Via politicalwire.com: Newsmax preempted their schedule to broadcast President Trump’s campaign rally in Nevada but apparently didn’t think it important to change the title of the original program: “The Life of Adolf Hitler.”
Here’s a theory (nor original with me) about why Trump is advertising so heavily in Georgia. Georgia is one of only four battleground states (Arizona, Georgia, Minnesota and Nevada) that processes absentee ballots upon receipt. (BTW, Trump has held rallies in each of those states during the past few days.) Trump can’t possibly win without Georgia; if he is in the lead in the early returns, that will look good for him, and give him a slight opening to claim vote fraud if the results then swing against him.
Lovely rose, Listener. I snitched it. One of these days I'll be changing my FB cover photo, currently the American flag, and my profile pic, currently the Peace Dove. Not that there's anything wrong with these, only it will be nice to go back to flowers and kitties. In fact, come to think of it, that Nasca line kitty would make a swell cover photo, don't you think?
"Worse than anything we have ever seen" sounds rather like an understatement. Quite possibly worse than anything in the history of the United States, I think.
