Rest in Peace sir.

Maybe they are so far ahead in NC that they are switching the funds to win Florida.

Any excuses to give ?? What the Hell Is Going on in Michigan? Stephen Green "Vote early and often" is one of those election campaign jokes politicians like to indulge in, but one Michigan voter ID has voted 29 times so far — and one expert just found 164,568 little anomalies. Michigan constitutional attorney Matthew S. DePerno claims to have reviewed the state's Qualified Voter File (QVF) that's current as of Tuesday and found one voter ID number attached to 18 different street addresses (that's by my count) listed 29 times under "VOTE RECORDED." All the addresses listed are in Detroit, surprising absolutely no one. It gets pretty strange after that, as famed newsman Les Nessman once reported. An X user named Andrew Fisher saved Yours Truly the time and effort and looked up some of those addresses on Google Maps. Here's what he found, complete with Google Street View photos. "This 'Operation Get Down' is a halfway house offering substance abuse services," MЯ. Ж tweeted. "I wonder if any of the residents even know they voted." Probably not because, as another X user learned, Operation Get Down "closed down in Nov 2023 and put the building up for sale." The Detroit Free Press reported the news in December. https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2024/10/30/what-the-hell-is-going-on-in-michigan-n4933794

More "garbage" news. . . . . . . New: Buzz Aldrin Endorses Trump Politico 12:00 PM | October 30, 2024 Famed Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin on Wednesday endorsed Donald Trump for president, citing Trump’s prioritization of space exploration while he was in office. “Over time, I have seen our government’s approach to space wax and wane,” Aldrin wrote in a statement. “But under the first Trump Administration, I was impressed to see how human space exploration was elevated as a policy of high importance again.” Aldrin endorsed Trump in 2016 too, as Politico notes. Still an interesting counter to the "garbage" remark made by Biden yesterday. https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/10/30/2024-elections-live-coverage-updates-analysis/buzz-aldrin-endorses-trump-00186248

Oh, to be a fly on the wall at Kamala Harris HQ today after the big "unity" speech she gave at the Ellipse Tuesday night was effectively sabotaged by President Joe Biden calling supporters of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump "garbage" during a "Voto Latino" call designed to shore up the Hispanic vote. I say "sabotage" because that's really what it looks like for those of us sitting in the cheap seats watching all this play out. As my colleague Ward Clark once observed, "The Bidens do seem to be trodding on Harris' toes, and it's really looking deliberate." The key word there is "Bidens" (with an "s") because we know if there was indeed a plan afoot that Joe wouldn't be the one orchestrating it. It would be his handler-in-chief, Jill Biden, who as we've learned from past reports was not supportive of Biden choosing Harris to be his running mate and who is said to have a tense relationship with the vice president in part because of that. https://redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2024/10/30/an-apb-is-put-out-for-dr-jill-after-joe-bidens-latest-kamala-harris-sabotage-n2181284

