting quality challengers to GOP incumbents, like Hinson & Miller-M, in 2022. Suppose the DNC approaches you & asks you to run because they think you’d be a strong candidate. They promise to help you raise money so you can be competitive.
Would you do it in 2022? Or say, “No thanks, I’ll wait for a more promising year”? Most good candidates probably prefer not to launch their political careers by going 0-1. (Once again, I feel like I’m providing a glimpse into the obvious.)
MN. I was agreeing with you,and just adding emphasis to how politically important ” food and energy” are to peoples perceptions
It is mind numbing how much damage the slavish devotion to ” green energy”( and Democratic Donors) has cost us,when we had pretty much reached energy independence.

Which reminds me of a good catchphrase I thought about for a certain computer manufacturing company.
“Having trouble with your current computer company?
Then you can go to Dell.”
Mnw, on RRH, a Democrat actually said an increase in gas prices actually won’t hurt Democrats because we’re moving away from fossil fuel usage for vehicles. While the underlying reasoning regarding fossil fuels is true to some degree, we’re still far from being past use of fossil fuels. Of course such things aren’t confined to the internal combustion engine since an increase in oil prices also increases the prices of numerous non-car-related products oil is a component of; still, Democrats are so blind to reality they’re actually refusing to acknowledge the fallout of current events on Biden and the Democratic Party.
I agree with your premise about candidate recruitment by the way. It’s been noteworthy here in NC in the Senate race where despite the closely divided nature of the state last year, Democrats have punted on the race to succeed Burr and have attracted only B- and C-listers well to the left of the state to their primary. Of course the GOP field is not stellar, but any of the three principal Republicans running is at least competent. That’s far more than the Dems can say about their pool of candidates.
By the way, Republicans flipped a state legislative seat in IA they hadn’t won in 46 years. The Republican who won had lost the 2020 election by 3 but won the special by 20.

The “green energy” vs real world disconnect is just INCREDIBLE! And nobody’s noticed.
1) The price of natural gas in Europe has gone up 600% this year, & that’s not a typo. So what’s happening now? The most zealously green govts on earth are turning to that remarkable new renewable energy source… COAL! For real.
2) Here where the buffalo roam, Biden is trying to regulate (and legislate) America away from oil, while simultaneously begging the Saudis to increase oil production– to save our economy (& Biden’s adz). How green is THAT overall? We cut oil consumption here, while asking the Saudis to make up the difference & SELL it back to us. (California does the same thing with electricity– replaces all the electricity it lost by running PG&E out of business by importing electricity from surrounding states.)
3) And guess what else? U.S. consumption of coal this year is up 22%! Biden has done more for the coal industry than poor Trump ever did.
4) However, China just announced that it will be building more windmill energy farms and mandating solar panels in all new construction, plus the CCP is investing heavily in thermal energy generation, and… that’s all nonsense I made up for my own amusement.
What China has ACTUALLY done (& quite recently) is to announce that it plans to build additional NEW coal-powered plants, & that as a result it won’t be able to meet its announced targets for reducing emissions. For the first time ever, N. Korea is now exporting coal to China, too.
How many green new deal advocates know any of that? Green energy: It. Just. Doesn’t. Work.
All this has implications for investors!
#62, Wes, so I take it that you don’t believe that former Chief Justice Beasley is an A-lister? I didn’t think that she was, but it’s good to hear that a North Carolinian agrees with me.
BTW, it’s certainly possible that, after the NC legislature approves new congressional district maps, one or more of the displaced Democrat congressmen run for the Senate instead. Personally, I think that would be to the GOP’s benefit, since if, for example, Manning didn’t run in a redrawn Guilford County CD, it would make it even easier for the GOP to pick it up, and it’s not as if Manning would be a world-beater running statewide.
Democrats should give family values Cal another shot.
62 Wes
Same thing with the DEMs & recruiting a candidate for the open Senate seat in MO.
There’s only one formidable DEM left in MO– former Gov. Jay Nixon, and he said quote, “I’d like to help you, son, but you’re too young to vote.”
So now, the DEMs in MO are left with a bunch of some dudes, as they say at RRH.
Beasley did well in her race because Democrats worked furiously to get her retained for a full term, Meldrim, but even with the man who appointed her on the ballot, she lost. Of course the far-left politics of the NCSC had a role in that as Republicans swept the judicial races–the one place besides the governorship where Dems have made gains against the GOP here since 2010–in 2020.
She couldn’t get her vote out in a closely divided state with Cooper and Biden both on the ticket. With Biden’s approval plummeting both here and nationally, I see no scenario where Beasley can even come close in the 2022 Senate race, especially since the GOP will be eager to tie her to the Court’s numerous unpopular decisions since 2019.
The Senate proved elusive to Nixon in two cycles–1988 and 1998–where Democrats actually did well, Mnw. Now, decades on with the aftermath of Ferguson as a talking point against him in a Dem midterm, he probably decided to finish his career on a win rather than a loss.
Part of me regrets he won’t have to concede a Senate race a third time though.
Beasley did a lot of damage while in office.
No argument here, Phil. Of course NC Republicans did that to themselves by not taking the judicial races during the 2010s seriously while focusing on everything else. That resulted in an extremely liberal 6D-1R NCSC by 2019. Had the GOP taken the judicial races in 2014, 2016, and 2018 as seriously as they took all the non-judicial races, then when Beasley replaced Martin, she wouldn’t have had a majority to back up her extreme liberalism.
CNN reports today that Biden’s JA is tied 50/50.
Economist/YouGov reports today that the generic party preference is D+8.
I believe I recall reading that YouGov uses a mix of polling + some kind of panel they select themselves.
For some reason, Asa Hutchinson (R?-AR) will let the state redistricting bill become law without his signature. Republicans have decided to draw a map that will boost the most marginal Republican in the ARCD, French Hill, and ensure Republicans are likely to keep complete control of the delegation for the full decade.
I don’t get it. Hutchinson can’t possibly have a problem with a map that keeps Dems out of power in the ARCD.
Didn’t CNN say “50 is the new 60” when Biden took office with middling approval ratings, Mnw?
Wes, the congressional redistricting map approved by the Arkansas legislature splits Little Rock’s Pulaski County three ways while improving the GOP vote percentage in the AR-02 only marginally. Hutchinson had warned against splitting Pulaski three ways and presumably doesn’t want his name attached to such plan. What AR Republicans should have done is attach Pulaski to the most heavily Republican suburban and rural counties in the vicinity and in the northern tier of the state (avoiding, e.g., Faulkner County), which would have improved the Trump percentage in the AR-02 by more than in the approved plan while eliminating the argument that Republicans “split Little Rock three ways to dilute the black vote.” The AR-02 is not a VRA district, and I don’t believe that the Pulaski precincts placed in adjoining CDs are heavily black (or even within the Little Rock city limits), but I consider the new AR congressional map both a missed opportunity and an unforced error.

Seattle school cancels Halloween over ‘equity,’ says Black kids don’t celebrate
Bull dinky! AA celebrate Halloween! I’ve had AA kids come to my home in a number of areas I lived grubbing for sweets. To say AA don’t celebrate Halloween is BS! As a child, I went door to door grubbing for treats with my darker skinned companions in the bee-yoo-tee-ful city of Newark.
Also, canceling Halloween is an affront to gays as it is the only official holiday that gays look forward to each year.
Halloween in the adult gay community is better known as “National Drag Day” and when gay men crowd the streets in outings from San Francisco to NYC by the thousands in heels, dresses, and wigs cemented in style with Aquanet, the only day of the year stores run low on it.
Many gays spend months designing their outfit and prepping for this one night to be all they can be.
The San Francisco events gathers hundreds of thousands annually. It’s a mad house and you can barely (or bearly in some cases) move.
Stop the anti-gay hate!!! Bring back Halloween!

Hardly.
They had him at 52% in mid September which was also post Afghanistan. Inflated in September and inflated in October…and still dropped. Oh yeah. Party ID in this one is D+6. Is that reasonable? Again, hardly. It was D+1 on Election Day 2020 according to the exits.
CNN with a gas light poll. Who knew? Look folks. Biden with a majority favorable.
Laughable.
I’m not noted around here for my rose colored glasses and optimism regarding Republican prospects. That’s an understatement…….so you can trust me when I say that this poll is a steaming pile of horse sh*t.
#86, Wes, I see that the sexual-abuse allegations against Dale Kildee seemed to have been memory-holed; hopefully this was because they were false and not because they were embarrassing to the Democrat Party.
MLive did not mention the accusations at all in its article regarding Kildee’s passing. This is what MLive was publishing ten years ago regarding Kildee: https://www.mlive.com/news/flint/2011/11/report_us_rep_dale_kildee_accu.html
Surely this means that, when Justices Thomas and Kavanaugh pass away (hopefully many decades from now), newspaper articles will report only positive things about them and would not dare mention that each had a woman who accused him of sexual harassment. (Yeah, right.)
I saw something I’ve never seen before today The U.S. post office where I live had a big plastic banner outside, over the main entrance, reading, “Now Hiring.”
Folks, those are decent paying jobs, not car wash jobs. And the federal govt has about the best benefits package there is– health insurance; 5% matching IRA contribution; no possibility of ever being laid off, etc.
People should be RACING down to apply for those post office jobs, but…this is all about the extended unemployment checks.

As I posted, I think YouGov isn’t a traditional poll– I think they mix in a panel with their polling sample somehow.

Can’t recall. I doubt you’ll be surprised to learn I only watch CNN at airport terminals, & sometimes I’ll leave the gate area just to get away from the communist squawk box.
I give the allegation against Kildee about as much credence as I give the allegations against Kavanaugh and Thomas, Meldrim; that is, none.
His nephew came forward in 2011 about things that had supposedly happened in 1961. I have a hard time believing the nephew would have waited all that time if Kildee had actually molested him–especially since Kildee had been in public office for decades at the time of the allegation.

Not a lie Bitter. You should know me better than that. How I know that is my business.
#97, Wes, the kid’s family (relatives of Kildee’s, who, when he was campaigning for Congress, let him stay in their basement in which their 12-year-old son slept) believed their son when he told him, while in jail in his late 30s, that Kildee had abused him sexually for five years and that that’s why he ended up so messed up. I share your apprehension of allegations that come decades later, but it wouldn’t be the first time that an abused child doesn’t come forward until much later (or that sexual abuse by a relative completely screws up his life). As I said initially, I hope that the reason why the allegations were not mentioned at all by MLive today is that it turned out that the allegations were false.

Jason is as frustrated as you, michael. I think that’s why he said he won’t even bother to vote. What’s the use. I said the same thing after the quasi election of 2020 but I backed off of that when the Texas legislature reinforced voter integrity in my state of Texas. I’ll now be voting since I’m confident my vote will count. Pennsylvania? What a joke. Expect thousands of mail in ballots to show up skirting voter ID safeguards and counted up to three days after the next election. They will know exactly how many votes they will need to win and simply manufacture them – just like 2020.
Yes, the Republican “leaders” in that state are spineless morons.
John Stossel wrote an excellent article titled “Let Life Resume”, here is a quote from it:
“Australia’s been almost that tough. They’ve also imposed curfews and arrested people for not wearing masks. In some places, police proudly announced they “smashed windows of people in cars and pull them out … because they weren’t telling us where they were going.”
Don’t worry about losing freedom, says Daniel Andrews, premier of the state of Victoria. “They’re not rules that are against you. They are rules for you.”

These countries can’t lock down forever. When the lockdowns stop, COVID-19 will return.

A handful of people every year still die of it.””

‘Los Angeles City Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas was indicted Wednesday on federal charges of taking bribes from a former USC dean in exchange for supporting millions of dollars in L.A. County contracts with the university when he was on the county Board of Supervisors.
A federal grand jury accused Ridley-Thomas of conspiring with Marilyn Louise Flynn, then dean of USC’s School of Social Work, to steer county money to the university in return for admitting his son Sebastian into graduate school with a full-tuition scholarship and a paid professorship.
The 20-count indictment alleges that Flynn and Ridley-Thomas also concocted a scheme to funnel $100,000 from one of his campaign committees through the university to a nonprofit where his son would work.
Ridley-Thomas, 66, one of the most powerful political figures in Los Angeles, and Flynn each face charges of conspiracy, bribery, mail and wire fraud.”

The R leaders are failing to see this because they are just dumb.
Yeah, I’m always amazed that some continue to poo poo the voting fraud that occurs and which absolutely was rampant in 2020. The Democrats did a great job of turning 2020 into the great pseudo election. Ballot chain of custody issues, Drop boxes in some states virtually unattended, waiving of signature verifications with mail in ballots, ballot harvesting, ballot deadlines thrown out…..just about everything you can think of to invite voter fraud you can possibly think of. Oh, and my favorite, Nevada where ballots were mailed out to everyone, old addresses and all. The ballot process in Clark County was an absolute joke….and then there was the clown show in Georgia where they mysteriously just kept finding more and more ballots in Fulton County days after Election Day unti Biden got the lead.
Is it a coincidence that one party was all in on trying to nationally codify this garbage? Is it a coincidence that Democrats made HB1 their first piece of legislation once they got control of Congress? The fit Democrats threw when they didn’t get their way on that tells you all you need to know. No, it wasn’t infrastructure that Democrats attempted to move first. It was “voting reform”
They came within one vote on the filibuster of moving their voter fraud bill. Let that soak in.

I am a fan of many of the black TV shows of the 70s as well as the black exploitation action films of that same era – like who doesn’t love Shaft or Blacula, right?
I have been known to support black causes, and
I have felt outraged by racism and inequities against blacks, for example from Mitt Romney’s 47% comment in 2012 and when Vanessa Williams had to relinquish her Miss America title in the 80s.

MOYNIHAN: INFLATION ISN’T TEMPORARY, IT’S PERMANENT
NYC
Are you as ready for the regular season to start as I am? The Blues have looked intriguing in the preseason, it must be admitted. Knock wood.
On another topic:
I believe that Psaki will soon announce that inflation is being caused by the unvaccinated.
I finally finished watching Hiroshi Inagaki’s Samurai Trilogy–Musashi Miyamoto, Duel at Ichijoji Temple, and Duel at Ganryu Island–a sprawling epic about the author of The Book of Five Rings based on one of the bestselling novels originally written in Japanese.
In the narrative, following the Battle of Sekigahara, a young warrior becomes singularly devoted to life as an itinerant ronin despite attracting the attention of two beautiful women, one of whose story becomes particularly tragic because of her unrequited love for him. Toshiro Mifuni of Seven Samurai fame is compelling in his most popular role not associated with iconic director Akira Kurosawa.
Acting is superb. Characterization is solid. Feudal Japan is portrayed realistically without the idealism Western culture often gives it with many samurai acting like louts during the course of the story, one even raping a woman because of her alliance with another man. The world feels authentic, and camera angles and lighting underscore the narrative. One minor flaw from my perspective is the cluttered attempt toward the end of the first movie to set up multiple plot threads in the second, though this may be a sign of Japanese storytelling and stem from the episodic serial nature of the novel.
The trilogy climaxes beautifully with the titular duel in the third movie occurring on a beach at sunset with the victor immediately unclear at its conclusion. Musashi has completed his Campbellian Hero’s Journey and is now ready to both become and fully embrace his status as Japan’s greatest warrior. It’s a remarkable series with fully fleshed characters and an authentic feeling background that both compliments and underscores the actions of the characters.
It may be one of the finest series of movies ever made.
I saw a Japanese film I really liked: “Departures” (2008). It was the first Japanese film to win an Academy Award for Best Foreign Film.
But… there are no duels.
Actually it would be the second, Mnw. Musashi Miyamoto (1954) won the 1955 Oscar for Best Foreign Film.
Then the Wiki entry for “Departures” is in error.
Or, as posters here prefer to say, “Wiki lied!”
Wes
On further reflection, the name of the award in questionwas changed not too long ago from Best Foreign Language Film to Best Foreign Film.
That probably explains the discrepancy.

