I can't believe Donald Trump would fake working at McDonalds. Who would do such a thing?
* Michael Dukakis, driving a tank * John Kerry, wearing a bunny suit on a space ship * AOC, faking standing outside a cage and the media helping her do it * Hillary Clinton, sobered up long enough to try to act like she'd ever ridden a subway but couldn't figure out how to get on * Justin Trudeau, donning black face to prove his White Pride * Joe Biden ... sniffing underage girls he's sexually attracted to
Poll musing - FL - Univ of North Florida has DJT up 10 over KH, but Scott (R) has a 3 point lead in his senate race. This seems hard to believe. Why would a DJT voter not back Scott?
Your picture is absolute proof that global warming is real. Because the sky and lake are kind of red orange colored. If white vapor were coming out of the 3 vent stacks that would prove it more.
So I'm reading Nate Silvers 24 reasons that Trump could win. Okay. Let's dissect a few.
Populism is often a highly effective strategy, and many Trump voters are indeed “deplorable” in the Hillary Clinton sense of the term. Don't you just feel the respect Nate Silver has for Trump voters with that statement?
Illegal/unauthorized immigration increased substantially during the first few years of the Biden/Harris administration amid a rising global backlash to immigration. and- is continuing unabated. Both because of the Biden/Harris administration. Deplorables aren't deaf, dumb, and blind.
Harris ran far to her left in 2019, adopting many unpopular positions, and doesn’t really have a viable strategy for explaining her changing stances. Stances? What stances? Anyone know? Inga- do you know?
But it’s hard for even legitimate Trump critiques to penetrate the mass public. Trump’s conviction on a series of felony charges hardly made any difference, for instance. Ah, another example of us deplorables not being deaf, dumb, and blind. And recognizing, like the appeals court in NY- no one in history has heretofore been charged with or convicted of these offenses. Does Nate Silver not recognize this himself- of is he blinded by TDS?
Democrats’ college-educated consultant class has poor instincts for how to appeal to the mass public, while Trump has done more to cultivate support among “weird” marginal voting groups. Actually a good point here that he understands. I will mention all my normally non-political stoner friends on Facebook are pro-Trump. Weird marginal defines them...
And #24 Harris has been running on vibes and has failed to articulate a clear vision for the country. It might have been a good strategy if the “fundamentals” favored her, but they don’t. Doesn't he even see that vibes are not stances? Let's be honest- we all know (although some just suspect) that if she articulated her real visions for the country- it would result in a 50 state blowout. Even in CA people don't want to vote in Communism directly.
I read Stevie Wonder is campaigning with Harris. Perhaps he can reach back for one of his oldies and sing “You Haven’t Done Nothin’ “…
“And we are sick and tired of hearing your song Tellin' how you are gonna change right from wrong 'Cause if you really want to hear our views You haven't done nothin' Jackson 5 join along with me say Doo-doo-wop, hey-hey-hey Doo-doo-wop, whoa-whoa-whoa”
Trump’s conviction on a series of felony charges hardly made any difference, for instance.
The hell it didn't. I made my first donation ever to Trump on that day, and it was a big one. And I ordered yard signs. The Stalinist Democrats need to be punished for their ludicrously flimsy show trials. If not for their monomaniacal conspiracy to use our courts for political vendettas, I might even have gone back to voting Libertarian as I have many times before.
who is all in up in here on getting some $ from your trump pal Elon? Sign up today for chance at a million.you just have to be a trumpeter or righty. Nothing better for Democracy than a billionaire putting on a lottery for registered voters,,beautiful....Must be a swing state voter (wink wink)cmon man
Just saw a casual news story: they are "legalizing" homeless voting in my state. All you have to do is register to vote with putting down as your address a homeless shelter or a.... PO Box. Which can be shared by lots of other "homeless" people.
I think they called it the "Democrat vote fraud enabling bill" or something. I mean, seriously... how on earth can that possibly be secure? Mail in ballots sent to a PO Box with zero idea who the voter is or where they live, because they are homeless? It screams vote fraud. And of course the Democrats are pushing it. Expect to see a massive surge in homeless "voters" this election in my state. "Gosh, who knew we had 50,000 homeless people? And they all voted Democrat -- amazing how they know which party will be better for them! Odd how they all have the same handwriting though. Such a coincidence!"
Sure sign of a low IQ, Rich, is rigidity of thought. Complete lack of openness to different ways of thinking, to sophisticated communication which uses things like irony, humor, etc. If you can only understand communication as if all meaning is literally contained in the straight meaning of the words, well, "mid-wit" can only be an aspiration for you.
They just had an election in Moldova where the people who live in Moldova voted 55% against joining the EU. Guess what? The mail in votes came in and overnight the result flipped.
Alleged Democrat Maria Shriver, former First Lady of California ... who Arnold turned down for a Mexican maid ... spills the beans at a Kamala "Town Hall" ... admitting that the audience can't ask questions.
Trump draws in a significant number of former/present Democrats. I have written this before- the political leanings of states change when he is on the ballot. He makes Iowa, Ohio, and Florida non-tossups but those cross-overs are not as keen to vote for a non-Trump GOP candidate for any office.
Trump is likely to run ahead of all the GOP Senate candidates in states that are normally thought of as tossups.
I've often wondered, looking at the sunrise photos, what is the set of 3 towers that appear, in today's top photo, just to the left (north) of the rising sun. I tried figuring it out using Google Maps, with the satellite view, but couldn't. Best guess: an electric generating plant that uses those evil fossil fuels that everyone hates but relies upon every day.
If mail-in voting is going to be a thing (it shouldn't), the voting deadline needs to be a week before in-person voting happens. And all mail-in votes need to be counted and reported before the polls open.
It’s Elon’s money, and it’s a lottery. It’s not like it’s our money buying votes by paying off student loans (Biden) or putting up down payments for first time buyers (Harris). Big difference.
"Perhaps Trump is right about immigrants breaking the law -- send him back?"
Hell of a message man. I am sure that you are personally related to the first slug worm that crawled upon the beach in antediluvian time, and now owns the entire world due to reparations!
Stories about the Israelis burning up millions of dollars which Hamas had stashed under Buildings in Beirut and melting gold into the ground fascinate me. I mean, the usual way of burning up money is gambling which involves a tedious mathematical system which doesn't work and you commit suicide. Or, there's paying taxes as way of money-burning. Our tax dollars are at work checking up on whether falling rockets from SpaceX will kill baby seals. And so on. But this is all only symbolic money burning. The Israelis are literally setting fire to millions and millions of dollars and gold and jewels which Hamas had stashed all over Lebanon. That smoke over the city - that's dollar bills burning like leaves, gold melting like recycled plastic, jewels cracking like pond ice. And what the Israelis miss, alert Hamas operatives might take. "Ahmed, where's the cash?" "The Zionist pigs burned it all, O Commander of the Faithful. Your share is on your desk"
Awesome photo & superstar open forums, Professor! Do you know what "hush woman" is? Or means? Usually it's said and/or written with emphasis. I think it means a woman who is told by... someone... in her life or within society... to just vote the way she is told to vote, and to only participate in political issues in a way that is acceptable to those -- the Community, the Men, the social structure -- around her. A political friend of mine near Buffalo NY suggested that we emphasize that everyone's vote is private -- between them & the ballot booth, and even G-d should not be looking... to fight politically against the "hush, woman!" mentality. We in New York State also have a single ballot proposition this year that is basically a modern-day (but including sexual orientation and gender identity) rehash of the 1970s Equal Rights Amendment that was never federally approved. Any suggestions or insight from you pr your esteemed commenters is welcome! Thanks, Professor & Friends!
Moldova is a poor country partly occupied by Russian troops. Many Moldovan citizens work in other countries, they are legally entitled to vote - as are American expatriates, I'm pretty sure - and the ones living in the E.U. are naturally more pro-E.U. than the ones who stay home.
Much more sinister is the woman who was filmed asked surprised poll-workers when she was going to get paid for voting against the E.U., as she had been promised. Yes, Russia massively interfered in the election, as they do in any country where they think they can make a difference, but - as with Hillary in 2016 - they didn't manage to cheat quite enough to win.
I think that it is very telling that our Democrat poster friends here want to send Elon to prison for promoting the United States Constitution, specifically the Bill of Rights. What do Democrats have against the Bill of Rights?
Court decisions in Michigan and North Carolina deny GOP challenges to overseas voters ~ AP
Finds "there is absolutely no evidence" to support GOP theory of fraud. At the heart of every voter suppression scheme is a Republican lie about voter fraud.
Just say "NO!" to Proposal #1, in full: § 11. a. No person shall be denied the equal protection of the laws of this state or any subdivision thereof. No person shall, because of race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, creed [or], religion, or sex, including sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, and reproductive healthcare and autonomy, be subjected to any discrimination in [his or her] their civil rights by any other person or by any firm, corporation, or institution, or by the state or any agency or subdivision of the state, pursuant to law.
b. Nothing in this section shall invalidate or prevent the adoption of any law, regulation, program, or practice that is designed to prevent or dismantle discrimination on the basis of a characteristic listed in this section, nor shall any characteristic listed in this section be interpreted to interfere with, limit, or deny the civil rights of any person based upon any other characteristic identified in this section.
Pretty basically, "Just Say No!" to any amendment to any state constitution or to any ballot proposition is the proper choice. This amendment all but mandates genetic males be allowed to compete against genetic females- oh, wait, it DOES mandate that. If you have a young girl who shows promise in sports- you'll have to move to another state to give her the freedom to do so.
Today was the first day of early voting in Florida. The polls opened at 10:00 a.m., but I waited until noon, since I didn't feel the need to be the first person in line. There were probably 50-60 people ahead of me, and it took about 40 minutes to get inside. I had done my research and filled out my sample ballot in advance, so once I got my ballot it only took a couple of minutes to fill in all of my choices on the touchscreen and verify them. All told, less than an hour.
The crowd at the library I went to for early voting was mixed, probably about evenly split between men and women, lots of seniors but some younger people as well. I saw a few Trump caps and t-shirts, but spotted no Kamala gear. When I left, the line was as long as when I arrived. I figure that anyone who showed up on the first day probably had strong opinions and wanted to make a statement by voting at the first opportunity. That was certainly true in my case.
tim in vermont, with his usual honesty, writes (7:38pm): "Those Russian troops are in Moldova per the U.N.". Odd that this "fact" is unknown to Wikipedia's article on Transnistria. The U.N. is mentioned in 3 of its 187 footnotes, none of which says or implies any U.N. authorization for the Russian occupation. I do believe 'tim in vermont' just told a bald-faced lie.
And it's hardly "Odd that the camera was right there". Even primitive Moldovans have ready access to camera-phones. Anyone who follows the Russian invasion of Ukraine knows that Ukrainians and Russians all have camera phones and have made that war the most easily witnessed ever.
By the way, though Transnistria claims to be an independent country, I've read that the residents were allowed to vote in the Moldovan election, and did so. How many had Russian soldiers looking over their shoulders as they did so?
Homeless citizens should be able to vote just like any other citizen—by showing up at the polls on election day. They have no need for an absentee ballot; pretty much by definition they have nowhere else they need to be.
Early voting allows the cheaters to get a good look at how many fake ballots they need to print up to rig the elections. Same reason they release early counts. It's so they know how MUCH they need to cheat.
Oh wait ... you thought they're making it convenient for YOU? No. They're not doing that for you.
"Former California First Lady Maria Shriver admitted while hosting the event with former Rep. Liz Cheney in Royal Oak, Michigan that she would only include 'predetermined questions.'
'Are we going to be able to ask a question?' asked a woman in the audience.
'You're not, unfortunately we have some predetermined questions,' Shriver replied. 'And hopefully I'll be able to ask some of the questions that might be in your head, I hope so.'
Typically, presidential campaigns allow voters at townhall meetings to ask unscripted questions, which lends a level of authenticity to the proceedings and highlights a presidential candidate's personal touch."
Let's run an exercise. Who does Trump and Washington care about more? Ukraine or Israel?
Sell out Ukraine to Russia and Putin's power goes up exponentially. Some of this benefit inures to the benefit of Putin's close ally and supplier Iran. A stronger Iran weakens the position immediately of Israel and the United States more generally. No Arab country is going to think that a security relationship with the US is worth squat to start with. It goes downhill from there. Russia and Iran become the new balancing hegemons in the Middle East. The American public throws in the towel and goes isolationist.
Regarding NY Constitutional Proposition #1 / Gospace's comment: Okay, but: How exactly does NYS Proposition #1 mandate that? Does it? People on the Right seem to think it does. It's perhaps not clear to others how this interpretative mandate arises.
Proposal #1 affirms sexual orientations including pedophilia, sadomasochism, polygamy, transgenderism (e.g. homosexual), etc. And the performance of human rites or wicked solution to abort human life deemed unworthy of life at any time. Progressive liberalism writ large. The Rotting Apple.
Regarding Trump’s working the fry machine and the drive through window at a Philadelphia-area McRonald’s, I thought it was an interesting bit of campaign theater that wouldn’t do much to move the needle. However I must be wrong because the newsmedia are going insane (going more insane) trying to find a way to lambaste Trump for doing the stunt. All they succeed in doing is to make themselves look ever more ridiculous.
I agree with Yancey. It’s the job of the Republican Party to turn those disaffected Democrats who plan to vote for Trump into reliable Republican voters going forward.
I'm a liberal and I liked his McDonalds adventure... at least Trump is trying, and he's doing something no politician has done before. Bill Clinton talked up McDonalds but he didn't actually show up.
...or sex, including sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, and reproductive healthcare and autonomy, be subjected to any discrimination in [his or her] their civil rights by any other person or by any firm, corporation, or institution
No need to interpret it. It's there in black and white. Discrimination due to sexual identity FORBIDDEN! Or mayhaps I should say VERBOTEN!. If a male is mentally ill enough to declare he's female- sexual identity - he must be treated as such.
Now- is the demoncRAT NY legislature with Dictator Hochul going to criminalize my speech when I call out a female identifying male as a male? And a mentally ill one to boot? Seems the phrase discrimination in [his or her] their civil rights by any other person would allow them to do that. Or, heaven forbid, I should misgender them by stating the capital T Truth that they're male not female. Will that be unlawful? It's enough to get you fired from a school. Although courts have been pushing back on that...
Note- I'm concentrating on MTF illness since it's the most dangerous version. And it's easy to understand why that is so.
I agree with Dixcus about Democrat recriminations already starting, but instead of blaming Harris and Wslz for running a weak campaign, they should blame the likes of Schumer and Pelosi for pushing Joe out the door. They knew Harris was not a likable candidate.
I don't give a flying fuck about Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Iran, the Arab countries, or any other country on the planet. They can all go to hell for all I care. I say we make it illegal to post any American military other than Marine embassy guards in any foreign country anywhere.
Hey Gospace - I just really want to point out, with all due respect to you & our Host Professor, that your statement would have been much more sensible to me if you didn't include "demoncRAT" & "Dictator Hochul". I asked what I thought was a serious question, with significant implications. Why do you include the nonsense?! Thanks.
As n.n. says- they, all of them, are sexual orientations. The amendment, read as plain words, outlaws any form of discrimination against sexual orientations- with the exception of polygamy- that falls under multiple definitions, and the mist common is marriage. But the same justification for mandating SSM- which WAS mandated by courts, could easily be used to justify legalizing state sanctioned polygamy. With this amendment adding fuel to the fire.
Because neither is nonsense. Being forced to wear useless masks in public and not allowing children on playgrounds was ordered by Dictator Hochul and enforced by her stasi informants. One or my town's demoncRATs complained on a Facebook forum that "OMG! Children are playing basketball on the courts! Without masks or supervision!" Next day DPW removed the nets- and the day after the orange hoops since a net isn't needed to play...
Now tell me how that isn't dictatorship. And why informants shouldn't be called the RATS that they are.
Hovde, Rogers, and McCormick really need Trump to win those three states by at least 1-2% to even have a 50% chance of winning the seats since all three are challenging incumbents. The best chance in the midwest is unseating Brown in Ohio- Trump will win Ohio by pretty much the margins he won in 2016 and 2020 but the GOP candidate there (I forget the name right now) won't win the seat by more than a percent or two.
I don't think Harris was the option the Democrat leadership was planning to run- I think someone in the White House (possibly Biden himself) put out that endorsement of Harris- that wasn't planned by Pelosi etal. After Biden endorsed Harris openly later that week there was no opening for anyone else to run.
"A stronger Iran weakens the position immediately of Israel and the United States more generally."

