[Wisconsin Right Now via CFP] A 14-year-old boy carjacked and sexually assaulted an 87-year-old female at knifepoint while she was returning books to the Waukesha Public Library located at 321 Wisconsin Ave., Waukesha, sources have told WRN.
Capt. Dan Baumann did confirm for WRN that the suspect is 14, the victim is 87, and she was sexually assaulted at knifepoint. "This incident is sad and disgusting, but I’m very mindful of the privacy issues surrounding with both victim and suspect," he said, declining to give further details. We obtained further details from sources.
UPDATE: WRN can now report that the suspect is the nephew of Milwaukee Common Council President and Milwaukee Mayoral candidate Cavalier Johnson.
Cavalier Johnson did respond to our request for comment:
One of our sources claimed some in the system are worried about "BLM outrage" if the boy, who is black, is charged as an adult. However, we’ve also learned that Waukesha police want him charged as an adult. That decision will ultimately be made by Waukesha County District Attorney Sue Opper’s office.
The Les Paul Middle School resource officer observed the elderly woman in distress in the parking lot and went out to talk with her. The woman was trying to wave down the officer’s empty squad. The school is located at 325 Carroll Street. We first received a tip about the attack from a person who didn’t believe the school was very transparent with parents about what exactly happened.
The suspect was located by police in the victim’s car a short time later and was taken into custody. Sources said police executed a search warrant on the suspect’s home and recovered the victim’s items from the home.
The teen allegedly held the woman at knifepoint on November 30, and had only recently moved to Waukesha from Milwaukee. He then forced the woman into her car and "drove around while forcing the woman to perform sex acts on him."
The boy's mother has been trying to fundraise for his defense on Facebook. She wrote: "He has looked up to his uncle who is in politics his whole entire life inspiring to be just like him."
"My son came into a group of young men who he thought were his friends and talked him into doing something that he should’ve had a mind-frame strong enough to know it was a terrible decision and now the county is declared him a menace to society," she wrote.

So could political Uncle just possibly be among those mysterious someones "in the system" who are threatening to unleash BLM furies if this monster is held for trial?
We are way beyond the state of affairs that prevailed in the days of Bernhard Goetz. We are now living under what Samuel Francis called anarcho-tyranny.
How much longer are we supposed to tolerate this?
When do we put an end to the madness?

Moved from Milwaukee to Waukesha. Targeted a white 87 year-old lady for his violent sadism and depravity.
Why, I'm beginning to notice a pattern here. It's almost as if there's a competition here among Milwaukee blacks to see who can outdo the rest for monstrous violence toward old white women in Waukesha.
Who is the "uncle"? Where "in politics" does he "work"?
Where the f--k is our FB-eye in all this?
Oh right.... silly me. They're out chasing white supremacist terrorists at school board meetings. Sorry, granny.

1 - he is a menace to society. He sexually assaulted a 87 YO woman.
2 - You (the mother) trained him along with his uncle.

For all the jokes about going over Niagara Falls in a barrel — and the few idiots who’ve survived it — the falls are truly dangerous.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
The Coast Guard pulled the body of a 66-year-old woman from her car as it teetered near the edge of Niagara Falls on the United States side Wednesday afternoon
Videos posted to social media documented the horrifying moment after the woman was stuck in her car about 50 yards from the brink of the Falls for about two hours as snow fell
When rescue crews arrived on the scene at around 1pm, they did not see the woman moving
The car entered the river between a vehicle and pedestrian bridge to Goat Island in New York
It remains unclear whether the driver entered the water intentionally or accidentally
The car became stuck on rocks near the edge, and photos and videos posted to social media showed the black sedan almost completely submerged
Authorities remained on the scene as of Wednesday evening, as they attempted to retrieve the car

