This time, after I paged down a good bit and then paged back up, I was able to play it. Of course, it's a variation on a theme. The Fire Witch used it against the Black God in 2008, and Paul Shanklin did one of his parodies for Rush Limbaugh based on it. (In his version, she gets a wee-hours call about the latest woman Billy the Goat has been caught with, apparently a Thai prostitute without a green card. The ad was nothing that she had experience with such calls already.)

Today is voting day in Texas. This is for various primary candidates across the state. My wife and I just finished voting and I am not at all sure I like what I saw.
For Republicans in my area, there was only one minor runoff contest. I wonder how many people will take the trouble to vote for such a minor candidate?
On the other hand, there were several major runoffs for the Democratic Bolsheviks.
What bothered me was that there were a good number of people voting. This makes me ponder how many Democratic Bolsheviks have moved into my area over the last few years. I know the girl behind me was one as she was fat, sloppy (had on skin-tight black stretch pants), not very attractive and had orange hair which was partially shaved on one side.
On the other hand, I may have been wrong about the true number of voters as compared to previous elections as, due to the KFF panic, things were moving very slowly. One had to wait in a line and stand on x's every 6-8 feet apart. There were also more election monitors than normal, I guess because of the KFF.
Of course, one had to wear a mask in order to vote. I thought about it for a while before deciding to wear one when I entered the building. While waiting outside, I did not.

Out of curiosity, I checked the party affiliation of mayors of thirty-two large cities across the country. The mayor of one city, San Antonio was an Independent. The mayor of another city, Miami, was a Republican. All other mayors were Democratic Bolsheviks. Is anyone surprised?

They just reported a very interesting, and perhaps very significant, poll result in Pennslvania on The Five. It seems that despite the Yellow Jester's big lead in the polls, 57% of Pennsylvanians think their neighbors favor Trump.
What could make this important is that there is a theory among pollsters that when trying to trace controversial views, the best way to get an honest answer is to ask people what their neighbors think. If you favor Trump but don't want to tell some anonymous pollster who for all you know might doxx you for saying so, you might say that your neighbors favor him. It's a much safer statement, especially at a time when it really can be risky even for ordinary people to say various things.
This leads to some interesting thoughts. What would happen if the same question were asked in other swing states in which the Yellow Jester leads? And what would happen if we asked such a question about approval of a group such as Black Shakedowns Matter? Maybe the pollsters have a big surprise waiting for them come November. And if so, the Banshee Brigades will perhaps literally go insane over it.

My greatest fear for the November election is voter fraud. Vote-by-mail is probably more open to voter fraud than vote-by-computer.

This is why the Demagogues are so determined to push it -- and including ballot harvesting to make the fraud even easier and more extensive.
Meanwhile, it turns out that there is a Republican consultant involved in Russian collusion (or at least he's a registered lobbyist for them). He's John Weaver, a former John Kasich staffer -- and a leader in the anti-Trump Lincoln Project. They denounce Trump for being soft on Russia even as Weaver has been taking money to fight Trump's sanctions on Russia and some Russian leaders.
You just can't make up things like this. Fortunately, a group that is actively campaigning for Demagogues at all levels while claiming to be anti-Trump Republicans is obviously really Demagogues in disguise. (This is an old-fashioned term for RINOs, and in this case a more appropriate one.) The link is:

We have not heard from the MSM about the Trump ground game, but indications are that the get out the vote program is massive. I know fundraising is outstripping the democrat about 2-1 at least in in my circle people receive e-messages just about daily and e-mails every week. This is no time to take anything for granted but I will be surprised if this is even close after 2100 EDT. I hold by my prediction of Trump 350 plus or minus 20.

If Trump doesn't backtrack on his statements re work visas and a "path to citizenship" for DACA types, I am not sure this will be the case.
W lost a huge percentage of his support starting in 2005 and it fell off the cliff in 2006-2007. At the time, the media pretended that Bush's declining numbers were due to his handling of Katrina or anything but his open-borders policies. I kept telling people that the reason Bush's numbers had dropped was not because the Dems liked him less, rather because he had lost conservatives like me. And so it proved. Trump had better take note.

This letter, from one evangelical to another, is the best and most complete explanation as to why anyone who is not a leftist loon must vote for Trump, with all his faults, and not Biden on November 3rd. Why we must support TrumpI love how the writer points out that his friend completely ignores "policies" and only talks about Trump's character. I find this common among the left and RINOs. What is politics but public policies? Voters don't get the chance to pick the policies they desire and then transplant them into some perfect clone who is always polite and honest.
The writer didn't mention some other points which I find important like the possibility that Trump will go after the intelligence and diplomatic cabal which seditionously tried to unseat an elected president.
In Matthew 10:16, Jesus said to his apostles,
"I send you out like sheep among wolves; be wary as serpents, innocent as doves."
I don't see any admonition to be stupid or gullible in these words.

That was indeed an interesting article. Even Trump's moral lapses were probably less than the Fire Witch's in 2016, and little or no worse than the Yellow Jester's this year. And no one who accepts traditional morality or genuine freedom of religion should ever vote for any Demagogue today.

