November 4, 2024

Trump is down to his last 4 rallies.

He's just now arriving on stage at the first of his last 4 rallies. Raleigh, North Carolina, followed by Reading, Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and — the last of the last, at 10:30 PM — in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

I expect to hear a lot of anticipatory nostalgia. He's done a hell of a lot of campaign rallies. No one had ever done so many and, probably, no one else ever will:


"I've gone 62 days without a day off. Every single day."

Kamala Harris seems to have 2 rallies planned: "Harris will spend the day in Pennsylvania and start the day in Scranton before delivering remarks in Allentown. Joined by her husband, First Gentlemen Doug Emhoff, she'll attend rallies and concerts in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia with Lady Gaga, Kate Perry, Ricky Martin, The Roots, and remarks by Oprah Winfrey." (Since when is Doug Emhoff called "First Gentlemen Doug Emhoff"?)

I visited the exhibit of the rail car Teddy Roosevelt used to campaign from in Manchester, Vermont. It was pretty cool. I think that he did a lot of rallies.

I might go back there explicitly to take a picture of myself pointing out into an imaginary crowd from the little balcony on the back of it, which you can stand on for the price of admission. It might make a good avatar if I can work out the logistics of the composition.

RCOCEAN II said...

Given Trump almost gave his life, and has "worked like a dog", and has taken on the Globalist establishment from Mitt Romney to Chuck Schumer to Mark Cuban, he should win the office purely on merit.

Kamala meanwhile, has hidden from the public, and except for the debate and one interview on Fox, has refuse to take any tough questions or speak with a script or submitted questions. She's not only least qualified POTUS in my lifetime, she's the laziest.

Unless you have DTS, you have to admire his spirit. The man is driven.

Mr Wibble said...

It should be "Second Gentleman".

Bob Boyd said...

"First Gentlemen Doug Emhoff"

So she's President now?

RCOCEAN II said...

The scheduled tell it all. Its Trump, almost alone, speaking. Meanwhile, Kamala is surrounded by moronic hollywood/TV stars and singers to fill up the time. And to get the crowds.

I wonder how many dummies will vote for Kamala because the mighty Oprah likes her?

RCOCEAN II said...

Trump is not only the most hard working campaigner for POTUS, he's by far the most courageous. Frankly if I was Billionaire, I would've quit after being shot in the head and missing death by 1 mm. Jumped on a plane to Switzerland and told the dumb 'muricans to enjoy their decline.

mindnumbrobot said...

Indeed. But the sad truth is she just may win, and if she does it will be because of two things: she's a woman and abortion. (Putting aside the real possibility of election shenanigans).

MadisonMan said...

My reaction. A little too anticipatory. Was Mrs. Pence ever called anything other than Mrs Pence, or Vice President Pence's wife? Never 'Second Lady' AFAIK.

Scott Patton said...

Repost(...There's still time!):
It's too late in the process anyway, but I'd like to see Trump hop around the stage to I'm Only Happy When It Rains (maybe with an Optimus painted silver on stage).

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

I pre-finished that sentence as "Trump is down in the polls".

Pretty sneaky sis.

Mr Wibble said...

I've seen "Second Lady" used in formal settings before.

doctrev said...

Donald Trump is a very old man, and the Democrats are almost uniformly backed by Hollywood celebrities.

Yet President Trump is the one who has the energy for high intensity rallies, multiple times a day across the battlegrounds. That's a level of personal energy which is hard for much younger men to match, and explodes the myth of Kamala being popular enough to get 80 gorillion votes or however many they print for her.

Dave Begley said...

Doug is the Second Gentleman a/k/a the guy who impregnated the nanny and slapped the girl friend around at Cannes.

A woman screamed and Trump's eyes went right to it. Didn't swing his head, just the eyes.

But now we are into the projection rule of propaganda, and we are trying to associate Trump with the hugely increased risk of nuclear war that Biden has blundered into thousands of miles from our own borders.

A good thing - as It is now a known fact that fluoride in the water supply can harm children.

He’s an amazing campaigner. Godspeed!

traditionalguy said...

Notice that Trump also has a dozen or so firey speakers proclaiming he is for people that fire up the crowds before he even appears.
It’s quite a show going on like a political Eras Tour that knocks the socks of an audience that includes TV and YouTube.

Big Mike said...

Th “Ferdinand Magellan” Presidential private railcar is on display down in Florida. Harry Truman used it for his “whistlestop” campaign during the 1948 Presidential election. The excerpt below is from the train car’s Wikipedia page:

During the campaign the car traveled more than 28,000 miles (45,000 km), and Truman gave almost 350 speeches from the rear platform.

