We kick off our 3rd election of tracking Florida early vote. The past 2 elections have seen REPs lead in vote-by-mail (VBM) returned ballots. This year because of the pandemic, it is expected DEMs will vote-by-mail in much larger numbers than previous elections. REPs need to keep the margin as close as possible and then win Florida on election day. Here are the RETURNED Florida VBM numbers for 2020 (these are returned ballots but not yet counted). <1% of VBM ballots have been returned at this point. <1% of REP ballots have been returned and <1% of DEM ballots have...

Have We Gone Crazy? This guy pretty much nails it. I never dreamed that I would have to face the prospect of not living in the United States of America, at least not the one I have known all my life. I have never wished to live anywhere else. This is my home and I was privileged to be born here. But today I woke up and as I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives...

. .. .FOOD FOR THOUGHT IF YOU DON’T YET LOVE THE BOOK OF RUTH, please consider this. A “type” is a symbol, where the author intended a character to represent a thing or person. We have three main characters: Naomi, Ruth and Boaz. What or whom does each symbolize?NAOMI: She was a Jew returning from exile in a foreign landRUTH: She was a Gentile, a non-Jew, who was grafted into Naomi's family by marriage and followed Naomi loyally to Israel, worked in Boaz's field (but never worked for him), became Boaz’s bride and bore him childrenBOAZ: He was rich and...

“This was the largest study to assess the risk of dangerous heart rhythms (arrhythmias) in COVID-19 patients treated with hydroxychloroquine,” said study author Dr. Alessio Gasperetti of Monzino Cardiology Centre, Milan, Italy and University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland. “In our cohort, there was a low rate of arrhythmias and none were associated with hydroxychloroquine.”

CLEVELAND (WJW)– In the midst of what seems to be a very divisive political season, the theft of political yard signs has some taking extreme measures to destroy and to protect them. Hinckley resident Barbara Cummings said she has never put political signs in her yard before, but this year, she decided to place two signs on her property supporting Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. One was stolen. She said she didn’t give it much thought until a couple of days later. She was startled by the lengths someone went through to destroy the other. “I was in the living...

For those keeping track, here's a list of Democratic Party "norms" for placing new justices on the Supreme Court of the United States, as they stand today: Norm No. 1: When Democrats are in charge of both the Senate and the White House, they are free to nominate and confirm any justice they please, as quickly as they please, as they did in the cases of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. Norm No. 2: When Democrats only run the White House, they are free to nominate any SCOTUS justice they please, and they also get...

Black Lives Matter rioters hopped in a car and chased down a white Prius who had attempted to maneuver through their protest — causing a car accident and physically attacking the driver.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Lambs, Sheep, and Shepherds. Genesis 37 Joseph Sold by His Brothers 12 Now his brothers had gone to graze their father’s flocks near Shechem, 13 and Israel said to Joseph, “As you know, your brothers are grazing the flocks near Shechem. Come, I am going to send you to them.” “Very well,” he replied. 14 So he said to him, “Go and see if all is well with your brothers and with the flocks, and bring word back to me.” Then he sent him off from the Valley of Hebron. When Joseph arrived at Shechem, 15 a...

Norms, we are told, matter. Violating norms, recklessly disregarding norms -- these are charges on which President Donald Trump is often arraigned in the court of public opinion. The indictment starts with his annoying habit of inventing insulting nicknames for his opponents and critics. You can add to the list as you will and perhaps come up with enough names for a 700-plus-word newspaper column. But Trump hasn't been the only one disregarding norms of late. Consider the question of whether and when the president and Senate should fill the Supreme Court seat vacated by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The...

This black Los Angeles police officer should get a medal for extreme patience and civility, for his unflinching repose in the face of this unrelenting stream of taunts and threats from Black Lives Matters anarchists late Wednesday.

“The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable . . . Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness” (Proverbs 25:3, 5).

"As everyone knows, I made it clear that my first choice for the Supreme Court will make history as the first African American woman justice." So Joe Biden promised. Since the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, however, Biden has refused to produce a list of Black female judges and scholars whom he would consider for the now-vacant seat. What is his problem? Donald Trump had no such reluctance. In 2016, he listed a slew of candidates from among whom he promised to pick his justices. True to his word, Trump elevated federal appellate court judges Neil Gorsuch and Brett...

A bombshell report reveals questionable financial transactions between Hunter Biden and his associates involving his role on the Board of the Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings. Biden, the son of Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden, engaged in “extensive and complex financial transactions” that were thoroughly analyzed by the Senate Homeland Security and Finance Committees. The report was released on Wednesday by Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA). It states that Hunter “formed significant and consistent financial relationships” with Mykola Zlochevsky, the founder of Burisma. Additionally, Biden and his business partner Devon...

At yesterday’s White House press briefing Brian Karem of Playboy (ed. Playboy? When did they become a “news” outlet?) asked the President “win, lose or draw in this election, will you commit here today for a peaceful transferal of power after the election?” President Trump deferred, again citing his concern that mail-in voting could lead to widespread voter fraud, and stating that he expected to win and therefore didn’t anticipate a transfer of power, just a continuation. The Democratic operatives with bullhorns – the journalists I mean, not the “protestors” – immediately got all wee-weed up (Barack’s term not...

It was already obvious comparing the two conventions: Even though the Democrats own the actors, they don’t own the true creative talent in Hollywood. That all seems to have crossed to the Republican side of the aisle. The Democrat convention was drab and oppressive; the Republican convention was bright and open. It’s the same thing with ads and memes. As far as I know, there are no incredible, knock-it-out of the park Democrat videos. The Republicans, though, are killing it. Here are four of the best. First, here’s an ad out of Texas showcasing six conservatives running for the House....

Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Lindsey Graham hinted more than a week ago that more bombshell information regarding the FBI’s handling of its probe into President Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia was about to be public. He was right because it was Graham’s committee that discovered the information. In a bombshell letter released a letter Thursday night by Graham’s committee from Justice Department Attorney General William Barr revealed a declassified summary from the bureau indicating that former British spy Christopher Steele’s primary sub-source in his debunked dossier was believed to be a Russian spy. Not only was the sub...
