Textpat snuck a Tuesday thread in on me, thanks.
Mornin’ Gang, again.

Repeating my earlier post;
It’s Tuesday, Nov 8, polls open a 7 AM.

…….Trump calling DeSantis ‘DeSanctimonious.’
How rich.
Please Trump, I beg of you, please don’t do this.

Morning gang. Don’t forget to vote early and vote often. Maybe cold weather later in the week. Election results to be delayed to make sure the fix gets properly implemented; Powerball lottery being delayed so that the right numbers are selected. Is there anything honest going on anywhere these days? You all have a great day.
-
Going to an election party tonight. Hope it’s equivalent to last Saturday night’s party.
-
Party won’t be at my neighbor buddy’s, he claims to be democrat but he’s really not. He just has TDS so bad anything red is evil.

We dot get into politics much but every time we do he finds himself agreeing with me too much just discussing issues he starts hollering “But that Trump…!”

A while back I posted a picture over yonder showing how the wife’s chickens tend to follow the Mule or Tractor thinking Meal Worms might be onboard. I was cutting down small pines and cleaning up around the pecan tree by the gate and oddly enough, no one commented on my garden rake. 😀

Your garden rake is definitely #1

Lol.
First comment from the Karens on my tractor group would be – “You’ve got no counterweight on your tractor! Your gonna die!” 😀

Blank OC Header
The reason the OC header is blank is because I have been unable to post any kind of photo or graphic image in the publishing page of this site since yesterday. I tried for 2 hours from before 3 AM till almost 5 AM this morning and nothing worked, even images I already posted in the last few days.
I haven’t the slightest idea why.

If you want to wear your MAGA hat to vote it is now legal since neither MAGA nor Trump are on the ballot. Can’t wear your Baytoe shirt though. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/elections/2022/10/11/a-beto-shirt-or-a-maga-hat-at-the-polls-what-to-know-about-texas-dress-code-rules/

A 67 year old woman in Virginia, a psychiatrist, applied for a position with the federal bureau of prisons.
” Fourth Circuit: Contra the district court, a 67-year-old psychiatrist who failed the physical fitness exam that all new federal prison employees must pass does indeed have standing to bring sex- and age-discrimination claims. The exam: “drag a seventy-five-pound dummy at least 694 feet for three minutes, climb a ladder to retrieve an object within seven seconds, complete an obstacle course in fifty-eight seconds, run a quarter mile and handcuff someone within two minutes and thirty-five seconds, and climb three flights of stairs in forty-five seconds while wearing a twenty-pound weight belt.” (You don’t need to be able to do all of it; just most of it.) “

First comment from the Karens on my tractor group would be –
GJT, Ain’ it the truth! The larger Kubota group also has a bunch of Karens’ AKA Wimps/Wussys. I’d have NEVER figured that tractor driving men or ladies would be Karens. Pitiful, jus’ pitiful,…. ~ Jed Clampett ~

Please Trump, I beg of you, please don’t do this.
Oh he’s going to do it, and do it early and often. And nastier and nastier until he slays the dragon.

They are fighting back hard in New York state.
” NEW YORK, Nov 7 (Reuters) – A federal judge in New York temporarily suspended many parts of the state’s new gun restrictions on Monday to allow members of a gun-owners’ rights group to continue their lawsuit challenging the new law as unconstitutional.
Judge Glenn Suddaby of the U.S. District Court in Syracuse agreed to issue the order at the request of six New York residents who are members of Gun Owners of America, which competes with the National Rifle Association in political influence. “
and,
” In Monday’s preliminary injunction, Suddaby said New York officials could not compel people applying for a gun license to disclose the handles of their social media accounts or the names and contact details of everyone they live with, major provisions of the Concealed Carry Improvement Act which took effect on Sept. 1. Nor would applicants have to prove their “good moral character,” Suddaby wrote in the 182-page order, a length he ascribed to the new law’s ‘unprecedented constitutional violations.’ “

Don’t think I mentioned this before but several months ago my wife’s Hyundai left headlamp got vandalized and I had to replace it – $800! and I had to dang near tear the whole front end apart to do it. There are no manual adjustments on it and it shines too low, I discovered it has an automatic leveling system that is ran by the computer which has to be calibrated, everybody kept telling me $300 to do it. Finally found a dealer that will do it for half hour labor – $92.50. Got an appointment for Thursday.

