Stories, polls, and predictions will be wild today; Set your Bogusity Meters to super-high-maximum-plus

It turns out that our ol' friend, Damian Bennett, has not and will not be voting early as he is a vote-on-the-day guy

Forty-eight hour madness commences. Stories, polls, and predictions will be wild today. Set your Bogusity* Meters to super-high-maximum-plus. [These emails post a day behind. Will sync up homestretch countdown by tomorrow.]
* bo•gus•it•y, (bō'gŏs'ĭ-tē), n. = 1. Contemptuous discordance with the truth or facts; 2. A lie or lies supporting another lie or lies; 3. Utter bogusness; 4. Political discourse and discursus.
Finger-licking “Trunalimunumaprzure!
Nice.
Nicer.
More Nicer.
You can enjoy it, but you can't bank it. Yet.

[Keeping in mind that we are past October tidy-up month, are the squishy pollsters trying to look brave and accurate two days out? It only hurts to believe if DJT loses, so Bogusity Meter: 1¼]
The Fix.
  • Biden-Harris Admin Disenfranchises Overseas Military November 2, 2024
    Reps. Brian Mast (FL-R), Bill Huizenga (MI-R), and Mike Waltz (FL-R) have sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, expressing “grave concern”...that the stockpile of absentee ballots has reportedly been “depleted and not replenished,” likely having a negative impact upon service members’ ability to vote.

  • BIG TECH KNEW BIDEN LAPTOP SUPPRESSION WOULD INFLUENCE 2020 ELECTION, Wanted Big Guy's Favor November 3, 2024
    Big Tech platforms had shockingly frank internal conversations about their efforts to sway the 2020 presidential election, even stating explicitly they wanted to be on the good side of a Biden-Harris administration, according to communications released by the House Judiciary Committee days before an election in which mainstream media are promoting censorship of conservative voices.
    The Republican-led Weaponization of the Federal Government Subcommittee published an 82- interim staff report Wednesday on how the FBI "prebunked" allegations about Biden family "corruption," and 641-page version with the full communications
    , providing the clearest evidence yet that tech platforms understood their role inevitably paved the way for the Democratic ticket.

  • Trans Activist's Organization Sent Thousands Of Texts Falsely Telling Pennsylvanians They Had Already Voted November 2, 2024
    AllVote spokesperson Charlotte Clymer told CNN the organization estimates 'several thousand registered voters were affected by our error' - referring to the text messages received by Pennsylvania voters over the weekend.

  • “We’re Not Going To Allow Them To Steal It”: Rep. Raskin (MD-D) Repeats Trump-like Reservation On Accepting Election Results (Johathan Turley) November 2, 2024
    On Bill Maher’s HBO Show on Friday, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) appeared to repeat his reservation about accepting a Trump win in the presidential election. Raskin said that Democrats will only support a “free and fair election.” Trump was widely criticized for the same position when he said “If everything’s honest, I’ll gladly accept the results.”
    Raskin previously said that he would not guarantee certifying Trump and that, if he wins, he may be declared as disqualified by Congress: “It’s going to be up to us on January 6th, 2025 to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he’s disqualified. And then we need bodyguards for everybody and civil war conditions.”

    [Raskin and Schiff are the twin snakes of the Democrat caduceus, entwining the wand of lies. How do these people get elected? Are CA CD30 and MD CD8 moron repositories? Bogusity Meter: 10+; GFY Meter: a hard 13]
  • Left-wing Firm Tied To Voter Registration 'Scheme' Goes Dark And Then Defunct November 3, 2024
    “Where there’s fire, there’s fire,” said Hogan Gidley, of the Center for Election Integrity. “Thousands of instances of reported voter registration fraud have now been confirmed throughout Pennsylvania.”

  • Rattled Kamala Harris Turns On Nevada Rally Hecklers With Rambling Scold November 1, 2024
    A clearly flustered Vice President Kamala Harris turned on protesters who heckled her during a Nevada rally Thursday (Video):  [Protests.] “You know what? Let me say something about this. We are here because we are fighting for a democracy. Fighting for a democracy. And understand the difference here. Understand the difference here, moving forward. Moving forward, understand the difference here. What we are looking at is a difference in this election – let’s move forward and see where we are because on the issue, for example, freedom of choice.” [Protests.] “That’s OK. That’s alright. That’s OK” 
    [This seems biased reportage. KA-mala is trying to recover her message and repetition is just a rhetorical tool here to pull the audience back and refocus herself. Bogusity Meter: 8⅜]
  • Prominent White Supremacist Richard Spencer Endorses Kamala Harris November 2, 2024
    Richard Spencer, an avowed racist, antisemite and admirer of Nazism who coined the term “alt-right” and was a featured speaker when he took part in the deadly 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Va., called Harris the “best manager of the American empire.”
    [This is a 'taint' endorsement. Spencer wants to elevate his own visibility with a sensational nod to KA-mala, not bring any benefit to H-W. Spencer also knows his endorsement is never sought because with it comes instant political discord. Unlike the Cheneys, who bring an imaginary something to H-W, it is doubtful KA-mala will embrace Spencer. Bogusity Meter: Solid 9]
  • Leftists Predict Hysterical Dystopian Future Ruled By JD Vance And An Immortal Elon Musk November 2, 2024
    The secret to understanding the average progressive mind is to first realize that everything they do revolves around a deeply ingrained fantasy world in which they are rebels; righteous underdogs fighting against "the system" or "the patriarchy."  Leftists cannot function within their collectivist ideology without first creating a fascist bogeyman to revolt against.  If they were to ever realize that they are, in fact, the establishment and the authoritarians, their entire world view would collapse.
    [Cellophane-blue-haired girl VO: "We had a beautiful life. The best parties. The most beautiful friends." ... "Many of us even voted for them." 'Them' is DJT, JDV, and Musk and Thiel. Although H-W and its affiliate PACs ads have been consistently off-target, this seems more a Jill Stein ad. Bogusity Meter: Solid 10]
  • Poll: Nearly 6 In 10 Americans Aren't Convinced Kamala Harris Worked At McDonald's November 2, 2024

  • Kamala Harris SNL Appearance November 2, 2024
Hilarious! Everything rhymes with KA-mala!

[I wasn't going to post on this, but DH sent me the clip and now you must suffer with me. It's not funny as intended, but it is funny as meta-reality. The skit is like a cut & paste from the H-W campaign itself: it's banal word-spin that says nothing. SNL cannot successfully parody the H-W campaign, because the campaign is a parody of the Democrats' parody of 'saving democracy'. KA-mala is the matryoshka doll of politics, surfaces nested in surfaces but with no actual core, just endless lesser and lesser surfaces nested in lesser and lesser surfaces.
KA-mala nesting doll. No surprises inside!

Selling KA-mala.
Lizzie, Get Your Gun!
Before leaving the 48-hour craziness, a look at Liz Cheney spanked by DJT, and the ensuant hysteria. Ensuant? The hysteria jumped right out the gate. Here is the entirety of what DJT said at the campaign event in Glendale, Arizona

“I don’t blame [Dick Cheney] for sticking with his daughter, but his daughter is a very dumb individual. Very dumb, she’s a radical war hawk. Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face. They're all war hawks when theyre sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘Oh, gee, well, let's send 10,000 troops into the mouths of the enemies,’ but she’s a stupid person and I used to have meetings with a lot of people and she always wanted to go to war with people.” 

The offending bit, highlighted in yellow, that bit is what was reported on and embroidered by ‘journalism’ . Below a sampling of the headlines it inspired. (🏴 = partial or mangled quote used.)
Now the great walkbacks and correx.
