The three of you who have followed me for more than a week will probably already know that I believed Harris was in fact behind despite what the polling seemed to indicate. Tune in Friday for the long version of why polls are so bad, but today I’m basing my new assessment on a different piece of evidence. I am now convinced that Harris is trailing much worse than we have been lead to believe. I’ve been couching my analysis … Continue reading “Harris IS Losing”
Twenty-One Days: The Final Furlong
What a race! Here they come, around the curve, heading for home! It’s too close to call! Turbo Trump seems to have his second wind but Hyped-Up Harris is pulling out all the stops! They’re neck and neck coming down the stretch. It’s going to be a photo finish! Eh, probably not. As exciting as having a close race makes things, the race is being called by a guy who left his glasses at home. Three weeks out there’s a … Continue reading “Twenty-One Days: The Final Furlong”
Is Harris Going to Win?
Probably not. We won’t know until all those votes get counted. So VOTE! You are one of those ‘give us the details’ people, aren’t you? Fine, let’s break the race down so far: Polls Real Clear Politics is our aggregator of choice. Habit is the main reason but you can call it ‘consistency’ if that sounds all sciency to you. We’re going to go fast through this first part so you may want to look at the blog or video … Continue reading “Is Harris Going to Win?”
A Word About Hurricane Helene
Dear Lord, Thank You that it wasn’t worse and for all those You protected. Now, Father, please give us as individuals, as communities, as churches and as a nation the strength to help all those in need. All those displaced. All those without supplies. All those without power. All those desperately seeking loved ones. All those hurt and injured. All those grieving. All those still missing. All those still in need of rescue. All of them. Grant us the strength … Continue reading “A Word About Hurricane Helene”
Why Are the Democrats so Desperate?
Okay, let’s get the important stuff done first. I was wrong about the debate – it was pretty lackluster. For political junkies it had lots to chew on but normal people probably found it kinda so-so. Harris performed better than expected – a lot better – and Trump showed a couple flashes of anger. He’s more entertaining on Twitter. Can’t get ’em all right. But owning one’s mistakes is the first step to not making the same stupid ones again. … Continue reading “Why Are the Democrats so Desperate?”
We Won’t Forget, 9/11/2001
It was twenty-three years ago. Seems like yesterday. Still doesn’t seem completely real. It wasn’t the first attack on the Twin Towers. In 1993 a truck bomb was set off in the basement of the North Tower, killing six and injuring over one thousand. The towers would reopen in less than six weeks despite the heavy damage. It was a deadly prelude to the September 11th attacks. I had heard about the first plane just before leaving for work as … Continue reading “We Won’t Forget, 9/11/2001”
Trump Versus Harris: The Long Awaited Debate Will the Fur Fly?
Probably not. But tune in anyway, this is gonna be a doozy! Trump is a lot of things, some of which annoy the heck out of virtually everyone. But the one thing he isn’t is a complete idiot. Coming out swinging is a stupid strategy and he knows it. Trump patiently let Biden destroy his own campaign. Trump can certainly do that again. Instead of a Trump slugfest, we’re gonna get to watch a Harris tap dance. Harris is going … Continue reading “Trump Versus Harris: The Long Awaited Debate Will the Fur Fly?”
Will Israel Cost Harris the Election?
Nah, Harris is busily doing that all by herself. But her ineptitude on the crisis in Israel is making things much worse for her. Neither Michigan nor Minnesota are worth the kind of grief the Biden admin – including Harris – is creating for itself. Sacrificing millions of votes not only in this election but in contests to come for the sake a few hundred thousand that might or might not even vote is gross political incompetence. The Jewish vote … Continue reading “Will Israel Cost Harris the Election?”
Who’s Winning Now? Harris or Trump?
Technically, neither. The election is November 5th. No one wins until votes are counted. Sure, I’m being snarky – it’s my schtick – but it brings up a valuable point to remember: only votes count. All else is hot air. That includes your beloved polls, my snarky commentary, the endless talking head parade on a variety of media, rally size or lack thereof, donations whether big or small, the whole campaigning shebang. All of it is just noise. At the … Continue reading “Who’s Winning Now? Harris or Trump?”
Will Harris Hold Onto Her Lead?
July 21, 2024: Democrats: Yay, we have a candidate that isn’t Biden! July 22, 2024: Democrats: Oh, our candidate is Harris. Yay? August 6, 2024: Democrats: Crap. Okay, I’m going to say this for the umpteenth time: the polls are crap. Yes, three months out, it’s STIL:L too early. Undecideds really start to solidify about two months out. Following the poll numbers is pointless. But who can resist a pretty bouncing ball? At this point in time, I’m still only … Continue reading “Will Harris Hold Onto Her Lead?”
