[LI] Reports indicate prosecutor John Durham will not issue a report or hand down indictments in the corrupt attempt to disrupt Trump’s 2016 campaign and transition until after the 2020 election. That’s too late, it’s relevant to voters now. It’s now or never. And it appears never.

The biggest problem is that if they let them go, and nobody goes to trail or jail, then it WILL happen again.
Pussies like Durham, chickenshits who are afraid to do the right things and call out criminals inside the government, are going to destroy whatever is left of the nation after the leftists and media are done.
#10
Nobody on this side is awaiting the report to decide how to vote, and nobody on the other side cares what the report says except those who will go to trial as a result. On the third hand, the very few Undecideds will just have to make their decisions based on one of the many other items being trumpeted in the news, just like every election.
As for me, enough information comes out each week that I am amply satisfied that we know enough of the players, and each month more of them retire from the playing field. If they are paid lots of money by fools to make noise in echo chambers instead of having their hands anywhere near the levers of power, I’m fine with that as an interim solution.
It's unusual, but not impossible... Are we taking unlikely events happening to the 10% of the planet who caught WuFlu and writing headlines for the unlucky to sound like it's common?

Decline in demonic possession!
Perhaps it's divine intervention,
But just to be sure,
Let us work on a cure...
And more means of domestic repression.

Mr. Wife and I got our flu shots today. Four different influenza vaccines in combination, all extra strong. With luck this years flu season will be very mild, to make up for the Coronavirus excitement.

On parade, hail priests of King Tuttin'
With charade, held sprigs and a-struttin'
Crushed tea leaves of the theory
Smelled vapors, quite weary

I spoke with a nurse the other day, and she said that there are hopes for a milder flu season as people continue their hygiene like washing hands, etc. We'll see.
I haven't heard anybody blame this all on Al-Qaeda, but I suspect that's passé.
[WashingtonExaminer] Add John Zogby to the growing number of Democratic pollsters questioning major media surveys showing a double-digit lead by Joe Biden over President Trump.
"It’s closer than you think," according to Zogby, who’s own John Zogby Strategies survey puts Biden’s lead at two points, 49%-47%.
In his latest podcast with son and pollster Jeremy Zogby, John Zogby said that polls showing a bigger Biden lead are using a bad model, one that includes far too many Democrats.
His model follows the partisan turnout in 2016 that was about 34% Republicans and about 38% Democrats.
"We believe that is a more accurate reflection of the turnout model," he said.
But others showing a big Biden lead over-weigh Democrats. "Now some of the polls that have come out, I find troubling," he said, citing CNN, Fox, and YouGov. They give an average 15-point advantage to Democrats. CNN had it a 16-point lead.
While the elder Zogby didn’t cite a reason other pollsters are showing a bigger Biden lead, his son Jeremy did — Biden bias.
"To me, it’s only two things. It’s deliberate, or it's a projection of bias, and I would go with the latter," he said in their weekly conversation, The Zogby Report.
"If you live in an area, and you live in an echo chamber, and most of your friends think a certain way, a lot of times the echo chamber effect is that you tend to project, ’How could people think such a certain way, clearly, for example, the president is out of mind, and he’s bad for this country, he’s bad for the world, so of course people are going to turn out in droves for Biden.’ I’m afraid that that’s what’s happening, a projection of bias in the data," he said.
Trump’s pollsters agree.
John McLaughlin, of McLaughlin & Associates, recently sent a memo to the president titled "Skewed media polls," and said the media is trying to rig the election and suppress the GOP vote by making it look like a Biden runaway.
In it, he wrote, "The latest skewed media polls must be intentional. It’s clear that NBC, ABC and CNN who have Democrat operatives like Chuck Todd, George Stephanopoulos and other Democrats in their news operations are consistently under-polling Republicans and therefore, reporting biased polls. They continue to poll adults or registered voters that skew away from likely voters. So instead of the 33% Republican turnout which actually happened in 2016, they are reporting polls on only 26%, 25% or even 24% Republicans. Since you get over 90% of the Republican vote, for every point fewer Republicans that they do not poll, they reduce your vote total by a point. In contrast CBS polled likely voters. CBS had 32% Republicans and a close national race. The bias seems to be an intentional strategy to suppress your vote. The latest media spin is that it’s too late to define Joe Biden and it’s too late for President Trump to win. We can hardly wait until they start spinning a ’Biden electoral lock.’ It has to be a strategy to counter the enthusiasm of Trump voters."
"I’m a Democrat," he said, but "I just don’t don’t think the sampling is accurate." Joe with a 16 point lead is just silly and smells of leftist desperation. I can see him up by 2-4 points for registered voters, and a dead heat with likely voters. I still suspect Trump is ahead and while it might be a popular vote squeaker, the electoral college will be a complete landslide. Especially with deep blue cities hemorrhaging people like crazy. Trump might actually only lose NY by 5 instead of the normal 12-22 points republicans lose by.