There has been no bigger allies to Iran, and by extension the russkis, than obambi, biden, harris and the rest of the Keystone Kops of Foggy Bottom.
Hillary and Mueller sold off Uranium One to Putin's oligarch pals (who returned the favor by massive funding of the Clinton Global Initiative Slush Fund and Haiti Child Sex Trafficking Op, obambi/biden/harris gave the greenlight to the russki's to move into Syria, take Crimea and move into Eastern Ukraine.....all the while the Ukrainians were sending millions into the coffers of the Biden Crime Family Shell Corporations....
.....and additionally funding the Iranians directly to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars (even pallets of untraceable small bills.... a couple billion of those!) which the Iranians used to fund their allies (and the allies of the New Soviet Democratical party) Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis!
This has been proven every single day across the nation as the New Soviet Democraticals rally in support of Hamas and against Israel.....whom the US State Dept despises with a white hot passion.
Yes LLR-democratical Rich, we already have so very many answers to so very many questions that you leftists have worked so very hard to finesse and lie about for decades.............so go ahead with you hilariously Harry Sisson-level Abacus Boy gaslighting which could only fool the average 3rd grader......the very ages you guys seek to force explicit porn upon as part of your continuing grooming policies.
I would have thought LLR-democratical Rich and the rest of the lefty idiot brigade would have commented on the completely corrupted DOJ/FBI's quiet "adjustment" of the crime stats to now properly reflect that crime has indeed increased over the last several years and not dropped as the leftists knowingly lied about forever....including false "fact checks" during debates.
BECAUSE she is too stupid to actually answer any REAL questions and her fans here will cheer and say she is wonderful for answering questions she already knows, and decided what to say ahead of time. What a joke she is.

