I’ll vote either tonight or Thursday. In person.

Nate Silver is a joke
If the polls aren’t tightening since the debate—and with 62 million people having voted—we’re sort of getting to the point where the only way Trump can win is with a major polling error, bigger than in 2016 (or if the election is stolen somehow).

@ eaglesoars:
That’s just the Dems setting up the narrative
@ eaglesoars:
Yep, set the narrative, like Lobo said
And Nate silver is a joke. Someone is paying his tab.
I have an MS in what he does…and he is sloppy and his math makes no sense
@ lobo91:
So she is a hired consultant for the R candidate and is going around advising people how to vote a straight D ticket? The Dems would have a media field day with this. The R’s seem to just roll over and take it. Except for Trump.
@ lobo91:
If anyone came walking to my door to talk about my vote I would kick them to the curb. It’s the reason I like Polling booths. You go in and vote. It’s private. No one is standing over your shoulder trying to influence you.
I’ve voted every election I think. I’m not of a mind to encourage others to vote. That’s their choice. I think its because my parents were big on voting when I was young.
@ darkwords:
Hence the reason the word whore Republicans and scare sluts got the boot.
They all hang out at Lincoln Log Project now.
@ eaglesoars:
If someone write this. (or if the election is stolen somehow) about a Trump victory then you know where their head is.
The only election stealing this election will be the rabid progs who are telegraphing their theft every day. A lot of projection. A lot of upset by having to follow rules. A lot of looking the other way in the face of violence.
@ coldwarrior:
And that is one goofy looking bunch when you see their group photo. They have more in common with Hunter Biden than with Abe Lincoln.
I think someone posted it here. But I can’t see anything horrible Trump has done here in his presidency. Maybe upsetting the money pipes. Matt Gaetz talks about this a bit.
All this hysteria about Trump is basically rich politicians and lobbyists messaging to voters a level of noise designed to keep them rich. The modern slave. Is a democrat.
Trump did say in 2016 that he knew all the rules these people played by, that he played by them, to survive. But that he was going to change that to make life better for the person with a job.
There is real anger here in PA. I overhear it, see it, but never speak…

There’s one Republican I can’t vote for, on our county commission. He and a couple of other guys got caught running false ads against a mayoral candidate a couple of years ago. I won’t vote for him, but I won’t support the Democrat either. Maybe I’ll just write my own name in.

Trump’s campaign website is ‘seized’ by hackers who claim to have evidence that ‘proves his criminal involvement with foreign actors to manipulate the 2020 election’ – but demand money before revealing it
A message reading, ‘this site was seized’ appeared briefly on the homepage of DonaldJTrump.com, before the website was taken offline completely at 7:20pm
The hackers behind the stunt claimed to have compromised multiple of the president’s devices, that gave them ‘full access’ to Trump and his relatives
‘We have evidence that completely discredits mr trump as a president, proving his criminal involvement…with foreign actors manipulating the 2020 elections’
The hackers then included a link to two cryptocurrency addresses, one for ‘yes, release the data’ and a second for ‘no, don’t release it’
Trump 2020 Communications Director Tim Murtaugh later released a statement on the system breach, assuring that no sensitive data had been compromised

Jesus Christ, excuse my language, but Laura Ingraham just showed a video of Jacinda Ardern, PM New Zealand. The woman looks and moves and smiles like an absolute ghoul. I didn’t even catch exactly what she was saying except that she was threatening – with a horse teeth mouth smile – if they don’t do what she says …. this is … I don’t know what to say. If I saw a woman like that on the street I’d just shoot her out of the creep factor.

No healthcare plan, higher middle lower class taxes, Rich people pay no taxes, 228,889 dead Americans, 12,580,000 unemployed Americans, 8,000,000 more Americans in Poverty, while Donald Trump used well over 100,000,000 in tax money for golf

Tucker Carlson boasts highest-rated month in cable news history

This story was printed BEFORE Tucker’s interview w/Bobulinski last night.
BTW, did anybody else catch what Tucker said at the end of the broadcast? He thanked Fox News for ‘allowing’ them to go with the story and air it, as there was a lot of pressure not to.
Wonder what the backstory on that is………..

I wonder what Kirstjen Nielsen’s opinion is on this? I liked her from what I saw of her. A chief can have their own opinions but they will always reflect the good judgement of their boss. Was her office then hiring anonymous op eders across her organization? He’s a real bad apple.

SCOTUS is staying out of the PA election fight for now. In separate statement, Alito suggests that the court could potentially intervene after the election if late-arriving ballots change the results. Here’s the order. Justice Barrett did not participate.
Clarification: “Change the results” was imprecise phrasing on our part (and not used in the Alito opinion). What the opinion suggests is that, if late-arriving ballots are determinative, the court could still weigh in.

FBI warns ransomware assault threatens US healthcare system
BOSTON — Federal agencies warned that cybercriminals are unleashing a major ransomware assault against the U.S. healthcare system. Independent security experts say it has already hobbled at least five U.S. hospitals this week, and could potentially impact hundreds more.
In a joint alert Wednesday, the FBI and two federal agencies warned that they had “credible information of an increased and imminent cybercrime threat to U.S. hospitals and healthcare providers.” They said “malicious cyber actors” are targeting the sector with ransomware that could lead to “data theft and disruption of healthcare services.”
The aggressive offensive by a Russian-speaking criminal gang coincides with the U.S. presidential election, though there was no immediate indication it was motivated by anything but profit.
“We are experiencing the most significant cyber security threat we’ve ever seen in the United States,” Charles Carmakal, chief technical officer of the cybersecurity firm Mandiant, said in a statement. He’s concerned that the group may deploy malware to hundreds of hospitals over the next few weeks.
Alex Holden, CEO of Hold Security, which has been closely tracking the ransomware in question for more than a year, agreed that the unfolding offensive is unprecedented in magnitude for the U.S. Administrative problems caused by ransomware, which scrambles data into gibberish that can only be unlocked with software keys provided once targets pay up, could further stress hospitals burdened by a nationwide spike in COVID-19 cases.
The cybercriminals suspected of the attacks use a strain of ransomware known as Ryuk, which is seeded through a network of zombie computers called Trickbot that Microsoft began trying to counter earlier in October. While the company has had considerable success knocking Trickbot command-and-control servers offline through legal action, analysts say criminals have still been finding ways to spread Ryuk.

@ eaglesoars:
He works on an ontology called a simulation. His take on the politics is that conservatives are currently thoughtful people not prone to violence. And progressives are whack jobs prone to violence.
Today he talked about how people get lucky. Be in a place where there is human energy you like, develop several talents, run the talents through an A/B testing cycle constantly. Over time you will get successful.
He’s still a nerd though. His current hypnotist take is that only about 20 percent of the population can be hypnotized well. And this is because they want to be. The hypnotist learns to work with that section of the population.
I followed him because I was interested in the concepts of negotiation and persuasion which he details a lot.And he is really sharp about dealing with online trolls.
@ eaglesoars:
I think that suggests that fox phones and/or emails are being monitored.
I ran a group mail server once. As the admin I could read anyone’s emails I wanted to and keep them marked unread. There is so much mail no one wants to do that. But on occasions someone of questionable intelligence or carelessness would send an email with profanity in the title or porn pics as attachments(happens too often). We would pull this stuff out. Put it in a document then have the low level manager counsel the employee. Even then a couple of the employees couldn’t adjust. Dismissed.
I think Twitter and Facebook staff read the DM’s of famous conservatives. And more likely lacking ethics in the first place they look to mishandle Tucker Carlson media with plausible deniability. @jack and Zuckerberg might not even know it’s going on. Or they do and they don’t mind looking the other way. Zuckerberg is famous for doing this in his younger days.

A spokesperson for the United Parcel Service (UPS) said Thursday that the company has located the package that Fox News host Tucker Carlson alleged contained damning material on Hunter Biden.
“After an extensive search, we have found the contents of the package and are arranging for its return,” the spokesperson told the Daily Beast. “UPS will always focus first on our customers, and will never stop working to solve issues and make things right.”

@ eaglesoars:
The final, precipitating cause is that The Intercept’s editors, in violation of my contractual right of editorial freedom, censored an article I wrote this week, refusing to publish it unless I remove all sections critical of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, the candidate vehemently supported by all New-York-based Intercept editors involved in this effort at suppression.
The censored article, based on recently revealed emails and witness testimony, raised critical questions about Biden’s conduct. Not content to simply prevent publication of this article at the media outlet I co-founded, these Intercept editors also demanded that I refrain from exercising a separate contractual right to publish this article with any other publication.

