Sponsor the show - https://www.decisionusaonline.com/sponsor-decision-usa-2024 IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) The landscape continues to look extremely good for President Trump and Republicans. In WI, the strong R counties are crushing the blue counties so far in early ballot requests, 2:1 (that's numbers, not percent so the size of the counties are irrelevant!) Even MSNBC has reported a "shift" against Cackles. (I felt this shift last Friday/Saturday and remarked about it on Twit.) In Georgia, the ratio of white voters is up, the percentage of blacks is down. And as of October 17, the early vote returns are TIED. By the way, PA registration has been R+19 since Cackles entered the race. and R early ballot requests in PA are AHEAD of Ds, and Rs exceeded Ds yesterday. This whole world is shifting.a For example, mail in ballots in NV are also of Rs (43%-27%). 2) As you know, I don't like polling but the lefty Marquette poll now has Trump up nationally and this poll now has Trump pulling away in PA. This report has Cackles pulling ads from Milwaukee, so that may be the Cheese State. Not surprising then that the new Gallup party ID poll has an R+3 electorate but it's SEVEN POINTS when leaners are "pushed." Trump leads indies by a whopping 10 points in the latest Marist poll. In FL, where typically DemoKKKrats absurdly run up the score in early voting, their advantage is barely over 5 no. In 2020, it was 21. Heck, even FAUX has to admit Trump is winning, having him up 2 (which would be at least 312 EVs). The National Catholic Reporter poll found Trump leading Cackles among Catholics. Brett Baier hit Cackles with that news right off the bat. According to reports, Cackles staff was desperate to end the interview. Paul Sperry reported: "No fewer than four handlers for Kamala frantically waved their hands to signal to Fox News anchor Bret Baier to cut his interview with her short. "It's gotta stop!" Baier said they conveyed." Then there was this weird evidence: Zero and Rutabaga were seen at Ethyl Kennedy's funeral and Zero was telling Rutabaga (according to lip readers) "No." "Not good," probably talking about the Cackles campaign. Mark Halperin says that a Trump victory will cause the greatest mental health crisis of our lifetimes. 3) And, for general overall pants-filling, the DemoKKKrats are just freaking out: “This is not where we want to be with less than three weeks to go. This is terrifying.” 4) On his "Bourbon and Barnes" podcast last night, lawyer Robert Barnes had a fascinating take---one that really I hadn't considered---on the DemoKKKrats' seeming failure to understand the magnitude of the defeat facing them. His theory is that they really don't believe they stole the 2020 race. Thus they believe the current hoax polling. 5) This is pretty incredible. Apple's Tim Cook called TRUMP about the EU regulations, not Rutabaga or Cackles. 6) We knew this all along. Crime is up. Now the FascistBI has engaged in a "stealth edit" of crime stats putting them higher., DOUBLING their original lies. 7) I missed this the first time I reported this, but an AZ judge blocked an algorithm that could potentially enable fraud that was instituted by the useless toadcreeper Sec State Adrian Fontes. 8) This is some sort of karma right here, as New Kabul (NYC) mayor Eric the Red Adams' legal fate now rests in the hands of . . . Donald Trump as President. 9) MSNBC sent a reporter into the field and he couldn't find ANYONE who voted for Cackles 10) Big lawsuit here: Employees at a Tennessee factory were told to stay at work while the bosses snuck out the back. Two employees drowned. 11) A dimwit lib tore down Greek flags at a NY restaurant thinking they were Israeli flags. 12) Janet Screamin' and Yellin has allowed DEI to capture the Treasury Department. 13) Congress just voted to fund Ozempic with Medicare to the tune of $1500 a month. Most members of Congress take money from Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic as RFK, Jr. points out, and MOST users are not diabetics but celebrities wanting the weight loss features. 14) In the ever important senate races, Eric Hovde has taken a one-point lead in WI. 15) A GA judge ruled that the state must certify the winner of the election even if there are charges of fraud. DemoKKKrats don't realize it yet but they have made "resisting" or "protesting" Trump's election impossible. 16) The new SEC database violates privacy and freedom of expression. 17) David Blackmon, the Rush Limbaugh of Energy, reveals the final absurdity of the green movement in that now it has declared war on greens. That's ...

    IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) So usually I don't do this, but this article is so important I think that I'm going to pull a "Rush Limbaugh" and analyze this in the news. First, it's The Hiill, one of the three approved DemoKKKrat media outlets in D.C. For The Hill to say this, it's big. The article is "The 4 Reasons Harris is Losing." Now keep in mind that the Hoax Pollsters still either have her up or tied nationally. Apparently someone isn't getting the memo. This article is based on interviews with anonymous DemoKKKrat campaign operatives who think Harris is losing. The four reasons? a) Cackles sucks as a candidate and her media blitz didn't help; b) She can't escape the Rutabaga record. All her word salad answers don't get to the issue: "You were in for four years and caused this!" c) This one is stupid, at least as they phrased it: "You cannot run against a cult of personality." See, the moron DemoKKKrat turdtotems still see Trump as a "personality" rather than the embodiment of a movement. I'm glad they still are screwed up, but it's amazing to me that after eight years they still haven't figured him out. d) This is really important though: Cackles has no answer for "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?" To me the significance of these questions is far less important than the fact that the article came out, meaning that DemoKKKrats in the know understand that Cackles is losing big. This Cackles advisor says they are losing PA: "we can't run up the score" in Philly. And she declined an interview with Time, unlike every other presidential candidate. 2) Going around the horn with some of the data since late last week, North Carolina shows DemoKKKrats with only an 8% lead in early mail-in voting, a disaster for them in that state, while Republicans have actually . . . for the first time ever . . . taken the lead in "active voters." NBC now has Trump up 1; CBS's battleground poll has Trump up in AZ, GA, NC, tied in PA and WI, and only down 2 in WI and MI. This is a rout, folks. Trump underpolls by 2.1 in every single election. You know it's bad because the DemoKKKrats trotted out Zero---which, they still apparently haven't learned, has never proven to be good at turning out votes for anyone but himself. But Zero's lecturaing prompted this response from one black man: "I got a dad and he ain't you." A CNN data reporter says at this point Trump will put up the best numbers with blacks since 1960 and with Hispanics since 2004. Trump held a rally at Coachella, Kollyfornia suggesting that his team thinks the map is safe and that there is a play to be made for the popular vote and House seats. Actor Dennis Quaid ("Reagan") also spoke. Similarly, Trump's campaign rented Madison Square Garden for an event. In other new polling, Cackles is doing no better with women than either Rutabaga or Cankles, while Trump is doing better with men than any GOP candidate since Reagan., Oh, and as we suspected Cackles is hiring crowds. By the way, I put no stock whatsoever in Little Natey Silver, but he now has 19 states moving in Trump's direction. 3) MI Republicans won a major lawsuit against the state to require more GOP poll watchers. Meanwhile, the Department of INJustice sued VA for purging dead DemoKKKrats off its rolls. 4) The DOJ is suing an energy exec for skirting tariffs on ChiCom solar panels. This is one of the problems with solar: To make them here requires a Trump directing the economy, but a Trump directing the economy would not direct it to solar. Speaking of energy, though, the Rush Limbaugh of Energy, David Blackmon, details the unexpected marriage between Big Tech and coal. 5) Tampon Timmy tried to Butch Up by going pheasant hunting. He had trouble loading his shotgun. 6) It's unclear if this belongs in politics, entertainment, or "true crime," but it appears Kanye West is the first big name to come out from the P. Diddley info, as he is accused of drugging and sexually assaulting an assistant at a DiddleParty. 7) In the Arizona Senate race, Kari Lake must be doing pretty well. (Have on good authority her internals have her up). The evil, vile Arizona Repulsive published 15 hit pieces on her in two days. Lucky nobody still reads that birdcage liner. 8) In preparation for a President Trump administration, the GOP in Congress has launched an investigation into George Soros's purchase of some 200 radio stations. 9) Elon Musk's Space-X, completing its fifth test flight, has done something NASA could never do: land a rocket vertically. 10) Meteorologists have been hit with death threats after debunking hurricane myths. You mean, like they are man made? 11) This is definitely not good: mystery drones swarmed over the Norfolk Navy base for 17 days. 12) Nor is this, though it certainly doesn't add up. An armed man was arrested outside Trump's Coachella rally, and a sheriff thinks it could be another assassination attempt. What's strange here is that he has appeared to be a conservative who ...

