A tsunami of Democrats seeking ballots through the mail in this pandemic-plagued presidential election year is upending the very dynamics of voting in Ohio. The impact of this ground-shaking change shows up in two major ways: The outcome of the presidential race in the bellwether Buckeye State appears even more unpredictable than usual. Ohio could be among the states where election fraud is alleged simply because the leader in the presidential vote could shift dramatically on election night and possibly shift back a week-and-a-half later. Before COVID-19 hit, more Ohio Republicans than Democrats voted by mail, generally speaking. Democrats favored...

Yesterday afternoon at a Long Island laundry mat, my daughter and I were busy doing a few loads. While I was transferring clothes into the dryer, the overhead big screen TV had CNN’s preview of the upcoming SCOTUS nomination. One of CNN’s panel began speaking about how he suspects Trump will not transition peaceably when Biden wins in November. I could not stand it any longer and with my outside talking voice, “Trump will not have to transfer power. He is going to kick Biden’s butt.” An elderly black lady loading clothes into her dryer asked me, “You think so?”...

Today is the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. The source is Leviticus, the third of the “Five Books of Moses” in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament.) The Books, also known as the Torah or Pentateuch, appear in the following order: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Leviticus, Chapter 16, establishes the Day of Atonement as ordained by God for the ancient Israelites to cleanse themselves of sin. The Almighty said to His people:"This shall be a statute forever for you: In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and do no...

Solid red state with an 'establishment' GOP representative. POTUS should endorse her Democrat opponent just b4 election day. With a GOP surge we can afford one loss for 2 years. Put a real scare into all the never-Trumpers. She had no business running in the Senate primary against an established GOP Senator while carpetbagging from Va. She wanted the easy way in without working hard-entitlement. Now the 'difficult' choice for her is to stay on as a future Speaker or move to the upper chamber when the old guy quits. I say nip it in the bud right in front...

For the extreme numbers nerds! Click through to the interactive predictor. (Probably not mobile friendly though) The election predictor was made using available CNN exit poll data. Adjusting the values therein will "trickle" down to individual states proportionally by that state's exit poll data. For example, if you predict that men will vote Trump by 5% more, the ratio will adjust proportionally according to how that particular state voted for Trump. The high third party prevalence made it tricky, so I provided three options to split third-party (3P) data. I don't recommend mixing crosstabs too much - the poll data...

Over the last few decades, Americans have enjoyed an ever-increasing love affair with the games of college and professional football. Eventually, the National Football League (NFL) surpassed Major League Baseball to become the country’s top sports attraction. Unfortunately, in recent years, political activism has interfered with Americans being able to enjoy the game. It started to move in a disturbing direction in 2016 when San Francisco Forty-Niners quarterback Colin Kaepernick decided to protest during the playing of the National Anthem before the start of each game.  His kneeling protest was adopted by other players, causing an uproar in the country....

Special Dispatch to the New-York Times. BALTIMORE, Wednesday, Sept. 26. Hon. WM. L. YANCEY, who is stumping in support of the Breckinridge ticket, spoke yesterday at Easton to a large and enthusiastic audience. Mr. YANCEY said he would have to ask their indulgence, on account of his broken voice and jaded condition -- the former having been injured by his constant efforts in behalf of BRECKINRIDGE. He however asked their attention while he endeavored to reason with them, as one frank and honest man should with another. Appealing to no prejudices or passions, but rather to their higher and better...

Though Spain’s last execution is often misremembered as that of handsome anarchist Salvador Puig Antich in 1974, that milestone actually occurred with the shooting of five anti-Franco terrorists in three different cities on September 27, 1975. It was an ugly coda to an ugly regime and a 40-year history of political killings. Gen. Francisco Franco had the previous year been forced by his failing health to hand over power, raising hopes for a democratic transition. But after surprisingly recovering, Franco surprisingly took back his strongman role — and anti-Franco revolutionary movements that had been biding their time greeted the return...

September 27 2020 Sunday of the Twenty-sixth Week in Ordinary Time Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 136 Reading 1 EZ 18:25-28 Thus says the LORD: You say, "The LORD's way is not fair!" Hear now, house of Israel: Is it my way that is unfair, or rather, are not your ways unfair? When someone virtuous turns away from virtue to commit iniquity, and dies, it is because of the iniquity he committed that he must die. But if he turns from the wickedness he has committed, he does what is right and just, he shall preserve his life; since...

Last year, students at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, Virginia, one of the nation’s most prestigious public schools, marked a map hanging in a hallway with their families’ far-flung places of origin: from Seoul to Beijing to Hyderabad. Twenty years ago, 70 percent of TJ students were white; today, 79 percent are minority, most from Asian immigrant families. TJ is a testament to American meritocracy’s melting pot—but last week, Fairfax County Public Schools Superintendent Scott Brabrand announced a plan to reduce the number of Asian students at this selective high school. In a four-hour online...

"With all prayer and petition pray at all times" (Eph. 6:18). Make prayer an ongoing part of your day. As important as prayer is to your Christian life, you might expect Paul to list it as another piece of spiritual armor, but he doesn't. Instead, he makes it all-pervasive by instructing us to pray at all times. That's our spiritual lifeline—the air our spirits breathe. The effectiveness of each piece of armor is directly related to the quality of our prayers. We see the importance of prayer throughout the New Testament. Jesus instructed His disciples to be on the alert...

Well, well, well, will we see this Tuesday night?

[Note: This piece is heavy on video content.] The Democrats are in a real quandary. They spent so much time and energy telegraphing their plans to steal the election via voter fraud after Election Day that the GOP has now geared up to effectively police and challenge those operations. As we have seen this past week, the Department of Justice is already discovering and intercepting those efforts. What happened here is that the Democrats had assumed they would be able to replicate the “vote harvesting” fraud that allowed them to flip 7 Republican congressional seats in California in 2018 all...

Biden made the comment comparing Trump to Goebbels in an interview on MSNBC with Stephanie Ruhle that aired Saturday in which Ruhle served up a softball question on Trump accusing Biden of socialism. Biden said, “He’s sort of like Goebbels. You say the lie long enough, keep repeating it, repeating it, repeating it, it becomes common knowledge, they think.” Biden followed that foul insult by saying Trump is “more Castro than Churchill.” Ruhle tried hard to suppress a smile as Biden was smearing Trump, but finally gave in and flashed a broad grin.

As we have always told you, everything in bible prophecy relates to Israel in general and to Jerusalem and the Temple Mount in particular. Jerusalem in the crown jewel because it is the place where God has placed His Name, so naturally, it is also the place that Satan wants to take for his own. Luke 21 shows us the time when he will indeed get his hands on it for a little while, and the Abraham Accords is what’s going to make all that possible. “But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I...

So now billboards are going up in Canada and in places like Colorado and Minnesota in the United States from a group called ‘One Planet One Child’, a radical Leftist group if there ever was one. Interesting thing, when you go to their About Us section on the web site, the first link you see is for something called ‘You Had Me At Childfree’. Their real agenda comes flooding to the forefront, these people are anti-child not simply one child, as all dictators are. The Liberal Left is always crying about ‘human rights’ and ‘reproductive freedom’, but nothing could be...

Left-wing author Ibram Kendi, author of the book "How to Be An Antiracist," triggered a tsunami of backlash on Saturday after suggesting that Amy Coney Barrett adopted to Haitian children to shield herself from accusations of racism. What did Kendi say? Kendi responded to a purported picture of Barrett with her two adopted Haitian children. The photo, however, was not of Barrett. Some White colonizers "adopted" Black children. They "civilized" these "savage" children in the "superior" ways of White people, while using them as props in their lifelong pictures of denial, while cutting the biological parents of these children out...

---SNIP--- I actually consider it a point of personal pride that I’m recognized for being among the first Republicans to reject Donald Trump. It was way back in December 2015. I told NBC’s Chuck Todd that day that I could never support Trump. I said then that he was an embarrassment to the Republican Party and our country. I said he belittles, demeans, and ridicules people who disagree with him, and that I’ve never thought that loud, obnoxious, and simpleminded solutions to complex problems are the kind of qualities we want in a president. I believe that earned me my...

Let me see if I’ve got this right: the party that has spent the past 12 years haranguing everyone about race and “a woman’s right to choose”  is about to embark on the arduous task of disqualifying a woman nominated to the Supreme Court…for choosing life and adopting 2 black children from Haitian orphanages? Yes, it appears I have it exactly right.    It’s both odd and concerning how “free speech” and “tolerance” have devolved in America to the point where only certain viewpoints are deemed worthy of protection and then only if held by the “right” people.  Mixed race...