Damn gators in the pool.

19 Squawk
The only way I could get the Weekend photo posted was to copy & paste it. The Media Library function wouldn’t post it for me.
I’m wondering whether it’s just me or are other contributors having the same problem ?

Yesterday’s OC pic was a simple cut and paste. I bypassed the media library.

The Coffee and Covid column has a great reminder for today:
Good morning, and Happy Tuesday, C&C! Here we are, finally, Election Day, the moment of truth. VOTE! And multiply your vote by convincing or helping at least one person to vote who otherwise wouldn’t. Michelle is helping secure democracy by volunteering at the polls today, and I’ll be making the rounds County keeping a careful eye on things. Do whatever you can.
Today’s overflowing roundup includes: True the Vote heroes released from federal prison; examples of the various forms democrat cheating takes; CNN says dems are confronting their “nightmare scenario;” Barron’s explains inflation’s silver lining; more stories about dems flipping red; study shows risk of relapsed kidney disease after jabs; Ukraine keeps winning so big it’s about to evacuate its capital city, Kiev; and how we can buy back the FDA.

That’s total insanity.

Childers reports that his Team Accountability is coming along nicely, with volunteers ready to assemble the database and data collection tools needed to take certain folks to task for their roles in the all the hurt and damage incurred by the mandates.
He writes this column daily, does his legal work, somehow has time for marriage and family, has public speaking events – and now is putting together this team and handling this task.
Energizer bunny, he is.
-
C&C reports on the release of the True the Vote folks who were thrown into jail for keeping their sources (whistleblowers) safe:
Notice that the Fifth Circuit included the phrase, “pending further order from this court,” which means (1) it’s keeping jurisdiction over their detention, which is good news for our plucky heroes, and (2) the Court means to say more about the case.
Probably a lot more.
I can’t confirm this, or even say where I got the intel, but my sources close to the matter said the feds slow-walked Katherine and Gregg’s release, taking their time, stretching almost a whole additional day out of their detention.
Where can I buy a can of spit? I’m plumb out. I hope the new Republican Congress goes to town on the J6 imprisonments and crap like this. Jail time for those who can be sent to jail, and ethics charges against Congress critters.

I have no idea if this is related. When I upload a photo to the library, the progress bar shows that it is loaded, but I don’t see the actual loaded photo.
I have to close and reopen the dashboard and then it shows the loaded photo in the library.
I just figured it was another iPhone/Wordpress peccadillo.
-
Childers then reports that cheating is still possible, and ongoing. He reports on Soros backed entities that are defacing/removing/destroying yard signs in legal places, claiming “they were illegally placed”. Then there are psyops in the form of push messages on cell phones lying about the local vote.
Because, “Democracy is at risk”. At least that’s what I’ve been hearing:
Anyway. This is what all the democrat’s “threat to our very democracy” chatter is all about. It’s a psyop ON THEIR OWN VOTERS, to convince them it’s okay to throw morality and ethics out the window, in favor of cheating and dirty tricks, because THIS TIME it’s an existential crisis, or something.
The national democrats want locals feeling like cheating and breaking the law “little” is okay, because things are just SO DIRE.
I want to be able to make my coffee with liberal tears tomorrow.

Good Morning Hamsters,
Out of the hospital and being home is so nice. I have a follow-up appointment tomorrow morning and a meeting with a physical therapist after that. Can see the need for PT. My energy level was higher the first day home but the energy level has left. However I finally seem to have drained out all the anesthetic and can navigate the house rather well. But the post-op aches still need Tylenol. Can see that meal preparation is not going to be my job for a few more days so spouse is filling in on that.
Got to watch the Astros parade and celebration before an enormous crowd.
Today will be most interesting, and good stuff to be seen is a great reason to reduce my napping time. 🙂

I ran into the loading problem too. I’ll see if that glitch has been reported and see if there is a fix. This craps timing has gotta change to where I get my coffee first then problem manifest.
We have unlimited storage so that is not a problem.

