MAGIC IN THE MUNDANE
Nothing to do on Election Day but wait for the verdict. We need a break from all the frenetic frenzy swirling around us. So why don’t we all relax, forget about everything for a moment, take your mind off it all, while I tell you a story.
Gather around, boys n' girls, and let me tell you a story about moral debauchery during the greatest age of intellectuality mankind has ever known, about kings and concubines, dukes and adulterers, heroism and war, with an ending that will change the way you look at the most mundane everyday thing.
We are in 18th century France. The Sun King, Louis XIV (1638-1715), is dead, his 72 year reign of total extravagance ending with a catastrophic war lasting 14 years and bankrupting his nation (the War of Spanish Succession 1701-14). Louis' great-grandson is his only descendant left alive, who becomes Louis XV (1710-1774) at age five.
AMERICA TAKES AN IQ TEST TODAY
Today, November 6, 2018, America takes an IQ Test. Or perhaps we should say a common sense test. Or even more a test to see the degree to which it has been brainwashed.
You would think that with all economic indicators at or near an all-time high, unemployment at an all-time low (notably for minorities and women), wages rising as they haven't in years, the country at peace with the threat of evil doers from ISIS to North Korea on the wane, and an incredible, indeed unprecedented, number of presidential accomplishments in 20 months this election would be the proverbial no-brainer for voters.
But no, the president – say the demented Dems and their propagandists -- tweets too much, is a braggart, insults people, is a totalitarian, a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, a xenophobe, etc., etc.
Never mind what he actually does provides no evidence of that, indeed often proves the opposite. He has bad manners. The country must throw him and his party out. The media says so and it has to be.
This is "can't stand prosperity" on steroids. It is a country shooting itself in the foot to please a group of "elites" whose sensibilities are offended and, even more, who are driven by envy and a lust for power. See what I mean by an IQ Test?

HALF-FULL REPORT 11/02/18
Welcome to the Happy Halloween HFR! There will be plenty more trick-or-treats in the next 80 hours or so until Election Day, but those this week have been corkers.
In addition to holding massive record-breaking rallies all over the country for GOP candidates with his inexhaustible energy, the President has been triggering the Enemedia into meltdown after meltdown all week long.
He freaked them out yet again yesterday afternoon (11/01) in his White House speech, here in full at TTP: Our Illegal Immigration Crisis and U.S. Border Security. This is what in particular gave them ‘splodey heads…
An amazing week, it’s looking good, here we go!
OUR ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION CRISIS AND U.S. BORDER SECURITY
[This is the full video and text of the President’s address at the White House yesterday, 11/01]
THE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you very much, everyone. Appreciate it. And good afternoon. I would like to provide an update to the American people regarding the crisis on our southern border — and crisis it is.
Illegal immigration affects the lives of all Americans. Illegal immigration hurts American workers; burdens American taxpayers; and undermines public safety; and places enormous strain on local schools, hospitals, and communities in general, taking precious resources away from the poorest Americans who need them most. Illegal immigration costs our country billions and billions of dollars each year.
America is a welcoming country. And under my leadership, it’s a welcoming country. We lead the world in humanitarian protection and assistance, by far. There’s nobody even close. We have the largest and most expansive immigration programs anywhere on the planet.
We’ve issued 40 million green cards since 1970, which means the permanent residency and a path to citizenship for many, many people. But we will not allow our generosity to be abused by those who would break our laws, defy our rules, violate our borders, break into our country illegally. We won’t allow it.
TRUMP IS RIGHT, ENDING BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP IS CONSTITUTIONAL
President Trump’s announcement Tuesday (10/30) that he is preparing an executive order to end birthright citizenship has the left and even some conservatives in an uproar.
But the president is correct when he says that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution does not require universal birthright citizenship.
An executive order by President Trump ending birthright citizenship would face a certain court challenge that would wind up in the Supreme Court. But based on my research of this issue over several years, I believe the president’s view is consistent with the view of the framers of the amendment.
Those who claim the 14th Amendment mandates that anyone born in the U.S. is automatically an American citizen are misinterpreting the amendment in a manner inconsistent with the intent of the amendment’s framers. Here’s why
A SHORTER PATH TO PROSPERITY THAN TO ILLEGALLY INVADE OUR COUNTRY
As I write this, there are so-called “caravans” of several thousand people coming north, primarily from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras with the intent of illegally invading the United States.
