February 12, 2015 New York ,New York, United States Kanye West fills the streets of the Flatiron District in Manhattan to perform his concert. Many streets were closed but the event went on with out incident.
I expect President Trump to win re-election and win big. In a game of cops and robbers, most people side with the cops. A triumphant Trump will be Trump Unbound, Promethean in his defiance of the establishment. The result should be more fun than a barrel of Menckens.
What outrages might he inflict? Some interesting possibilities.
In a repeat of Nixon going to China, Trump goes to Moscow. Nixon countered the Soviet threat not by shovelling endless money into the Pentagon’s maw but by a brilliant grand strategic maneuver: Convincing China to align with the United States against Moscow. (That move also nullified our defeat in Vietnam by eliminating its strategic significance.) Not entirely wisely, President Trump will likely up the ante in his confrontation with China. Could he convince Russia to de-align with Beijing and join us in containing China? America’s foolish continuation of an anti-Russian policy after communism fell has pushed Russia and China together, but Moscow fears long-term Chinese ambitions in Siberia. If President Trump wants leverage on China, nothing would give him more than facing Beijing with a land threat along its vast northern border.
President Trump will remain pro-military, but that does not mean he loves the top brass. He knows they hold him in contempt as a person and they also continue to block his desire to bring the boys home. Were he to adopt a policy of military reform, the agenda for which was laid out in the 1980s and remains relevant, he would give the brass fits while saving money and improving our ability to win wars, something in short supply of late.
President Trump won election and, I expect, re-election in part by defying cultural Marxism, aka political correctness. Now, he could launch a full-fledged crusade against it. Most people are fed up with PC, with children telling adults what words they may or may not use and thoughts they may or may not think.
The president began a counter-offensive in his first term. In March he announced that colleges and universities that failed to protect freedom of thought and expression would lose all federal funding, including research grants. He subsequently ordered an end to all federally mandated “anti-racism” training, which conditions people to mouth cultural Marxism’s lies (any dissent from that ideology is deemed “racism”).
Triumphant and unchained, he could do more. Most public schools are now Skinner boxes conditioning children to be good little cultural Komsomol members. A broad offensive to restore the teaching of skills and facts—he could call it “Schools 1950”—would be welcomed by most parents. In the workplace, anyone who contradicts cultural Marxism now stands in peril of losing his job. President Trump could announce that freedom of thought and speech must be respected by any business receiving federal funds. He could order that in all federal offices, including the military, any man accused of “sexual harassment” must be presumed innocent until proven guilty—the opposite is now the case—and revise what “sexual harrassment” means to exclude normal banter between men and women.
A re-elected President Trump could make powerful use of the bully pulpit to fight “cancel culture.” The cultural Marxists now “cancel” anyone who disagrees with them; as in the old Soviet Union, those people become “unpersons.” Their jobs, careers, social ties, and even physical safety are threatened unless they “apologize,” grovelling in the dirt before the great clay god “PC.” President Trump could break this by meting out the same treatment to the cultural Marxists themselves. He could organize boycotts of companies that practice “cancelation,” deny all federal contracts to the same, launch antitrust actions against electronic media that “cancel” conservative voices, and use the White House to give visibility to people the Left has “canceled.” He could order all federal departments to cease doing business with any entity that uses the vocabulary of cultural Marxism: “diversity,” “privilege,” “microaggressions,” etc.
And President Trump could dis-establish the Deep State itself. How? By calling a Constitutional Convention with the intent of abolishing most amendments passed since 1860. That would transfer back to the individual states the powers the federal government has usurped in the intervening 160 years. Its functions gone, how would the Deep State justify itself and its vast budget? The fleas would have lost their dog.
Here’s a cherry on top: A triumphant Trump pushes through a tax of one dollar on every robocall, to be paid by the phone company that delivers the call. The roboplague ends overnight and “Huzza for the President!” resounds from Boston Harbor to the Golden Gate bridge.

