Andante From Piano Concerto No. 2 In F Major Op. 102
Dmitri Shostakovich

Let's not forget the Democrats, like Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who registered objections to the electoral count in the 2016 election. Then there were the efforts to undermine/threaten/flip electors away from Trump. Plus, there were more than 70 Democrats who boycotted Trump's inauguration. Oh, and let's not forget the leftist riots in the streets.

What will they do now? Kelly, a lawyer, mentioned the lawfare she thinks is coming. I think that's probably a given. If they act as insane as they were in 2016 after he won, how much more insane will they be now? //

🚨REP. RASKIN: "It's gonna be up to us on January 6, 2025 to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he's disqualified."

"We need bodyguards for everybody and Civil War conditions, all because the nine Justices...do not want to do their job."

4:17 PM · Aug 5, 2024

Back [to] all the things that he's been saying, and all the people in his administration who've said he's a fascist, he wants to be fascist, his friends are all dictators.

KELLY: I don't care about that at all. Not at all.

MAHER: Because?

KELLY: January 6th was not good.

MAHER: Wait, why don't you care about that at all?

KELLY: Because they've been saying that about Trump for years, they've been saying that about Republican candidates for years. It has like a long storied history. If you are at all center or center-right, you are used to having your candidate of choice completely demonized, whether it's the f-word, the r-word, the misogynist word.

They tried to tell us Mitt Romney was a raging sexist because of binders full of women. They tried to tell us John McCain was a raging racist not withstanding the fact that he adopted a daughter from Bangladesh. They've been doing this for every Republican and they get to Trump and we are not longer listening to them. Trump has incendiary rhetoric, there's no question, but we have four years to judge him by, and the country was going pretty well, unlike the four we've had with these two. //

MAHER: Well, first of all, Trump inherited somebody else's economy.

KELLY: That's what Barack Obama would like us to think.

MAHER: Well, it's true. Really, on day one, everything changed?

KELLY: So walk me through it. So Trump has Obama to thank for his economy, but Biden can't thank Trump for anything?

MAHER: Okay, let's get off this... //

KELLY: Trump did not go after his political enemies with the DOJ. That was Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

MAHER: Well, we had Hitler in the 30s and things were okay, and then we had Hitler in the 40s, and they got way worse. Just because we had him...

KELLY: Oh, I see, he hid his Hitlerism the first four years and is going to come out in full force the second four years.

MAHER: Well, he tried to do things like that. He tried to do dictatorial fascist things, and he was stopped.

KELLY: Joe Biden has flouted the law when it comes to these student loan giveaway programs.

MAHER: Really, you're talking about...

KELLY: He's flouted the law, Supreme Court opinions that openly told him he didn't have the right to do it, and he openly said, "I will get around the Supreme Court." He did it with respect to rent abatement programs, the same exact thing, and then he and Kamala Harris unleashed this Department of Justice against their political enemy, Donald Trump, their number one chief rival for the presidency. Is it funny? Because they did it. You want to talk fascism? That's fascist.

MAHER: I don't think history is going to be kind to your point of view, but I appreciate you coming on again. //

Kelly is sharp but she needs to get better about J6. It was a false flag. Most of what disturbed people like her and Guy Benson was planned and executed by the Democrats and Antifa. It was bad but not because of Trump. And the sheer hypocrisy of the left cheering on BLM riots and Antifa riots and all the rest utterly disqualifies them from selective outrage over a mild incident largely instigated by the left.

I was surprised at the traffic lineup as I approached the exit ramp for the road where the office is located. I figured it was construction, but the longer we sat, I thought it must be an accident. It was neither. It was the line of cars waiting to enter the parking lot of the Election Board. I waited in line in my car for 55 minutes just to park. Another 20 minutes in line to get my ballot.

Holocaust survivor Jerry Warstki condemns Kamala Harris for comparing Trump to Hitler.

"For her to accuse President Trump of being like H*tler is the worst thing I ever heard in my 75 years living in the United States."

