Today is election day and there’s a lot of nervousness about the outcome. Relax, there’s more room for optimism if you dispatch the negativity. The media is “all in” for Joe Biden, and this comes as a surprise to who? Tune them out. All the variables that are non MSM related point toward a historic win for Donald Trump over the next 18 hours.
Go Vote.
Help your family and friends to vote if needed. Lend car-pools or babysit; gently remind friends and family, or do what you can to turn your energy into positive action – it will help you ignore the chattering noise.
CTH is going to approach the 2020 election day the same way we have in each year of an election contest. Nothing fancy, just steady and simple.
We believe in the KISS principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid):
♦ We will post threads for ground reports in two to three hour increments beginning at 10:00am Eastern Time Zone. Share your experience within your own community. How is the turnout? Wait Times? Excitement or lack thereof at your polling station… etc.
It is critical that everyone vote. Remember, historically there are two metrics that drive media narratives in the post election discussion. Each of these metrices have a different impact on Washington DC:
-
-
- The first is the electoral college, the actual victory.
- The second is the scope of victory within the popular vote.
-
Inasmuch as you/we are driving the electoral victory, the size of the vote will ensure both a mandate and a scale of victory to overcome ballot fraud. Even if you are in a deep blue area/region you are part of the offense and defense. EVERY VOTE COUNTS.
With your voice amid the voices of millions of others we are sending a resounding message to the entire apparatus of the professional political class… even if they despise us in the hearing of it.
The scope of the collective vote is what will provide Donald Trump with the mandate to defeat ballot fraud and push YOUR common sense reforms in Washington DC. EVERY VOTE COUNTS.
♦ Do not be discouraged by media. Tune out the noise. Remember, they have corporate interests at stake in this election. The last four years of enlightenment provided by Trump should give us a frame of reference to dismiss their manipulative efforts. Nothing will ever be the same again. The fourth estate has fundamentally destroyed itself and will never recover. Stay away from their toxic lies as they thrash and drown in the sea of their own creation.
♦ Calm yourself and breathe. Before absorbing any information ask yourself if thinking about it provides nourishment or toxicity. If the latter, ignore it. Don’t spread negativity just because you are incapable of retaining your own sensibility or confidence.
♦ The media are notoriously predictable with exit polling, take all exit polling with a grain of salt. You will not see the CTH promote it. Just like “media polling” exit polling inherently carries the ideological bias of the outlet delivering the results. Exit polls are used by media to frame a narrative for their broadcasts; nothing more.
♦ Anticipate election day “gaslighting” from the same media. If a state result is close and Biden is leading, they will likely call it for him. Conversely if Trump is leading a close result they will delay any calls benefiting him. The MSM intended objectives for doing this are just as obvious as they were in 2016, and then again with the 2020 democrat primary contest. The media attempt to influence turnout in time zones by their method of calling races with earlier polling closes. When you know their techniques, you inoculate yourself from their manipulation.
♦ At approximately 5:00pm CTH will open “Election Results Discussion Threads” with links to some of the more user-friendly polling aggregates so you can check on status updates and discuss election results as they come in. There will be multiple Election night threads sequentially numbered.
President Trump left everything on the campaign battlefield. Now it is our turn to take over…
…Let’s Roll !
I wonder if PT has heard or is aware of SCORECARD?
I’m not a tweeter but might be worth trying to tweet Don Jr or Meadows or Ratcliffe and ask they are they aware of SCORECARD which is supposed to be a software add on to the Hammer program that somehow can change up to 3% of votes according to Gen. McInerney.
I’m sure they’re aware.
Yes they are aware and Sidney Powell along with others are all over it.
“They” were aware in 2012: preventative actions in 2016 taken (plenty of indirect/circumstantial evidence).
The best “news” I can share is all evidence points to Trump-team working to penetrate, degrade, then arrest these unlawful operators and treasonous operations under “SCORECARD” — not take it over like hillbag and biteme biden intended.
Trump left markers so that “when” history is told and evidence goes to court = open and shut case.
John 12:19
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
Interesting — and importantly here (in this verse) is the question mark…
They were asking each other THE question — do you PERCEIVE… !!?
Very appropriate for these days of max disinformation. Thanks.
