The wife of my buddy had extensive back surgery on Monday and will be released to skilled nursing on Friday. This is the friend who lost his vision six days after he was vaccinated. He's never been alone since going blind and is, therefore, experiencing a lot of stress.

I'm leaving for his place in the morning and will do whatever I can to help over the next two weeks. Even just giving him someone to talk to and providing transportation will mean a lot to him.

My wife and I will be apart for Thanksgiving, but we feel that this is the right thing to do.

Undecided Young Voters Reveal Why They Chose Trump: ‘Make America Normal Again’

by Hannah Knudsen
Breitbart.com

When I had my son almost a year ago, I had a hemorrhage. And I live in a state with an abortion ban. And I was still able to receive lifesaving care. I had a visceral reaction to people saying I wouldn’t have received care, because it’s a lie. If they’re preying on people’s ignorance and, quite frankly, their stupidity and their fear, I want nothing to do with it.

...odd how the investigation was closed this morning and all of a sudden there is "NEW EVIDENCE" on the evening news. I hope they piss him off even more than he is pissed off now. I want him spending evenings sharpening his bayonet in preparation for running the justice department. NO PRISONERS!

Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!

Eibit > For those who might have forgotten what all the Matt Gaetz fuss was about. Dems claim to have all this evidence, but dismissed the case cause there was no proof. (...whut?)


Two words. Blasey Ford.
I don't remember the skank who accused Trump of 'raping her in a department store dressing room' - with NO evidence.

But this reeks of demo-rat lies, slanders, and innuendos.

And let us not forget the 'YOU MUST Believe the Woman' . . . (except for when the criminal is a demo-rat polotician.)

Is Matt Gaetz the sort who will hang demo-rat criminal evil-doers? Then I don't care. Give him the JOB.

Zim.

...no one is above the law except the Bucks County Democratic Officials!

The Bucks County Commissioners are taking the loss of their Senate seat to a Republican particularly hard. Usually, this is a moment for us to point and laugh, but they have decided to count ballots illegally to get the result they want. They know it's against the law, they said they know it, but they said they don't care. They basically dared a judge to stop them.

Greg Price (@greg_price11) ~ The Democrat Bucks County Commissioners just voted to count misdated and undated mail in ballots to try and help Bob Casey and one of them straight up says that she knows it's illegal but simply does not care.

Dems are trying to steal an election in PA.

Greg Price (@greg_price11) ~ Her phone number appears to be on her website.

Would be a shame if she got flooded with calls from people telling her to stop trying to steal an election that her candidate lost.

Maybe people should call her and ask her why she is doing illegal things.

MissUSA1776 (@real_miss_kim) ~ Ummm ... how ‘bout no, lady?

Erich Hartmann (@erichhartmann) ~ This will not end well. 🫤

ZitoSalena (@ZitoSalena) ~ Sweet fancy Moses the arrogance and shamelessness of these County Commissioners. A leader in the Pennsylvania Democratic Party needs to step up right now and call them out on this.

They certainly don't care about following the law.

Live Monitor (@amlivemon) ~ Trump DOJ should prosecute this witch to the fullest extent of the law.

John Peganto (@TheRepublic22) ~ Bob Casey — what a disgrace. Loses an election and refuses to give up power. Shameful way to end his career!

Casey should come out and say he doesn't want this and ask them to stop breaking the law in his name.

Ali (@DilwrAli) ~ I’m sorry, but Democrats are actually trying to steal the PA Senate election.

In front of our faces.

Mike Licona (@DrMikeLicona) ~ Once again, the Democrats are cheating in elections. They are breaking the law, admit it, and don't care.

Live Monitor (@amlivemon) ~ This is why I thought PA would go to Harris, LOL ... this is just unbelievable.

They're frustrated because it was too big to rig this time.

EJ (@Ejmiller25) ~ The DOJ should indict her on January 21st.

Irish Patriot (@IrishPatri0t) ~ OK, now I'm actually starting to believe the stealing allegations.

Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) ~ This is what rigging an election looks like.

And while I'm aware the courts will slap these idiots down, what if the courts didn't? What if this never went public? What *don't* you know about?

If you hate "stolen election" talk, you should be screaming about this.

This is why the public has lost trust in the process. The court shouldn't need to slap this down. They should follow the law.

'What an Endorsement'! Andrew McCabe Warns Matt Gaetz Would 'Tear Things Up' at the FBI

http://twitchy.com/dougp/2024/11/14/what-an-endorsement-andrew-mccabe-warns-matt-gaetz-would-tear-things-up-at-the-fbi-n2403790

Andrew McCabe is a former deputy director of the FBI. For anybody who doesn't remember why McCabe's the "former" deputy director, here's a reminder of one of those reasons:

http://oig.justice.gov/reports/2018/o20180413.pdf

As detailed in this report, the OIG found that then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe lacked candor, including under oath, on multiple occasions in connection with describing his role in connection with a disclosure to the WSJ, and that this conduct violated FBI Offense Codes 2.5 and 2.6. The OIG also concluded that McCabe’s disclosure of the existence of an ongoing investigation in the manner described in this report violated the FBI’s and the Department’s media policy and constituted misconduct.

The OIG is issuing this report to the FBI for such action that it deems to be appropriate.

Ironically, one of the people who offered proof showing that things need to be shaken up at the FBI (along with Strzok, Page, etc.) is now warning that if somebody like Matt Gaetz is the Attorney General things will be shaken up at the FBI:

Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) ~ Andy McCabe: “Matt Gaetz is obviously wholly unqualified for this job. He’s someone who, I mean, quite frankly, couldn’t get hired by the FBI if he was — had he ever been interested in that, which I’m sure he never was, probably couldn’t qualify for a clearance.�
Video ~ http://twitter.com/i/status/1857052515520348638

Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) ~ NEW: Former deputy director of the FBI Andrew McCabe fumes over Trump's nomination of Matt Gaetz, says he will "tear things up" at the FBI.

What an endorsement.

"Matt Gaetz is obviously wholly unqualified for this job. He’s someone who couldn’t get hired by the FBI if he had ever been interested in that."

"He is singularly a disruptor. He is someone who’s been selected because of his interest and desire to go into the organization and tear things apart, likely get rid of people, stop doing a lot of the work that the Justice Department is currently doing."

"We’ve spent a lot of months debating ... whether [Trump's] actually going to try to really dismantle those organizations in a serious way. I think the selection of Matt Gaetz is a clear indication ..."

Joe Concha sums up just how laughable this is considering the source:

Joe Concha (@JoeConchaTV) ~ McCabe was fired from the FBI and promptly signed by CNN to opine about ethics, so there’s that ...

CNN used to regularly have Dan Rather on a show called "Reliable Sources" so this kind of thing is their brand.

Old School Eddie (@Old_SchoolEddie) ~ LMAO ... "tear things up" at the FBI! Exactly what we want him to do! That was a perfect and precise endorsement!

President Trump

I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).

For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!

Kamala Harris Campaign Gave $500k to Al Sharpton’s Nonprofit Weeks Before Glowing Interview With Anti-Semitic MSNBC Host

Sharpton touted Harris's 'extraordinary historic campaign' in interview just weeks after donation

http://freebeacon.com/elections/kamala-harris-campaign-gave-500k-to-al-sharptons-nonprofit-weeks-before-glowing-interview-with-anti-semitic-msnbc-host/

The Washington Free Beacon
November 12, 2024

Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign donated $500,000 to Al Sharpton’s nonprofit organization just weeks before the anti-Semitic MSNBC host—who once said that "diamond merchant" Jews have the "blood of innocent babies" on their hands—conducted a friendly interview with Harris.