Trump speaking at Gettysburg is "supporting the Confederacy?" Dumb and DumberIf anyone knows a little bit of history, he will know that not only did Union Forces defeat the Confederate Forces at Gettysburg, but that the CSA loss at Gettysburg, along with the contemporaneous surrender of Vicksburg to Grant, broke the back of CSA resistance. The war went on for another 15 months, but from early July 1863, the final result was pretty clear. I give the CNN announcer credit for being stupid and illiterate, but Brinkley is just a scumbag.

I commented on the Town Hall article discussing this idiocy, and came up with 3 explanation for why this Accoster wannabe would say that. One was that someone at CNN had noticed all those Confederate memorials there, though of course there are also loads of Unionist memorials as well. Or maybe someone there relied on an alternate history for historical knowledge. (There are lots of alternate histories that involve Lee winning at Gettysburg.)
Or maybe the Accoster wannabe, like Adam Clymer, is a major league asshole.
One blogger suggested speaking at the Bloody Angle with its little copse of trees, the goal of Pickett's Charge and arguably the high-water mark of the Confederacy. Or -- with a view to another swing state -- he might speak in the East Cavalry Field where Custer led his brigade to block Stuart's flank attack with the cry of "Come on, you Wolverines!" (It was probably the high point of Custer's career, commanding a brigade of Michigan cavalry.)

An excellent article by Victor Davis Hanson on Trump. TrumpI have been telling people this for years, and those in government knew it. But it took Trump to do something about it.
In addition to this criminal cabal, we have the perpetual-war-party cabal made up of the military-industrial-intelligence-diplomatic-financial complex which has pissed away trillions in Middle-East wars from which the country has gained nothing. Zero, zip, nada!
Trump may be an asshole, a boor, an obnoxious bum, but he clearly loves America and he is a fighter. He cannot be bought and he cannot be broken monetarily. These are two very important characteristics.
I will take him over anything I have seen the Democratic Bolsheviks put up in decades. Seeing the insane way in which the RINOs and Never-Trumpers have conspired with the permanent state and Democratic Bolsheviks, I will take Trump a thousand times before anyone else in the present picture.
The time for subtlety is over. Reasoned political discourse does not work with villains, tyrants and mobs. Only force works.

This is why I am so worried about Mail-In-Vote fraud. It is real! What the man says about a small number of votes changing the outcome of local elections is true. I know. I started getting involved in local politics about 14 years ago. The first election I got involved with was that of my State Representative. The guy I supported was an outsider and real conservative, not your typical good-old-boy who talks conservative but milks the public once in office. As I recall, my guy had to go for a runoff as the inside boys ran a third candidate to split the vote. In the final contest my guy won by something like 30 votes. From that point onward, I have never missed a vote. And believe me when I say that the wins for these smaller offices add up and if one side gains enough of them, they effect how a state is run and that effects national elections. Of course we cheat with mail-in ballots-Democrat

I got a call today from someone who was calling for the Democrat Party to see if I had received my "Mail-In-Ballot" yet.
The poor woman started off sounding very nervous, stuttering a bit, but I was patient and polite and she seemed to get more comfortable the longer the conversation went on.
To my mind, the whole thing was a little strange as I am clearly listed as a Republican on the voter lists. For a Democrat to call me asking about my vote is unusual. I guess that is why she was so nervous at first. Maybe she was expecting me to lambast her.
In the end, I told the lady that I always voted in person.

I was just speaking to my friend in Taiwan about US politics. He follows things here very closely and is praying that Trump wins.
During our discussion, he mentioned that there is a certain area in China which is famous for producing political nik-naks for US political campaigns and politicians. Things like buttons, shirts, hats, banners, pens, etc. This type of specialization of certain products in certain areas is very common in China.
He mentioned that in 2016 Trump paraphernalia was somewhat more popular i.e. more was made for export to the USA, than Hillary paraphernalia. This should have been one indication that Hillary was not as far ahead as everyone said, at the time.
My friend advised me that this year, Trump paraphernalia is 20x more popular i.e. 20 x more produced, than Biden paraphernalia. This is a very positive sign for the Trump campaign.
In 2016, Trump's campaign was not nearly as large or organized as it is today. They are going to "Flood the zone" with all sorts of signs, advertising, etc.

In 1948, a fertilizer salesman offered supplies with either Truman's or Dewey's name on them. He found that the local farmers preferred the former despite Dewey's lead in the polls.

I am shocked, mind you, shocked that anyone would imply that our media is biased and promoting a democrat candidate in favor of a republican. That national polls would be used to "push" a particular political view rather than reporting on what is actually happening. The entire thing is to brand Trump as the source of all this chaos.
Could it be that the entire reason is to produce chaos and force our system to break down and replace it with a communist tyranny? The profit from Chicago failed to accomplish it and Hillary was just too--well--Hillary. The last four years are the ultimate run-up to a potential civil war.

This would be hilarious if Biden were not in such a bad state. I still think it unforgivable that the Democratic Bolsheviks have him as a candidate.