So is this because the foundational problem with C-19/21 and how it was handled?
In that it failed to achieve the needed and forecasted 4.6% world-wide northern hemisphere reduction in lighter skin color Senior/medically compromised persons?
[ABC News] At least 12 major U.S. cities have broken annual homicide records in 2021 -- and there's still three weeks to go in the year.
Of the dozen cities that have already surpassed the grim milestones for killings, five topped records that were set or tied just last year.
"It's terrible to every morning get up and have to go look at the numbers and then look at the news and see the stories. It's just crazy. It's just crazy and this needs to stop," Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said after his city surpassed its annual homicide record of 500, which stood since 1990.
Philadelphia, a city of roughly 1.5 million people, has had more homicides this year (521 as of Dec. 6) than the nation's two largest cities, New York (443 as of Dec. 5) and Los Angeles (352 as of Nov. 27). That's an increase of 13% from 2020, a year that nearly broke the 1990 record.
Chicago, the nation's third-largest city, leads the nation with 739 homicides as of the end of November, up 3% from 2020, according to Chicago Police Department crime data. Chicago's deadliest year remains 1970 when there were 974 homicides.
Philadelphia's homicide record was broken in the same week that Columbus, Indianapolis and Louisville eclipsed records for slayings.
Experts say there are a number of reasons possibly connected to the jump in homicides, including strained law enforcement staffing, a pronounced decline in arrests and continuing hardships from the pandemic, but that there is no clear answer across the board. Get woke, get dead. 5 CITIES SURPASS RECORDS SET IN 2020
Other major cities that have surpassed yearly homicide records are St. Paul, Minnesota; Portland, Oregon; Tucson, Arizona; Toledo, Ohio; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Austin, Texas; Rochester, New York; and Albuquerque, New Mexico, which broke its record back in August.
Indianapolis, Columbus, Louisville, Toledo and Baton Rouge broke records set in 2020, while St. Paul surpassed a record set in 1992.
Among the major cities on the brink of setting new homicide records are Milwaukee, which has 178 homicides, 12 short of a record set in 2020; and Minneapolis, which has 91 homicides, six shy of a record set in 1995.
According to the FBI's annual Uniform Crime Report released in September, the nation saw a 30% increase in murder in 2020, the largest single-year jump since the bureau began recording crime statistics 60 years ago.
'NOBODY'S GETTING ARRESTED'
Robert Boyce, retired chief of detectives for the New York Police Department and an ABC News contributor, said that while there is no single reason for the jump in slayings, one national crime statistic stands out to him.
"Nobody’s getting arrested anymore," Boyce said. "People are getting picked up for gun possession and they're just let out over and over again."
The FBI crime data shows that the number of arrests nationwide plummeted 24% in 2020, from the more than 10 million arrests made in 2019. The number of 2020 arrests -- 7.63 million -- is the lowest in 25 years, according to the data. FBI crime data is not yet available for 2021.

...Rome was the first city to reach a population of a million, after the Vandals (can you say smash and grab) and others toured the place, it was down to around 100,000 when the infrastructure and government collapsed that had sustained it.
They're planning a downtown MOAT!
[FoxNews] Chicago’s police department is reportedly telling its commanders to familiarize themselves with a plan to shut down the city’s central business district ahead of potential unrest this weekend.
The drastic measure -- mentioned in a new internal memo circulating amongst staff -- is just an option on the table at this point, according to WLS. Last weekend, violence plagued Chicago’s Loop neighborhood and officers have been ordered this week to cancel upcoming days off "to address current crime patterns."
Another part of the memo, titled Central Business District Emergency Closure Procedures, explains how the Loop and Magnificent Mile areas could be closed, WLS reports, similar to what was done during rioting and looting that occurred in 2020. The station says commanders are being told to review the shutdown plan.
In the 2020 demonstrations, some of which took place right after the death of George Floyd, the Chicago Police Department raised several bridges that connect downtown areas to the city's north and west sides so that protesters could not cross.
See? Moat.
In this past weekend’s unrest in the Loop neighborhood, two teens ages 12 and 15 were reported shot, dozens of young people flooded the area, fights broke out, police made 21 arrests of youths, a police officer suffered a broken arm, another officer was injured, and a convenience store owner was punched in the face.
A Chicago bus driver also landed in the hospital after he was beaten on the streets that night in the same area, resulting in a 15-year-old boy being arrested.
The social media account likely responsible for pulling together the unruly crowd is now planning a second event for this Saturday, according to CWB Chicago.