I had a life-or-death item go missing with Fed Ex (hubby’s cancer tissue). That’s how I find out that there is a ‘damaged package’ procedure, sort of like a lost and found. CW might know better tho, he used to work for UPS, I believe.
If someone had really intended to steal it, I doubt they would have found it and Tucker would not have got an empty package. He would have got nada.
EXCLUSIVE: A

opened up a criminal investigation into “Hunter Biden and his associates,” focused on allegations of money-laundering, and that it remains open and active today. More very soon on your

Umm yeah. No. I have first-hand experience with UPS “service”. I work for a large corporation, so we self-insure, thus when sending things, we don’t buy insurance. We had a critical package sent to a customer with equipment worth well over $100K and vitally important for a test being conducted at the customer site. Days went by with no delivery, tracking said it had been delivered to a certain person and signed for. It wasn’t our person. UPS simply told us to file a claim. Oh, did I mention this was time critical and that replacement would take about 6 months to replace the missing equipment? Our property manager did not accept that response and started probing deeper. Found the name and location of the person who signed for the shipment. Turns out she had quit working at that location about the time the package showed up. Property manager finally located the address and current point of contact. Our package had been put in a corner because nobody knew whose it was or what to do with it. Property manager arranged transfer to the right people. Property manager got lots of thanks and a dinner certificate for that.

Spoke to someone familiar with the Trump camps polling. With a few days left, these are some of the states they are confident in: FL, AZ, NC, Maine 2nd district, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Texas. Not confident: Michigan.
Public polls show they’re down in most of these states.

My sister is a poll worker in Florida. Today some woman took her ballot to my sister and wondered why there was no one to vote for in the House. My sister said Neil Dunn is on the ballot, running unopposed. The woman said “But my husband told me I could vote for Speaker of the House”
@ eaglesoars:
Oh crap, and its vote counts the same as those people who think.
@ AZfederalist:
It’s disheartening
MIAMI — Democrats are sounding the alarm about weak voter turnout rates in Florida’s biggest county, Miami-Dade, where a strong Republican showing is endangering Joe Biden’s chances in the nation’s biggest swing state.
One particular area of concern is the relative share of ballots cast by young voters of color and less-reliable Democratic voters. Part of the problem, according to interviews with a dozen Democratic elected officials and operatives, is the Biden campaign‘s decision to discourage field staff from knocking on doors during the pandemic and its subsequent delay in greenlighting — and funding — a return to door-to-door canvassing.

I worked for UPS in 2014 as a driver helper. Left in December as I got a real job.
January 2015 got a call from the police asking me about a package containing expensive jewelry that I was accused of delivering to the wrong place.
Told the nice police man I could not remember if I made a mistake. He said well we know you delivered it to Foot Locker and got a signature….
I then told him all packages that were high value were marked in big letters HV on them.
He said ” you got to be shitting me! ”
I said, no… all the shit that is worth stealing is marked HV
He was a nice police man..
@ eaglesoars:
This is a good thing. My confidence in elections has gone down thought. I think we need at least a 1 year delay in any election changes that affect a federal election.
I voted for Jimmy Carter. Was an alternative delegate. My young radical days. At some point Reagan showed me the error of my ways. There was a libertarian stint in between where I saw local caucus leaders manipulate the caucus process to ensure their choice was approved. I became less immersed in the machinery of elections. I did work for an elections office for a few years. And with election systems. Changing them in not a task for the faint of heart. The election officials I worked with seemed to have integrity. Until Obama came in to the election cycle. Then an informal loyalty check arose.
I can pretty much guarantee all election offices in major cities are run and staffed by HR approved woke people. they will make ballot decisions. Those ballot decision will favor their politics. Because the GoP doesn’t hold them accountable.

I have one question. I thought things would change when we finally got Trump as President. But why are we still playing by the dems rules with our political ads? They are allowed every dirty trick in the book yet for some reason Bidens history of racist statements and associations is verboten? I’m very confused. They can say or do anything they want with no evidence yet we have audio and video of Biden saying horrible things all through his long career and we can’t use it? I really don’t understand.
