Just had a Sam Brown door knocker to remind me to vote – this is the first time I’ve ever been so knocked by a GOP candidate. If Brown loses, it won’t be for lack of trying. Can he win? Polls say he’s still down…but the GOP is leading early vote by about 29,000 as of last night. Dems will naturally do all they can to erase that this weekend…and I do expect the GOP lead to drop a bit as Dems go flat out…but the bottom line is that the Dems need somewhere around a 30,000 early vote lead to have a State-wide shot (not a guarantee: just a shot – the chance that they won’t be overwhelmed by rurals). It simply isn’t looking good for them.
So, Harris pushed her Texas rally via an appearance by Beyonce’…and the placed was packed. Because, of course, they were expecting at least a bit of a show by Beyonce’…who ended up speaking for a couple minutes and then leaving. Look, I’m not sure that having a bazillionaire entertainer on your side is all that much an advantage to begin with…we’re worrying about the price of food. But to have her just come in and say “yay Kammie” is an insult…witnesses say there were some boos after Beyonce’ bailed out.
Early vote in Arizona can only be described as a Democrat collapse. Sure, both GOP and Dem overall votes are down from 2020 and everyone expected that – with Covid out of the picture, more people will vote on election day…but I’m seeing 16 point shifts to the GOP in early voting. This is catastrophic if it holds through to election day. The latest Dem Hopium is that huge numbers of the GOPers are actually voting Harris and Dems – who have been strong early voters – are now deciding to do election day. This is a theory and it is possible…and if so then we’re all going to be surprised. But I really don’t see any indication that Harris is securing a large number of GOPers nor that Dems are really just waiting until the 5th.
Last night in Game 1 of the World Series a lady wore a MAGA hat right behind home plate. First off: that takes guts. Los Angeles isn’t exactly Trump Country (though a ball game will have a higher percentage of MAGA than the general LA population). Secondly, Democrats melted down about it. They wanted that lady hounded out of the ball park! Meanwhile, Harris/Walz closing argument is that we need to end the politics of division…
Harris was invited on Rogan’s podcast and apparently demanded that certain topics be off limits. Trump went on their and chatted for hours without a note…last I checked, just on YouTube it was closing on 10 million views. I think we know who feels confident 10 days out.

The Tyrus/Trump interview is well worth 26 minutes of your time.
I’ll listen to it. In the meantime I listened to most of the Trump/Rogan interview while I was driving around today and was very impressed. Rogan is an excellent interviewer, which surprised me given the way he has come across the few times I have tried to listen to his show. And Trump was extremely impressive. Rogan was skillful in herding Trump back on track when necessary but also respected what Trump explained to him as “weaving” or appearing to wander off track verbally, explaining that it’s necessary to circle around get back to the subject or you can just “weave” off into nowhere. It was interesting to see that this is something he is aware of and uses as a tactic.
Trump illustrated a wide range of knowledge, including that of different qualities of concrete. He was occasionally blunt, as when he described people as “stupid”—including Kamala, who he repeatedly characterized as not being at all smart. He was brutal about Milley and Bolton, among a couple of others. It would have been nice to be able to take notes. Toward the end he seemed to be drifting a little, verbally, but then I started to realize that this was when Rogan was pressing him for answers on sensitive and possibly classified stuff, from details on the Kennedy assassination to what he knows about UFOs, and I think what at first appeared to be vagueness was just evasiveness, giving a couple of responses not quite related to the questions, and it sounded like Rogan picked up on because he shifted gears.
Aside from way too much time (IMO) talking about fights and fighters, I thought it was an extremely informative interview, in many ways, including showing a side of Trump that hasn’t really been on display.
BTW, some of my driving took me to Boulder and it was great to see so many street corners filled with Trump supporters, waving signs and flags. Many had signs saying “Honk if you support Trump” and there was a lot of honking. Keep in mind, Boulder is like the San Francisco of the Mountain West.
Wow. Talk about a brutal anti-Kamala ad. I wish this had come out weeks ago.
That is a devastating ad for Kamala and a warning to America. She is the System, and the System must be destroyed. Trump/Rogan was excellent, I agree and last look there wereover 26 million views. And tonight Trump is at Madison Square Garden!! Put the pedal to the metal and let’s win this thing.
Has anyone tried to explain why Trump speaking at Madison Square Garden makes him “like Hitler”? I guess it would just be ANOTHER example!
And they are both wearing ties…..
This is a story that deserves more attention. Just 90 miles off the coast of Key West, and we have a completely failed State, all due to Leftist policies.

