The Trump campaign is slamming Democrats for downplaying a potential Trump victory as illegitimate in the final hours of the 2020 presidential election.
“Democrats are panicking because Joe Biden has not run up a large enough lead in early votes in battleground states and they know that President Trump’s in-person votes on Election Day will make up the difference and propel him to victory. Biden’s political operatives have already been distributing talking points and research to delegitimize Election Day results by coaching surrogates to refer to the President’s Election Day success as a ‘Red Mirage.’
Joe Biden gave the last speech of his presidential campaign just like Hillary Clinton did four years ago: with a rally headlined by pop star Lady Gaga and strong hopes of victory against Donald Trump.“Folks, I have a feeling we’re coming together for a big win tomorrow,” the Democratic nominee told a crowd at an Election Eve drive-in rally in Pittsburgh.“Tomorrow, we can put an end to a presidency that has left hard-working Americans out in the cold. Tomorrow we can put an end to a presidency that has fanned the flames of hatred. Tomorrow we can put at end to a presidency that has failed to
Mayor de Blasio is hoping a federal stimulus package akin to FDR’s New Deal will help curtail crime in the Big Apple, he said Monday. Speaking to NY1’s Errol Louis, Hizzoner said if Joe Biden is elected president, New Yorkers should expect a stimulus deal that will help get the city “back on its feet” and combat a spike in murders, shootings and burglaries. “If Joe Biden’s elected president, the most likely time for a major stimulus is February, and I’m thinking along the lines of the New Deal, and he’s obviously talking about emulating FDR,” the mayor said.
Amid the pandemic, violence, rioting, looting, and the “defund the police” movement, gun ownership in America has soared, with some estimates saying there are 5 million first-time gun owners so far this year. That could mean a new and “formidable” voting bloc has formed.
"From now on, we expect millions of new gun owners to pay closer attention to candidates, and reject those who would trample on their Second Amendment rights,” Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, said in a statement this summer.
It’s curious then that just days before the election,
Meghan McCain took to social media Sunday afternoon to talk about how her father lost the 2008 presidential election with dignity, before spewing anti-Trump venom about how President Donald Trump and his family will “melt down” should he lose to Democratic nominee Joe Biden, resulting in “absolute bedlam, anger, and hysteria.” What the co-host of “The View” doesn’t seem to grasp is that in the eyes of many, Sen. John McCain “lost” with dignity before most Americans ever cast their votes because of his refusal to take off the gloves while campaigning against Barack Obama. (Video)
It happened a few days ago, but it’s still disgusting. Apparently, nuns were doxxed by the unhinged leftists on Twitter. What sin did they commit that would warrant such a response? They support President Trump. Oh yes, break out the tar and feathers, right? This is just anathema to the Left. First, they’re nuns. Liberals hate religion. And yes, we have not forgotten when these clowns booed God during the Democratic National Convention. Second, they support Trump. It’s two things liberal America hates, one more than the other. The reaction was "as expected," but still ghoulish.
Terrorists opened fire at several sites Monday evening in central Vienna, including in the area of a major synagogue and the offices of the Jewish community, killing at least two people and wounding 15. Several suspects were still at large after midnight, Austrian authorities said.
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz and Interior Minister Karl Nehammer both said the incidents were a terror attack with multiple perpetrators. “We are victims of a repulsive terror attack in the federal capital that is still ongoing,” Kurz said hours after the gunfire erupted.
A California judge on Monday issued a tentative ruling in favor of two Republican state lawmakers who had filed an abuse of power lawsuit against Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom. Executive Order N-67-20, which Newsom signed in June, required that counties mail all eligible voters vote-by-mail ballots before Election Day and regulated the number of polling stations. Assemblymembers James Gallagher, R-Yuba City, and Kevin Kiley, R-Rocklin, challenged Newsom’s order in court, arguing that Newsom’s Emergency Services Act – implemented in March amid the burgeoning coronavirus pandemic – prevented the governor from issuing more executive orders or creating new laws.
In a blockbuster press call on Monday, the campaign to reelect President Donald Trump went through its internal numbers explaining why Democrats are panicking in the lead-up to Election Day. If the campaign’s numbers are accurate, President Trump will win in most of the swing states. “Election day is going to look like a Trump rally,” Nick Trainer, the campaign’s director of battleground strategy said on the press call. “Democrat are really panicking because Joe Biden hasn’t run up a large enough lead” in absentee ballots and mail-in ballots in order to counter the expected Trump turnout on Election Day
Don could run out of Teflon if he loses the election. Trailing in the polls a day before the election, President Trump faces the very real prospect of swapping the White House for the Big House. He’s directly implicated in campaign finance crimes and is under investigation by both Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance and New York State Attorney General Letitia James for alleged fraud in his business dealings. On top of that, he faces civil defamation lawsuits from women accusing him of sexual assault. Trump’s former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, knows the stakes better than just about anyone in the president’s inner circle.
President Trump on Monday scored an election-eve endorsement from Miami rapper Lil Pump, who posed for photos wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat and a pro-Trump medallion necklace. The 20-year-old musician, born in Miami to Colombian immigrants, is the latest high-profile rapper to back Trump as polls indicate rising support among Latino and black voters. Lil Pump posted on Instagram a photo of himself in a “Trump 2020” hat, shirtless and flashing peace signs beneath a Trump flag held by four scantily clad women. Trump adviser Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is dating Donald Trump Jr., posted a series of photos
There’s an extremely mean and (consequently) extremely funny video, “Weekend at Biden’s,” in which the propped-up, lifeless form of Joe Biden gets dragged out of his basement and pulled from event to event by two young woke activists.“How long do we have to keep this up?” one asks the other, exhausted. “November 3,” says the other.Relax, young woke-tivists: You carried Joe to Nov. 3, and according to most pollsters, a thundering victory awaits you. If Biden concludes his inaugural address with the memorable words, “Now can I go back to my basement and watch ‘Matlock’?” everyone around him will be happy to oblige.Biden has been envisioning this day
A campaign led by actress Joanna Lumley is calling for unexploded WWII bombs in the seas around British to be quietly 'burnt out', rather than violently detonated. It is estimated that some 100,000 tonnes of unexploded wartime munitions lurk in Britain's waters—much of which needs clearing to make way for new wind farms. However, the traditional way of disposing of these bombs on the sea bed—blowing them up with another explosive device—has the potential to harm marine life. Not only can blast waves physically injure whales and dolphins, but the sound of the explosion can damage their hearing, which is key
Lansing, Mich.—Meals at Michigan restaurants came with a new side dish Monday: What’s your name and phone number? The latest order kicked in from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s health department. Restaurants must be able to contact customers if there’s a virus case linked to the business.(Snip) The Michigan Restaurants & Lodging Association insists COVID-19 transmission doesn’t occur much at restaurants. The group predicts job losses and more financial struggles because of the requirement to get names and phone numbers of diners. “You have guests that feel it’s intruding on their personal liberties and freedoms, and now we’ve got to be the arbitrator
Tens of thousands of supporters of President Donald Trump gathered under a red evening sky in Kenosha, Wisconsin, for the penultimate rally of the 2020 presidential campaign.
With temperatures at 47º Fahrenheit, and the wind blowing steadily from the west, the weather was cold, with the wind chill at 41º. But that did not deter the faithful from attending a rally in a town that was devastated by Black Lives Matter riots in August — as Democratic Party nominee Joe Biden criticized police. Much of the damage in the town is still visible, with rubble in the central business district, and public buildings boarded up.
Ballots have been mailed in to the New York City Board of Elections in the name of dead voters, The Post has learned. Records show that the elections board received an absentee ballot from a Frances Reckhow of Staten Island, a registered Democrat. The BOE mailed an absentee ballot requested by Frances M. Reckhow of Bedell Avenue on Sept. 24. Reckhow supposedly mailed the ballot back on Oct. 6 and the BOE received it and declared it valid on Oct. 8, tracking records show. But there’s a problem: Frances Reckhow, who was born on July 6, 1915 and would be 105 today, died in 2012,

