A simmering, multi-decade rebellion finally and suddenly topples a key Iranian proxy in the same year that the U.S. and Israel come into open direct and in-direct conflict with Iran...

I'm looking forward to what later comes out about how this was engineered by the U.S. and Israeli governments.

The only way the Matt Gaetz appt. makes true sense (beyond having blackmail material on him with which to control him) is that it makes Speaker Mike Johnson's management of the House much easier. (Gaetz brought the motion to vacate that toppled McCarthy and been difficult since)

Given the way things are trending at the moment, including the Senate race in Ohio:

Election after election it seems that Republicans' internal polling apparatus has a better picture of the electorate than everyone else. I keep wondering how... #Election2024

If Trump wins and the Republicans have control of both chambers of Congress as well, I guarantee you that Republicans will do away with the filibuster because Trump will get tired of not getting his bills passed. (Vance will also cheer on the move.) #election2024

My father had expected a surge for Harris, particularly with women. I pointed out that we had not seen (reported) any notable surge by women voting early (in person or requesting mail-in ballot). Also that likely such a surge would show up in at least some of the polling. #election2024

Interesting business decision coming up for Apple:

Will next week's Macs, and the iPad Mini 7, be part of their Black Friday program?

In past years Apple has often excluded newly released products, but this year that would leave out a good portion of their (low-end) line up.

Vice President Harris' handling of the questions on tonight's CNN Town Hall reminded me of 'Prevent Defense' in a football game: trying not to do anything to case a loss but also not really trying to score.

Where's the MSM coverage of this?

TLDR: A Green Party leader in Ohio submitted a letter to Ohio requesting withdraw from the ballot of Dr. Stein's running mate, originally claiming that the running mate was aware, now acknowledging the running mate was not aware.

Given how often a certain party’s candidates express concern over a fair election, if Musk’s efforts to effectively buy votes is found to be illegal, those candidates should put their money where their mouth is and step down if they win having the support of Musk’s illegal efforts.

We can’t compare Harris’ standing to the 2020 election. Yes, Biden won, but that was with the ‘tailwind’ of Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Without the pandemic Biden would have lost. (Which makes invalid all the claims that 'only Biden can beat Trump'.)

Regarding Ken Klippenstein posting a link on The Twitter to the 'J.D. Vance dossier':

To me there is the consideration that this is criminally sourced material. While there is a place for 'civil disobedience' (e.g. some feel Boston Tea Party was appropriate), there is no indication here yet that the material warrants ignoring the criminal way it was obtained.

I keep finding blatant poor editing in the NYT 'live' election feed. The latest:

"Well within the margin of error" of what?

"Two national polls released today show an extremely tight presidential race. One from CNN found that 48 percent of likely voters supported Kamala Harris and 47 percent supported Donald Trump. Another, from Quinnipiac University, found 48 percent for Trump and 47 percent for Harris. Both results are well within the margin of error."

I'm from Ohio, and I do not endorse Bernie Moreno's message on women's healthcare:

"It’s a little crazy by the way, but — especially for women that are like past 50 — I’m thinking to myself, ‘I don’t think that’s an issue for you.”

Regarding the latest from Nate Silver:

Don't give in to others’ clickbait presentation, Harris did not take the lead.

Nate Silver himself writes: "the streams have crossed for the 3rd time in the campaign, though that sort of thing will happen a lot when you’re near 50/50. It's a toss-up."

If the government needs more than two months to act on emergency needs, how can we trust it to handle urgent but non-emergency needs, to say nothing of its pace on more mundane issues.

Is this any way to provide for the people? (Not just running a country, it's at all levels.) (2/2)