Next up:
Financial mag Barron’s ran a government-approved story yesterday headlined, “Here Are the Silver Linings of Red-Hot Inflation.” And I bet you didn’t even know that there red-hot inflation even had any silver linings.
All we have to do, says Barron’s, is “ferret[] out higher yielding, liquid investments that still offer a safety net.”
What doe they suggest? Treasury bonds – 4% yield. Childers points out that we are exceeding that in inflation rates. Then they suggest savings accounts. [snuffle snort]
I may only be a lawyer, but I do have a degree in economics. On planet Earth, where we all USED to live, before we moved to Cloud Cuckoo Land, regular savings accounts were THE classic example of where you DIDN’T want to put your money during times of high inflation. Savers and people on fixed incomes are hit hardest during inflationary periods.
That’s why the next reported method is – certificates of deposit! [splitting sides laughing]
So I wasn’t surprised when I saw this:
Hilariously, the comments to the article were stealth-locked. There everything looks normal, except there are zero comments. But, if you try to add one, like I did, it returns some kind of obscure HTML error.
Because…truth hurts, and I’m sure there was a lot of truth in the comments. And sarcasm.

#17 – I SO smell whatcha steppin in there neighbor!
Never ignore what might be found over on Ebay!
MY example – remember those SIMPLE little flasher units? (small & round w 3 prongs) – $5 – $10 at the parts house and 30 seconds to install.
This 2001 Crown Vic copmobile has what’s now known as a “lighting control module” (CRINGE) – about the size of a box of Poptarts and well north of $600 on the Ford website!
On Ebay I found a still-in-the-box serial # matched unit for $90 – my Crown Vic guru / buddy put it in for me for 1 BEER! YeeHAW

Next:
Confirming some of my hypotheses about democrat voters voting red due to pandemic policy, Fox News ran a story yesterday headlined, “I Was a Democrat Who Worked for a Teachers’ Union but I’m Voting Republican for Education Freedom.”
It’s an op-ed by Latina voter Valeria Gurr. She begins this way:
There’s a growing trend in America catching the attention of astute political observers and candidates alike: Hispanic voters are leaving the Democratic Party in droves. It’s a voting bloc many Democrats have relied on to win elections, so why is this change happening? There are no doubt many reasons, but it’s clear that education is among the top motives.
Leaving in DROVES. About halfway through the piece, Ms. Gurr gets around to her main point:
After enduring significant losses in learning and academic achievement gaps during the pandemic, voters are seeing NAEP scores that show 51 percent of Hispanic fourth graders not mastering basic math concepts. With two decades of educational progress nearly gone, voters are stepping up to call on elected officials to stop making excuses for the deficient public education system and how badly it failed students during the pandemic and before.
Democrats are finally being called on the carpet for taking “their” voting blocs for granted. Here’s hoping the great awakening continues to grow, and folks free themselves from voting as they are expected, or because that’s how momma voted her whole life, or because their level of pigmentation requires them to do so.

More bad news on the jab:
A recent study published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology is titled “mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines and Their Risk to Induce a Relapse of Glomerular Diseases.”
When I first saw the study’s title, I didn’t know what “glomerular diseases” meant, but it didn’t sound good. And it wasn’t. The term refers to a broad range of nasty kidney illnesses caused by inflammation of certain tissues in those organs.
It seems the first few jabs aren’t too bad, but all those boosters have a deleterious effect on the immune system.
Stop. Just. Stop.
-
Then, Childers points out how Pfizer bought the FDA:
The next story has been out for a few months now, but it’s been well buried and deserves a fresh look. We found out how much it costs to buy the FDA. Three million dollars. That’s how much Pfizer paid the FDA for the rubbish “user fee” required to get EUA approval. We only know this because a judge rejected Pfizer’s request to bury the intel for 75 years.
/snip
Ruh-roh! I guess that means Pfizer’s executive lied to the European Union last month after all, when she said, look dummies, Pfizer COULDN’T test for preventing covid, because it was moving at the speed of science.
The speed of science isn’t measured in units of time; it’s apparently measured in dollars. Millions and millions of dollars.
So.

I’m watching a video on the Fatima apparitions and the saints.
I didn’t know that the Freemasons had attempted to remove the tree over which The Lady had appeared. This was long after the well documented Miracle of the Sun had occurred, with the result of many conversions and reversions. I guess they couldn’t handle the holiness of the space.
Evil.
Turns out they ripped out the wrong tree. So there.

Yes I went through this several months ago, the headlamp assy was $1,100 – $1,200 everywhere and availability was scarce. Finally found one for $800 at a dealership in Chicago. Got it shipped and installed, we’ve just been dealing with it shining too low. Found the thing has automatic leveling which the computer calculates the load in the car – passengers and load in trunk, also has “bending” which the headlamps turn a little in turns. Anyway, I’ve been putting it off but it’s pretty dangerous on these little hilly, windy roads out here so it was time to deal with it.

Morning, gang. I bet everyone on The Couch except moi has voted already… I’ll get there at some point.

When Hubby and I had our morning call, he asked how I was doing today.
I told him the head was better, but the arm was worse. “If I could just get my body all synced up…”I said. He laughed and said that he and Handyman had that same conversation every morning, taking tabs on which body parts needed extra TLC that day.
Gettin’ old ain’t for the faint of heart.

From Dave Hardy at Of Arms and the Law:
” Office of Inspector General report here.
“In August 2019, a former contract security guard stationed at the ATF facility in Martinsburg was sentenced to 14 years in prison for stealing thousands of firearms, firearm parts, and ammunition from the NDB [National Destruction Branch, the unit which destroys firearms] facility from 2016 to 2019. The events that led to this conviction triggered two internal ATF inspections of the NDB facility and an OIG investigation that resulted in the identification of several vulnerabilities that enabled the thefts to occur undetected, as well as recommendations for corrective action by the ATF’s internal inspection groups.”
So, three years later, how well is the agency complying?
‘We found that NDB staff does not consistently adhere to established operating procedures in place to mitigate risk of firearms being lost or stolen. Specifically, we observed NDB staff: (1) propping open doors into secure areas of the facility solely for the sake of convenience, (2) allowing visitors to enter the facility through doorways other than the main entrance and drive their cars into the facility to unload firearms, and (3) permitting unauthorized individuals to access NDB vault storage spaces. Failure to strictly adhere to established operating procedures not only undermines the NDB’s security protocol, but unnecessarily places firearms in NDB custody at risk of loss or theft.’ “
These are the same federal thugs harassing gun owners and threatening gun dealers across America. The ATF has no problem cancelling a gun dealer’s license over typos or simple, unintentional clerical errors.

Did I ever tell y’all about the time I went to replace the driver’s side headlight bulb in my 2011 Mercedes E350? I purchased the bulb first from the parts store. When I got home, I popped the hood and could not for the life of me figure out how to gain access to the back of the housing to swap the bulb out. Went to my trusty YouTube and watched a couple of videos. To my dismay, I found out I needed to remove the front driver’s side tire and remove the mud screen from the wheel well to access the back of the headlight assembly.
I closed the hood, drove the car to my mechanic, gave him the bulb, and told him to replace my headlight bulb. I felt like I had been emasculated.

Ford has had auto locking hubs to engage four wheel drive for its superduty trucks and the excursions for decades.
If I want to engage 4×4 on my Excursion, I have to manually lock the hubs. There is a little circuit board that sits behind the glove box that controls the auto locking feature that has gone out. When the problem wad diagnosed 7 years ago, I was told the board would cost $500. I told my mechanic that I’ll just hop out and manually lock the hubs and I haven’t looked back since.

#42 – My bike wrench found SOOOOOOOO much ‘fun’ trying to replace a simple windshield washer fluid pump on his Beemer sedan.
Had to pull off the right front wheel to gain access to that pump near the cab’s firewall. GEEEEZ

BREAKING: Voting machines down in New Jersey’s Mercer County
As voters across Mercer County, New Jersey head to the polls to cast their ballots on Tuesday, officials have announced that voting machines had gone down to due to a “county-wide system outage.”
Authorities informed residents that they could still vote via standard ballot.

Tedtam – thought I’d let you know the result of my “experiment” with the eggs… There’s virtually no difference in the trays where I went thru the messy process of trying to turn the sheets of egg so the bottom side would dry, and the two which I did NOT turn. So… I guess I’ll just let ’em dry in the future 😉
-
Well, I’m a bit impatient, sooooo…..
-
I usually end up with a “thick corner” on at least half of my trays.

