@thechrisbuskirkTrump & Biden TIED in new Wisconsin poll. Biden loses 3 points of support since same poll at end of September.

Today's Biden vs. Trump poll finds support for President Donald Trump hitting a new high, just a hair below his 2016 vote share. The race against former Vice President Joe Biden appears to have gotten much tighter since the Oct. 12 launch of IBD/TIPP's daily presidential poll. Republican voters have come home, while Democrats have strayed, but Biden retains an edge among independent voters, IBD/TIPP shows. The latest Biden vs. Trump poll update shows the Democratic challenger leading the Republican incumbent by 2.5 points, 48.5%-46%, in a four-way presidential poll of likely voters. Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgensen has the support...

The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld a Republican-backed law barring auditors from fixing errors in absentee ballot applications on behalf of voters. In the 4-3 ruling, the court barred county auditors from correcting incomplete applications based on state voter databases, according to The Associated Press. While auditors were permitted to make the changes before the new law, they will now be required to send them back to applicants to correct. “We are not persuaded the statute imposes a significant burden on absentee voters. It is not a direct burden on voting itself,” the four justices wrote. They wrote that only...

HARRISBURG — Negotiations between the Republican-led legislature and Gov. Tom Wolf to let counties begin opening mail ballots in Pennsylvania before Election Day appeared to collapse Wednesday, setting up a potential nightmare scenario that some fear could leaving the state counting millions of ballots for days after Nov. 3. The Democratic governor and legislative leaders had been negotiating behind closed doors as recently as Tuesday to change the election code after months of inaction. But the General Assembly adjourned Wednesday and is not scheduled to reconvene until Nov. 10, a week after the election. In adjourning, Republicans turned away pleas...

Jon Passantino @passantino Mitt Romney tells @mkraju he has already voted in this year's election: “I did not vote for President Trump.” He wouldn’t say if he voted for Biden or wrote someone else in. 1:01 PM · Oct 21, 2020

Our earthly duties as Christ's ETERNAL ambassadors for time (2 Cor. 5:17-21) and the ETERNAL Gospel are to be our first and chief call and duty; and all other interests in this vapor called "life" and "time" an ETERNAL second (1 Cor. 2:1, Gal. 2:20, Col. 3:1-4). As blood brought redeemed believers in Jesus Christ living in America; we are called and have a Divine obligation to be salt and light for our Lord Jesus and His soon-coming Kingdom (Matt. 5:13-16, 6:33)! This subject is well spoken of in this video by Shane Idlemen which I wanted to share with...

Hollywood actor Sam Elliott has lent his deep, resonant voice to the Joe Biden campaign, narrating a new campaign ad that calls for Americans to unite behind the Democratic presidential nominee. “There is only one America — no Democratic rivers, no Republican mountains,” Elliott says in the commercial. “Just this great land and all that’s possible on it, with a fresh start. Cures we can find, futures we can shape. Work to reward, dignity to protect. There is so much we can do if we choose to take on problems and not each other, and choose a president who brings...

If this is true President Trump needs to pull out of Thursday’s debate — but wait until the last minute to do so. According to Jason Miller, a Trump 2020 Senior Advisor, the far left debate commission is now banning ALL QUESTIONS on Joe Biden’s multi-million dollar foreign corruption and money laundering operations!Earlier this week the debate commission unilaterally decided to cut the mics during the debate. And before that the debate commission decided to change the topic in the final debate away from foreign policy so Joe Biden will not have to defend his tragic record and pay-for-play schemes....

On Tuesday night The New York Times quickly released their garbage hit piece on President Trump in an attempt to counter the Biden family crack cocaine and child rape scandal from taking over the airwaves. In the anti-Trump hit piece the NY Times claims — through stolen tax information — that President Trump paid $188,561 in taxes in China between 2013 and 2015. This made headlines at the New York Times while Hunter Biden’s $1.5 billion pay-for-play scandal with China is ignored. On Wednesday morning Twitter proved once again that they are a criminal organization. Twitter allowed the NY Times...

snip.....QAnon followers also believe there is a "Deep State" working against the president. The movement originated on online message board 4chan when an individual identifying themselves as "Q" claimed to be a government insider sharing information about what was secretly happening in the U.S. government and claiming prominent Democrats, such as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, will be sent to Guantanamo Bay. snip.....Actor Bette Midler suggested to her two million Twitter followers that the timing was "convenient" because it meant Trump might not have to attend debates. Meanwhile, some QAnon believers thought Trump's announcement signaled the imminent arrest of...