Across America, stores in urban areas are being boarded up in anticipation of rioting following tomorrow’s election. It isn’t disappointed Trump voters store owners are worried about. They are taking precautions because they think President Trump may win.
Democratic leaders, meanwhile, are increasingly nervous. Turnout in heavily Democratic areas of several states has been unexpectedly light. No one is enthusiastic about Joe Biden, while Trump is drawing unprecedented crowds and generating lots of excitement. It seems that in response, the Democrats are formulating a strategy to excuse their defeat and to try to seize power.
New Jersey—New Jersey election officials won't count ballots cast in person on Election Day until at least Nov. 10, a state official confirmed Monday. The Board of Elections will count all mail-in ballots first and vote-by-mail ballots postmarked by Nov. 3 can arrive through Nov. 10 and be counted, officials said. New Jersey counties won't have a complete list of all mail-in ballots until at least Nov. 10. More than 3.5 million New Jersey residents have already voted, Gov. Phil Murphy said Monday. That number is 90% of the entire voter turnout in the 2016 presidential election.
Local police in Texas said over the weekend that the vehicle of a Joe Biden staffer may be “at fault” in a minor collision that occurred during an incident where Trump supporters in trucks surrounded and followed a Biden campaign bus.
The incident occurred on I-35 in Hays County and involved a Biden staffer’s white SUV making contact with a Trump supporter’s black truck.
The San Marcos Police Department, which is handling any potential police reports on the crash, said it has researched the collision and watched footage of the incident online.
President Donald Trump signed an order Monday to establish the “1776 Commission” in an effort to reform how American schools teach history.The commission “will work to improve understanding of the history and the principles of the founding of the United States among our Nation’s rising generations,” according to a press release. Trump announced the initiative in September, where he slammed The New York Times’ “1619 Project,” which pushes slavery to the center of America’s founding.In a tweet announcing the signed order, Trump wrote that “we will stop the radical indoctrination of our students, and restore PATRIOTIC EDUCATION to our schools!” (Tweet)

