    And THAT is why Ron Paul & RFK Jr. are willing to be on board. Doing the right thing for the right reasons is what motivates them.

    I'm not sure how much I'm gonna watch Tuesday night. I always have, but the past few cycles have soured me on it. And my eyes won't change the outcome.

    Wow I just read the article about Jeff bezos and that not endorsing a candidate I think it's really good what he's doing I didn't know he owned the Washington Post but he wants it to be nonpartisan shoot he could be the first person to do that I'm going to quit bitching about Amazon if Jeff bezos is going to make the Right moves like that I only read the one article so I'm not sure about anything except it sounds like a good darn idea to me otherwise bezos could lose half of his people that buy from Amazon for crying out loud. And whatever else he owns like the Washington Post.

    I feel pretty much the same way John Plus I guess I wonder if my vote will really count at least I did it for me that's the main reason I do it so I can say I tried and I do think I did the right thing by voting a lot of people have even died given their lives so I could vote.

    No. I probably won't watch and my husband will be glued to Fox News. And if you mean Peter Jennings, he died several years ago.

    I see that the anchor will be Brian Williams, that beacon of trustworthy journalism...

    In February 2015, Williams was suspended by NBC News for six months for "misrepresent[ing] events which occurred while he was covering the Iraq War in 2003".[2] Four months after the incident came to light, the network removed him from NBC Nightly News permanently and reassigned him as the breaking news anchor for MSNBC. :rolleyes:

    The coverage will also include Shepard Smith and feature commentary from political consultant James Carville. Oh goody.

    Thanks, I hadn't dug into it yet - and I wasn't thinking deeply.

    I bounce around between sources on Election Night. As the totals mount toward completion it can actually get hilarious at times. I can still remember all of the meltdowns back in 2016. First jolly with overconfidence, then one excuse after another and "really soon now you'll see," then it got grim, and finally ended in tears and wailing.

    Hmm, I see they are back to trying to hang Covid on Trump now. If only he'd had the temerity to kick Fauci and his gang through the goalposts, but Trump probably wasn't the one who ordered at gain of function research.

    However the mess dragged on longer under Biden.

    Fauci was the one who pushed the gain of function, even when the President at the time (Obama) forbade it. He is truly a corrupt arrogant man who should spend the remainder of his life behind bars. He won't because he is a Democrat and they don't abandon even the most corrupt among them.

    Chinese student to face criminal charges for voting in Michigan. Ballot will apparently count

    The 19-year-old from China was legally present in the United States but not a citizen, which meant he couldn't legally cast a ballot, according to information from the Michigan Secretary of State's office. He registered to vote on Sunday using his UM student identification and other documentation establishing residency in Ann Arbor, signed a document identifying himself as a U.S. citizen and his ballot was entered into a tabulator, according to the Secretary of State's office.

    The ballot was cast at an early voting site at the University of Michigan Museum of Art on State Street, according to the Ann Arbor city administrator.

    Later, the UM student voter contacted the local clerk's office, asking if he could somehow get his ballot back, according to Benson's office.

    The student's ballot is expected to count in the upcoming election — although it was illegally cast — because there is no way for election officials to retrieve it once it's been put through a tabulator, according to two sources familiar with Michigan election laws. The setup is meant to prevent ballots from being tracked back to an individual voter.
    WTF?

    Oh, and "there is no election fraud" huh? That's just one of quite a number of voting fraud cases this year, several involving multiple "voters" per incident.

    The bogus claims otherwise should never be tolerated again. Somebody should be tallying these incidents to throw in their faces every time Dems tell their lies.

    Interesting young foreigner's take:



    The video throws up a "card" of text near the end where he says Trump supporters seemed "for Trump" while Harris voters seemed "against Trump." Hmm. :rolleyes:

    I like the strength you men have. I am far from a women's libber, and I believe in the way God created us to be. I get plenty pissed off at men, but a world without them would be horrible. I am glad for the strong men I see in America, and I pray for those that are "confused". I respect women that know that men need to lead this country. I'm really sticking a stick in a hornets nest but I don't care, I see what happens when any human being ignores the Word of God, and takes things too far.

    Sorry, I wandered off there, but I've been praying this a.m. Believe it or not, I prayed for what I believe to be my enemies that are running this country right now. Now I feel as if, for the time being at least, I can relax and know God's got this whole thing. I also refuse to believe the polls, or I'll try not to let the media upset me. I remember 2016, thank God ;) I remember something at all sometimes, lol! I just have to be sure I don't end up acting just the way the Left did when they lost.

    Guess we will all see in next 24 hours. No telling what is ahead for us.
    If I were younger and very rich, I'd kidnap my family and hit the trail. Either S. Dakota or Poland, maybe a little island like Zuckerberg has?
    I know you can't run and hide forever but may at least do better with time we got? Don't know really, but I do think thats what I'd do.
    I feel America is gone and not sure anyone can bring it back. If I were younger, I'd been gone after Jimmy Carter was elected .