The post Trump Unbound: Visions for a Second Term appeared first on The American Conservative.
The 2016 Republican presidential primary debates revealed a sea change. From 2008 to 2012, then-congressman Ron Paul was routinely booed for his criticism of America’s foreign policy. It was even common to hear Republican office holders, commentators, and activists say they “agreed with Ron Paul on everything but foreign policy.” Yet in 2016, candidate Donald Trump was cheered for calling the Iraq war the biggest blunder in American history.
One would have thought Trump’s victory would have resulted in a major reduction of America’s military presence in the Middle East and Afghanistan. However, three years and 10 months after President Trump was sworn into office, at least 3,000 troops will remain in Iraq at the end of the year if Trump’s troop reductions go into effect. How many troops will remain in Afghanistan depends on how successful the military-industrial complex, and their allies on Capitol Hill and in the media, are at undermining Trump.
Meanwhile, the U.S. is still supporting Saudi Arabia’s vicious war against Yemen, which has created a humanitarian crisis. We still have approximately 700 troops in Syria. Trump kicked off the new year by provoking hostility with Iran when he ordered the assassination of Iranian leader Qassem Soleimani. He has poked at both China and Russia.
How did a candidate who was elected in part on a promise of no more useless, endless wars wind up keeping the warfare machine humming along?
Partly because, even at his best, Trump is far from being a consistent non-interventionist. Even as he railed against the endless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, candidate Trump rattled sabers at Tehran by pledging to withdraw the U.S. from the Iran nuclear deal.
Trump also called for dramatically increasing the military budget, repeating the lie that Obama had decimated the military. But U.S. military spending has continually gone up, not down.
Trump has been more successful at stirring up hostilities with Iran than at withdrawing from Afghanistan and Iraq. The biggest reason his actions have not matched his campaign rhetoric is that the entire foreign policy infrastructure in D.C. is controlled by pro-war factions. Even a truly non-interventionist Republican or Democrat would likely fail to roll back America’s military presence overseas.
The House versions of the fiscal year 2021 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) contained provisions designed to block Trump from fulfilling his promise to withdraw troops from Afghanistan.
This provision was championed by Wyoming Republican Representative Elizabeth Cheney, daughter of famed hawk and former vice president Dick Cheney. Representative Cheney is not some backbencher. She is the third-ranking Republican in the House. Cheney was joined in supporting this amendment by Democratic Representative Jason Crow of Colorado. The amendment easily passed the House Armed Services Committee by a vote of 45-11. Only eight Republicans voted to support their president’s efforts to end America’s endless war. Even more discouraging, only two Republicans, Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Representative Mo Brooks of Alabama, voted for an amendment to the NDAA offered on the House floor to establish a plan to end the war in Afghanistan. Libertarian Representative Justin Amash also voted for the amendment.
The Senate’s version of the NDAA warned against a “precipitous” withdrawal from Afghanistan. It also expressed concerns about closing any U.S. base located in Europe without offering an alternative, thus putting a monkey wrench in President Trump’s attempt to draw down the number of American troops in Germany.
Even worse, the Senate rejected an amendment by Senator Rand Paul to withdraw troops from Afghanistan. Paul’s measure failed by a vote of 60-33.
For all the often-justified handwringing over how the Republican Party has become a “cult of Trump,” the sad truth is, for most Republican representatives and senators, devotion to Trump stops at the water’s edge.
One reason for the GOP’s fidelity to the warfare state is the military-industrial complex’s outsized influence on Capitol Hill. For starters, the defense industry donated $27 million to political campaigns in 2016.
But the main reason military contractors wield clout with many federal lawmakers is their business model. Instead of manufacturing a complete product at one plant, they make components at various plants spread across the country. This means that many representatives and senators have a vested interest in supporting a large military budget—and thus an interventionist foreign policy—because those weapons produce high-paying jobs in their districts and states.
Too many conservative Republicans, who usually denounce stimulus spending bills, claim that throwing money at failed weapons projects like the F-35 creates jobs and helps grow the economy. The truth is that money heaped on the Pentagon creates less than half the number of jobs that the same amount would create if spent by the taxpayers who had earned it.
The defense industry also maintains its influence through generous donations to D.C.-based think thanks. Recipients of these funds produce research papers, op-eds, congressional testimony, and presentations given to congressional staffers that promote an interventionist foreign policy beneficial to their donors’ bottom lines.
Defense contractors’ support for think tanks is not limited to conservatives. Center-left think tanks and foreign policy scholars also receive funding.
This enables the defense industry to control both sides of the foreign policy debate, no matter the election results. The military-industrial complex wins while U.S. troops fight and die in unnecessary, unconstitutional wars. Taxpayers who fund these wars are saddled with debt and high taxes.
And defense contractors are not the only ones funding pro-defense D.C. think tanks. Foreign governments also provide money in exchange for justification of U.S. interventions on behalf of their countries.
The funding given to pro-war think tanks breeds pro-war political operatives who fill presidentially appointed civil service positions and congressional staffs. This is why President Trump has staffed his administration with neocons like John Bolton, who spend their careers promoting the disastrous foreign policy that Trump had promised to reverse.
The Democratic Party is just as welded to the warfare state as are the Republicans, as was shown by the bipartisan effort in Congress to stop President Trump from withdrawing most of the troops from Afghanistan. Further evidence is provided by the presidency of Democrat Barack Obama. His opposition to the Iraq war was a major reason he bested uber-hawks Hillary Clinton and John McCain in 2008. Yet Obama expanded America’s military presence around the world and infamously made a “kill list” of individuals—including American citizens—subject to summary execution without due process.
The modern Democrats’ love for the war party was also shown by their attacks on Representative Tulsi Gabbard for meeting with Syrian President Bashar-al-Assad. By the logic of Gabbard’s critics, John F. Kennedy should never have negotiated a peaceful end to the Cuban missile crisis. They were willing to attack her, even though she’s a down-the-line progressive and a mixed-race military veteran who would seem an ideal presidential candidate for the Democrats.
The Democratic Party is now fielding presidential and vice-presidential candidates who are all in with the war party. Joe Biden was an instigator of the Iraqi war. Senator Kamala Harris recruited her foreign policy advisors for her presidential bid from the Center for a New American Security, which has long pushed Democrats to embrace war.
While I am grateful for pro-liberty, antiwar Republicans such as Rand Paul, Thomas Massie, and, of course, former congressman and 1988 LP presidential candidate Dr. Ron Paul, the fact is that the war party is too embedded in the infrastructure of the two major parties and the D.C. establishment. Neither Republicans nor Democrats will change our disastrous foreign policy.
If we are to adopt a policy of peace, antiwar activists must work outside the two-party system. We should be guided by independent think tanks that are free of the corrosive influence of the military-industrial complex, citizen groups that pressure elected officials to stand up to the warfare state, and alternative parties that are not beholden to the military-industrial complex.
As the Libertarian nominee for president, I am proud to build on the work of former Libertarian presidential candidates Ron Paul and the late Harry Browne to bring the message of peace, prosperity, and liberty to the American people. As I campaign from coast to coast, the reception I have gotten convinces me that the majority of Americans want peace.
If I am elected, I will begin to bring troops home from the Middle East on day one of my presidency. As a member of a party that is not beholden to any part of the military establishment, I will not budge under pressure from the military-industrial-think-tank-media complex. Instead of seeking a “benevolent global hegemony,” I will make America like a giant Switzerland: armed and neutral. Furthermore, I will remove barriers to free trade with all nations, which will reinforce peaceful relations.
Republicans and Democrats cannot deliver peace because they are loyal to special interests that benefit from continual war.
Libertarians, who have been fiercely committed to a non-interventionist policy throughout their party’s 49-year existence, stand ready and eager to deliver the peace and neutrality that Americans want and need.

