The off-year elections take place in various states and municipalities today.  The Virginia and New Jersey governors races will be decided along with the New York City mayoral race and numerous other regional elections in FL, OH, MN, PA and MI.

Virginia will be the most watched race as polls close at 7:00pm ET.  Virginia passed a new law last year requiring counties to pre-process absentee ballots before the election, which should allow officials to report the result of the advance vote soon after the polls close.  However, if you see those previously processed absentee ballots ‘NOT REPORTED’ early that would indicate the vote counters holding back ballot harvest results until they figure out how many they need.

The media will use these early results, likely favorable to Terry McAuliffe, in order to set the tone according to party position and direction from the executive media suites.

West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin held a press conference moments ago to say he’s done with the insufferable chicanery within the legislative social spending bill, also called the “human infrastructure bill” or Biden’s “build back better” bill, or the “reconciliation bill”.

Nancy Pelosi has been sitting on the previously passed $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill that was passed by the House and Senate {Go Deep} but has refused to allow a vote until a bigger social spending bill -constructed using the reconciliation process to radically change the U.S. by the AOC radical communists in congress- can be attached.  For months the debate over how far the communists can push the social spending package has been argued and debated, today Joe Manchin tapped out.

Manchin has done today what he was always likely to do, and two issues triggered today as his moment.  The cherry in his construct is Biden’s current location. WATCH:

Now, let’s get to the politics of why Manchin is making his move….

It is not coincidental that Manchin makes this statement today, as the NBC poll showing massive drops in support for Joe Biden is being discussed widely.  Manchin knows he is sitting in a spotlight of an inflection point; Manchin is politically astute and cunning to the ways of politics.  Manchin comes across as meek and mild-tempered, a man of reasonable disposition… but that doesn’t accurately portray his cunning.  This is his chance to make a big move.

Senator Joe Manchin also knows that Democrats are going to implode as the Obama allied communist puppet masters behind Biden have a one term agenda to exploit their control over the dementia patient currently occupying the White House.  Manchin knows the collapse of the Democrat Party is his opportunity; he also knows THE REALITY behind the released Marist Poll [data here] showing a majority of non-communist Democrats want nothing to do with the senile occupant of the White House.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg appeared on the DC narrative shaping program hosted by swamp gatekeeper Chris Wallace.  Within the interview Buttigieg was questioned about why West Coast port backups are worse now than before the White House announced their solution to operate ports 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Buttigieg proclaimed the ports are being impacted by the pandemic, and ships stuck in China are the reason why ships are sitting off the coast of California.   Yeah, try to square that circular logic.  LOL.  The scale of incompetence, even in common sense politispeak, is off the charts.  The illogical statements by this guy are legendary; however, he outdid himself today.

Eventually Pete weaves his way through fourteen nonsensical catch phrases to get to a point where he proclaims nothing in the supply chain will start being more efficient until everyone is vaccinated.  And yes, it appears that he is so stuck in pretzel-speak, Buttigieg actually believes that.

All of that said, I wouldn’t post this for review if it wasn’t for the ‘hard-hitting‘ segment from Wallace that comes right after.  You just gotta watch (prompted):

.

The southern border is in crisis, food inflation is skyrocketing, transportation and logistical supply chains are a mess because of emissions and regulation, store shelves are empty, gasoline is ridiculously expensive, the blue-collar working class is getting crushed, the vaccination mandate is wreaking havoc on jobs, airlines and employment for first responders, overall national anxiety is at a high point, the economy is in a free-fall and two-thirds of all Americans now say the administration is incompetent.  Along comes Chris Wallace with the hard-hitting question about what Pete and his husband are doing with their twins for Halloween.

Lets Go Brandon !

Perhaps it’s only a lie if he believes it.  However, what Joe Biden said in front of an assembled group of G20 leaders was not only a lie, it was so transparently false that world leaders knew Biden was just making stuff up.  Truly this is such a false statement you have to wonder if the script writer was intentionally setting up Joe Biden for ridicule.

Unfortunately, none of the media fact-checkers are likely to call him out for this; but, believe me, those world leaders sitting around the table know this level of propaganda is beyond anything even Baghdad Bob would attempt.  And yes, it’s also in the transcript.

Given all of the economic impacts crushing the United States working class, Joe Biden’s team thought it would be a good idea politically for his administration to select “Supply Chain Resilience” as the U.S. selected discussion topic for the G20 group.  During his introductory propaganda remarks (obviously he did not write), Joe Biden said the following [video at 02:34]:

TRANSCRIPT – […] “Just a few weeks ago, we were able to facilitate an agreement with key unions, retailers, and freight movers to begin operating two of the largest ports in the United States that account for 40 percent of the imports on the West Coast: the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, California. So, we got them to move from 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, to 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.” (read more)

The Port of Los Angeles (POLA) and Port of Long Beach (POLB) have never worked 8hr/days Monday through Friday.  That is complete, abject and utter nonsense.  That statement is so far away from the truth, the light from where truth begins could not catch that statement in a year.  Even the ASL interpreter seemed to notice (see below).

Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe appeared on Meet the Press with Chuck Todd {full video here} to express his frustration that “everything was fine” in Virginia until parents started snooping around, looking into what goes on in public schools.

