HALF-FULL REPORT 10/11/24
No wonder at all that that this past week is being called “Kamala’s Worst Week Ever.” Some samples why:
Then it got worse. Yesterday (10/10): Ex-CBS Staffers Call For Outside Probe Of ‘60 Minutes’ Interview With Kamala Harris Amid Editing Scandal.

POTUS was understandably issed-pay:
On Tuesday night (10/08), she appeared on CBS’ late night television show with Stephen Colbert, who asked her: “You advocate change. In a Harris Administration, what would change and what would remain the same?” You’d think she’d have a solidly prepared clear answer for such an expected question. Instead, we get:
I don’t like to post a lot of political content, but this clip should scare EVERYONE. She is the sitting VP and running for President of the United States. She is incapable of putting a sentence together without a teleprompter and even she appears to know she is in way over her… pic.twitter.com/iUgKsDRk7K

And last night (10/10) at a townhall for undecided Hispanic voters in Nevada aired nationally by Univision, as reported by the Daily Mail: The Takeaways From Kamala Harris’ Town Hall: Dodging Questions, More Vague Answers.
Victor Davis Hanson summed up Kamala’s Worst Week Ever thusly:
“Kamala Harris is terrifying a large number of Democrats and independents, because they think, ‘Do I really want to be represented for four years by this empty pantsuit? She doesn’t know how to speak, she can’t answer a question. She bats her eyes, she winks, she’s a disaster. To the extent that she’s not a disaster, she’s a hard leftist. And I don’t want any more of this for four years.’ She’s told us, it’s time to turn the page. It’s time to move on. Then she’s asked — ‘Can you think of anything that you would have done differently than President Biden over the last four years – and she answers, ‘There’s not a thing that comes to mind.’ She just blew up her whole campaign.”

Bear in mind that Real Clear Politics (RCP) averages are always skewed Dem and many Trumpers don’t bother answering online polls at all. Nevertheless, it’s easy to see why, on Wednesday (9/09), Famous Democrat Strategist James Carville Admits He’s ‘Scared To Death’ About Election Day.
And why Zero is so frustrated he took to insulting his fellow black “brothers” to their face in Pittsburgh last night (10/10): Obama Admits Harris Campaign Doesn’t Have ‘Energy’ Of His WH Run – Claims Black Men Opposed To Her ‘Aren’t Feeling The Idea Of Having A Woman As President’. Sorry, Barry, O=Zero still, always will.
Because VP Heels Up is crashing and burning far worse than what the RCP says: Both Dem and GOP Private Polling Shows Kamala Harris Is in Huge Trouble.
After all, even the New York Times itself has given up on the Senate. Yesterday (10/10): Republicans Appear Poised to Take Control Of The Senate.
“The latest polling from the New York Times and Siena College shows Republicans leading in key Senate races in Montana, Texas, and Florida. Control of the Senate appears likely to flip from the Democrat Party to the Republican Party this fall, as one of the nation’s most endangered Democrats, Senator Jon Tester of Montana, trails his Republican challenger. Former Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy leads Mr. Tester 52 percent to 44 percent, in a conservative state where former President Donald J. Trump is ahead by 17 percentage points.”
The Dems have only a 1-seat Senate majority. That will now flip with Sheehy in Montana, and Jim Justice taking West Virginia, while Rick Scott and Ted Cruz keep their Florida and Texas seat. Growing likelihood that Bernie Moreno will take Sherrod Brown’s Ohio seat, and Dave McCormick may do the same to Bob Casey in Pennsylvania. Trump is campaigning strong for both.
Trump-endorsed Mike Rogers has a very good shot at taking Michigan’s open seat away from Elissa Slotkin. Trump’s campaign promise in Detroit yesterday (10/10) to make interest on car loans fully tax-deductible is really going to help Rogers.
Regarding Arizona, this from POTUS this morning (10/11):
The Trump-endorsed Senate Candidate in Arizona, @KariLake, crushed her Liberal Democrat Opponent last night, Radical Ruben Gallego. Kari will help me Secure our Border, Stop Inflation, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! In-person and absentee voting has now started in Arizona, so get… pic.twitter.com/BspNbR8AFW

So we’ll have at least a 52-48 Senate, possibly up to 55-45. And of course, Trump will sweep Mitch out the Majority Leader door. Good bet he’ll have Tom Cotton replace him.