Usually lots of out-of-town visitors shopping in the Loop on weekends this time of year. Brings Millions of dollars to the local economy for not only the large stores, but boutique shops, restaurants, museums, etc.
Not a good scenario.

[FoxNews] Classic car fan Alex Orchin has driven the entire length of Great Britain a Peel P50, which is the world’s smallest production car, according to Guinness World Records.
The three-wheeler was originally built in the 1960s, but rebooted in the past decade in 40 cc single-cylinder gasoline and electric motor versions.
Reminds me of the 3 wheel little Messerschmitt cars I saw in Germany in the early 1960's. They were under 500 lbs and had little more than lawnmower engine in them.

[An Nahar] Saudi authorities have conducted their biggest-ever crackdown on camel beauty contestants that received Botox injections and other artificial touch-ups, the state-run Saudi Press Agency reported Wednesday, with over 40 camels disqualified from the annual pageant. Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... 's popular King Abdulaziz Camel Festival, which kicked off earlier this month, invites the breeders of the most beautiful camels to compete for some $66 million in prize money. Botox injections, face lifts and other cosmetic alterations to make the camels more attractive are strictly prohibited. Jurors decide the winner based on the shape of the camels' heads, necks, humps, dress and postures.
Judges at the month-long festival in the desert northeast of the Saudi capital, Riyadh, are escalating their clamp down on artificially enhanced camels, the official news agency reported, using "specialized and advanced" technology to detect tampering.
This year, authorities discovered dozens of breeders had stretched out the lips and noses of camels, used hormones to boost the beasts' muscles, injected camels' heads and lips with Botox to make them bigger, inflated body parts with rubber bands and used fillers to relax their faces.
"The club is keen to halt all acts of tampering and deception in the beautification of camels," the SPA report said, adding organizers would "impose strict penalties on manipulators."

[An Nahar] Two ground staff at an international cricket stadium in Sri Lanka were killed in an elephant attack, officials said Wednesday.The two workers were heading home on Tuesday evening when they were attacked outside the Suriyawewa Mahinda Rajapaksa international stadium in Hambantota.
Their bodies were found around 500 meters (550 yards) apart, a Sri Lanka Cricket official told AFP, adding that while there were no witnesses, a single animal was believed to have attacked both men.
The venue is near a wildlife sanctuary and in a largely rural area known for human-elephant conflict due to habitat loss.
The men had been carrying out preparatory work for the semi-finals and finals of the Lanka Premier League due to be held at the stadium later this month.

Their bodies were found [in pieces] around 500 meters (550 yards) apart
[SAHARAREPORTERS] Youths in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, on Wednesday, lynched two hoodlums who allegedly specialized in robbing Point of Sale (POS) operators and other soft targets in the state capital.The suspected thieves were caught and set ablaze by the youths after they were overpowered.
Vanguard reports the incident occurred at about 10:30 am when the two robbers tried to overpower a PoS attendant while dispensing cash to customers at Ikot Oku Ikono, near the newly inaugurated fly-over on the outskirt of Uyo, the state capital.
An eyewitness, Nyenime Effiong, told journalists that the suspects ran out of luck when the alarm raised by the PoS attendant attracted angry youths, who pounced on them and set fire on them before the arrival of police.
"They thought their operation would be swift, but it turned to be the end of the road for them. They arrived on a cycle of violence. One of them suddenly accosted the PoS operator with a gun and demanded cash.
"She immediately screamed at the sight of the gun, but in a swift reaction, some commercial minibus and tricycle drivers with other angry youths trooped to the scene and chased the thieves to where they were overpowered.
The criminals, who perpetrate their nefarious activities using cycle of violences, according to some vigilant youths, "are also in the habits of targeting pump attendants at filling stations and supermarkets on the metropolis".
Worried by the new wave of crimes hitting some soft targets as the Yuletide approaches, the youths, according to Effiong Bassey, have mobilized some vigilante groups in some crime-prone streets on the capital, including Ibiam, Atiku Abubakar, Ikpa Road, Urua Ekpa, Ikot Oku Ubo, and other adjoining streets.
A spokesperson for the police in the state, Odiko Macdon, condemned the act saying that jungle justice has no place in criminal justice administration.
He said, "They should have been apprehended and handed over to the police. But they took the law into their own hands. An innocent person might be killed, lynched, or maimed. So the best thing is to hand the person to the police.
"You cannot be the complainant, the police, the prosecutor, the judge in a matter of such nature. It’s becoming rampant and unacceptable. The Commissioner of Police is miffed by such development and he has said that henceforth, such an act will not be tolerated."

