Media watchers are really starting to notice the holes in the support for Kamala Harris. the Washington Post lack of endorsement has sent people to their swooning couches more so than the LA Times, but Scott Pinsker had a great article at PJMedia: Why haven't we heard about Kamala's father? 

Of course, this doesn't get much coverage when everything has been focused on Trump in Manhattan (20,000 inside the stadium, almost 80,000 outside listening in) and Trump on Rogan, where 26 million people have gone to listen to at least part of the show within 24 hours of release, breaking all sorts of records. The media are probably wetting the bed, considering that's more views than they have had combined, I believe. No one media organization comes close to that figure. 

CNN has to fact check Trump and note 32 false claims, but I have no desire to give CNN any clicks to that article, so I haven't read it. 

Let me quote Pinsker's article above: 

We know Donald Trump extremely well. Not to wax all Eastwoodian, but when it comes to Trump, we already know the good, the bad, and the ugly. We know all about McDonald’s, the divorces, the money, the accusations, the successes, and the hair. 

He’s transparent.

In fact, given the global population boom and the rise in alternative media, you could make a compelling argument that more content has probably been produced about Donald Trump over the past 10 years than about anyone else on the planet. And that ain’t hyperbole, folks — that’s almost certainly a fact!

And yet Harris is still trying to label Trump a Nazi, a fascist, you name it. It would be downright comical if it weren't a threat to America that Harris might win.

Interesting explainer at JPost about Iran's air defenses, and Israel's ability to penetrate them.

And more on that.  The F-35 apparently... works.  So, that's good.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah continues to have LOTS of upward-promotion potential at its senior management levels.

Huh. Who woulda thunk: Nearly all looters nabbed in Pinellas County, FL, after recent hurricanes were in US illegally

Surprising no one: The newest Energy Department figures are throwing water on the Biden-Harris administration’s campaign to electrify the American home. Despite claims that transitioning home appliances from natural gas to electric will save consumers money, agency data shows electricity costs 3.5 times more than natural gas – and that’s been the case since at least 2011.

Well, then, arresting looters has a disparate impact, and should obviously be banned.

More on that previously mentioned subject:


Report:  IAF raid basically destroyed Iran's long-range air defenses.


Big, if true.

Like the cheat cheat cheat of the vote count
After Election Day nightfall
Like the count count count of the mail-in votes
That will skew the real total
Like the adding-up of the votes harvested
From hordes of non-citizens
So a voice within me repeats now
Again, again, and again---
Throw away
Those questionable votes
And dismiss the falsified totals that they all bloat
Can't all of you idiots see
That this is why we need voter ID?
Throw away the "harvest votes"---
Throw them away!

---apologies to "Night and Day"
