CNN's First Electoral Map Shows Biden
in Big Trouble, Trump in Position to Win

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 1/8/2024 1:05:42 AM

CNN has come out with its first electoral map of the campaign season and the "Road to 270." The map is based on polling and other factors they detailed. And it is that path to 270 that we attempt to explore here. We base this current outlook on public and private polling, conversations with campaign advisers, Republican and Democratic political operatives, members of Congress, and political professionals involved with outside groups poised to be active in the race. First, let's start by saying how hilarious it is that they spent multiple paragraphs downplaying the map before they even started talking about it. Here's a small

Why don't these talking heads figure in election fraud. Nothing has been done to correct it, they'll do it again, and people who write these articles should consider the rigged system. Plus, the Dems are going to replace Joe, maybe even with Michelle Obama, come convention time in August.

Before the 2016 election the Corporate Media showed maps giving Hillary 450 electoral votes. This merely is a warning to the election thieves that they need to gear up!

These polls would be 'unexpectedly' suppressed...if they wanted the Vegetable to run. Just another ploy to cut him loose. They want a malleable puppet, but not Mortimer Snerd.

This close margin explains why they need to knock Trump off the ballot in a few states. The problem with that strategy is that the states that are that corrupt, would vote blue anyway.

Why do I feel like we're being Played? The Media, for days now, has been saying DeSantis is going to quit after Iowa. Now CNN, of all people, is broadcasting that Biden is headed for a loss. When has the Media EVER done that? And why is Nikki Haley being untouched? This whole thing doesn't add up. I'm wondering if the Democrats already have another "Knockout" in store for Trump. They're saving it until they get the right people in place. DeSantis out. Haley left to take Trump's place if the Democrats can finally nail him to the Wall with something they made up that's worse than all the Others they dreamed up! They figure Nikki Haley against Biden is a SURE THING for the Democrats to win..again! It's a year away folks and anything can happen and probably will! I'm not so sure we should believe everything the MEDIA is suddenly feeding us! When Gov. DeSantis announces he is stepping out, I will believe it! And if he does, I fully expect him to endorse Trump! I wouldn't expect anything less of Him. But I also expect the Democrats are not through with Trump just yet!

Don't fall for it. When you add up all the people 'saving the planet', all the America-haters, all the people that think they actually benefit from Washington, all the people voting black rights, womyn's rights, and LGBTQ+ rights, that's alot of people. Add on top of that a huge dose of Republicans acting like Democrats, media propaganda, and a huge dose of voter fraud and the Democrats are in the driver's seat.

OK, again my theory that if they can knock Trump out, then they are OK with Haley, because she - with respect - has not got the courage to fight the IC. I mean, who does. But anyway, she does not. So long as it is not Trump and not de Santis, I think they are OK with a Haley win and then they will say seeeee we ARE honest.

Dave Calhoun, president and CEO of aircraft manufacturing giant Boeing, admitted to employees in a meeting Tuesday that the company is "acknowledging our mistake" after the door plug of a 737 Max 9 blew out in midair during an Alaska Airlines flight last week, just minutes after the plane had taken off from Portland, Oregon. "We're going to approach this number one acknowledging our mistake," Calhoun said in the meeting, a Boeing spokesperson confirmed to CBS News.

The cockpit door aboard last week’s troubled Alaska Airlines flight surprised the flight crew by swinging open seconds after the fuselage suffered a potentially catastrophic rupture, according to the chair of the federal agency investigating the incident. National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy said during a news briefing Monday that the cockpit doors flew open immediately after the paneled-over exit door popped off of the fuselage. A flight attendant had to try three times to get it to close again, Homendy said. “The cockpit doors flew open immediately and at this point the flight attendant in the forward portion of the aircraft was standing.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has been hospitalized since Jan. 1 for complications following a surgery to treat prostate cancer, officials at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center said Tuesday. The news of Austin's treatment and condition came after a tortious week during which Austin was hospitalized, but the Pentagon refused to say why. Austin underwent the initial prostate cancer surgery on Dec. 25, during which he was under general anesthesia, according to doctors from Walter Reed. On Jan. 1, Austin experienced complications from the surgery including nausea and severe abdominal, hip and leg pain, which was later identified as a urinary tract infection. On Jan. 2, he was

A federal appeals panel expressed deep skepticism Tuesday toward Donald Trump’s argument that he can’t be prosecuted for trying to overturn the 2020 election, raising the potentially extreme implications of absolute presidential immunity. Trump’s lawyers argued that his federal election subversion indictment should be dismissed because he is immune from prosecution. But the three judges on the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit panel questioned whether this immunity theory championed by Trump’s lawyers would allow presidents to sell pardons or even assassinate political opponents. Special counsel Jack Smith’s team argued that a president is not above the law, warning that allowing presidential immunity from prosecution

A push by the Biden administration to make dishwashers and washing machines more efficient was shot down by a judge as "arbitrary and capricious," after 11 Republican-run states brought legal action over the rule changes. In a ruling on Monday, U.S. Appeals Court Judge Andrew Oldham said that it was unclear whether the Department of Energy (DOE) had the statutory authority to regulate water use in such appliances, and that the new rules it had proposed might not lead to less water use.//snip//"There is no fourth branch of government sanctioned in the United States Constitution," Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, among those to bring the review, wrote following the court ruling.

In an escalation of earlier reporting that showed multiple "journalists" working for the Associated Press and The New York Times participating in the October 7th attack on Israel, live-stream footage has now been uncovered that illustrates even more direct coordination with Hamas terrorists. As RedState originally reported, Hassan Eslaiah, who was freelancing for CNN, Reuters, and the AP, filmed himself riding into Israel on October 7th carrying a grenade. Another "journalist" was also implicated, though the Times defended his work despite evidence he had advance knowledge of the attack. The claim from the Times was that these "journalists" had simply been caught up in quickly unfolding events

China’s state-run propaganda newspaper Global Times declared President Joe Biden “inadequate” and his administration “disorderly” on Monday over the secret hospitalization of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin – a criticism levied nearly five months after the still-unexplained disappearance of now-former Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu. Austin was reportedly hospitalized on January 1 over what the Pentagon described as “complications” from an undisclosed “elective medical procedure.” The Pentagon chief reportedly did not tell President Biden – who was on vacation through January 2 – that he had been hospitalized. Austin reportedly also failed to inform National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan or his Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks, who was

With US forces under regular attack across the Mideast and the Navy actively engaged with Houthi forces in the Red Sea, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was out of commission in the hospital from Monday on. Worse, no one told the White House; worse yet, neither President Biden nor National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan noticed. Not until the Pentagon let Sullivan know on Thursday. Anyone thinking that the nation is well-led despite Biden’s blatant feebleness better think again: Austin and his deputies ignored the law here, while Sullivan was plainly asleep at the switch. Again, with American forces regularly under fire, and our friends in Ukraine and Israel fully at war

If Austin were to issue a resignation Biden would refuse it, a person among them said. “Austin’s going nowhere,” one official told Politico. The report noted Republicans have been calling for Biden to dismiss the defense secretary. (Photo) During a recent interview, Sen.