12:34 PM · Oct 25, 2024

Wartski, a 94-year-old Jewish man who was imprisoned in the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II, explained why this rhetoric is an insult to those who experienced Nazi Germany. //

They thought calling Trump a...FASCIST! (for the 50th time) would work. They apparently were convinced that undecided voters were just waiting for Kams and her campaign to call Trump a... FASCIST! — for the 51st time.

They moored their Hindenburg to a: "TRUMP'S A FASCIST!" mooring mast, and predictably, the campaign has gone up in a fireball. //

If just one of Kamala’s interviewers would ask her point blank to define fascist, and then to explain how Trump fits the definition, she would be logically eviscerated. Just one.

Pennsylvania is thought by many to be the key to the race. One of the seven swing states, the Keystone State's 19 electoral votes are critical, and the presidential candidates are scrapping and clawing for them. Not only is voter turnout key, but so is voter registration. And so we've witnessed an amazing amount of effort being put into the registration ground game this election cycle — with some positive results for the GOP. In 2020, there were 4,228,888 registered Democrats and 3,543,070 registered Republicans for the November election. As of October 21, 2024 (the last day for registering in Pennsylvania), there were 3,971,607 registered Democrats and 3,673,783 registered Republicans. Thus, Democrats have lost ground while Republicans have gained it. //

Late Friday morning, news broke that election officials in Lancaster County had discovered potential voter registration fraud implicating as many as 2,500 registrations.

On Saturday, an advertisement not from the Trump campaign but from the "MAHA (Make American Healthy Again) Alliance" came out, and I have to say, it's one of the most powerful political advertisements I've seen in quite a while. It speaks to one of Harris' weaknesses - men. //

Dear Kamala Harris. Let's get one thing crystal clear. The vast majority of American men have no issue with electing a female president. Our issue lies solely with you. You were second in charge of California for 13 years. (New voice) As Attorney General of California, Harris promoted enforcement of a law that allowed prosecutors to seek jail time for parents of truant kids. //

MAHA Alliance's ad closes with this brutal message to Harris:

As men, and protectors of women and children, you are simply a risk we're not willing to take.

I have to agree, as an American man myself. I would have no issue voting for a woman for president if she represented my values: Liberty, private property, individual rights, minimal government, low taxes, and putting the liberty and rights of the American people above and beyond any other consideration. I'd vote for such a candidate in a trice, no matter what plumbing they had.

And as an American, I can agree with many other Americans, who are sending the message to Kamala Harris: "It's not us, Kamala. It's you."

Trump was lucky he lost in 2020, no matter how it happened.

Trump comes back much more seasoned. And American voters are much more chastened to what more Democrat mismanagement does to them.

Had Trump won in 2020, the Deep State would have destroyed him. Now all of America is on to what the Deep State can do to our lives.

Democrats and the Deep State now own draconian covid power grab and the the loss of trust in all government run institutions, lock stock and barrel. This is very healthy for America. No more Democrat hive mind shoved down our throats.

Deemocrats may have won in 2020, but they destroyed themselves in the process. It will be MAGA 2024 and the country is behind this need for change.

Robert Kagan is married to Victoria Nuland — the disastrous Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs for most of the Biden-Harris Administration

And Bush and Obama. Funny how the one guy she didn't work for didn't have any wars.

After 5 years, I have canceled my subscription to the Washington Post.

It isn't an airport, Steve. You don't have to announce your departure. 35 years ago, I didn't have you as a pathetic drama queen on my dance card. Or Robert DeNiro. Or Howard Stern. Or...

What is going on with Bezos's decision not to let the Washington Post endorse Harris for President?

Oh, come off it. You know damned good and well why endorsements aren't pouring in. The fans demanded your team sign a new QB in the 4th quarter of the freaking game and put her in, and after a great deal of cheering and fanfare, you thought you were getting Tom Brady and ended up with Johnny Manziel.

In a surprise move, the New York Post announced on Friday that it's endorsing Donald Trump for President of the United States. //

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has rightly been criticized as an underqualified political lightweight because she refuses to answer almost any question about the last four years or reveal any detailed future policy plans.

What may also be just as true is that she doesn’t want the American people to know the full scale of her radical plans, because it would scare them off.

Indeed, any close study of her record shows it to be that of a San Francisco progressive.

If she wins, Harris will not only co-opt Bidenism but accelerate the progressive hurricane ripping through the fabric of American society. //

No, this is HUUUUGE. The Post is conservative but in a blue sea, and part of its conservative outlook is that it doesn't offend its local advertisers and non-partisan readers. We read this endorsement and the way it is written as confidence that it speaks for the silent majority of NYC. This could be the canary in the coalmine that the decision to do the MSG rally was pure genius. Trump may be on the verge of winning New York State.

On Friday, U.S. District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles, a – wait for it – Joe Biden appointee, ordered that 1,600 of those 6,000 names removed in August be put back on the voter rolls, saying the names were illegally removed too close to the election. The usual suspects are behind all of this:

Advocacy groups that sued — the Virginia Coalition for Immigrant Rights, the League of Women Voters of Virginia and others – said that data shared by the state for the case shows more than 1,600 people had their voter registrations canceled under the program during the quiet period.

Remember when the supreme court ordered PA to segregate and control the disputed ballots prior to the election in 2020? They of course ignored the order, counted the ballots and then mixed them in with the others so they couldn't be audited or identified. Oops, just another happy accident. Can't fix it.

VA should follow their law and let the activist judge twist in the wind here. This kind of ruling where the laws must not be enforced so you have to allow criminal acts is typical of the liberal judges with agendas (border law anyone? catch and release was a court ruling not a written law).

Merz added: "I don't need to tell any of you how important it is that Leader Jeffries is serving as Speaker Jeffries when it comes time to certify the election on January 6, 2025."

Why? What have they got in mind? When it comes to certifying the election, which will be done by the incoming Congress, what difference does it make whether it's a Speaker Johnson or a Speaker Jeffries (shudder), if they are going to honestly follow the process defined by the Constitution and statute? Why is it important that Hakeem Jeffries be the speaker when this happens? What is Julie Merz driving at? What do Democrats have in mind, here? //

Democrat-controlled House will almost certainly start the Impeachment Express up again. //

Then it’s civil war time…

Biden and Harris can’t stay in the White House beyond Jan. 20th, 2025. It there’s no POTUS or VP available, who is 3rd in line for interim President? Yes, the Speaker of the House. So the one that hogties the succession directly benefits by becoming temporary king.

Like I said, civil war in the offing if that occurs.

Images emerging from trail cams placed on a family farm in a small Vermont town are a stark reminder that border security in the North is also a disaster under the Biden-Harris administration.

The images come from Newport Center, a town with a population of about 1,500. The cameras are situated roughly 2.5 miles south of the U.S.-Canadian border.

The Newport Dispatch reports that multiple cameras on the LeBlanc family farm caught multiple groups of men traversing the property, including one image capturing "what appeared to be several men led by a guide wearing a turban."

The property owner notes that the man in the turban, eyes glowing in the images, was spotted making separate runs "back and forth" to guide different groups. //

LeBlanc indicates that the activity is consistent and widespread, claiming neighbors have witnessed groups of illegal aliens emerging from the woods.

“This is an everyday thing,” he explained. “It’s definitely concerning, and we definitely have an uneasy feeling. You can’t really let the kids go alone anymore. It just puts a spin on things that we’re not used to.” //

VTDigger published an extensive report in August indicating border patrol agents have been surging to the location as they battle "record numbers of migrants attempting to cross the Canadian border into Vermont and neighboring states."

A border patrol official overseeing operations in Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York, told the outlet his agency has "seen a number of apprehensions that we’ve never seen in our recorded history in this area.”

We must choose the following:

*VA secure border and a sensible immigration system.

