The link on "Long, Hot Summer" goes to "In Miami-Dade, dueling rallies in support of Black Lives Matter and President Trump" (Miami Herald). I don't really know what's in that article that justifies the photograph of what I'm calling a blackface fist or that headline using a phrase that back in the 1960s meant there would be "race riots" in the city all summer....
It's got to be to chime with that blackface fist that Drudge chooses 2-fisted Biden to illustrate "POLL: Trump losing female vote by historic margin..." That picture is one of several pictures at the link, which goes to "LADY TROUBLES/Trump ‘losing female vote to Biden by a historic margin not seen in more than 50 years’ – but men still on his side'" (The Sun). In that poll, Biden has a 20-point advantage with women, and Trump has a 2-point advantage with men. Polls — who believes them?! But why 2 fists when the issue is his appeal to women? Don't we imagine that the female preference for Biden over Trump is that he seems to be a kinder, gentler fellow?
Perhaps Drudge means to suggest that women are going to need a strong protector, and there's Biden, balling up his fists — does he look adequate to fight for you, as this "long, hot summer" comes on? In that light, consider the third item in my screen shot: "Winston Churchill's picture mysteriously vanishes from Google amid rising tensions" (knewz):
Searches for ‘British prime minister’ and ‘World War 2 generals’ called up photos of everyone else but the legendary British prime minister — just after his statue in London was defiled. The images were eventually restored. The picture of Winston Churchill suspiciously vanished from Google search results on Saturday just as the legendary British prime minister was under siege from racial justice protesters in the United Kingdom. The images reappeared about 12 hours later on Sunday, with Google saying it was an unintentional “updating issue.”The old-school belligerent male protector is disappearing from the scene, and all we've got left is old man Biden, because the women seem to think he'll have to do.

I don't think I can follow the news anymore. It's bad for my mental health. The idea that Democrats (with Joe Biden!) are winning in the polls, after all that they've put the country through the past four years, is just too depressing and sad.

Yes, of course. We can't imagine Trump ever smelling women's hair that he hardly or does not know.
It’s not a drudgetaposition because Drudge isn’t doing Drudge Report now. The lefty in charge has not a whit of the wit the of the original Breitbart-Drudge team. It isn’t interesting to me like it was before. I’m genuinely interested in whether others see it the same way. For the first time, moderation is an advantage in that I wish to see what the fresh uninfluenced takes will say.
Polls — who believes them?!
the drudge report, who believes it to be Anything but anti-Trump?
At least Biden can descend a ramp without stumbling and drink water without using two hands.
How come Howard Stern is getting a pass on the black face? There's a video of him using the n-word multiple different times and in black face many different times and it's barely made an impact
Drudge is unreadable except for comic relief. I attribute the Churchill kerfuffle to Occam's Razor.
THEOLDMAN
Watched the Trump Birthday Flotilla originate in Jupiter here outside The Square Grouper on the Loxahatchee River/Jupiter Inlet. Made a Jupiterite proud. Many of the bridges are open on demand so the traffic was busy idling LOLz for several periods yesterday. It was a beautiful day and as a result, no crowds at the local restaurants which are still working at 50% capacity rules.
Republicans are gaining significant ground with minorities and the urban demographic while losing significant ground in the white suburbs. They are long term trends, though the media chooses to make news only about the second trend.
Special interests are working to mitigate the first trend.
Trump started with such remarkable promise. A shame to see such a great opportunity so thoroughly wasted.
It hasn't been "Drudge" for a long time. It's Lefty shit and nobody normal reads it.
Looks like a "gerbil fist" to me.

