An attorney who is a close friend in New Jersey just called me. He has voted in the same location in Monmouth County for 32 years. They are requiring ALL persons who show up to vote to complete provisional ballots, telling them to leave many boxes blank. He called the county elections office and was told that the NJ Governor issued a rule that ALL IN PERSON VOTING MUST FILL OUT PROVISIONAL BALLOTS. No using voting machines. This takes much longer and is difficult for many people.

One way in which today's presidential election can be summarized is this: It is a contest between those who hate Donald Trump and those who hate the left (as I always point out, I am referring to the left, not to liberals or liberalism). This is so accurate an assessment I suspect even most Democrats would agree with it. They know they hate President Donald Trump. And they know conservatives (and a few courageous liberals) hate the left. When you put it this way, it shows how superficial the anti-Trump electoral argument is. We who are not on the left...

One of the few pollsters who accurately predicted that President Donald Trump would win the 2016 presidential election told Newsweek he feels "more confident every day" that Trump will also win his bid for re-election. Key to Trump's path to victory are his "shy" supporters who aren't necessarily telling most pollsters the truth about who they will vote for because of societal pressures that have only grown in the last four years, according to Robert Cahaly, a pollster and senior strategist with the Atlanta-based polling company Trafalgar Group.

If news organizations declare Joe Biden the mathematical president-elect, he plans to address the nation as its new leader, even if President Trump continues to fight in court, advisers tell Axios. So if Biden is declared the winner, he'll begin forming his government and looking presidential — and won't yield to doubts Trump might try to sow.

As the nation prepares for Election Day and the possibility of civil unrest in the following days, the Illinois National Guard is in a “state of readiness” and prepared to respond to communities throughout the state, Gov. J.B. Pritzker said. Videos below: LinkNo guns mounted, there is a CROW system in place of the turret. It’s an optical/aiming system that *can* have a weapon mounted but these do not currently.

A new website is leaking internal documents, images, and videos from radical left groups and people working inside the federal government planning a coup if President Trump wins reelection. The only way to defeat these people and their ideology is for Trump to have an overwhelming victory that establishes his mandate to restore America's constitutional order. The website is called “Sunrise Exposed,” and it went live on Sunday. The site explains that, This website houses leaked internal documents, images, videos, and internal communications from The Sunrise Movement and other radical left affinity groups. What’s gotten the most play since the...

DETROIT —On the eve of Election Day, Michigan voters swarmed to polling sites to cast their ballots, in many cases braving long lines and unforgiving weather to ensure their voices were heard in what some described as the most consequential election of their lifetimes. The secretary of state’s office reported some 2.9 million absentee ballots had been cast — about 60 percent of the ballots cast in Michigan in 2016. Nationwide, at least 98 million people already have voted, about 70 percent of the total vote from four years ago..... A hospital worker, Mary, emerged from the building, and said...

I don’t know what’s going to happen when the polls close tonight, no one does. Anyone telling you differently is selling something. But I did notice a new level of desperation in fundraising emails from Democrats in the closing days. This could be because the end of the grifter busy season is coming to an end – a ton of money was raised and spent this election cycle and those raising it made a fortune taking their slice – or it could be they’re worried. Whatever the case, I wanted to draw some attention to a few of the more...

Most of Jesus’ parables relate to him and his church. In Matthew 18 he describes a king who calls his servants to account. Evidently, the king was dealing with servants who had been exposed for committing crimes and the servant in greatest debt was one of the first offenders to be brought before him. In some way, this man had managed to fall into tremendous debt, owing the equivalent of hundreds of millions of dollars. When he was called to account, “he was not able to pay” (Matthew 18:25). So the king commanded that he be sold, along with his...

November 3 2020 Memorial of Saint Martin de Porres Thirty First Tuesday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 669 Reading 1 PHIL 2:5-11 Brothers and sisters: Have among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus, Who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped. Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and, found human in appearance, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name...

It’s just the flu, bro. Everything is about the election today. We will find out today if Americans value liberty, Trump, or security, Biden and his Coronavirus national lockdown. - Off topic but I got a 12 hour Twitter ban for implying that Biden voters were semi-retarded (my manners aren’t that nice on Twitter). I wonder if I would have been banned if I said the same thing about Trump voters. All social media (except FR, of course) is censoring Coronavirus truth and anything conservative, to varying degrees. - Why are MMA athletes the only ones that get it? Advance...

Republicans are up 20,000 in the first 20 minutes of voting. So far Republicans have a 32% advantage in the Florida Early Vote.

"Faith is . . . the conviction of things not seen" (Heb. 11:1). True faith goes beyond assurance to action. When the writer said, "Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen", he used two parallel and almost identical phrases to define faith. We've seen that faith is the assurance that all God's promises will come to pass in His time. "The conviction of things not seen" takes the same truth a step further by implying a response to what we believe and are assured of. James addressed the issue this way: "Someone may...

With merchants in Democrat-run cities boarding up their storefront windows, the possibility of serious urban violence is well-understood. As horrific as that could get (ask anyone who lives in Minneapolis), the progressive fascists appear to have a plan in place to make it even worse: disguising their rioters as Trump supporters in order to make the case that Donald Trump truly is a dictator that must be violently overthrown if he wins, or arrested and prosecuted if he loses. A source that has always been reliable was able to photograph an Antifa flyer: What makes all of this particularly chilling...

Today marks the moment the president's Minutemen base has been waiting for. The middle-class insurgency has become operational. I don't know how else to say it. There's a quiet seriousness among Trump voters as they prepare to vote in person. Each day, they raise their American flags, wave to their neighbors, and go about their business; but behind the smiles, Republicans are as focused as they've ever been. There's a look that you, no doubt, have seen on the faces of fellow Americans, a barely noticeable nod of the head that communicates a simple message: "Git-R-Done." Two hundred and fifty...

Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton's odds of winning the presidency rose from 78% last week to 91% Monday before Election Day, according to CNN's Political Prediction Market. Clinton's odds have always been much greater than her opponent, Republican nominee Donald Trump, according to the prediction market, although they had dropped last week. Her odds stood at 95% on October 20, but on October 26 dipped to 90%, and then continued to decline daily until October 31. On Halloween they reached 78%, right after FBI Director James Comey sent a letter to Congress saying the FBI had discovered emails related to the closed...
