FiveThirtyEight has some advice about predicting the winner of the presidential election: Flip a coin. In four of the swing states, the margin is less than 1 point; in the other three it is less than 2 points. The margin of errors on these things is typically 4 points or so, not counting methodological errors. With numbers like that, all seven could go one way or the other way and it could end up being a landslide in the Electoral College in either direction.
There are protests, and there are protests. Reader M.G. in Boulder, CO brings to our attention a particularly ... interesting protest that appears to be the work of artist Julia Jimenez-Pyzik. Having received a permit to install an artwork on the National Mall (the permit expires October 30), Jimenez-Pyzik installed this.
By "Asians" we mean people who live in Asia, especially leaders of Asian countries. We don't mean Asian-American voters. They tend to be Democrats because Republicans, especially Donald Trump, often use minorities as whipping boys (and girls). Americans are worried silly about the election, but Asian government and business leaders in India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and other Asian countries (except China) don't think there is much difference between the candidates. For them, the biggest issue is dealing with China. Both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have put reining in China high on their to-do lists. They have different plans but neither one is China-friendly and that's what counts for the leaders of the various Asian nations.
The first congressional election was in 1788.
If you're the type of person who is willing to help Donald Trump try to cheat in order to win an election, yesterday was a disheartening day for you, as three different folks of that description got smacked upside the head by the courts. read more

Who cares?
Why, you do.
Otherwise, why'd you respond?
If you didn't care, that is?

Are you, or are you not, the Drudge Retort poster known as JeffJ, who was thrown off of the Retort and had to come crawling back as "Bellringer"?Are you brave enough to respond.
Or, are you just a typical MAGA coward?