It seems clear the Kamala will refuse to be held accountable to anybody. If you wish to speak to her, it will be on her terms. Until that someone is a foreign adversary that won’t have to play her game.
"Odd that this "fact" is unknown to Wikipedia's article on Transnistria."
Wikipedia is not actually a source, but you are right. So, like I usually do with sources which steer me wrong, like Kiev sources regarding the war itself, which I took at face value early in the conflict since they seemed to be backed up by Western sources, but turned out so often to be wrong, I will knock the credibility of that source down a peg, or maybe I misheard, but I will remember it. You, on the other hand, keep repeating Ukrainian war propaganda even long past its sell-by date.
Starting over, start from scratch, reimagine, be unburdened by what has been, etc. are all phrases Harris has used wrt our institutions. Her values are all about breaking everything down and starting anew, including the US Constitution - ex. Illegal immigrants aren’t illegal. She is untethered from American reality. She even laments the all American McDonalds French fry.
A commenter asks: "Who does Trump and Washington care about more? Ukraine or Israel?"
One can only wonder why the United States of America was not even short-listed as a country this Democrat cares about. Nah! That's a rhetorical question. We know that the commenter cares more about Ukraine and Israel than he does the US, and assumes that we all feel the same way.

"Trump going to work at a McDonald's was disrespectful to McDonald's workers."
Simple projection by Walz, who plainly does not respect the workers at McDonalds and believes that the help should not be spoken to or acknowledged except when 100% necessary, I guess.
"The only daughter of former Republican President Gerald Ford has endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election."
Oh look, the daughter of the man who never got in by a vote either, but was awarded the position for his role in the coverup of the JFK assassination has come out for Kamala.
I bet every day they send a delegation to W's house, begging him not to endorse Kamala like his pappy, Dick Cheney did.
Don't worry though, Dick Cheney endorsed Kamala because he and his flower child daughter believe in world peace.
Althouse is garnering very high engagement from her commenters lately as the presidential election grinds toward a climactic finish. I can barely keep up with the conversations in between doing my actual job and my recent vacation/musical interlude.
The people busting Trump for working at McDonalds are the same people that will shit on McDonalds because they don’t help raise the six figure incomes of workers with contracts tied to minimum wage.
Democrats are running an attractive candidate for Senate here and her commercials in Florida are hard-hitting attacks on Scott. She says he introduced a bill to “end Social Security” and “cut welfare” in ads that use AI to literally make Scott a snake slithering into The Senate. It’s vicious but humorous and like I said, she is a quite pleasant appearing lady who is far from the usual Karens the DNC usually run, not at all like the bug-eyed Leftist we so often see here.
@ Dixcus Actually, it just makes sure that your vote is in before Election Day, so that if there any shenanigans like messed-up printers in Arizona, power failures, etc., then your vote still gets counted.
@ Dixcus Also, note that I'm in Florida. We have voter ID laws in this state and the Dems weren't able to set up their cheating operations here in 2020.
Jim is correct. But the Biden crime family is deathly afraid of what would amount to a very ordinary investigation into foreign influence peddling similar to what they dished out to Bob Menendez. Especially bag men Jim and Hunter.
Dixcus, Florida has about a million more Republican registered voters than the Democrats. I will be voting in Bay County FL in the next few days and rather like how Florida operates elections currently. It has come a long way from the hanging chads days. You must present valid ID and have been registered to vote by October 7th to participate. Keep your conclusions on ballot stuffing directed at states where this is valid.
Dead Julius, you said you were a liberal somewhere upthread. Are you a classic liberal like Althouse or more of a modern-day libtard? There is nothing liberal about most of today's liberals.

Laura Powell @LauraPowellEsq Kamala Harris was admitted to law school under a program for students “who have experienced major life hurdles, such as educational disadvantage, economic hardship, or disability.”
Kamala Harris’s mother came from the highest caste in India, but by moving to the U.S. and Canada, obtaining a prestigious degree, marrying a future Stanford professor, having a successful career as a cancer researcher, and sending her daughter to private schools, her daughter became unusually disadvantaged?
Strange how that works. https://x.com/LauraPowellEsq/status/1848437283176808661
Read the whole damning thread... https://x.com/LauraPowellEsq/status/1848458187747520896
@Yancey, over the course of the past year Althouse frequently opined that the Democrats nominating anyone other Harris instead of Biden would tear that party apart. I think she was right.
Will 'tim in vermont' tell us what source told him Russian troops in Transnistria are UN peacekeepers? 'Knocking the credibility of that source down a peg' hardly suffices: it was an obvious and stupid lie, and we need to know who told him. Everyone who pays any attention to world news at all knows that the Russians in Moldova, Ukraine, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Syria, and Wagnerites in Mali and Sudan, are NOT UN peacekeepers, never have been, and never will be (any more than the Ukrainians in Kursk oblast). They're invaders.
So who told you that, 'tim'? If I could post a picture here, I'd post the Twitter meme of the goose chasing someone saying "Who told you the Russians in Transnistria are UN peacekeepers? Who told you, motherfucker?"
By the way, only mediocre K-12 teachers tell you not to use Wikipedia as a source. Of course, it's not absolutely reliable, but neither are books, even books published by the most reputable publishers. We've all heard that the Romans sowed the ruins of Carthage with salt, and we can quote the august Cambridge Ancient History as a source, but those who have looked into it know that there is no evidence whatsoever that it happened, and that the distinguished professor of Ancient History who wrote that page of the CAH was confused, and put something Biblical into Roman history by mistake. You can in fact learn a great deal from Wikipedia if you read it critically. It's a Hell of a lot more reliable than ZeroHedge or Kim DotCom, both of whom 'tim in vermont' has quoted as authorities before.
The McDonald's restaurant where Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump briefly worked on Sunday failed its last health inspection, documents show.
Trump, a big fan of McDonald's food and a self-professed germophobe, wore an apron over his shirt and tie but did not wear gloves or a hairnet during his visit, stating that his hands were "nice and clean." According to the Meidas Touch, he went straight to work without washing his hands.
Employees not washing their hands was one of the reasons that restaurant failed its most recent inspection.

Doesn't he even see that vibes are not stances? Let's be honest- we all know (although some just suspect) that if she articulated her real visions for the country- it would result in a 50 state blowout. Even in CA people don't want to vote in Communism directly.
Is that a sunbow I’m seeing?
I read Stevie Wonder is campaigning with Harris. Perhaps he can reach back for one of his oldies and sing “You Haven’t Done Nothin’ “…
“And we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Tellin' how you are gonna change right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
You haven't done nothin'

Trump’s conviction on a series of felony charges hardly made any difference, for instance.
The hell it didn't. I made my first donation ever to Trump on that day, and it was a big one. And I ordered yard signs. The Stalinist Democrats need to be punished for their ludicrously flimsy show trials. If not for their monomaniacal conspiracy to use our courts for political vendettas, I might even have gone back to voting Libertarian as I have many times before.

Just saw a casual news story: they are "legalizing" homeless voting in my state. All you have to do is register to vote with putting down as your address a homeless shelter or a.... PO Box. Which can be shared by lots of other "homeless" people.
I think they called it the "Democrat vote fraud enabling bill" or something. I mean, seriously... how on earth can that possibly be secure? Mail in ballots sent to a PO Box with zero idea who the voter is or where they live, because they are homeless? It screams vote fraud. And of course the Democrats are pushing it. Expect to see a massive surge in homeless "voters" this election in my state. "Gosh, who knew we had 50,000 homeless people? And they all voted Democrat -- amazing how they know which party will be better for them! Odd how they all have the same handwriting though. Such a coincidence!"
Perhaps Trump is right about immigrants breaking the law -- send him back?

They just had an election in Moldova where the people who live in Moldova voted 55% against joining the EU. Guess what? The mail in votes came in and overnight the result flipped.

I'm not expecting it but it would be a nice bonus.
Trump draws in a significant number of former/present Democrats. I have written this before- the political leanings of states change when he is on the ballot. He makes Iowa, Ohio, and Florida non-tossups but those cross-overs are not as keen to vote for a non-Trump GOP candidate for any office.
Trump is likely to run ahead of all the GOP Senate candidates in states that are normally thought of as tossups.
"The mail in votes came in and overnight the result flipped."
Good grief.
I've often wondered, looking at the sunrise photos, what is the set of 3 towers that appear, in today's top photo, just to the left (north) of the rising sun. I tried figuring it out using Google Maps, with the satellite view, but couldn't. Best guess: an electric generating plant that uses those evil fossil fuels that everyone hates but relies upon every day.
If mail-in voting is going to be a thing (it shouldn't), the voting deadline needs to be a week before in-person voting happens. And all mail-in votes need to be counted and reported before the polls open.
It’s Elon’s money, and it’s a lottery. It’s not like it’s our money buying votes by paying off student loans (Biden) or putting up down payments for first time buyers (Harris). Big difference.

Stories about the Israelis burning up millions of dollars which Hamas had stashed under Buildings in Beirut and melting gold into the ground fascinate me. I mean, the usual way of burning up money is gambling which involves a tedious mathematical system which doesn't work and you commit suicide. Or, there's paying taxes as way of money-burning. Our tax dollars are at work checking up on whether falling rockets from SpaceX will kill baby seals. And so on. But this is all only symbolic money burning.
The Israelis are literally setting fire to millions and millions of dollars and gold and jewels which Hamas had stashed all over Lebanon. That smoke over the city - that's dollar bills burning like leaves, gold melting like recycled plastic, jewels cracking like pond ice. And what the Israelis miss, alert Hamas operatives might take. "Ahmed, where's the cash?" "The Zionist pigs burned it all, O Commander of the Faithful. Your share is on your desk"

Awesome photo & superstar open forums, Professor! Do you know what "hush woman" is? Or means? Usually it's said and/or written with emphasis. I think it means a woman who is told by... someone... in her life or within society... to just vote the way she is told to vote, and to only participate in political issues in a way that is acceptable to those -- the Community, the Men, the social structure -- around her. A political friend of mine near Buffalo NY suggested that we emphasize that everyone's vote is private -- between them & the ballot booth, and even G-d should not be looking... to fight politically against the "hush, woman!" mentality. We in New York State also have a single ballot proposition this year that is basically a modern-day (but including sexual orientation and gender identity) rehash of the 1970s Equal Rights Amendment that was never federally approved. Any suggestions or insight from you pr your esteemed commenters is welcome! Thanks, Professor & Friends!
Moldova is a poor country partly occupied by Russian troops. Many Moldovan citizens work in other countries, they are legally entitled to vote - as are American expatriates, I'm pretty sure - and the ones living in the E.U. are naturally more pro-E.U. than the ones who stay home.
Much more sinister is the woman who was filmed asked surprised poll-workers when she was going to get paid for voting against the E.U., as she had been promised. Yes, Russia massively interfered in the election, as they do in any country where they think they can make a difference, but - as with Hillary in 2016 - they didn't manage to cheat quite enough to win.
I think that it is very telling that our Democrat poster friends here want to send Elon to prison for promoting the United States Constitution, specifically the Bill of Rights. What do Democrats have against the Bill of Rights?
I believe you astronomically.
Yes, Madison Gas & Electric electric plant. Natural gas. Was coal when I was a child. I never noticed when they switched.
There also used to be intercity passenger train depot on the site.
Those Russian troops are in Moldova per the U.N.
But I am sure that the Moldovans can't wait to have done to them what the US and the E.U have done to Ukraine! Same with the Taiwanese!
""We won't betray you! We promise! Just don't ask the people left behind in Afghanistan who helped us!"
Thanks Yancey. Does that mean therefore that the R senate candidates in PA,MI, and WI have no chance?
"Much more sinister is the woman who was filmed asked surprised poll-workers when she was going to get paid for voting against the E.U.,"
Odd that the camera was right there ready to capture that, but I am sure it's 100% believable. They probably film every vote.
Kiev thought that because they had bought and paid for the Bidens, that they bought and paid for the United States. Not how it works.
Court decisions in Michigan and North Carolina deny GOP challenges to overseas voters ~ AP

Just say "NO!" to Proposal #1, in full:
§ 11. a. No person shall be denied the equal protection of the laws of this state or any subdivision thereof. No person shall, because of race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, creed [or], religion, or sex, including sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, and reproductive healthcare and autonomy, be subjected to any discrimination in [his or her] their civil rights by any other person or by any firm, corporation, or institution, or by the state or any agency or subdivision of the state, pursuant to law.
b. Nothing in this section shall invalidate or prevent the adoption of any law, regulation, program, or practice that is designed to prevent or dismantle discrimination on the basis of a characteristic listed in this section, nor shall any characteristic listed in this section be interpreted to interfere with, limit, or deny the civil rights of any person based upon any other characteristic identified in this section.
Pretty basically, "Just Say No!" to any amendment to any state constitution or to any ballot proposition is the proper choice. This amendment all but mandates genetic males be allowed to compete against genetic females- oh, wait, it DOES mandate that.

Today was the first day of early voting in Florida. The polls opened at 10:00 a.m., but I waited until noon, since I didn't feel the need to be the first person in line. There were probably 50-60 people ahead of me, and it took about 40 minutes to get inside. I had done my research and filled out my sample ballot in advance, so once I got my ballot it only took a couple of minutes to fill in all of my choices on the touchscreen and verify them. All told, less than an hour.
The crowd at the library I went to for early voting was mixed, probably about evenly split between men and women, lots of seniors but some younger people as well. I saw a few Trump caps and t-shirts, but spotted no Kamala gear. When I left, the line was as long as when I arrived. I figure that anyone who showed up on the first day probably had strong opinions and wanted to make a statement by voting at the first opportunity. That was certainly true in my case.
tim in vermont, with his usual honesty, writes (7:38pm): "Those Russian troops are in Moldova per the U.N.". Odd that this "fact" is unknown to Wikipedia's article on Transnistria. The U.N. is mentioned in 3 of its 187 footnotes, none of which says or implies any U.N. authorization for the Russian occupation. I do believe 'tim in vermont' just told a bald-faced lie.
And it's hardly "Odd that the camera was right there". Even primitive Moldovans have ready access to camera-phones. Anyone who follows the Russian invasion of Ukraine knows that Ukrainians and Russians all have camera phones and have made that war the most easily witnessed ever.
By the way, though Transnistria claims to be an independent country, I've read that the residents were allowed to vote in the Moldovan election, and did so. How many had Russian soldiers looking over their shoulders as they did so?
Homeless citizens should be able to vote just like any other citizen—by showing up at the polls on election day. They have no need for an absentee ballot; pretty much by definition they have nowhere else they need to be.