The election is right around the corner and, as expected, it is not without its share of bombshells. The most recent bombshells were revealed by the NY Post, which detailed a web of emails and transactions allegedly involving Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, China, Ukraine, and others. Despite the serious nature of these alleged “transactions,” Joe Biden has not been questioned about the troubling information. Of course, from the perspective of the Democratic establishment, there is no reason for Joe Biden to address these reports.
Specifically, if Biden is elected (and Democrats retain the House and gain control of the Senate), the establishment could control Biden’s future whether or not he is implicated in any wrongdoing. Therefore, if Biden is implicated, this will only really matter if he loses the election. As such, to prevent a possible miscarriage of justice, Americans must render judgment and punish Biden at the polls.
Let’s assume that the emails are authentic (it now appears that they are), that the sources are all credible, and that Joe and Hunter Biden were engaged in criminal or other nefarious conduct. If Joe Biden is elected president in November, the left-wing establishment can approach Biden’s potential wrongdoing in several ways.
On one hand, the left-wing Establishment can take the position that Biden’s alleged wrongdoing cannot result in his indictment while he is president, as this would “undermine the capacity of the executive branch to perform its constitutionally assigned functions.” This is not set in stone, however, and would possibly be legally challenged. It would also be contrary to the position that many Democrats took with respect to President Trump. They could also argue that Biden’s conduct is not impeachable because a president cannot be impeached for conduct that occurred before he took office. Therefore, if Democrats maintained control of the House, impeachment could be a non-starter even if Biden was involved in any wrongdoing.
On the other hand, Biden’s potential wrongdoing could provide an opening for Democrats to remove him from office and to replace him with Kamala Harris, who would be next-in-line. This is not outside the realm of possibility, as many believe that Biden is merely a conduit for an eventual Harris presidency. This position is bolstered by Nancy Pelosi’s recent press conference regarding the formation of a commission that would allow Congress to oust a president from office, using the 25th Amendment. Many considered this to be a preview of the left’s plans to remove Biden should he win in November.
While the information about Joe and Hunter Biden is highly relevant to Joe Biden’s fitness to serve as president, the Democratic Establishment and its various left-wing mouthpieces have no reason to address it and every reason to avoid it. After all, if Joe Biden is elected president and Democrats retain the House and take control of the Senate, any action against Joe Biden is unlikely until after his term as president expires (or at all) unless there is an attempt to prosecute a sitting president based on sufficient evidence. Moreover, even if Biden’s conduct is found to be improper or illegal, Democrats could ultimately decide whether or not to impeach him so long as they maintain control of the House (removal, of course, would depend on who controls the Senate). If they chose to do so, Harris would become president, which is in line with what many on the left seem to desire.
In reality, the most significant impact that the recent bombshells could have is on voters, which is why Biden has chosen not to address them and why the left-wing media and debate “moderators” have not questioned him about them. While the moderator briefly brought the issue up last night, she also interrupted the president regularly when he tried to press Biden about the damning reports. It is also why tech giants like Twitter and Facebook have joined in blocking the NY Post and others from disseminating the information.
If Biden can simply get through the next week or so without addressing the damning NY Post stories, he might be able to put them to rest (temporarily) if he is elected. Of course, recent polling shows a shift against Biden since the NY Post’s articles. Therefore, Biden is playing with fire and taking a chance by failing to address the allegations head-on. As was evident in last week’s debate, Biden’s response to the bombshell reports included the all-too-often utilized Russia disinformation defense, a blanket denial (“not true”), and that he did not get any money from foreign countries (this does not mean that his family didn’t receive such payments which were subsequently “shared” with Biden).
While the recent bombshell reports against Joe and Hunter Biden are very serious and warrant further investigation, they will be most impactful and significant if Joe Biden loses the election. Given that they were released so close to election day, it is doubtful that any significant legal action, if warranted, will be taken against the former vice-president prior to November 3rd. As such, it is up to the American public to penalize Biden for his alleged involvement and conduct at the polls. If they don’t, and if Democrats have a strong showing at the polls, the allegations involving Joe and Hunter Biden could become yet another set of disturbing allegations that go unpunished.

