I understand that NY State killing Peanut the squirrel involves the death of a rodent, and to some people that seems unimportant, but when you bond with an animal as a pet, there’s a sentimental and emotional connection that should be respected. That New York state would allow some bureaucrats under the umbrella of a “conservation” agency to take someone’s pet and kill it, just displays the vindictive sociopathy that is a defining feature of so many (democrat-controlled) govt agencies today. None of this is an accident. The mentality of the Democrat-bureaucrat is much more similar to the statist-sadists described in Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago” than we want to believe. But just like then, they demand you submit to the whim of the machine, even when vicious, random, and unfair. Thats because the underlying premise of the machine is that it cannot be wrong, by definition, and your “rights” are just in the way. Solzhenitsyn described the frustration that Soviet officials would feel with the outrage of those innocents arrested- it didnt matter that the victim of the state had done nothing wrong, the machine was a system and anything slowing it down was friction, to be treated as waste. So it is with many of the statist-bureaucrats today. They have low-show jobs, often of little or no productive value, so they wield whatever authority they have in a vindictive, mechanistic way. Now an employee of the state of New York pretending that a beloved pet, one that raised money for animal rescue, is a “rabies risk” is the worst kind of petty tyranny. Everyone knew it was bullshit, but the state goons went along with it anyway. The govt, and public at large, had no real interest or benefit from the machine’s actions in this case, but its assembly line of pointless cruelty continued. Yes, Peanut was just a squirrel, but a state agency that would confiscate *and kill* your harmless pet for no reason is also one that would lock you up for refusing to take an experimental vaccine-

and in the name of “the system,” under certain circumstances, do things far more monstrous and cruel under the guise of necessary and right.

What happens if you give people free money?

One experiment gave 1,000 people $1,000 a month for 3 years.

By the end of the study, UBI recipients ended up a little deeper in debt and had a LOWER net worth!

Minnesota’s only women’s prison was forced to admit trans-identifying men following a radical policy approved by Gov. Tim Walz. Soon after, a longtime teacher there resigned in protest because the men made her female students fear for their safety and she had no other recourse🧵

Understand the difference in "internal polling" and media polls. About the only thing they have in common is the label.

The campaigns have hundreds of millions of dollars. A sizable chunk is spent on polling that, for a few weeks now, takes place every night.

And it is not just several hundred people like the media polls -- which do not spend millions of dollars getting their data -- internal polling involves hundreds of workers doing thousands of interviews every night so that the campaign can adjust its messaging in real time.

When you see sudden changes in campaign tactics that signals that the polling is showing a problem that needs to be addressed. When polling shows no significant problems, and the candidate is gaining ground, that is a signal to do more of the same -- if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.

The Harris campaign has made three abrupt shifts in the past 10-15 days.

1. The media blitz starting with 60 Minutes 12 days ago. She has been infamous for almost completely avoiding one-on-one media interviews for the first 60 days after Biden was pushed overboard. Her very first sit down for any interview of any time was with Dana Bash on Aug. 30 -- with Walz next to her. There was some commentary at the time that she had "checked that box" and she might not do any others -- just show up at campaign rallies and use the same vacuous canned empty comments and go on biography and "joy."

Knowing that was a possibility, the 60 Minutes appearance was backed up by 4 straight friendly non-news venues -- The View, Howard Stern, Stephen Colbert, and the "Call Her Daddy" podcast which is huge with women under 40.

That started on Oct. 6.

If Harris' polling had her winning on Oct. 5, they wouldn't have scheduled a sudden blitz of media appearances, starting with a potential trouble spot -- based on her past -- with 60 Minutes. But 60 Minutes was an attempt to bait Trump into doing the same, thinking the result would be similar to 2020, and 60 Minutes would probably focus on Jan. 6. But Trump didn't take the bait.

The goal was to get Trump to hurt himself -- which is an acknowledgement that Trump's campaign was gaining ground while her's was going flat. Then needed self-inflicted wound by Trump. But they didn't get it.

They took a risk but hedged that risk with the 4 friendly appearances immediately following 60 Minutes.

But then the friendly appearances all went badly -- capped off by saying on The View she wouldn't have done anything differently over the past 4 years than Biden had done -- when the "wrong track" number is 70%.

2. Suddenly, the next weekend, they announce a Fox News interview with Bret Baier to happen 10/16. In the aftermath -- however you want to characterize what happened -- the campaign admits going on Fox was intended to reach independents and Nikki Haley voters. That is a concession that her polling shows she cannot close the deal with a ground game alone -- they are behind and they need more raw votes from undecideds or wavering Trump voters.

All of this is happening against the backdrop of media polls showing she is running behind where Biden ran in 2020 with independents, black men, and Hispanics. The internal polling reveals just how bad that situation is.

And the Trump campaign just keeps doing what its doing -- when it ain't broken don't fix it.

3. The Fox interview, the surrogates, and now Harris' post-Fox appearances show what is probably the last chance to turn this around -- Trump is dangerous. Joy is gone. Progressivism is gone. Generational change is gone. Now it is just fear-mongering, led by the "Republicans who served in his Administration are backing me." You saw it in the Fox news interview -- every question was turned into an attack on Trump in the answer.

What does this signify?

Trump is over the threshold and the Harris campaign knows it. His lead in Ariz., Georgia, and North Carolina have solidified, and he's in range of putting PA away -- which is strongly suggested by the Politico story yesterday about 20 PA Dem officials criticizing the PA campaign effort which is headed up by a labor organizer from Pittsburg who has never done anything like run a statewide campaign before.

A huge sign in this regard is that the Dem Senate candidates in PA, Michigan, and Wisconsin all avoid joint appearances when she is in the state.

This shift was first reflected in the public polling following her 60 Mins, The View, Stern, Colbert, and Call Her Daddy appearances -- and the internal polling shows just how badly that worked out.

Now they are desperate to find any approach that gets her back to "gaining" with only 18 days left.
Their best chance is to strip votes away that he now has.

Less than 1% of them are scratch or better.

People assume they must have magical powers on the golf course.

But here are some stats that should blow your mind and, more importantly, give you perspective:
