Yes TC there was no red wave, only a purple trickle. The Fetterman race is incomprehensible. How could a sane, a reasonable person possibly vote for this brain dead, pro-criminal, socialist ? In Georgia there is going to be a run-off. Walker trails Warnock by 35,000 . If Walker can get some of the 81,000 Libertarian votes it could pave the way for a win and control of the US Senate. This could become important in case of a vacancy (during the remaining term of Biden) on the SCOTUS. Keep hope alive.

Steyn is a brilliant commentator . Would love to see more of him on TV.

Shocking. Enough is enough. Let's stop it . We need to shout out.

TC: My oh my, that is a daunting undertaking. Good luck (-:

I can no longer vote in this congressional district but best wishes and good luck to Christian Castelli in his contest with the socialist Manning.

OMG. Never heard of him before but he was so prescient. Now this: https://www.foxnews.com/us/boston-university-lethal-covid-strain-lab Researchers at Boston University say they have developed a new COVID strain that has an 80% kill rate following a series of similar experiments first thought to have started the global pandemic that began in China. The variant, a combination of omicron and the original virus in Wuhan, killed 80% of the mice infected with it, the university said. When mice were only exposed to omicron, they experienced mild symptoms. The research was conducted by a team of scientists from Florida and Boston at the school's National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories.

What a courageous and well informed Aussie ( BTW I have been to his home state of Queensland. It has much to do and see ). He called bullshit on the COVID vaccine ( and was chastised by the presiding officer ) but he was right. A link between the vaccine and adverse events has been established.

Yes it was a dud. I commented on the speech in another post, so I won't repeat those remarks. I will ask the question : Is he senile or a pathological liar ? Here for extra measure is an observation from Katie Pavlich at Town Hall: "During his remarks, which were made without glaring communist red lights and U.S. Marines standing the background, Biden made a number of references to January 6 and the nudist attack on Paul Pelosi. He then oddly attempted to portray himself and Democrats as unifiers interested in getting along with their political opponents."

Stephen Miller is brilliant and has a keen mind. He is not intimidated.

The other night I was watching Jesse Waters on Fox when they interrupted the regular programming to bring us Biden'e speech. I watched all 25 minutes of his hogwash. When it was over I felt like I needed a shower. Here are some observations fro people whose opinions I value.... Scott Johnson from PowerLine: "President Biden roused himself to give his closing argument on behalf of Democrats in the midterm elections next Tuesday. We’ve heard this song before. It was a dispirited, demoralized, stupid, and mind-numbing speech." William Jacobson from Legal Insurrection: " Compared to Biden’s rage-filled Red Speech, which was infuriatingly insulting, Biden’s speech tonight at Union Station in D.C. was more sad and pathetic. Yes, Biden used a lot of the same rhetoric, but it was more hollow, more disassociated from reality, more bizarre."

An awfully frightening trend. This is hard evidence. Who will be held responsible . There is a meme out calling for amnesty. NO ! At some point those policy makers had to know what they were foisting on the public was risky and wrong.

Something is rotten in Denmark. The European Parliament surely needs to investigate this scandal. Internal controls ??

Heck, I don't know about all that. I know this that my late wife Sandra was born on Halloween 1940 and my youngest daughter was born on Halloween 1967. Happy birthday to them. (-:

These unexplained sudden deaths are strange. How do we get an answer. I dunno . The evidence is mixed. We deserve a serious accounting.

This is as crazy as California's sweeping Advanced Clean Cars II act that would also gradually phase out gas-operated vehicles in the state over the next dozen years. The only deadline in the EO is for a Needs Assessment to be submitted to the Governor in 11 months. Cooper is a megalomaniac and will be in the dustbin of history in 2 years.

The incumbent Kelly is a warm body with a pulse who votes with Biden 100% of the time. Masters is running a good campaign and has a chance to unseat the Democrat.

That is a stark reminder of the realities in the dynamics of the world economy. Raskin is a despicable cretin. Ukraine is a corrupt country. Some of the arms sent by the US to Ukraine are being sold on the black market. Something needs to be done . What and by who ?

HEALTH CARE NEWS ‘Every State Needs to Pass a Law’ Like This, Detransitioner Says of Arkansas SAFE Act Tyler O'Neil / @Tyler2ONeil / October 25, 2022 Detransitioners Who Rejected Transgender Identity Support SAFE Act Two men and one woman who underwent experimental medical interventions in pursuit of a transgender identity told The Daily Signal that they support Arkansas’ Save Adolescents From Experimentation Act, arguing that it is necessary to protect children from the horrors they themselves experienced. The SAFE Act prohibits anyone from performing controversial transgender medical interventions on minors, who are considered too young to vote, drink, get married, or purchase over-the-counter drugs. Medical experts testified against the SAFE Act last week, arguing on behalf of the Arkansas chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union that children need access to “gender-affirming care.” Billy Burleigh and Walt Heyer, men who previously identified as transgender but later desisted, and Chloe Cole, a woman who desisted from a male gender identity, said the exact opposite is true, however. “I believe every state needs to pass a law that protects our youth in this way,” Cole—a woman who once identified as male, took puberty-blockers, and had her breasts removed at age 15—told The Daily Signal on Monday. Cole recently launched Detrans United, an organization to support fellow detransitioners. She warned about the harms from medical interventions from personal experience. “The idea that the science is solved on these procedures is a ridiculous claim,” she said. “Confused children need to be protected from experimentation; it cannot be left up to the doctors, because they’ve been ideologically captured. The medical establishment needs to move past these treatments like they moved past lobotomies.” “As for these being necessary procedures? They need to do better for these kids than treating a mental health condition with cosmetic surgeries that remove function from the body,” Cole concluded. Heyer, a man who identified as a woman for eight years and says he has helped “literally thousands” rediscover their birth sex after living as transgender, also supports the SAFE Act. “Access to quality, scientifically proven care is critical,” Heyer, who runs the website SexChangeRegret.com, told The Daily Signal. “Unfortunately, blocking puberty in healthy adolescents, providing destructive hormones, or surgically removing healthy body parts is not scientifically proven care and the regrettable outcomes are well-documented.” “Kids under 18 need the Arkansas SAFE Act to protect them from unnecessary medical or surgical interventions that thwart natural development and cause life-long harm,” Heyer argued. “Kids under 18 need adults to step up and shield them from influences driving the social contagion, such as school, peers, and social media.” Heyer said that when children claim to identify as members of the opposite sex, that often traces back to psychological trauma, rather than a need to be affirmed as transgender. He said: Kids need the assistance of trauma therapists to uncover and resolve adverse childhood experiences. Instead of encouraging kids on a path to unnecessary and destructive surgery, let’s affirm and love our young people just the way they are—as the boy or girl they were born to be. Let’s allow them to experience the natural sexual development of puberty and to explore all issues, including gender confusion, with a licensed professional. Burleigh told The Daily Signal that his gender issues trace back to childhood trauma. He recounted having many problems as a child, such as a speech impediment, learning difficulties, and a lack of coordination. “Even in the first grade, I didn’t seem to fit in very well with the boys and I had this thought that came into my mind that God made a mistake and I was a girl,” Burleigh said. He also suffered sexual abuse at the hands of his diving coach. Burleigh kept these thoughts to himself for years, only opening up to his sister in college and transitioning at the age of 28 after reading journal articles that convinced him he had a female mind and the way to find happiness would be to change his body to conform to his mind. After two years of hormone therapy, Burleigh underwent a vaginoplasty, to turn his male genitalia into a facsimile of the female version. “The doctors couldn’t stop the bleeding,” he recounted. “I had additional gauze shoved into my man-made vagina and it was soaked with blood.” He said his planned two-week hospital stay stretched to three weeks, and he had to get a blood transfusion. Burleigh underwent other surgeries, but the problems worsened. “After doing this for seven years, I had more problems than when I started,” he said. He later transitioned back to male, undergoing a phalloplasty he described as “horrific.” “I am permanently scarred,” Burleigh said. “I am scarred across my throat, I still have some breast tissue, I don’t have male genitalia.” “In hindsight, I knew I was seeking acceptance, significance, and security,” he added. “I thought that I could find those by being a girl instead of just learning to be a boy and to be myself.” “I want my message to go out that I took the wrong way, that government and teachers are saying that you have to get ‘gender-affirming care,’ but from my experience and from those I’ve spoken with, we all have childhood issues and many of us have been sexually abused,” Burleigh said. “Children do not have awareness,” he added. “Their brains are not developed to the point to make an informed decision on such life-changing medical modifications. They’re not even responsible enough to go out and get a tattoo. How can you say they’re responsible to make this decision?” “Children need help with the problems they’re having and not to be ‘gender-affirmed,’” he concluded. The ACLU of Arkansas did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment for this report.

TC: I like your prognostications. We'll keep score on Nov 8th. Here is hoping for a RED wave.

MTG speaks truth to power. She will be a player in the new congress.

Watcha gonna do. Boehner resigned as Speaker and we got Paul Ryan. Both turned out to be mediocre. I'll accept whoever the caucus selects and hope for the best. Jim Jordan would be my choice but the establish wouldn't want him. Too hard to control,

H.L. Mencken said : " Every complex problem has a solution which is simple, direct, plausible—and wrong." Just say no to masks.

Kelly is a phony. Blake Masters is gaining steam. Hoping Arizonans will pull one out for the good guys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yxTYEJ2lBQ

To those of us who are not trained in medicine it is still clear, from these reports, that something is out of the ordinary here. Those Boards that Thorp cited should reverse their stand on the safety of the COVID vaccine in pregnancy and the FDA should order a suspension of them due to the apparent risks involved.

From his website: "Michael pens songs that can tug at your heartstrings, make grown men cry, encourage non-believers to turn an eye towards the sky, and also those that get your toes tapping and head bobbing, and fill your head with melodies that linger in your mind for days.