A new Washington Post/ABC News poll finds that a majority of Americans disapprove of the job President Joe Biden is doing on immigration — as illegal border crossings smash records.”
It is clear Biden’s coronavirus policy is based on politics, and not advice of independent medical experts. His push for booster shots is an example: it appears to be an attempt to show the public that he is taking action — despite the question if boosters shots would really be beneficial at this point. Likewise, Biden is attempting to scapegoat the unvaccinated, and blame them for his failure to successfully address the epidemic.
“the White House and its top medical advisers announced sweeping plans to offer boosters to nearly all adults, citing signs of waning protection and the then-surging delta variant. But they were rebuffed by many experts who said little data shows whether such broad use would stop breakthrough infections or curb the overall trajectory of cases.”

Over at RRH they’re cackling with delight at some poll showing Sinema losing a hypothetical DEM primary in AZ to someone named Gallegos (I think that’s the name) by a better than 3-1 margin.
When I posted that I believe that poll is likely accurate, & that means Sinema needs to switch parties SOON, because she has no future as a DEM, they were horrified– explained to me that her pro-choice record & her 2 votes to impeach Trump mean she could NEVER win a GOP primary in AZ. Out of the question!
I notice all the people at RRH explaining passionately why Sinema is a non-starter in the GOP are… Democrats. I think they’re whistling past the cemetery.

Note to self educate fascists on Covid vaccines and civil rights.
In the past 2 years:
1. Roughly 25,000 people in US died of AIDS, the vast majority of them gay men, approximately at 70% based on consistent annual infection rates of HIV. That comes out to about .35% of adult gay male population, meaning 99.65% of gay men did NOT die of AIDS related illness.
2. Roughly 700,000 people in US died of Covid. That comes out to be about .33% of adult population, meaning 99.67% of adults did NOT die of Covid.
3. Roughly 960,000 people in the US died from smoking related illnesses. That comes out to about .49% of adult population, meaning 99.51% adults did NOT die from smoking.
4. Roughly 600,000 people in the US died from obesity related illnesses. That comes out to about .29% of the adult population, meaning 99.71% of adults did NOT die from obesity.
Now aren’t these telling simple based statistics.
A gay adult male has a slightly higher chance dying of AIDS then Covid the last two years.
You’re more likely to die from smoking than Covid the last two years.
Your about equally likely to die from obesity as from Covid the last two years.
Hmm…
Should we be requiring HIV passports to reduce the transmission of AIDS? After all, if you restrict the activities of gay men with HIV, then we should be able to significantly reduce transmission.
Should we restrict overweight people room eating out in order to save their lives?
Should we ban cigarettes to save the lives of smokers?
Just some thoughts fir those that think it’s ok for businesses to restrict the rights of unvaccinated folks.
Two new polls in VA tonight:
Trafalgar has it tied 50/50.
FOX News has it 51-46 McAuliffe
Hello, mnw. The Fox News polls are not known for accuracy, no?
Hi, Chicon
Good to see u again.
The FOX polls haven’t been GOP-friendly in a long time. That’s my impression, anyway.
Never bother Biden during nap time, he gets petulant:
@JackPosobiec
“Asleep thru entire ceremony, and kept nodding off during reception. Jill takes a stern, caretaker tone with him when he’s groggy. He decided he wasn’t going to eat what the chef had prepared and only wanted capriottis.”
164. By contrast Nate Silver rated Trafalgar A-, and found it was the second most accurate poll in 2020.
168. The most accurate poll in 2020 according to Nate Silver was AtlasIntel. Trafalgar was 2nd.
When a Fox poll shows a Republican ahead,get up early to watch the sun rise in the West
This is the real issue Trump should be talking about in his melodrama over the 2020 election:
https://nypost.com/2021/10/13/mark-zuckerberg-spent-419m-on-nonprofits-ahead-of-2020-election-and-got-out-the-dem-vote/
It’d be nice if Trump would highlight this and urge Republicans to find a way to combat it rather than continually trying to litigate a long-lost race.
So, transportation hack, butttplugg, is on leave while the shelves go bare and the ports are backed up.
Would be nice if the Failed R leadership scalp Buttplug.
But too busy I guess. Buttplug should have never been confirmed to this position,
Thank you R leadership for helping to confirm
Commie Garland.
Lisa Monaco
Buttplug
And many others.
The entire vbm covd scam,imposed by branches of government not being the Legislature,has to be vocally addressed.
Trump is right in pointing out the deafening silence of most republican ” leadership” on this,or ot will be repeated.
The r leadership stupidly thinks the “vbm issue” will go away since Trump is gone.
It’s fraud on steroids. And needs to be addressed ASAP.
Fox polls ALWAYS skew left – both national and state. Always. Missed badly in both 2016 and 2020 nationally. Had Biden winning by 8 nationally and 3 in Ohio (He lost Ohio by over 8) Lol Other examples? Well, here’s a couple of doozies. Had Donnelly winning his senate seat in Indiana (11 points off) and McCaskell winning narrowly her senate seat in Mo (she lost by 7)
The problem according to Baris is in their samples. They don’t get anywhere near enough rural vote. They are lazy pollsters Independents in rural areas are more conservative than suburban and urban indies and it takes more calls to properly get them. They get their quota of indies as well as partisans from more populated areas and then just cease calling. It takes more targeted polling and they just don’t do the work. Requires more calls.
Fox state polls are abysmal.
McAuliffe isn’t up 5 points in Virginia. Trust me. Is he running like he’s 5 points ahead? Uh, no.
My guess is it’s really close. Probably a one or two point race. If anyone here wants to make a little wager on the accuracy of the Fox Va poll I will happily take them up on it.
….and Tina is absolutely right about the VBM. It’s a huge problem for the GOP. It has taken Nevada and probably Pa off the table.
Illinois Democrats are unveiling their new redistricting map today and it is as expected eliminating two Republican seats. Republicans lose 2 seats and Democrats gain one. Illinois lost one seat with the latest census.
Oh, one of the Republicans losing his seat will be Kinzinger. No loss there. Democrats thank him for carrying their water. LOL

Note to self to send Memo to HHR and school them on election fraud.
Clueless posters still think we need to move on from the 2020 election fraud and it will just magically disappear by being “nicer” to attract suburban women voters.
These posters think like the woke bureaucrats who believe if you just get the jab and wear a mask, Covid will magically disappear or if you give him to the radicals they will be satisfied and not seek further radical changes.
Really a lack of understanding of what the underlying causes of the events and politics and why the significant majority of the GOP and large section of independents still believes the election was fraudulent.

This is about journalism:
USA Today has a superb story up about the collapse of the Surfside condo building. It’s old-fashioned investigative reporting, involving a team of reporters working for months.
But when was the LAST time we saw anything similar, anywhere?
Here’s a nutshell version of the Surfside story: Mexican money launderers, working on behalf of the cartels, colluded with the owners from the gitgo. When a builder is in bed with organized crime, they all steal every place they can, including via shoddy construction.
I didn’t know any of that. Journalism the way it used to be.
Surprised USA did any kind of real investigation, my view of them is that they just regurgitate left wing talking points from other sources.
Do you have a link? I would like to read it.

You obviously didn’t read what the article I posted said, Tina. That’s not surprising because anything you can comprehend says exactly one of two things:
1) Trump is infallible.
2) Every Republican other than Trump is an incompetent imbecile who enables Democrats.
When Zuckerberg–a left-wing multi billionaire–literally dumped a fortune into the election processes of several key states Trump lost narrowly, there you have a major reason–if not the determinative one–why Trump lost.
Let’s make this into a sideshow with interminable audits, the first of which just failed spectacularly to show fraud. Meanwhile, Zuckerberg and his liberal cronies will repeat the process in 2024. Then Trump can lose again to a guy who has as much business in the White House as Christine O’Donnell had winning a Senate nomination.
After all, it’s more important to have Trump be in the headlines pushing audits that are bearing no fruit than to have Trump maybe address a major underlying cause of his defeat–and make sure the Democrats and their liberal plutocrat allies can’t do it again.
That’s not as self-gratifying as stroking Trump’s ego though, so obviously it won’t happen.
Wes, I did not see your comment. My reply was to Tgca.
Arizona is the only state that has done a partial audit (Maricopa county specifically.) They found plenty there. No state has done a full forensic audit.
We need to look at vbm (my original post) and Cuckberger’s shenanigans.
Vbm won’t fix itself.
With that said leadership needs to be more proactive.
R leadership just flat out sucks right now,
Hopefully, there are changes.

The behavior of Corbett and the Republican legislature is the issue.
They didn’t do what was needed.
You finally caught on a decade later…….once again, later than I did. Not bragging, just fact.
I’m sorry then, Tina. I assumed you were responding to me and sarcastically implying I was saying Republicans don’t actually need to address election issues when in fact I was saying the GOP needs to be aware of what Zuckerberg and his ilk did last year and work aggressively to combat such shenanigans in upcoming elections.

I thought liberals were supportive of women’s rights. I guess not when sexual predators claim to be transgender to facilitate rape.
The country is in a supply chain crisis. Pete Buttigieg took time off to bond with a baby he didn’t give birth to.
The Biden Administration makes the Carter Administration look competent by comparison.
Atlas must shrug at some point. Biden is a disaster creating ever expanding crises as President. I hope all those Wokesters in the suburbs finally wake up in the upcoming elections and realize this man has no business in the White House.
What do I know? Liberals on RRH are assuring us Democrats will suffer no blowback at all for how horrendously Biden is running the country.
“Here’s a nutshell version of the Surfside story: Mexican money launderers, working on behalf of the cartels, colluded with the owners from the gitgo.”
Similar to the story from about 1996 when corruption in Illinois involved getting trucker licenses for drivers who did not know English, and so when the trucker was on I-94 near the IL/WI border, and had a piece of pipe dangling off the back of his trailer, other truckers tried to warn the driver, but he didn’t know English, and so the pipe fell off, a minivan full of six kids ran over it, which punctured the gas tank, and the six kids were instantly incinerated, and the parents escaped with severe burns.
DW,
There is a shortage of trailer drivers in this country. I can say, without a doubt, there are still language barriers among the ones who are getting licenses today.
That is besides the fact that 1/2 of them are inept at backing into a dock, which is a whole other issue.
#210 – you must really tell some good stories when working.
Nothing compared to the stories you tell on here about not supporting Schumer, your actions be damned, Mikey.

COVID-19 Exposes the Racist Side of Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding is one of the defining acts of motherhood—and it is also one of the most controversial. Popular wisdom about its benefits differs drastically when mom is Black from when she is White. These differences represent a longstanding racial gap in breastfeeding rates that has become even more dangerous in the time of Covid-19.
A long history of discouraging Black women from breastfeeding has made their infants more vulnerable to the current formula shortage.

VA-Guv:
I don’t know what it means, but one of the mods at RRH points out that VA early voting is down very dramatically from 2020 on the same date.
Early in-person voting is down from 706k in 2020 to 252k in 2022.
Early mail-in voting is down from 565k in 2020 to 144k in 2022.
My only observation is that it may indicate that interest in the election is down overall, which MIGHT benefit Youngkin.
IF it indicates that a higher percentage of voters are waiting to vote on 11/2, obviously that would benefit Youngkin.
Any time mail-in voting is down, that’s likely good for the GOP, as of late.

Predictit has Youngkin back down to 25%, the Fox poll showing McAuliffe ahead by 11 among RVs is now part of Silverhack’s average. Silverhack lists both (RV and LV) in his average, yes, you can’t make this sh-t up.
The Trafalgar poll showing Youngkin up by 1 so far has not changed anything.
My number for investing is 4-1. If it gets down to that again I will bet $800.
Did I miss something? I thought the new Oak Island episodes started in November.
I am not crazy about Bigfoot. The script does not change. The most exciting thing that happens is when someone howls into the night or knocks on a tree, followed by silence and then someone says “hey, did you hear that”?
At least on Oak Island they find shards of pottery and buttons and coins and pieces of tunnels previous treasure hunters built.

P.S. For those who think inflation is an equal opportunity employer, “the rich” can buy natural gas equities & futures. Joe Sixpack?… not so much.

I don’t completely disbelieve Bigfoot, hard to imagine the thousands of people who have seen one are all frauds.
But it bothers me there is not one Bigfoot bone to be found.
I know, bones are elusive for a very rare creature. PA has at least 25,000 bears, thousands probably die of natural causes, and in years of stomping through the woods I never saw bear bones, Actually bones of any kind are hard to find, even deer. So if Bigfoots bury their dead, it could make sense you wouldn’t find any bones.
Let’s say I don’t believe they exist, but I don’t disbelieve either. Sue me.

The systemic white RACIST justice system is trying to bring down another one of my fellow AA brethren because they hate seeing us black people succeed.
White folk are inherently RACIST – think Mitt Romney and his 47% comment.
The white folk don’t understand that an AA gay man, a professional actor, acting out what he believes was an injustice to him by RACIST white Trump supporters is seen differently by us black folks than the “white rules” forced on a society that discriminates against black and brown people.
The fact that Jussie made up this tale is not the point. The point is he was illustrating what could have happened to him on that night in Chicago by rabidly RACIST Trump supporters and he was displaying his creative talent to make a point about systemic racism and social injustices and now they’re trying to prosecute him on a technicality for lying and concocting a story. People lie all the time to the FBI and police. Think of any white politician and all those white girls looking for some fun with a black man until her friends and family find out and they cry rape.
Notice Andrew McCabe lied and concocted stories and the FBI did not prosecute him or hold him accountable and restored his benefits in full.
This is why we must FREE Jesse from the injustices of the systemic RACIST white justice system.
As a black man, I ask people set aside their inherent bigotry and stand with me and seek Justice for Jussie!

Every once and awhile, it would be announced at a meeting that some white supremacist had just been released from prison– that was about the extent of domestic terrorism interest as of 5 years ago.

You suggested the better comparison for early voting in VA would be to compare EV this year to 2017, not to 2020, recall?
I don’t know whether this is true, but someone at RRH posted that EV this year is down 34% from EV on this same date in 2017.

‘Watergate sleuth Carl Bernstein says supporters of former President Donald Trump need to be investigated as part of a broader examination beyond the Capitol riot.”
Trump got 75 million votes, plus he probably has supporters that didn’t vote.
This is going to be a major investigation.
Actually, since they are going to investigate everyone who deposits $600 or more into their bank account, investigating 75 million Trump voters won’t be that much of an adjustment.

The Buttigieg Scandal is much worse than people even realize. Not only was a Cab Secy on secret leave during a nat’l crisis impacting MILLIONS for which he had prime responsibility, but Biden evidently failed to appoint an Acting Secretary.

Yeah we don’t want people like this as state troopers.
“This is my final sign-off after 22 years serving the citizens of the state of Washington, I’ve been asked to leave because I am dirty,’ the officer began.
‘Numerous fatalities, injuries, I’ve worked sick, I’ve played sick, buried lots of friends over these years.
‘I’d like to thank you guys, as well as the citizens of Yakima County as well as my fellow officers within the valley. Without you guys I wouldn’t have been very successful.’
He continued: ‘You’ve kept me safe and got me home to my family every night. Thank you for that. I wish I could say more, but this is it.
‘So State 1034 this is the last time you’ll hear me in a state patrol car… And Jay Inslee can kiss my a**.’
The officer received a response from the radio operator thanking him for his years of loyal service and listing off a list of accomplishments.
She said: ‘1034 thank you for your 22 years of service to the citizens of Washington State.
‘You’ve taken on many roles in your time with the patrol. In your first year, you delivered a baby while on patrol. You’ve been a theory instructor and part of the chaplaincy board.
‘You’ve been a great role model and a mentor for all the young troopers serving in the area by sharing your knowledge and experience throughout the years.
‘Thank you for your service.’
I’ve been keeping an eye out on the UK case numbers over the last months. Their new Covid cases are now running over 45K a day during the last week. That would be equal to about 200K a day in the US given the differences in population between the two nations. IHME which has been right on the money over the last year in its projections, forecasts an almost doubling of cases in the UK by mid December.
Why is this significant to the US? It is important because the UK is significantly more vaccinated than the US….and look what is happening.
The vaccines won’t save the Biden administration on this. They aren’t in any way the magic bullet that was promised.
You cannot find anything on the shelves because the economy is so awesome.

“A 35-year-old man in Pennsylvania is facing rape and assault charges after a woman was sexually assaulted on board a public transit train Wednesday night as riders witnessed the attack but did not intervene, authorities said on Friday.
The woman was assaulted at around 11 p.m. while riding the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) Market-Frankford line towards the town of Upper Darby.
“The assault was observed by a SEPTA employee, who called 911, enabling SEPTA officers to respond immediately and apprehend the suspect in the act,” Andrew Busch, a SEPTA spokesperson, said in a statement”
#293 ive heard that the reason you cannot get helped in hospitals, “the bed shortage due to covid”, is actually due to a lack of staff. they have beds, they don’t have staff because many nurses are sitting out, the older ones, and the younger ones can get better working conditions elsewhere.

Note to self to send to HHR to warn of Septa.
Rode Septa once. Philly station at Broad was putrid and filthy. Walked by it a number of times and it’s littered with foul smelling people sitting outside it. I could have sworn flies were swirling around that station like flies on chit or maybe it was just a typical summer day in Philly.
NYC subways may be old and dingy looking but never saw that level of filth in main midtown or downtown stations. Every larger city has a few dirty stations but you would expect the most used locations would be safer and cleaner.
Why can’t they just level Philly to the ground and rebuild it again and get rid of the filth and decay?
The Founding Fathers would roll over in their graves if they saw Philly today. Ben Franklin would probably relocate to a picturesque city in the south.
Good thing they moved the US Capitol or the US would have one of the worst capitols in the world.
41% approval of Biden handling the economy.
WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE SMOKING?
–unemployment down–ONLY BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE ARE LEAVING THE WORKFORE IN DROVES!
–Expected job creation of 500,000 people only comes in last month at 165,000 or some such.
–INFLATION GALLOPING AT HISTORIC RATES!
–Wages UP–but due to inflation, the worker is taking home LESS MONEY!
–SUPPLY CHAIN COLLAPSE and bare shelves!
–etc.
–and wait till the $3.5 Trillion social welfare passes leading to tons of higher taxes on gas, energy production, food, and everything else!
Cow
RE: INFLATION GALLOPING AT HISTORIC RATES!
We all know about food and energy. But wait, there’s more!
RENT! Up .5% in Sept. & .3% in August. “Rent” (housing cost) makes up appx 1/3 of the CPI.
So, food, gasoline, heating oil, natural gas… and RENT.
There used to be a commonplace saying that voters make up their minds sitting around the kitchen table, talking about their personal financial situation– “kitchen table issues.”
Are you better or worse off now than you were when Biden took office?
#306. Phil,
The most highly vaccinated countries, the UK, Israel, and the U.S., have the highest rate of breakthrough cases. In the states it appears to follow a similar ratio, with Vermont being the highest vaccinated state and now experiencing a big surge in breakthrough COVID. In the meantime, places like India, Japan and Mexico, with lower vaccination rates are doing much better. Florida, now, has the 3rd lowest infection rate, validating the guidance given by DeSantis.
Cash cow, all good points about how much our economy has fallen under Biden. I think, though, people are blinded by their loyalty to their party affiliation, which is why his numbers aren’t much lower.
Note to self on supply chain issues.
I’m seeing lotsa empty shelves or out-of-stock items on store shelves whether it be Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s or Publix.
Not as bad as when we are expecting a direct hit hurricane or the 1st few weeks of the China lab pandemic in March 2020 but unusual to the point I’ve never seen this before with signs on the shelves either limiting to how much you can purchase or apologies for supplier issues while the homo Trans Cabinet Secretary is nowhere to be found on paternity leave bottle feeding newborns and hanging in hospital beds taking selfies as if he’s birthed the little critters himself.
My biggest fear is going to Whole Foods and finding a sign on the tofu shelf apologizing for being out of stock.
I could not imagine a time of crisis in our country where a cabinet Secretary goes on extended leave. Perhaps Mayor Butt should be asked to step aside and let a real woman do the job, as often women leaders balance child rearing with their career.

Note to self to EDUMACATE HHR on Septa station entrances in Philly.
I took Septa from downtown Philly to airport once. Filthy dirty smelly downtown station entrance. Derelicts hanging outside fouling up the air. I wanted to fumigate myself after passing by. It smelled like a dirty public urinal.
Septa could learn a great deal from other cities and how they keep their locations somewhat clean. Stations in major cities like NY, DC, SF, LA… much much cleaner than Philly Septa.
Maybe you should learn it is called SEPTA. You took the Yellow Line. Has a stop on University of Pennsylvania campus. I did not say SEPTA is cleaner than other transit systems. It is not. But you are exaggerating to impress people who want to hate Philadelphia as much as you do.
My most-hated transit system is the DC Metro. It always seems like a zombie attack is imminent. It is dark and often abandoned.
Memo to self to remind stoopid people at HHR that others know that capitalized acronyms are used for most municipal systems but folks using the internet know it doesn’t always punctuate, capitalize, spell, or use grammar as intended, and some of us are too damn lazy on Sunday to make the effort in an informal setting.
Maybe it should be renamed SEPTIC instead of SEPTA, as that appears more appropriate for a filthy smelly transit system. Even Newark Penn is much cleaner and smells better than the whiff you get walking by the Philly stations both SEPTIC and underground stations that smell like portable potties walking into them.

I’m not sold on Youngkin’s ability to run ahead of TMac simply because NoVA is heavily populated with the same kinds of people who would willingly vote for a corrupt child molester over a Republican as live in the Sewer State, but Youngkin is in the position to win there of any Republican since Bob McDonnell in 2009.

None of the above diminish what he accomplished in life, but he was a political disappointment over the last decade and a half.
Just one man’s opinion.
RIP

Powell was selectively conservative. He was a social liberal and I saw a quote from 2014 where he says he is still a Republican and suggests he could fit in both parties but the GOP needs him more than the Dems need him though in the last 4 elections he supported and voted for the radical Dems that have had a major negative impact on our country.
That’s NOT conservative!
He lied to the world about WMDs. In retrospect, I do not believe he was naive enough to believe all the misleading intelligence we later learned about but that he was instead part of the collaborated effort that started an unnecessary war, even if he went so reluctantly.
He also was a bigot against gays and felt they should not be in the active military and used the same arguments that people made against blacks serving in the military. He further argued being gay was a choice when that was not the same for AA even though the science of the times was clear of the genetic link and the bogus choice argument. Who in their right mind would ever choose to be gay back then?
He also said he saw nothing wrong with General Mundy comparing gays to the KKK, Nazis and rapists during the DADT discussions.
So for me, Powell was no conservative and failed to recognize that he was a hypocrite on gays vs AA discrimination. I get he was a different generation and upbringing but then that same excuse should apply to those that felt that AA could not serve in an integrated military as well, and we should not malign those as bigots of their time which the AA community often does.
So though I respect his military service, I’m no fan of him with respect to conservatism, decisions of what constitute moral character, and the Iraq wars.

With respect to claiming Powell was of one of the left’s useful Republicans, it would then be fair to argue he was also the GOPs token AA Republican. Many in the GOP knew of his liberal leanings but were all too happy to have Powell as part of the GOP national face to fend off the characterization of the GOP being an all white party.
Powell was the typical good respected soldier who followed orders and played the game well and that helped him in his career immensely, and he can’t be faulted for that because that’s just part of the military advancement structure.
I doubt very much if Powell did not have some of those “conservative” values he would be anyone of consequence in US history because I doubt he would have been chosen by GOP leaders as someone to elevate. In the 80s and 90s, the GOP was desperate to change the face of the GOP due to changing times so Powell was the right man at the right time. Nothing wrong with that but again, he was hardly what many would deem a true conservative and the GOP was just fine with that at the time.

Note to self.
Dr Fow-chee is getting desperate. Refuses to admit that all these breakout cases are not the result of the unvaccinated. More and more studies are showing natural immunity is as good or better then the vaccine immunity which is showing to be much less beneficial than originally thought.
More and more reports are showing the vaccinated are out there infecting one another because they’re under the false impression they’re protected from the significantly underperforming vaccine.
Dr. Fow-chee is digging himself deeper in a hole by now stating conspiracy theories about why his popularity has significantly waned. He won’t admit he has anything to do with that.
He is refusing to accept the science and keeps saying stoopid chit like the vaccinated should be allowed to go and celebrate the holidays while the unvaccinated refrain from it after just a few weeks earlier saying the opposite and that during the pandemic he feels comfortable mandating rules on society when he specifically argued against such rules at the height of the pandemic last year.
He is not following the science! He’s desperately trying to cover up his numerous incorrect assessments that have not panned out. He is highly incompetent and making matters worse. He should be removed from his role but he won’t. Thankfully, time will reflect very badly on this idiot.
He got schooled by Senator Rand Paul who has the current science backing him up when all Dr. Fow-chee does is try to deflect and cry about theories ofbwhy people don’t like him anymore.

336–Cow, similarly, something must be done to stop the dangerous levels of dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) in people’s homes, places of business and even recreational areas. Minorities are most adversely affected as the rich can afford to avoid DHMO.
Inhalation of even trace amounts can bring about severe coughing, and breathing in higher levels of DHMO causes complete lung function failure, resulting in sudden death.
Skin tissue can be severely damaged by exposure to solidified DHMO and of course minorities are at much greater risk, being less able to avoid the dangers of solidified DHMO.
When DHMO undergoes rapid vaporization, there are grave dangers to humans who may come into contact with it. The hazards vary from minor to severe loss of skin tissue, to the possibility of amputation in more severe exposures.
And yet the Democrats in power do nothing to stop the proliferation of DHMO. It remains legal and unregulated.

“i think most blacks would vote for the first black president, at least in 2008

Yes, he cared more about race than he did policies. And doubled down on that 4 years later.
But he also never really articulated any conservative policies he supported that I remember. He was more of a “neo-con” interventionist if anything but seemed down-the-line leftist on all other issues.

i think most blacks would vote for the first black president, at least in 2008

Nah, that dog won’t hunt. Sure most blacks vote Democrat.
But Powell would have to sell out all his principles to vote for Obama. Obama was weak on just about everything that Powell supposedly stood for, especially the military.
So Powell chose race over principle, let alone party.
For that reason I said the was ‘Black first”.
And btw, Powell openly declared he had left the R party, so he wasn’t even a “nominal Republican’.
Mnw, I inferred (from the tweet) that it was March of 2020 (before shutdown due to covid). If it was a different time then he could be fine,
I could only remember stocks tanking feb/March of 2020.
UST IN – Chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, reportedly sold up to $5 million worth of stock right before the stock market suffered a significant drop (Prospect)
This is not necessarily “insider trading”, probably isn’t insider trading at all. Powell is worth $50 million and unless it could be proven that he used non-available information to sell his stock, he is entitled to trade at any time.
Normal, not only in Portland.
Doj releases video showing cops waving in the Maga grandparents on 1/6 (at least through this area).
Senator Johnson says that 300 folks came through this corridor and were waved through,
The issue is many were charged and pleaded guilty for parading. Doj appears to have hidden this video for obvious reasons. Looks like they should appeall.

‘According to the Daily Mail, a violent mob of about 100 “anarchists” began running wild through the city, vandalizing walls, smashing windows, and setting fires at around 10 pm last Tuesday night. This resulted in $500,000 worth of damage. Despite the overwhelming chaos, police report that they could only stand by and watch as their city fell to rioters as new laws tied their hands and prevented them from acting.’
In regard to Powell and his stock sales, it looks sleazy, just like it did for the ex-Georgia Senator.
She should have resigned and got out of the race, and Powell should step aside as well. Any other officeholder who sells and/or buys right before a big change in the market should come under intense scrutiny to resign the office.
If I was to become a representative, I would make all trades before taking my oath, and then only invest any savings accrued in US bonds.

A major GOP donor is using a PAC to finance a primary challenge to John Boozman (R-AR):
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/10/14/arkansas-senator-boozman-gop-megadonor-516043
Of course Boozman hails from the heart of the ARGOP–AR-3–while Bequette hails from Little Rock, which has comparatively few GOP primary voters. I’m not really sure about the point of this challenge.

Colin Powell played a key role driving us into one of the worst foreign policy blunders in History, but he also wrote an email worrying about a Hillary presidency because “Bill is still out there dicking bimbos”, so my feelings about his legacy are mixed.
Remember when I used to come here breathlessly to announce ever R retirement and then portray it as impending doom for the party.
I have evolved. I am glad the Democrats are renewing their ranks with young socialists.

The Dem deadenders are even lashing out at Schumer over at DKos.
“I have been of this mindset for at least the past 20 years. Where are the Dems with passion, chutzpah, and forcefulness? Where is the outrage over the condition Tramp left this country and our government in after totally screwing it up during his 4 years in office. Why aren’t any of the Dem congressional representatives screaming every day about how he sabotaged America, and continues to sabotage it daily?
Schumer needs to go! He is way too dry and passive. Garland needs to go! He is way too weak. His demeanor and persona scream weakness! The entire Dem party needs people who know how to market, sell, and articulate strong, progressive messages.
The Dems are much too polite and respectful. It’s time to take the gloves off and fight fire with fire!”
I have to disagree with the poster that Dems lack chutzpah, however.

Bitter is now reading the crime reports from York and Lancaster, in an effort to shore up his credentials as King of the False Equivalencies.
So far his has compared rape on public transportation witnessed by other riders who just stood by with a bear sighting in York.
Failing to find anything significant in York he moved east to another county and is trying to compare an isolated mall shooting with no fatalities with the daily carnage of shootings and murders in Philadelphia.
He has definitely shored up his credentials.
Btw, this map pretty much dispels any truth to Bitter’s contention that there is only crime in a few bad neighborhoods of Philly.

Wow…
Biden Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm: “We don’t have much moral authority” to call out Communist China.”
There is crime in every part of the city. The shootings/murders are mostly in a few neighborhoods in North Philadelphia, West Philadelphia, Logan (but not Logan Circle), Strawberry Mansion, Juniata, and Kensington (also has highest drug traffic and prostitution). My offer stands. I will drive Jason to tour all of these areas..
Most of the Amish have had Covid. Some died, it was the will of God, but not many.
They don’t wear masks, although some do at markets that sell to the English because they probably think the English expect it.
My offer stands. I will drive Jason to tour all of these areas..’
Sorry, I prefer to tour with someone with a realistic view of the situation.
Nothing personal.
The shootings/murders are mostly in a few neighborhoods in North Philadelphia, West Philadelphia, Logan (but not Logan Circle), Strawberry Mansion, Juniata, and Kensington”
A ‘few”neighborhoods in N. Philadelphia, a ‘few’ in W. Philadelphia, Logan, Strawbery Mansion, Juniata and Kensington. And probably a “few” more Bitter forgot about.
That is a lot of “fews”. And a lot of BS.
A Philly A-hole who is afraid of Philadelphia? Ironic. I thought a soldier would have more courage.
So, other than six neighborhoods, Philly is safe. Is that it? Just six?
To be fair, it looks like he listed about 25.
A Philly A-hole who is afraid of Philadelphia? Ironic. I thought a soldier would have more courage”
I didn’t say afraid. I said it was a crime infested, drug ridden, corrupt cesspool.
Chicon – I lived in Philadelphia between 1994 and 2002. I have worked in the City since 1994 (except for a year in Horsham and a few months in Bala Cynwyd but still went to courts in Philadelphia). I have never been threatened, harmed or felt unsafe in any neighborhood in the city. That includes the neighborhoods I named when I needed to meet with witness/investigate accidents.
See, I don’t believe in eating a worm infested apple on the theory some of it has fewer worms.
Zzzzzz… Bitter “lived” in Philly 20 years ago.
Of course he hasn’t noticed it might have changed, because he only parks there now and scurries into a building probably like a frightened rabbit.
Bitter’s “just a few” neighborhoods.
https://controller.phila.gov/philadelphia-audits/mapping-gun-violence/#/2021
I guess what I find surprising is that Jason fears the city. He is right that there are areas devastated by drugs. Like every part of the state, including York.
I fired a shotgun once at targets. Jason owns several guns but is afraid of Philadelphia.
‘there are areas”
LOL
Cousin of the “few”.
I guess what I find surprising is that Jason fears the city”
Zzzzzz….BS.
I grew up in much more challenging areas than where Bitter ‘lived” in Philadelphia. I am also 50 times more culturally adapted to survive in a bad area than he is.
I just point out that Bitter’s rosy and unrealistic view of Philadelphia is superficial and foolish and shows he lives close to the city but know very little about it.
Walt and WVAlly have been to Philadelphia and had lunch with me. Maybe they could hold Jason’s hand if he visits.
Jason is adapted to live in a bad area but won’t even have dinner in Philadelphia. What a badass.
I lived in the city from 1994 to 2002. You put “” around live for some reason. Do you want the address? I don’t think the current resident wants you stopping by. I will say it was on S. 18th Street.
And btw, pointing out York City has a drug problem does not offend me, just like Bitter should not be offended by the FACT Philadelphia is one of the most dangerous, high crime, high murder rate, high drug problem and politically corrupt cities in America.
I have been to Philly dozens of times.
It doesn’t change any of the facts.
Maybe jason thinks if he can scare me I will move to the middle of nowhere so I can be bored and live in fear like he does.
Bitter “lived” in Philly 20 years ago.
What a badass.
So you have been there at least 8000 fewer times than I have. Good to know. If it is so horrible, why did you come back after the first time?
FACT all of Bitter’s lies cannot hide.
July 23, 2021
“PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — As of Thursday, the number of homicide victims in Philadelphia this year is up to at least 314 people. That’s up 35% from this time last year.
Philadelphia now has the highest murder rate in the country per capita of the country’s 10 largest cities.”
You and your “” can GFY. I lived there.
If it is so horrible, why did you come back after the first time?”
Because, contrary to what you said, I am not “afraid” of going. I am used to traveling to high crime cities. I take normal precautions but I am not paranoid.
But again, this is not about me. My view doesn’t change the facts and neither do yours.
It is what it is. It is not what you say it is.
All right. Interesting argument Bitter and Jason have going here.
Maybe jason thinks if he can scare me”
Funny.
Nobody is trying to scare you.
Find a single post where I denied that there is a high murder rate in Philadelphia. You won’t. What your fear-filled mind can’t accept is that Rittenhouse Square is different than Kensington and that the corner of N. 23rd and Cecil B. Moore is different than the corner of Broad and E. Passyunk. You don’t know anything about the city so you reduce it all to a single terrible place your fear-filled mind can accept.
Does anyone beside Bitter really want to deny this statement?
“Philadelphia is one of the most dangerous, high crime, high murder rate, high drug problem and politically corrupt cities in America.”
I have never been a victim of crime in Philadelphia. How is that possible in such a terrible place?
Rittenhouse Square is different than Kensington”
Zzzzzzz…we are back to “Philly has some nice neighborhoods with lower crime rates than others”.
Nobody ever said otherwise.
Does it change:
“Philadelphia is one of the most dangerous, high crime, high murder rate, high drug problem and politically corrupt cities in America.”
Of course not.
Bitterlaw says:
October 18, 2021 at 8:45 pm
I have never been a victim of crime in Philadelphia. How is that possible in such a terrible place’?
This wins the “stupid argument of the month” hands down.
Philadelphia cannot be a high crime, drug ridden, politically corrupt cesspool, because somebody who lives in Radnor was not a victim of a crime in Philadelphia.
Does anybody really believe frightened Jason has been to Philadelphia dozens of times? If he has, he probably sat in a hotel room on Broad Street (maybe the Bellevue or Double Tree) and ordered room service or ate in the hotel restaurant.
Heh, funny from somebody who never goes anywhere.
8 1/2 years of living in Philadelphia. Working in Philadelphia Summers of 1991 and 1992. Since November of 2002, worked in the City or went to court there or went in for dining, museums, sporting events, etc. 300 days a year. You would think I would have been a crime victim at least once. I’m not armed. I should have been an easy target.
I just received my collection of 1930s Bela Lugosi serials. Unfortunately the collection didn’t include Return of Chandu (1934)–the serial I wanted most after The Phantom Creeps (1939). Instead, Raiders of Lost City, a 1944 serial starring Lionel Atwill was included. I don’t know if I should grouse or be happy I received a serial I would otherwise have had a hard time finding.
PS: I enjoy the nostalgic feel of those 1930s and 1940s serials as they often are quite similar to the pulp literature of the time I like to read.
Just a random rant I decided to make to break up the interminable Bitter-Jason fight.
I bet you can’t name a city anywhere in the world considered dangerous that I haven’t been to.
Can you say the same just because you are brave enough to scurry from your parking spot to your office building during broad daylight?
Wow, Bitter wasn’t robbed at a nice restaurant or a museum.
What a badass!
Let’s cut to the chase here.
“Philadelphia is one of the most dangerous, high crime, high murder rate, high drug problem and politically corrupt cities in America.”
True or false?
Good thing I don’t listen to Jason. I would have skipped going to places like Rome, Chicago, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. I really liked all of them.
Heh, like I ever told you not to go anywhere.
So, let’s just end this.
One word.
True or false?
The argument will be over whichever word you choose.
Ugh, Jason. I call BS on that. You and Bitter will never stop arguing.
True by statistics but not everywhere. So what? I’m not a pussy like you. I would not want to live embracing boredom because of fear like you do. I bet your old neighbors in Texas would feel sorry for you now.
A Philly A-hole afraid of Philadelphia? Never expected to see that.
True by statistics”

Wes – Halloween Kills was pretty good. It is funny to compare how much more frightening the original was with so few killings than this bloodbath.
1) True.
And just about every large city has nice neighborhoods and things to do without being the murder and drug and political corruption capital of the country.
2) False
Not sure about that. But I only speak for myself.
I didn’t move here for the climate history, excitement or school district. I figured I was close enough to DC, Baltimore, Philly, and NYC for culture however. Also, it is quite a beautiful area.
I’ve heard mixed reviews about it, Bitter. Basically the kills are cool, but the dialogue is horrible while the subtlety of the original is non-existent.
I haven’t seen it personally to judge yet.
Right after I post pictures of four hot women, Jason and Bitter go back to arguing.
Ay Dios Mio.
Whoop, Karyn is a contender.
No more argument.
I answered Bitter’s question.
He answered mine.
Interesting.

There are beautiful areas of Pennsylvania. For a weekend. After 2 days of trees and hills, it is time to leave. Same with lakes.
Jason prefers Baltimore to Philadelphia? Baltimore has a higher violent crime rate. And the Inner Harbor sucks.
So, Bitter, which Sinbad girl did you prefer?
Munro but I thought it was a weak field.
How do you consider a field both Caroline Munro and Jane Seymour are in weak?
Jason prefers Baltimore to Philadelphia? Baltimore has a higher violent crime rate. And the Inner Harbor sucks.”
How do you get that from:
” I was close enough to DC, Baltimore, Philly, and NYC for culture however”
Baltimore is a crime and drug ridden cesspool too.
And the inner harbor is polluted and the restaurants overrated and overpriced.
Any group without Kate Upton is a weak field. Jane Seymour lost points for growing up to be Dr. Quinn – Medicine Woman. My mom liked that show.
However, it is 50 miles from here while Philly is over a 100 so there is that.
I can grab a crab in half the time I could grab a cheese steak.
Note to self to share with others on HHR.
I have come in and out of Newark well over a thousand times as an adult. I also worked in downtown Newark for 2 years.
I worked in Camden for over a year on a project and drove through nasty neighborhoods to and from work daily.
I worked on a project in Oakland for nearly a year and had to drive through bad neighborhoods to and from work as well as walking to a parking lot at night.
I have NEVER had a problem during that time in Newark, Camden or Oakland.
That doesn’t change the fact that Newark, Camden and Oakland are still crime-ridden, drug infested, dangerous, corrupt cities with high murder and assault rates.
In my yoot, I also went to some gay bars in seedy areas of cities before they were routinely allowed in decent neighborhoods.
I guess all this makes me fearless and braver than any other poster on HHR. I deserve some sort of heroic medal.
This pisses me off!

Two guys jaywalked in York. Supposedly, dozens of bystanders did nothing.
In Philly bystanders filmed a woman being raped.
“PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A man charged with raping a woman on a commuter train just outside of Philadelphia harassed her for more than 40 minutes while multiple people held up their phones to seemingly record the assault without intervening, authorities said.
More than two dozen train stops passed as the man harassed, groped and eventually raped the woman, the police chief for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority said at a news conference Monday.”
Luckily this only happens in the 25-30 “bad” neighborhoods in Philly.
Should we root for the Braves? I hope they score more touchdowns (or is it goals?) than the other teams.
“This is the beauty of sports. Even as the ball does not care what color skin throws, catches, hits, or otherwise manipulates its behavior, it is equally indifferent to which city it resides. Whether the Braves players have any great fealty to the city of Atlanta is solely their concern. They clearly enjoy playing for one another, and their flair for the dramatic is fun except for Dodgers fans.
The series is far from over. If any major league team can rip off four wins in the next five games, it’s the Dodgers. Still, after the childish virtue-signaling baseball commissioner Rob Manfred bathed in by yanking this year’s All-Star Game from Atlanta after the state passed a comprehensive voting reform law, wouldn’t it be sweet justice indeed to watch him have to present the World Series championship trophy there?”
If there is any justice they will settle them in NYC’s neighborhood as he bleats WE ARE WINNING! and tells his friends and neighbors he expects th Senate to vote on a 50% cut to legal immigration soon.
“Planeloads of underage migrants are being flown secretly into suburban New York in an effort by President Biden’s administration to quietly resettle them across the region, The Post has learned.
The charter flights originate in Texas, where the ongoing border crisis has overwhelmed local immigration officials, and have been underway since at least August, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Last week, The Post saw two planes land at the Westchester County Airport, where most of the passengers who got off appeared to be children and teens, with a small portion appearing to be men in their 20s.”

So jason did not mean it when he said the debate regarding Philadelphia was over. Typical.
Debate is over. I was just filling in the posters with the news.
Don’t be offended.
You answered “True according by statistics” to the statement
“Philadelphia is one of the most dangerous, high crime, high murder rate, high drug problem and politically corrupt cities in America.”
We are in complete agreement.
I answered true to the statement:
“There are great neighborhoods and things to do in Philadelphia.”
Nothing left to argue about.
Poor Bitter woke up wanting to fight.
Tgca, do you want to help out?
Tks.
Fine. You know I am not planning on moving out of Radnor and I intend to keep working in Philadelphia no matter how many posts you make, right?

Powell’s “insider” trades:
1) WSJ reports his trades were “within fed rules.” These trades were timely disclosed.
2) Powell traded a broad-based “total market return” fund (Vanguard Total Market Return). This is not a suspicious looking trade, at least to me. Buying/selling a vaccine stock might be. He cashed out about $5 million. Trading the total market is kind of plain vanilla for someone who is supposedly trading on inside information.
3) After Powell sold, the Vanguard fund dropped 1.5%– and then went up +35%.
I don’t care whether Powell lives or dies– I couldn’t pick him out of a lineup. But this supposed insider trading scandal looks to me like a nothingball. The classic example of insider trading would be buying worthless (out of the money) put or call options on a stock– the day before some dramatic news about that stock.
So GOP Congressman, Jeff Fortenbury(NE), announced that this week he will be indicted for “lying” to an FBI investigator.
I have no clue if he did or not, but what gets me is that Andrew McCabe most definitely did but it was characterized as “at times, he was not candid”. McCabe escaped indictment and the current DOJ has decided he was a “victim” and restored his compensation and honor.
Please don’t get me started on all the indictable offenses committed by one Hunter Biden in which federal law enforcement has looked the other way.
Anyone who tells you that their are not two tiers of political justice in this Country is a moron!

As usual, I prefer to stay neutral and keep my opinions to myself and let you guys work out your differences.
I will say that Philly does have some interesting historical sites and folks should enjoy it while it lasts before it’s all removed due to wokeness.
With respect to crime, Philly does rank high on the list so I’m glad Bitter has never been a victim of crime and I hope he avoids the trains as I would hate to see him become a rape victim on septa while other passengers film but do not intervene to help him out.
Sheep
Point well taken.
But at least that district is R+11. So there’s that.
#449, “I just received my collection of 1930s Bela Lugosi serials.”
Wes, I had no idea that they made Count Chocula back in the 1930s.
Oh, you wrote “serials” … .
: )
And the winner is Munro, no contest.
Insider trading is actually very hard to prove. And for it to happen you have to have been given access to information that is not available by any other means or sources and use it to your advantage. If you attend a meeting and someone says “I think this virus thing is going to tank the market” and you think, damm, he may be right and sell your holdings that is not ‘insider information”.
It is kind of like bribery in the sense that for someone to be accused of bribery there needs to be a quid pro quo.
I will say that Philly does have some interesting historical sites and folks should enjoy it while it lasts before it’s all removed due to wokeness.”
Yeah, that cracked bell is probably racist. And Ben Franklin will have to cancelled eventually, there are rumors he was white.
“There are already seven House Democrats retiring, with another five seeking other office. So 12 are not running again. According to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), there may be even more Democrats deciding to pack it in after the holidays. The more there are, the more they may breed, when it looks more and more doubtful that the Democrats will be able to hold the House.
Of those seven known to be retiring now, four of them are in very competitive districts including Reps. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-AZ), Cheri Bustos (D-IL), Filemon Vela (D-TX), and Ron Kind (D-WI). Of the people leaving their seats for other positions, Rep. Conor Lamb (D-PA) and Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL) narrowly won, indicating that their seats are likely to be very competitive, as well.”
I don’t know if Rs have a good candidate for Lamb’s seat. I think Sean Parnell would be a shoo-in, I am doubtful he even really lost in 2020 given the vote difference, but he is running for the senate. Crist won by 6 against Paulina Luna, who was involved in a weird stalking case, now dismissed. Not sure she is the best R candidate.
Yeah, that cracked bell is probably racist. And Ben Franklin will have to cancelled eventually, there are rumors he was white.

For Whom Will the Liberty Bell Toll? From Controversy to Collaboration
What has added to the drama in presenting the Liberty Bell anew is the chunk of real estate upon which the new pavilion is being erected. The site is where the widow of William Masters, mighty merchant and Philadelphia mayor in the 1750s, erected a fine mansion in about 1767-68. As it turns out, Masters was probably Philadelphia’s largest slaveowner; in 1761, his probated estate listed the names of 34 slaves of African descent. Some of them may have helped build the house. In 1772, Widow Masters gifted the mansion to her daughter Polly, after she married Richard Penn, grandson of William Penn. Polly and Richard Penn were also slaveowners, but on a small scale. The mansion’s next occupant, shortly after the Revolution erupted, was Sir William Howe, the British general leading the army that occupied Philadelphia from September 1777 to June 1778. After Howe’s recall, Sir Henry Clinton moved in and, like Howe, his enslaved Africans toiled on this site. After the British decamped, Benedict Arnold arrived to declare martial law and occupy the Masters-Penn mansion. Two enslaved Africans were among his household retinue of seven. Then in 1781, Robert Morris, financier of the American Revolution as he has been called, purchased the house and began to reconstruct it, probably with the labor of his several slaves, not including Hero, who had fled to the British just before they took the city. Thus, for the entire revolutionary period, the lives of the free and unfree mingled intimately on this piece of Philadelphia.
Let’s go Braves!
As for Powell, after seeing more information, I repeal my earlier statement. Having his money in a Vanguard account would be acceptable to me.

That 14 second clip where Biden tries to talk over the band music, until his wife walks up & says “Look at me!”, & then he wanders off? By far the worst example of his cognitive decline I’ve seen to date.
I guess his mental deterioration is baked into the cake now, & his supporters just don’t care about it.
The lectern was just sitting there, people were milling around and you can see nobody expected Biden to speak.
He seems like he just is attracted to it and then blurts out “let me tell you’ completely out of the blue.
Very scary.

Of course, the HHR fascists actually think it is ok for private businesses to act as vaccination police even though it is unreasonable, invasive and unsafe to segregate customers.

I think you could see a more effective congress by just picking peoples’ names out of a hat from every state to go to be in congress.
Read an discuss:
The rules of selection would include:
1–same age requirement as in constitution
2–be a U.S. Citizen for at leas 10 years
3–live in that state they are representing for at least 5 years
4–score at 100 or above on an IQ test
5–must pass a physical and mental exam to weed out the infirmed and afflicted
6–must pass a basic test on government
7–must communicate orally and verbally in English
8–must own personal or real estate property valued at $5,000 or above (weeds out most of the homeless living under bridges)
9–must not have been convicted of a felony
10–if any of them accept any money or emoluments from anyone they get kicked out of congress immediately and have to turn over all they were given to go to the border protection fund.
11–perhaps we should also require that they either identify as a male or a female…
################################################
We do this and get rid of elections to congress and there is no need to get donations for running for re-election since the next election will also be random drawing of people who meet the qualifications above.
We also annual seize the average amount of political donations given to candidates by any and all businesses, organizations and groups (such as unions) that they have given over the past 10 years. We use that money to go to the border protection fund.
*************************************************
We also pass a law to annually just seize the average amount over the past 10 years in political related donations and ideologically motivated moneys given to various whack-a-doodle groups by the likes of Soros, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Bill and Melinda Gates, etc.
We use that money to buy hay for cows.
Or maybe to reduce the national debt.

On a more substantive,non pissing contest note, the Atlanta fed gdp 3rd quarter number is

Amoral Scumbag’s hero Michael Cohen is upset the he is reaping what he sowed.
Takes a scumbag to know one.
“Michael Cohen dismissed British ex-spy Christopher Steele as a “f***ing liar” and “Austin Powers” after the ex-MI6 agent suggested former President Donald Trump’s lawyer committed “treason.”
In an interview with George Stephanopoulos, former President Bill Clinton’s communications director, Steele defended his discredited anti-Trump dossier. The line where Steele accused Cohen of “treason” was not included in the ABC News clip on Sunday, only appearing in the full episode on Hulu on Monday.
Steele compiled the discredited Trump-Russia dossier after being hired by opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which itself had been hired by Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2016.
During the interview, the agent reiterated his evidence-free claim about alleged Russian collusion in Prague despite findings by special counsel Robert Mueller and the FBI that this was false.
Stephanopoulos noted that Cohen turned on Trump and said it defied logic he would continue to deny the meeting if it were true.
“I don’t agree with that. It’s self-incriminating to a very great degree,” Steele insisted.
Stephanopoulos asked what Cohen would be incriminating himself in, and Steele replied, “Treason, presumably.”
Cohen, who pleaded guilty to a number of crimes in 2018, released a new episode of his Mea Culpa podcast on Monday.
“Guess what’s back again? The Steele report, that piece of s*** document produced by Austin Powers,” Cohen said. “Steele is a f***ing liar. He’s a fraud.”
On a more substantive,non pissing contest note,”
“Substantive” is in the eye of the beholder.

Here is a dumb headline:
“94% of the universe’s galaxies are permanently beyond our reach”
Voyager and New Horizons are barely outside our solar system, but the nearest star is 4.37 light-years, and we currently have no mechanism or technology to get there.
The Andromeda Galaxy is a whopping 2.1 million light years away, and that’s right next door compared to other galaxies. The others are much much further away.
Probably safe to say 100% are permanently beyond our reach.
DW,
Donald Trump became President of the United States.
NEVER say NEVER (unless you are jason and it doesn’t translate the same in Quechuan)!
The economy is cratering.
4th quarter gonna be bad.
540 – Trump won, partly because Hillary was absolutely stupid, arrogant, overconfident and in denial. The new white house drapes were ordered, her cabinet picked, and just so as to not jinx it, she canceled the fireworks scheduled for election night.
Now if the Mets ever win the world series again, then I will reconsider if its possible to get to Andromeda. In 1986, the Mets took over the debt of the Red Sox’ Bambino curse in exchange for the Game 6 comeback.
Now they are stuck with it.
Well, DW, theoretically the Einstein-Rosen Bridge is possible. Assuming one wouldn’t trigger the nightmare scenario seen in Event Horizon (1997), an Einstein-Rosen Bridge would enable visitation of every part of the universe.
543 – the wiki article on the Einstein-Rosen Bridge is so full of ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ that its clearly in the realm of Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock.
That’s all theoretical science, DW. Since Einstein himself believed in the possibility of one, he must have calculated its theoretical existence as more than simply a fantasy.
Speaking of fantasy…

They had a lot of clever artist renderings and they raked in tens of millions of dollars from dupes.

I confess to having a touch of Trump fatigue too, occasionally.
I sure don’t want Trump & the stolen election dominating the ’22 midterms.
That actually has ties to McAuliffe, Mnw. I’m guessing the Kossacks on RRH are still saying TMac is a lock to win.
Notice how Mcawful is trying to walk back his incredibly stupid statement.
I remember rush back in 1999/2000 referring to him as the punk.
We know that Munchkin will fold here.
Enema has bigger balls than Munchkin.
I scroll through the comments on RRH daily, & I haven’t seen any “TMac is a lock” posts lately. That may be because there haven’t been any new polls, though.
I agree with Allahpundit that McA wouldn’t have cut that “out of context” ad if he hadn’t seen some alarming private polling on that issue.
Youngkin is VERY good at quick reaction, I’ve noticed. VERY good indeed, and… I still think he’ll likely lose.

From colleague Kelly Phares. Manchin on negotiations on social spending plan: “We’ll keep talking until we understand each other.” Says “it’s possible” they could get a deal by end of the week. “We’re talking every morning and night to see if there’s a framework we can agree on”
I’m not sure if Youngkin is a likely loser at this point, Mnw. Things have so badly deteriorated for the Dems over the past nine months at worst TMac gets a win of of 1-3 points at the tail end of the night on 11-2.
548. Zzzzzzzzzzzz. I have never voted for the Democrat nominee in any election in New Jersey or Pennsylvania. I moved out of New Jersey in 1994. My family still living in New Jersey only vote for Republicans. They certainly voted for the Republicans who ran against Menendez. None of us is fine with corruption or sleaze.

Well, Bitter, you frequently tell us how much you hate Southerners because of accents. You’ve never once told us how bad Sewer Staters are for knowingly and willingly voting for a corrupt child rapist–by double digits.
Why exactly is that?
I can conclude only the thing you express hatred for bothers you while the thing you rarely or never criticize does not.
Tell me how I’m wrong.
559
I don’t recall being polled by Quinnipiac on Biden’s approval but I would definitely fall into the 22% of blacks that disapprove.
You’re wrong. Actually, you are the one who frequently and repeatedly brings up my past reasons for not wanting to live in the South. I did not say I hate Southerners. You keep bringing it up. Why? Your need for me to accept where you live is odd considering the contempt I inspire in you.
You said you hate Southerners for their accents and supposed fake politeness.
Those were your words.
Obviously since you’ve repeatedly felt the need to type that on here, it’s a feeling you have.
You refused to answer the question by the way.
I’ll rephrase:
Why do people who talk a certain way bother you while people who actively vote for someone as vile as Bob Menendez do not?
No sidestepping. Just answer the question.
Just to compare things for you, Bitter, the South has 24 Senators while New Jersey has two. None of the current Senators from the South has ever come under scrutiny for raping sex slaves in a foreign country while one of the two Senators from New Jersey has.
Why does the region without a history of voting for corrupt child rapists bother you while the state that can’t claim that doesn’t?
Find the post where I said I “hate” Southerners. I do find the accents grating and the politeness to be fake.
Not sidestepping. I don’t like anybody voting for any Democrat, especially Menendez. Of course, 46% of voters voted against Menendez in the last election so there are good people in New Jersey, too.
What do you want me to do, Wes? Not visit my family to impress you? I said repeatedly that Menendez should have been convicted and jailed. You know that.
My phone number is on FB if you want to be a man and call me rather than curry favor with the vipers.
Who are the 3% of Republicans who approve of the job Biden is doing? I want to meet them. On second thought, I actually don’t. Three percent of the Republican Party is made up of Corey types.
I’m not trying to curry favor with anyone, Bitter. I just love watching you twisting in the wind to justify your antipathy toward the South while giving lackadaisical condemnation to all your friends who want Menendez to represent them in the Senate.
Wes, I just don’t see how Youngkin can get past the margin of fraud. Here are the sort of polls I would need to see:
Trafalgar – Youngkin +7
Christopher Newport – Youngkin +5
PPP-D – Youngkin +1
Fox News – Tied
CBS – Youngkin +2
Roanoke College – Youngkin +3
Quinnipiac – Youngkin +2
Those sort of polls would give me some hope.
YOU are the one who repeatedly brings up my feelings about the South. YOU.
My friends and family in New Jersey voted to defeat Menendez.
Well, if you didn’t say it, Bitter, I wouldn’t have anything to use against you, would I?
Your friends and family knew their votes were pointless because Menendez was a lock for reelection, Bitter.
Remember how wildly inaccurate polling was last year, DW?
We’re now almost a year into the Biden Administration with literally everything spiraling out of control. I’m not prepared–yet–to say Youngkin will win, but he’s clearly the best positioned Republican to win statewide office in VA since Bob McDonnell in 2009.
So you admit you keep bringing it up to have something to use against me. Good to know you need to manufacture fights with me when I don’t mention your beloved South.
Votes are pointless? Didn’t think you would be against voting. If their votes were pointless, why didn’t they vote for Menendez? Because they did not want him to win.
Note to self.
I’m glad I rise above the petty fighting on HHR over silly meaningless things. I see no need to delve into personal attacks or manufacture distortions of what people post to justify a viewpoint.
Who was manufacturing a fight, Bitter? I just brought up your own statements and contrasted them with your muted criticism of heinous activities committed by people living in your home state.
I sure don’t want Trump & the stolen election dominating the ’22 midterms.”
Translation: let’s ignore the stolen election so the Dems can keep stealing them over and over.
Brilliant strategy.
Where on this thread did I criticize the South? Or the last thread? At least you admitted I criticize Menendez but you can stop with the “muted” part.
573 – Wes, I am just in the mode of believing it when I see it.
Probably safe to say 100% are permanently beyond our reach.”
I doubt it. Just think how out of reach the moon was for Christopher Columbus, let alone the cavemen.
Yes, the leap in technology for interstellar travel is a lot greater, but that is how technology evolves, exponentially.
Let’s compare the number of times you’ve criticized Menendez and the number of times you’ve attacked the South for its accents, Bitter.
It won’t even be close–especially since Menendez is a target of your criticism strictly when I mock you for not expressing opprobrium toward him while the South draws your ire on little or no pretext.
Rasmussen Poll, LVs
Biden’s handling of economic issues:
34% good or excellent
51% Poor
“A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports and The National Pulse finds that just 34 percent of Likely U.S. Voters rate Biden’s handling of economic issues excellent or good, while 51 percent now give the president a poor rating on the economy. That’s a significant decline since July, when 42 percent of voters rated Biden good or excellent on economic issues and 43 percent gave him a poor rating.
Eighty-three percent of voters now say they are concerned about inflation, including 57 percent who are Very Concerned, while just 14 percent are not concerned about inflation. Inflation worries have risen since May, when 76 percent of voters were concerned, including 45 percent who were Very Concerned.”
I understand that, DW. I just look at the totality of current trends including Biden’s repeated failures as President and TMac’s frequent missteps on the campaign and think Youngkin has a good chance at victory.
I hate arguments I am not part of.
Silverhack giving up?
He only adjusted the Quinn poll from 37-52 to 39-51.
I think DW’s scenario that Youngkin gets the most votes but can’t overcome the MOF is very plausible.
They will hold Fairfax out until they know how many votes they need.
Hard formula to overcome.
So you admit I made no recent criticisms of the South. Good to know.
Let me know how many times I should criticize Menendez per day to earn your approval.
Note to self.
More attempts at MSM vaccine indoctrination of the public by trying to personalize a Covid test result and extrapolate it across a diverse population to scare people into a desired action.
Neil Cavuto, who has MS, has now tested Covid positive after being 2x vaccinated authoritatively states he is not in dire medical situation because he was vaccinated.
Then he goes on to lecture that all get vaccinated NOT only for yourself but for everyone around you.
Let’s look at facts. Agreed, there is a stronger possibility he may have been in a more dire medical state had he not been vaxed but many people have been vaxed and still die of Covid and many with medical conditions not vaxed have survived as well. Each case is different even though there are trends that can be noted as occurring but not definitively always occurring.
He shows himself to be ignorant of the science by claiming with such authority when there is no proof to his claim, especially given other doubled vaccinated with medical issues have still died from Covid and studies seem to show natural immunity is the same or better than an emergency va vine with unknown long term impacts.
Why can’t he just say that he was fortunate and that being double vaxed probably reduced the severity of his illness instead of exaggerating and stating false conclusions suggesting it saved his life.
I have a friend who has diabetes and wears a monitor to keep his condition in check. He is high risk category for Covid. He got Covid before the vaxes were available and did not even get sick and only found out by routine antibody testing which he confirmed again. High risk but didn’t even get sick. That is proof positive that not all people will be impacted the same on an infection that has a 99.7% survival rate for most and in the 90% range for elderly and others with less than ideal health.
STOP the preaching and trying to scare people!
https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/vaccinated-neil-cavuto-tests-positive/
Note to self to share with stoopid MSM.
MSM and gubbermint officials pushing Colin Powell died because of the unvaccinated even though he was 2x vaccinated.
Where is that proof?
Who are these unvaccinated people that infected him? Track them down. Take names.
So what’s the message here to those reluctant to take the vax? The vax doesn’t work? You still die if you have other medical issues? Then why take the vax in the 1st place and put yourself at risk for vaccine side effects that are significant compared to other vaccines historically?
These people pushing conspiracy theories should be called on their BS and have it explained to them it only further deters vaccination by the reluctant if you point out fully vaxed people dying of Covid.
One criticism of Menendez for every bigoted attack on Southern accents will convince you’re at least willing to pretend Menendez bothers you as much as the South does, Bitter.
So because I have not mentioned Southern accents for weeks or months, I’m good. Thanks, Wes.
Why is it bigoted to not like a particular accent? Do you like all accents?
Yeah, I also read where Fairfax County will hold off their count until the end. Pretty obvious what’s going to go down here, boys. Fairfax has always been relatively late in getting all of their vote counted. Now for some reason they announce it will be counted last? You’d have to be stupid not to see what’s fixing to happen here.
I’m with Wes that Youngkin has a good chance with the current trends. Unlike Wes, however, I’m much more inclined to factor in Democratic fraud in these elections. In this case, due to the closeness of the race, I expect the fraud in Fairfax to be the decisive factor.
All right, Bitter. I’ll repost your question with a slight change. That should answer your question for you:
Why is it bigoted to not like a particular skin tone? Do you like all skin tones?
Do you see why you’re expressing bigotry now?

well … in #565″
Yeah, I am going call BS on that one too.
Bitter says I can’t criticize Philadelphia because I don’t live there (neither does he, btw).
But there is nothing “fake” about Southern politeness.
In general, people in the South ARE friendlier, more polite, more helpful and more hospitable.
I have lived in both places and it is a fact.
I am not a big fan of Southern accents, but it is no more grating to me than a Boston accent, or a Maine accent, or a New Yawk accent.
Lisabitch should read 560 to see where Wes started the discussion about the South. She has been relatively absent lately. Unfortunately, she’s back.
I’ve never mentioned anything about accents on here, Bitter. I do find it hilarious how you sidestep the question of how attacking people for accents is bigotry when the both questions but for two words in my post are identical to your questions.

578 was in reference to the thread before 560 where Wes started this fight. But you knew that.
Maybe you can repeat your posts when you trashed the Southern women who showed you around town when your husband was interviewing for a job. You also trashed them for being Christians.
I think the VA election hinges on some of the NOVA parents rejecting the woke school boards and McAuliffe as an extension of them.
In 2020 Fairfax Co.
Biden 419,000 70%
Trump 168,000 28%
Youngkin can’t win with that kind of margin in Fairfax, he needs to get to 35%. He needs to improve in Loudoun from 36% to about 42% and in Prince William from 35% to around 40%.
If he does that he can win.
Wes – Jason is bigoted against Southern , New York, Boston, and Maine accents. Go after him.’
Lie.
I said they don’t bother me any more than Southern accents.
GFY.
Saying Southern politeness is “fake” sure sounds like an attack on the South to me.
Not a lie. You said you are “not a big fan” of Southern accents. Then you said they are “no more grating” than Boston, Maine or New Yawk accents. Implicit in that statement is that you find Southern, Boston, New Yawk and Maine accents grating.
Bitter still lying as he lied that he didn’t attack the South.
None of it is “grating” for me, you used that word, not me. I just made the comparison that Southern accents don’t bother me anymore than other accents.
GFY again.
I stayed out of the argument, but I had to call bs on the “fake politeness” of the South.
Nothing fake about it, it is very real.
I would hire somebody from the South as long as they did not speak.

Jason used the word grating in the sentence where he said that he is not a big fan of Southern accents. He should just use Quechua and then we can ask Google to translate his posts.
Come on, lisab. Tell us about your contempt for the women who gave you a tour of that Southern town.
So when a Southerner calls somebody a moron by saying, “Bless his heart,” they are not being fake? Good to know.

I made the posts about Southern accents, weather, fake politeness and blood-soaked history starting years ago. I stand by them. I do not hate people in the South.

Yeah. Those were the women you trashed. Southern women. You kept a running commentary about them.
I don’t think it was polite to ask about your religion but Jason and Wes would give them a pass on it.
See, everybody.
Lisab only hates Christian women in the South.
I am surprised lisab, a New England woman with an English degree, could not find a better response to those women than to skulk back to post on a blog.
yes, they were 4 specific southern women
yes, they definitely offended me, especially since i believe that my not being an evangelical christian cost my hubby the job.

McA got snippy with a local TV reporter today. Cut the scheduled 20-minute interview short by 10 minutes, & told the reporter, “You should’ve asked better questions. Questions your viewers care about.”
Reporter: “I did.”
Apparently McA was irritated because the reporter kept asking too many questions about the school boards/ parent thing.
Pressure getting to him? As reporters go, this local reporter was polite, respectful. & soft spoken– Jim Acosta/Chuck Todd he was NOT.

they did not actually show me any churches … i might have actually been interested in seeing a church … i regularly visit churches while on vacation,
they showed me various minister’s houses, obviously hoping i’d ask, “oh, do you think he’d mind if we stopped in?”, when they hit the right one.
but i would not have done that even if not on a job interview. people from massachusetts don’t just drop by … we make appointments like any rational human being
People from Philly, NY, and NJ with regional accents are generally portrayed as loudmouth, stoopid, and ignorant because of the way they sound and act. Look at many movies and culture. It’s not something to be proud of being from the northeast. So I think it’s odd that northeastern folk have the gall to criticize other’s accents given how they are generally viewed by most of the country.
I also think it’s ironic that northeastern folks criticize the south about the Civil War with blood on their hands when people in the northeast, specifically in the metro NY area pretty much wiped out the Native American population not only by disease but by forcing them out of their lands. I remember reading about all the Native American history in NJ but good luck finding Native American descendants in the northeast.
So again, people from the northeast are like people in glass houses.
Sinema should become a political Independent; the Democrats will never renominate her in Arizona for the Senate. She needs to start establishing a new political identity starting now; polls show she would likely loss in a Democratic primary in Arizona.
“While Manchin has been willing to discuss his priorities in detail with his colleagues in the Senate, Sinema only negotiates with the White House.
“I’m not going to share with you or with Schumer or with Pelosi,” she told one Democratic senator recently. “I have already told the White House what I am willing to do and what I’m not willing to do. I’m not mysterious. It’s not that I can’t make up my mind. I communicated it to them in detail. They just don’t like what they’re hearing.””
This resembles the “era of limitations” rhetoric that existed during the Carter presidency.
“@washingtonpost
Opinion: Don’t rant about short-staffed stores and supply chain woes. Try to lower expectations.”
Adding to the comparison, like Jimmy Carter, Biden already has had a foreign policy fiasco that resulted in the U.S. being humiliated. Biden now appears a worthy competitor with Jimmy Carter for the title of the worse U S. president in modern history. Both Carter and Biden share a certain aura of being helpless and pathetic.

Note to self to EDUMACATE stoopid peeps at HHR.
Find alternative solutions to combat supply chain issues and stop whining. Do you really need to use toilet paper in the fall when the streets are littered with thousands of fallen leaves in your neighborhood? Besides, the leaves are much prettier than toilet paper.
…and remember, expectations to have an adequate supply of toilet paper is just more systemic racist oppression and signifies white supremacy.
Don’t think we black and brown people are not observant and that we don’t notice that toilet paper is always white.
Has anyone ever seen brown toilet paper? Unused toilet paper that is brown.

“New Jersey taxpayers are on the hook for $40 million in one-time payments for undocumented people living in the state.
Last week, the state Department of Human Services (DHS) launched a new website for its so-called Excluded New Jerseyans Fund (ENJF). It targets those living in New Jersey who were not eligible for previous federal stimulus programs, including undocumented individuals.”
Of course, Tgca, as an excluded disadvantaged minority, will be eligible because it would be racist to exclude someone just because they no longer live in NJ.

RAS 41-58,50 % STRONG disapproval
Hmmm.. it might not be rape then, because it could be a cultural issue that has to be taken into account.
I agree. It’s a cultural issue. Nothing to see here.
LET’S GO BRAN-DON!
Remember, we read here that Philly is only high crime due to ‘statistics”.
If rapes on the trains are no longer considered rape, this will help the “statistics”.
This is brilliant, more of these cities that only have high crime due to “statistics” could benefit from this approach.
In perusing the political reporting this morning I’m amused by the number of commentators discussing the paring down of the reconciliation bill to a likely two trillion as some sort of Republican victory. Lol
That’s two TRILLION on top of a 1.9 trillion “bipartisan” bill on top of 3 trillion in Covid related spending last year.
This is insane.
Life is exciting in FL, no wonder Tgca lives there.
“VERO BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Two newly hired physical education teachers at a Florida elementary school were arrested after the shooting of a man whose apartment they entered thinking it belonged to someone else following a night of drinking.
One of the teachers mistakenly climbed into bed with the man, his wife and their baby, and the other teacher went to the bathroom before the male occupant of the house escorted them out. The teachers believed they had entered the apartment of one of their friends.
While outside, one of the teachers, Darius Cohen, got into a scuffle with the male occupant, which was broken up by the other teacher, Akkua Hallback. While the male resident was returning to his apartment, Cohen chased him and fired four shots, striking him once in the back, according to an arrest affidavit. The man’s injuries were not life threatening.”
So you enter someone’s apt, climb into bed with the resident, his wife and baby and then you shoot him.
Maybe it is another cultural issue.
Yeah, I think Rs are being rolled here.
You throw 3.5 trillion out there as a “compromise” from 6 trillion (where the “compromisers” are moonbats).
Then you settle for $2 trillion.
I don’t see the “win” either.
Of course, over at Dkos they actually thought they were getting 3.5 trillion, so we can thank Manchin and Sinema for at least torturing the moonbats.
I know Vero Beach. Nobody here knows Vero Beach like me. Been there like 3 times. I’ve walked the streets of Vero Beach and never had a problem. I know Vero Beach just as good as anyone knows Philly.
Plenty to do in Vero Beach too like golfing, fishing, and water sports – the ocean type of water sports, not the type of water sports SDC’ kind are into.
A number of gated communities so perhaps Gordon might move to Vero Beach one day too.

Big swing for Youngkin in new Monmouth poll.
46-46
Last poll was 48-43 McAuliffe.
More important than the numbers is the trend and momentum.
I mentioned this last night as crucial for Youngkin.
“The biggest swing in support from Monmouth’s last poll comes from independent voters, registering a 48% to 39% lead for Youngkin now compared with a 37% to 46% deficit in September.”
“Suburban women, especially in Northern Virginia, have been crucial to the sizable victories Democrats have enjoyed in the commonwealth since 2017. However, their support is not registering at the same level this time around. This is due partly to a shift in key issues important to these voters and partly to dampened enthusiasm among the party faithful,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute”
If suburban women really are concerned about CRT and woke school boards, this could be game changer.
But I say IF, because there are a lot of woke suburban women.
I should have bought Youngkin at 4-1 underdog.
At 2-1 I am not interested because of the fraud risk.
Ruh oh!

673 SDC
I can’t understand how Biden would poll 4 points better among RVs than he does among “adults.”
Makes no sense to me. Just as Biden always polls the worst among LVs, I would expect him to poll the best among “adults,” which includes unregistered voters– disproportionately lo-fo & minorities.
#683, “I can’t understand how Biden would poll 4 points better among RVs than he does among “adults.””
____________
If Jason and Phil not only threatened to stop voting, but also deregistered, and other disgruntled conservatives follow the same “strategy,” then that would explain it.
Not sure what an “unregistered voter” is exactly but mnw is right that adult polls include non-citizens, especially non-citizen Hispanics that would normally be more Democratic.
Maybe Biden is becoming unpopular among this group also, perhaps because so far he has not been able to pass amnesty for them.
If Jason and Phil not only threatened to stop voting, but also deregistered,”
I already “deregistered” in January, so its hardly at “threat”.
a threat, geezus.
disgruntled conservatives”
I am not a disgruntled conservative. I am still a conservative.
I prefer disenfranchised conservative.
I refuse to participate in a corrupt and dishonest election process where my vote doesn’t count in the hopes that next time it might. I don’t believe that doing the same thing over and over hoping for a different outcome is a rational strategy.
FOX News says that Corn’s report of Manchin possibly switching parties “is full of details that are hard to discount.”
It says he would become an “American Independent” not a Republican, but I guess what counts is who he would caucus with.
Yesterday he was hugging Bernie Sanders on national TV.
Color me skeptical.
Faux allied with Corn,
I am sure Corns dossier on the russian hoax was also highly accurate too.
A friend of mine dined in a NYC restaurant this week. Each one of the dinner guests in their party had to show not only their vaccine ID but additional valid ID to prove they were the person identified on the vaccination ID.
HHR’s 3 known fascist posters would be proud that businesses can make these personal decisions to protect their patrons and livelihood.
Hello. Welcome to Amerika’s Super Burgers. I’m Justine, and I will be your food server today. My preferred pronoun is THEY. Before I take your order, please show me your valid US drivers license or passport in addition to your vaccine certificate before I take your order. While you’re getting your IDs, I’ll just let you know we have two main specials today in addition to our menu choices. They are the Commie Burger and our Auschwitz burger.
I think these vaccine checks are too much administrative burden for restaurants and slows down the process. NYC should just require the unvaccinated to wear certain identifiable outfits while out so they can more easily and quickly be denied to eat.
This might work.

#688, Jason, by referring to you as a “disgruntled conservative,” I wasn’t saying that you were upset at being a conservative, I was saying that you are a conservative who is disgruntled. Here’s the definition and sample sentence (based on the Random House Unabridged Dictionary) from Dictionary.com:
disgruntled
[ dis-gruhn-tld ]
adjective
displeased and discontented; sulky; peevish:
Her disgruntled husband refused to join us.
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/disgruntled
Note that referring to her “disgruntled husband” didn’t imply that he no longer was her husband, but that, currently, he was displeased and discontented, sulky and/or peevish.
I think that, since the 2020 elections, it is fair to describe you as “disgruntled.” But if you wish for me to describe you as “gruntled but no longer registered to vote,” I can do that.
Wes
Based on the movement in the Monmouth poll, I’m changing my prediction to Youngkin wins.
It’s the movement in the polls, not the numbers themselves.
Also, McA is acting like a man who is STRESSED! Serene and confident? I don’t think so. Sunny & optimistic? Not in evidence.
There are some at Politico who think the VA House of Delegates is in play too, btw.
Yeah, Meldrim I don’t think the RH definition of “displeased and discontented” or sulky and peevish fits my situation.
MW has a similar “annoyed and unhappy”.
I don’t identify with any of those feelings, and as a matter of fact it is actually the opposite. My disconnection from Republican politics, working for campaigns, attending meetings, contributing money has freed financial resources and time to do other things.
All those definitions imply it was an emotional reaction, when really it wasn’t. An emotional reaction was being upset at the results, which of course I was. But that is very separate from my conclusion that I should no longer be involved in a corrupt and dishonest PA electoral process where in essence I am disenfranchised.
But whatever, “gruntled but no longer registered is fine too.”
I am still in the mode of believing it when I see McAwful concede and Youngkin claim victory. Both would have to happen for it to begin to become true.
My guess is Youngkin will be way ahead in the early returns, and maybe even be declared winner by a network or two, then northern VA begins to report in, and the gap shortens by a lot, but still with Youngkin well ahead. McAwful won’t concede defeat.
Then Fairfax will announce its stopping at 98% reported in and they won’t have anything more to say until Wednesday morning.
Wednesday morning will come and go. Then Wednesday evening there will be a sudden bomb of an incredible number of more votes, sort of a 125% turnout kind of thing, and McAwful will be ahead by 269 votes.
A number of polls have shown Biden doing better among RV’s than ” adults”; hard to figure. Although doing terribly in both.
Btw, there is a GE election in PA Nov 2.
It will be the first GE I will miss since I became eligible to vote over 30 years ago.
For those PA voters who believe their vote will count, I recommend voting for Kevin Brobson for Pa Supreme Court.
Wednesday morning will come and go. Then Wednesday evening there will be a sudden bomb of an incredible number of more votes, sort of a 125% turnout kind of thing, and McAwful will be ahead by 269 votes.”