The polls are useless, and the MSM reporting on the polls is worse than useless. So we are basically flying blind into this election, not even considering "vote harvesting", miscounting, and other criminal activity. What I can see with my own eyes is miles-long parades of Trump supporters and a crowd outside of Walter Reed praying for his quick recovery.

Red state and deep purple university town I have seen very few Biden street signs. There were Bernie!™ signs and bumper stickers everywhere in the primaries... but I have only seen two (2) Biden signs.
There is no enthusiasm -- only than the reflexive OrangeManBad™.

According to the polls in 2016, Hillary was to win by a landslide. Note to self, watch the election returns and the Dem reactions as the results came in again for a boost.
[BookwormRoom] Victor Davis Hanson was on Tucker Carlson on Thursday. Hanson is always interesting, but this time he knocked it out of the park and into the next county. What he talked about was the fact that Trump represents ordinary Americans.
Usually when people say, "If I were Trump, I would say blah, blah, blah," I’m thinking "yeah, yeah, whatever. I know what you’d say, but it’s Trump who figured out how to get into the White House on the first try."
This time, though, when I listened to VDH, I realized that he was saying something extraordinarily important. This isn’t just the speech that Trump should make. Instead, this represents one of the most cogent statements I’ve heard about Trump, the leader, and his coalition, the everyday Americans. VDH makes patently clear that America is in the midst of a revolutionary class war, and one that the working- and true middle-class (as opposed to the "elite" upper middle class) must win if America is to survive:

[LewRockwell] "Revolution is the solution, not voting!" chanted a group of kneeling protestors in Manhattan in June this year.
"Our fight for liberty, justice, and freedom continues. Together, we can — and will — transform. This is the revolution," reads a posting on the website of Black Lives Matter. In the accompanying video the narrator says, "We continue the tradition of revolution. We feel earth shifting beneath our feet... Now it’s time to transform. Together change is coming."
"Milwaukee’s Protest Leaders Say ’This Is the Revolution’" proclaims last week’s magazine headline.

[Babylon Bee] U.S.—Facing growing frustration from parents over prolonged school closures, the American Federation of Teachers has released a statement promising school will resume just as soon as all the public school teachers are done campaigning for Biden.
"We realized that these prolonged school closures were a perfect opportunity to mobilize our 1.7 million-member union to get out the vote for Joe Biden," said AFT President Randi Weingarten. "Plus, the Biden campaign didn't have to pay them since they are already being paid a full salary with taxpayer dollars. It was a win-win for us!"
According to sources across the country, public educators have been dutifully going door to door to make sure they harvest every Biden vote they can before the November election.
"So if you're wondering why the schools still aren't open, that's why. We promise we'll start teaching your dumb kids again as soon as the important work of defeating Donald Trump is completed," Weingarten said.
[Townhall] South Carolina Democrat and Senate candidate Jaime Harrison, who is challenging incumbent GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham, weighed in on the confirmation battle for Judge Amy Coney Barrett and the idea of "court packing."
Harrison initially said that he opposed the radical left’s idea of expanding the size of the Supreme Court. He clarified that he would be open to it if a justice said that Plessy v. Ferguson should be established law again, throwing a not-so-subtle dig at Judge Barrett: Link fixed