The post Americans Must Render Judgment Against Joe Biden At The Polls appeared first on The American Conservative.
Byron York describes “The big Trump rallies you don’t see.”
“I can’t believe there aren’t any newspeople here,” said Linda of Greene County, Pennsylvania, as she stood among hundreds of cars and pickup trucks idling in long parallel lines in a vast big-box-store parking lot Saturday, waiting to join the Interstate 70 Trump Train. Indeed, although there were carloads of Trump supporters as far as one could see, and many more on the way from Ohio and West Virginia, and this enormous political event was happening less than two weeks before the presidential election, as far as I could tell, I was the only newsperson there.
It was the biggest political rally no one saw.
We see, for the most part, what the people who run news organizations want us to see.
And gatherings like it have been happening for months in some of the places President Trump needs most to win if he is to be reelected. And, remarkably, the rallies are not the work of the Trump campaign. The road rally in Washington, Pennsylvania, was organized and staged by local Trump supporters, linked together largely by Facebook…
The same thing has been happening all around the country. Voters understand what is at stake:
“We’re here because we believe he is the only way we’re going to have an economy in the future,” said Sherri from Claysville.
The road rally that Byron covered included thousands of vehicles from Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, so energy loomed large as an issue:
“We’re a big oil and gas family,” said Kristie from Washington. “We’re living the American dream because of the oil and gas industry.”
***
When I asked if people were connected to the energy industry, my favorite answer came from Dan from Greene County, who said, “Yes, I am connected to the energy industry, because I’ve got electricity and gas in my house.” Point made. We all have a connection to the energy industry.
Some, of course, understand this better than others.
They feel so strongly about Trump because they know he has supported their industry while Obama and his vice president, Joe Biden, wanted to cripple and ultimately eliminate it. They know Trump has not miraculously saved the energy industry in Pennsylvania. They didn’t expect that he would. Their calculus was much more basic: In 2016, they voted for the candidate who would stop trying to kill the industry that supports 322,000 jobs in Pennsylvania, according to an energy industry estimate.
Now, they know a President Joe Biden would resume the green crusade to destroy the oil and gas business. On Saturday, they were all very aware that just a few days before, in the last presidential debate, Biden had vowed to “transition” the United States away from oil and gas.
Much more at the link. An obvious question is, where are the thousands of people spontaneously turning out to support Joe Biden? To take just one example, where were the Biden boat parades? There weren’t any, of course. On the contrary: when Biden and Kamala Harris made a joint appearance in Yuma, Arizona, not a single person showed up. No one except a few puzzled reporters.
Contrast that with the throngs that greeted President Trump when he flew into Prescott, Arizona a few days ago. Thousands of people, most of whom probably had no hope of hearing him speak, turned out to show their support:

It is worth remembering that political polls as news stories are a very recent phenomenon. If you had not seen any news stories about polling, how much chance would you give Joe Biden of winning the election? And to what extent is the fact that Biden has a chance the result of news stories about polls showing him in the lead?
We haven’t made any official predictions yet; if we can get a VIP Live event set up for next week, we likely will make them then. But for now, I will say that I am leaning toward going with my lying eyes.
I watched my first World Series game in 1956 at a friend’s house and have watched at least part of almost every Series game since 1958, when my parents broke down and bought a television set.
The best Series game I’ve ever seen was Game 6 in 1975, between Boston and Cincinnati. The most dramatic was Game 7 in 1960, between Pittsburgh and the New York Yankees.
Yesterday’s Game 4 between Tampa Bay and the Los Angeles Dodgers doesn’t rival those two games, nor does it match some others I’ve seen. However, it might be the craziest World Series game I have ever watched.
I’ve cheered at the end of World Series games. I’ve screamed at the end of World Series games. I’ve cursed at the end of World Series games.
Last night was the first time I’ve laughed hysterically at the end of a World Series game.
All Game 4’s are pivotal, but this one seemed especially so. The Dodgers were up two games to one. A Dodgers win last night, and the Rays would need to win three straight. The great Clayton Kershaw would be the Dodgers starter in one of them. Current ace Walker Beuhler would be their starter in another.
Last night’s game featured at least a run in every inning except the second. There was a lead change in the bottom of sixth, when the Rays scored three times to take a 5-4 lead. The lead changed hands again in the top of the seventh, when the Dodgers scored twice.
The Rays restored parity at 6-6 in the bottom of that inning, only to see the Dodgers regain the lead in the top of the eighth.
These changes in fortune were the result, in part, of poor relief pitching, as both managers tried to “bullpen” their way through the game. I thought Tampa Bay’s manager, Kevin Cash, might have been guilty of over-managing. He burned through two of his three best relief pitchers — Diego Castillo and Pete Fairbanks — in the middle innings, getting only 12 pitches from Fairbanks and only five from Ryan Thompson, a good middle reliever to whom Cash turned in the fourth inning.
After conceding at least one run to the Rays in every inning from the fourth on, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts finally got a shutdown inning in the eighth from the duo of Adam Kolarek and Brusdar Graterol. However, Roberts pulled Graterol after only seven pitches and brought in veteran ace Kenley Jensen to pitch the ninth. A standard move, to be fair.
Jensen isn’t nearly the pitcher he once was, though. His 91 mph cut fastball seemed out of place in a game where 95 mph looked like table stakes.
Even so, Jensen struck out the first batter he faced. He took advantage of the fact that pinch hitter Yoshitomo Tsutsugo was more intent on tying the game with one swing than on reaching base to start a rally. That’s the modern game in a nutshell.
The next batter, veteran Kevin Keirmaier did reach base on a single. However, Joey Wendell lined out to left field.
That brought Randy Arozarena to the plate. Arozarena, a Cuban refugee, was little more than a throw-in in a deal with the Cardinals last offseason that brought Jose Martinez (since traded away) to the Rays. He barely played at all for the Cards in their 2019 ALCS encounter with the Washington Nationals.
However, this year Arozarena is enjoying one of the best postseasons I can remember anyone having. He has nine home runs in 18 games, a .377 batting average, and an OPS of 1.289.
After a conference on the mound, the Dodgers decided to pitch to Arozarena, rather than put the winning run on base intentionally, but to pitch to him carefully. The result was a walk.
Up stepped Brett Phillips, a career .202 hitter. He was in the game only because Cash had used Ji-Man Choi to pinch hit for Mike Brosseau (hero of the Rays victory over the New York Yankees) and later inserted Phillips as a pinch runner for the rotund, though not unathletic, Choi.
With only a backup catcher remaining on the bench, it was up to Phillips to keep the Rays’ hopes alive.
Then came what is surely the most bizarre World Series play I’ve ever seen. Phillips dropped a single to center field. Chris Taylor, playing out of position due to in-game maneuvering by Roberts, got to the ball quickly, but booted it away.
Arozarena tried take advantage of Taylor’s misplay and score all the way from first. The play at the plate would have been close, I think. However, the Cuban, moving like a runaway freight train, tripped and fell about half down the third base line.
This was no ordinary fall. It was accompanied by tumbling that would have made Cristiano Ronaldo proud.
Arozarena should have been an easy third out. After midnight in the East, this four-hour affair should have been headed into extra innings. But catcher Will Smith didn’t know Arozarena had fallen.
The throw home was on the money and, of course, in plenty of time, but slightly to the first base side of the plate. Smith thought he needed to make a sweep tag on Arozarena. Thus, he tried to catch the ball and move his glove towards the third base side in one motion. As a result, the ball bounced off of his glove towards first base.
Arozarena, having picked himself up, was able to score the winning run.
Three miscues on a single play in a World Series game between the two teams with the best records in baseball. And on a play that decided the game.
Thus did Game 4 of the 2020 World Series become an instant classic. It figures to be a hardy perennial for future writers of “This Day in Baseball History.”
Memo to MLB: Baseball can be truly exciting when batters are doing things other than striking out and hitting home runs.