Early voting allows the cheaters to get a good look at how many fake ballots they need to print up to rig the elections. Same reason they release early counts. It's so they know how MUCH they need to cheat.
Oh wait ... you thought they're making it convenient for YOU? No. They're not doing that for you.
"Former California First Lady Maria Shriver admitted while hosting the event with former Rep. Liz Cheney in Royal Oak, Michigan that she would only include 'predetermined questions.'
'Are we going to be able to ask a question?' asked a woman in the audience.
'You're not, unfortunately we have some predetermined questions,' Shriver replied. 'And hopefully I'll be able to ask some of the questions that might be in your head, I hope so.'
Typically, presidential campaigns allow voters at townhall meetings to ask unscripted questions, which lends a level of authenticity to the proceedings and highlights a presidential candidate's personal touch."
LOL
"staged events"........
Let's run an exercise. Who does Trump and Washington care about more? Ukraine or Israel?
Sell out Ukraine to Russia and Putin's power goes up exponentially. Some of this benefit inures to the benefit of Putin's close ally and supplier Iran. A stronger Iran weakens the position immediately of Israel and the United States more generally. No Arab country is going to think that a security relationship with the US is worth squat to start with. It goes downhill from there. Russia and Iran become the new balancing hegemons in the Middle East. The American public throws in the towel and goes isolationist.
Washington under Trump won't know what it wants!
Regarding NY Constitutional Proposition #1 / Gospace's comment:
Okay, but: How exactly does NYS Proposition #1 mandate that? Does it? People on the Right seem to think it does. It's perhaps not clear to others how this interpretative mandate arises.
Isn't if funny how Hunter and Jill are GONE. vanished from the national scene.
Probably rolling in big paid off funding.
Proposal #1 affirms sexual orientations including pedophilia, sadomasochism, polygamy, transgenderism (e.g. homosexual), etc. And the performance of human rites or wicked solution to abort human life deemed unworthy of life at any time. Progressive liberalism writ large. The Rotting Apple.
olay but how does anyone reasonably get to your implications from the text???
Trafalgar has Tammy down one in WI. I wont believe it until I see it.
Regarding Trump’s working the fry machine and the drive through window at a Philadelphia-area McRonald’s, I thought it was an interesting bit of campaign theater that wouldn’t do much to move the needle. However I must be wrong because the newsmedia are going insane (going more insane) trying to find a way to lambaste Trump for doing the stunt. All they succeed in doing is to make themselves look ever more ridiculous.
I agree with Yancey. It’s the job of the Republican Party to turn those disaffected Democrats who plan to vote for Trump into reliable Republican voters going forward.
I'm a liberal and I liked his McDonalds adventure... at least Trump is trying, and he's doing something no politician has done before. Bill Clinton talked up McDonalds but he didn't actually show up.
...or sex, including sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, and reproductive healthcare and autonomy, be subjected to any discrimination in [his or her] their civil rights by any other person or by any firm, corporation, or institution
No need to interpret it. It's there in black and white. Discrimination due to sexual identity FORBIDDEN! Or mayhaps I should say VERBOTEN!. If a male is mentally ill enough to declare he's female- sexual identity - he must be treated as such.
Now- is the demoncRAT NY legislature with Dictator Hochul going to criminalize my speech when I call out a female identifying male as a male? And a mentally ill one to boot? Seems the phrase discrimination in [his or her] their civil rights by any other person would allow them to do that. Or, heaven forbid, I should misgender them by stating the capital T Truth that they're male not female. Will that be unlawful? It's enough to get you fired from a school. Although courts have been pushing back on that...
Note- I'm concentrating on MTF illness since it's the most dangerous version. And it's easy to understand why that is so.
I agree with Dixcus about Democrat recriminations already starting, but instead of blaming Harris and Wslz for running a weak campaign, they should blame the likes of Schumer and Pelosi for pushing Joe out the door. They knew Harris was not a likable candidate.
Israel just told everybody where Hezbollah's stash of cash and bullion is located. Brilliant!
I don't give a flying fuck about Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Iran, the Arab countries, or any other country on the planet. They can all go to hell for all I care. I say we make it illegal to post any American military other than Marine embassy guards in any foreign country anywhere.
Hey Gospace - I just really want to point out, with all due respect to you & our Host Professor, that your statement would have been much more sensible to me if you didn't include "demoncRAT" & "Dictator Hochul". I asked what I thought was a serious question, with significant implications. Why do you include the nonsense?! Thanks.
As n.n. says- they, all of them, are sexual orientations. The amendment, read as plain words, outlaws any form of discrimination against sexual orientations- with the exception of polygamy- that falls under multiple definitions, and the mist common is marriage. But the same justification for mandating SSM- which WAS mandated by courts, could easily be used to justify legalizing state sanctioned polygamy. With this amendment adding fuel to the fire.
Because neither is nonsense. Being forced to wear useless masks in public and not allowing children on playgrounds was ordered by Dictator Hochul and enforced by her stasi informants. One or my town's demoncRATs complained on a Facebook forum that "OMG! Children are playing basketball on the courts! Without masks or supervision!" Next day DPW removed the nets- and the day after the orange hoops since a net isn't needed to play...
Now tell me how that isn't dictatorship. And why informants shouldn't be called the RATS that they are.
Hovde, Rogers, and McCormick really need Trump to win those three states by at least 1-2% to even have a 50% chance of winning the seats since all three are challenging incumbents. The best chance in the midwest is unseating Brown in Ohio- Trump will win Ohio by pretty much the margins he won in 2016 and 2020 but the GOP candidate there (I forget the name right now) won't win the seat by more than a percent or two.
I don't think Harris was the option the Democrat leadership was planning to run- I think someone in the White House (possibly Biden himself) put out that endorsement of Harris- that wasn't planned by Pelosi etal. After Biden endorsed Harris openly later that week there was no opening for anyone else to run.
Inga will have a price on her head on Day One. She's DEFINITELY on the list.
No. She isn't. And neither are any of the other nardheads screaming about how Trump's going to come after them.
They're simply not that important.
Bill Clinton talked up McDonalds but he didn't actually show up.
He did last week. And the cashier thought he was Joe Biden. Ouch.

There has been no bigger allies to Iran, and by extension the russkis, than obambi, biden, harris and the rest of the Keystone Kops of Foggy Bottom.
Hillary and Mueller sold off Uranium One to Putin's oligarch pals (who returned the favor by massive funding of the Clinton Global Initiative Slush Fund and Haiti Child Sex Trafficking Op, obambi/biden/harris gave the greenlight to the russki's to move into Syria, take Crimea and move into Eastern Ukraine.....all the while the Ukrainians were sending millions into the coffers of the Biden Crime Family Shell Corporations....
.....and additionally funding the Iranians directly to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars (even pallets of untraceable small bills.... a couple billion of those!) which the Iranians used to fund their allies (and the allies of the New Soviet Democratical party) Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis!
This has been proven every single day across the nation as the New Soviet Democraticals rally in support of Hamas and against Israel.....whom the US State Dept despises with a white hot passion.
Yes LLR-democratical Rich, we already have so very many answers to so very many questions that you leftists have worked so very hard to finesse and lie about for decades.............so go ahead with you hilariously Harry Sisson-level Abacus Boy gaslighting which could only fool the average 3rd grader......the very ages you guys seek to force explicit porn upon as part of your continuing grooming policies.
Our caring posture for Ukraine is leaving the country a smoking ruin. Perhaps the U.S. should stop caring for foreigners.
I would have thought LLR-democratical Rich and the rest of the lefty idiot brigade would have commented on the completely corrupted DOJ/FBI's quiet "adjustment" of the crime stats to now properly reflect that crime has indeed increased over the last several years and not dropped as the leftists knowingly lied about forever....including false "fact checks" during debates.
Gospace, these people should at the very least apologize.