For the 46 years I have been voting.
EVERY National Election the Liberals, Closet Socialist-Democrats insinuate Racism and Racist practices.
One would think as much as the Democrats "CLAIM" to be the champions of Civil Rights and have had control of congress many times the last 50+ years. That by now they could have gotten it resolved... That is IF they wanted to admit our nation has resolved its Racial Issues long ago.
But NO, the party of the KLAN and Jim Crow and of the MLK-Jr assassin; never wants to admit the few racists still in the USA. Which are less than 20k out for 342M (0.0058479532163742695 of 1% not counting the BLM/Anti-Fa group)according the Southern Poverty Law Center. Are no longer the real issue keeping educated and /or skilled minorities economically restricted.
But that does not keep them every election year from dragging out the race pimps and playing the race card to cover their own management failures in the major cities that they ALONE have controlled for 50+ years.
[American Thinker] Although the left continues to downplay the issues surrounding "election integrity" this November, mounting evidence points to what is likely to turn into an eventual series of disputes, lawsuits, and potential anarchy in a year that has already been marred by civil unrest nationally.
This election season has so far seen the discarding of a number of military ballots in the state of Pennsylvania, most of which were for President Trump. The fate of the Pennsylvania vote also looms large as some new procedures in the state during this unprecedented "coronavirus election" are sure to wind up in court due to a recent ruling that is gives PA voters an extra three days to return their mail ballots.
This matter may also play into the Supreme Court confirmation process of Amy Coney Barrett, as Republicans in Pennsylvania are already asking the SCOTUS to review the controversial ruling.
Despite every liberal dunsky poll showing Joe Biden ahead of Donald Trump by approximately a zillion points in the 2020 presidential race, a new Gallup poll released on Wednesday shows that WAAAAAAAY more Americans expect Trump to win the election.
BLUF:
[According to Hoyt] If we lose this one, we’re going down for the long count. The long, long count. Sure, the left can’t keep what they take. But they can do enough to see America divided and parceled out to foreign powers, all of whom behave more like China than anything in Western Civilization.
[The Hill] Men were more likely to think Pence would win, at 51 percent to 49 percent, while women were more likely to think Harris would win at 54 percent to 46 percent.
The survey found Republican voters were slightly more confident in Pence than Democratic voters were of Harris.
Eighty-four percent of Republican respondents said Pence will win compared to 82 percent of Democrat respondents who said the same of Harris.
Independent voters were marginally more likely to say Harris will win, at 51 percent and 49 percent, respectively.
The survey also found younger voters in the poll to be more split on who would win Wednesday's debate than their older counterparts.
Fifty-one percent of 18-34 year olds and 52 percent of 35-49 year olds favored Pence over Harris.
By contrast, 54 percent of 50-64 year olds and 56 percent of 65 year olds or older said Harris will have the better debate performance.
The Hill-HarrisX poll was conducted online among 928 registered voters from Sept. 30 to Oct. 1. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.22 percentage points.

Maybe all the polls are wrong and all the news is fake.
But probably not.
With President Donald Trump behind — and falling — in both the national and swing-state polls, many conservative media figures are predicting . . . a Trump landslide. This wish-casting is based on increasingly imaginative reading of the political terrain: Comedian Jimmy Failla of Fox News, for example, called a Trump "lawnslide" based on — hold your breath, now — an informal poll of truckers who were giving their estimates of the ratio of Trump yard signs to Joe Biden yard signs.
Well.
Representative David Rouzer (R., N.C.) is on record predicting Trump’s reelection "in a landslide." Charlie Kirk of Turning Point makes the preposterous argument that Trump will be carried to victory by the "unbelievable enthusiasm" for him among young people. "Joe Biden is really struggling with younger voters," Kirk says — never mind that Biden’s lead among young likely voters is 33 points. Jeanine Pirro of Fox News insists that the recent anti-police protests and riots "ensure President Trump’s reelection." Ensure is a pretty strong word. "Trump Will Win Again in 2020"
...Strange things happen, and "statistically unlikely" is not a synonym for "impossible." But the story of Donald Trump’s underground landslide is not serious analysis — it is wishful thinking for fun and profit.
One of the deathless myths of the 2016 election is that the polls were wildly off. They weren’t, neither at the national level nor at the state level, though the national polls were a little closer to the final tally than the state polls were, as historically has been the case. In fact, the national polls in 2016 were slightly more accurate than they were in 2012. The difference is that in 2012 the polls understated the vote for the candidate who was expected to win and did, while in 2016 they understated, by a slightly smaller margin, the performance of the candidate who was expected to lose but didn’t. But from a polling point of view, a five-point error is a five-point error; the fact that one error produces the right "call" is, as a technical polling matter, not especially important.
...And that is why the fruitier Trump partisans are relying on call-in trucker yard-sign polls or simply recruiting "the American people" and "the silent majority" to their cause without much evidence.
Some of this is honest stupidity, but most of it is careerism. Pouring scorn on the polls and on unwelcome news reports, predicting a Trump landslide with very little hard evidence to back up that wishful thinking, and, above all, reassuring conservatives that our ideas are more popular than they actually are, that the vast majority of Americans are on our side even if they don’t seem to know it, is a good way to build audience share and a social-media following. And if — as is likely though not certain — this is revealed on Election Day as a fraud and a fantasy, then you can always complain that the election was rigged and that the Deep State has done you wrong. Those doggie vitamins aren’t going to sell themselves.
If we have an honest E-Voter & V-Voter count and the fraudulent ballots are intercepted and they impounded as evidence.
The several already known by the Gray-hats locations that are printing counterfeit Mail in / Absentee Ballots are raided by the FED's in the next few days.

Here in purple Colorado, Trump signs dominate. Pro-American rallies dominate except in downtown Denver itself. Seen only one Biden sign up in Lakewood and a few bumper stickers. See Trump signs everywhere I go.
Anecdotal, yes. But the enthusiasm for Trump is over the top and just a giant "Meh" for Biden.
Trump voters will be there, in force on election day and the supposed blue wave in mail in ballots don't seem to be materializing from the limited data the states are releasing. Both parties are neck and neck in sending theirs in.
I still feel a landslide is coming and I truly believe it is the only thing that will stop a full civil war. Will still be violence, but the Republic will survive.