#Bangladesh sentences 20 people to death for the brutal 2019 murder of a university student who criticized the government on social media, says a prosecutor.https://t.co/JLPKqZ5nTM
Bangladesh sentenced 20 people to death on Wednesday for the brutal 2019 murder of a university student who criticized the government on social media, a prosecutor told AFP.
"Twenty people have been sentenced to death and five people were sentenced to life in prison over the killing of Abrar Fahad," prosecutor Abdullah Abu said.
A Dhaka court sentenced 20 student members of the ruling party’s youth wing to death and five others to life in prison Wednesday for fatally beating a fellow student at a prestigious engineering school because he had criticized the government online.
The 25 used cricket bats and other objects to beat to death Abrar Fahad, a student at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), in a residential hall in October 2019 after he posted comments via Facebook that were critical of Prime Minister the loathesome Sheikh Hasina ...Bangla dynastic politician and current Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She has been the President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She has once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia show such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums... ’s government, according to authorities.
University campuses in Bangladesh are an arena for boisterous debate between youth wings of rival political parties, but this can turn violent mostly peaceful.
The judge said the suspects had spread rumors that Abrar had been a member of Islami Chhatra Shibir ... the student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh... , the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami ...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... party, which worked against Bangladesh during the country’s war of independence from Pakistain in 1971.
A second-year student in electrical engineering at BUET, Abrar was beaten on Oct. 7, 2019, by the members of the Chhatra League ... the student wing of the Bangla Awami League ... , the student wing of the Awami League party.
His killing ignited protests on campuses across the country.
Three of the defendants absconded following the incident while the others have been tossed in the calaboose Book 'im, Mahmoud! since shortly after the attack.
[The Observatorial] ITV’s Morning Show ’Good Morning Britain’ has been criticized on social media after it removed a poll which showed that the vast majority of respondents opposed compulsory vaccination.
The poll, which asked viewers "is it time to make vaccines mandatory" in response to the spread of the Omicron variant, was posted on Twitter on Tuesday and soon received more than 42,000 votes.
89% of those who voted — opposed any plan to make the vaccine mandatory, only 11% voted in favor.
However, after the poll went viral, social platform users noticed it was deleted by Good Morning Britain’s Twitter account, and critics blamed the show for trying to obscure the public consensus.
"Why did you delete this poll, is it because they asked you to? Or because it shows that people do not support this shit, in this tyrannical future that your colleagues seem to want. We see you," one person wrote, while another suggested, "I guess it is. It was not the answer they were looking for. "
Good morning Britain — accompanied by commentator Piers Morgan — did not explain why they removed the survey.
[American Thinker] A paywalled IT industry publication called The Information has published a blockbuster report titled, "Inside Tim Cook’s Secret $275 Billion Deal with Chinese Authorities." Only 2 paragraphs are visible to non-subscribers, Hartley Charlton of MacRumors has published a summary of it that is available to all. You can read the whole thing quickly, but here are some highlights:
Tim Cook personally forged a five-year agreement with the Chinese government during a series of in-person visits to the country in 2016. The need to push for a closer alliance with the Chinese government reportedly came from a number of Apple executives who were concerned about bad publicity in China and the company's poor relationship with Chinese officials, who believed that Apple was not contributing enough to the local economy.
Alleged internal documents show that Cook "personally lobbied officials" in China over threats made against Apple Pay, iCloud, and the App Store. Cook set out to use a "memorandum of understanding" between Apple and a powerful Chinese government agency called the National Development and Reform Commission to formally agree to a number of concessions in return for regulatory exemptions. The 1,250-word agreement was written by Apple's government affairs team in China and stewarded by Cook as he met with Chinese officials.
Apple has apparently agreed to benefit China more. It has invested a billion dollars in a Chinese ride-share app and made
...a pledge from Apple to help Chinese manufacturers develop "the most advanced manufacturing technologies," "support the training of high-quality Chinese talents," use more components from Chinese suppliers, sign deals with Chinese software firms, collaborate with research in Chinese universities, and directly invest in Chinese tech companies, as well as assistance with around a dozen Chinese government causes. If there were no objections from either side, the deal would be automatically be extended for an additional year until May 2022, according to the agreement.
Apple vowed to invest "many billions of dollars more" than its current expenditure in China, including on new retail stores, research and development facilities, and renewable energy projects.
Given the rapidly escalating tensions between China and the free world, Apple may find itself accused of divided loyalties or worse, along with much of the high-tech community. China’s evident commitment to using high-tech information tools to control its population more effectively than previous totalitarians could have dreamed of makes the relationship particularly awkward.
The agreements are not just various investing, training or repairing relationships with officials of a foreign government, but are more toward abetting the outright theft of current American technological advances and know-how.

