Republican former President Donald Trump currently holds a 268-226 lead over Harris in the latest NPR Electoral Map of the most competitive states (see map above), just short of the 270 needed to win the presidency. Trump leads in the "Blue Wall" states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan within the margin of error.

"LOL"-Why not, your paying for it

"EACH TO HIS OWN!"

Harris campaign in a nutshell. It is better to have voters think Harris is unqualified for the office of president than to have Harris open her mouth and remove all doubt. Well, Harris spoke and removed all doubt. Harris is campaigning on using federal power to CONTROL private enterprise. It is scarry because government policies have pushed so many to the wall of having to depend on the government for a place to live, food to eat, healthcare, transportation, loan forgiveness, etc., that these government dependents will vote for more government handouts at the expense of their future welfare. Watch this election and observe how Harris will promise more and more as Harris struggles in the polls. " Price controls really do work!" - Hugo Chavez.

Never thought I'd say this but CNN commentator Scott Jennings is correct. Kamal' will cause food shortages if she does as planned on food price regulations. She doesn't know what she is doing. She'll do even worse based on WHAT SHE herself has stated in the past decade+. Kamal' is a true Socialist & can be called a true communist. It's been tried & has failed countries. Dangerous. She-wants 70-80%-income-tax. Harris joined-AOC-to-bring it to ALL-US-citizens. She said, ’..Make-everyone-'WOKE'. She-wants-to-ban-Private-Healthcare. Wake up-voters. Trump-POLICIES-ARE-GREAT & HE-PROVED-IT! What-has-Harris/Walz-done? Fair-questions. 38% corporate tax (How does that work??) No fracking/drilling Pass GreenNewDeal with $3T more taxpayer money And, more....

Here are my thoughts about what people mean when they say, “We must vote for Kamala Harris to defend this democracy”: (I hope you will add to the list) 1. We have the right to take money from those who have and give it to those we choose 2. We have the right to cheat, lie, and steal to get what we want 3. We have the right to stop people from saying what we do not wish to hear 4. We have a right to choose our own morality and it must be accepted and celebrated 5. We have the right to ignore laws with which we do not agree–do away with the police 6. We have the right to murder babies so that we are not inconvenienced with their care–besides their body parts can be sold for thousands of dollars 7. We have a right to take what others have if we are smart enough 8. We have the right to mutilate the bodies of children if they don’t want to be who they are 9. We have a right to be equal to others in possessions, popularity, and power regardless of our personal work ethic or intelligence 10. We have the right to ignore the U.S. Constitution–it’s an antiquated document not fit for today 11. We must appease foreign governments with our money to avoid war 12. We don’t need God 13.

Clear choice between Kamala's radical far left vision for America that has failed repeatedly in nations around the world for over a century and Trump's vision for a prosperous economy based on free market capitalism, which has produced exponentially greater success historically. Her inane proposal to address high grocery prices as corporate price gouging is not only a horrible policy, it is based on economic lies about the core problem. Biden and her socialist, big government policies caused the problem, she just can't admit to the truth if she wants to get elected. Her whole campaign is one big lie as she tries to make herself appear more moderate by making statements at complete odds with what she has said and done in the past. She lies about Trump's positions such as Project 2025, which he had nothing to do with, in her attempt to deceive the American people into believing the lie that things will be better under her administration than they were under the complete mess she and Biden made of America over the past four years.

Keep it up Yagoda, The others are drinking the "KOOL-AID!!"

That's her problem-As VP she has not done SH__!! A vote for her is a vote for "NOTHING!!"

Every one of these Democrat Veterans knows what Walz did was wrong, he lied about his rank for his own benefit. And they wouldn't hire Walz themselves now... because they found out he's dishonest. But they're not in the Military now... they're dutiful Democrat politicians, and therefore expected to tow the party line. So they were called upon by Democrat leadership to try and minimize or obfuscate the truth... so they can advance in the Democrat ranks, just like they did in the Military.

Walz is more concerned about US citizens legally purchasing a gun than he is about noncitizens coming across the borders and giving children I couldn’t take into a tattoo parlor but he wants to allow to choose to get major life altering surgery without consent of their parent? Pass. Hard pass.

