I am reminded of a song, "And the days dwindle down to a precious few..." .

Just 25 days from now is the General Election Day.  Because of the chaos going on with this election cycle, we are tying to prepare ourselves for the fact that we may not know who the President is at the end of that day, and may not know that for days or even weeks which gives more time to those who want to cheat.


A little history.......

The 24 Lies Kamala Harris Told At Last Night's Debate

Before we get into the lies, which were painfully easy to spot, an observation: I notice from watching social media while the Vice Presidential debate was going on last night that while nobody really seems to like Kamala Harris, the people who seem to have the most visceral dislike for her are women.

At the risk of an overgeneralization, women pick up on different things than men. Women have a higher emotional IQ than men, so that's not surprising. They read body language better and pay it more attention.
 

Kamala Harris' body language isn't good. While Mike Pence often looks a little like an animated statue; his movements are very placid and he's extremely still - it wouldn't be unfair to say that Pence exhibits very little body language at all - Harris, on the other hand, is a waterfall of body language, almost all of it off-putting.

She flashes this very hostile smirk incessantly. She does the "I won't be lectured to" Basic Bitch pose which comes off as entirely disrespectful and ugly. She has this wild expression in her eyes which comes off almost as a tell that she's lying. She's insincere, and she's insecure, like she knows she conned her way to where she is. She's looking for something to be offended by and seems to pounce on such opportunities.

As a guy, I'm just focused on the substance you'll see below. But female friends I talked to all said they couldn't even get to the substance because they were so turned off by her attitude and demeanor. Two judgements popped out among most: first, that they could absolutely tell she had slept her way up, which seems like a mean thing to say but it makes sense as it fits with the insincerity and insecurity and hair-trigger offense she shows; and second, that they see her as that woman in the office or the social circle who abuses what power she has in the relationships therein.

One said "Harris is that female boss who doesn't belong there and acts like she's a queen, and all the employees hate her and want new jobs.

It's not surprising that in the Democrat primaries, where the female vote is what governs, Kamala Harris was a lead balloon. Even before you get to ideological issues or matters of substance she was already doomed just based on her presentation.

But on the substance, it's worse. These actually came from the Trump campaign, but they meshed pretty well with the list I'd written down so I just figured I'd crib from their work...

HARRIS: "The president said [coronavirus] was a hoax."

FACT: Harris repeated a frequent lie from the Biden campaign that has been debunked by at least 8 fact checkers; President Trump never called the coronavirus a hoax.

• The Washington Post gave Biden's campaign 4 Pinocchios for making this claim.
• The Associated Press: "Biden distorts Trump's words on virus 'hoax.'"
• CNN: "Biden ad misleadingly suggests Trump called Covid-19 a 'hoax'."
• PolitiFact: "Biden's video is inaccurate. We rate it False."
• FactCheck.org: "Trump said that when he used the word "hoax," he was referring to Democrats finding fault with his administration's response to coronavirus, not the virus itself."
• Check Your Fact: Trump "did not refer to the coronavirus itself as a hoax."
• Lead Stories: "Trump Did NOT Call Coronavirus A 'Hoax' Or 'Political Conspiracy."
• Snopes: "Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax."

HARRIS: "And in spite of all of that, today, they still don't have a plan. They still don't have a plan" on coronavirus.

FACT: President Trump and his Administration have taken swift action on the coronavirus from the beginning, leading a whole of government response to the pandemic.

• In January, President Trump formed the Coronavirus Task Force and suspended travel with China.
• According to Dr. Fauci, the Trump Administration "acted very, very early" to combat the spread of the virus and did not delay in putting in place mitigation strategies.
• On February 11, top Biden coronavirus advisor Ron Klain admitted the Trump Administration was "far from doing nothing."
• Even Democrat governors like Andrew Cuomo praised the Trump Administration's response: "What the federal government did, working with states, was a phenomenal accomplishment."
• The Trump Administration completely overhauled the old and outdated testing system and replaced it with an innovative new testing strategy to meet the country's needs.
• The United States leads the world in coronavirus testing, with more than 100 million tests completed and more than three million available per day.
• "We needed a significant amount of the supply chain from the administration to allow us to at least double testing in New Jersey," said New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D). "We got it... they're helping us out."
• President Trump used the Defense Production Act dozens of times to expand coronavirus testing technologies and capacity.
• President Trump launched Operation Warp Speed to guarantee that the American people are first in line for a safe, effective coronavirus vaccine-at no cost-as soon as one is developed.
• The Trump Administration announced an historic deal with Pfizer to secure 100 million doses of a vaccine-with nearly half a billion more to potentially follow-as soon as it is successfully approved and manufactured.
• Multiple coronavirus vaccines are now in their final stages of development-an "impressive" accomplishment, according to NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins.

HARRIS: "We now know because of great investigative journalism that Donald Trump paid $750 in taxes."

FACT: Harris is wrong; President Trump paid millions of dollars in taxes in 2016 and 2017.

• A Trump Organization spokesman has directly said that "most, if not all, of the facts appear to be inaccurate" in The New York Times' reporting.
• The Times' reporting ignores that the President paid $7.4 million in federal taxes in 2017, not $750.
• The Times' article ignores millions of dollars the President has paid in payroll, property, and other taxes, along with state and local taxes he has paid.

HARRIS: "And through a plan that is about investing in infrastructure, something that Donald Trump said he would do. I remember hearing about some infrastructure week, I don't think it ever happened."

FACT: President Trump released an infrastructure plan more than two years ago, and has repeatedly called on Congress to invest trillions in our infrastructure and included proposals in his budget to do just that.






Oh, in case you were wondering:

Biden says he'll answer court-packing question 'when the election is over' .

"The Most Critical Election of Our Lifetime" drew thousands to D.C. You can see the march here: Prayer March 2020 in Washington, D.C. 

How do we fix this - WE PRAY and WE VOTE and we get OTHERS to vote. 

I have heard it said that only half of the church members are registered to vote and only half of those vote. Well it is too late to register to vote, but Early Voting is Wednesday, October 14, 2020 to Thursday, October 29, 2020, and if at all possible,  be a VIP and VOTE IN PERSON.
