So, not sure where else to put this. I'm having a difficult time getting a "feel" for this election. By all counts, my gut is telling me that Trump should win in a landslide, based on the enthusiasm I see at Trump rallies, and the lack of the same at Biden "rallies". I totally discount the polling showing Biden ahead 15 points or whatever ridiculous number is coming out this week. Trump signs in my area are plentiful -- Biden signs, fewer than I saw for Hillary. But I remain concerned as to whether this is just the area I...

Chris Wallace: "Mr President [Donald Trump] are you willing to condemn white supremacists?" President Trump: "Abosolutely! I condemn the white supremacy of the Democratic Party that defended slavery in this country. I condemn the white supremacy of the Democratic party that gave us segregation in the south, the KKK, Jim Crow Laws, and resisted the Civil Rights movement. I condemn the white supremacy of the Democratic Party that continuously supports aborting millions of black babies both in the womb, and now outside of the womb!? I condemn the white supremacy of the Democratic Party which year after year increases welfare...

Democrats, praise Joe Biden for repeating his infamous claim, both false and plagiarized, that he was the first in his family to go to college. Joe Biden did not live a hardscrabble life; his grandfather was an oil executive. We now have a president, TRUMP, that doesn’t have to use a teleprompter or make up his resume. Let’s keep it that way! See what I mean for yourself.

Democrats will work with Twitter to take this Tweet down

Does anyone know of a politician who has taken responsibilities for any mistake they may have made? This short clip posted by Andy Ngo exemplifies what I’m talking about. You should watch for yourself as a REAL journalist, Brandi Kruse, asks Seattle Mayor Jenny directly: “You down-played the autonomous zone (CHAZ). People were later killed there. Do you take responsibility?” The Seattle Mayor’s answer translated by my king tom decoder ring: WHY HELL NO I DON’T! https://choiceclips.whatfinger.com/2020/09/18/journalist-brandi-kruse-asks-seattle-mayor-jenny-directly-you-down-played-the-autonomous-zone-chaz-people-were-later-killed-there-do-you-take-responsibility/

So for the Democrats to claim the moral ground! Please, how can we protect the signs? Please, need some help!

The conservative commentator and host of "Tucker Carlson Tonight" said during his show's latest episode that the California Democrat and chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence should step down following the release of transcripts from closed-door interviews conducted as part of the panel's investigation into Russian involvement in the 2016 U.S. presidential race. Mr. Carlson said the transcripts showed several witnesses testifying that they had not personally seen...

Media bias: "Language department " Sorry to watch also the drive-by-media when it defines the riots. Portland or Kenosha. * Peaceful protest becomes "emotional" * "Angrey". * "Clashes". * "mostly peaceful" "only some" are violent. What is your favorite?

As the elections approach and civil war draws nearer, it is vital to know the enemy. This is a review of The Woke Supremacy: An Anti-Socialist Manifesto which details who the Woke are, where they came from, what they want, what they're willing to do get it and, most disturbing, what is likely to befall humanity should they win.

Camelot and King Arthur's Court, Knights of the Round Table, Guinevere, Sir Lancelot, Sir Galahad, and the search for the Holy Grail ... (The Holy Grail was Jesus' cup at the Last Supper.) Our imaginations soar with history and legend immortalized in "Idylls of the King," written 1859-85 by poet Alfred Lord Tennyson. Alfred Lord Tennyson embellished the medieval legend of the Lady of the Lake who gave the sword Excalibur to the courageous young King Arthur. Scenes of this were portrayed in Disney's 1963 animated musical fantasy movie, The Sword in the Stone. Born AUGUST 6, 1809, Alfred Lord...

Settlers in New England highlighted the conflict between self-preservation and the selfless sharing of the Gospel. Gospel-motivated settlers wanted to bless the native inhabitants, both physically and spiritually. Unfortunately, other settlers viewed natives as an unpredictable danger, as sometimes they would kidnap women and children, or steal from farms. In a larger sense, what both sides were experiencing was a colliding of civilizations. Europe, Asia, China, India, North Africa, and the Middle East, all had centuries of written languages, metal tools, scientific advancements, agricultural technologies, and powerful weapons. By comparison, natives of North America had a subsistence lifestyle. This was...

In June of 1775, citizens acting as merchant mariners captured the British schooner HMS Margaretta around Machias, Massachusetts (present-day Maine). That same month, General George Washington, with the help of merchant ship owner Colonel John Glover of Marblehead, Massachusetts, chartered and outfitted several ships to interrupt the British supplies. The marker at the base of John Glover's statue in Boston states: "John Glover of Marblehead - A Soldier of the Revolution. He commanded a regiment of one thousand men raised in that town known as the marine regiment, and enlisted to serve throughout the war. He joined the camp at...

Columbus set sail on his first voyage AUGUST 3, 1492, with the Nina, Pinta and the Santa Maria. He explained how the Spanish monarchs approved his plan: "... And ordained that I should not go by land (the usual way) to the Orient (East), but by the route of the Occident (West), by which no one to this day knows for sure that anyone has gone." Why did he seek to find a sea route to India and China? Because 40 years earlier Islamic Ottoman Turks closed off the land routes. The background to Columbus' voyage goes back to the...

"There she blows!" cried the lookout, sighting the great white whale, Moby Dick. The classic book, Moby Dick, was written by New England author Herman Melville, published in 1851. In the novel, Captain Ahab, driven by revenge, sailed the seas to capture this great white whale who had bitten off his leg in a previous encounter. The crew of Captain Ahab's ship, the Pequod, included: Ishmael, the teller of the tale, which begins the line: "Call me Ishmael"-the name of Abraham's son who was sent away; Chief Mate Starbuck, a Quaker from Nantucket, for whom the Seattle-based coffee franchise took...

On the third of his four voyages, Columbus sailed south along the west coast of Africa before heading west across the Atlantic Ocean . There he was caught in the "doldrums," a dangerous condition near the equator, called the "horse latitudes," where there is intense heat and no wind. The origin of the term "horse latitudes" came later, when ships sailing to the New World were stranded in the "doldrums" for weeks. As they baked in the sun, they ran out of fresh drinking water. Sailors reportedly pushed overboard the horses they were transporting as the ocean salt water they...