Despite Chuck Todd trying to support McAuliffe’s collapsing campaign and overall favorability, the Democrat candidate just can’t stop showcasing his totalitarian viewpoint.  As noted in the interview, McAuliffe blames the parents for finding out what was happening inside the education system and then complaining about it.  It was only after parents started doing research when things started falling apart for the teacher’s unions, school boards and the candidacy of McAuliffe himself.

.

The full video is also below.

Beyond the horrible policies he supports, as a general disposition candidate Terry McAuliffe is not a likeable person.  He’s a male version of Hillary Clinton with about the same level of blame-casting and desperation.  You can tell in the interview that Chuck Todd knows the persona of McAuliffe is part of his problem.

Watch the very beginning as Chuck Todd introduces McAuliffe and notes that an upside down favorability for Joe Biden is likely hurting other Democrats. As a result, the race in Virginia has gone from an easy win to a toss up.

Specifically, look at the face of McAuliffe (00:16 seconds), as the introduction was not what he expected from his friend, his ally and fellow traveler.  The flex and squint in the eyes of McAuliffe tells you he was taken aback by the intro.  He was personally hurt, stunned and then worried by the introduction.  It took McAuliffe almost a full 2 seconds to recompose his brain.  It’s interesting….

The bad news is this is an NBC poll conducted by Mark Murray and Hart Research and Associates.  They are notorious for manipulative media polling [Use Site Search Function for More].  The good news is this is an NBC/Mark Murray poll, meaning if this is the best Murray and Hart Research can come up with, the reality of the situation is exponentially worse.  [Polling pdf Here]

The data within the poll, which is skewed to try and assist the left, shows the nation overall has abandoned Joe Biden and the Democrat Party in a big way.

71 percent of Americans now say they believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, up 8 points since August. That includes 93 percent of Republicans, 70 of independents and even 48 percent of Democrats.  Beyond his catastrophic approval numbers, 50% of Americans polled say Joe Biden is incompetent / 37% view him as competent.

Chuck Todd sounds the alarm.  WATCH:

Additionally, not highlighted by any media review, the polling shows a collapse for the COVID fear and vaccination narrative.   The majority of the country now says they do not support mandatory vaccinations. [Page 17].   50% oppose mandates / 47% support mandates.

President Donald Trump sat down for an extensive interview with Judge Jeanine Pirro of Fox News.  The interview was broadcast Saturday night 10/30/21 and was recorded in Mar-a-Lago earlier in the day.

President Trump was asked about Biden foreign policy, how he would lower gas prices and his opinion on the Virginia gubernatorial race.

At 1:00am on August 25th, Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats came to an agreement on a massive spending proposal. The Senate previously passed a $1.5 trillion “infrastructure” bill, and a group of 9 House moderates -led by Josh Gottheimer- wanted to see it pass. However, the far-left progressive caucus wanted their $3.5 trillion social spending package which includes Green New Deal spending passed as part of the total budget agenda. {Go Deep}  For the past two months, the House Democrats have been working with Senate Democrats on the scale of the social spending package.

The ultra far-left communists and Democrat socialists have been negotiating on the social spending part.  They agreed to settle for 1.75 trillion in fundamental change and there’s approximately 10 House republicans that will also support it, but the AOC wing wants more.   The previously passed $1.5 trillion sits on Nancy Pelosi’s desk until it can be paired with the $1.75+ trillion social spending component.

The House Rules Committee is putting the legislative language together for the latest 1,600 page social spending part [you can see here], but the issue of constructing a bill that will pass the Senate is still problematic.  Pelosi was hoping for a vote today, and Joe Biden begged Democrats earlier to get it passed because his polling numbers continue to collapse.   The communists (AOC/Bernie Sanders caucus) and socialists (ordinary Democrats) are at loggerheads.

WASHINGTON – […] Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her leadership team were ultimately unable to win over dozens of dug-in liberals in time for a Thursday evening vote. House liberals said they want to review the legislative text of $1.75 trillion social spending legislation the White House outlined Thursday and get a commitment of support from centrist Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) — something the two have not outright given.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) has released the first estimate of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the third quarter (July, Aug, Sept). [DATA HERE]  The top line number of two percent GDP growth is significantly worse than most economists and financial pundits expected.

The second quarter GDP was 6.7%, so a slow down to 2% is very significant considering the economy should be rebounding and reopening after the COVID-19 impacts.  However, when we dig into the details [Table One] you will see how what is happening in your life is actually reflected in the data.   None of this should be a surprise, as the data is simply reflecting what is happening in your personal checkbook economics.

First, here’s the media jaw agape, with false explanations and justifications:

.

The drop has nothing to do with the ‘delta variant’, and everything -EVERYTHING- to do with inflation and impacts from Joe Biden’s economic policies.

Let’s take a look at the details, and you will see how the national GDP is simply a reflection on what we are doing to survive the Biden economy.

In his lengthy opening on Fox News Wednesday night, Tucker Carlson outlined the big picture in 19 minutes.  Carlson does a good job of weaving the disparate elements into a very visible picture.

This is a good encapsulation of how the Biden administration’s agenda creates a cause and effect cycle that’s completely disconnected from the priorities of the American middle class.  WATCH:
