Yeah, I love the way the smokestacks change the sun into 2 glowing eyes.

More Biden gibberish:

I think Trunalimunumaprze is supposed to be something like "true international levers of pressure" to "punish China".

Not that that makes any more sense since there's no context, but at least it's actual words.

Ann, the second most important Presidential election of your lifetime and you're just sitting it out? In one of the most critical states? How can you? How will you live with yourself?

As much as I respect Ann, I must say that her focus on the aesthetic of MSM websites over right/populist sites is disturbing.

It makes me think that Orange Man Bad is because he doesn't have a really nice crease in his trousers and his suits are poorly fitted. Oh, and he eats the wrong (i.e, not from Whole Foods) stuff.

At some point, even "intellectuals" need to appreciate their limitations. It is a pretty sad state of affairs when they celebrate rather than scrutinize their own biases.

Have the pharma companies released any efficacy data for trunalimunumaprzure. It is supposed to be the virus killer that Biden is promising if he is elected.

A trashy news source that is beneath Althouse blog standards posts about the lawsuit against the Oregon Black Only Business relief fund.

The fact that the Oregon legislature passed such an obviously racist Act isn't surprising.

Democrats are self evidently racist.

At it's base it's just your average, everyday Leftist virtue signaling. "I'm one of the elite because I read the NYT and not Breitbart. Only deplorables go there."

Great photo. Sunrise around here gifts us with beautiful sights most days. The last few have been studies in gray and white - not my favs but beautiful in their own way.

My work profession has been sales for about 35 years, nearly all that time with publicly traded firms. Large ones. Every now and then our leadership tells us this is the most important quarter ever. It doesn't matter if the previous quarter was great, terrible, or middling. The reason for calling it the most important quarter ever is an attempt to motivate us to close business now - which is what we are all trying to do anyway; it's how we are paid. Leadership apparently doesn't believe this is true. If every, or many, quarter is the most important one ever, then none of them are.

To all you "Most Important Presidential Election Ever" folks I say, it isn't really. The sun will rise next Wednesday morning, regardless of who is elected. What you do that day and the ones that follow is entirely up to you.

Prof: I followed your intermittent plan and lost 15 lbs from 1/1 to 10/31. Since you started it in fall of 2019 as I remember, can you update on your program? Are you still on meals during the eight hour times? Etc.

On Tuesday night, the world will know what I have said all along since 2018, the GOP lose all WH, Senate, and House. The press win. The Dems win. GOP no power till 2032 or 2036.

Cheers!

From a "second most important election" guy, in response to Stevew. Yes, what is current always seems more urgent than what has passed. In my lifetime I have seen the country divided over policy frequently. But there was still a common culture and a shared understanding of basic facts. That does not seem to exist anymore.

So when the results of the election are known, the sun will indeed still shine. But if corruption is rewarded by being ignored, if the mainstream media is shown to have been able turn elections by biased reporting, if all the social institutions that mitigated the effects of similar trends in the past have decayed, do you really think tomorrow's sun will shine on a brighter day In all of our tomorrows?

Voting for Trump can have dire consequences in family dynamics. Amish aren't the only ones who shun those who stray from the dogma. Of course, the Tolerant Left doesn't stop with shunning; they spew all kinds of hateful, hurtful thoughts and words, which the Amish would never do. Should re-education camps ever become a thing, well... mom and dad, grandma and grandpa deserve it; I have no doubt.

@TickTock: this is indeed an important election, for all the reasons you mention it matters greatly. In writing my comment I was thinking back to all the elections I've participated in, back to my first in 1976 (Ford v Carter). I'm not sure that many of them were called "the most important", but a few were. What I remember most was all the chicken little sky is falling pronouncements when a certain candidate won, usually a Republican like Reagan, GWBush, and Trump, and, of course, Obama. Very few of the dire predictions came true, and many of those were overturned or reversed by the next administration. The widest gap between the scary predictions and what actually happened has been those following Trump's election.

I'm an optimist. I believe in America, its people, and our system. Perhaps there is a bit of Pollyanna in me - though at 63 years of age I like to think of it as a realism born of experience and observation.

I hope I'm right but also agree it is important that Trump wins.
