Hey anybody remember the original title of @BillStime's thread ?

The people "closest to Trump" And Tibsy swallows it (gladly) .

You know, but you won't admit it to yourself. .

I thought that they didn't vote, that is the Left's line, Meanwhile: Voter Fraud? What Voter Fraud? By John Hinderaker FTA: How many illegal ballots are cast in every election cycle? No one knows. Liberals assure us that the number is close to zero. But how could we know that? The hallmark of a successful fraud is that it is not discovered. And in most places, little effort is made to detect voter fraud, even when that is possible. Nevertheless, there are a large number of successful prosecutions of illegal voters. What do Americans think about voter fraud? They are against it. Even many Democrats. {snip} What is more interesting is the consensus in favor of ballot security. Thirty-six percent say Minnesota makes it too easy to vote, while only 1% say it is too hard. What exactly would voters like to see? Eighty-one percent support requiring identification to vote; 68% “strongly support” that measure, which Congressional Democrats tried to make illegal (unconstitutionally so) in all 50 states, just a few years ago. Like many other states, Minnesota has replaced Election Day with Election Autumn. Early voting begins on September 20, a solid 6 1/2 weeks before Election Autumn concludes. This isn’t by popular demand: 17% of Minnesotans want no early voting at all, while 77% want three weeks or less. Minnesota is the only state that allows same-day registration but does not have provisional ballots. In Minnesota, you can show up at the polls without evidence that you are a legal voter who resides in the precinct, and, if vouched for by a partisan representative stationed at the polling place, feed a ballot into the machine. Supposedly the county will follow up to see whether you are actually a qualified voter, but in the meantime, your ballot has been counted and there is no taking it back. Again, this is not what voters want: by 59% to 39%, Minnesotans say they want provisional ballots. Normally, when a political party sees that an issue is overwhelmingly popular–start with voter ID, at 81% support, and go down the line–they get behind it. Why wouldn’t Minnesota’s Democrats (or Democrats in any other state) get on the bandwagon? For some reason, Democrats in every state fight all efforts to improve ballot security tooth and nail, no matter how much public support those measures have. How can we explain such seemingly perverse behavior? I think the only reasonable interpretation is that Democrats consider voter fraud an important part of their electoral strategy, and therefore are determined to stymie any attempt to prevent it. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/09/voter-fraud-what-voter-fraud.php

Liz Cheney’s Kamala Endorsement: A Symptom of Elite Panic: The rush of people like the Cheneys to Harris’s banner is not a sign of strength; it is a sign of desperation. “We know what Trump would be like as president because he has already served a full four-year term. There were things to criticize—profligate spending and, above all, his handling of the COVID hysteria. But by and large, he had not just a successful but a wildly successful term. I have rehearsed his accomplishments here and elsewhere many times.” One wonders, repeatedly, exactly why they are so desperately afraid of losing an election, which ought to be a normal occurrence in America. The reasons they give are certainly nonsensical, which means there must be others. https://amgreatness.com/2024/09/08/liz-cheneys-kamala-endorsement-a-symptom-of-elite-panic/ .

The New York Times Writes Eulogy for Kamala's Momentum by Matt Margolis We’ve been saying for some time now that Kamala Harris’s honeymoon period in the polls would end, and for a while now, we’ve seen her lead shrink in the polling averages and some poor polling for Kamala in battleground states. But a new poll from the New York Times/Siena College shows Trump ahead nationally again. And you can bet the left is flipping out about it. "To me, the result is a bit surprising," writes Nate Cohn of the New York Times, before trying his best to quell panic from the left. "It’s the first lead for Mr. Trump in a major nonpartisan national survey in about a month. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/09/08/the-new-york-times-writes-eulogy-for-kamalas-momentum-n4932349

The Uniparty Turns Literal by Mark Steyn The Democrat convention featured a full set of the party's presidents, save for Jimmy Carter, who turns one hundred next month. But, otherwise, there were present not only both Obamas but both Clintons, and even both Bidens, even though almost every one in that sextet loathes the other five, and certainly all six despise Kamala. But they're Democrats first, so they suck it up. How's it going over on the Republican side? Well, former president George W Bush has announced he won't be endorsing anyone in this election. On the other hand, over two hundred Bush, McCain and Romney staffers have declared they're voting for Kamala. I'm not sure I've heard of any of them, but, as you know, the McCain and Romney campaigns remain bywords for hugely successful political operations, so no doubt many of those hundreds of staffers helped craft what are widely acknowledged to be two of the most impressive concession speeches in American history. And then there's Dick Cheney... So Ms Harris is now the only presidential candidate in history to be endorsed by both a Republican vice-president (Cheney) and a Kremlin strongman (Putin). Impressive. https://www.steynonline.com/14632/the-uniparty-turns-literal

Elon Musk on pace to become world’s first trillionaire by 2027, report says by Ramon Antonio Vargas Elon Musk is on pace to become the world’s first trillionaire by 2027, according to a new report from a group that tracks wealth. Informa Connect Academy’s finding about the boss of electric carmaker Tesla, private rocket company SpaceX and social media platform X (formerly Twitter) stems from the fact that Musk’s wealth has been growing at an average annual rate of 110%. He was also the world’s richest person, with $251bn, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, as the academy’s 2024 Trillion Dollar Club report began circulating Friday. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/sep/07/elon-musk-first-trillionaire-2027 .

Illegal Alien Arrested for Voting In U.S. Elections Sarah Arnold The Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) arrested an illegal immigrant from Guatemala for impersonating Americans and voting in federal elections. 42-year-old Angelica Maria Francisco was taken into custody after it was revealed she had been illegally voting in both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. She was charged with “false claims of citizenship in connection with voting, false statements in application for a United States passport, use of a United States passport obtained by false statements, and aggravated identity theft.” https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2024/09/08/illegal-alien-arrested-for-voting-in-us-elections-n2644461

The New NYT/Siena Poll Hammers Home the Reality that Harris Is Running Out of Gas. The most interesting number in the poll — the one that may tell the tale in November — came from NYT/Siena’s questions to likely voters: (1) Do you want a “major change” in this election? (2) Between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, which candidate “represented a major change” from Biden? On the first, over 60 percent said yes — a staggering number. And then in answer to question 2, only 25 percent of likely voters said Kamala Harris represented that change. Fifty-three percent said Trump did. The ruse isn’t working. The media can try to continue selling Harris as a “fresh start,” but voters are smart enough not to buy it for a second — if for no other reason than that she utterly refuses to tell voters what she actually is for in any way they are allowed to query. Voters want change, and if the race remains where it is now, they are about get it in the strangest way possible: heading back to the future with Donald Trump. If you want “major change,” why would you vote for the vice president who’s currently in power? https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-nyt-siena-poll-hammers-home-the-reality-that-harris-is-running-out-of-gas/ .

Hamas Just Made Fools of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Again According to the most recent reporting, the latest of several possible agreements has fallen through. Is it because Israel refused to make vast concessions to a terrorist group? Once more, the answer is no. Instead, Yahya Sinwar, the political and military head of Hamas, has scuttled the deal with another last-second bait-and-switch. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2024/09/07/hamas-just-made-fools-of-joe-biden-and-kamala-harris-again-n2179037