Stolen not seen. Can someone tell me if autocorrect can be shut down,and how?
Biden beat Trump by 10 in VA last year. Trump lost MA by three times that in 2016 and 2018, yet Hogan had no problem winning in Trump’s midterm with a similar electorate to what VA has. With Biden and TMac melting down, I’m not throwing in the towel for Youngkin.
MD, not MA.
Youngkin is going to win.
McAuliffe is a re-thread, one of this problems.
Another is he is running against Trump, not Youngkin.
That is all and well, except that Trump did get 44% in VA, so the question is does running against Trump really ensure you will repeat Biden’s 54%.
10 points is a lot, but it really means a 5% swing can decide the election. Youngkin seems to be hanging on to Trump’s base and eating away at soft Biden voters on issues like education and public safety.
Skippy says:
October 20, 2021 at 6:53 pm
Youngkin is going to win.”
Nooooooooooooooooooo….
Skippy’s predictions are the kiss of death.
The moment Phoenixrisen and Pitchaboy say Youngkin will win, I’m moving VA-Gov to Solid D Hold. They’re Howard Dean-level bad in making predictions.
The only thing that can save Youngkin now is if Noncensus drives by and predicts a McAuliffe win.
There is also a special Congressional election in OH, but it’s PVI is R +13, going by memory only, & the R leads by +11 in the only poll, going by memory alone.
Jason,
Trump has nothing to do with the VA Governor race.
Cost of living issues revolving around inflation and chain supply is cutting into DEMs margins within educated white females. 2017 VA GOV race the Dems won Hispanic vote by 67-32. Two weeks from tonight Youngkin will lose the Hispanic vote by less than 12%.
Youngkin will win.

Youngkin will win.
The movement in Virginia is in the right direction. There is absolutely no doubt about that. Polls are moving in one direction. McAliffe’s behavior on the trail…. All point to a Republican narrow victory IMO…in a fair election that is.
Unfortunately, fraud is the Democrats’ ace in the hole. Fairfax County election board of supervisors has requested that witness signatures on mail in absentee ballots be waived by the governor, and more importantly, Fairfax County has announced that they will hold back counting their vote until the end on election night……..in other words, wait until they see how many votes they need. Richmond (mostly black) already holds back their vote until the very end.
Soooo…..I’m fearful of a close “loss”.
Skippy, I agree with your analysis and hope you are right but your prediction track record here is horrendous.
But nobody can be wrong 100% of the time, right?
Hope springs eternal.
Youngkin seems to be peaking at the right time although 2 weeks can be an eternity in politics.
The only sure thing about Virginia is that Democrats will try and steal it.
DRUDGE
Although stories of deer and monkeys have been sparse, they have one up today.
“Scientists Create New Sperm Using Monkey Stem Cells…”
Predictit now has the race 65-32 for McAulifffe.
First time McAuliffe has been under 70 or Youngkin over 30.
What possible rationale would Richmond and/or Fairfax County have to state IN ADVANCE that they are going to hold their vote counts back? other than cheating . . . ?
Actually, Richmond didn’t announce it. They just do it every election…sort of votes in reserve if they need them. Fairfax? I have no clue why they’d signal that in advance. They are usually late with their final numbers anyway.
I just know Democrats aren’t going to make the mistake they made in Philly in 2016 when they counted and released their final numbers early in the evening before they had the state totals. Different state but same principle….that is, bump the number to the total necessary once they see what they need.
This is how they operate and you’ll see how it works in two weeks.
Democrats play to win…by any means. Some are-ublicans are just flat out naive.

The feds prosecute vote fraud all the time– going from memory only, I believe 3 people were indicted (and I think pled guilty?) in EDPA (Philadelphia) within the last week.
Even Mollie Hemingway, who wrote “Rigged,” DOESN’T claim that a bunch of co-conspirators worked together to commit massive fraud on election night. What happened, she argues, was far more subtle than that, and the heart of it was rule changes due to COVID that were conducive to individual acts of fraud.

Now the really really bad news for Democrats. Kamala Harris on deck. You know – the border czar. Look at her favorables. Lol. DeSantis would clobber her. Hell, even Trump beats her. A three point popular vote win for any Republican translates into 350 electoral votes easy. Hopefully, Trump hangs them up and doesn’t run, but no way he loses to Kamala Harris.
Democrats will need to find someone else….or I should say, they better.
734. Agree the Democrats need to find someone else. But rejecting a black woman vice president because she is a bad candidate might totally offend key Democratic constituencies. The Democrats have put themselves into an awful situation — it is likely that Harris will run regardless, and the Democratic primary will be a bloodbath in 2024.

Young kin will go to bed 200k ahead and wake up 50k behind. A big bag of votes at 2AM will make Wes smile.
Actually, Pitch, you just made me smile when I read that. You have one of the worst accuracy ratings for your predictions on here. Since you just predicted TMac will win, I think Youngkin should be able to rest easily on Election Night knowing he’ll be the next Governor of Virginia.
My updated 2021 gubernatorial rankings:
Likely R Pickup-VA
Solid D Hold-NJ
The Sewer State will continue its track record of voting for the worst available candidate in every statewide race.
Youngkin is peaking at the right time, and TMac is melting down while Biden is a huge millstone around the Dems’ collective neck. Having literally never made a correct prediction on here, Pitchaboy sealed the deal for me thus morning. Of course I do have to take into account the fact that Pitch has been defying the laws of probability for a decade now and should by all logic finally get one right; hence why I gave Youngkin a Likely rather than Solid ranking. Still, I’m comfortable enough with all I’m seeing to say Youngkin will beat TMac in two weeks.

Robin Williams lived from 1951 until 2014.
John Belushi lived from 1949 until 1982.
It does not high level thinking to see that they were alive and could be friends until Belushi’s death.
It’s called Wawa and I never drink coffee. GFY
Obviously, I submitted before having read Bitter’s last post (which wasn’t up yet on my screen).
Wait, my submission didn’t go through? I wrote a post pointing out that the “he” in Bitter’s pist must have been Belushi (who died at 33), not Williams. But now that post has disappeared. I guess that it’s in “moderation.”
DOESN’T claim that a bunch of co-conspirators worked together to commit massive fraud on election night. What happened, she argues, was far more subtle than that, and the heart of it was rule changes due to COVID that were conducive to individual acts of fraud.”
Everybody understands the rule changes were made so that fraud could be committed more easily. Hemingway is clear partisan election officials committed fraud, I have not read the book but I listened to several interviews she has given on TV and on the radio about its contents.
As far as whether the election was stolen by many co-conspirators or by “individuals” is not very relevant, we don’t know how many “individuals” it would take to steal 10k votes in Fulton or 20k in Milwaukee or 80k in Philly given that there was no control on the VBM and no supervision on the counting.
Also, fraud doesn’t only occur on election night.
There is illegal ballot harvesting. There are illegals voting. Dead people voting. People registered in more than one state. If you allow these votes to be counted, you are allowing the election to be stolen.
Here is what Hemingway says about Wisconsin.
“As of 2019, Wisconsin voter rolls included more than 234,000 names of people who had moved either out of state or to a new address in Wisconsin. By law, a notice was supposed to be sent to those names and addresses and, if they didn’t reply, they were supposed to be flagged by election officials as ineligible. The notice was sent, but the voters who failed to reply weren’t removed from the rolls.”
Hemingway wrote that The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty sued the Wisconsin Elections Board over the error and it was ordered to remove the outdated names from the voter rolls, however, the board was fined for a failure to comply with the judge’s orders.
Hemingway said, “Wisconsin election officials appealed the ruling, and an appeals court allowed the names to stay.”
Hemingway makes the case that mail-in voting gives more room for voter fraud to be present, because of “the lack of oversight and ballot custody” for mail-in ballots. When voting in-person, voters generally need to show identification, but when voting with a mail-in ballot, voters only need to show identification the first time they vote by mail.
Calling that requirement the “one election protection Wisconsin maintained,” Hemingway explained the state also had a loophole for the identification requirements.
She wrote, “Wisconsin law had an exception to ID requirements for those who say they are ‘indefinitely’ confined because of age, illness, infirmity, or disability. The highly partisan clerks of Wisconsin’s two biggest and most Democratic counties told their residents to claim that they were ‘indefinitely confined’ even if they weren’t.”
Hemingway said that over a quarter of a million people voted in Wisconsin in the 2020 election without any sort of identification check whatsoever.
She wrote, “About 195,000 of the nearly 1 million people who voted by mail in April claimed they were indefinitely confined, according to the Wisconsin Elections Commission. An additional 50,000 ‘indefinitely confined’ claims were made prior to the November election. That meant that up to a quarter of a million votes were cast in Wisconsin’s presidential election without any identification check at all.”
“Fraudulently voting by mail by assuming the identity of any of the 234,000 phantom voters still on the state’s rolls could not possibly have been easier,” Dan O’Donnell, an individual who assisted the Wisconsin think tank the MacIver Institute in investigating the 2020 election, said.”
Ma, the Wah-Wah organic bait is good.
Reeled one in within 5 minutes.
#708, “Youngkin seems to be hanging on to Trump’s base and eating away at soft Biden voters on issues like education and public safety.”
Jason, that is correct. But perhaps a bigger factor in Youngkin’s potential upset victory is not that Biden voters will vote for Youngkin, but that a disproportionately greater number of Biden voters than Trump voters will stay home. Remember, turnout in (odd-year) VA state elections is always much lower than it is in presidential elections, so which 2020 voters sit it out this time will be crucial. While getting Biden voters to vite for Youngkin is twice as good as having Biden voters stay home, there will be a lot more ofvthe latter than the former.
Wait, my submission didn’t go through? I wrote a post pointing out that the “he” in Bitter’s pist must have been Belushi (who died at 33), not Williams.”
I got it. Bitter didn’t get that I got it.
Must be the Wah-Wah organic tea made of leaves excreted by forest elephants after they raid the tea farms.
752. True. A depressed Dem turnout will be more valuable to Youngkin then any votes he can flip.
It is just that I feel some of the parents in those NOVA counties that are angry about the lack of safety for their kids and McAuliffe’s contention they shouldn’t have a say in their kid’s education are not all Trump voters. Some could be Biden voters that believed him when he claimed to be a moderate.
Can you see McCauliffe doing better with ANY demographic than Biden did?
Cnbc has a new poll out this morning. It’s awful for Biden, like most of the others, with a steep drop-off since their last poll in July. However, it does show a plurality in favor of the Reconciliation bill– which is the only good news for Biden in this poll.
Otoh, the poll shows inflation now tied with COVID as voters’ #1 concern.
If you asked 100 voters to name 3 items in the reconciliation bill,how many do you think cod do so?
Maybe 5 to 8?
Baris will be out with his Va poll late today or tomorrow morning. He is hinting on Twitter it will be extremely close. Says Youngkin is trying hard to balance appeal in NOVA with efforts to get rural Va Trump vote. Says it is a delicate balancing act. Says Youngkin is doing well but is running slightly behind the generic R number statewide. Needs to do better with Trump voters in Hampton Roads and the Shenandoah Vally and Hampton Roads.
…and, of course, no poll measures fraud.
The VA Lt Gov race is looking good for the GOP as well. Our candidate is black female former Marine.
It’s looking like Trump is going to strong arm Kemp out and replace him with Vernon Jones. Even if it causes the Dems to win with Stacy Abrams.
However if they all win we will have a Republican:
Latina Lt Gov in FL
Black Gov in GA
Black Lt Gov in NC
Black Lt Gov in VA

“Moderate Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia said Thursday he had offered to drop his formal affiliation with the Democratic Party and instead be independent if he were causing a “problem” for the caucus.
He was asked by reporters at the Capitol about a report that he had threatened to leave the party if his demands weren’t met on the social spending bill under negotiation by moderate and progressive Democrats.
“No,” he said. But he disclosed a conversation in which he said that if he were ever “an embarrassment” to Democratic colleagues and the president, if “me being a moderate centrist Democrat if that causes you a problem, let me know, and I’d switch to be an independent, but I’d still be caucusing with Democrats.”

Note to self.
Me thinks Manchin is sending a signal to Dems to get off his back by suggesting he thought of becoming an independent. Even if he sided with Dems on most votes, the fact that he left the Dem party would be the big story and very embarrassing for Biden and team because it happened on their watch because of them.
Me thinks Sinema must realize she’s lost all chance of ever being embraced by Dems in the future even if she gave them what they want now because too many see her as not one to be trusted. Her strategy to survive should be to try and build an independent minded politician reputation not following any party blindly and that could help her in the long run. Not sure it will win hearts in AZ but it’s better than being a party patsy and then not rewarded with support in the next election.

The new FOX poll shows a 4-point swing against Biden since the last one, then.
FOX is pimping that their new poll shows the “school board issue/CRT” is starting to hurt the DEMs. (Probably not great news for McA, either.)
Fox polls are lousy, mnw. Really lousy. Their state polls are particularly garbage. National Fox polls over inflate D numbers by about 5 pts.
Had Biden winning nationally in 2020 by 8 pts. They do a crummy job of polling rural voters.
Phil
Agreed.
But it’s the movement that counts, not their topline, as we here know.
I DID find their explanation about the CRT poll questions to be interesting. That issue seems to be resonating. McA calling it “a racist dog whistle” probably wasn’t the best response– instead of just saying, “It’s stupid. I oppose it. I’ve always stood against it, & that’s why it’s not being taught anywhere in VA schools.”
No sweaters in the audience. Plenty of concert t-shirts including at least a dozen Guns ‘n Roses ones. A good number of guys wearing Veterans hats – Vietnam was the most common. Good show.
Might see The Hooters tomorrow if tickets are available. I think we have Goo Goo Dolls and Bryan Adams soon. So many concerts were rescheduled from last year.
Alec Baldwin shot a killed someone today while filming a movie…
Baldwin fired a prop gun. Very odd and tragic. Reminiscent of the death of Bruce Lee’s son, Brandon, on set.
Alec Baldwin is a flaming leftist a-hole. However, that must be a heavy thing to carry on his conscience.
Something strange with this story. A prop gun either has blanks or dummy bullets. Blanks have wadding so you don’t to fire it close to your body because the wadding can be ejected with enough force to cause harm. Actor Jon-Erik Hexum died while fooling around with a prop gun, he put it to his head and fired it, the wadding drove a piece of his skull bone into his brain, a fatal injury.
Brandon was killed by a dummy bullet. Lacking real dummies, the crew had made some from real bullets, removing the gun powder. A real bullet tip became lodged in the cylinder or barrel, so later when a blank was fired at Brandon in another scene the bullet tip hit him in the stomach and killed him.
However there is no way a prop gun should have had enough fire power to hit two people at a distance, killing one and wounding another.
It sounds like the prop gun was loaded with real bullets.
823. One of the basic rules of gun safety. Always assume a gun is loaded — and that applies to any type of gun, even ones you think are harmless. A gun of any sort should not be pointed at anyone.
“Buttigieg Donors Want Him to Challenge Harris”
“Influential Democratic donors who backed Pete Buttigieg in 2020 are privately chattering about prodding him to run for the White House in 2024 if President Joe Biden doesn’t seek reelection,” Insider reports.
More than two dozen Democratic donors who want to eventually see the 39-year-old transportation secretary in the White House have been attending secret and informal dinners over the summer and into late September in traditional Democratic money-raising hubs including Washington, Wall Street, and Silicon Valley.
They’re driven in part by a lack of confidence in Vice President Kamala Harris’ performance so far, and some don’t think Buttigieg should wait in line behind Harris if Biden opts against running for a second term.”
So an individual who decides to adopt children and takes a maternity leave from newly appointed presidential cabinet position is somehow qualified to be president?
Every R should call for Fraudci to be fired and prosecuted.