In a recent tweet, David Frum wondered why cable-news host Tucker Carlson, mega-podcaster Joe Rogan, writers at the Federalist, and (now independent) journalists Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi have all thrived in the Trump era, drawing large, devoted audiences in spite of their many ideological differences. Frum described the group as a “coherent and cohesive faction in American politics” of people who “share more than just the same dislikes.” In addition to the people on Frum’s list, one might include Eric Weinstein, host of The Portal podcast, former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson, and author and former stock trader Nassim Taleb.
A federal judge in Chicago issued a nationwide halt Monday to President Trump’s attempt to make more immigrants have to prove self-sufficiency in order to win a path to citizenship. Judge Gary Feinerman ruled the government cut too many procedural corners in issuing what was known as the “public charge” rule. Homeland Security had asked him to confine his ruling to a limited geography and to delay its effectiveness while it was appealed. The Obama appointee rejected both requests, announcing a nationwide policy. Under the “public charge” rule, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services was directed to look at would-be immigrants’ history of access to public
Donald Trump is preparing to hold a massive indoor election night party at the White House Tuesday with hundreds of guests as crews put up on Monday a 'non-scalable' fence around the complex Monday.The new barrier, a federal law enforcement official told NBC News, will include blocking off the Ellipse, a large green area south of the White House, and Lafayette Square to the north.As indications of unrest in the Nation's Capital emerge as it's likely results of the election will still be unknown Tuesday night, 250 National Guardsmen have also been put on standby to report to Metro Police officials.The guest list for Trump's party includes 400 of
At least one person died and several people were injured on Monday when a group of suspected terrorists opened fire near the Austrian capital’s main synagogue, officials and reports said. Police in Vienna said that several shots rang out around 8 p.m. local time on Seitenstettengasse, the street that houses the Stadttempel synagogue. “At the moment I can confirm we believe this is an apparent terror attack,” Interior Minister Karl Nehammer told Austrian broadcaster ORF. Police said there were several attackers armed with rifles, and that shots had been fired in at least six locations, beginning on the street in the city center.
I do not recall any prior election where there were predictions of rioting, let alone such predictions in virtually every major city in the US. Driving around Washington, D.C. a couple days ago was a shocking experience. Block after block of businesses are boarded up and anything throwable or movable has been removed from the streets.
In the meantime, faculty, staff, and students at George Washington University (where I teach) have been told to stockpile medicine and food “as you normally would for a hurricane or a snowstorm."
Businesses across America are boarding up their windows ahead of potential chaos following tomorrow's election as special police units prepare to tackle looters and rioters and foreign governments warn people not to visit the US for fear of civil unrest. In cities all over the country on Monday, retailers, offices and art galleries were putting plywood on their windows to protect their inventory ahead of tomorrow night's election and the mayhem it might spark, no matter which candidate wins.While many offices remain closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a small number of doctors and dentists offices are quietly telling patients that they will close on November 4.
Until Donald Trump’s arrival, the globalist revolution was almost solidified and institutionalized—with the United States increasingly its greatest and most “woke” advocate. We know its bipartisan establishment contours.
China would inherit the world in 20 or 30 years. The self-appointed task of American elites—many of whom had already been enriched and compromised by Chinese partners and joint ventures—was to facilitate this all-in-the-family transition in the manner of the imperial British hand-off of hegemony to the United States in the late 1940s.Our best and brightest like the Biden family, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Bill Gates, or Mark Zuckerberg would enlighten us about the “real” China, so we yokels would
A forensic psychiatrist, and former guest and health expert on both CNN and MSNBC, praised Adolf Hitler in an attempt to criticize President Donald Trump, and compared the Holocaust to Trump’s handling of the pandemic.
Dr. Bandy X Lee, an outspoken critic of Trump, tweeted her shocking comparison just one day before the election, crediting Hitler with better character than Trump. “Donald Trump is not an Adolf Hitler. At least Hitler improved the daily life of his followers, had discipline, and required more of himself to gain the respect of his followers,” she wrote. “Even with the same pathology, there are varying degrees of competence."
Yesterday, President Trump held five rallies in five different states, barnstorming through Michigan, Iowa, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. On Saturday, he did four rallies in Pennsylvania alone, including one that drew 57,000 people to the small town of Butler

If Twitter blue checks weren’t so busy denouncing Trump rallies (Snip), they might notice how these events are more than just campaign rallies; they’re manifestations of a fundamental shift that’s taken place in American political life.