John 10:1-4
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
My bet is PA is where the most calls come in from.
Yep, PA , NY and Florida are my guesses
I just heard Kayleigh on FOX talking about the week long vote from PA. She said if the win isn’t clear election night they are going to court to enforce the PA legislature’s decision on voting being submitted by election day. The Constitution says the State Legislature decides, not the courts and team Trump is on it.
GOP poll watchers are being given the runaround by election officials in Philadelphia. What a shock!
Bring binoculars!
Election Integrity California has been fighting this. We have persisted and won. Observers have to have courage. Demand to be allowed to enter. Call the authorities. Call the lawyers. Call the hotlines but do not give up
Voted! Took about an hour, fellow voters were seemingly in good moods… had a guy behind me play a patriotic play list off his phone- sounded like a radio, it was good.. no one in line complained about his loudish, USA themed tunes. Great voting experience!
Ah… masks.. didn’t see too many in line outdoors, but I was the only one INdoors without. No bad looks, no comments, no questions, no offers of mask though- it was strange but empowering.
First in line here in pittsburgh, pa! Lotsa good people, and happy people at my poll. Just had to be teump,supporters. Two glum little guys waiting. Gave em a big cheery hello, and they scoffed and walked away. Poor kids. Have no idea we are saving their future! But thats okay, i am staying happy! Thanks to all you treepers!

Antifa gearing up for false flag violence disguised as Trump supporters
November 3, 2020
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/11/antifa_gearing_up_for_false_flag_violence_disguised_as_trump_supporters.html
Antifa degenerates wiggle when they walk, an easy tell.
Actually, a quick look to gauge the thickness of arms and legs will determine whether or not they are Antifa. If they are skinny and basement dweller pasty-faced, they are Antifa.
Is this a head fake to get Anti-Antifa people targeted? We know the Antifia are the ones inciting violence, so they should be easy to pick out.
OMG !!
About 66 voters OUTSIDE the polling place.
For 52 years, less than a dozen in line.
I don’t believe there were 90 million early voters.
Time to stomp out the gaudy fraud.
Someone is getting a ton of votes today.
?
8:45am
That’s the enthusiasm for Biden/Harris ticket. HUGE/MSM Liars
Southern Wisconsin farming community near Beloit.
I have never seen so many people at the polls. Usually I am in and out in 10 minutes or less. Today I stood outside in a line 50 people deep.
I was voter 321 out of a population of roughly 2500. Approximately 600 absentee ballots were received.
In 2016 I was able to get in and out fast but there was a long line of new people registering for the first time.
Were they young? People you recognized? Looked like they were “from around here“? I’m so worried that Biden’s team put all their time and money into the steal. They sure as heck did not put it into campaigning.
May this day be over soon!!!
I wonder if the R’s thought about putting up hidden video cameras away from the ballot drop off boxes to capture any funny business or for example a truck pulling up and they dump thousands of ballots into the drop off box.
IMO the DS has shown us NOTHING is out of bounds with them.

They DOJ has sent a representative to the Philadelphia County.
Not sure who but they do list a number to call.
https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-again-monitor-compliance-federal-voting-rights-laws-election-day
The Trump campaign website is also supposed to have a place where you can report these things on their website. I’m sure that their attorneys are waiting and ready to pounce at any problems.
True the Vote might have something, too.
This has a list from team Trump of 14 numbers to call – I think they are the battleground states. PA is one that is listed…

This is precisely why we have the Constitutional militia: enforce the law on “law enforcement rogue executives, judges, and government more generally” when they are the unlawful actors.
Art 1 section 8 clause 15 and 16 “PROVIDE FOR the calling forth of the militia to execute the laws of the union”
PROVIDE FOR — meaning set forth conditions and funding and standards but not actually CALL OUT, or DIRECT…
WHO then shall do “this”??
Its in the 2A: individual right to bear arms to be capable of forming the “militia necessary for the security of a free state…
— elections free from corruption
— right to pursue happiness/property (governor whitmere, newsome, cuomo pay attention)
Militia — this isn’t your “dad’s” America anymore, its yours.
***It will likely take rifles (used or only shouldered) to recapture freedom from those who 1. partially enslaved us and intended to totally abuse and enslave us (barry soetoro aka barack, hilduhbeast aka hillary, creepy joe aka biden, heels up aka camela harris, and other dems and rino’s more generally TAKE NOTE) and 2. those who enabled it Bush and bush soldiers, McStain aka johnny “songbird” McCain, Billy the rapist aka Bill Clinton

We voted just now. In all the years we’ve been voting, we’ve never had to wait in line before, but we did this morning.
Come on Virginia!!
This clearly a potential early state to watch results come in for as a possible barometer of red turnout.
One would think if PT flips VA the odds of victory go way up.
Definitely could be an early signal to watch since they are east coast.
If VA flips, it’s all over. It would so poetic to get rid of Warner.
Maybe tearing down Robert E. Lee and George Washington is not a good idea in their home state.
Everybody has been saying, “Oh, but the demographics have changed . . . .” I’ve been telling people ever since Republicans outvoted Democrats in the state elections in 2019 but lost due to gerrymandering, Northam’s antics would flip the state red. Every hunter in the mountains of Southern and Western Virginia will vote against the gun grabbers. Why do you think they put in the same rule on post marks as Pennsylvania a week ago? They know they’re in trouble.
Glorious morning Treepers. Northwest Oakland County, Michigan here. Leaving to vote now. I have voted every election here for 25 years. Line is never more than 10 or 15 deep. I will post observations when I have completed my straight ticket republican (as always)vote.
Yours in Trump,
Daniel Holmes
Wife and I voted here in Iredell County, NC at 8:00AM at a community church. Polls opened at 6:30AM. 43 degrees outside with no waiting lines. Went right in and right back out in about 10 minutes (it was like that in 2016 as well). I was the 75th voter.
NYS election update: We arrived at our polling place at 5:55 a.m. anticipating 6 a.m. opening. Our polling location is adjacent to another polling location and both locations had long lines around each building and extending into the parking lot before either location opened.
We stood in line for 70 minutes in 42 degree weather. When we left, the line was equally long and suggests a record-breaking turnout for this election.
Sorry for my stupidity, but where is NYS?
I’m assuming New York State.
New York State…Dutchess County to be precise. (about 2 hours north of NYC)
New York State?
Dateline; Toledo Ohio
I arrived at the polling station around 7 am and completed my mission of voting for incumbent President Donald J Trump by 8:15 am. It was a long line, but it was about half as long when I left at 8:15.
Chatted with lady in line next to me – we agreed on what it would take to MAGA lol, without saying it out loud.
Guy three people away said “I’m 67 and this will be the FIRST time I have voted…”
One lady (black lady) was without mask but no one said or did anything and she voted no problem – good for her.
Guy three people away said “I’m 67 and this will be the FIRST time I have voted…”
So hard to fathom!!
@Elle – Yeah I thought the same lol! Wish I knew who he was voting for.
Lord I am praying today for all the folks down south, for their great President and his family, and for an unquestionable result that returns him to the white house. I also pray for peace throughout the land. God Bless America and God Bless President Trump.
Amen!
Thank you for remembering us in your prayers. Nothing is more powerful.
Will be following results all day!
On my way to the airport to fly to Cali to vote, I was driving through the small unincorporated town of Ladonia Alabama. It was seven, polls don’t open till eight and people were already in line with lawn chairs! Go vote! The Red Wave is here!

Lol some levity!!!

Hubby just voted on Long Island. No line which doesn’t surprise me bc we have a lot of polling locations. Polling person told him that early voting was off the charts. I live in a very conservative area, but who knows…..could have all been the Karen’s.
I’ll be voting after work.
Just returned from voting in my very conservative little enclave in Lafayette, LA. Longest lines I’ve ever seen for any election to date. There were 2 lines (divided into districts – 2 for each line) where there is usually only a single line, Both lines were equally long and it took about an hour to get inside to vote.
Trump support is alive and evident everywhere! Now the waiting begins…going to be a LONG day. God Bless us everyone – Donald Trump 2020, USA and MAGA!!!!!!
I voted in CT today. The line was huge and it took an hour to get through it. My town is conservative so I think that is good news. I woke early and prayed with my 8 year old son, took him to the polls and we both wore USA hats. I texted my family here in the US, we are originally from Portugal, and encouraged everyone to vote all republican down ballot. Everyone is on board, except a few younger ones who have been brainwashed by the media. I thank Sundance for everything he has done in these last 4 years. I love this site and ALL my fellow friends here. Stay positive, we got this!
Thank you for encouraging all of your family in the U.S. to vote for PDJT and the Republican ballot! You and your family, immigrating to the U.S. legally, praying with and taking your eight year old son to the polls on election day . . . is an example of what still makes America great. Every vote counts, including in beautiful – but politically challenging – CT.
I am optimistic, but nervous about today’s outcome.
Tweets by PhillyGOP
nothing to see here.
Wonder how many more this will happen to?
Here is the number to call the DOJ and what they said in their press release about voter issues.
On Election Day, Civil Rights Division personnel will be available all day to receive complaints from the public related to possible violations of the federal voting rights laws by a complaint form on the department’s website https://civilrights.justice.gov/ or by telephone toll-free at 800-253-3931.
IMO Philly could be an issue so if you truly see voter issues, report them ASAP.
Useless questions on their forms.
Submitted FWIW
Thanks for the link~
The Democrats aren’t even trying to hide their cheating in PA anymore. Sure sign to me they’re in trouble there and will win at any cost, and no need for them to worry because the media will cover up their efforts.
Let’s take back VA plus a few more light Blue states and we can let PA wallow in their ineptitude.
Voted this a.m. in Louisville, KY. Breezed in and out but they had a great system this year. Smiled as I pulled in because lone guy standing in his pick up truck bed holding up a TRUMP sign a la John Cusack in “Say Anything”. Afterwards got in my car and prayed for President Trump, our country, and safety today.
Me, my wife and kids voted in the Lehigh Valley PA…. looooong line… over 1.5 hr wait…. very cold and windy…. no one was complaining…..but lots of MAGA people!
Outlier here in blue Macon-Bibb Co. Voted at 8:15 AM (polls opened at 7 AM), a few cars coming and going. I was processed as fast as I could follow the blue arrows with zero waiting. I spent more time recording my votes (and I had pre-reviewed all state/local measures) than the check-in and paper ballot casting. Poll workers were super friendly and well organized, if it were a business I’d return for more.
Oooops, forgot to add:
Macon-Bibb Co in GA
I know it’s not perfect, but I really like what the Secretary of State did in Georgia regarding giving you a printed copy of your choices to put in the tabulator yourself. This way helps you visually ensure your vote hasn’t been magically flipped by a ‘glitch’ in the voting machines before it is officially cast by you.
And there is a actual piece of paper that can be used to verify voter intent if there are any irregularities.
Yes! Brand new voting machines and a printed copy of your votes. It was just wonderful. You even know your ballot was accepted and what number you were.
All new, I didn’t even think to look what number I was 🙁
Voted in very blue Tucson at 6:15am. Was about 20 people in line. Was about the same in 2016.
All the poll workers and voters had masks and gloves. I went in without a mask and was asked twice if I wanted one. Replied firmly with “you can’t deny me my right to vote for not wearing a mask”. That ended it. Voted and left.
Aside from the mask bologna the intake for voting was very good. Took your ID and then asked you to state your address and needed 2nd form of ID if things on their roster didn’t match your ID. A few people got stuck going to a secondary “special” line. So in this regard it seemed they were doing a good job.
I went to vote last Monday in Manhattan where early voting consolidated several polling places into one. It was a chilly, windy and rainy day. The line was more than 2 city blocks long and the wait around 1 1/2 hours as two voting machines were down.
The nearest avenue was blocked off from most traffic by roadblocks painted with “BLM” and hearts in lavenders, yellows, blues and pinks. It’s the East Village – one of the strongholds of our not-so-loyal opposition.
This polling station encompassed the northern end of the Avenue D/East River Projects and the East Village. There is a great divide between the two populations. The projects are primarily Latino and the East Village is mostly young and uber progressive.
In line were Latinos from the projects, heavily tilted towards the male. The East Villagers in line were mainly female. The difference was very stark visually. And yes, everybody was wearing masks in line. Everybody. Maybe it was the rain and the grey skies, but this was one of the most depressing voting lines I’ve ever seen.
