When people ask me to predict whether Trump or Biden will win the election, I like to say that I don’t predict elections; I just worry about them. However, as a worrier, I’m always on the lookout for signs that will ease my worries. With the election only 17 days away, there are a surprising number of signs that Biden’s allegedly spectacular polling lead is illusory.

[..]
That’s the bad news. Here is the more cheering information:

1. The Biden campaign, which used the Wuhan virus as an excuse not to have any ground game, is suddenly sending volunteers to do door-to-door canvassing in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Michigan, Nevada. You don’t do that if you’re confident you’ll win.

Everything happening in the US, not to mention in Washington, DC, is deeply enmeshed in the presidential election less than three weeks away. This has been an election fought for almost four years, since a huge segment of the country was dismayed (even outraged) by the results of the 2016 election.

If any event is calculated to arouse controversy, emotion and even hostility, it is the last-minute nomination by President Donald Trump of a Supreme Court justice to take the position formerly occupied by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a distinguished and long-serving justice, a social icon for the equality of women, and for many, a cultural folk hero.

And then, there are settlements.

Most people associate the word these days with Jews wanting to return to lands–beyond Israel’s 1949 UN-imposed, 9 to 15 mile wide armistice line existence–which they have called home, lived on, and owned property in for millennia but which much of the world now declares must once again become Judenrein.

After the official breakup of the centuries old Ottoman Turkish Empire almost a hundred years ago, the Minutes of the League of Nations’ Permanent Mandates Commission and other solid documentation described a huge influx of Arabs coming into the original 1920, and later post-1922, Mandate of Palestine. The original area included all of present day Jordan as well as Gaza, Judea and Samaria (“West Bank”), Israel, and even the Golan Heights. Arabs poured in largely because of the explosive economic activity going on due to the Jews.

It was disgraceful that, during ABC’s “faux” townhall, George Stephanopoulos did not ask Joe Biden about the contents of the computer that Hunter Biden abandoned at a repair shop. When CBS News’s Bo Erickson dared to ask Biden that question, Biden didn’t even attempt an answer. He lashed out angrily at Erickson for daring to ask the question.

Erickson posed the question while Biden was preparing to board a gas-guzzling private jet. Speaking respectfully, he said, “Mr. Biden, what is your response to the New York Post story about your son, sir?”

Biden instantly went on the attack:

JUDICIAL WATCH

Back in January, Judicial Watch had some big news. Our investigation of voter rolls nationwide turned up 2.5 million extra names. Our analysis of data from the U.S Election Assistance Commission found 378 counties that had a combined 2.5 million more voter registrations than citizens old enough to vote. We warned five states—California, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Colorado, and Virginia—that we intended to sue unless they cleaned up their voter rolls.

Judicial Watch is the national leader in election integrity education and litigation. We’re cleaning up dirty voter rolls across the nation. Under the National Voter Registration Act, states are required to remove “inactive voters” from registration rolls if they do not respond to an address confirmation notice and then fail to vote in the next two general federal elections. Many “inactive voters” in fact have died or moved to a new location.

Suspect born in Moscow; detainees include parents of child at school where educator recently showed cartoons of Prophet Mohammed during class discussion on freedom of expression

Police officers block the access after a history teacher who opened a discussion with students on caricatures of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad was decapitated in a French street on Friday and police have shot the suspected killer dead, Oct. 16, 2020 in Conflans-Saint-Honorine, north of Paris.

PARIS (AFP) — The man suspected of beheading a French teacher who showed his students cartoons of the prophet Mohammed was an 18-year-old Chechen, a source said Saturday, in what President Emmanuel Macron called an “Islamist terror attack.”

The attack took place late Friday afternoon near the middle school where the teacher worked in Conflans Saint-Honorine, a northwestern suburb around 30 kilometers (20 miles) from central Paris.

According to the FBI Uniform Crime Report and the Washington Post, last year there were 10 million arrests by police…10 Million!!

Out of those 10 MILLION arrests, there were 1,004 officer-involved fatalities.

Out of those 1,004 officer-involved fatalities, 41 were unarmed.

Out of those 41-officer involved unarmed fatalities (now you might find it hard to believe I know), but out of 41 deaths, now hear this…

19 were white

9 were black

Now one is one too many, but to me, 41 out of 10 million is a pretty small percentage! (.00041%)

The deception polling game has blanketed the country with ‘Biden is way ahead’ and ‘It will take a miracle for Trump to win.’  Most of the media does and pollster gurus act like they are the 4th person of the Trinity.  They know what will happen and expect us ‘stupid people in America’ to understand Trump has already lost because of the telemarketer questions they ask at dinner time.

Just a small little thing that Americans already know is that pollsters don’t get real information by calling night and day into our homes.  Only this week, a prerecorded message called me at dinner time and even though it said ‘Hi, this is Donald Trump’….and went on with the push to vote, I hung up because I was busy, didn’t want a pitch or interruption and already knew I was a Trump supporter and had already voted for him.

Germany is confused. It banned Hizballah, and some of its politicians are now pushing for a probe into Islamic Relief funding and its ties to Muslim Brotherhood. But now an alarming finding has been revealed in a study by the American Jewish Committee :

Not only is Berlin funding Palestinian NGOs undermined by the terror organization PFLP [Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine], but also partnering with the ‘Islamic Center Hamburg’ (IZH), which is part of radical Shiite networks in this country.

Germany is essentially in cahoots with jihad terrorists, including Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism. One needs to keep in mind, however, that Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated organizations (and individuals) operating in America, Canada, and throughout the West are just as dangerous, and they have managed to weave their way into “anti-racism” activism and into every level of government.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh has put the Islamic regime of Iran in a difficult position. While the government is trying to be neutral, other regime elements have openly taken sides in the conflict.

The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh has flared up once again, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of people. Although the issue revolves around the nexus where territory, identity, and authority meet, wider international rivalries could have serious ramifications for the clash.

The Islamic regime of Iran is a relevant actor in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, as it shares borders with both countries. During the recent fighting, several rockets have hit Iranian soil.