Don't be depressed. And don't believe the polls. We are being gaslit.
Let assholes like ATM think they're winning.
and all we've got left is old man Biden, because the women seem to think he'll have to do.
Repeal the 19th.
Trump hasn’t wasted any opportunity at all, ARM, and has moved forward on the agenda he promised. Although honest responses are rare, I’ll throw a Q at you all the same. What “great opportunity” did Trump fail to grasp? Did I miss an extended olive branch somewhere? Isn’t he negotiating with your friends the Taliban for peace in Afghanistan? Hasn’t he asked for an infrastructure bill for like four years now?
A black glove would have been sufficient.
Drudge has become unreadable. Except one doesn't actually read Drudge, one skims it. So, really it has become 'un-skimable'.
Watch for Biden to return to hair-sniffing and boob-gauging.
If he ever leaves his basement.
Not data- I see a lot of screeds from lefty suburban women against Trump, but I can't find a single post singing Biden's praises or even suggesting anyone vote for him- just against Trump. Also I can't find a single post from a suburban woman who voted for Trump in 2016 who has decided to vote for Biden this time- or even to stay home. There has been a large bump in membership in the #walkaway movement the last couple of weeks, and a lot of the testimonies are from suburban women. On the lefty blog sites I've been reading since 2007, there's a lot of scrambling to find reasons to vote for Biden and a lot more interest in his VP pick- kind of like when everyone on the left worried McCain would die and leave Sarah Palin president only this time they're hoping it will happen.
It’s not a drudgetaposition because Drudge isn’t doing Drudge Report now.
I quit reading it shortly after the Chinese cooties started because it was over-the-top fear porn.
There's a video of him using the n-word multiple different times and in black face many different times and it's barely made an impact.
It sounds like a nice example of a rationality (except for the who-whom part which determines who should be crucified for their harmless behavior and who shouldn't)
Read what ARidiculousMoron was saying when Trump was elected. You won't find the word "promise" anywhere.
Loneliness is such a
Drag....
As long as Joe is showing women both fists they don’t have to worry about his digital outreach.
A blackface fist is the perfect representation of the current protest riots.You have white middle class Antifa types promoting riots under the guise of supporting BLM. Their real goal is to destroy capitalism. So they are kind of wearing blackface.
Trump and the Republicans controlled all the levers of power for two years and all they could produce was a tax cut for the rich, which has left us with a vast debt before the even vaster debt incurred by Trump's failure to respond adequately to the pandemic.
Could have had mandatory E-verify.
I have read several biographies of Churchill. He was definitely the great man of his era, but, as his biographers made clear, he also made many mistakes of a magnitude commensurate with his greatness. I'm fine with that. What irritates me is the fact that some really wretched figures on the left are written about in hushed, reverent tones for all the years of their lives and for maybe a generation or two after their death. Henry Wallace got a better press than Churchill.
If Biden's hands are in fists he can't stick his fingers in anything.
"the women seem to think he'll have to do."
Many women prefer the prog fist. Until it hits them in the face. Then what?
They are trying to purge the miami police chief because of 23 year old remarks
Because feelz are the most important thing of all!
Rough men stand ready...
Women can't handle the truth?
The editors who now pretend at Drudge will be surprised.
The apeal of biden to women is that he has dementia and will relinquish the presidency on Nov 05, 2020, to the black owman, Michell Obama, he picks for his vice president.

ARM reads it and believes it.
The polls in favor of a Biden landslide are good - like in 2016, they give a false sense of security and illuminate the media for the lying weasels they are.
Maybe the Suburban White Women know that if Biden wins the new President in about a month will be a Black Woman. All that White Guilt! Don't think they will like what happens next.
I told you, get used to the fist.
If Biden leads amongst women then MeToo is well and truly dead. How long can it take to search the records for Tara Reade's complaint?
I suggest the nervous (and well off) women go abroad for the season.
Most places are saner than the US seems to be at the moment.
And the wine is extremely cheap in Spain.
And if sunny Spain seems a little - hot - for a summer jaunt (and I wont lie, it does get to Arizona heat in most parts), consider Galicia, Cantabria and the Basque country, which are pretty much like coastal Washington State.
And if one is a bit left and neurotic, pretty much all of Spain is nice and cool October-November, and the tourist crowds will have moved on. You can have the place - any place - to yourselves, and the locals.
In case you were wondering, I am doing my patriotic duty to assist the recovery of the Spanish tourist industry.
There is a reason that Socialist governments followed voting rights for women.
I haven't visited Drudge in a few years since the site became just another boring anti-Trump outlet. Seems things haven't changed.

I have no idea what happened behind the scenes but I hadn't heard that Drudge isn't in charge anymore. Did he cash in or something? Did he take some of that sweet Soros or Chicom money?
Almost 1 million people have signed up for Trumps Tulsa rally. Can Joe get that kind of crowd??

Welcome to America, where Democrats can do as they please, all the while screaming and crying if YOU do it.
Anecdotally, my mom, who is pretty much a single-issue pro-life voter, did not vote for Trump the first time but is becoming more convinced she'll be voting for Trump this time, though I doubt she'd admit that to many people. She still can't stand him, but views the alternative as even worse.

With the threat of negative repercussions if you admit support for Trump, you would need to insane to do so.
I hang up on all surveys now.
Plus the typical poll does “all voters” vs likely voters, and over samples Democrats.
A recent article lambasted the fact the Trump campaign was feeling Hillary like, with too many people. I wonder if these people are being used in a ground game (traditionally a weak area for the gop), and going after minority voters...
The 800,000 requests to attend a Trump Rally at a stadium that holds 19,000 is amazing.
Name one lasting achievement of Trump's. A massive deficit, a botched response to the virus, record unemployment and a labradoodle breeder don't count. Mandatory E-verify would have been a miracle compared to what he has actually achieved.
Howard Stern gets a pass for blackface because if called on it, he will dedicate a multihour show heard by tens of millions to ridiculing you for doing so. He will demonize you as a mother raping, sister fondling, brother sucking, dog killing dementia patient, and that characterization will stick to you for years.
A good defense beats a rotten offense. With a big stick.
Tying to the Hendrix song "Long Hot Summer" makes obvious sense. But I think even more applicable Jimi lyrics come from another song on that album, "House Burning Down." All of 'em I think from that year, 1968.
Sisters and brothers, daddies, mothers standing around crying
When I reached the scene the flames were making a ghostly whine
So I stood on my horse's back and I screamed without a crack
I say, "Oh baby why'd you burn your brother's house down?"
...
I said the truth is straight ahead so don't burn yourself instead
Try to learn instead of burn, hear what I say, yeah, yeah

Who cares about the Drudge Report these days? It's actually pro-Clinton now. That's what money can do.
I haven't even looked at Drudge in over a year.
unnamed people dissing parscale, whereas nate tin is still quoted as an authority,
With the threat of negative repercussions if you admit support for Trump, you would need to insane to do so.
This is my impression too. In today's hyper polarized, hyper intense atmosphere where expressing a political opinion that is against narrative can sometimes result in destroyed careers, social ostracization, and even destroyed property, I could see a lot of people demurring with regards to any political questions. I can easily imagine that currently there's a lot of people who plan on voting for Trump in November who would have little desire to respond to any kind of poll. It's basically the shy Tory effect on steroids.
Buwaya: "Most places are saner than the US seems to be at the moment. And the wine is extremely cheap in Spain."
So cheap we brought back 300 bottles of Tempranillo from the Rubera del Duero appellation, plus 10 kilos of olives and 10 liters of premium olive oil from a small mill in Zahara de la Sierra near Ronda when we relocated to the US last year. I wanted to stay until after the election to see if anything was left of the US, but the wife said 5 years was enough. I think you’re wrong about the heat, however, at least on the Central plain and in Andalusia – the temperatures may be Arizona like, but the humidity is pure South Florida. The Northwest corner and Basque Country on both sides of the Pyrenees and the mountains themselves are as you describe, but neither the Galicians nor the Basque would necessarily admit to being Spanish. Regardless, I salute you for assisting the Spanish tourism industry – we did much the same for the Cadiz economy in the mid teens when unemployment was at 25% and one third of the shops and bars were still closed from the 2010 recession. In fact, we liked to say we spent enough money to ensure the survival of the entire Costa de la Luz and not one penny more.
Enjoy your stay in Spain. We may be joining you in December. I subscribe to your recently stated prepper policy of having funds and living options elsewhere.

It's weird to see Ann post a pic of Drudge's front pages. I had abandoned it summer of 2018 because of it's over the top TDS. Particularly the regurgitation of Russian collusion nonsense. I can get that anywhere.
I used to hit Drudge every day since 1997 and just like that, replaced it with other places without much bother. To be effective propaganda you have to change up your pitching. Like when NY Times grudgingly reports good financial news or something positive. I know it must give them hives whenever they have to report on reality.

How weird do the Democrats have to get before Normal people - even women - turn on them. We have a 78 y/o Ex-senator running for President holed up in his basement, wearing a mask, and unable to give a press conference or hold a rally.
And he got nominated, because the Democrats just stopped the Primaries in March, and declared him the Winner. Now, he's going to select a female candidate as VP, no males need apply, and everyone's pretty sure it will be a black/Latino. And despite the fact, they'll probably become President sometime in Biden's first term, no effort is being make to pick a VP with any Foreign policy or Defense experience. We got an obscure congresswoman, the Atlanta Mayor, the first term Governor of NM, Senator Pocahontas, and Sen. Harris.
Bizarre.
Does this mean that women and feminized men will ruin the country sooner rather than later? Sounds like it.
Oh, did I say “ruin?” I meant “run,” didn’t I?
No problem though. The girls can count on us to build the bridges, hit 100 mph fast balls, repel the burglars and the PLA. Or not. Maybe Diana Prince can take over all that.
Trump's response to the virus will be judged by the results, which look like appalling ineptitude.
He's the chief, the top banana, the man sitting at the desk where the buck stops. It's all over.

This asshole reminds me of the defense attorneys who would tie up death penalty cases in court for 20 years then appeal on the grounds that his client was denied speedy justice.

The Left has thrown a four-year temper tantrum in the national grocery store, and it's up to the nation's moms to decide if it gets a piece of candy at the register or a good swat on the behind for its behavior.
The question isn't Trump or Biden.
It's what kind of generation we'll raise the Millennials to become.
Trump was at his best during the early Coronavirus daily updates. He showed leadership and people responded positively. He had the momentum. Unfortunately he let the press derail his focus and he hasn’t found a way to regain his footing. If Dementia Joe is able to ride out the race from his basement, it will be tough sledding for Trump.
Arm,
Since, federally, the rich do not pay taxes, how did pdjt cut taxes for the rich?
Federal taxes are on income not wealth.
We could argue about whether the death tax is a tax on wealth if you wish.
Otoh, by limiting deductions for state and property taxes, the wealthy are paying more taxes to the feds.
So there's that.

I think any trump supporter would have to be insane to tell any pollster that.
Even more so now in light of the past couple weeks.
Otoh, they are getting close to 1mm sign-ups for Saturdays mega rally. 800m as of last night

Blacks and Anti1a are rioting for the privilege of blacks to commit crimes and not get arrested. There’s no need for anyone to don a Hawaiian shirt and start the Boogaloo— it’s on.
hombre ... this asshole
Wait a minute ... you still look at Drudge*? What are you, in high school?

I kind of agree with you here. The culling of the elderly in NY state and Minnesota and WA is over. The "spike" is going to peter out.
If it doesn't, then Trump is in trouble but I don't think it will be a happy outcome for you. The TDS is rotting your brain like tertiary syphilis.

He got 14 million in donations on his birthday yesterday.
Yeah....thoroughly wasted.
brainslug starved as in futurama,
I have no idea what happened behind the scenes but I hadn't heard that Drudge isn't in charge anymore. Did he cash in or something? Did he take some of that sweet Soros or Chicom money?

I'm surprised there hasn't been more speculation about that. My own is some left-wing plutocrat paid Matt a king's ransom with the requirement that he not begin a start-up in competition, the idea being that without the Drudge Report to point the way conservatives would become confused and their energies dissipated.
