October surprises — typically identified as events or stories that have the potential to upend the election chances for a candidate or party — have been relevant to numerous presidential and midterm elections throughout American history, but whether there are any in store for the upcoming November races is a question political insiders are weighing. Strategists from across the political spectrum insist there are a few events or stories that could drive voters to the polls, or away from them, in the Nov. 8 election.

Hate to break it to these people, but this is not news. Someone told these two that an article was due, and this is what they pumped out. Waste of print.

what? and ruin the Surprise??? Never gonna happen...Dems will launch dirt, real, imagined, or made up from nothing.Some of it is bound to be really bad...some will just be more thrown at Trump, who isn't on the ballot. Some may be holding out hopes that WAR! will unite the nation...behind dems. Truth is...if they bumble us into a war that could have been avoided, that no one wants, they will get swept...and the people will unify behind anyone that can win it quick, or end it honorably.

Open up the article and saw Karl Rove and did not bother to go any further. There are few people that I will not hear out and one is Mitch McConnell and the other is Karl Rove because I believe that both of these men are deep into the politics of the status quo which has brought us to the brink of destruction. They represent the good old boys club of empty promises, self-serving greed and power mongering, wasted time, betrayal, and behind the scenes undermining of conservatives. No thanks.

I disagree with most of the article, especially the importance of what happens in Ukraine, unless Brandon keeps up the nuclear rhetoric and provokes an equally crazy Putin into actually doing it. Nothing is going to keep me away from the voting booth but the lurking suspicion is that the cheating will be as effective as it was in 2020 and the republicans and the cowardly supreme court will develop spaghetti spines over it again. As hard as the democrat regime is pushing the fear of domestic terrorism and violent revolution, I think they intend to do something that warrants it.

I'm just waiting for the October surprises, the 'bombshells' that will cause me to abandon my conservative values and common sense, and race to the polls to vote the Rat ticket, NOT!

The only October surprise that would be a surprise is that if every Republican candidate running was actually a Chinese spy. Are these writers' interns? Did they just graduate college? It's like the story about demolsut candidates not wanting to debate Republican candidates. What exactly would the debates reveal that we don't already know.

So much baloney! I got a mailer that advocated against Kai Lake, a GOP candidate for Governor. The flyer exposed her evil notions of installing cameras in every classroom and putting children’s privacy at risk. Further, the claimed that she wanted every citizen to own rocket-launchers. I’m voting for her! Just wondering where to pick up my new rocket-launcher.

Columbus Day, a clash of civilizations 5 replies
Posted by Moritz55 10/11/2022 12:17:44 AM Post Reply
This week, we celebrate the 530th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s landing in the Western Hemisphere. Oct. 12, 2022, will commemorate the day the Italian explorer united the Old World and the New World, forever changing the course of human history. Until about 1992, this was a national holiday and a day to celebrate Italian American heritage. Oct. 12 has since become a day to scorn Western civilization, as the American Left and “multi-culturalist” academics, through various Native American front groups, have used the occasion to recite various atrocity stories and criticisms of the settlement and conquest of the Americas by Europeans.

Twitter users were quick to point out the irony in Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., promoting Indigenous Peoples’ Day on Monday. Warren celebrated the holiday, which replaces Columbus Day in various cities across the country, on her account that morning. "On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we celebrate the contributions, the extraordinary resilience, and the rich cultures of tribal nations and Native communities. Today and every day, the federal government must recommit itself to honoring its promises to Native peoples," Warren wrote. Social media users piled on this tweet after Warren’s previous scandal

Republican Blake Masters, Democrat Mark Kelly, and that Libertarian who was eerily focused on the age of consent laws being way too high, taught us two important things besides that you should never let a Libertarian babysit your tween. First, Mark Kelly is going to get crushed, and second, he’s short, and after Blake beats him in November, he should find something else to do with his life, like toiling for mithril in the mines of Moria or maybe bearing a ring to Mordor.

The news that Elon Musk wants to go forward with the purchase of Twitter has led to a virtual panic among media, political and academic figures worried that free speech could shortly break out on the social media platform. Former Politico magazine editor Garrett Graff summed up the collective vapors succinctly: “Be afraid, be actually afraid.” I sincerely hope so. While Musk had in recent months wavered on his purchase, he said last week that he wants to move forward with a $44 billion offer to buy the social media platform. On Thursday, the judge presiding over Twitter's lawsuit against Musk for backing out of the original

Incumbent Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski is in danger of losing the seat she has held for two decades to a challenger from her own party backed by former President Trump. A Republican has roughly a 99% chance to win next month's Alaska senate election, with Republican challenger Kelly C. Tshibaka considered mostly likely to emerge with the victory at 53%, according to election forecaster FiveThirtyEight. Tshibaka, a Trump-backed Republican challenger who previously served as a commissioner of the Alaska Department of Administration, is currently locked in a tight battle with Murkowski after the incumbent senator generated controversy by supporting the impeachment of former President Trump

Five reasons Herschel Walker could survive
bombshell abortion allegations

Abortion allegations against Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker have roiled one of the country’s tightest races that could decide the majority in the now 50-50 chamber. The closeness of the race — Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) leads by 1.3 points in the RealClearPolitics polling average — means it could be swung by any bombshell report, and abortion is a key issue. But national Republicans are standing by Walker, who said the latest accusation against him is a “flat-out lie,” and if he wins, five factors might contribute.