You know, you see an ad like this and after you think “eeeuuuwwww” you have to take a moment to wonder just who in the Democrat Party thought this up, who thought it was a good enough idea to fund and film and release it, and who, exactly, is supposed to be influenced by it?
It’s like a 2024 political version of the French Resistance, but instead of sabotaging rail lines they are placing ads like this.
If Kamala were to go on Joe Rogan—so on target I had to wonder for a minute if it was true.
This is what I have been talking about—-hitting every bureaucrat who imposed penalties for refusing to take the jab with major financial consequences.
I hope this is the first of many, especially hospitals and airlines.
How many of us have heard of the PREP Act? It was tucked into a “defense bill” (another reason to outlaw omnibus bills) and reads: emphasis mine
The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) authorizes the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (Secretary) to issue a PREP Act declaration. The declaration provides immunity from liability (except for willful misconduct) for claims:
^ of loss caused, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from administration or use of countermeasures to diseases, threats and conditions
determined by the Secretary to constitute a present, or credible risk of a future public health emergency
^to entities and individuals involved in the development, manufacture, testing, distribution, administration, and use of such countermeasures
^A PREP Act declaration is specifically for the purpose of providing immunity from liability, and is different from, and not dependent on, other emergency declarations.
This would be a good time to stop and think about the immense power this grants to a political appointee (Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services) as well as the introduction of explicit interaction between government and industry (fascism).
This is an important backstory to this: emphasis mine
Amidst harrowing tales of devastating (but “very rare!”) vaccine injuries, the BBC reported that the UK’s vaccine compensation program, which is limited only to people who can convince doctors their injury was caused directly by the jab, and resulted in their being more than 60% disabled, has sixteen thousand pending claims — but has only paid out 180 so far.
Some injured citizens feel the UK program is somewhat arbitrary. In one example mentioned in the article, a woman was blinded in one eye, suffered profound psychological problems, and lost substantial motor coordination, but was told she wasn’t entitled to compensation since she was not over 60% disabled.
Well, she still has one eye, so.
Last year, after news broke that the UK’s program had only approved four claims in two years, the British government announced it was modernizing the office, which was previously chipping its records onto stone tablets. The result was incredible: another 76 claims were approved over the following 12-month period, an astonishing 2,000% increase.
At this modernization rate, they’ll work through the claims backlog sometime over the next 210 years, assuming the backlog doesn’t get any bigger.
Alas, we are fighting the very same battle here in the United States, in our case over the PREP Act’s embarrassing failures to compensate vaccine-injured folks.
And then there is other information most of us don’t know, or knew and forgot, or just failed to link to the massive Covid Panic.
…the government’s covid program felt new, but wasn’t actually entirely new. Fifty years ago it did something very similar during the swine flu vaccine campaign of 1976. The government unleashed a coercive, fear-based advertising campaign with the goal of vaccinating 80% of Americans. Unfortunately for the government, the campaign screeched to an abrupt halt after a bunch of folks were injured by Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Famously, Mike Wallace and 60 Minutes broke the failed vaccine story, and the government’s jab program rapidly collapsed in disgrace. Wallace harshly criticized the CDC and exposed government officials who pushed the swine flu jabs while minimizing the risks. At the time, CBS’s swine flu story was hailed as courageous investigative journalism and it cemented 60 Minutes’ place in history.
Jeff Childers has, as usual, packed an amazing amount of important information into yet another account of malfeasance/incompetence/abuse of power.
This is an area where RFK Jr. can be of immense help.

The thing is, there are Libs who will cite this as “proof that Trump supporters ADMIT to being Nazis !!” We already know they can’t tell when they are being ridiculed, even though it happens more and more as people start to catch on to the fact that they are batcrap crazy,
Waiting for Wisconsin officials to start their howls of outrage at implications that the state is not trying to run an honest, ethical and legitimate election, while this information has been available to them and gone unaddressed: (Important to note: These are not just ballots that have been sent out to everyone on the registration rolls, as some states do. These have been REQUESTED for delivery.)

An interesting comment, re: the Trump/Rogan interview:
And that’s how he negotiates and why he is so good at it
