Today is election day and all that we’ve gone through the last several months will (hopefully) be over by the time I wake up tomorrow.

There is not a lot to be said that I have not said already so I want to address myself to all of those folks in swing states and districts who either have or are prepared to take part in election fraud in the hopes of saving the day for Kamala.

Don’t try it.

Not only are we in the “too big to rig” numbers based on all I’ve seen and the actions of the left but consider what is coming.

I suspect what is coming is a special council given powers to investigate voter fraud in all 50 states. I suspect said council is going to have the power to hire his or her own lawyers so that career DOJ staff can’t cover things up. I suspect that while Trump is busy working on the economy, the border, energy and Iran said council will be doing what should have been done in 2020, going after those who try to steal an election from the American people.

I suspect that while said council will look into the 2020 steal his primary target are going to be those who attempt a steal this time around.

And remember James O’Keefe has his people in every single state just waiting to give such a council their evidence and video and Elon’s Musk’s twitter will not be banning people who report what they see and spread it

Oh and don’t think for one minute the left will protect you, the defining characteristic of the left is that when a useful idiot is no longer useful they are discarded.

Your best bet is to lay low and give any plans for fraud a pass.

Oh and for those already involved this time around. I’ll have words for you later this week

Apparently Selzer put out a poll giving Kamala Harris a lead in Iowa that was pushed heavily on the net and at Drudge but isn’t being believed by anyone who knows anything about politics. Mark Halperin interviewed the woman in question who acknowledged that she oversampled “older white liberal women”

I think that might make a tad of a difference in the numbers don’t you?


When asked earlier this year the boss at SNL said they would not be having any of the candidates due to equal time laws and rules.

Apparently that no longer applies as they had Kamala on SNL this weekend which likely will do less harm to her campaign than an appearance since it’s pre-scripted and you don’t have to worry about teleprompters.

Personally given what I think will happen I think it’s a bad move but apparently NBC anticipated this and allowed this video for Trump to run during Nasscar and Sunday Night football

I’d take that trade any day of the week.


The blame game articles are already out there and Democrats are pointing fingers furiously.

Apparently nobody owns any mirrors.

One note I saw in a Hill article on the subject was the Bobby Kennedy dropping out and endorsing Trump being a huge hit to them.

I’ll wager if they had let him run in the primaries (where he would have won) the Democrats would be looking pretty good today.


JD Vance was in Derry NH today as the Granite State seems to be getting rather close.

Don’t think for one moment that voters in the state forgot about Biden bypassing them. Even more than Kamala I think that sticks in a lot of craws there.

But of Course you couldn’t have Biden in NH, there was no way to hide his decline if he had to appear in person at the Red Arrow Diner.


Finally I’ve noticed one thing that hasn’t generated a lot of questions.

I’ve seen Nancy Pelosi everywhere on the News lately pushing the various narratives for the Democrats some of them highly unrealistic.

That the former Speaker is doing so itself isn’t odd. In 1980 in the middle of Jimmy Carter getting destroyed Tip O’Neil went on the air and declared: “A Democrat tide is sweeping the nation.” even though he knew it was false as he didn’t want Dems on the left coast losing heart and staying home costing him seats.

What’s odd is that it’s the supposedly FORMER speaker who is doing this. Am I the only one who finds it odd that it’s Nancy Pelosi on all of these shows and NOT the Democrat majority leader Hakeem Jeffries? I mean if your going to interview somebody why would you not have the man with power rather than the person who no longer has it.

And that leads to my question? Does she no longer have it? Is she still the boss and Jeffries just a token? After all if was Pelosi and not Jeffries who forced Biden out.

Chicago’s leftist mayor, Brandon Johnson, who is probably a socialist, is on his way to being remembered as one of America’s worst big city mayors.

Among the awful history gives us are New York’s John Lindsay, Cleveland’s Dennis Kucinich, and Detroit’s Coleman Young.

“Branjo” has been mayor for only 18 months. 

In another post at Da Tech Guy, I discussed his propensity to blame any criticism of him on his race–Johnson is black. 

Last month I discussed his Friday Afternoon Massacre. Consider this post a sequel. 

Johnson was a longtime paid organizer for the radical Chicago Teachers Union. And by the way, when someone calls himself an organizer, consider that a code word for left-wing radical.  He was also Cook County Commissioner, a part-time job. Cook County government doesn’t have much power. 

Branjo is an empty suit with an empty head. 

Chicago is broke, thanks to fiscal mismanagement by Richard M. Daley, Chicago is essentially bankrupt. Its municipal pension funds are the worst funded in the nation.

Daley belongs in that worst mayors ever list too.