My guess is that if one of those firearms stolen from ATF show up at a crime scene that it all gets quietly swept under the rug.

I’d never heard of granulated honey before, but it sure would be easier to store than the liquid that sugars out and has to be reheated before use.

#50 Tedtam – I have that same issue – but then remember the theory that one cannot “over-dry”anything so I think I’ll just set ’em for plenty long and let ’em go…

#44 Katfish
My son once had a BMW (don’t remember the year or version) we pulled the transmission to rebuild the clutch. We found the starter was bolted to the transmission rather than the engine. Having the engine and transmission mounts removed we could lean the engine down to access the starter bolts (barely) under the car to remove it. I have no idea how you’d get to the starter from the top if you had to.
-
I never did think to look on Ebay for that circuit board for the Excursion. Before I can do that, I’ll have to identify the part number for the existing board.
-
#52 Tedtam
I think Whole Foods or Sprouts sells granulated honey. I could be mistaken since it’s been a long time since I’ve been in either store.
-
My mechanic despises working on German cars because they are so over engineered. They are put together with no regard for simple maintenance and they have sensors checking sensors which makes it harder to diagnose a problem.
-
I changed the water pump in an old Ford Escort that belonged to our maid. If you don’t know the motor sits sideways like all or most FWDs. You were supposed to disconnect the motor mounts and the left CV joint then lift the engine as far as it would go to gain access to the bolts but I removed the left front wheel and drilled 3 holes in the fender-well. As I was working on the POS I thought that I really ought to replace the timing belt, NAW too much trouble. SO! Guess what I was doing 4 months later? 2 bent vales + machine work, gaskets and MY labor, about $200 bucks. 🙁

Hubby came home exhausted the other day. Turns out a young man of whom he’s fond was using Hubby’s shop to work on his VW truck. (Don’t ask. Trust me.) That day, they had to remove the tranny.
Hubby tried to describe the contortions and contraptions that they came up with to get the engine out and remove the tranny for the work to be done. It sounded like a lot of work. They got it in and out in one day, so Hubby was able to put his baby back up on the lift and get back to his work.
He’s happiest with a wrench or welder in his hand. Our tenant next door runs a body/mechanic shop, and he does good work with paint. He and Hubby have already been discussing paint colors. It’s getting closer to being done.
Y’all will have to see the new car some time. It’s gonna be different from anything you’ve seen anywhere else.
PS: I didn’t know suicide doors were so much more difficult than regular doors. Now I do.

Mercer County, New Jersey
All their new machines are down. They are having to vote with paper ballots. You use a pencil to blacken the bubble next to your candidate. The election officials stack the ballots in a hopper and an optical scanner reads the votes. It’s real simple – no computers, no hacking, no wireless communication.
Mercer County may be the most honest vote in New Jersey this year.
RELATED:
We just got back from voting here in Maywood, New Jersey. The state bought new machines and created a new involved procedure to vote that involves a touch screen and prints out a paper ballot the voter has to carry across the room and insert into a locked ballot box. Whereas it used to take about 10 minutes to walk in and vote here, it took almost an hour for us to do it today.
I could have filled out a manual paper ballot with a pencil in less time this new process required and walked over to stick it in a locked box.
The whole computerized voting process is a bad joke. There is no convincing reason to continue to use anything but paper ballots and optical scanners.

At least one governator out there has the cajones to tell AG Garland’s DOJ election monitor thugs to pound sand. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/11/florida-governor-ron-desantis-blocks-ag-garlands-election-monitors-entering-polling-locations/
-
But Texpat… if it’s all paper ballots and optical scanners, then it becomes so much harder to avoid audits of those archaic paper ballots, and ensure one voter, one ballot = one vote (and that it indeed went to the intended candidate)
-
For those of you who wait until election day to go discover all the dirty tricks the Dems have up their sleeves for you in Dem states, what can I say. Most of you have had two weeks to go cast your ballot more or less hassle free at your leisure. I just don’t understand the concept of waiting until the last minute only to discover that your polling location has changed, the machines don’t work, the DOJ thugs are intimidating you, they ran out of ballots, or whatever. All these breathless news reports are designed merely to set up the public for the Dems claims of improprieties as they are being swept out to sea with the tide.
-
We all have our automotive war stories, but one thing that used to drive me crazy with my Ford 3/4 and 1 ton trucks when I used to buy them with manual transmissions was the clutch throwout bearing. Back then it was literally a 75 cent bearing, but you had to loosen the motor mounts to unbolt the trans to get it over the HD frame crossmember. The mechanic would hand me a bill for $250 and claim he threw the bearing in for free.

