who officials marked as U.S. citizens when they hadn't even provided documentary proof

Whoever these "officials" are need to see the inside of a jail cell for a minimum of five years. The only effective and lasting way to put a stop to all this election tampering. These official poll worker types are grass roots operatives for the Democrat party. One week in jail would mentally break them. Five years would be a life altering event which it should be. It would most likely ruin their lives. But it would prevent nearly all of this tampering going forward.

PA poll workers tell people to hand over registration/ballots. “We’ll put them in the machine later.”

Oh, Hell No! Crooked A-holes.

Hack "journalists" getting what they deserve.

Well done, Hugh Hewitt.

A Trump Landslide Is Still Possible
By John Kudla

I wrote a similar article when Joe Biden was still a presidential candidate. Back then, the polls suggested that a Trump landslide was a real possibility. Now the polls are closer, and some pollsters claim that Kamala Harris will win. I disagree.

Please remember that most of what you are about to read is my opinion based on an analysis of political articles and polling data. As such, it should be taken with a grain of salt.

The reason you should be both doubtful and cautiously optimistic is simple. Although the polls say the election will be close, Trump is currently in the best position polling-wise of any of his three presidential campaigns.

Let’s set the stage for this election. Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democrat elite raided the U.S. Treasury to the tune of over $3 trillion during their first two years in office. This was done under the guise of the American Rescue Plan, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the CHIPS Act, and the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act. The resulting tidal wave of government cash caused inflation to spike, pushing prices up over 20% in four years. Everything from food and electricity to insurance and interest rates went up and have stayed up.

At the same time, President Biden and Border Czar Harris allowed almost anyone to illegally cross our borders. Estimates are that around 8 million people crossed the border, with another 1.5 million got-aways not apprehended by the Border Patrol. According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, over 660,000 have criminal histories. The cost to house, feed, and care for these people is at least $150 billion/year nationwide. That money could have gone to U.S. citizens to help pay for natural disasters and other problems.

Crime related to illegal immigration is rising. According to revised FBI estimates, violent crime rose by 4.5% in 2022. Despite incomplete FBI statistics and mainstream media attempts to whitewash the issue, a recent study discovered that illegals are roughly twice as likely to be in prison in New York as other state residents, four times as likely in New Jersey, and five times as likely in Arizona. There have been many high-profile crimes involving illegals and foreign gang members in Colorado, Georgia, and many other states.

I could name many other issues — everything from Afghanistan to electric vehicle mandates to DIE, weaponization of the Justice Department and the FBI, and on and on.

All of this ill use and poor judgment has produced some damning polling statistics. According to the Real Clear Politics averages, roughly 64% of voters believe that the country is on the wrong track. Roughly 60% disapprove of Biden’s handling of the economy, inflation, and immigration. In an Economist/YouGov poll, only 35% said they were better off now than four years ago. In an Atlas Intel poll, 52% said immigration was the greatest challenge for the U.S. In a CBS News poll, 62% were in favor of a program to deport all illegal aliens. Since Kamala said she would have done nothing different from Biden, these numbers could prove to be a liability.

This may have already happened in response to Biden’s left-wing policies. According to Gallup, Republicans now have a three-point party affiliation advantage for the first time in the thirty-two years Gallup has been keeping records. Pew Research says the Democrat/Republican registration numbers are almost even.

Polls show that Kamala will get less support from blacks and Hispanics than Biden in 2020. Pew Research claims that Biden received 92% of the Black vote and 59% of the Hispanic vote. According to the Economist/YouGov poll, Kamala has 80% of the black vote and 55% of the Hispanic vote. Atlas Intel says Kamala gets only 67% of the black vote and 53% of the Hispanic vote.

The accuracy of political polls over the past two presidential elections has been poor. In 2016, the RCP average overestimated Hillary’s vote by roughly one point nationally. No big deal there. However, the average miss was 7.4 points in states where Trump won. Post-election, the culprit was identified as an undercount of white men and women without a college degree. Polling organizations later claimed they had fixed the problem.

In 2020, the RCP average overstated Biden’s lead by 2.7 points nationally. State polls overestimated Biden’s lead by an average of 4.3 points. The problem was then identified as a combination of low-trust voters, late-deciding voters, and non-response bias, meaning conservatives who refused to answer polls. The possibility that Trump voters might lie to the pollsters was dismissed; however, I think the late-deciding voters were going to vote for Trump all along.