Fascinating new survey from Populace, a non-partisan think tank in Massachusetts, which figured out a way to discern what 20,000 Americans think privately and compare that to what they are willing to say publicly.

Ever hear of Polymarket? It’s an offshore decentralized predication platform on which users put up real money betting on the outcome of world events. As of this week, there is $1.4 billion bet on the outcome of the US presidential race on Polymarket. This is no poll, this is real people betting real money on Trump vs. Harris.
As of today (10/11), Polymarket has Trump 53.7%, Harris 46.7%. That’s because of the critical swing states. You can bet on them individually. Here they are on Polymarket:
While North Carolina is not listed by itself, it’s 63% Trump 37% Harris. According to people betting 1.4 billion dollars of their own, Trump wins the Electoral College going away.

Q: Why does Maryland Dem Congressman Jamie Raskin wear a bandana wrapped around his head? A: It’s to cover up his circumcision scars.
Yesterday (10/10), one of the biggest woke schmucks in Congress announced he and several of his colleagues won’t commit to certifying a Trump win. In other words, do to Trump on this coming Jan 6 what they accuse him of doing on Jan 6 four years ago. And it gets worse, for recall who will be President of the Senate to control and oversee Congress when it meets on January 6 in a Joint Session to tabulate and certify the Electoral Vote count – the Vice President, Kamala Harris.
The one fly in Jamie’s ointment is that failure by that Joint Session to certify a majority of 270 or more EVs for one candidate forces a contingent election of the House only, not by the total Members, but one vote each by all 50 state delegations. Currently, in the 118th Congress, the GOP has a delegation majority in 24 states, the Dems in 23, with 3 ties.
However, the new 119th Congress will be sworn in on three days earlier on January 3. A Trump wave would easily change that state delegation balance in GOP’s favor. Sorry, Jaime – you’re Trumped.
The real problem is not Demtard Jan6 shenanigans, but the maniacal lawfare exploding after November 5. As we were in Bush v Gore in 2004 and again in Texas v Pennsylvania in 2020, we will be dependent on Supreme Court decisions. They saved us in ‘04 and failed us in ’20. Now the very institution of the Supreme Court depends on how they decide, for the Dems are committed to destroying it.
Indeed, the very existence of America depends on this. We all want the election to be over on November 5 or early the next morning. But we may need to brace ourselves for weeks of anguish and anxiety, for the Dems are going to go criminally crazy if they don’t get their way. Pray as hard as you can we won’t need to.

Today (10/11): Towering Inferno With 200ft High Flames Erupts At Russian Oil Refinery After Ukrainian Missile Strike.
You read in TTP yesterday how Ukraine Leads The World in Drone innovation And Production. This is one clear example of dozens. The Feodosia refinery/fuel depot in Crimea is the major source of fuel enabling the Russian military to continue their occupation of Ukraine’s Crimea. The strike was four days ago. It’s still burning today with giant fuel tanks continuing to explode.
Yesterday (10/10), the Pentagon reported: Russia Has Suffered More Casualties In Ukraine War Than All Other Conflicts Combined Since WWII: Pentagon. Well over 600,000 Russian deaths and casualties so far. The daily death and casualty count for last month September was close to 1,500, so the numbers are rising fast as untrained recruits are forced to attack in waves dying uselessly en masse. All for nothing except one single man’s pathological ego
This cannot be sustained.

That’s it, Folks. A great week for Americans, lousy for the AINOs – Americans In Name Only. Let’s close with a quintet of feel-goods. Enjoy.
And back in Butler, PA……