100 Percent Fed Up – If polls didn’t exist, who would you say was winning the election right now?
It’s a serious question. Would it be the guy who has massive rallies every day, many of them spontaneous, or the guy who stays in his basement every day, drawing scant crowds the rare times he comes up for air?
Joe Biden is up eight points in the RCP national average. This is no small thing. Yes, pollsters got it wrong in 2016, but they tend to correct for past mistakes. They have reputations to maintain.
But are they just biased? Conservative Twitter seems to think so. The “game,” many think, is to build a false narrative about Biden being way up and then correct the bias at the very end. That’s when pollsters get judged, you see, by the last poll. If they were way off a month before the election, who’s to say they were wrong? Public opinion changes.
But I have looked at the samples used by literally hundreds of polls, and I am not seeing any significant sampling bias. I’m not sure at all that’s going on, and if Republicans are counting on it, they shouldn’t.
But, those rallies.
Here’s a rally that took place last week in Beverly Hills, CA:
The enthusiasm gap is as wide as the Grand Canyon.
Today, I went to a Trump rally. I wanted to see one up close for myself, and it was an eye-opening experience.
The rally had about three hundred cars. There were no prominent speakers or otherwise big draws. Just random people. There were truckers and bikers, and even a guy in a Bentley. Interestingly, more than fifty percent were women. I recognized a few that I knew, and was surprised they were on the Trump side of the fence. They told me they typically have to keep their views close to the vest. Cancel culture.
No one with any connection to the Trump campaign had anything to do with organizing the event, it was all word of mouth. This is a phenomenon being played out all across the country, and it’s one we’ve never witnessed in our political history.
The rally started in Greenwich, Connecticut, and traveled about twenty miles out I-95 and back. This is deep-blue Connecticut, by the way. No Trump yard signs anywhere. And yes, we got the finger a few times, but the overwhelming reaction from others was wildly supportive. Hundreds of cars honked in approval. Scores of people waved excitedly from overpasses or by intersections.
It was like someone had given them permission to publicly show their support for Trump without suffering some sort of backlash. There was palpable joy at seeing so much Trump support in a place like Connecticut.

Which brings me to the whole idea of the “shy” Trump voter. This is a real thing, and it’s what the pollsters may be missing. It’s people who won’t talk to a pollster, or if they do, are reluctant to say they are voting for Trump.
The big question is, how big is this effect? If it’s two points, that may not be enough. If it’s five or more, Trump likely wins. (Remember, he’s closer than eight points in the swing states.)
Something else to consider: do you know any Trump voter from 2016 who isn’t voting for him this time? I don’t. In fact, most are more enthusiastic this time around. That, and there’s no question Trump will gain with blacks and Hispanics. Question is, how much?
So who has he lost, then? Suburban women? I was surrounded by them today.
On the other side, literally, no one gets excited about Joe Biden. I don’t think Jill Biden gets excited about Joe Biden. Is animus towards the other guy enough to get someone elected? Not impossible, but you tell me the last time it happened.
Here’s a quick look at a Joe Biden rally vs. a Trump rally:
One thing’s for sure: this election is make or break for the pollsters. Everything – everything – we see around us with our own eyes cuts against what they are saying. If they get this wrong, either through bias or procedural error, the whole industry deserves to be thrown on the ash heap.

Joe Biden sat down for an interview with 60 Minutes host Norah O’Donnell and it didn’t go well.
Biden ‘confused’ his agenda during the 60 Minutes interview so his staff had to step in and correct the record.
“I can send every qualified person to a 4 year college in their state for $150 billion,” Biden said. “I can make sure every single person who qualifies for community college can go and we’d still have a lot of money left over.”
Pizza for everybody!
It turns out Joe Biden was lying about his tax plan. Shocker.
“After our interview, Mr. Biden’s staff told us he misspoke and that the cost of free public college could be twice as much as he said,” O’Donnell said.