Pollsters claim they have solved what they are now calling the low-propensity Trump voter issue, but they say polling these voters requires more time and money. My personal opinion is that the pollsters don’t have a clue. The hidden/secret/ignored/unpolled Trump vote is real and will make its presence felt. If you want my long take on the hidden Trump vote, click here.

This election has seven battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. According to the RCP averages, Trump has the lead in all seven. Whether this holds up when the votes are counted remains to be seen.

Either candidate can win just three battleground states and become the 47th president. For example, if Trump wins a combination of Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, it is game over. Kamala can do the same thing.

There is something called the Electoral College bias chart, which claims to tie the popular vote to the number of electoral votes Trump will win. According to this chart, even if Kamala wins the popular vote by a margin of 2 points, Trump will win the Electoral College and the presidency. If Kamala’s margin is anything less than 2 points, chances are Trump will pick up more than the 270 electoral votes he needs. Currently, the RCP national polling average shows the race tied. So, advantage Trump.

What happens if Trump outperforms the polls? If he gets a 1% bump, he will probably sweep the battleground states. That will guarantee him 312 electoral votes. Some Democrat-leaning states could fall if he gets a 2–3% bump. This means Minnesota, Virginia, New Mexico, New Hampshire, and Maine.

My take is that New Mexico and New Hampshire are the most likely to go Trump. A recent poll suggests Trump has a slight lead in the Shire. Virginia is unlikely to flip due to the number of government workers who reside there.

I’m not sure about Minnesota. When I was a Democrat years ago, I voted for Jimmy Carter. Carter was (and still is) a good man but a lousy president. The next election, I voted for Reagan. In a similar twist, I would tell the good Democrats there to vote for Trump. If you don’t like the result, you can vote for a Democrat next time.

I know not what course others may take, but as for me, I intend to settle in with a few brews and a big bag of chips, cholesterol be damned, and watch CNN on election night. I think it’s gonna be good.

A while back I mentioned not seeing very many campaign signs here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Well that has sure changed, the H&W signs have blossomed all around town. I have also seen more Trump signs but the vast majority are for Dims. What I don't understand, even though CR has a Dingbatocratic leaning, is the number of H&W signs in yards of the more expensive homes. I would have expected seeing them in certain parts of the city but not to the effect that they are in front of very high value properties. It's like a bunch of Hollywood personalities have moved into the area.

The Dems are the party of the elitists. Many of them benefit from big government... if not directly, indirectly. Food stamps and welfare checks are chump change compared to government contracts.

Having the polls being reported as being neck and neck or within a few percent of each other is the vehicle used when you want to cheat. It’s easier to cheat by adding 2% bogus votes than when it’s 15%

As far as the AZ Secretary being ‘demanded’ to turn everything over on noon Monday, he likely won’t do it and the judge will just shrug and say ‘I tried’ rather than send the bastard to prison in Florence awaiting a trial

This is incredible. You guys will love this.

The latest nonsense from an ever-more-frantic MSM/Left is:

OMFG TRUMP SAID LIZ CHENEY SHOULD BE PUT IN FRONT OF A FIRING SQUAD!

When he said no such thing, all Trump said was something to the effect of “maybe she should pick up a rifle and go serve in one of the wars that she keeps pushing”

^^^^^

Yes, this new attack from the left is especially egregious. The desperation is oozing out of every leftist and hack media's pores.

To paraphrase.
Trump stated Lez Chaney is a (war)"hawk" and should face the weapons that our troops face. Then maybe she would understand her actions have consequences.

I agree.

It is not as the GDCs are trying so hard spin it. Hook wires up to that and you could power the world for years.

Obama FBI Ran Off-The-Books 'Honeypot' Operation On Trump Campaign In 2015

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...n-2015-whistleblower


Whistleblower: James Comey had FBI ‘honey pot’ spies infiltrate Trump’s 2016 campaign

Alleged off-the-books investigation predated FBI's Russia collusion probe

https://www.washingtontimes.co...oney-pot-spies-infi/

The House Judiciary Committee is examining a whistleblower report that the FBI targeted Donald Trump soon after he announced his presidential campaign in June 2015, an off-the-books operation ordered by FBI Director James B. Comey that predated the Crossfire Hurricane operation.

An FBI agent involved in the probe revealed the off-the-books criminal investigation on Tuesday in a protected disclosure sent to the committee.

