[As Lenin, Stalin, and Saul Alinsky counseled, accuse your opponent of advocating and doing the same things that you do. Hence, now Kamala and gang promote the same longstanding Trump policies, and accuse Trump of being a Hitlerian “fascist” who will institute an autocratic government dedicated to centralized control, implement the socialist policies long-claimed and practiced by Kamala and the Democrats, and then use the military to imprison opponents. In the interval, their campaign will permit no questions about their plans and policies, only focusing on disparaging Trump, the destroyer of democracy, this as the Republicans continue to outline their policies and seek symmetry from the Left. The same response is seen in these pages from our TDS suffering leftwing readers; they will not touch policies but ape their dear leader in continuing to disparage Trump’s character. gjr]

All the hyenas lackeys and ass kissers cannot tell people what their reality is –
CNBC’s All America Economic Survey found that Trump leads Harris by a margin of 42 percent to 24 percent on the question of which candidate would make them better off financially. Trump has actually gained ground on this question since it was asked in the March survey, when 39 percent said they’d be better off if Trump won, and 23 percent said they’d be better off with Joe Biden.
The survey also asked who would be better as “strengthening the economy in your community.“
In the battleground states, Trump gets 49 percent of registered voters and Harris 41 percent. (Interestingly, eight percent of voters nationally say neither would be good for the local economy but only four percent of battleground state voters agree.
On business taxes, In battleground states, Trump is even further ahead, at 52 percent to Kamala’s 38 percent. On helping small business, the numbers are basically the same. Nationally 47 percent say Trump would be better and 38 percent say Harris would be. In battleground states, Trump gets the same share, and Harris gets 39 percent.
Perhaps the most entertaining part of the CNBC poll, however, is the question on tariffs. Harris has made decrying Trump’s tariff proposals a major focus of her campaign, misleadingly claiming that they would be a “national sales tax.” And it was the only policy singled out by those economic grandees in their letter. “His policies, including high tariffs even on goods from our friends and allies and regressive tax cuts for corporations and individuals, will lead to higher prices, larger deficits, and greater inequality,” they wrote.
So how do American voters feel about tariffs? Nationally, 54 percent say they think Trump will do a better job on “dealing with tariffs on goods from other countries.“ Harris gets support from just 32 percent of voters.
According to CNBC’s poll, which also found that inflation is the top issue, voters who say inflation and the cost of living and the economy overall are the top issues favor Trump by 13 points.

Breitbart isn’t entirely accurate on the “Nobel Laureates”, all of whom were economists.
The official title for the prize is the “Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel”. Not one of the five original Nobel Prizes. It’s funded by the Swedish Riksbank, but administered by the Nobel Foundation.
Full disclosure – I do not have either a true Nobel Prize, nor this ersatz Economics Nobel.
The good news is that when these ersatz economists design a true science experiment, with hypothesis and actual real-world results, Mr. Nobel will be re-animated and deem this ersatz prize as an ACTUAL Nobel Prize. I’m not holding my breath, for either the experiment, or the re-animation.

I have to pull away from the national election for a comment on our local elections. This post, originally posted on Ivan Longacre’s Facebook page, was re-posted on Joe Bonomolo’s personal Facebook page, under the name of “Sunny Bono”, and also on the Facebook page for Joe Bonomolo for Grass Valley City Council on October 24, 2024. Bonomolo is also endorsed by the Nevada County Republican Party. (Full disclosure, I am a registered Republican.) I have also posted this as it is written on the Facebook page, so the spelling and grammar are not mine, but the original writer’s.
“New Law SB1174 Passed in California 9/30/24.
SB1174 applies to all California local governments—including charter cities.
California is now one of 14 states that does not require voters to show a form of identification at the polls. Like in California, the ability of local governments to impose stricter voting requirements is unclear in many of these states and creates tensions between state and local election laws.
This means anyone outside GV city limits can vote for Joe Bonomolo for Grass Valley City Council.
Take advantage of The Governors un constitutional NEW LAWS !!
1.) Kudos to the Nevada County Republican Party for endorsing a nutcase candidate who advocates voter fraud. Seriously, Nevada County Republican Party, (Bessee, Pruett and the sort) how can you endorse a person who advocates voter fraud? I know, Bessee has a great track record with his defense of the Fire Safe Council (can you say search warrant, I know you can.)
2.) How many people, who have read this post, are lining up to do exactly this? Walk into an election site, give a phony name and address, not have show any ID and get a ballot. But, according to Natalie Adona, our election process is free of fraud and is safe and sound? (No Democrats, you are not getting off scott-free this time.)

DB @ 10:29 PM again. A humorous anecdote, not funny, but humorous.
Three top economists take a small plane to the wilderness in northern Canada to hunt moose over the weekend. The last thing the pilot said was, this is a very small plane and you’ll only be able to bring ONE moose back.
But of course, they each killed one moose, and come Sunday, they talked the pilot into letting them bring all three dead moose onboard. So just after takeoff, the plane stalled and crashed.
In the wreckage, one of the economists woke up, looked around and said. Where the hell are we. Another one says Oh, about a hundred yards east of where we crashed last year.

Talk about screwing it up royally and perhaps putting the party in the wilderness for the next 12 years! –
The Democratic political strategist who accurately predicted “The Emerging Democratic Majority” in 2004 now says progressives have destroyed their political power by supporting mass migration.
It should therefore have been obvious that any moves toward greater leniency at the border raised the possibility of knock-on effects and unintended consequences that would be highly unpopular. And now voters are increasingly open to even draconian immigration restriction measures. An astonishing 62 percent of voters in a June CBS News survey supported “starting a new national program to deport all undocumented immigrants currently living in the US illegally,” including 47 percent of blacks, 58 percent of white college graduates, and even 53 percent of Hispanics.
Other Democrat-leaning strategists are also blaming the Democrats’ immigration policy for Donald Trump’s potential return to the White House. Polling expert Nate Silver wrote on October 25:
This data tells a really clear story. Immigration and the economy are huge liabilities for Harris.

Finally – an honest look at what a Harris/Walz admin will be like:
“Kamala Booed After Beyoncé Bait-N-Switch”
“The Kamala Harris rally in Houston last night was billed as a Beyoncé concert. Everyone, including the media, believed the singer would perform after the announcement was made earlier in the week, but all she did was walk out and make a barely audible speech for a few minutes. Then the rally descended into complete chaos.”
Ha ha! Yep – get yo selves ready fo’ all dat loot and vote her in and you’ll find out. Just like all the promises made by the Dems in CA. Free medical for everyone and billions for the brothers and sisters.
And you didn’t get squat. But of course they cleaned up SF for a few days when the real boss came to town.
Then back to Shit City.
As Lizzo admitted – “I’m so proud to be from this city, you know they say if Kamala wins then the whole country will be like Detroit.”