I know what I think, but that's not really the question here. It's what other people think. What will the socialists do with power?
The ones who have been calling for murder and re-education of Trump supporters. The ones who have been burning down dem cities for months and shut the country and economy down for what are increasingly dubious motivations.
I don't think it comes down to discomfort over something mean that was said to Ms Acosta. I think the man who has stood up to China, gotten some foothold for peace in the ME, gotten energy independence and maintains a reverence for American history and tradition vs a mob that foams at the mouth for national destruction. Worse yet without any known alternative.

Williamson is either lying or just being a snotty NR tool. Nobody denies the 2016 national polls were more accurate than the state polls, but no intelligent and honest person gives a fuck about the national vote. It's 270 to win. Only state results matter.
And the state polls' sampling approach was ridiculously wildly biased in favor of Hillary. Of the non-online battleground state polls analyzed by the NYT upshot after the election, 5 out of 6 polls failed to even try to adjust the sample they used in order to get accurate proportions of college- and non college-educated voters. So they wildly - by four points or more - overestimated Hillary's share of the battleground state totals.
Even The NY Times can admit the state polls were garbage in 2016 and cannot be relied on to weight their samples correctly. Why can't Kevin Williamson admit this?

NR is like NeverTrump Central. for so-called conservatives, they sure dont mind propping up and promoting Marxists and socialists. Wm F. Buckley is reaching about 10,000 RPM in his grave right now, probably going to redline soon.
[WesternJournal] House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democrats thought they could bully Donald Trump into accepting their radical bailout scam — but the president will never accept a rotten deal for the American people.
Contrary to what liberal lawmakers say about their $2.4 trillion stimulus monstrosity, the hyperpartisan legislation passed by the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives is not a good-faith effort to provide relief, but a strong-arm tactic by a political bully.
Despite being dubbed a "compromise" by the left, the bill is actually a bloated bailout fund for failing Democrat-run cities and states, packed with billions of dollars in wasteful spending that could and should be put to better use.
The Democrats, however, have long abided by the motto "never let a crisis go to waste" — and for Pelosi, the coronavirus pandemic was the biggest crisis (and hence the biggest political opportunity) of the century.
When the president himself fell ill, she moved quickly to capitalize on the news.
Just hours after President Trump announced that he had tested positive for COVID-19, Pelosi viewed it as a chance to bulldoze her political opposition, publicly suggesting, with evident glee, that Republicans should abandon their principles and accept the Democrats’ proposal without modification.
"Maybe now that people who see the president of the United States with all the protection that he has, and the first lady, still having this exposure, it might be ... a learning experience," Pelosi said at the time. "But more than learning, it has to be something that is acted upon."
Of course, Pelosi gravely underestimated the president’s resolve and commitment to American workers.
Not long after he returned to the White House, Donald Trump called the Democrats out for their sleazy negotiation tactics, declaring that he would not participate in negotiations with an adversary who was not willing to negotiate in good faith.
"Nancy Pelosi is asking for $2.4 Trillion Dollars to bailout poorly run, high crime, Democrat States, money that is in no way related to COVID-19," he tweeted.
"We made a very generous offer of $1.6 Trillion Dollars and, as usual, she is not negotiating in good faith. I am rejecting their request, and looking to the future of our Country."
After letting the Democrats stew over that overnight, the president offered lawmakers an opportunity to get around the impasse by passing the critical elements of the stimulus package — measures that enjoy significant bipartisan support, such as reviving the Paycheck Protection Program and protecting tens of thousands of airline jobs — as standalone bills.
"If I am sent a Stand Alone Bill for Stimulus Checks ($1,200), they will go out to our great people IMMEDIATELY," the President wrote in a follow-up tweet. "I am ready to sign right now. Are you listening Nancy?"
If the Democrats truly believe in helping American workers and businesses weather the coronavirus pandemic, nothing is preventing them from immediately backing the president’s plan, especially since they have themselves expressed support for the policies he is promoting.
Instead of insisting on a comprehensive proposal that is saturated with irrelevant partisan initiatives, Congress could seize the opportunity to provide economic relief to those who need it most.
"The House & Senate should IMMEDIATELY Approve 25 Billion Dollars for Airline Payroll Support, & 135 Billion Dollars for Paycheck Protection Program for Small Business," the president wrote in another tweet, adding that "Both of these will be fully paid for with unused funds from the Cares Act."
The president’s unexpected offer received a warm reaction from investors and entrepreneurs — the stock market rallied after his remarks, with the Dow soaring by over 500 points.
It’s a strong signal that congressional Democrats should put politics aside and do what seemingly everybody agrees needs to be done.
Donald Trump will never accept a bad deal simply to get a deal done, and it’s about time that Speaker Pelosi learns that lesson.