Inside, it was controlled pandemonium. Too many workers in certain areas, too few booths to write your vote. I had just come from the medical enter where my eyes had been dilated and had difficulty comprehending the instructions on the outer folder given to me with my ballot. At first, I thought it was my eyes so I kept reading and rereading the instructions, holding up the ballot to compare it to what the folder stated. After the third attempt to reconcile the two, I realized that the instruction folder was written for a ballot with a totally different design. When I to scan my ballot, I went over to the poll workers and pointed out the discrepancy. They grabbed my folder, glanced at my ballot (so much for privacy!), read the instructions and shook their heads saying, “Yeah, you’re right.”
In short, the instructions told you to fill out the bubble to the left of your candidate’s name. The ballot had bubbles on top of the name. Of course, the bubble “to the left” of Trump’s name, was the column to vote for Biden. Maybe some people will think that it was obvious how to fill out the ballot, but I still think it was needlessly confusing – and probably deliberately so.
Thank you for voting and thank you for the detail. I’m not surprised by your experience given the location.
Early voted here in TN couple weeks ago. Just heard from 1 nephew he stood in line about an hour in a St Louis suburb to vote Trump. Another nephew voted a week ago in IL Trump. His live in girlfriend is resident of AZ and he helped her vote absentee for Trump 3 weeks ago. AZ is going to be one of the keys to both the White House and Senate.
I know this thread has a lot of anecdotal evidence but damn I’m fired up and feeling good. I think Trump will indeed flip Virginia tonight.
Don’t forget Minnesota, too!
Let’s hope and pray Aremore95. I’m not entirely sure why, but I have developed a bit of an infatuation with flipping MN. I think it is primarily because of Ilhan Omar’s anti-American existence and my desire to see it rebuked.
Flipping Virginia back to red would be such a coup, and we deserve a good coup!
My husband and I left the house at 5:50 to cast our votes for President Trump, Senator Gade, and Rep Good. It was dark, windy and cold, 35°. We stood in line outside for about 6 minutes waiting for the doors to open, then another 5 or so minutes to reach the door. The line in front of us was 35 people or so, and continued to form behind us. Not an overwhelming crowd for a presidential election year, but it was early and this is Charlottesville, after all!
God has shown Himself to be one of goodness and mercy His mercy is everlasting.
He is looking to bless men, His eyes run to and fro upon the face of the earth looking for those who have heart towards Him.
God has been known to bless a whole nation because of just one man. Actually the truth is God has raised up men, who had a heart for Him in order that He might bless many men through them. God has done this many times in the past.
God categorically stated that in Abraham He would bless nations of men.
God’s strong right arm brought salvation to Himself by raising up one man to bless the entire world, in the man Christ Jesus.
My prayer is God will bless this nation and the entire world for the efforts of one man and do so quickly and without delay.
I agree with the other posters that I wish that Sundance would create a voter fraud thread just for those posts.
1) Would be more useful for people who want to argue about this with their friends/colleagues; and
2) Would keep this thread more focused on actual voting and not just have a bunch of negativity mixed in from a few posters who just always re-post negative tweets on this site. If those were posted in a different thread with the real fraud alerts/concerns, then they could be kept in context for those posters who are interested.
I personally believe that PDJT wins with over 300 EV and the election will be called tonight, no matter how extensive the fraud may be.
Ready to leave to go vote and my driveway is blocked! F… it! I will walk! Nothing will stop me this morning as I have waited 4 years to vote again for VSPGPDJT!
Really? Blocked how?
Did a tree fall down or is it voter “suppression”?
That distinction could help keep some of the conspiracy-theorists off their roofs this am.
It’s the county working on the water meters. As I started to leave for my short but cold walk they said they’d be done in a minute so I waited. Just got back. Was voter #95. Super pleasant and easy with the new machines. No line. No one in the waiting area. No one at the machines. Does not bode too well for the dims in this dark blue area.
Trafalgar has Trump up by less than one point in NEVADA. Union casino employees gotta be bucking Biden.
Voting for Biden is like old people playing the nickle slots.