The whistleblower disclosure said two female FBI undercover agents infiltrated Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign at high levels and were directed to act as “honeypots” while traveling with Mr. Trump and his campaign staff on the trail.

According to the disclosure, which The Washington Times reviewed, the investigation differed from the later Crossfire Hurricane counterintelligence operation targeting Russian collusion. It said the early off-the-books probe was a criminal investigation targeting Mr. Trump and his 2016 presidential campaign staff.

The agent “personally knew” that Mr. Comey ordered an FBI investigation against Mr. Trump and that Mr. Comey “personally directed it,” according to the disclosure.

The off-the-books investigation did not appear to target a specific crime but was more of what agents would describe as a fishing expedition to find something incriminating about Mr. Trump.

The Times reached out to the FBI and Mr. Comey for comment.

A House Judiciary Committee spokesman said the committee received the whistleblower allegations and “plans to look into them.”

The whistleblower said the undercover operation was hidden from Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz, who investigated misconduct in the bureau’s probe of the Trump campaign.

The whistleblower disclosure also said the secret investigation may indicate institutional bias against Mr. Trump, though “it does not appear that any information about this investigation was turned over to Trump’s criminal defense counsels.”

Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker said the report, if true, is a “booming, egregious violation” of the rules governing the attorney general and the FBI.

“It’s an unpredicated infiltration of a presidential campaign which is sensitive,” he told The Times. “It’s sensitive to the point where it would have to have been approved by the [attorney general] and … would have to be predicated. And in this case, I’m not hearing any predication. It would have to be on the books anyway, regardless.”

Mr. Trump launched his first presidential campaign on June 16, 2015, at Trump Tower in New York City, about a year before the FBI opened the Crossfire Hurricane, a counterintelligence investigation into whether members of the Trump campaign coordinated, knowingly or unknowingly, with the Russian government’s efforts to meddle in the 2016 presidential election.

The FBI investigation and a Justice Department special counsel probe did not find evidence of Trump-Russia collusion.

The earlier off-the-books investigation, according to the disclosure, “had no predicated foundation, so Mr. Comey personally directed the investigation without creating an official case file in Sentinel or any other FBI system.”

The disclosure notes that the FBI has multiple methods of concealing highly sensitive investigations, so Mr. Comey did not have a “legitimate reason” to avoid creating a case file in the FBI’s system.

Mr. Comey served as director of the FBI from 2013 until May 2017, when President Trump fired him.

The disclosure said Deputy Director Dave Bowdich and Paul Abbate, assistant director in charge of the Washington field office, were also involved in helping Mr. Comey execute the secret probe.

The undercover “honeypot” agents targeted Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, according to the whistleblower.

Mr. Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to the felony charge of making false statements to the FBI in October 2017 about his contacts related to U.S.-Russia relations.

Mr. Trump pardoned him in 2020, two years after he served 12 days in federal prison and was placed on a one-year supervised release.

Justice Department documents declassified in April 2020 revealed that FBI agent Curtis Heide was the handler for a confidential human source who recorded Mr. Papadopoulos.

In the recordings, Mr. Papadopoulos adamantly denied that the Trump campaign was involved in hacking the Democratic National Committee’s emails in 2016.

He rebuffed claims that the Trump campaign was working with Russia.

Mr. Papadopoulos’ denials were withheld from the FBI’s warrant application to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, according to documents released by Attorney General William P. Barr.

In a December 2019 report, Mr. Horowitz listed the failure to include Mr. Papadopoulos’ denials as two of 17 “significant inaccuracies and omissions” in the FBI’s application for court permission to spy on Trump campaign figure Carter Page.

The FBI whistleblower said the off-the-books investigation was closed because a newspaper obtained a photograph of one of the undercover agents and was about to publish it.

The FBI press office, according to the agent’s disclosure, misled the newspaper by claiming the photograph was of an FBI informant, not an undercover agent. The FBI said the informant would be killed if the photograph was published.

Additionally, the FBI employee alleged that one of the undercover agents agreed to be transferred to the CIA so she would not be available as a potential witness, and another bureau employee involved in the operation was rewarded for her activities with a promotion and now is a high-level FBI executive.

“The FBI employee personally observed one or more employees in the FBI being directed to never discuss the operation with anyone ever again, which included talking with other people involved in the operation,” the disclosure states.
