From Cook Report - talking about Georgia. It's notable that a place like Towns Co. (Trump +61 in '20) is at 92% of its final '20 turnout, while Clayton Co. (Biden +71) is at 69% of its '20 turnout," he wrote on X. "Doesn't tell us who will win GA, just that Dems have more work to do than Rs to turn out their vote in the final days."

Nevada has closed with 1,085,000 early votes. Mail in votes will still be collected. GOP 39% Dems 34% Jon Ralston reckons it will take a landslide of late votes from Clark County to overturn the GOP lead. Looks like Nevada has gone for Trump, and Arizona - we'll see.

And yet another hoax is born. The genuine American left regard the Cheney family as rancid scum, the Devil incarnate. They are not falling for this drivel. They agree with Trump, how fast would Cheney be to declare war if she was on the front line? And this was the received wisdom on the Left for decades. Liz Cheney is a neocon, she is her father in drag. The neocons detest Trump as they love nothing better than forever wars. They feel they can impose America's will on the world and fear anyone growing strong enough to challenge. That's the primary reason why the US military budget is wild compared to other countries, and the primary reason why its regarded as virtually traitorous to suggest reducing the budget. In this, I also blame Trump, as he also fell for the "boast about increasing military spending" blunder. The USA does not need a near Trillion dollars per year military spend. The country effectively cannot be invaded, and there's no appetite for overseas intervention after the Iraq War etc. More to the point, drone warfare is the next frontier. Soldiers will be replaced by targeted AI flying thousands of small impact explosive drones onto grid targets.

Yes, I'm aware of that and he couldn't have brought in a better policy to destroy farms. Naturally the clown brigade is all over Jeremy Clarkson buying a farm to escape IHT. He is far from normal. Normal are families who are emotionally tied to their land and lifestyle for generations. I have no problem with Clarkson types having to pay IHT for the first generational transfer. Hitting people who have owned land for 200 years with IHT is just ridiculous. They have no control over the value, it's governmental brutality against the custodians of our countryside. Truly appalling.

I rarely discuss British politics. I will say that the level of rage I'm seeing is off the scale. The attack on farmers is unbelievable. My mate, who's a ninth generation farmer and unmarried, is in a panic as he reckons he's leaving a crippling inheritance tax bill to his nieces and nephews. These are just working class kids. He thought he would die on the farm, he's now looking to sell and distribute the cash before death. Who's going to buy? Companies - and they'll turn the British countryside into factory farms. Generations of independent knowledge and care will disappear. It's absurd. You're not a farmer, you don't care? Right - my Dad has just discovered that his pension scheme is liable to 40% tax. This is a man who started off down the mines, and worked in engineering and quarries his entire life. He lives a frugal life, he remembers poverty, as does my mother. He now has eighteen months to obliterate his pension savings or lose 40% to the tax man. He's just recovering from an illness, not doing well at the moment, and he gets hit with this just before his 80th birthday. It's cruel.