    TODAY'S NEWS, EARLY WEEK EDITION, October 7-11, 2024

    IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Didn't I say it? I felt over the weekend that the wheels had come off the Cackles clown car and that complete momentum had shifted to President Trump AND Republicans. In WI, R internals show Trump up 3 now, and the Ds are freaking out about Tammy Baldwin losing the senate race. I sense overall panic setting in---for example, the latest (and likely accurate) poll has Trump up 13 in FL. Mark Halperin's latest video blog says Republicans now believe they have the "sunbelt" and PA, so that's the election right there. In Maricopa Co., AZ, a dominant lead for Rs is getting ridiculous. Overnight, both parties saw a blizzard of registrations. Ds registered 2,000!! Wow. Except Rs registered 4,000!!!! Total R lead in Maricopa Co. alone is 175,000 or R+7. How about PA, where the early ballot requests are now even in a state where Ds usually have a 40 point advantage?? And if you believe in magic, er, polls, here the the latest Insider Advantage that has Trump up 2 in PA (meaning at least a 3 and possibly a 4 point win). Here is the latest Quinnipiac poll with Trump up 3 in MI and 2 in WI (but strangely down in PA---not possible). And a new Cook Political report has Trump leading big (7 points) among mid- and low-propensity voters. Actually, I find that low. RealClearPolitics how has Trump up in the average of polls in MI. 2) This is very interesting and could be interpreted a couple of ways. An ad-watch agency says Cackles has canceled ads in ME, MN, NH and NV. Now, pro-Cackles people could say they think those states are safe. I can't imagine that, especially NV and NH. Another way to look at it as Custer's Last Stand in PA, WI, and MI---that the others won't matter if Cackles doesn't salvage a win in PA or MI. Conrad Black says the notion that the Cackles campaign iis beginning to fray. I believe it. Yesterday (supposedly) Trump internals had him up in every single battleground state. Except now I want VA, ME, NM, and MN to be the new "battlegrounds." 3) My colleague on DecisionUSA2024 election night coverage, "Captain" Seth Keshel (@RealSKeshel) has Trump winning NV by over 2 points and nearly 40,000 votes. This tracks with Richard Baris's NV polling showing Trump leading in CLARKE Co. by 2. Activote has Trump nationally by 2. 4) Wow, the New York Slimes has Rs taking the senate. 5) A Katrina-like disaster is unfolding as Rutabaga and Cackles do nothing and FEMA is useless while a new hurricane hits Florida. And this brutal article: Cackles bungled hurricane relief because she really doesn't care. 6) An ex-Las Vegas councilwoman has been found guilty of using $70,000 meant for a police memorial on plastic surgery and her daughter's wedding. Psst. The plastic surgery didn't take. 7) Cackles husband, Doug Emhoff, has been hit with a slew of sexual harassment allegations. 8) The NSA is investigating a hack of the major telecom companies by the ChiComs. Meanwhile the Afghan who plotted the election day massacre worked for the CIA. Shocked I tell ya. 9) The Georgia Election Board voted to subpoena all 2020 election data. This could be the beginning of the Great Exposure. 10) Ruy Teixeira, one of the few liberals with a brain, carefully reviews a yougov survey on voters' attitudes toward "green" energy and finds they ain't bitin'. No one likes most of the "energy transition" proposals and people know it will create major unseen problems. 11) Shots have been fired at an Arizona DNC office for the third time. 12) I think there is no question that in the AZ Senate race, Kari Lake is building momentum. Now this, which won't help El Pollo Gallego. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 13) It's not just Springfield, OH, but the Rutabaga administration has been dumping Haitian invaders in small towns everywhere in the midwest, towns too poor and inconsequential to fight back. Here is a story about Charleroi, PA. 14) Cackles let in nearly 1.7 million "security threats" in her time as useless "border czar." 15) New Kabul (New York City) is seeking 14,000 hotel rooms for illegal criminal aliens for 2025 at a cost of $2.3 BILLION. IN CULTURAL NEWS 16) Ryan Burge shows that overall American religious denominations are slowly moving to the right, and that a couple generally thought to be liberal aren't as left-leaning as generally thought. IN TRANSOID NEWS 17) For a third time the Colorado Supreme Court has dismissed a case against a Christian baker for refusing to bake a so-called homosexual wedding cake. 18) This is absolutely criminal and should be met with the death penalty for any doctors involved: thousands of sex-change surgeries were performed on minors according to this data base. 19) There will be a statewide student walkout in New York against transoid men competing against girls in female sports. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 20) Texas's ERCOT will connect other southern power grids and will not sacrifice its independence to the feds. 21) Google's monopoly may be in trouble from the feds. ...