Donald Trump will probably lose the election. As I write, The Economist says he has only an 8 percent chance of winning. Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight, which came closest to predicting Trump's win in 2016 and has the best track record among modelers, gives Trump just a 12 percent chance. But people who "put money where their mouths are" give Trump a better chance: 37 percent. That's according to roughly that often., the website I created with Maxim Lott. It tracks multiple betting sites around the world. Though 61 to 37 percent seems like a giant lead for Joe Biden, 37...

Dilbert cartoonist-turned-political Scott Adams stunned MSNBC viewers on Monday by predicting, on the air, that President Donald Trump would win re-election. LinkOn Tuesday morning, Adams had practical advice for Trump: announce a “road map” towards making cheap home tests for coronavirus universally available. Adams noted an article at Reason.com explaining that technology for cheap coronavirus home testing is being developed. Reason’s Ronald Bailey estimated that every American could eventually be tested, every week, at a total annual cost of $20 billion: It would cost around $20 billion to provide 330 million Americans with rapid at-home test kits costing $1 each...

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden praised the Commission on Presidential Debates' decision to mute the candidates' microphones while the other is speaking at the upcoming debate in Nashville, saying the forums need more limitations. "I think it's a good idea," Biden told Milwaukee's ABC affiliate WISN on Tuesday. "I think there should be more limitations on us not interrupting one another." "If you noticed last time, according to Chris Wallace, he interrupted the president and me 148 times," Biden added. "I hope [Trump] is going to come prepared to talk about what he's for, but my guess is, he's kind...

VIDEO Okay, I am now convinced that the New York Times is NOT a partisan newspaper. How do I know this? Because a member of the New York Times Editorial Board told us so therefore it MUST be true. I am so relieved at finding out that the New York Times is as nonpartisan as ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, Facebook, Twitter, Google, and YouTube.

Facebook and Twitter's frantic attempts to stop the spread of the New York Post's Hunter Biden story didn't prevent the article from becoming the top story about the election on those platforms last week, according to data from NewsWhip. Why it matters: The data shows that even swift, aggressive content suppression may not be swift or aggressive enough to keep down a story with as much White House backing and partisan fuel as this one. By the numbers: The Post's story generated 2.59m interactions (likes, comments, shares) on Facebook and Twitter last week — more than double the next biggest...

The package of criminal justice reform proposals endorsed by President Donald Trump is not "soft" on crime. It's tough on injustice. And it's about time. Known as the "First Step Act," the legislation confronts the Titanic failure of the federal government's trillion-dollar war on drugs by reforming mandatory minimum sentences, rectifying unscientifically grounded disparities in criminal penalties for crack vs. powder cocaine users, and tackling recidivism among federal inmates through risk assessment, earned-time credit incentive structures, re-entry programs and transitional housing. There's nothing radical about giving law-breakers who served their time an opportunity to turn their lives around and avoid...

Charlamagne: "To answer your question more deeply, when it comes to black people you see who maybe are showing support for Trump. I think it’s because Trump is talking to young black male voters, he’s directing ads toward them. They are a group that never get courted. Black people don’t get courted as a whole but the old Democratic regime speaks to old black men and they think everybody else is going to fall in line. Black women are going to show up regardless. They speak to older black men and think the rest of us all speak the same...

Rudy Giuliani, one of President Trump's private attorneys, has reported to Delaware police concerns that materials on a laptop purportedly tied to Hunter Biden contained evidence of possible child endangerment. Giuliani, a former U.S. attorney and New York City mayor, confirmed Tuesday night he went Monday to a local police department in Wilmington to report his concerns of children endangerment and sexual exploitation. Giuliani told Just the News that former New York Police Department commissioner Bernard Kerik joined him when he delivered photographs and text messages to the New Castle County Police Department. "I told them other details about what...