I hope my Facebook friends will read the following. It's Victor Davis Hanson explaining radical changes in America. Yes, it is long, but it's worth reading and keeping for reference... Half the country thinks something has gone drastically wrong in America, to the point that it is rapidly becoming unrecognizable. Millions feel they are virtual lab rats in some grand research project conducted by entitled elites who could care less when the experiment blows up. Consider: Our military turns over $60 billion in state-of-the-art weapons to terrorists in Kabul and then flees in disgrace? Terrorist flags fly in place of incinerated Old Glory at the iconic Union Station in Washington as radical students and green card-holding guests deface statues with threats that “Hamas is coming” while spewing hatred toward Jews—and all with impunity? A wide-open border with 10 million unaudited illegal immigrants? Once beautiful downtowns resembling Nairobi or Cairo—as paralyzed mayors spend billions without knowing how to remedy the self-created disaster? Fast food drive-ins priced as if they were near gourmet restaurants? In truth, this apparent rapid cultural, economic, and political upheaval is well into its third decade. The disruptions are the results of the long-term effects of globalization and the high-tech revolution that brought enormous wealth into the hands of a tiny utopian elite. Almost overnight, every American household became a consumer of cellular phones and cameras, laptop computers, social media, and Google searches. We then entered into a virtual, soulless world of hedonism, narcissism, and the cheap, anonymous cruelty of click-bait, cancel culture, doxing, ghosting, blacklisting, and trolling. The toxic COVID lockdown and the DEI racist fixations that followed the George Floyd death only accelerated what had been an ongoing three-decade devolution. By 2000, a former market of 300 million American consumers was widening to a globalized 7 billion shoppers—at least for those mostly on the two coasts, whose expertise and merchandising were universalized in megaprofit high-tech, finance, investment, media, law, and entertainment. Americans of the 20th century had never quite seen anything like the mega-global celebrities from Michael Jackson to Taylor Swift, or a Bezos fortune of $170 billion, or the sorts who fly in their Gulfstream private jets to Davos, Sun Valley, and Aspen to lament the ignorance of the backward muscular classes and to plot their noblesse oblige salvation for them. Indeed, for those reliant on muscular jobs and the production of the material essentials of life—agriculture, fuels, construction, assembly, timber, mining, and services—their livelihoods were often xeroxed abroad. Millions of their jobs were offshored or outsourced to third- and second-world countries with cheaper labor, abundant natural resources, and less overhead, making investment “wiser” and more profitable. Anointed Americans in the “soft” or informational economy achieved levels of wealth never seen before in history. Meanwhile, Americans in the “hard” or concrete sectors saw stagnation in wages, job losses, and the erosion of middle-class life itself. That the universities, the media, the administrative state, entertainment, high tech, and the federal government were mostly on the coasts became a geographical force multiplier of the growing economic and cultural divide—perhaps in the manner that the Civil War became not just an ideological conflict but one of definable geography as well. Red-state and blue-state cultures followed these radical displacements in the global economy. Urban bicoastal America created an ethos and an accompanying narrative that it was blessed, rich, and all-knowing because it had been rightfully rewarded for supposedly being innately smarter, better credentialed, more worldly, and—given its wealth—more moral than the losers who fell behind. The new multibillionaires reinvented the Democrat Party into a concord of the hyper-rich and subsidized poor, abandoning the now caricatured working and losing middle classes. Indeed, a sort of atheistic, reverse Calvinism arose. The elite left-wing, monied classes were left-wing and monied precisely because of some sort of fated reward for their obvious innate superior virtue and wisdom—even as millions fled from failing blue states to their freer and more prosperous red counterparts. An entire moral vocabulary of condemnation followed to stigmatize those who supposedly lacked the know-how or morality to appreciate their elite benefactors—clingers, deplorables, irredeemables, hobbits, chumps, dregs, and “crazies,” to use the parlance of Barack Obama, John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden. Their targets were the relics of a vanishing America who did quirky things like salute the flag, go to church, believe there were still only two sexes, honor America as always far better than the alternative, and believe they were the muscles that kept the nation fed, fueled, and housed for one more day. The chief characteristic of the 21st-century American Revolution’s vast recalibrations in wealth was not just the transition from the muscular to the supposedly cerebral but from right to left. Look at the Fortune 400. There is a pattern in the rankings—mostly progressives and rich—and the winners’ wealth is usually not created from old sources like transportation, manufacturing, agriculture, or construction. The real multibillion-dollar fortunes in America are now in tech and investment. The hierarchies that own and manage Amazon, Apple, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Google, JPMorgan, Chase, Microsoft, or Morgan Stanley are now decidedly left-wing Democrats. That 21st-century reality marked a radical change from the past. Democrats now typically vastly outraise Republicans in most national campaigns. Their philanthropic foundations dwarf those of their right-wing rivals. Elite hard-left universities are flush with multibillion-dollar endowments in a manner unimaginable just 40 years ago. And they are no longer merely liberal but overwhelmingly woke and uncompromisingly hard left—with millions of dollars to waste on their unicorn chases of mandated equality and racist “anti-racism.” Hollywood, the media, new and old, and Wall Street are not just far wealthier than ever but far more intolerant and sanctimonious as well. It was not just money that gave the new left-wing oligarchy such clout in the administrative state, Wall Street, tech, the media, the corporate world, and the university. It was the accompanying assurance that, unlike other Americans, the lab rats of the mostly rural or interior parts of the country were exempt. They were to be free to apply their bankrupt agendas—open borders, DEI, globalism, climate change gospels, critical legal theory, modern monetary theory, critical race theory—to distant others. They assumed correctly that they were never really to be subject to the concrete and real-life disasters arising from the implementation of their ideology. Certainly, guilt over their largess, together with our 21st century secular update of sanctimonious New England puritanism, explain this overweening left-wing new zealotry to change the world, but largely at others’ expense. They are the descendants of Salem, who share the same superstitions and fanaticism to punish all who doubt their purity and wisdom. So arose the idea among elites of a borderless America, where yearly 2-3 million poor and downtrodden of Latin America, and soon the world at large, could surge into a humane and progressive America—without the ossified and illiberal idea of background checks, or legal “technicalities.” The arrivals’ abject poverty would remind the bigoted American middle classes of the need to expand their welfare state—as if a lifelong victim of the institutional oppression of Oaxaca, Mexico, became a legitimate victim of white capitalist America the very moment he set foot across a now mythical border. Importing massive poverty would remind the middle classes that racism and inequality were still on the rise. The locus classicus of this self-righteousness and contrition was emblemized when a few dozen illegal aliens were redirected toward tony Martha’s Vineyard. The locals immediately rushed to reveal to us two realities: 1) shower the illegals with food, upscale clothing, and other essentials to virtue signal their universal concern for the downtrodden; and 2) bus them out of the neighborhood as quickly as possible to where they “belonged”—either among the inner-city poor or struggling rural Hispanic communities of the American southwest. In the abstract, open borders were what any progressive nation should aspire to; in the concrete among the architects of such idealism—not in their backyard. Following the death of George Floyd, corporations, universities, and administrative state agencies rushed to compete to “level the playing field” by eroding meritocratic criteria such as calcified SAT tests, background checks, resumes, etc., and began hiring by race, gender, and sexual orientation. Tens of thousands of DEI commissars and their henchmen have now spread far beyond their birthplaces in the university (where elite schools routinely restrict so-called whites [ca. 65–70 percent of the population] to 20–40 percent of incoming classes). At some Ivy League schools and their kindred elite campuses, grades are “adjusted” to ensure 60-80 percent are A’s. Almost everything in revolutionary America has “evolved” beyond silly notions like “meritocracy” and “standards” and has instead become DEI hot-wired—from the hiring and promotion of airline pilots, selection of actors, management of the Secret Service, and the rank and file of FBI and CIA operatives to admissions to medical school, corporate boardrooms, and advertising. In response, a dangerous underground cynicism grows commensurately. As in the old Soviet Union, so too here arises our official “truth” besides the subterranean truth that most rely on when an incompetent Secret Service hierarchy allows a shooter to take potshots at a president’s head or there is a sharp rise in passenger jet near misses and go-arounds or students in mass demand exemptions from final schedules or expect amnesties when they storm campus buildings, or major corporations—like Disney, Target, Anheuser Busch, and John Deere—ostentatiously virtue signal. In sum, we are knee-deep in an authoritarian commissariat that we do not even dare formally acknowledge. DEI, like open borders, was predicated on the idea that the good one percent who ran the country was too good to experience the trickle-down from the commissar system it imposed on others. Ditto the top-down green revolution. We are to assume that sweaty truckers should have no problem juicing up their battery engines every 300 miles. Hispanics in Bakersfield should appreciate turning down their air conditioning when it hits 115. Lower-middle-class moms should learn the advantages of high-cost electric stoves and ovens once they are forcibly weaned off their cheap but too-hot natural gas appliances. Meanwhile, the sales of designer Italian cooking platforms, 10,000-square-foot air-conditioned second homes (the Obamas own three), private jets, yachts, and huge limo SUVs have reached record levels. The model is John Kerryism—or the rationale that to help the uneducated, dumber, and less moral people survive global warming, the enlightened need the tools to do it. So, they must avoid messy airports, 9-hour delays due to missed connections, and the stuffy, cramped middle seat on modern commercial jets. The idea of 100,000-200,000 legal immigrants admitted annually and meritocratically, charter schools in the inner city, beefed-up policing in our major urban areas, nationwide civic education, emphasis on assimilation, integration, and intermarriage of the melting pot, wide use of nuclear power—all the things that might make the life of the middle class more secure, more prosperous, and more confident—are deemed corny and passé. Again, what we got in the last quarter century was a shrill elite that subjects their Jacobin theories upon a distant other but has absolutely no intention of ever getting near the very disasters they wrought, much less suffering the collateral damage that was inevitable from their social engineering. Or, to put it another way, they were to be our few genius white-coated researchers while we were their many expendable lab rats.
