Happy November!
We are now just four days from the election.
How's It Looking?
A good way to tell how an election is going at this point in the race is by asking, "Where are the candidates spending their precious time?"
Yesterday, Donald Trump was in New Mexico, which is supposed to be solidly in Harris's column -- but it’s a border state, so that could change. On Saturday, he'll be in Virginia -- another state that that prognosticators have assumed would go to Harris. However, early voting and polling in Virginia -- to say nothing of Gov. Glenn Youngkin taking measures to help ensure election integrity there -- indicate Old Dominion is in play.
Also, Real Clear Politics has moved New Hampshire from "Lean Harris" to "Tossup." Michigan and Minnesota are now "tossup" states, too.
The most accurate firm from 2020 has released its final swing state poll for the 2024 election. Atlas Intel shows Trump ahead in every swing state except Wisconsin.
North Carolina Trump 3.7 Georgia Trump 2.3 Arizona Trump 4.2 Nevada Trump 3.6 Wisconsin Harris 0.2 Michigan Trump 0.6 Pennsylvania Trump 1.5
ATLAS POLLS – SWING STATES
Harris leads in only one of the 7 decisive swing states for the Electoral College outcome: Wisconsin. Trump's advantage over his opponent is most significant in states such as AZ, NV and NC. The race is tight in the Rust Belt swing states. pic.twitter.com/H0AqUuraoL

ATLAS POLLS – SWING STATESIf Atlas Intel's current map holds, Trump will win the Electoral College 312 – 226. Also, national polling shows Trump with a scarce half of a percentage point advantage over Harris. By contrast, at this point in 2020, Joe Biden was up 7.8% on Trump.
But don't get cocky, kids. It's a long weekend, and the Rust Belt states are currently tighter than Joe Biden's mouth around a baby's foot.
Another sign of how things are going? Washington, D.C., has seen the polls, and businesses have started boarding up in anticipation of violence. According to The Washington Examiner, police and military training around the capital is also increasing.
They Think Insults Will Work? Cuban Thinks No "Strong, Intelligent" Women Support Trump
Kamala Harris surrogate, billionaire Mark Cuban, went on The View yesterday morning to insult conservative women. Cuban declared, "You never see Trump around strong, intelligent women."
DISGUSTING: Top Kamala surrogate Mark Cuban says no "strong, intelligent women" support President Trump.
They're now openly attacking the millions of strong, intelligent women fighting alongside President Trump every day to Make America Great Again.

Amusingly, on Tuesday, the strong, intelligent woman to whom Mark Cuban sold a majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks NBA team donated $100 million to help Trump's campaign. Miriam Adelson dropped the hundred big ones into her Preserve America PAC.
Meanwhile Cuban admitted during a campaign appearance that "your costs are going up. They're going up a lot." With surrogates like this ...
Telling the Truth
Meanwhile, Harris is making Bidenesque gaffes -- or saying the quiet part out loud. During a rally in Arizona Thursday, she proclaimed, "I have fought for many who have harmed other human beings."

It's the truest thing she's said so far in the campaign, given how hard she fought for an open border, to free the 2020 rioters, has sought to eliminate ICE, and to defund the police -- and don't even get us started on her mandating the jab.
"More Progressive" Than She Lets On: I Thought She Wasn't Going to Take Anyone's Guns Away
You know how testy Harris gets when Trump points out her history of wanting to take away people’s guns? In their presidential debate she barked at him, "We're not taking anyone's guns away, so stop with the continuous lying about the stuff!"
On Wednesday her White House said otherwise:

This fits in precisely with what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said during an appearance on the Save America podcast. AOC admitted Harris is "more progressive" than she is pretending to be on the campaign trail. AOC rattled off all the radical progressive policies she holds dear, before adding,
First of all, I think she [Harris] believes in them, like, much more, on a personal level, than, oftentimes, what campaign rhetoric fourteen days out from an election would have someone believe.
Bernie Sanders has said much the same thing. Harris is faking being more moderate just to get elected.
Beat the Cheat: Kentucky
Widespread or a one-time fluke? This video shows a voter repeatedly trying to select Donald Trump, only to have the machine select Kamala Harris instead.

Weird how all the errors with voting machines only go one way.
Beat the Cheat: Pennsylvania
An effort by the Soros-funded district attorney of Philadelphia to stop Elon Musk's $1 million daily giveaways to register voters got slapped down Thursday. State Judge Angelo Foglietta put a hold on the lawsuit that aims to stop Musk from giving the money away each day to someone who signs his petition protecting constitutional rights, ordering the hold until federal judges can take up the case. Since that won't likely happen before the election, the effort to stifle Musk has failed.
Beat the Cheat: Arizona
But there’s been a victory in Arizona for election integrity. Maricopa County Superior Court ordered Secretary of State Adrian Fontes to turn over the list of 218,000 voters who were incorrectly registered, despite offering no proof of U.S. citizenship. And he has to do it by Monday.
Said America First Legal, which brought the case against Arizona:
When Secretary Fontes discovered the glitch that allowed 218,000 individuals to register without providing proof of citizenship, he should have immediately shared the list of affected individuals with Arizona's county recorders, who are in charge of verifying the citizenship of voters. Instead, he has jealously guarded the list, refusing to share it with anyone.
This suit was about restoring transparency and ensuring that county recorders can do their jobs by verifying the citizenship of voters. It is unfortunate that Secretary Fontes so aggressively opposed our common-sense efforts to help restore trust in our state's election system. This was a case we never should have needed to file.
Why would a Democrat want to keep hundreds of thousands of people with dubious citizenship on the voter rolls?
RFK Jr. Receives His Assignment
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will be rolling up his sleeves and doing real work in a new Trump administration. According to RFK, Jr.:
"President Trump has asked me to reorganize the federal health agencies, which is CDC, NIH, FDA. He's asked me to clean up the corruption and to end the chronic disease epidemic in this country."

So what do you think? Is Kennedy set to be Secretary of Health and Human Services?
It's pretty amazing to look at the team of people Trump has assembled to actually work in a second administration, including Kennedy, Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tulsi Gabbard, and J.D. Vance. There’s not a cross-dressing, dog-role-playing, women's-luggage stealer among them.
Or a Commie-loving, riot-tolerating, abortion-up-to-birth-allowing, tampon-to-boys-peddling, self-described "knucklehead."
It isn’t just about the candidate, it's also about who they're bringing to sit at the table.