It seems clear the Kamala will refuse to be held accountable to anybody. If you wish to speak to her, it will be on her terms. Until that someone is a foreign adversary that won’t have to play her game.
"Odd that this "fact" is unknown to Wikipedia's article on Transnistria."
Wikipedia is not actually a source, but you are right. So, like I usually do with sources which steer me wrong, like Kiev sources regarding the war itself, which I took at face value early in the conflict since they seemed to be backed up by Western sources, but turned out so often to be wrong, I will knock the credibility of that source down a peg, or maybe I misheard, but I will remember it. You, on the other hand, keep repeating Ukrainian war propaganda even long past its sell-by date.
Starting over, start from scratch, reimagine, be unburdened by what has been, etc. are all phrases Harris has used wrt our institutions. Her values are all about breaking everything down and starting anew, including the US Constitution - ex. Illegal immigrants aren’t illegal. She is untethered from American reality. She even laments the all American McDonalds French fry.
A commenter asks: "Who does Trump and Washington care about more? Ukraine or Israel?"
One can only wonder why the United States of America was not even short-listed as a country this Democrat cares about. Nah! That's a rhetorical question. We know that the commenter cares more about Ukraine and Israel than he does the US, and assumes that we all feel the same way.

"Trump going to work at a McDonald's was disrespectful to McDonald's workers."
Simple projection by Walz, who plainly does not respect the workers at McDonalds and believes that the help should not be spoken to or acknowledged except when 100% necessary, I guess.
"The only daughter of former Republican President Gerald Ford has endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election."
Oh look, the daughter of the man who never got in by a vote either, but was awarded the position for his role in the coverup of the JFK assassination has come out for Kamala.
I bet every day they send a delegation to W's house, begging him not to endorse Kamala like his pappy, Dick Cheney did.
Don't worry though, Dick Cheney endorsed Kamala because he and his flower child daughter believe in world peace.

The people busting Trump for working at McDonalds are the same people that will shit on McDonalds because they don’t help raise the six figure incomes of workers with contracts tied to minimum wage.
Democrats are running an attractive candidate for Senate here and her commercials in Florida are hard-hitting attacks on Scott. She says he introduced a bill to “end Social Security” and “cut welfare” in ads that use AI to literally make Scott a snake slithering into The Senate. It’s vicious but humorous and like I said, she is a quite pleasant appearing lady who is far from the usual Karens the DNC usually run, not at all like the bug-eyed Leftist we so often see here.
@ Dixcus Actually, it just makes sure that your vote is in before Election Day, so that if there any shenanigans like messed-up printers in Arizona, power failures, etc., then your vote still gets counted.
@ Dixcus Also, note that I'm in Florida. We have voter ID laws in this state and the Dems weren't able to set up their cheating operations here in 2020.
Jim is correct. But the Biden crime family is deathly afraid of what would amount to a very ordinary investigation into foreign influence peddling similar to what they dished out to Bob Menendez. Especially bag men Jim and Hunter.
Dixcus, Florida has about a million more Republican registered voters than the Democrats. I will be voting in Bay County FL in the next few days and rather like how Florida operates elections currently. It has come a long way from the hanging chads days. You must present valid ID and have been registered to vote by October 7th to participate. Keep your conclusions on ballot stuffing directed at states where this is valid.
Narayanan, D.C. only has troves of IOUs. Not the same situation.
Dead Julius, you said you were a liberal somewhere upthread. Are you a classic liberal like Althouse or more of a modern-day libtard? There is nothing liberal about most of today's liberals.

Kamala Harris was admitted to law school under a program for students “who have experienced major life hurdles, such as educational disadvantage, economic hardship, or disability.”
Kamala Harris’s mother came from the highest caste in India, but by moving to the U.S. and Canada, obtaining a prestigious degree, marrying a future Stanford professor, having a successful career as a cancer researcher, and sending her daughter to private schools, her daughter became unusually disadvantaged?
Strange how that works.

@Yancey, over the course of the past year Althouse frequently opined that the Democrats nominating anyone other Harris instead of Biden would tear that party apart. I think she was right.

'Knocking the credibility of that source down a peg' hardly suffices: it was an obvious and stupid lie, and we need to know who told him. Everyone who pays any attention to world news at all knows that the Russians in Moldova, Ukraine, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Syria, and Wagnerites in Mali and Sudan, are NOT UN peacekeepers, never have been, and never will be (any more than the Ukrainians in Kursk oblast). They're invaders.
So who told you that, 'tim'? If I could post a picture here, I'd post the Twitter meme of the goose chasing someone saying "Who told you the Russians in Transnistria are UN peacekeepers? Who told you, motherfucker?"
By the way, only mediocre K-12 teachers tell you not to use Wikipedia as a source. Of course, it's not absolutely reliable, but neither are books, even books published by the most reputable publishers. We've all heard that the Romans sowed the ruins of Carthage with salt, and we can quote the august Cambridge Ancient History as a source, but those who have looked into it know that there is no evidence whatsoever that it happened, and that the distinguished professor of Ancient History who wrote that page of the CAH was confused, and put something Biblical into Roman history by mistake. You can in fact learn a great deal from Wikipedia if you read it critically. It's a Hell of a lot more reliable than ZeroHedge or Kim DotCom, both of whom 'tim in vermont' has quoted as authorities before.
Iran never had better friends in Washington than Valerie Jarrett, Barack Hussein Obama, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris.
LOL
Did you really think that one would work?
From Newsweek:
The McDonald's restaurant where Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump briefly worked on Sunday failed its last health inspection, documents show.
Trump, a big fan of McDonald's food and a self-professed germophobe, wore an apron over his shirt and tie but did not wear gloves or a hairnet during his visit, stating that his hands were "nice and clean." According to the Meidas Touch, he went straight to work without washing his hands.
Employees not washing their hands was one of the reasons that restaurant failed its most recent inspection.

It's more fun to imagine that it's the Battersea Power Station.
