“Political analyst Michael Barone, who is a reliable predictor of such things, confirms the Republican wave appears likely”

Reliable?? Barone predicted Mitt Romney to win more that 300 EVs against Obama in 2012.

[Susquehanna Patriot]

“Real Clear Politics’ latest projections on Saturday are that the Republicans will take 228 seats in the House of Representatives and 54 seats in the Senate.”

Those numbers don’t seem like much of a GOP wave. If those numbers are close to realization, then incumbency continues to rule the day.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

It really does look like there will be a red tsunami at the polls, even accounting for the Democrats' well-known election tricks...

Egad I hope so. Otherwise, we're done for.

[HandBasketHell]

If elections were fair, it would be a red blowout.

We're going to see if the tens of thousands of new republican poll watchers trained over the last two years is going to stop the cheating. This was the reason VA flipped from blue to red. I pray to God that it will be enough.

From the start, I said there would be no Red Wave. I still believe that to this day. Will the Republicans win both the house and senate, yes, I think this is very likely.

Wait, what you’re saying doesn’t make sense? It does, the difference is there will be considerably less cheating. There is an army of new poll watchers and lawyers keeping tabs on this election. New laws have been passed in several states. I also believe the Establishment Republicans and Democrats have come to an agreement on this one.

Establishment Republicans allowed the cheating to eliminate Trump and likely agreed to a midterm turnover with the Dems. I think voters have a lot less to say about elections than we hope.

Now I am not stupid enough to think the bad economy, wokeness, inflation, etc... did not help our cause. But I will make a bet now, if any battleground state has more total Republican Votes than Trump’s 2020 total, I will donate $100 to Freerepublic.

You might not think this bet is fair since one is a Presidential election. But if it is truly a Red Wave than turnout should be greater.

I think we will find that Republican turnout will be slightly greater than normal, but the wins are because the Democrat’s votes are suppressed because of less cheating.

I believe that Red Wave Announcement in the main stream media is a backhanded way of saying the election of 2020 was fair. And there will be a lot less cheating this election and truthfully that means the democrats can’t win.

Putting the "mar" in Marcheshvan for the [formerly] busy "election protectors":

The internet this week is full of election projections and Elon Musk's moves to clean up Twitter. Starting with the last item – Twitter -- he’s just discharged 2700 employees...

Hmmm, reminds me of the Book of Jonah ("dove"), 2700 letters.

"You are Jonah. The real you, for 'Jonah' -- in Kabbalistic parlance -- is another name for the soul. Hence, the story of Jonah is the story of a soul’s journey here on earth."

And now,

The commandment is found in Deuteronomy 22:6–7:

Should a bird's nest appear before you on the way, on any tree or on the earth, chicks or eggs, and the mother resting on the chicks or the eggs: You shall not take the mother with the offspring. You shall send away the mother, and take the offspring for yourself, so that it be good for you, and your days be long.

There's a great [PDF] article about this mitzvah as it relates to the Redemption and the Redeemers coming in alef-mem pairings.

Twitter [טוויטר] = 240 = doubt [ספק], Amalek [עמלק]. Famous for all the commentaries about that.

Amalek -- a name of unknown etymology, generating many a theory. I'm a simple meaning kind of person so it looks to me like an unholy people: עם לא קדוש

Decades ago, my first Bible included short, descriptive subheadings under the book titles. For some reason only one stuck in memory forever. Under the title for Habakkuk:

"From doubt to faith".

In the fullness of time, I had to smile, because I got the message:

Habakkuk and a smile --
Koach adds life.

Binary -- yet another simple reason for the Torah to begin with a big bet, a big house.