The Army fell approximately 15,000 (25%) people short of meeting their recruiting goals this year, and some Pentagon officials focused on the tight job market as the culprit.[i] Though access to civilian jobs and higher pay is a factor, the truth is broader and ignored at our peril. Rather than confront the reality of what is occurring in the military and the consequences of these actions, these same officials have decided to make blaming anything but the truth an Olympic level sport and our nation’s readiness to defeat our adversaries is running in last place.

Walking along the crumbling sidewalk that lines his New Birth Ministry congregation in Duquesne, Pastor Jim Nelson greets Dr. Mehmet Oz with a hardy handshake and a pat on the back as Oz exits his SUV. “I’d really like to take you for a little ride in the neighborhood before we get started with today’s roundtable,” the former police officer-turned-faith leader told the Republican candidate for Senate. Without hesitation, Oz piles into the pastor’s van, and they head up the steep brick Pennsylvania street that has long served as the major artery of this Mon Valley city overlooking the Monongahela River.

It’s astonishing how little the progressive wing of the Democratic Party realizes how much their sanctimony turns off the folks who don’t live in big cities where its hold on power is virtually unchallengeable. Things have gotten so bad that if bad party elders had any integrity they’d change the DNC motto from whatever it is now to “Do as we say, not as we do.” Take the recent tweak some liberal party funders got from Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, who managed to divert a planeload of illegal immigrants destined for temporary resettlement in his state to Martha’s Vineyard, a pretentious enclave rich and super-rich progressives including former President Barack

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged world leaders to act and stop Russian President Vladimir Putin as he warns that Moscow has begun preparations for the possible use of nuclear weapons. "They begin to prepare their society," Zelenskyy said during a BBC interview at the presidential palace in Kyiv. "That's very dangerous. They are not ready to do it, to use it, but they begin to communicate." "They don't know whether they'll use or not use it," he stressed. "I think it's dangerous to even speak about it."

Mental Health: I&I/TIPP Poll

Concerns over President Joe Biden’s recent very public displays of possibly age-related mental impairments have jumped among voters since mid-summer, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. And these worries aren’t partisan, with a majority of all political groups, including Democrats, now expressing concern. In early August, we asked Americans: “Some people are concerned about President Biden’s mental health. How concerned are you about President Biden’s mental health?” At the time, a number of public displays of unsteadiness, confusion, and verbal gaffes seen in the media suggested to many that the nation’s commander-in-chief’s mental acuity was questionable.

The United Nations is considering sending armed troops to Haiti following a request from the country's government, U.N. officials confirmed on Sunday night. U.N. chief António Guterres said the agency is considering deploying armed forces "to help the country address immense humanitarian concerns." Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry made the request for help to the larger international community as a whole over the weekend because of "the risk of a major humanitarian crisis." Ariel asked for a "specialized armed force" to intervene. Guterres sent a letter to the U.N. Security Council outlining various options for enhanced security support.

PayPal stock tumbled Monday after reports circulated that the company’s updated acceptable use policy would fine users $2500 for spreading “misinformation.” Shares of the online payments system operator were trading 5.74 percent lower at $84.99 as of noon on Monday. On Sunday, it was reported that PayPal changed the language of the restricted activity section on its AUP to include a clause threatening to impose a $2500 penalty “debited directly from your PayPal account” for an expanded list of prohibited activities. The new conditions were supposed to launch effective November 3, the Daily Wire first reported. Changes included a ban on “the sending, posting, or publication of any messages, content, or materials”

Jeb Bush slammed Donald Trump for claiming his dead father had taken White House materials to a Chinese restaurant combined with a bowling alley in a confusing defense for removing classified documents when leaving office.

Bush and Barack Obama. Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush questioned on Twitter 'what the heck is up' with Trump, and said the comments about his father were confusing. 'George H.W.

The Cleveland Indians are the most exciting team in baseball. They have 10 rookies on their 26-man roster. Six others were rookies last year. They play small ball and win. They are managed by Tito Francona Jr., a grandpa who led the Boston Red Sox in 2004 to their first World Series championship in 86 years. Fans in Cleveland shun the Cleveland Indians this year. That's because the team is not the Cleveland Indians. Management caved in to Woke Know Nothings and changed the name to Guardians this year. Attendance was 25th among the 30 major league teams.

The Democrat media, in conjunction with their allies in the polling industry, have driven the false narrative that the Democrats are likely to defy both history and their historically awful record and do fairly well in the midterms, particularly in Senate races. To borrow a word from Mr. 10%, this has always been malarkey. We go through this same dance every cycle where the polls miraculously start to shift towards the Republicans in the last month, as polling outfits grudgingly start moving towards something resembling reality to avoid copious amounts of eggs on their face. But, even at that, the polls during this cycle are likely the worst
Colorado 'Accidentally' Sends Out 30,000
Voter Registration Cards to Non-Citizens

In a move sure to raise a few eyebrows, Colorado has “accidentally” sent out 30,000 voter registration cards to non-citizens. That’s according to a report from Colorado Public Radio. According to the outlet, the 30,000 cards were sent to non-citizens because of a mix-up with the formatting of the query involving DMV records. In Colorado, illegal immigrants are able to obtain a driver’s license, which was apparently the nexus of the issue. The postcards were mailed to residents last week who had non-citizen Colorado driver’s licenses. The state sends postcards every two years to Coloradans it believes are eligible to vote but not yet registered.