Two of the most accurate national pollsters of the 2016 presidential election show movement towards President Donald Trump over the weekend that puts the race within the margin of error.
Throughout last week, the IBD/TIPP tracking poll had former Vice President Joe Biden up consistently in the range of five to six points. On Monday, his lead shrunk to just 3.2 points, exactly within the poll’s 3.2 point margin of error.

In just about every state of the union, including Alaska, there were massive car rallies in support of President Trump throughout this weekend. Today, the scale of the organically inspired car caravans surprised almost everyone. [Twitter Thread Here]Most of the MAGA caravans were organized on social media and through email contact lists. However, all of the locally organized events were organic and represent an entirely new dynamic in political campaigning. The visibility is impossible to ignore.

The U.S. manufacturing sector grew at a quicker pace than expected in October, registering its sixth straight month of growth, according to a survey released Monday.
President Donald Trump has made reviving manufacturing a centerpiece of his campaign to be re-elected. Democrat rival Joe Biden’s climate change policies would cost tens of thousands of auto manufacturing jobs, according to Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Rebecca Mansour, and would hurt factories across the country.
The Institute for Supply Management’s index of purchasing managers rose to 59.3 percent, up 3.9 percentage points from the September reading of 55.4 percent and the highest since September 2018. Economists had expected a much smaller gain to 55.7.
President Donald Trump commented on his massive rallies Sunday, comparing them to crowds of fans showing up for rock stars.
“There’s never been anything like this, has ever happened in the history of politics, probably any other history. And I don’t have a guitar,” Trump said in Florida, comparing his crowds to those of rock stars.
“They don’t get crowds like this, nobody gets crowds like this,” Trump continued. “You know what gets crowds like this? Making America Great Again!”
The rally was the fifth of the day, appearing to the most energetic of all.
Across the country, Trump’s supporters streamed into open-air spaces to see their president
The Trump campaign on Monday warned that Democrats are seeking to “delegitimize Eletion Day results” and “create a smoke screen by casting blame all around.”(Snip) “We are aware that Democrats have already cut television ads they are prepared to deploy to further cement the ‘Red Mirage’ misinformation, seeking to convince people that all Joe Biden would need for victory is more time, extending well beyond Election Day. At the same time, we fully anticipate that Democrats will be in court arguing to extend deadlines for accepting and counting votes mailed and received well past deadlines enacted by individual state laws.”
There is a great deal of manipulation and falsehood in media presentation of the 2020 election. These lies and false constructs generate a great deal of anxiety. That said, there are two specific approaches by the narrative engineers that deserve a strong reminder. The first purposeful approach media use to create and embed their false assumptions is a slight of hand that few notice, and it can create anxiety. In normal term-two election cycles the baseline for media analysis should be the incumbent electoral win in term one. T
In just four weeks, U.S. Sen. Tina Smith, D-Minn., has seen her staggering 11-point lead in Minnesota completely washed out.
The race between the Democratic senator proudly called the “highest ranking planned Parenthood executive in US politics” and an unapologetically conservative former talk radio host, Rep.

Since early summer, the country has been rocked with almost non-stop rioting via probable Biden voters that has spread to well over a dozen different cities. As recently as last week, we once again saw widespread looting and violence, this time in Philadelphia because the police shot a man who tried to attack them with a knife. Given the circumstances of this latest instance, you’d hope that even those who have previously excused rioting and looting would have said enough is enough. But that’s not what happened, and we instead got another round of MSNBC and CNN ignoring and/or downplaying what was happening.
That’s what makes this next clip so hilarious.

Joe Biden is letting loose against President Donald Trump in the final days of the presidential campaign.
At a drive-in rally in Detroit on Saturday night, Biden made fun of Trump for everything from his hairdo to his cozy relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin to Trump’s description of himself as a “perfect physical specimen.”
Biden noted the president “likes to portray himself as a tough guy,” but noted Trump was laughed at by United Nations leaders. “Tough guy, my — my word,” Biden said, pausing just short of finishing the quip with a vulgar word.
Why is Earth pulsating every 26 seconds, and why can’t scientists explain it after 60 years? This is an enigma wrapped in a periodically predictable mystery motion. It could be a harmonic phenomenon, a regular seismic chirp caused by the sun’s energy, or a beacon drawing scientists to its source to begin a treasure hunt. In the early 1960s, a geologist named Jack Oliver first documented the pulse, also known as a "microseism," according to Discover. Oliver, who worked at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory at the time, heard the noise, but didn't have the advanced instruments seismologists have now at his disposal.
No single voice so eloquently outlined the stakes in the 2020 election as Mr. Maximo Alvarez. As many willfully blind media contemplate why Latinos have turned their support toward President Trump, the words of Maximo Alvarez ring loud:

I’ve been covering American politics for a long time and I can’t remember a number that so dramatically altered the political community’s perception of a presidential campaign as that number did, last night, at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
The source of the number was The Iowa Poll, which has been the gold standard for statewide polling in the United States for decades. The number itself was the percentage of likely voters in Iowa supporting Joe Biden’s candidacy for president.