The Coming Storm October 29, 2024 We are on the precipice of a disaster. There are several reasons for my belief. The first is our voting system. Our system with the proliferation of mail-in balloting and lack of auditable controls seems purpose-designed to breed mistrust and corruption. Also while we talk about how voting now occurs before Election Day, we do not discuss the implications that in many jurisdictions it takes days if not weeks to count the ballots, which presents opportunities for mischief. The second is the level of rhetoric from the Left over the past week, call it the “Hitler Gambit.” There has been a lot of criticism from the Right regarding Jeffrey Goldberg’s article in The Atlantic “revealing” Trump’s affinity for Hitler. The critics says that the revelations are old and thinly sourced. The critics miss the point, which is that Goldberg’s article wasn’t so much meant to be an “October Surprise” as it was to give the Democrats the news hook they needed to launch their final argument that Trump is a fascist. The Goldberg article was merely the starter’s gun for that final argument. Keep in mind that the owner of The Atlantic is Kamala’s “first friend.” On the same day that Goldberg’s article dropped, as if it was a coincidence, we had both the White House confirming that Biden believes Trump is a fascist, and Kamala remarking that Trump was a fascist and, given that and his affinity for Hitler, could not ever be trusted to return to the White House. Just in case anyone missed the point, Kamala delivered her remarks not as a presidential candidate with an off-the-cuff comment, but in her official capacity with a prepared statement in front of the Vice President’s Residence at the U.S. Naval Observatory. {snip} The third is the Democrats’ declining belief in our Constitution. Take a step back and you see that every warning light is flashing red. Each of my three reasons has the potential to interact with the other ones synergistically. Not only will there be a delay in declaring a winner in those jurisdictions that will take many days to count ballots, but the vague and sloppy system of mail-in balloting almost guarantees lengthy court battles by one party or another. If you think things are testy now, wait until you get to a post-Election Day environment where all of that energy is focused on specific operational and legal issues stemming from the flawed system I described above. There’s been a lot of head scratching on the Right concerning what the Democrats are trying to accomplish with their “Hitler Talk.” In reality the Right is missing the point of the exercise: it isn’t to convince the undecided but rather to set the framework for the post-Election Day battle. While Republicans and the Right in general see an election as being composed of discrete phases of before and after, the Democrats and the Left see it as an integrated whole and their communications strategy now reflects that view. That’s not to say there aren’t immediate benefits for the Democrats with their “Hitler Talk.” It could strengthen their base and prevent defections. But the primary target is the post-election. Given the existing conditions of the undecided nature of the post-election environment, a narrowing of the stakes for victory and scope onto a select number of actions, and the apocalyptic rhetoric of the Democrats, you will have the potential for a catastrophe. If you can claim that you are trying to stop Hitler, then you have permission to let your freak flag fly, and there will be plenty of opportunities to do it. The third reason acts as the removal of a boundary for action. If the electoral system provides the terrain, the Hitler talk provides the motive. Then, the third reason — the decline of belief among Democrats in the Constitution — increases the scope of possible action by the Democrats. When I state this situation to friends, their primary objection to it is that it is too fantastic; what course of action would the Democrats actually take that would amount to more of a Jamie Raskin-led hissy fit? I find this objection to be a weak reed, and state that the experience of the past 40 years — from the sudden collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, to the various color revolutions — has shown that my friends’ sentiments lack a certain degree of imagination given underlying realities. Post-election uncertainty, propaganda of the threat of a dark fascist night by an illegitimate insurrectionist and convicted felon, and the lack of belief in the Constitution. You have the predicate for action. Nothing is certain. This particular result could be avoided. The Democrats may simply be bluffing playing the “Trump overturning democracy card.” The Democrats may collapse over the next week. The post-election environment, while uncertain, may tilt too strongly in Trump’s favor with, say, wins in places like Virginia and New Hampshire. Accordingly the Democrats may not be able to pull off a 2024-version of “Game 3.” We’ll get some rioting, a bunch of Jamie Raskin-led no votes on Jan. 6, but in general the lines will hold. However that seems to be more than a wish and prayer. Sometimes you’ve just got to take what people are telling you as the gospel truth. https://chicagoboyz.net/archives/72176.html

So THIS is your excuse for blaming "right-wing" extremists. You COULD have waited until you knew. Funny how THAT works. .

Of course Roundy was wrong, we'd expect nothing less from him. ‘Free Gaza’ message linked to ballot box attacks in Washington and Oregon: source Ballot boxes in Oregon and Washington may have been set on fire by an anti-Israel protester, as investigators found a note that said “ALL DROP BOXES WILL BURN. FREE GAZA,” The Post has learned. Between 3 and 4 a.m. on Monday, fires caused by incendiary devices were discovered in ballot boxes in Vancouver, Wash. and neighboring Portland, Oregon. A built-in fire suppressant stopped most of the flames at the Portland location, but hundreds of ballots were destroyed at the drop box at Fisher’s Landing Transit Center in Vancouver. But according to an election official with knowledge but not authorized to speak on record, a political letter was discovered in a ballot box at the Vancouver Mall Parking lot location just a few hours after the fires were put out. According to the source, a white piece of paper folded in half had been deposited in the box. It is not confirmed if the message came from the suspect involved in the arson fires, but the New York Times reports that all three incendiary devices themselves had the message “Free Gaza” written on them https://nypost.com/2024/10/29/us-news/free-gaza-message-linked-to-ballot-box-attacks-in-washington-and-oregon-source/ https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/29/us/ballot-box-fires-oregon-washington-gaza.html