This paper presents a systematic review of the literature concerning fluoride that was carried out to investigate whether fluoride exposure increases the risk of low intelligence quotient (IQ) in China over the past 20 years. MEDLINE, SCI, and CNKI search were organized for all documents published, in English and Chinese, between 1988 and 2008 using the following keywords: fluorosis, fluoride, intelligence, and IQ. Further search was undertaken in the website www.fluorideresearch.org because this is a professional website concerning research on fluoride. Sixteen case–control studies that assessed the development of low IQ in children who had been exposed to fluoride earlier in their life were included in this review. A qualitative review of the studies found a consistent and strong association between the exposure to fluoride and low IQ. The meta-analyses of the case–control studies estimated that the odds ratio of IQ in endemic fluoride areas compared with nonfluoride areas or slight fluoride areas. The summarized weighted mean difference is −4.97 (95%confidence interval [CI] = −5.58 to −4.36; p < 0.01) using a fixed-effect model and −5.03 (95%CI = −6.51 to 3.55; p < 0.01) using a random-effect model, which means that children who live in a fluorosis area have five times higher odds of developing low IQ than those who live in a nonfluorosis area or a slight fluorosis area.

No wonder Rich doesn't want to talk about this issue! More low IQ voters means more Democrats!

Just go on scholar.google.com and search on "fluoride" and "IQ." These are peer reviewed papers, lots of them, the effect is "well studied." At a minimum we need to talk about this.

Hassayamper said...

Whatever you think of Trump, can we all laugh at the fatuous dimwits who say things like "Trump is only doing this for himself and doesn't care about the country" ?

No other President in my lifetime has given up more for public service. It has cost him billions of dollars, multiple attempts on his life, and may end with him dying in prison after what is transparently a Stalinist show trial orchestrated by some of the most evil tyrants our country has ever seen.

I hope he does not make the mistake of Julius Caesar and treat these people with respect and mercy. It is time for Old Testament vengeance that will be in the history books ten thousand years from now. We will back him to the hilt.

Steve said...

Love him or hate him, Trump does know how to put on a show. For Harris, I don't think she has the personal charisma to stand next to all of those pop stars without diminishing herself. She doesn't have the "commands attention" vibe that Obama had when he was running. It enhanced Obama to stand next to those people, I would argue that it diminishes Harris when she tries the same thing. With Obama it was "see, these pop starts like me too". With Harri it''s "you should support Harris because we're pop stars". We'll find out if it works this week.

n.n said...

Including people who once upon a time adopted the Democratic label. Very Reaganesque.

mindnumbrobot said...

...concerts in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia with Lady Gaga, Kate Perry, Ricky Martin, The Roots, and remarks by Oprah Winfrey

I understand this helps draw a crowd, but how is this supposed to make Harris seem relatable? She spent so much time reciting that same "middle class family" crap, yet parading around these celebrities makes her appear like an out-of-touch elitist.

And since she was awarded the nomination Harris has not conducted a single press conference with the media.

Big Mike said...

@RCOCEAN, Harris has to hide from the public — Victor Davis Hansen claims her political positions are to the left of Bernie Sanders. Considering her expressed contempt for the First, Second, and Fourth Amendments I find that to be plausible.

planetgeo said...

I've pointed out previously that, regardless of how this election ends, Trump will go down in history as a genuine epic hero. Like Leonidas and the 300. Standing up against insurmountable odds. Alone. Repelling wave after wave of hysterical spurious lawfare, multiple impeachments, attempted assassinations. Laughing in the face of it all. Joined eventually by another superhero, Elon Musk.

What a great time to be alive and not just witness it, but to join the battle. And know that it doesn't end with him or with this election.

john mosby said...

Too bad the slapping thing came out after the conventions. Trump could have lured Doug over as his running mate. Motto: "TRUMP/EMHOFF: When You're Tired of Bitches Thinking They Can Do Whatever The Fuck They Want."

Would have won in a landslide.

Althouse writes, "Since when is Doug Emhoff called First Gentlemen Doug Emhoff?"

First Gentleman as compared to whom? Ed Gein?

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

True. Which candidate was alleged to have a stamina problem recently? I'm not seeing it.

Whiskeybum said...

That title is incorrect. The possible correct titles for Doug are “First Babysitter Schtooper” or “First Girlfriend Slapper”.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

Tim Tim Tim, you really do know better by now, not to bring facts to bear on a Bich-post. He's deathly allergic to facts. He had a bad reaction to them in 2016 and has lost seven IQ points every week since then. He's down to his last few firing synapses, man. Show some mercy.

tim maguire said...