Flag-waving Trump caravans and convoys are parading on highways and bridges across the nation as Election Day approaches, earning praise from President Trump and condemnation from Democrats.
From the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey to the I-15 Freeway in Southern California, Trump supporters have been turning out in pickup trucks, SUVs and cars to show their support. Some of the miles-long caravans have snarled traffic and blocked bridges as the drivers stop their cars to chant and cheer for Mr. Trump.
In the past three days, Trump caravans also have been spotted in Marin County, California; New York City; the Washington, D.C., Beltway; Pima County, Arizona; Madison, Wisconsin; and Colorado.
Social media posts purported to show Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden saying “Hello Minnesota!” to a crowd in Tampa. But the posts, which sought to portray Biden as mentally unfit to run for president, rest on doctored video.

Posts such as this one shared a brief clip of Biden walking to a podium accompanied by music, in front of a banner that said, “Battle for the Soul of the Nation.” Biden then tells the crowd, “Hello Minnesota!”
If the name Alek Skarlatos sounds familiar, you’ve most likely heard of him for being one of the servicemen who thwarted a terror attack on a Paris train in 2015, subduing and disarming a *SUSPECTED* jihadist who opened fire with an AK47. The Oregon resident was awarded the Distinguished Service medal by Governor Kate Brown and the Soldiers Medal by the U.S. Army, and he would go on to star on a season of Dancing With The Stars. He would then star as himself in a Clint Eastwood produced movie about the aforementioned train attack. Then Skarlatos decided he’d had enough with crazed leftist antics
If you had to guess right now, would you say that Donald Trump is set to win? Or set to lose?
The math folks are pessimistic on his odds – the RealClearPolitics average nationally has him down a bit, and in key swing states Biden is up. But, Trump has also been trending upward and could end the campaign season within the margin of error in virtually every metric. Could.
When it comes to messaging, I’m pessimistic (of which I’ve made it no secret). He had a solid message in the economic performance of his administration – even with the pandemic – and there are signs he has been able to move
With the 2020 US presidential election just a day away, scores of New York City businesses have taken no chances and boarded up their storefronts over fears of potential civil unrest and riots.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday sided with Black Lives Matter activist DeRay McKesson in his ongoing effort to avoid a lawsuit filed by a police officer injured during a 2016 protest in Louisiana triggered by the police killing of a Black man. The justices threw out a lower court ruling that had allowed the lawsuit to proceed and said that more analysis was needed on whether Louisiana state law allows for such a claim.
On Friday, I posted over at VIP all of the early returns that have come in thus far for all of the battleground states. That data is a combination of voter registration data, ballot data of how many ballots were requested, and commercial data that explains voter behavior. The data has updated since then, but that data was bad news for Democrats Friday, and it was even worse for them by Sunday night. Democrats really needed to run up the score in early voting in order to overcome the large Trump leaning turn-out expected for Election Day. At this point, in 5 of the 12 Battleground States, Republicans
The MSM, Democrats and the Biden Campaign are complaining that the Tony Bobulinski story is a lie.

GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan — It was 1:30 in the morning when candidate Donald Trump took the stage for his final campaign rally in 2016.
Rusty Richter was among the 3,000 people crammed inside DeVos Place in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In his 35 years as a Republican activist, he said he watched everyone from Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush but that Trump commanded the room like no one he had ever seen before. “It was more exciting than any football game I’ve ever been to,” he said. “Truly the most memorable political experience I have ever had in my life.”

On May 11, 2016, I endorsed Donald Trump for president, under the headline, “In Alien vs. Predator, I’m for Predator, Because He’s OUR Predator.” Trump had just secured the nomination from his last Republican competitor, Sen.

I’ve criticized our president on many issues but never have I had cause to regret my 2016 vote. If the last election was Alien vs. Predator, this one is Predator vs. Zombie. I’m still for Predator.

Residents of Marin County near San Francisco claimed that a caravan of Trump supporters that rolled through the area reminded them of “terrorists,” according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Chronicle reported: Allen-Peirson said she was worried that the Trump convoy had purposefully selected Marin City as a minority-majority community in a county that is 80% white. Marin City has had a strong African American presence since World War II, when many people worked in wartime shipyards.
“I’m concerned about Marin City, because it’s the only Black community in Marin and there is only one entrance and one exit,” she said. “Are they going to attack us
Tomorrow, voters will choose a president, bestowing upon either Joe Biden or Donald Trump the power to wage war, set the country’s agenda and tweet out whatever he desires. (Snip) Down very close to the bottom of the ballot is the race for Hillsborough County register of probate. The job description is much simpler than that of president. Do nothing. The register of probate has no office. No secretary to handle the lack of any calls coming in. No county mailbox, email address or link on the county website.
A sickening feeling is spreading among some of the smarter Democrats that they have royally screwed up their election strategy. (snip) The plan, in short, was to terrorize Americans with fear porn over the purported dangers of COVID (snip) while emphasizing mail-in voting for their base. Republicans, they thought, could be discouraged from in-person voting on Election Day, and with compliant state governors, AGs, and secretaries of state extending deadlines for mail-in votes, the margin of victory could be manufactured
'Sleepy' Joe Biden was caught napping twice during a rally in Michigan on Saturday, missing his cue to appear on stage and then forgetting his mask as he walked off it. The 77-year-old was speaking at a rally in Flint alongside Barack Obama when he suffered the 'senior moments', just the latest in a series of gaffes that have dogged his presidential run. The first came as Obama had just finished warming up for his old Vice President, and tried to welcome him to the stage by shouting: 'My friend, the next President of the United State of America, Joe Biden!' But Biden was nowhere