77-year-old Joe Biden on Sunday evening participated in a virtual event after calling a lid all day just 9 days until Election Day.
It didn’t go well.
Biden confused President Trump with former president George Bush.
“…What kind of country we’re gonna be. Four more years of George…uh George uh he uh is gonna find ourselves in a position where if Trump gets elected we’re gonna uh we’re gonna be in a different world,” said Biden.
Notice his handler wife Jill tried to help Biden a little as he was struggling to remember Trump’s name.

It should be clear at this point that Lesley Stahl’s main job description is to lie to the American people.
On Sunday President Trump confronted Leslie Stahl from “60 Minutes” on the Biden family scandal.
Lesley’s response: “He’s not. No! C’mon!”
Stahl then denied that the Obama regime spied on the Trump campaign.
This was adisgraceful interview. “60 Minutes” has NO DESIRE to report the truth anymore.

Why does Kamala Harris cackle every time she speaks?
Democrat vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris sat down for an interview with 60 Minutes host Norah O’Donnell.
Kamala Harris burst out laughing at Norah O’Donnell’s question if she presents a “Socialist or Progressive perspective.”
Kamala Harris is the most far left Senator in the US. She is to the left of Bernie Sanders.
Harris is a trojan horse for the Marxist wing of the Democrat party, but she laughed off the question.
“No! No, it is the perspective of a woman who grew up a black child in America who was also a prosecutor who also has a mother who arrived here at the age of 19 from India who also likes hip hop,” Kamala said cackling.
What does that even mean?

The Washington Post ran an opinion piece over the summer arguing Kamala Harris is the “most liberal compared to all senators.”
Harris was the “most liberal compared to all senators” in 2019 according to GovTrack, the nonpartisan government transparency watchdog — to the left of even her democratic-socialist colleague, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Harris wasn’t “pragmatic” either. GovTrack found she “joined bipartisan bills the least often compared to Senate Democrats.” According to Manhattan Institute budget expert Brian Riedl, Harris has proposed a mind-numbing $46 trillion in new spending over the next decade. She supports the economically ruinous Green New Deal, Medicare-for-all and free taxpayer funded health care for undocumented immigrants. She is also an abortion zealot who has suggested that a faithful Catholic who belongs to the Knights of Columbus is unfit to serve as a federal judge. She opposes deportation of those who illegally enter the United States and once compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to the Ku Klux Klan.

Governor Gavin Newsom’s Department of Health has issued an updated “Guidance for Private Gatherings” in time for Thanksgiving. Basically, fun is illegal in California:
Gatherings that include more than 3 households are prohibited. This includes everyone present, including hosts and guests.
So if you have three kids, you can invite two of them.
All gatherings must be held outside. Attendees may go inside to use restrooms as long as the restrooms are frequently sanitized.
This would not work well in Minnesota. We haven’t even gotten to Halloween yet, and where I live there are 8 inches of snow on the ground.
Gatherings may occur in outdoor spaces that are covered by umbrellas, canopies, awnings, roofs, and other shade structures provided that at least three sides of the space (or 75%) are open to the outdoors.
It’s time to get out the pitchforks.
People at higher risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19 (such as older adults and people with chronic medical conditions) are strongly urged not to attend any gatherings.
So forget about going to your parents’ house for Thanksgiving, or having them over.
Seating must provide at least 6 feet of distance (in all directions—front-to-back and side-to-side) between different households.
So don’t expect a lot of conversation. In some families, of course, this could be a plus.
Everyone at a gathering should frequently wash their hands with soap and water, or use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. A place to wash hands or hand sanitizer must be available for participants to use.
Presumably you would wash your hands in a bathroom. See item 2 above.
Shared items should not be used during a gathering. As much as possible, any food or beverages at outdoor gatherings must be in single-serve disposable containers. If providing single-serve containers is not possible, food and beverages must be served by a person who washes or sanitizes their hands frequently, and wears a face covering. Self-serve items from communal containers should not be used.
So no passing the mashed potatoes. I really don’t understand the rationale for this one.
People at gatherings may remove their face coverings briefly to eat or drink as long as they stay at least 6 feet away from everyone outside their own household, and put their face covering back on as soon as they are done with the activity.
Briefly! No lingering over Thanksgiving dinner. Also:
Gatherings should be two hours or less. The longer the duration, the risk of transmission increases.
Hurry up and finish your turkey, Grandma.
Singing, chanting, shouting, and physical exertion significantly increases the risk of COVID-19 transmission because these activities increase the release of respiratory droplets and fine aerosols into the air.
In my family, banning singing is probably a good thing. But physical exertion?
Governor Newsom is taking a lot of abuse on Twitter, and deservedly so. But frankly, the time has come for civil disobedience. Also, voting for freedom. Here in Minnesota, Republican leadership in both the Senate and House have promulgated a “Contract to Open Minnesota.” If Republicans keep their Senate majority and win a majority in the House, they have pledged to end the one-man rule our state has been laboring under, end the state of emergency, reopen the schools, and trust to individuals and local governments to look after public safety.
The effects of the shutdowns have been catastrophic, palpable and undeniable. Their supposed benefits are hypothetical, speculative, and unsupported by data. The time has come to set our people free.