Note to self.
No details on how Alec Baldwin killed one of his co-workers but honestly, how could this happen? Is gun safety not a priority to Hollywood if they’re gonna use them in film, even if loaded with blanks?
Most folks who own guns know basic gun safety and that you NEVER point a gun at anyone unless you’re ready to use lethal force, especially 1st checking to see if it’s loaded 1st.
Even prop guns with blanks have hazardous consequences as folks have unfortunately learned over the years.
Something smells fishy here with the missing details . How did two people get shot? How many times was the gun fired? Did one bullet do this damage to two people?
Alec got some bad karma coming his way for the way he treated people over the years and its reported he mocked Dick Cheney too over his hunting accident. I have no concern for his conscience, if he has one; he will forever now be mocked and the butt of jokes but unfortunately a young lady lost her life.

There is no way a blank would injure two people. And since the dead victim was a cinematographer it is unlikely Baldwin would be close enough to her to injure her with a blank.
More likely there was a live round in the gun, or something stuck in the barrel that acted as a projectile similar to what happened to Brandon Lee.
I have no sympathy for Baldwin, an arrogant and despicable ass, only for the victims and their families. The woman had a small child, really tragic. The other person has been released from the hospital.
Hey Ameister, long time no see. How goes it.
One of the basic rules of gun safety. Always assume a gun is loaded”
Yes, and always make double sure it is unloaded before putting it away after loading/firing it.
When you store a gun, it is easy six months or a year later to assume it is unloaded. This happened to me once like 25 years ago. I took a gun I rarely used out of storage, and as usual checked to see that it was unloaded. The clip was detached and empty, but lo and behold, there was a round in the chamber. I never made that mistake again.

“…among the undecided voters, 59% are leaning towards Ciattarelli and 41% are leaning towards Murphy. When these voters are allocated, the race tightens to four points, with Murphy at 52% and Ciattarelli at 48%.”
The undecided voters will probably break heavily against Murphy here in the homestretch and I think we can project some if this happening in Virginia against the Democrats.

Valid points about the contrast in the way left & right protesters were treated. I hate that, btw.
DC jails are by definition federal lockups. In every federal judicial district in the U.S., the USM (Marshals) house federal prisoners in county jails– usually those prisoners who are awaiting trial; or brought in for federal court hearings which aren’t expected to be lengthy. So the housing of the Jan. 6th defendants isn’t unusual, but the denial of bail IS.
If I could change just ONE thing, I’d like to see a cease fire in the politicization of federal law enforcement. I’d like to see the clock dialed back to 1988 or so on that.
I was shocked this week to learn that one of my former colleagues, i.e., before I retired (someone I liked a lot) had VOLUNTEERED to accept TDY in DC to help prosecute the Jan. 6th defendants. I knew her well & never suspected she had those kind of instincts.
Murphy’s latest ad has people sitting at a desk with a sign that says “Governor.” It is a mix of children, teens and an old guy saying what they would do if they were Governor. Liberal wish list of higher taxes on rich, protect the climate, etc. Teen girl wants a Governor who protects her right to abortion. Then it switched to Murphy saying he has done all of those things.
Ciattarelli’s ads attack Murphy for killing nursing home residents and destroying the economy.
Wes will say Murphy is a lock but a few points to rebut that:
A Democrat has not been elected to a second term of their own since the 1970s.
NeBiden is President and Murphy is keeping him away unless I missed a visit on the news.
Ciattarelli is advertising heavily on Philadelphia tv and radio – more than Murphy’s first opponent. This should help him run up votes in Central and South Jersey. Maybe NYC can tell us what ads are running on New York stations. I am visiting my dad this weekend so I will see if Ciattarelli is advertising up there.
Not sure who NeBiden is. Biden.
Mnw,, the ag indicated that he was limited on what he could do since it’s a sc jail.
He’s testified to this yesterday.
Bigger points they are reacting to a court order about the alleged deplorable treatment in the prison.
Dc jail* not federal property.
Of bigger concern perhaps is the Ag seemed aloof and had no knowledge of the Louden school matter.
The, you have the problem is that some people were allowed to enter the capitol by the Leo’s.

We need to be concerned with criminal justice abuses on either side.
Another explanation is that a dummy bullet or piece of it AND a blank were both loaded into the prop gun, where the dummy bullet was pushed into the barrel, so when the blank was fired the dummy bullet became a real projectile. That happened with Brandon Lee, the dummy bullet tip was still in the barrel.
Hard to see how that would happen, because in the Brandon Lee set they were using real bullets. without the powder, there should not have been any real bullets on this movie set.
I’d like to see a cease fire in the politicization of federal law enforcement.”
Will never happen.

The Attorney General of the United States (!!!) claims “he’s limited on what he can do since it’s a DC jail”? He said that? I hAdn’t realized that.
There are about 5000 AUSAs (going from memory & my info may be dated). But this is a FACT: the newest AUSA in Helena, MT can pick up the phone & ask the USM to move a federal prisoner to another jail, & the USM will usually do it within a few days at the most.
So if the AG is saying he has “limited ability” to get a fed prisoner moved to a different jail, that’s coffee-spewing nonsense, if that’s what hew’s claiming. The AG’s SECRETARY could do that!
Baris has the race tied in Virginia 47-47. Best Youngkin result thus far in his polls. Youngkin is down by only 12 among Hispanics which compared to 2017 results of 67-32 among Hispanics is quite telling.
Youngkin is going to win.
Well, Baris said it was going to be close.
He wasn’t kidding.
I would rather be Youngkin than McAuliffe in a tied race at this point because Youngkin seems to be on the upswing.
Babylon Bee:
“Kamala Harris Instructed To Stop Answering All Her Phone Calls With ‘Did He Die?'”
For longtime posters here who remember poster RDELBOV:
He has lengthy posts in the Comments section at RRH today, regarding EV in VA. RDEL concludes that the EV in VA looks promising for Youngkin so far, because proportionately more of the EV is coming from rural counties.
DEM posters at RRH furiously challenge RDEL’s EV analysis.
RDEL stopped posting here years ago, because he hated all the crude, profane posts.
Rdel did the right thing, if he didn’t like it here. I recommend it for anyone else that doesn'[t like the “crude, profane posts”.
But I think another reason rdelbov left was because he got a lot of grief for “unskewing polls”.
In any case he would be welcome back.
RDEL concludes that the EV in VA looks promising for Youngkin so far, because proportionately more of the EV is coming from rural counties.”
Not sure that alone is very promising, because you are probably just cannibalizing the rural vote.
What you need is there to be a lower turnout in the large urban center vote, and the change in the urban/rural vote ratio may or may not indicate that.
It could be that urban voters are more comfortable voting in person than they were in 2020. Or it could be they are less enthusiastic. We will know soon.
It might be close, Bitter, but Ciattarelli has a 0% chance against Murphy even in the current political environment. New Jersey is simply too far gone. I’d love to see Murphy lose. It’s not going to happen.
Mnw, he said a lot of whoppers.
I am surprised that Republicans are not asking him to resign.
Youngkin says his internal polling has him + 3.
FWIW.
I am surprised that Republicans are not asking him to resign”
Let’s get real, he won’t resign.
But remember when the Dems whined he didn’t get a vote in the senate which was supposedly a travesty because he was a “moderate”.
He is no moderate, he is a far left wing ideologue.
“If Murphy only wins by 6 in NJ McAuliffe is toast in VA.”
jason–that was in the old USA. These things no longer move together, in the age of one state producing an honest election, while another is stolen. For instance, in 2020: Cleveland, OH is the same demographic as Milwaukee, WI. The alleged turnout in the two cities was radically different because WI was stolen, while OH was not.
How Rs voted to confirm the “moderate.”
When will they arrest Fraudci, the garden gnome?

Scalise says GOP memo on closed-door Birx testimony confirms world was ‘misled’ on COVID.
RDelbov was a good poster but his unskewing polls almost always lead to bad predictions.
It might be close, Bitter, but Ciattarelli has a 0% chance against Murphy”
I wouldn’t say 0. I give him a 10% chance. 20% if there is a huge storm over Hudson, Essex and Union counties on election day.
Stateless Departmenr confirms that there are 360 hostages still in Afghanistan. Not 100.
And probably way more too.
I was talking about SCOTUS, Garland never got a vote, thanks to McConnell.
I’ll give him 0%, Jason. New Jersey is a festering sore of a state. The inhabitants like it that way; ergo, Murphy is a guaranteed winner.
We are talking about the same people who knowingly and willingly reelected a corrupt child molester who literally in public threatened federal prosecutors for charging him after the jury deadlocked to the Senate by double digits in 2018. I have no hope Murphy loses.
I give him more than the 1% that Princeton pollster gave Trump in 2016. The one that had to eat a live bug on national TV.
https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2016/11/12/pollster-eats-bug-after-trump-win-smerconish.cnn
You have to remember, Jason, New Jersey is essentially a third-world banana republic run by a thugocracy. I’m not sure how that translates to even a remote chance for Ciattarelli.
So the 2nd IA map came out and is has some mangled lines…it will obviously be rejected by the gop. Seeing how badly drawn the “bipartisan commission” are making the lines to make a 2-2 delegation I am actually starting to thing the GOP can gerrymander a 4-0 and it look no worse than the 2nd map.

McAuliffe sends out fundraising letter warning “enthusiasm at an all time low”.
https://twitter.com/ehdomenech/status/1451232374113640455/photo/1
This is just sick:
https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2021/10/22/email-shows-loudoun-county-school-board-knew-about-sexual-assault-the-day-it-happened-contradicting-previous-statements-n424194
Essentially school board liberals knew about the rape of that young girl by a boy claiming to be transgender and tried to cover it up.
Where exactly are all the liberals in the #MeToo movement on this?
Why are they not outraged a school board tried to cover up the rape of a teenage girl?
Fundraising letters generally use apocalyptic language to generate enthusiasm both for money and for turnout in races. What McAuliffe sent out smacks more of desperation.
Thankfully Pitchaboy called the race for TMac yesterday, so I’m comfortable with saying Youngkin wins.
Purely from an on-the-ground view, I don’t see how Jack gets 50.001% to win. I do think it will be close, as I don’t see the minority vote coming out in force for Murphy. BUT, I also don’t see many suburban moms switching their Democratic votes to Republican ones, especially since there are still mail-in options available to them.
Hope I am wrong.
One thing I think Murphy did that was smart – he gave employees the option of vaccination or testing. He did not mandate the vaccine.
RDEL at RRH:
“You call it tortured– I call it a nuanced but balanced explanation of the VA EV numbers. Imo, the best assurance I have that my observations are correct is that the MSM and liberal sites are not ecstatic about the EV numbers in VA… Go back and look at media coverage of EV numbers in GA in 2020. Our D posters here linked to article after article about how great the EV numbers were in GA. Go out there and try to find even ONE article about how happy the Ds are with the VA EV numbers… The % of D counties that have turned out relative to the % of R counties from 2020 to 2021 is down. That is the headline. The overall decline in EV suggests that younger voters & minority voters are turning out in lesser numbers than in 2020. That is the rest of the story.”

I read that in 2020, NJ sent out ballots to everyone registered to vote, but that this year a voter has to request that one be mailed.
I can’t vouch for the accuracy of that.
mnw,
I thought NJ had gone back to needing a request, but I have seen reports in local rags about ballots being received. Those reports are not confirmed.
Mnw, I often don’t agree with Rdel’s analysis because his bias frequently skews him away from reality. He has a point with this one though. That a Democrat on that site who’s already declared TMac will win feels the need to nitpick him and try to dismiss what he says tells me something.
my mother was registered to vote in massachusetts for several years after she died
i know this because I briefly lived in massachusetts around 2012 or so, and voted at the same polling station, and her name was just after mine on the rv list
she died in 2008, so 4 years at least
we both may still be registered there, i still am in ny
still registered in il, nh and maine too i think, but not in indiana anymore
What was changed?

What is going on in VA right now with changes in voting rules is a huge shot across the bow for the future of voting integrity. More on this on Monday.
This is interesting:
https://mobile.twitter.com/rpyers/status/1451629770215591939
Nick Begich III will challenge Don Young in the AK-AL primary.
Begich is the grandson of AK’s last Dem Congressman–Nick Begich–who in 1972 disappeared along with LA Congressman Hale Biggs.
Boggs*, who was viewed as the potential next Speaker of the House. Neither Boggs nor Begich was ever recovered, and Alaskans in a show of sympathy posthumously reelected Begich in 1972. This triggered a special election current Congressman Don Young won in March 1973.
Begich is also the nephew of former AK Senator Mark Begich (D). His pedigree makes the younger Begich’s political affiliation curious.

One DEM county announced they were going to ignore the state law requiring voters to put the last 4 #s of their SSN on mail-in ballot requests. They got sued immediately, & that’s the last I heard. This was yesterday.
Some counties have asked the governor to put back in place all the extra COVID-related drop boxes they had in 2020, but I don’t think that’s happened yet.
I don’t know what else Margot Cleveland is referring to. (Sounds to me like she’s teasing her Monday article!)
Wes
“Begich” is certainly not a name one expects to see on a GOP primary ballot. If I were voting up there, I’d want to make very sure Begich isn’t a Murkowski RINO.
The USAF looked for the plane crash site every day for MONTHS. You ever know anybody who died in a plane crash? I don’t. In AK, almost everyone does.
Mindy Boggs (D-LA) was Hale’s daughter, I think, wasn’t she? — a big pain in the tail she was, too.
Interesting thing about Nick Begich, Mnw:
He defeated Don Young posthumously but also in 1970 defeated future Senator and Governor Frank Murkowski.
Putting aside his daughter’s frequently RINOish tendencies–though she has remained a loyal ally of her co-Senator, Dan Sullivan (R-AK) and campaigned fiercely for him in 2014–and his own disastrous tenure as Governor, Murkowski probably benefited from the loss as it helped him hone his campaign skills and become in 1980 the first Republican ever elected to AK’s Class 3 Senate seat.
Despite frequently being a target of both Democrats and Republicans for defeat, Don Young has had a solid hold on his House seat for nearly 50 years and shows no sign of retiring till he becomes physically unable to hang onto the seat.
If Young manages to survive that long, in April 2033, just short of his 100th birthday, he’ll be the longest serving Congressman in history.
Mnw, thanks, I guess stay tune for her article on Monday,
More trivia about Young:
In 2013 with the death of Congressman Bill Young (R-FL), Young became the Dean of the House Republican Conference. It’s ironic that at the time, the two most senior Republicans were named Young.
Four years later, in 2017, Congressman John Conyers (D-MI) resigned because of a sexual harassment scandal. At that point, Young became the first GOP Dean of the House since March 1933.
Actually, Mnw, Lindy Boggs was the wife of Hale Boggs.
Bill Jefferson (D-LA) succeeded Lindy as the Congressman from the New Orleans-based seat. He ultimately lost reelection to Joseph Cao (R-LA) in a December 2008 special election. Cao subsequently lost reelection to Cedric Richmond (D-LA), currently a member of the Biden Administration whom Joe himself recently insulted as “boy.”
The Nation says of Gubbernor Murphy:
Many who were once skeptical of the former investment banker now admit that New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s policies are compassionate and forward-thinking.
https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/phil-murphy-new-jersey/
900!
Murphy has simply stayed more reasonable, or killed fewer elderly, than most Democratic governors.
He is still a tax-and-spend liberal Democrat….but then again, spending doesn’t seem to be a big issue these days……
JulStol – how are you doing?
Are you now a Dad? Correct?
Did I already congratulate you on that?
NYC,
Doing well. Little guy is 3 and a half months old. He’s perfect. Even sleeping through the night.

Nice to see you posting here again.
MNW,
I’m always around, just don’t generally post. I’m usually lurking over on RRH too.
Those of us who wade through RRH deserve some sort of hardship bonus.
News from the “Right” perspective? It’s a perspective I can’t recognize as politically to the “Right” in any way.