The likely first female president of the United States if Joe Biden "wins" the election may also be the nation's first socialist leader if President Trump isn't reelected. In her brief tenure in the Senate Kamala Harris has been the most far-left senator in the upper chamber of Congress, even outpacing avowed socialist Bernie Sanders and will be a nightmare for America if she ends up in the Oval office. The former California attorney general and member of the San Francisco Democrat machine has been being groomed for the top spot by leftist interests and will quickly replace the senile Biden if he is installed into the White House.
After a humorous car stunt on a Texas highway outside Austin, where Trump-flag flying cars surrounded a big Biden/Harris campaign bus like a swarm of butterflies, the Biden team has cancelled now three events in Texas and called in the FBI.

Ashley Santiago is excited about the general election, and she’s working hard to educate her peers about voter registration and getting them enthusiastic about casting their ballot.Come Tuesday, she also plans to serve as an election judge.But there’s one election activity she isn’t taking part in — voting.Santiago is 16. And while she can’t cast a ballot herself, the junior at Foreman College and Career Academy on the Northwest Side isn’t passing up the chance to make her voice heard in a different way.
The Mandate of Heaven is a concept that goes back a long way:
The Chinese philosophical concept of the circumstances under which a ruler is allowed to rule. Good rulers would be allowed to rule with the Mandate of heaven, and despotic, unjust rulers would have the Mandate revoked.
Times have changed since the days of the ancient emperors of C’hin, but human nature has not. We still think of our rulers in the same way (snip) One of the features of a leader so blessed is that he endures and overcomes obstacles that would crush a lesser man. Does this apply to Trump?
For four years, the media have told every lie in the book to convince Americans that Trump is a Russia-loving, racist totalitarian. We know that the Russia collusion claim is a proven hoax; the racism accusations are proven lies; and Trump has shrunk, not grown, government power. Still, credulous people believe the media's propaganda. You can see how this propaganda affects people in a video showing a hysterical, frightened woman begging the police to disperse Trump-supporters with American flags because they're a dangerous "public display of force."
Vice President Joe Biden confused the Philadelphia Eagles logo with the emblem of his own undergraduate university at a Sunday campaign rally in the City of Brotherly Love. “I know Philadelphia well,” the former vice president told the crowd at a drive-in rally in a church parking lot. “I married a Philly girl by the way and by the way got my Eagle’s jacket on.” But Biden’s parka bore the logo of the University of Delaware Blue Hens — where he received his bachelor’s degree. The mix-up was quickly noticed by President Trump’s campaign.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking into allegations that Trump supporters endangered a Biden campaign bus on a Texas highway Friday, according to people familiar with the matter. (Snip)Campaign staff members and Democratic candidate Wendy Davis, who is running for the U.S. House seat for Texas' 21st district, became concerned for their safety after the vehicles surrounded their bus and forced it to slow down and veer out of its lane, according to Tariq Thowfeek, the communications director for the Biden campaign in Texas.
Bidenomics’ Shock Taxes

Facing perhaps their important election ever, Americans have much to worry about: Urban riots and political violence, a loss of respect for our basic constitutional rights and American institutions, and the spate of socialist-inspired radical policy proposals from the Biden campaign. Here’s one more thing: the ruinous taxes you’ll have to pay for the left’s socialist wish-list if Joe Biden wins.
A recent study by a group of highly regarded economists at the Hoover Institution, including two former members of the Council of Economic Advisers, found that the full panoply of Biden’s policy proposals — Medicare for All, big tax hikes
Democratic Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman tweeted an image of the “massive crowd” at President Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, to warn fellow Democrats to take nothing for granted. “The President is popular in PA,” Fetterman tweeted Saturday. “I don’t care what polls say. With 700K ballots still out there, you need to BANK YOUR BALLOT. Use a Dropbox. Get them in.” Fetterman included an image, taken by Politico reporter Gabby Orr, of what she called a “massive crowd” at Trump’s Saturday rally in the battleground state. (Tweet)
Former NY Times reporter Alex Berenson has spent most of the year challenging the fear-based mainstream coronavirus narratives, but on Sunday evening he gave an incredible summary of the Trump movement that everyone needs to see.Berenson perfectly laid out the case for why the "Trump movement" is the most fierce populist repudiation of elite opinion since Andrew Jackson.Here's his entire thread. Make sure to it from start to finish: Look, I don’t know if President Trump wins or not - the polls say one thing and the rallies say something else, and it feels like it’s going to be close either way - but this is already the most serious