Because they like being out of work?
Many thanks to Team Sundance, and to all my fellow Treepers !
The wife and I voted early in Harris County, Texas (Houston) on the second day of early voting, that had steady stream of about 20 voters distanced. Polling place was an Evangelical Church’s big multi-purpose room.
Today in Houston TX is a cool, clear perfect weather. So that may enhance turnout. Beware the democrats that control county-level offices in the big counties.
I’m reporting in from the Republican stronghold of Delaware County, OH (Village of Powell): I got my vote in for VSGPDJT and a straight Republican ticket at 8:45 this morning; I was in and out in about 10 minutes thanks to some very nice and competent poll workers. The nice lady who gave me my I VOTED sticker told me that folks were in the parking lot at 5:15 this morning ready to vote (polls didn’t open until 6:30). She also said that the volume was crazy for the first hour and a half but has remained steady since.
With Florida Iowa and Ohio, 45 starts the day PRIMED FOR VICTORY BY 9pm!
LET’S GO PATRIOTS! We’re keeping our constitutional republic and REELECTING 45!!
ain’t no place for more corn pop or stiff old hairs…go back to the swimming pool joe…
Anybody getting an “I Voted” sticker today? They weren’t handing them out when I voted, due to Covid. How does that even make sense? It’s not like they have to lick them and stick them on you!
I voted in Minnesota, and I got one
When we early voted in NC, we got “I voted” pens!
They gave us ink-pens here. Meh….
They were left on the table and we could pick them up ourselves, Got mine to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment giving us ladies the right to vote.And there were plenty of us doing so..
We are giving everyone a “I voted” sticker down here in southern Illinois.
We have every supply for the China virus, including goggles & face shields. I’m the only election judge NOT wearing a mask.
We are wiping down all the pens after every use.
Been busy in this little precinct. 55 voters so far. Don’t usually get to that number until around 11am or 12p. We had 10 people as soon as poll opened.
Another judge in the precinct opposite of ours, made a pan of brownies….yummy!
Hmmm, thought it must’ve been a statewide thing. I guess not. Ridiculous! This BS needs to end fast!
Georgia. I got one.
Voted this Morning on Skidaway Island, Savannah, GA
I went in a little after 7 AM, was out by 7:30 AM.
I am handicapped and went to front of line. They had a special table set up for Handicapped and/or people over 75.
I had to have my Absentee Ballot cancelled out by County Registrar (Polling Supervisor had to call them to get a code) because I never received it or I would have been out in 15 minutes or less.
I would estimate at least 100 people in line when I came in was and growing steadily as I was processed.
After this is all over, a top national priority must be to bring fairness, accuracy and integrity to our election process before 2024. If we fail to do that, then little else will matter.
I thought this would be appropriate (and eerily accurate) to post here given the circumstances, enjoy:
My Fellow Americans:
Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our Allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far.
And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer:
Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.
Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith.
They will need Thy blessings. Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph.
They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest — until the victory is won. The darkness will be rent by noise and flame. Men’s souls will be shaken with the violences of war.
For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and goodwill among all Thy people. They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home.
Some will never return. Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom.
And for us at home — fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters, and brothers of brave men overseas, whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them — help us, Almighty God, to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in this hour of great sacrifice.
Many people have urged that I call the nation into a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer. As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts.
Give us strength, too — strength in our daily tasks, to redouble the contributions we make in the physical and the material support of our armed forces.
And let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be.
And, O Lord, give us faith. Give us faith in Thee; faith in our sons; faith in each other; faith in our united crusade. Let not the keeness of our spirit ever be dulled. Let not the impacts of temporary events, of temporal matters of but fleeting moment — let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose.
With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogances. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace — a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all of men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil.
Thy will be done, Almighty God.
Amen.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt – June 6, 1944
FDR was a very duplicitous and misguided man. He has much to be criticized for. Still, he led the country successfully, poor methods or not, through the two toughest crises of the 20th Century. He may also have saved us from a revolution. The missive printed above shows the side of him that allowed him to lead in such a way that the people would follow him. He was a very flawed man in many ways, but he was capable of brilliance and I think he did love the United States. May God grant that our future leaders love our country just as much as he did, but avoid his costly mistakes.