He's THE First Gentleman. So there's that.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

Yes.

Quaestor said...

If the horrible Democrats (they come in three flavors -- absurd, atrocious, and horrible) are so keen to promote the husband, why isn't their candidate listed as Kamala Emhoff? Is it because the dreaded "gender gap" a stick invented by the left-wing media to flail the backs of any Republican, mostly the ones that win elections, has been discovered to actually exists, but it's upside down and fatal to Democrats? Is it a feeble bid to win men away from Trump at the last minute? Yes, it is, but the horribles, afflicted as they are with 4th-stage terminal hubris, think Doug Emhoff is someone the typical American male admires. The few undecided male voters remaining will drag themselves over red-hot coals to vote against the possibility of a First Gentlemen Doug Emhoff.

Big Mike said...

Technically, 7 mm, or just slightly over a quarter inch.

Recall that in 2016, the uber-schrecklich Frau Clinton, Archdeaconess of the Pit, never spoke of her husband as the First Gentleman. As foul as she she is in every respect, she wasn't stupid enough to sustain that fraud.

Yancey Ward said...

"First Gentleman Doug Emhoff" is reminiscent of Clinton's "Happy Birthday to this Future President" tweet from late in the 2016 race.

Kakistocracy said...

Some people understood Trump long ago. ("Jones" here is the great Quincy Jones.)

Jones knew Trump as a celebrity business mogul before he ran for president. "I used to hang out with (Trump).He's a crazy mother**cker. Limited mentally — a
megalomaniac, narcissistic. I can't stand him," Jones said.

loudogblog said...

"Since when is Doug Emhoff called "First Gentlemen Doug Emhoff"?"

Obviously that's wrong. (And probably wrong on purpose.)

"The second lady of the United States or second gentleman (SLOTUS or SGOTUS) is the informal title held by the spouse of the vice president of the United States, concurrent with the vice president's term of office."

Drago said...

Did Jones spend alot of time at the Diddy parties?

Skeptical Voter said...

The Second Gentleman has been known to slap his girlfriend for flirting with other men. If Kamala loses, will Dangerous Dougie Dish Out a flow for her flirtation with the Presidency? I dunno. But I do know that I would prefer that this is the last I hear of Emhoff. As far as being a gentleman goes, Douggie is distinctly low grade.

JK Brown said...

Watched the hosts of Triggernometry and guest Tyler Fischer talking about how after doing Rogan all they wanted was a pee, something to eat and to go to bed to rest up. "Wiped out", was their term.

Trump did the 3 hours without a break and flew right to a rally in Michigan.

How dare Trump do the opposite of what Hillary Clinton did in 2016, which was not campaign in the swing states!

For the record, Trump won North Carolina by only 1.4% in 2020- I don't know who you have been talking to or reading that thinks North Carolina was safely Trump but it certainly wasn't anyone who knows anything about politics.

Aggie said...

So.... What's the "Miss Manner's answer? Is Emhoff the slapper-humper a First Gentleman because the President is male, with a First Lady, leaving open the title of 'First Gentleman'? Or is he properly the Second Gentleman because he's a Vice-President's consort?

Quaestor said...

Mark writes, "All the talk was of North Carolina being safely Trump..."

And it is. Trump is there mainly to help Mark Robinson, a victim of the most vicious smear tactics I've ever seen against a Black man running for office.

Double entendres aside, if you really are a workaholic who loves to work it shows and you don't have to say it (or get your spouse to say it). Kamala hasn't been very diligent or studious or hard-working, so she has to say it (and have her husband say it).

I wouldn't cut Hillary Clinton any slack. If she had been elected president, her husband would always be called the ex-president or the former president, so no need for the "First Gentleman" nonsense.

Gee, here in little city Wisconsin, Aldi sells its plain white eggs at $2.79 - $3.19/dozen, gas at Citgo is $2.79/gal, and a studio apartment is $1100 + utilities and internet. Homeless folks congregate outside downtown, and at our public library, scare the senior citizens away, while the recently-arrived migrants, housed 8 to a 2-bedrm house and driving cars w/o registration, license or insurance (many recent arrests), use library's free international zoom call service. Though our rural county is known for its low percentage of low-income households, and very low 3.5% unemployment rate, our city's public school system's low-income "free-lunch" students compose 50% of total student-body. Doesn't look like local economy is so booming as to merit applause for Biden/Harris, nor to think things would improve with Harris/Walz.

"Pennsylvania county gives update on probe of suspicious applications, says 17 percent are fraudulent"

https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/lancaster-county-gives-update-suspicious-application-probe-says-17

That's just in one PA county. There is at least 5 PA counties that received a large dump of last minute registrations of which many are suspected to be fraudulent. But they wouldn't have done something like that in 2020. It was the most secure election ever. It's a good thing that Republicans are keeping a closer eye on these counties this election. Getting rid of Ronna Romney as head of the RNC was the best thing the GOP has done in years.

Gospace said...

Iodine, OTOH... I read a while back that one of the stans, I can't recall which one, started iodizing consumer salt, which had never been done before. The normal diet was iodine deficient. The premier, or president, or whatever, credits that one move with a 10 point IQ jump in the next generation. The cost?

57 grams of potassium iodate, costing about US$1.15 (in 2006), is required to iodise a ton (2,000 pounds) of salt. Optional additives include: Stabilizers such as dextrose (typically at about 0.04%) and sodium thiosulfate, which prevents potassium iodide from oxidizing and evaporating.
Seems health food fanatics, some of them anyway, have something against iodized salt. Sea salt or pink Himalayan salt is their preference. Sea salt has vary little iodine, Himalayan salt less then that to none. I keep both iodized and plain salt in the house. Iodized for the salt shakers for food, plain for everything else. Primarily but not just nasal irrigation.

Food additives are not thoroughly researched. Flour for commercial baking has to be iron enriched. Doing that one thing just about eliminated iron deficiency anemia in the young. 40 years later, diabetes rates and various kinds of cancer rates started increasing. All associated with too much iron... I give blood (or platelets) on a regular basis to keep my iron levels down.

Is your "suspicion" similar to your "suspicion" (about 17 name changes of yours ago) that X would collapse in the Fall of 2022?

People are more tired of the "Endless War Show" and the "WW3 Show."

I know that you don't get that, because you like these wars, you like sending the sons of working class men and women off to die for Biden's wealthy friends, but the rest of the country is tired of it.

I hear Hillary's glass ceiling is for sale.

All but forgotten. Imagine the endless media drumbeat if shots were fired at Kammy.

Trump looks visibly fatigued/low energy in front of his smaller -- listless crowds. It looks more like a farewell tour than a campaign event.

Drago's going to be spouting election fraud conspiracies for the next 8 years....

Looks like LLR-democratical Rich is pitching another fit over kamala-la-la-la's failed half-filled high school gymnasium "rally" today where the attendees, the few that were there, had to paid off and then bussed in!!!

LOL

Remember the massive rally the New Soviet Democraticals threw for Hillary! back in 2016....and now? kamala-la-la-la is left to get a snack at the high school gym snack window while Dougie the First Slapper looks around for his next victim......

Drago said...

Despite the hundreds of millions poured into the Clinton Global Initiative Slush Fund from russian oligarchs as a thank you to Hillary and the New Soviet Democraticals for selling off US uranium rights to Putin's pals, there apparently isn't enough cash on hand to convince the Javits Center to sell the ceiling to Hillary.

Drago said...

Its kind of a shame really that the New Soviet Democratical team had to sideline Stolen Valor / ChiCom buddy Walz and ship him back to Minnesota for small gatherings to keep him out of the public eye, but after that secretly revealing "gay" slur he launched at Elon what else could they do?

I see Rogan not only had Musk on tonite's podcast but, he also endorsed DJT!

Drago said...

Correct. Preference cascade.

However, we will see if Rogan's endorsement can electorally out perform all the dead people that "endorse" and "vote for" the dems.

Well, maybe not. Apparently, the USPS is routing some ballots around the normal processing system, that prints the postmark at about the same time it prints barcodes and routing information front and back (including date, time, mail center, machine#, batch#, and seq# w/I batch). It was never explained why they would do it. It only makes sense if batches of ballots are received at one time (which is, of course, illegal in most states). Otherwise, picking out ballots from the regular stream of letters is extremely inefficient.

Just got done voting in my little village on the Fox River. I thought I'd go early and avoid the lines. WRONG! Our polling place is a banquet hall and the line snaked all through it. It went pretty fast. About a half hour. ID was required and one lady, (isn't there always one), was loudly insisting on using a scanner that wasn't connected to her voting booth. You know the type. No matter how many ways you explain it they insist your wrong. Anyway, despite all that it went smoothly.

Trump is down to his last 4 rallies - before election day. Think he can pull a few tens of thousands to a rally after election day, no matter which way it goes? How about if the election remains undecided for more than 24 hours past election day?
