PARTY PLATFORM A THING OF THE PAST – To use a familiar phrase – back in the day – a party platform, outlining the party’s agenda, was an expected product of the convention; a kind of “to do list” to enable voters to understand the party’s goals. This year it has gone the way of those “smoke-filled rooms.”… read more

I VOTED IN PERSON EARLY, a privilege I respect, and look forward to each Election Day, but it wasn’t without its hiccups. The polling location was supposed to open at 8 a.m., but thankfully I didn’t intend to go that early. When I arrived at 9 a.m., I learned about the delayed opening and stories of people who left, deciding not to wait. … read more
The last debate … ho hum … the “Big Guy” confirmed … trusting the FBI … Trump rises in Rasmussen poll … the data from Trump rallies … “Professor” Beto … and young blacks for Trump
THE LAST DEBATE, ho hum. The best gotcha line that President Trump used repeatedly was his reminder to Joe Biden that “you had eight years, why didn’t you get that done?” I regret that he didn’t remind the audience that 56 percent of the American believe they are doing better than they were four years ago. … read more

AS I PREPARED TO PUBLISH THIS BLOG, the Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and FBI Director Chris Wray held a press conference to alert Americans that Iran and Russia were involved in attempt to spread false information using the social media to upset our election.
Unfortunately, they didn’t provide examples of the misinformation material, which would be helpful to Americans to understand what they should be looking for in their e-mails and Internet browsing.… read more
The Biden laptop saga … where is it going? … Cindy McCain’s commercial for Biden … NFL announcers for Harris-Biden … and the questionable politics of the Catholics
NEARLY A WEEK AGO, the New York Post, a reputable newspaper, broke a story revealing details they obtained from a laptop supposedly left for repairs caused by water damage. It bore a sticker from the Beau Biden Foundation.
The Post published the contents of e-mails, including one, dated April 17, 2015, that alleges that Hunter Biden introduced his father, the Democrat candidate for president, to an advisor to the board of Burisma on which Hunter was a member.… read more
Biden’s strategy … deny and delay … proves impeachment was a sham … those double digit leads … who do you believe? … he would do what for Trump? … and two issues to ponder
THOSE HUNTER BIDEN E-MAILS – In my October 15, 2020 blog posting, I told you that I would not comment on the content of documents that have not been proven to be authentic. I choose not to publish my opinion based on “if true” information.
I’m not alone. John Hinderaker asks, “How do we know the Hunter/Joe Biden documents are real?… read more
Talk of GOP Senators deserting Trump … support for James for Senate in Michigan … campaigns in Wisconsin … letters to WSJ want Durham report released … Biden’s tax plan … and a Noonan turnabout
RUMORS ABOUND about Republican Senators distancing themselves from President Trump, not because of the virus, but because they’re believing the polls and the media message that the president will lose in a blood bath.
Nebraska’s Sen. Ben Sasse, was taken in, and in a telephone townhall event with constituents, repeated the thought, echoing the anti-Trump position of former Sen.… read more

THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE THAT WAS – You will remember that C-Span’s Steve Scully, who was supposed to moderate the second presidential debate, claimed that his Twitter account had been hacked when an exchange with Trump antagonist Anthony Scaramucci was uncovered.

WHAT NOW BROWN COW? – Democrat presidential challenger Joe Biden has been highly critical of the manner in which President Trump has handled the Chinese virus outbreak. There’s no reason to repeat his disparaging remarks about the president’s efforts.

Speaking of ‘boneheads’ … religious freedom not on Democrat agenda … Peggy Noonan insults women … plotters to kidnap Whitmer no friends of Trump … Dem scare tactic on health care … and my recent typo
HERE’S THE DEAL – Joe Biden and Kamala Harris don’t want voters to know their position on packing the Supreme Court until after the election.