64 El Gordo
I hate early voting, DMV voting and mail-in voting. I vote on voting day because I like to do so. The less time the criminals have to hide or destroy my ballot the better.
-
I have been voting for decades and I never once had any problem voting with a simple paper ballot in Austin County, Texas. Remarkably, voting here in Bergen County, New Jersey for all these years has been very quick and simple with the exception of today’s experience.
-
Thanks, Squawk, for fixing the OC header images.
-
I vote on voting day because I like to do so. The less time the criminals have to hide or destroy my ballot the better.
That’s one theory. There’s another: If I vote early, no one else can use my vote before I show up at the polls.
-
When I voted I told the lady next to me that I check every year to make sure my parents and in-laws haven’t started voting from the grave.
“I do, too!” she said, and we both laughed.
-
Austin County now using a very fine computer system for voting.
Upon arrival, your Driver’s License is scanned, causing your name to be printed at the top of a blank ballot which you have chosen. The heavy paper ballot is approximately 4” x 12” long.
Take ballot to a machine and insert. Vote each race on touch screen. When finished, ballot spits out with every race voted printed on ballot.
On the way out, insert ballot into scanner.
Very efficient. Except for the mentally impaired.

I had an early lunch at home (early for me!), during which time I was sorting through FB, seeinglots of comments from those who had voted this morning. I was planning to go to Lone Star College on Victory, but saw a complaint that there were hundreds of people in line there, so that person went to Eisenhower High School instead and it wasn’t busy there. So that’s where I went and it was a good tip.
Yeah, voting against Lina Hidalgo felt good.
-
Fort Bend voting sounds very similar to Austin County with the exception of a name being printed at the top of the ballot. I like the fact that it is scanned electronically to cut down on counting time. There is also a paper copy in a lock box that can be used to manually audit if required.
-
… and yes Mrs. TexMo did make it to the polls today and she voted exactly like I told her to. 🙂
-
In other news, I feel ashamed. I have never encouraged my older boy to register to vote and he turns 20 in a few months. I didn’t even realize it until my sister sent me a picture today of my nephew with an I Voted sticker. My nephew turned 18 four days before the last day to register.
With my health issues, the topic of registering to vote totally slipped my mind. I’ll bring this up when he gets off work today.

Oldest son votes enthusiastically the correct way. Youngest has a little dr phil good in him and says it don’t matter they are all corrupt. He did love Trump though.

Watching all these TV election result shows is a sure fire way to burn out the last brain cells you might have in the late stages of your life.
If you want to avoid dementia and Alzheimer’s, do not subject yourself to this dangerous and toxic bulls**t. Protect yourself and your mental health.
Once you watch and hear five dozen different “election experts” stand in front of an election map and ramble on about endless nonsense, you have moved far closer to that nursing home oblivion you have always dreaded for your loved ones.
Choose Life. Save Yourselves.

I’m going to find a movie to watch.

There really is no reasonable argument to be made for voting Republican anymore. And I promised God a long time ago I would never vote for a baby-killing Democrat. Plus, they want me dead, literally.Last time I felt like this it was Dale Gribble from Sugar Land infamously proclaiming “there is simply no fat left to cut in the federal budget”. I believe that was late 2005. Anyone remember what happened in 2006?
AND
Skip the vote. We the taxpayers are getting hosed either way.
Only twice in my lifetime have Republicans held the presidency and both houses of Congress. Both times they’ve screwed the pooch.
-
And someone is suing to keep one polling location open for an extra hour. The fake ballot carrier must be running late.
-
Beto looks like an epileptic chicken.
-
Watch your voter fraud results here.
faux news broke back mountain Britt bareback just called Texas for Ann Richards ghost because it looked like Beto in drag.
-
I heard on the radio – before “The Closer” came on – that some of the polling stations have run out of paper.
And the “elections administrator” is refusing to give them any more, even though Bettencourt confirmed that there is plenty of paper at the warehouse. The idiot that Leava Hidacow hired says that they don’t need paper for the ballots “because they have enough”.
Tomorrow is going to be interesting.

Katie Hobbits certified election officials in Arizona caught bringing in wheelbarrows of cash in undercover operation.
At about 1:28 mark.
-
I guess the judge was afraid of getting strung up in the Astrodome and granted the extension til 8pm…
-
It was 8:01 moments ago and the Florida polls had just closed ONE MINUTE BEFORE, but Brett Baer had to immediately and loudly announce Fox was CALLING THE RACE FOR DeSANTIS because he was 140 million votes AHEAD of Val Demings.
Is any of this crap necessary ? It makes a mockery of American’s freedom to vote…
-
Texpat
None of it is necessary…… it just is.
-
BonginoReport.com has headline that Sara Huckabee Sanders has won gubernatorial race in Arkansas.
I wonder if she’ll find those Arkancide records?
-
Have not been watching the tube tonight because it is frustrating to sit through “This just in….” stuff that some other station covered an hour ago. Also frustrating is the small talk that takes up dead time because there is nothing new to report at the moment so they run a commercial to cancel the small talk in mid sentence. What a zoo election night can be.
-
I’m listening to the Daily Wire folks. They sit around and talk about stuff while waiting for election results. They also drink whiskey, smoke cigars, and laugh about the puns for the goodrancher.com commercial.
Well, not Candace.
But I’ve always liked Knowles and Walsh, and Shapiro is one sharp stick. It’s an interesting group to listen to.

AMEN

Well, I’ve lost the battle here and Fox News is back on via Her Highness.
My current question is this…
Is it really fair that someone like Dana Perino gets more beautiful the older she gets ? I remember when she looked 18 years old on the podium in the White House Press Room with her dog that was bigger than she was.
I mean, I know I get more handsome by the day, but why doesn’t everybody else ? Hey, I’m willing to share.
-
TP – My GF in Philly is that way. She’s nearing mid 70’s and is much more beautiful than she was in college or even in her 40’s. Striking is the word I use to describe her.
In other news, I’ll probably go watch a little bit of the returns before bedtime, knowing full well that nothing will really be decided before morning if by then. You all have a good evening now.
-
Izzit me or am I NOT seeing the great red wave?
Seems to me there has been some 2018 chicanery going on.
-
I think I’m gonna go play Thanksgiving Mahjong – at least there you know which are really turkeys
-
When you’re keeping an eye out for percentage of votes in as much as anything else, either” do we have time” or “oh crap can we hold on”, yeah not seeing a wave coming yet.
-
I’ve been dozing with CBS on in the background.
In two hours they have said absolutely nothing of note. -
Went to channel 13 to look at local races, the national people were still on. They have a big board of all the candidates who believe Trump won the 2020 election, and how they were doing. They were constantly going back to that board. I don’t know how many times I heard “election deniers” within a 15 minute span.
-
Oh well no matter how things turn out…..
-
Ha!
-
I’m going to my happy place.
-
I don’t know why I keep thinking there will be some cogent, coherent election reporting on an election night.
It keeps getting worse…year after year. It doesn’t matter who is winning or who is losing, but it could be days, weeks or months before you actually untangle the sorry mess they throw up on the screen.
And I am telling you this – Fox media is horrible. Their World Series broadcasting was atrocious and their election night production is even worse.
-
For most of my life I paid no attention to national network news and very little to local channels. I am simply not a natural television viewer. It is not my venue just as I don’t watch podcasts or people’s video channels.
I read and I read a lot, about all types of subjects and I listen to a little talk radio when I am driving. I suspend all this at election time and think things have gotten better, people have become smarter, demand more and production standards are higher, but…
…I always am disappointed…at them, at myself and then I get p***ed off one more time.

Looks like the red wave is suffering from an enlarged prostate due to voter fraud and is now becoming a red dribble.
They did it in 2020 and suffered 0 consequences so why not do it again in the same states.
If they can steal 800,000 votes from Trump in Penn in the middle of the night then close races are a piece of cake to steal.

Good Night Hamsters,
The real news probably doesn’t start until 6 am or so on our stations.
-
I have had all of this fun I can stand for one night. See ya
-
Night all.