I concur with your comment Fairbanks. Another great betrayal facilitated by corrupt a government. If Cook is to be hung, thousands must then follow him to the gallows. Obviously, that will never happen.
[BLS.gov] Nonfarm business sector labor productivity decreased 5.2 percent in the third quarter of 2021, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today, as output increased 1.8 percent and hours worked increased 7.4 percent. This is the largest decline in quarterly productivity since the second quarter of 1960, when the measure decreased 6.1 percent. (All quarterly percent changes in this release are seasonally adjusted annual rates.) From the third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2021, nonfarm business sector labor productivity decreased 0.6 percent. This four-quarter rate is the largest decline since the fourth quarter of 1993, when the measure also declined 0.6 percent. (See table A1.)
Unit labor costs in the nonfarm business sector increased at an annual rate of 9.6 percent in the third quarter of 2021, reflecting a 3.9-percent increase in hourly compensation and a 5.2-percent decrease in productivity. Unit labor costs increased 6.3 percent over the last four quarters. IMO, the biggest contributor to this is the supply chain problem because it results in workers sitting around waiting for parts. The second biggest contributor is covid related issues as workers take time to be in compliance with rules and have to leave production for breaks when masks make breathing a problem. The third biggest contributor is the exit of experienced workers from their jobs, either to retire or seek new jobs which scrambles production teams who require time to adjust. Anyway, this is truly horrible.

Here's the right way to engage: Ask yourselves what our vital interest is in Ukraine. Try in good faith to answer that question honestly -- and you'll see that, in reality, we have none. It's ludicrous to uphold the Monroe Doctrube while denying Russia the right to its own sphere of interest in a territory bordering Russia, where Russian is spoken, where the US has no conceivable interest at all, and which has for over 1,000 years been central to the consciousness of Russians as a distinct people.
You're deluded if you think we ought to stir up a hornet's nest in a corrupt and worthless shithole like Ukraine. Even the potential argument that somehow we need a presence on the Black Sea falls flat: we already have allies all over the western and southern sides of the Black Sea! Why on earth do we need to encroach and expand NATO even further than we've already done?
This is more madness from an administration that has gone berserk.
Presided over by a shit-for-brains mendacious hair-sniffing corrupt clown.

The lines have been drawn. Russian Chief of General Staff General Valery Gerasimov has stated Russia will intervene should Ukraine chose to settle the Donbass issue using military force.
All Ukraine has to do to avoid a conflict with Russia is not fire on Russian troops. And since they are not on the border within range of Ukrainian artillery, the issue will go no further.
It appears Russia learned some lessons from the 2008 War for South Ossetia is to not put troops within range.

We did uphold the Monroe Doctrine, in '62 -- when Kennedy implicitly recognized a reciprocal Russian (then-Soviet) sphere of interest, by withdrawing the Jupiter missiles from our own ally in Russia's backyard.
All we had to do wrt Ukraine was live up to our promises made to Gorbachev and Yeltsin that we would not expand NATO. In contrast to Kennedy and his five successors, under Bush Pete and Clinton we decided to break our promises, throw away reciprocity, press our advantage and humiliate the Russians by expanding NATO everywhere possible.
Then Nuland and that fool Soetoro got it into their heads that Ukraine, the most corrupt country north of Nigeria, needed to be brought into both the EU and NATO!
So of course the Russians are loaded for bear, as it were. Any Russian leader would resist these serial attempts to humiliate his nation in his backyard. Has nothing to do with Putin.

