With 1,624,770 ballots cast, the GOP leads the early vote in Wisconsin. 43% GOP to 35% DEM. About 60% of the estimated total votes for 2020 have been cast. In Wisconsin, you can register and vote the same day, so this is still a close race. The following data is derived from actual ballots cast. SEE DATA....

This year the trick is on all of us, in the form of “two-weeks-to-flatten-the-curve” turning into a year-long treat for authoritarian bureaucrats and other “experts.” Thus the dilemma for anyone hosting trick-or-treaters tonight: is that cadaver-costumed kid trying to look like Joe Biden on purpose or . . . is that Joe Biden? Very hard to tell this year. And if you think people out after dark in costumes and masks are scary tonight, just wait until Tuesday night when the Trump vote starts to roll up.

"Blessed is the righteous judge." Someone had painted this on the side of a building in lower Manhattan. It wasn't the first of my encounters with memorials to Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I passed this one, though, the night after the Girl Scouts were pressured into taking back their congratulations to Amy Coney Barrett for succeeding the late Supreme Court justice on the court. My surprise about the Girl Scouts was that anyone there at this point would even think to acknowledge Barrett. I've been writing for 20 years about the politics that have crept into the Girl Scouts organization, so...

Sir Sean Connery has died at the age of 90, his family has said. The Scottish actor was best known for his portrayal of James Bond, being the first to bring the role to the big screen and appearing in seven of the spy thrillers. Sir Sean died peacefully in his sleep, while in the Bahamas, having been "unwell for some time", his son said.

A few weeks after the National Information Network (intranet) plan was confirmed by Iran’s Supreme Council of Cyberspace, parts of it were published by the state-run Mehr News Agency. The National Information Network’s “master engineering design” was approved on September 15 by Iran’s Supreme Council of Cyberspace (ISCC) after it was confirmed by the regime’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. What is the National Information Network? The Iranian regime has spent years pursuing a plan to build a domestic intranet separate from the global internet for security and censorship purposes called the “National Network.” Proposed in 2005, the National Information Network...

Republicans cut a net 15K votes yesterday from the Democrats' early vote lead, which has now fallen to 255K. Dems---1,633,774 (+77K) (37.60% of all early votes) Reps--1,378,537 (+92K) (31.72%) Unas--1,310,505 (+89K) (30.16%) Current Democrat lead is 255K (Dems held a 310K vote lead at the end of EV in 2016 and lost NC by 3.8 points). However, a higher % of EV has been cast this year because of China Virus fear, which means it would be nice for this 255K Democrat lead to drop more. Black share of the EV electorate fell for the 6th straight day from 19.55%...

California governor Gavin Newsom's recent ridiculous Thanksgiving edicts call for gatherings to be restricted to only three households and held outside. Masks are to be worn before and after eating and between bites. No singing or chanting is allowed and the meal is to last no longer than two hours. These are just a few of the restrictions dreamed up to slow the spread of the Wuhan virus. What these arbitrary proclamations illustrate is the mind of a power-hungry dictator. Under the pretense of keeping people safe, governors like Newsom, Andrew Cuomo, J.B. Pritzker, Jay Inslee, Kate Brown, Gretchen Whitmer,...

Right up to November 3, Barack Obama absolutely must stay on the campaign trail for Joe Biden, for two fundamental reasons.  One, Joe Biden is incapable of campaigning for anything other than ultra-limited appearances of short duration. Biden’s handlers know that every time he speaks for more than a few minutes, even a few miles away from home, he loses thousands of voters. Two, more compelling for Obama, he must cover his own tracks. Helping Biden get elected is the only possible way, however far-fetched that notion. Last August, it was revealed that Obama spied on the Trump campaign and knew...

New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin provides insight into Big Tech censorship with Trace Gallagher on ‘America’s Newsroom.’

[Note: This piece is heavy on video.] Ask yourself this while we’re at it: Why is Biden always yelling at his rallies? Why does he always look so damn angry? There’s only – on a really good day – two dozen people there. They aren’t excited, they aren’t raucus, they aren’t standing en masse doing chants like the thousands who attend Trump rallies. Biden could easily be heard with no mic at all, yet every speech is delivered shouting, yelling, and with that “hey you kids, get off my lawn!!” expression on his face. Why is this man so angry?...

Yesterday, October 30th, 2020, POTUS, Donald J. Trump was denied his First Amendment Rights to free speech & assembly during a political campaign Rally being held in Minnesota. These rights & assembly were denied and forbidden by order of the Democrat, Minnesota, Governor, Tim Walz & the Socialist, Communist, America Hater, Democrat, AG, Keith Ellison!!! Only 250 people were allowed to be at this political rally. However, over 25,000 Trump supporters gathered away from the confined rally activity. Trump, then shrewdly took his POTUS motorcade outside of the restricted political rally grounds and mingled personally with many of the 25,000...

Image from Grand Rapids Police facebook.com cropped and scaled by Dean Weingarten On 24 October 2020, the Grand Rapids Michigan Police Department held a gun turn-in event. Those who turned in guns were paid $50 for black powder guns, $100 for shotguns, rifles, and revolvers, and $200 for “Assault” rifles and semi-automatic pistols. From Grand Rapids Police facebook: The Gun Buy Back for today was a resounding success. Although it was scheduled until 4:00p, community members came down in force to turn in their unwanted firearms, so the event ended early. 107 firearms were turned in.The next Gun Buy Back...