The campaign’s remittance to Sharpton’s National Action Network was part of a flurry of donations—$5.4 million in all—to black and Latino advocacy groups that seem aimed at winning Harris support from those constituencies. Harris’s campaign gave two payments of $250,000 to National Action Network on Sept. 5 and Oct. 1, according to campaign finance records.

On Oct. 3, Sharpton aired a video of Harris wishing him happy birthday on his MSNBC weekend show, PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton. "Happy birthday, Rev," Harris said, using Sharpton’s nickname. "You have been over all of your years such an extraordinary leader. You have been a voice of truth, a voice of conscience."

Sharpton, 70, conducted a glowing interview with Harris on Oct. 20 in which he touted her "extraordinary historic campaign" while referring to Trump as "hostile and erratic." His questions lined up closely with messages that Harris sought to highlight on the campaign trail. Sharpton addressed concerns among black voters—especially black men—about Harris’s record as a prosecutor in California, where she was given the nickname "Kamala the Cop." Sharpton brought up Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman elected to Congress, and one of Harris’s personal heroes, to put Harris’s candidacy in historical perspective. Sharpton asked Harris whether men who opposed her were "misogynistic."

Sharpton did not disclose payments from the Harris campaign during either segment with the candidate. National Action Network did not respond to requests for comment. MSNBC also did not respond to comment requests.

Harris’s donations to National Action Network and similar groups were part of a $1 billion spending spree that has sparked heartache and soul-searching within the Democratic Party, which lost the popular vote to a Republican candidate for the first time since 2004. The campaign, which ended $20 million in debt, leaned heavily on celebrities, influencers, and other high-profile Harris backers to make her case to voters. Her campaign gave $1 million to the production company of Oprah Winfrey, and paid a six-figure sum to create a set for Harris’s interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the Washington Examiner reported.

Team Harris donated to the National Urban League ($2 million), the Black Economic Alliance ($150,000), and Black Church PAC ($150,000). The campaign gave donations to lesser-known groups like the Haitian Ladies Fund ($30,000) and International Free and Accepted Modern Masons ($150,000), a black freemasons organization, according to campaign finance disclosures. The Black Economic Alliance hosted a video call for 5,000 attendees days before the election to urge black men to vote for Harris. Vote to Live Action Fund, which received $275,000 from the Harris campaign, launched a $4 million initiative in October to pressure black men to vote. Harris spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on an initiative to appeal to black church voters. Two of the organizations, Black Church PAC and the Institute of Church Administration and Management ($250,000), are linked to Frederick Haynes, an anti-Israel pastor who has worked with Harris for years on liberal causes.

The campaign gave to Casa in Action ($120,000), the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada ($105,000), and Somos Votantes ($120,000), to mobilize Latino voters in Nevada, Pennsylvania, and other swing states. The lavish giveaways seemingly failed given Harris’s historically poor performance with black and Latino voters.

Sharpton reportedly earns a seven-figure salary from MSNBC, and is paid handsomely by National Action Network, which he founded in 1991. The nonprofit paid Sharpton around $650,000 in 2021 out of $7 million in revenues, and spent another $940,000 that year for "transportation services" to the private jet firm Apollo Jets and the limousine company Carey International.

It’s not the first time Sharpton has faced conflict of interest concerns regarding donations to his group, which he launched in 1991. The tobacco company R.J. Reynolds has donated heavily to Sharpton’s network. Sharpton, for his part, has publicly opposed a ban on menthol cigarettes, raising concerns that the activist preacher is being paid off to promote a harmful product popular with black Americans.

Sharpton has become an influential figure in mainstream Democratic circles after rising to national prominence in the 1990s for his involvement in anti-Semitic causes. He once taunted Jews to "pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house." In 1991, he provoked the Crown Heights riots in Brooklyn, one of the worst anti-Semitic outbursts in American history. In 1995, Sharpton protested against the Jewish owner of Freddy’s Fashion Mart, whom he called a "white interloper." A gunman who had attended Sharpton’s protests later murdered seven people in the store.