• Safer cities and support for law and order.
• A thriving, low-tax and low-regulation economy for all — fueled by an energy policy that supports, not penalizes, industry and households.
• Common-sense policies that restore the power of parents to choose what is best for their children on school choice, gender surgery and trans athletes playing in female sports.
• An America that’s respected on the world stage — feared by our enemies and trusted by our allies.
  Only one candidate can credibly claim to lead us there.

Donald Trump.

In 2021, when Biden-Harris took over, the country took a hard left turn, with disastrous results. //

Voters should ask themselves if they were better off under Trump or Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

His opponents focus on how Trump’s administration was marked by a relentless soap opera of high drama and chaos — much of which they fueled.

And yes, many find him offensive — and we say fair enough: He can be ridiculously hyperbolic.

But before COVID wreaked havoc across the globe, Trump’s first-term results were paychecks that grew markedly faster than inflation, the lowest unemployment in 50 years, a secure border and peace overseas. //

In 2021, when Biden-Harris took over, the country took a hard left turn, with disastrous results. //

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has rightly been criticized as an underqualified political lightweight because she refuses to answer almost any question about the last four years or reveal any detailed future policy plans.

What may also be just as true is that she doesn’t want the American people to know the full scale of her radical plans, because it would scare them off.

Indeed, any close study of her record shows it to be that of a San Francisco progressive.

If she wins, Harris will not only co-opt Bidenism but accelerate the progressive hurricane ripping through the fabric of American society. //

Voters this fall will decide if the future of our country bends toward prosperity, security, freedom, opportunity and innovation.

Or sticks with ruinous big government largesse, deliberately divisive policies, appeasement and stagnation.

Trump wants to free businesses from choking regulations and cut taxes for workers.

Harris would risk making inflation worse with even more government “freebies” to special interests — paid for with inflation-feeding debt or job-killing taxes.

As we've learned over the years watching tight presidential races, each state holds its own election and has its own set of rules as to how it is administered. This makes for some stark differences in, for instance, deadlines set by states for accepting absentee or mail-in ballots. Mississippi allows ballot receipt up to five days after Election Day.

Until now, that is. On Friday afternoon, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision holding that ballots must be both cast and received by Election Day and that Mississippi's law is preempted by federal law. //

The State’s problem is that it thinks a ballot can be “cast” before it is received. What if a State changes its law to allow voters to mark their ballots and place them in a drawer? Or what if a State allowed a voter to mark a ballot and then post a picture on social media? The hypotheticals are obviously absurd. But it should be equally obvious that a ballot is “cast” when the State takes custody of it. //

That is not to say all the ballots must be counted on Election Day. Even if the ballots have not been counted, the result is fixed when all of the ballots are received and the proverbial ballot box is closed. The selections are done and final. By contrast, while election officials are still receiving ballots, the election is ongoing: The result is not yet fixed, because live ballots are still being received. Although a single voter has made his final selection upon marking his ballot, the entire polity must do so for the overall election to conclude. So the election concludes when the final ballots are received and the electorate, not the individual selector, has chosen. //

In January 2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic, only 14 States and the District of Columbia accepted ballots postmarked by Election Day—with the other 36 requiring receipt on or before that date. //

As Justice Kavanaugh recently emphasized: “To state the obvious, a State cannot conduct an election without deadlines . . . A deadline is not unconstitutional merely because of voters' own failures to take timely steps to ensure their franchise.” //

Federal law requires voters to take timely steps to vote by Election Day. And federal law does not permit the State of Mississippi to extend the period for voting by one day, five days, or 100 days. The State’s contrary law is preempted. //

If this is such a Constitutional question, why did the Fifth Circuit limit its ruling to just the states under its jurisdiction when we know a single judge can make a ruling that covers the entire country? I’m rather surprised the RNC didn’t push the Fifth Circuit court to apply its ruling nationally since that ruling isn’t all that useful when not applied uniformly across the nation.

If the Democrats were wise, they wouldn’t appeal this ruling since it only really applies to one deep red state. If this goes to the Supreme Court and the High Court affirms the Fifth Circuit ruling, then it would apply nationally.
