Go Desantis…..….
I voted Friday instead of my usual election day due to feeling as if I’m on the way to the flu bug…
I was afraid to wait and be too sick to make it to the polls on Tuesday……

Hope you’re feeling better! I told some friends of mine something similar. They were planning to go vote on Tuesday, but the middle of last week I asked them what if something happens (God forbid) between now and then and you can’t make it? Happy to say by yesterday I had heard from all of them, and all of them had voted early 🙂

Tip for Flu Virus: A research study carried out many years ago, in the 1970s.
They were curious as to why entire rural communities weren’t sick (French European ancestry) while everybody was dying back in early 1900s.
They discovered those communities had a particular habit. They laid out onions throughout the house & especially in common areas.
So, the scientists experimented with it. What they discovered is just WOW. The onion peels absorbed the virus.
ME: I was sick twice a year with the flu all my life. Very sick. And with flu shots, once a year at least but not deathly sick although incapacitated.
So, back six years ago, I stopped taking the flu shots and put onions in a bowl in the living room and kitchen. You don’t need many, only one 5-lb pound bag will do the trick.
I have never been sick since then. Just thoughts.

I’ve been wondering for the last week or so about the GOP EV and if more people who usually vote on election day are voting early. There have been many blogs pointing out that our numbers are so much better than historically for EV and that we usually win election day.
As long as we win, I don’t care when people vote, I just hope our significantly increased EV doesn’t mean significantly reduced election day.
LikeLiked by 5 people
Republicans win on election day because they are self-motivated voters. Democrats have historically won in-person early voting because they pay people to drive low info voters (AKA Democrats) to the polls and tell them how to vote. They can get a lot more people to the polls when they have several weeks to do it, rather than a single day.
So if Republicans are now winning early voting, it is most likely because there is increased voter enthusiasm among Republicans, which means unless Republicans have suddenly altered their voting patterns, we should see an increase on Election Day proprtional to the early voting increase, as well.

More Gillum Graft
Among the many questions about an FBI corruption probe nagging Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum is what does his political rise have to do with 311 E. Jennings St.?
It starts with money. In the first three months after Gillum announced his bid for mayor in April 2013, the decade-serving city commissioner received $8,000 from a host of companies using that address. And businesses there have received a number of financial favors from the city and the mayor, who, as a member of the Community Redevelopment Agency Board, voted for the subsidies.
Those dealings are receiving heightened scrutiny since the FBI last year issued subpoenas to 38 individuals and companies, more than a dozen of which are connected to the Jennings Street address. Among the names on the subpoenas is Adam Corey, Gillum’s former campaign treasurer.
A recurrent name in them, along with Jennings Street, is local businessman J.T. Burnette, a major Gillum backer who in 2014 received $883,000 in city subsidies for developing a downtown hotel.
In all, 52 LLCs listing the Jennings Street address, many of which are run by Burnette, have donated to state and local campaigns. Those businesses include Hunter & Harp, a partnership between Burnette and former bank executive James Kittrell, and Sunnyland Solar, another Burnette-related business connected to a city-subsidized clean energy project now under FBI scrutiny. Gillum voted in 2011 to give Sunnyland Solar up to $5.4 million in subsidies.

Despite caveats, the distinct impression here is that –as in 2010– Red Wave turnout will dissolve Rat demesnes like sandcastles. Can’t wait to see Wednesday’s headlines: “Them that takes cakes which the Parsee-man bakes, make dreadful mistakes.”
Among other qualitative indicators, commentators such as David Frum give Rats an 85% probability of re-installing their hate-white-American-males etc. Pelosi-burger as Speaktresse of the House. This aligns with the LA Times’ notorious screenshot at 3:05 PM on November 8th 2016, proclaiming Bobbletwot, Wunderschlumpf –MzBill– the winner over Trump with odds of 98-to-2 (!): “We’d love to know your opinion.” Bend over, grab your ankles, so’s we can whisper it directly in your ear.
As one puissant observer put it, collectivist Statism’s cyclic run of 72 years from 1946 has finally met its end. (In both New World and Old, this 36-year generational pattern dates from time immemorial.) However scuttering Rats may fuss and grunt, their “fleeting hour of brutish triumph” nears its end.