We do a great job here of standing around with our pants around our ankles at our own border. We have no business telling others how to manage theirs.

I have enough enemies. I don't need any more. You are a good guy, Merrick. We basically agree on everything that matters. I just left the idealism out with the trash some time back. I'm one of the guys in the Vinegar Tasters woodcut. I'm one of the smilers. The vinegar is supposed to be bitter. Something would be wrong if it wasn't.
I do want a better future for your kids. Merry Christmas!

The 1998 agreement between Russia and Ukraine that removed nuclear weapons from Ukraine in delivered them through United States for DMIL is the agreement that right now is being breached.
The treaty was meant and designed to protect Ukraine once they no longer had nuclear weapons as they were afraid Russia would invade if they gave up their nuclear weapons.
they gave up their nuclear weapons and russia invaded anyway.
[Townhall] First, an interesting polling note about this pollster itself. The Wall Street Journal has teamed up with NBC News to conduct national and state-level surveys for decades -- and we've analyzed them many times. But that longstanding alliance has apparently been dissolved, as the Journal launches its own proprietary polling product without any media partners. Axios reported on this development a few days ago, mining a few worthwhile nuggets:
Now, it's launching a new polling operation without media partners and it's bringing on campaign experts to help, the Journal’s executive Washington editor Jerry Seib told Axios. The company has contracted two firms led by John Anzalone, the lead pollster for President Biden's 2020 presidential campaign, and Tony Fabrizio, the lead pollster for former President Trump's presidential 2016 and 2020 campaigns. The firms will help put together the new "The Wall Street Journal Poll." The quarterly poll will explore political trends and voter sentiments around key issues. The data will be deployed across all Dow Jones properties, including Barron’s, Dow Jones Newswires and MarketWatch. The polls will have larger sample sizes, "to add confidence to the results and be able to look at demographic groups with increased statistical reliability," Seib said.
I think political observers should welcome innovations and changes in the polling space, given some of the industry's infamous flops and misses over the years (although successes sometimes get overlooked). That's why I find Trafalgar's work so intriguing. The inaugural Wall Street Journal poll was released yesterday, and its results are rather ugly for President Biden and his party. Let's start with the top line number on approval:

The WSJ readers are looking for market insights.
Jerry Seib, Gerald Baker and the other experienced and talented editors of this premier financial & political news empire spot the connections between this administration's near-total collapse and where the stock market is going.

A poll I saw yesterday showed if Biden ran against Trump today he would win 46-44. So, as bad as we all know Biden is, nearly half the country thinks Trump is worse.

^^^Which is why, although I wholeheartedly support President Trump, I hope he won't run again. Just too many people have a visceral hatred of him that clouds all other considerations. And I do NOT want another 4 years of Biden or whoever.

According to BofA, the previous four instances of negative real earnings yield were the post-World War II bear market, the stagflation era of the 1970s, the 1980s “Volcker shock” period when the Federal Reserve raised interest rates aggressively to tame inflation, and the 2000 tech bubble.

Hey Glenmore about this one: TheHill.com More voters would pick Trump over Biden if election were held today: poll By Tal Axelrod - 12/06/21
More voters would back former President Trump than President Biden in a hypothetical match-up if the 2024 election were held today, according to a new Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey released exclusively to The Hill. Forty-eight percent of voters in the survey said they would back Trump, compared with 45 percent for Biden. Another 8 percent were unsure.
many people have phones with caller ID and won't answer; some people lie to pollsters just for fun, some people are so ignorant they don't understand the questions
I don't know how you would even analyze margin of error
If I were in the biz I would have a semi permanent focus group

Polls? Who needs stinking polls when the voting systems is still rigged. Brandon will get a 100 million votes in the next election or how many they need to create.
[Red State] Two Democratic senators just crossed the aisle and voted with the Republicans, 52-48, against Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates on private companies with 100 employees and over.