We now know -- thanks to October -- who will win on November 3. The reason we know is found in early voting data. (snip)
Both parties vote early and in ever-increasing numbers. Which makes the October vote an early “action report” on the election outcome that’s more reality based than the polls or the mainstream media.
Who you vote for is a secret. When, where, and how many voters cast their ballots is not. It’s data. In this case, data in its most meaningful form: the number of early votes by registered Democrats and the number of early votes by registered Republicans.

Larry Schweikart has been tracking the early vote totals. He’s been signaling a Trump win for a bit now. He noted how Democrats are going to get bloodied in Florida. He also called out pollsters for how they were sampling GOP voters in their surveys.
If Trump wins Florida, Biden’s chances of winning the election dip below 50 percent, the core three (FL, AZ, and NC) probably go Trump, with Michigan and Ohio probably following suit. That’s the election right there. I mean, if we win Michigan, we’ll probably carry Pennsylvania as well. It’s the icing on the cake. Yet, Schweikart's recent thread
Fast and furious: That is how the polls are arriving at the moment, cascading into news coverage as Election Day looms large. In the past 48 hours, horse race polls were released by NBC News/Wall Street Journal, Fox News, CBS News, CNN, ABC/Washington Post, The New York Times/Siena College and Emerson College. More are on the way.
These surveys are intricate and often embellished with findings that gauge voter enthusiasm, push Democratic nominee Joseph R. Biden’s lead in swing states, or compare his personality traits with those of President Trump. Such findings often make their way into headlines that produce bad optics for Mr. Trump
Summarizing Joe Biden
replies
It’s well-nigh impossible to believe that any sentient voter is undecided between President Trump and former vice president Biden. Anyone who is still undecided is either too uninformed or too stupid to be enfranchised.
Those of us who believe national security is far more important than domestic matters need to understand that most voters don’t. To them, it is a question of what Joe Biden used to call the “kitchen table issues,” those at the center of family concerns.
Joe Biden’s campaign performance and his career in almost a half-century in government make it pretty simple to summarize Biden, his beliefs
Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters said Friday that it was “shameful” that young black voters might consider casting a ballot for President Donald Trump.
Waters joined SiriusXM’s “The Joe Madison Show” to discuss the state of the presidential election, and she had harsh words for any “black young men who think somehow they can align themselves with Trump.” Waters said that she didn’t understand how any black American could cast a vote for Trump, saying, “It just hurts me so bad to see blacks talking about supporting Trump. I don’t know why they would be doing it. I don’t know why it is on their minds.”
There will be many incidents from the past four years of the Trump era that will erode the public’s faith in the press to provide fair, accurate information — all the nonsense from the Russia collusion story, pings in Prague, the Steele dossier mess, false promises of what would be in the Mueller report and more. These will leave lasting, damaging marks.
But no story better exemplifies the core problem with the media’s anti-Trump instincts to elevate every crumb of a story to an 11 out of 10, only to be let down consistently for their exaggeration or outright falsehood, than the saga of “Anonymous.”
For those who don’t remember
Last week we learned that Pope Francis has torn up the Catholic Church’s teaching that same-sex civil partnerships are gravely immoral. This week he will be rooting for the pro-abortion candidate in the US presidential election.
These two surreal developments are causing distress bordering on spiritual despair to conservative American Catholics. Whether you feel any sympathy for them depends on your point of view. The Pope, it is safe to say, is unlikely to lose any sleep over the matter.
Francis dislikes the United States in general and its president in particular.