Despite 200 years of independence, these three countries never developed the institutions and policies to give them prosperity and liberty. They are functioning democracies, but with considerable corruption.
The United States, the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, and other foreign and multilateral institutions have provided considerable foreign aid to these countries for decades, with the goal of making them sufficiently prosperous so their citizens would no longer desire to flee to the United States.
These programs have not only failed but many times actually led to more corruption.
There now appears to be a way out that is not dependent on enlightened and competent leadership or traditional foreign aid programs.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP KEEP THE HOUSE RIGHT NOW
The lead article on Breitbart this morning (10/31) is: “Ten Races Could Determine Who Controls House After Midterms.”
One of the ten is California CD 48:
“CA-48: Incumbent Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA-48) now has a two point lead in this Orange County district over his Democrat challenger, Harley Rouda, in a poll released by Monmouth University last week. While still a statistical tie, a poll earlier this month showed the two candidates in a dead heat, 48 percent to 48 percent.The Left has always hated Dana for his key role in getting rid of their idol, the Soviet Union, for being so unapologetically conservative across the board – for 30 years the ACU Ratings of Congress has given him a well over 90% conservative score (latest ranking 94.42%) – and now so totally pro-MAGA.
For more than half a century, Orange County was the strongest Republican county in California. This district, however, has been moving slowly left for some time. In 2016, Hillary Clinton won the district by two points.”
The difference is that this year, the Left and the Dems have been pouring money into the campaign of Dana’s opponent, a carpetbagger from Columbus, Ohio named Harley Rouda, Jr. His father, Rouda, Sr., was a self-made entrepreneur who built a very successful business from scratch (HER Realtors in Ohio).
Harley, Jr. is an all too-typical child of inherited wealth, who having never earned his money resents and apologizes for it by embracing socialist-fascist anti-capitalist left wing causes and politics. So he moved to California and is trying to buy a seat in Congress and join Nancy Pelosi in trashing America.
As reported by Breitbart (10/12), Rouda supports every far-left position there is, open borders, amnesty for illegals, sanctuary cities, pro-abortion, the entire Pelosi-Bernie-Antifa agenda.
So far, Dana’s popularity has been able to fend Rouda off. But just now, radical left-wing billionaires have suddenly flooded Rouda’s campaign coffers with millions.
On October 25. The Orange County Register reported that Billionaire Michael Bloomberg Spends $4 Million to Back Rouda and Defeat Rohrabacher, Making CA-48 the Priciest House Race in the US.
Almost 80% of the $18 million-cost of the race comes from radical lefties like Bloomberg and Soros to defeat Dana.
Dana can fight back and triumph, but he needs our help to do so.
CARAVAN CONTRADICTIONS
A “caravan”—the euphemism for a current invading foot-army of more than 10,000 Central Americans—of would-be border crossers has now passed deep into Mexico.
The marchers promise they will continue another 1,000 miles and more northward to the U.S. border, despite warnings from President Trump that as unauthorized immigrants they will be turned away by an armed US Military.
No one has yet explained how, or by whom or what, such a mass of humanity has been supplied, cared for, and organized. But for all the staged midterm theatrics, the Invasion Caravan illustrates the abject ironies and paradoxes of the entire illegal alien project.
Let’s itemize and expose these blatant contradictions.
RED WAVE ON THE HORIZON
According to most published polls, Democrats have a 50-50 (or better) chance to win control of the House of Representatives, while Republican gains in the Senate likely will be minimal.
The signs on the ground, electoral history, and logic say something very different.
Thanks to early voting (walk-in and absentee), 35 to 40 percent of all votes in most states will be cast before election day.
According to polls, Senate races in Florida, Arizona, Indiana and Montana are nail biters. But Republicans are crushing Democrats in early voting in Florida, Arizona and (especially) in Indiana and Montana. This is yuge, because in every election before this, Democrats “won” early voting, typically by large margins.
The other big sign is the phenomenon of the Trump rally. There has never been anything like this. The president is drawing enormous, enthusiastic crowds wherever he goes. People who line up eight hours or more before a rally are highly likely to vote. Zero, by contrast, can’t fill high school gyms in deep blue territory.
So here’s why polls differ from reality.
