I saw late yesterday that James Earl Jones passed away, and I was glad to see you guys talking about it. I think probably my favorite movie that he's in (but I've seen so few) was Patriot Games. He had to be very subtle in that movie at times, and I think he played it masterfully.

Who here is surprised? Anyone? Bueller? Bombshell Undercover Sting Exposes How Google Is Actively Helping Kamala Harris

In yet another bombshell exposé, O'Keefe Media Group (OMG) has shed light on how Big Tech is up to its same old shenanigans in order to help Kamala Harris get elected. During a date with an undercover OMG journalist, Dakota Leazer, a growth strategist and ad salesman at Google, admitted that the tech giant has been manipulating its search engine advertisements to favor Harris ahead of the 2024 election.
According to Leazer Google’s ad campaigns are strategically designed to promote Harris while appearing to be legitimate news content.

Oh, one thing I wanted to throw out from that article: 

Leazer went on to explain that Google profits off sensational political headlines, feeding off the division and fear in the country. "These political headlines that are generating clicks, which generates ad revenue... it's all fueled out of hate," Leazer explained. He even admitted that fear is a key factor in driving profits. 

Which is why I tend to go with sites that have been demonetized by Google for news because I'm trying to NOT feed the beast.

David Muir, host of ABC's World News Tonight and debate co-moderator in tonight's presidential debate, always provides positive stories about Harris with zero negative statements. 

Media Research Center did the analysis. This isn't to say there is never any negtative statements of Harris: 

MRC did note that Muir’s show sometimes quoted Republicans critiquing Harris, but he never did so himself. No reporters or “nonpartisan sources” were featured calling out Harris’s many failures.

As article author Catherine Salgado put it, "Trump will have to be on his toes Tuesday because he’ll probably be debating both Harris and Muir. "

Kamala Harris is seemingly so leftist that when she has to have a political moment to shop like a regular person for food, she spends money at Penzey's, a spice company known for being super-leftist and hating Republicans.

The same people like Leazer will sit around pontificate about how people have to be evil, stupid, etc... to go along with the Nazi or Soviet propaganda machines, how the would have stood up to them.

Yet they are exactly the same breed.

Is it right no.

CA is also culpable, for not dealing with the mentally ill, the homeless, the squatters and drive people to extreme measures.

But that is exactly the plan.

Nate Silver's group's electoral college map currently predicts a decisive Trump victory.


FWIW.

CNN segment... yes, that CNN... deftly eviscerates Harris on her flip-flops from previously asserted RADICAL left-wing positions (e.g., taxpayer-funded "transition surgery" for immigrants; federal decriminalization for ALL kinds of drug possession).

One thing that makes me smile when I walk around my Deep Blue neighborhood is seeing the Harris lawns signs that bear the slogan, "I'm With Her". 


Because guess who else used that slogan?  LOLOLOLOL

This is rather striking because the candidates have always pivoted to the center after winning the nomination, right? But this time they aren't covering for her. 

I wonder why?

Cats and ducks and geese better scurry
With Haitians chasing them, in a hurry
Illegal Haitians with the fringe politics!

I meant to post this earlier today:

Ducks and geese and pets disappearing
People for their safety are fearing
With the illegal "migrants" appearing
And it just won't stop
Unless the election knocks the Democrats off the top

While I wish Jordan luck in pursuing this, I don't expect anything to happen. Wrongdoing will be found, but no one will end up losing a job or a position unless Trump wins.

Name me one (R) investigation since Bubba that actually concluded.

So, when does Cackle-fest commence?  Not that I'm watching it, since I don't have TV, but I'm curious.

BTW, anyone notice that this year election day coincides with "Bonfire" (i.e., "Guy Fawkes" Day)?  On which, traditionally, Fawkes is burnt in effigy?

The debate will be streamed. I think it actually starts at 9, but I won't watch it either. Will probably read the PJM liveblog

My internet connection has had several problems so I am trying to get everything back

Verizon Witless - but better than crapcast or landline. No FIOS for me - not available in this town.

So far Kackles is coherent.  She's lying, but coherently.

So much for the microphones being turned off and all that.

My assessment; this was not a good night for Trump.  Not awful, but not good.  The moderators were awful, but Trump let them and Harris get under his skin.  He was way too angry.
