Well, with Trump’s election win, I’m going to call that Civil War 2.0 doesn’t break out in 2024.  In fact, it seems like things have calmed down quite a bit post-election.  Not even any bit Antifa rioting.  Kind of strange,…   Read more»

Doubt it, though they are odd.  Have they ruled out that they might be commercial drones doing scanning for one reason or another?  Joe Rogan mentioned that guy who thought they could be government drones sniffing for gas or other…   Read more»

So Kari Lake lost her Senate race, but Republicans still have a 53-46 majority.  Also leading 212-203 in the House races, and by my count have a great chance of getting another seven seats, and possibly a handful of seats…   Read more»

Boom!  History is made!  It’s looking like he’ll end up with 312 electoral votes and the popular vote.  A resounding victory!

Wow – election looking really good right now!  Trump is currently at 214 electoral votes and is leading in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and even Wisconsin.  Optimistic.

Election day two days out.  Violence is predicted.  Trump still has a really good chance at winning this given polling in battleground states, but you can’t really be sure.  Stress levels increasing.

I would say that’s kind of a toss-up.  I’d probably just stick with Shakir and hope he has a good game.

Mathematically, I think it would neither help nor hurt you if you stack two players from the same team.  The only thing it changes is the risk/reward potential in any game.  Put in another way, if instead you started two…   Read more»

Now we’re two weeks out.  According to the polling average at Real Clear Politics, Harris is up by 0.9% vs. Trump.  What’s interesting, though, is that this average takes into account about a dozen polls that were conducted throughout October. …   Read more»

Well, it’s October 14 and I think early voting starts tomorrow.  Harris is still up by about 1.7% according to poll averages, but everything I hear suggests that the momentum is trending toward Trump.  I just hope that MAGA nation…   Read more»

I saw some chatter about this on social media and I think critical thinking needs to trump conspiratorial thinking. Setting aside the question of whether this could even be done, what would possibly be the motive to unleashing hurricanes on…   Read more»

Less than 30 days left.  What will happen?  Harris still leads in the national polls. I’ve been watching a Youtube channel by pollster Rasmussen.  It’s pretty interesting.  The guy basically says that a lot of the major pollsters are providing…   Read more»

If you had to draw a parallel between today and the U.S. Civil War, what year would our current political climate put is at?  1850?  1855?  1859?
Have we reached the point of Bleeding Kansas or not?

So we had Trump assassination attempt #2 a few days ago.  Not quite as close as #1, but it does get you wondering.  What’s also noteworthy is that the left seems so intent at opposing Trump that they’re basically blaming…   Read more»

You forgot to add one about governments trying to outlaw the use of cryptocurrencies…possibly as a way of introducing their own. Do you think governments would just so willingly give up control of money so easily?

My initial view was that Harris won the debate.  Yes, the moderators clearly aided her, and yes, her answers were evasive, but on style she did come off as relatively stable.  Trump, in contrast, was wrapped up in addressing irrelevant…   Read more»

It just amazes me how in my lifetime I have seen the American left move from a passionate love of free expression to a position of “censorship is good”.  My guess is that this change has followed the transformation of…   Read more»

Well we’re little more than two months from the election, and if you listen to the polls, we should expect President Kamala Harris in office by January 2025.  I really can’t tell what will happen at this point, but if…   Read more»
