Democrat strategist James Carville said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour” that after tonight’s presidential debate, former Vice President Joe Biden should “think long and hard whether they want to put the country through this again.”

Dave Wasserman: "If you were a voter who went in w/ concerns about Biden's age, he didn't do much to dispel them." "Sorry, but last night was not Biden at his sharpest. He's almost 78 and looked/sounded like it." Nate Silver: "Biden wasn't especially sharp"

The plan focuses on building on his achievements since 2016 to improve the lives of black Americans by creating more opportunity to participate in a growing economy and to achieve greater security in life and property. A poll by The Hill and HarrisX released almost a month ago, after the Republican convention, showed approval for Trump surging among blacks, to 24% -- triple the 8% he got in the 2016 election. A recent Washington Post/ABC poll and a recent Wall...

... Out of all the major political movements on Earth, none is more Orwellian than “social justice.” No other movement is so dedicated to achieving the opposite of what its slogans proclaim – or so aggressive in the warping of language. While every ideology is prone to a little doublethink, “social justice” is doublethink at its core. To see what I’m talking about, picture North Korean and Chinese communism. Their official story is that totalitarian rule by the Communist Party is wonderful – and they impose totalitarian rule by their respective Communist Parties. The official story of Islamic fundamentalism is...

The nation's largest gun-control group dodged guns entirely in a new swing state ad campaign that abandons the group's core issue to focus on health care. Documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund, supported in large part by donations from billionaire Michael Bloomberg, is funding ads that assail Republicans on health care rather than gun control. The ads target state-level politicians in Pennsylvania, Iowa, North Carolina, Arizona, and Minnesota. The postcard-style ads, copies of which are posted to the back end of the group's website, have nearly identical wording. In an ad against...

Mail-in voting has gotten off to a rocky start in NYC where election officials sent out nearly 100K absentee ballots with the wrong names & addresses printed on the return envelopes (THIS WEEK!). The deluge of faulty ballots, sent to voters across Brooklyn, could result in ballots being voided if voters sign their own name on return envelopes bearing different names. The NYC Board of Elections blamed the problem on the company hired to print and mail the ballots. (not themselves who FAILED to proof-read before sending)

“There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise: The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer; The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks; The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands; The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces” (Proverbs 30:24-28).

And the pace quickens... Here are the RETURNED Florida VBM numbers for 2020 (these are returned ballots but not yet counted). 2.5% of VBM ballots have been returned at this point. 2.2% of REP ballots have been returned and 2.9% of DEM ballots have been returned. 09/30/20: REPs - 36,075, DEMs - 70,349, lead of 34,274 for DEMs, 53.3% to 27.3% 09/29/20: REPs - 9,330, DEMs - 18,190, lead of 8,860 for DEMs, 53.5% to 27.5% 09/28/20: REPs - 2,272, DEMs - 3,555, lead of 1,283 for DEMs, 47.7% to 30.5% 09/27/20: REPs - 2,165, DEMs - 3,411, lead of...

Mac Davis, the writer of Elvis Presley's "In the Ghetto" and a former ACM Entertainer of the Year winner, has died. He was 78 years old.

A total of 568adults were interviewed by telephone nationwide by live interviewers calling both landline and cell phones. Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish. Interviews were conducted September 29, 2020. Among the entire sample, 39% described themselves as Democrats, 25% described themselves as Republicans, and 36% described themselves as independents or members of another party

BIDEN: “I’m not opposed to the Justice.” FACT: Biden and Harris have both publicly opposed Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court, despite glowing reviews from the legal community and her colleagues. Biden put out a statement in opposition to Judge Barrett’s nomination. Biden’s running mate, Kamala Harris, tweeted that she strongly opposed Judge Barrett’s nomination. BIDEN: “There’s a hundred million people with preexisting conditions and [their insurance will] be taken away as well.” FACT: Biden’s claim has been called “misleading,” and President Trump has said he will always protect Americans with pre-existing conditions. Just last week, President...

Progressive feminists claim that their movement empowers all women. And yet, at the same time, they are outraged by the suggestion that Amy Coney Barrett represents women – and conservative feminism.  On September 26, President Trump nominated Judge Barrett to the Supreme Court. The former Scalia clerk has distinguished herself by pursuing what she calls a “full life”: a career as a law professor and federal judge as well as a family with seven children. And yet, in response to the proposal of Judge Barrett as a feminist symbol, feminist media are unleashing a backlash on the accomplished nominee. Feminists shouldn’t...

“Civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness.”- Warner Herzog This is my summary of the debate: Biden: “Liar! Racist! c’mon man! Clown! Shut up man!” “Court packing? I’ll pass Chris” “Hunter? Let me tell you about my dead son Beau.” “Police defunding? I’ll pass Chris.” “Chris? Chris? A little help here?” Trump: Wallace: “Allow me to state my liberal position in the form of a question.” “So you will not accept the result of the fake ballot count Mr. President?” Media: “Trump refused to condemn White Supremacists. Again.” No winner...

As a seasoned sales trainer I have some suggestions to make to the president for the next debate. Sell benefits. Drive your points home succinctly. Let the listeners know exactly what the consequences are for voting for Biden. I liked that the president looked energetic and strong. I also liked that he was flushing out Biden regarding the things that his side will do to the country, but he didn't go far enough. He should have driven home why it would be devastating to a free country to have court packing on the Supreme Court. That should have been made...

IMHO, the most damage inflicted on Biden during the debate was self inflicted. He does not support Medicare for All, and he does not support the New Green Deal. Those two issues will drive away the Bernie Bros. Waiting on the news stories to start creeping out about the loonies leaving the Biden camp.

Many rational people who attempted to read Margaret Atwood's dystopian The Handmaid's Tale (1985) found it a big yawn. But the left loved it. So Hulu (a Disney company partly owned by Comcast), naturally made a mini-series of it. Now we have the left opining, on September 21, that people like Amy Barrett were the inspiration for that totalitarian nightmare. "Amy Coney Barrett, a favorite to be President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is affiliated with a type of Christian religious group that served as inspiration for Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel, The Handmaid's Tale."...

That was The Washington Post's headline about Ruth Bader Ginsburg.But when Justice Antonin Scalia died, the headline was, "Supreme Court conservative dismayed liberals."When the founder of ISIS was killed, the headline was: "Austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State, dies."But when President Donald Trump's brother died, the headline was, "younger brother of President Trump who filed lawsuit against niece, dies."At news conferences, Vice President Biden gets softball questions. After an article in The Atlantic claimed Trump called fallen military members "losers," one reporter asked Biden, "What does it...

A War Story for the Ages - During World War 2, the 7th BG's 9th Bomb Squadron was dispatched to destroy a railroad bridge at Pyinmana, about halfway between Rangoon and Mandalay and near two active enemy fighter bases. The formation was led by Col. Conrad F. Necrason, 7th BG commander. The B-24 on his right wing was piloted by 1st Lt. Lloyd Jensen whose copilot was 2d Lt. Owen J. Baggett. On that mission, Baggett was to earn a distinction believed to be unique in Air Force history. Before reaching Pyinmana, Burma, to destroy a bridge, the American B-24...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Lambs, Sheep, and Shepherds. Genesis 41 Joseph in Charge of Egypt 41 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt.” 42 Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in robes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck. 43 He had him ride in a chariot as his second-in-command,[b] and people shouted before him, “Make way[c]!” Thus he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt. 44 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph,...