Whatever issues you may have with him, it’s shouldn’t take away how great this speech was
According to this tweeter feed, they are already getting bricks ready.

It’s evil of me but there are times I wish we could booby trap stuff like that. There need to be repercussions for bad behavior.
Someone pull your truck up and take the bricks. Who’s gonna claim ownership,
Or dust them with itching powder? Someone do something! If it was near me I would go get them and build a fire pit in my backyard.
A few MAGA trucks should swoop in there and remove it.
Biden knows he is in deep doo doo. He’s out campaigning in Pennsylvania today.
Biden’s handlers know “he is in deep doo doo.” Biden, sadley, doesn’t know anything!
Already voted early, in person, in Texas. Arrived at work this morning to find there is a polling place across the road from my job.
I voted for Trump (of course), Gohmert, and I held my nose to vote for Cornyn. Cornyn is a phone swamp monster, but still, slightly, better than a democrat.
Phoney. lol
“Even if you are in a deep blue area/region you are part of the offense and defense. EVERY VOTE COUNTS.”
Such true words from Sundance. I voted last night here where I live in heavily blue SE Los Angeles County. I was one of the last voters in line and it was a pretty good turnout at my precinct. Every voter here in the state was given a mail in ballot, but even in a state like California where the president realistically has little chance of winning, I want my vote to count so I voted in person! The president will pick up a few more percentage points this year and hopefully that will help in the popular vote total. More than a few Democrats and independents will cast a vote for the president as a protest against Emperor Newsom and his dictatorial control over this state especially with COVID. So many Californians of all political stripes are growing sick of that buffoon. I’m confident the president will win, but I won’t be totally comfortable until he is officially re-elected!
Called my employees this morning to let them all know they can take as much time in line as they want, but VOTE. No need. They all have voted early already (good news as they’re all Trump supporters). This is in North Georgia where yesterday Richard Baris said on his podcast that the rural counties in this area of our state have already had high turnout. Democrat fantasies of turning Georgia blue this time are just that. Fantasies.
My youngest and his family did early voting last week. That’s 4 votes (Dawson County) not helping to turn Georgia blue.
Let see if this post works – previous one did not – looks like twitter poster is reporting that bricks are already in position.

Sorry, looks like previous post took so I have a double post. Thought Google might be messing with me. Stay safe folks. On pins and needles.
Just received a couple of reports from the voting lines in Hamilton and Punxsutawney areas of Jefferson County PA, and the lines are longer than my contact can remember. Record #’s.
I’m heading to the polls in a minute to vote here in Upstate, SC.
!00 years ago got the right to vote. I did today, in person in small town CT.
There was a line at the polling place , spoke to lady in front of me who has
lived there long time said there was never a line before, poll worker said this
morning there was a line around the building at 5:30 poll didn;t open till 6:00.
Very organized, line moved fast. no issues.
Three more votes for POTUS this morning from my family in deep blue broward county. Wife and I arrived around 8:30am and there was another husband and wife team in front of us with a MAGA mask on, so that would be 2 additional votes for POTUS on top of our 3 votes in my family, line was normal for this small polling station, nothing crazy as far as lines are concerned.
Long time reader, first time poster here in Tampa. Wife and I voted IPEV last Friday. Now I am just watching the Florida votes roll in for PDJT. Ds started the day with a 112,000 ballot lead. That has almost been erased in the first two hours of voting. We don’t like red tides in Florida but we will take the Red Wave that is coming!
De Santis has estimated Trump will get a 500k ED win, ending up with about a 300k or so Fla win. Similar numbers in OH NC MI AZ and PA. Michigan is about up 350k D in early voting, but they were up more in 16 and still lost.
Palm Beach County has a new Supervisor of Elections, Wendy Sartory Link, who was appointed by Gov. DeSantis. She spent more than a million upgrading machines. We voted early.. It was a bit slow because of COVID protocols but it went smoothly. Everyone seemed well-trained. Early votes have been counted, I have read, but results are stored in secure computer until tonight. If Palm Beach County gets more than 40% Republican, it will be a big win in Florida. I am optimistic.
Someone needs to slap all NYers coming down there and voting blue.