I am Samoan and many of our Polynesians for Trump will participate in a Trump Car Caravan in Southern California which will begin at the border of Manhattan Beach and end in my home city, Carson.
The caravan is hosted by several conservative organizations, such as Filipinos for Trump, Latinos for Trump, and various Republican groups from across the South Bay.
The overcast skies did not deter President Trump’s supporters in Southern California from participating in the South Bay Trump Car Rally today. According to the organizer, Edwin Duterte of the South Bay Republican Assembly, 2,000 cars were present taking an hour and a half to get the last car out of the parking lot.
The Rally lasted over two hours making its way from Manhattan Beach through Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, and ending in Carson. Along the way, startled, but excited, Trump supporters waved and honked. The smattering of middle fingers or thumbs down from some had no impact on the zeal and joy of the patriots in the Rally.
We were proud to demonstrate our love and support for President Trump and pray that we encouraged the many conservatives in the heart of these democrat strongholds that they are not alone!

On Saturday Chinese G-TV released several images and video from Hunter Biden’s laptop including video and photos of his drug-induced sexual escapades.
Crack-addicted Hunter Biden was Joe Biden’s bagman for many of his multi-million dollar foreign pay-for-play schemes.
On Sunday Jack Posobiec and OANN broke the news that corrupt FBI Director Chris Wray hid this laptop from President Trump and the nation.
This is what Wray has to get around as questions are being asking about his handling of this. Dec 2019 was just before DNC primary votes began and this clearly would have been a major factor. Wray never told WH any of this.
— Jack Posobiec
Axios reported on Sunday that it is likely that Wray will be fired immediately following the election.
The post Reports: Wray Had Hunter’s ‘Laptop From Hell’ Since December — Kept It a Secret from President Trump appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
The news comes one day after emails, pornographic and drug-filled photos and videos of his son Hunter Biden were published online.
JT Lewis of Team Trump tweeted on Sunday that “Joe Biden says he won’t do any more in person campaigning for the remaining 9 days.”

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s campaign is making the most of the final 9 days, with public events scheduled throughout the remaining days.
Breitbart News reports that “on Sunday alone, Trump is scheduled to appear at a get out to vote rally in New Hampshire, before traveling to neighboring Maine. Following that, Trump is scheduled to return to the White House where he and the first family will host a Halloween event.”
Biden was scheduled to appear in Georgia on Tuesday. It is unclear if that event has been cancelled.

Biden did not let WYOU reporter Andy Mehalshick get through his question before snapping during an event on Saturday.
“Questions and controversy continue today about Hunter Biden, your son,” Mehalshick began.

“There is no controversy,” he interjected. “That’s all a lie.”
“It’s a flat lie because the president has nothing else to run on. If you noticed, while the American people are talking about what’s happening to their families; he has no plan and at the debate, he has no plan,” Biden said. “Everything from Wall Street Journal, other major news outlet said what he is saying is simply not true about my son, but it’s classic Trump.”
Biden does not want you to believe your own eyes.
Of course, Biden is the one who is lying, as leaked emails have revealed deep levels of corruption and homemade porn of his son smoking crack with prostitutes is all over the internet.

The abuse heaped on Jewish supporters for President Trump during their massive car caravan through New York City has been astonishing. A liberal mob attacked the supporters and threw paint on their cars, apparently near Trump Tower. The liberal mob screamed at the Jews, “We don’t want you here!”
One video from earlier in the day shows someone hurling eggs or rocks at the Trump supporters’ cars as they drove under a scenic overlook. The short video shows the person wearing a light brown coat throwing at least two eggs or rocks as the Trump cars passed underneath.

The ‘Make America Great Again’ rally took place at the crowded Pro Star Aviation in the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport.
Last December, Biden, a 77-year-old grandfather, was speaking at a campaign stop when he told the unsettling story from his time as a lifeguard and talked about how he loves when children jump on his lap.

He concluded his tale by saying, “I love kids jumping on my lap.”
