In two weeks, we could have a constitutional crisis, resulting stock market crash, and violence

like we have never seen. One person, in particular, would be happy—-Vladimir Putin.

Intimidating Trump election flyers: "Your neighbors are watching... Family, friends, coworkers & neighbors will know

if you voted. Have you voted yet? Who you vote for is a secret. Whether or not you vote is public record." Includes a picture of an older woman holding a pair of binoculars, presumably a neighbor spying.

This was sent to my wife, who has never voted Republican, although her parents have (now deceased). This is one of six flyers (on card) received in the last week.

Is this effective or counter-productive for the Trump campaign?

Eight wierd things about the BS Fox News poll

1/ Trump has a two point lead nationally, while Harris has a six point lead in swing states, in other words the best recent swing states poll and the worst national poll.

2/ Even though Harris leads by six points in swing states, the Fox News Headline reads:

Fox News Poll: Trump ahead of Harris by 2 points nationally
These are Trump’s best numbers since Harris became the nominee

3/ In every national Fox News poll, Trump and Harris or Biden have all been at 49% give or take one point since May. This seems unlikely.

4/ Fox reports: "Trump’s advantage comes from a larger share in counties he won by more than 10 points in 2020 (64%-35%) than Harris has in counties Biden won by more than 10 points (58%-39%)." Sorry, but if you have data from 870 likely voters, how can you produce a national poll and useful numbers spread over seven states and spread down to county level?

5/ For no apparent reason, among 65 or older, Harris support dropped from 56% to 47% since last month.

6/ For no apparent reason, among white voters with college degrees, Harris support dropped from 55% to 46%

7/ Despite Trump's more extreme rhetoric and unhinged behavior, Fox News reports that, "for Trump, the good news is that he has improved on every issue and character trait since September."

8/ The day after this record six point swing states poll, 538 dropped Kamala Harris' chances of winning to 52%.

I received this despicable text message guised as an impartial election guide.

It claims Kamala Harris wants to mandate taking guns away. Trump doesn't. She wants to babies to be killed who had survived failed abortions. Trump doesn't. And many other lies that misrepresent Kamala Harris, sorry, I mean outright lie. I can only assume these texts are being sent to millions of voters and many voters will take these lies as fact. How can democracy survive when one side will do absolutely anything to devieve voters?

I keep getting texts with these kind of despicable lies: "The Biden-Harris administration took American tax dollars

intended for disaster relief, and they spent them on EBT cards and housing for illegal immigrants. Now, when a disaster hits American citizens in North Carolina, they have no resources to help. This is what corrupt and incompetent government looks like."

Yesterday from the same number (404) 721-4812:
"You must have free speech in order to have Democracy. Tim Walz and Kamala Harris have made it very clear that they will take away your right to free speech."

On Friday from the same number (404) 721-4812:
"Democrats have manipulated the justice system to punish political opponents. This manipulation costs lives. This isn't only about elections. It's life and death."

Please do what you want with this number: (404) 721-4812. It would be great to bombard this POS with spam!

How appropriate election day is November 5th. On that day in England, they burn effigies of their most infamous traitor

Of course, November 5th in England is celebrated as the day that Guido Fawkes’ ambitions to blow up the House of Lords came to end. That was back in 1605. He was caught red-handed, tortured, confessed, tried, and hanged, His treachery is remembered in England each November 5th on by burning effigies on “bonfire night.” Growing up in England, I have to say, it was always a lot of fun!

If there were a traitor in America with similar ambitions who was caught red-handed this November 5th…….well, I will just say that back then the Brits knew how to deal with traitors!