Recently on the Sean Hannity Show, pollster Robert Cahaly of the Trafalgar Group, predicted that President Trump would win reelection. As you may know, Trafalgar was almost alone in correctly predicting Trump’s 2016 win.
With so many mainstream polls showing Biden-Harris ahead, what accounts for Trafalgar’s contrarian position? According to Cahaly, the other pollsters are refusing to either recognize or factor in the very real “shy Trump voter” phenomenon. As explained by Cahaly, these voters “aren’t straightforward when it comes to these polls.” In short, Trump voters, who have been subjected to ridicule, condemnation, and threats, are not about to tell strangers — including pollsters —
On Friday, a Tunisian Islamic terrorist ran into Notre-Dame de Nice in France and beheaded a woman and stabbed two others who also died in the name of Allah. This attack followed the beheading of a teacher in Paris who showed a cartoon of Mohammed to her class. Another Islamic jihadist murdered her in the name of taking revenge for the insult to his prophet. In response to these vicious attacks on innocent people exercising their freedom of speech and religion in a free Western country, the Associated Press decided to go with this headline blaming France’s secularism and colonialism for the brutal attacks:
Has there been a worse candidate in history than Joe Biden?
When this election is over, the books revealing what went on backstage will be illuminating.
But the truth is there for anyone with eyes to see.
Take Biden’s car rally in Flint, Mich., Saturday, with a star-power assist from Barack Obama.
Awkward barely covers it.
Obama, effortlessly cool, gave a warmup speech to the assembled cars before ramping up to a dramatic introduction: “My friend, the next president of the United States of America: Joe Biden!”
Joe Biden is running a campaign based on the principle that this presidential election is a referendum on President Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. Team Biden has put all its eggs into one basket – Americans are dying because Trump has botched the response to the virus. To hear Joe Biden speak, it is as though Trump has the power to flip a switch and the highly contagious, deadly virus will just magically disappear. Instead, he’s left America in the dark. Biden’s America is a very dark place.
Hillary Clinton has been absent from the campaign trail in the final days of the presidential race, even as former President Barack Obama ramps up his role as surrogate-in-chief for Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
A slew of surrogates spanning the ideological spectrum of the Democratic Party have fanned out across the country to stump for Biden, but Clinton -- the 2016 Democratic nominee and former secretary of state under Obama -- has been noticeably missing.
The Biden campaign has deployed Obama, in addition to some of the former vice president's rivals from the Democratic primary, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.,
Celebrity digs in New York City like the luxury Chelsea apartment building will be protected by armed guards on Election Day, as the Big Apple and cities all across the country prepare for post-election violence.
One building, the London Terrace Towers, sent an email to residents saying, “As you are aware, government enforcement agencies across the country are making plans to control the possible civil unrest following the upcoming presidential election,” Page Six reported. “Regardless of the outcome of [Tuesday’s] election, our concerns range from isolated violent incidents to a long stretch of mass protests, confrontations between extremists, and potential property damage,” the management email noted further.
Michigan native Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, praised GOP Senate candidate John James as an “American bada**” and endorsed his bid.In a campaign ad released late last week, Kid Rock hailed John James for his stalwart record as a combat veteran who made himself successful before entering politics.“Hey, Michigan, it’s Kid Rock, and you have a chance to put a real-life American bada** in the U.S. Senate instead of a career politician, and that bada** is John James,” the musician said in a campaign ad. “John is a Westpoint graduate, combat veteran in Operation Iraqi Freedom, and a job creator.

On February 18, 2017, First Lady Melania Trump led the audience in The Lord’s Prayer at a rally in Florida. It was a thank you rally less than a month after the Trump Inauguration. The following day Father Giacomo Capoverdi shared a fascinating story about the Hermit of Loreto, Italy who predicted the Donald Trump presidency back in the 1980s. The holy man shared a premonition that President Donald Trump would help bring America back to God.

The polls say what they say.
The media culture is what it is.
American liberalism will be what it will be, and it can be expected that as returns roll in Tuesday night, it will be in full-blown indignation as it attempts to limit President Trump to one term.
But if the nation is still the place I believe I still recognize, that effort will be no more successful than the failed and forgotten impeachment.
The America I recognize has not always been the America I wanted. I wanted an America that would limit Bill Clinton to one term and keep Barack Obama from the presidency altogether. But I did not expect those results.
Without question, the upcoming presidential election is one of the most heated and divisive in recent memory. Current tensions have brought not only disagreements, bickering, and violence, but also misplaced distrust in the functionality of the U.S. presidential election system itself.
Both Democrats and Republicans fear that fraud and dishonesty can tip the scales against them. These practices often impact local races; however, President Trump’s bipartisan Election Integrity Commission, which I served on from 2017-2018, concluded that a tyranny of the majority or extant voter fraud has yet to swing a presidential election.
In the weeks leading up to the election, the hateful comments and misinformed questions flow easily from the Left: How can you support Trump’s Twitter attacks and hateful comments? Are you so shallow that you believe a great economy is the answer to everything? Why doesn’t Trump care for more than just the rich? With systemic racism still evident in white America how can you vote for a man who won’t even reject white supremacists?
Let’s get real. America is and will remain strong because of our cherished freedoms. For now, America remains a land of opportunity where working hard works.
It’s Too Late for a Late Hit

So, what was the Democrat/media surprise late hit this weekend after this column went to bed? You know by now. It won’t have been some anonymous latte-fetcher announcing his identity – that was last week. It won’t have been that Donald Trump, who like every other creditor in history settled a dispute with his lenders. Also last week. It won’t have been one of Trump’s business associates, a whistleblowing veteran with a vaguely Slavic last name, going on national TV with the receipts showing his massive and corrupt contacts with America’s enemies. That was Joe Biden, and you might have missed it if you only perused the mainstream media.