But the Chicago Teachers Union, Johnson’s former employer and the chief financial backer of his mayoral campaign, wants a big raise for teachers. To pay for that, as well as a looming pension bill for non-teacher CPS employees, Branjo ordered the CEO of CPS, Pedro Martinez, to take out what the media is collectively calling a high interest “payday loan” to pay for both. CPS faces a $500 million dollar deficit while Chicago proper faces a nearly $1 billion deficit. CPS bonds are rated as junk.

Martinez said no to the mayor, and in solidarity with him, the entire school board, all seven of them Johnson appointees, resigned, in short, the Friday Afternoon Massacre.

In Brandon Johnson’s Chicago, things can always get worse.

Johnson quickly replaced the school board with seven new members, who have so far done nothing. Martinez hasn’t been fired and no payday loan has been taken out. In a few weeks, that board will be replaced with a hybrid board, half elected—the election is this week–and half appointed by Johnson. 

Of the soon-to-be former board, two members, including the president of the board, Mitchell Ikenna Johnson (no relation) are an embarrassment. The day after he was sworn in, it was reported that Mitchell was disbarred for life in Ohio for “engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, deceit, fraud, or misrepresentation.” The mayor, who almost certainly lives in a leftist pseudo-intellectual monoculture, should have immediately called for Mitchell Ikenna Johnson’s resignation. He didn’t. Then it was learned that Mitchell was active on social media supporting 9/11 conspiracy theories and promoting anti-Semitic hate. On Friday, Mitchell finally resigned.

Apparently, there is no vetting at Chicago’s City Hall. Competence is absent too.

Another of Branjo’s recent board appointees, Olga Bautista–a socialist–faces accusations of anti-semitism, which led Illinois’ treasurer, Susana Mendoza, a Democrat, to comment on X, “Springfield should intervene. There clearly needs to be Chgo City Council vetting, oversight & consent of these mayoral appointments to the Chgo Public School Board. Antisemites should be automatically disqualified, full stop. As should socialists calling for the fall of the U.S.”

Mendoza, a Democrat, is rumored to be considering a mayoral run in 2027.

Meanwhile, another radical left-winger, Kennedy Bartley, a top Branjo aide who is in charge of lobbying with other public officials, including the City Council, on behalf of the mayor, has called Chicago Police officers “f*cking pigs” and has made anti-Semitic comments on social media. She’s still on the job.

Johnson is rumored to have a police detail of 125-150 officers.

Clearly, being an anti-Semite, or at the very least, anti-Israel, is on the checklist to be included in leftist government employment circles.

And incompetence is on that checklist too.

As I’ve mentioned a few times at DaTechGuy, the warning signs were all there with Brandon Johnson. Chicagoans voted him in anyway.

While Chicago has some able aldermen–Brendan Reilly, Anthony Beale, and Ray Lopez come to mind–there are many leftist losers there too.

But that’s a topic for another time.

John Ruberry regularly blogs at Marathon Pundit.

Scott Pelley: Did you, well, she had pneumonia. I mean –

Mike Cernovich: How do you know?

Scott Pelley: Well, because that’s what was reported.

Mike Cernovich: By whom? Who told you that?

Scott Pelley: Well, the campaign told us that.

Mike Cernovich: Why would you trust a campaign?

There are four days till election day. Tens of Millions of people have already voted and every single bit of the next four days campaigning both in person and online is to convince you of their message.

The basic Trump message is that we have momentum and the only thing that can keep us from winning is cheating.

The basic Harris message is we’re still in this and the tide is going our way.

Additionally there are a ton of paid surrogates online (For the record I’m not one of them) out to spin people toward these things.

I presume that anyone whose living depending on advancing a narrative is going to earn their money.

So don’t assume anything asserted is automatically true, even if it advances the side you are for and as for the media and spokesmen remember this key phrase from my favorite Yes Prime Minister episode when the PM tell his press secretary to release a statement about some troop movements: EMPHASIS MINE

James Hacker : [phone rings]  Oh, yes, Paul. You know you have an airborne battalion on standby in Germany? Never mind how I know. Well, since it’s not being used, I want them to fly straight off to St George’s Island. Sort of between Africa and India. A goodwill visit. Just showing the flag. They have been invited. Yes. Leave in… six hours. Yes, an instant goodwill visit. Tell your press office to announce it at once. No, no, leave me out of it. A routine visit. All right – a routine surprise visit. Well, say they were invited earlier, but the NATO exercise got in the way. Now they’re not needed, they’re going anyway. All right. Nobody knows it’s not true. Press statements aren’t delivered under oath.

Have faith in God, from all others demand evidence, particularly until things are all over.
