Comments:

Author predicts Kelly/Masters will be close and goes on to describe vote counting mess in AZ - several hundred thousand early voted ballots yet to be counted, the clog caused by malfunctioning tabulating machines at some polls, etc. Author digs deep so is worth a read...

Who are we kidding. Democrats cheated and stole again. Now that they know how, I don't see how we will ever have fair elections again. What happened in Florida was because DiSantis put safeguards in place and cheating didn't happen. No idea how we will get our country back.

The future's so bright, you need sunglasses! You should hear the talking heads trying to spin this feces sandwich into roast beef. Time to come to Jesus folks. If inflation, fuel, food, open boarder, Nazi lockdown wasn't enough to motivate people to change coarse on the ship if state nothing is. Let's suck it up buttercup!

I agree with Catherine. What happened yesterday in Arizona is despicable, especially in Maricopa County where 20%, 1 in 5 voting machines didn't work! And the corrupt local judge wouldn't extend the voting hours, even though voters had to run their ballots through the working machines over and over again to get a clean smudge proof ballot. This made the voting lines long and voters had to wait for hours to vote...some left before voting. President Trump even made a video and asked people to stay in line and not leave. Lawsuits will commence over this for sure. The Head of the Board of Supervisors of Maricopa County came out and said that everything was working well. Ha! Far Left people all over the place counting the votes in many counties in AZ. How else to explain the shenanigans? Voters, who couldn't get the machines to work, were told to take their votes and put them in a box 3 and later someone would count them. Really? Who? Chain of custody anyone? The AZ Supreme Court needs to set in and stop the stealing of citizen's votes. These voting machines were never fixed from 2020! And guess who is the head of the Arizona voting...Katie Hobbs, the one responsible for fair and honest voting, and who is now running for governor...a clear conflict of interest.... Is anyone watching the hen house while the fox is stealing the chickens??? Will we have a Republic after all of this is over?

Ya wanna know what I want to see? Manchin announces that he will caucus with Repubs, doesn't even need to switch party ID...flipping the senate, removing Kamlalala from the mix. Dems only have 50% because two Non-dems chose to "Caucus" with them already. Massive Media Meltdown.

With recent calls for “Pandemic Amnesty” from the groups who destroyed lives and businesses, closed schools, stripped away your freedoms and turned family, friends and neighbors against each other, the unvaccinated and truth tellers find themselves in a pickle. Morality and civility could argue that we should forgive those who vilified us for choosing medical sovereignty, non-compliance with unconstitutional mandates, and simply questioning the narrative, but it’s not that simple. Some “pro-vaxers” may have been legitimately uniformed or scared to blindly follow health guidelines and government mandates without question. But the mob mentality to demonize the unvaccinated and gaslight society into thinking we were the problem crossed a potentially unforgivable line.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. World Economic Forum’s Drs. Klaus Schwab and Yuval Noah Harari present their dark vision for humanity as inevitable. But is it? During a very long interview filmed earlier this week (snip), it became clear to me that many still do not understand the nature of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, Yuval Noah Harari, and the dark vision of the future which they are so aggressively advancing throughout the world. This vision of Schwab and Harari is based on projections that the future of humanity which they foresee will consist of an anticipated “fourth industrial revolution”.

According to the fake news, former President Donald Trump did not see the victory he had thought his endorsement would create on election night. But that is not accurate. Trump already has tallied more clear wins than defeats. The day before the midterm elections, former President Donald Trump released his “inspiring” list of endorsed candidates.“We will stand up to the radical left Democrats and we will fight for America like no one has ever, ever fought before,” Trump said during a rally in Ohio.

State Rep. Tony DeLuca, a Democrat, died at age 85 on Oct. 9 due to lymphoma. The timing of his death was too late for election officials to change the ballots. DeLuca had served as a representative in the Pennsylvania state legislature for 39 years. He received more than 85 percent of the vote in the 32nd District in Allegheny County. This accounted for nearly 14,000 votes on Election Day, and more than 7,000 votes via mail. DeLuca had served on the House Insurance Committee and the Democratic Policy Committee. His opponent, Green candidate Queonia “Zarah” Livingston, received roughly 14 percent of the vote.

On the occasion of the 2022 Midterm Elections, the Hawkeye State experienced the full effect of their own tsunami that’s been building over the years. Once a quintessential swing state, Iowa has swung totally red. Governor, both Senators, all four Reps, state AG (close race)—all Republican. It was the final flip of House 3, in a very close race, that did it (call it a 2000 vote margin out of over 300k votes). But it doesn’t stop there. The state senate stands at 32R, 18D. The state house is 60R, 40D.(snip) a sort of cherry on top of the tsunami, Amendment 1 - Establish state constitutional right to bear

After last night's shocking loss in the counting of votes, conservatives need a little hope. We got a ton of it from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. He took on LGBT, transgender-mania and Disney. And that was just in March. He opened his state for business during the pandemic panic and triggered an economic boon. He is a fighter for the people. Floridians rewarded him on Tuesday with a landslide victory.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.—The votes are still trickling in, but it’s too close to call a winner for the hotly contested Arizona governor’s race. With about 66 percent of the votes reported as of 11:22 a.m. ET on Wednesday, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs led Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake by 11,726 votes, according to The Associated Press. With the race too close to call, Lake took the stage at 10 p.m. local time on Tuesday, and told watch partygoers that she was ready to “fight to win,” and, even if it takes hours or days, she’s confident about her chances. She also said her campaign is getting results that in-person voting favored her.

Wealthy citizens who’ve donated heavily to political campaigns this year include supporters of both of the major political parties, although none of the others comes close to billionaire philanthropist George Soros, who has given more than $128 million to help elect Democrats, according to a new tally released by OpenSecrets, a Washington-based research organization. The recipients of donations aren’t limited solely to individual candidates but also include parties, political action committees (PACs), the hybrid PACs known as Carey Committees, and tax-exempt 527 organizations.The next three slots on OpenSecrets’ list are occupied by individuals who’ve spent lavishly to support Republicans.

Donald Trump is continuing to treat Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis like a political enemy. On Wednesday, Trump pooh-poohed DeSantis’s huge and historic victory by insisting that his 2020 win in Florida was bigger. “Now that the Election in Florida is over, and everything went quite well, shouldn’t it be said that in 2020, I got 1.1 Million more votes in Florida than Ron D got this year, 5.7 Million to 4.6 Million? Just asking?” Trump won Florida in 2020 by 3.4-point margin, while DeSantis won reelection by a 19.45-point margin. Sorry, Trump, I think DeSantis’s victory is far more impressive. This ridiculous, ego-driven pettiness from Trump has got to stop.

President Joe Biden pledged to build a high-speed railway between Scranton, Pennsylvania, and New York City on Wednesday. The president made his bold (and likely unrealistic) pronouncement during his post-midterm election press conference on Wednesday when recalling how a congressman in the state of Pennsylvania asked if his infrastructure plan would include a high-speed rail between the two cities. “We can. First of all, it will make it a lot easier to take a lot of vehicles off the road, and we have more money in the pot now already out there that we voted for than the entire money that we spend on Amtrak, to begin with,” he said.

Atlanta — Georgia Democrats are “praying” that former President Donald Trump launches a 2024 presidential next week, saying it would be manna from heaven for Sen. Raphael Warnock in his runoff race next month against Herschel Walker. The thinking is Mr. Walker’s close ties to Mr. Trump — who prodded him to move back home to Georgia from Texas for the Senate race — will weigh down his run while the Trump announcement also energizes Democratic voters and turns off some Republicans. “If he announces like they say, the second or third week of November, before the December [runoff] election, oh, my God …we’re praying that he does it,”

Democrats' strategy of spending millions to boost pro-Trump candidates in Republican primaries appeared to pay off Tuesday as the party ended the night with a clean sweep of the races in which it chose to meddle. All six of the Republican candidates who seemingly benefited from the meddling in their primary victories fell to their Democratic opponents. Those races include a number of key House and gubernatorial races, as well as the New Hampshire Senate race. Democrats spent more than $40 million boosting those six GOP candidates, all of whom expressed support for former President Donald Trump as a leader of the Republican Party or were backed by him.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is making a play for another term in leadership next week while control of the upper chamber remains in the balance after the Kentucky lawmaker’s chess game sabotaged chances for a GOP majority. In September, McConnell inaugurated the fall midterms by undermining Republicans in key races when the GOP Senate chief complained of “candidate quality.” “I think there’s probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate,” McConnell said on Fox News just before Labor Day, the unofficial start of the fall campaign season. “Senate races are just different, they’re statewide, candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome.”

There is trouble on many fronts in Arizona, where officials are having issues counting votes. Yet collecting and counting votes is basically the full description of their job. Republicans are seeing red, as it were, and registering their outrage in interviews and on Twitter. The problem receiving all the focus is in Maricopa County, which is the most populous county in the state. About 20% of the polling sites there reportedly had issues with tabulation machines reading ballots. Believe it or not, the Maricopa County Supervisor’s name is Bill Gates. Gates’ crack team of vote counters estimated that about 7% of the votes in the county were affected – about 17,000 ballots.
