This is an easy-reading, thorough analysis of what's going on with Kommie's campaign and what it probably means. Can you find anything to object to? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Are Voters Asking The "Political Toast" Question About Harris And Her Campaign? Much in the manner of the most famous modern crash-and-burn campaigns – George McGovern in 1972 and Michael Dukakis in 1988 – the signs are there that voters are starting to ask about Kamala Harris the political "toast" or "doom" question from which no presidential campaign can recover: "If she can't even run a campaign, how can she run the country?" The steady pattern since early September of questionable decisions, sudden turnabouts and self-induced controversies that have plagued the Harris campaign reached last week exactly the sort of crescendo seen at a similar point in the McGovern and Dukakis efforts: A stream of negative headlines from continuing revelations about the past record of the candidate and her running mate, attempts at clever tactical moves that become strategic debacles, the release of TV ads or videos that anyone outside the campaign finds incomprehensible or even mildly ridiculous, public appearances by the candidate and the campaign's most prominent surrogates that draw backlash and worsen the problem they are supposed to fix, growing complaints by party professionals and operatives about campaign oversight or ineptitude, down-ballot candidates out abandoning the national ticket, and a campaign structure struggling to process disturbing developments or disappointing news but even when it does coming up with solutions that seem more improvised exercises in self-therapy than effective political fixes. This sort of thing has been seen before and with serious consequences. [...] https://amac.us/newsline/elections/are-voters-asking-the-political-toast-question-about-harris-and-her-campaign/

These are cute little critters. Be sure to see all 7 photos. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Polish zoo celebrates the birth of 4 Sumatran tigers, a critically endangered species WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A Polish zoo is celebrating the arrival of four Sumatran tiger cubs, announcing their birth Friday after keeping it a closely-guarded secret for weeks due to fears they may not survive. Officials at the Wrocław Zoo in the southwestern Polish city of Wroclaw said the tigers — a critically endangered species whose numbers have dwindled to around 400 in the wild — were born on July 22. But the zoo chose not to go public with the news until they could grow a bit, gain some strength and be vaccinated, zoo spokesperson Weronika Łysek said.

On one of Mrs. T-B.'s earlier visits back to Ecu, she left before I did, and I was to follow. Before I left, she called and said, "Can you go to Sally Beauty Supply and buy me... a ponytail? [hurt tone] Mine got damaged." I entered SBS and stood uncertainly in the entrance, feeling very much out of place. The salesgirl asked how she could help, and I said, with bewilderment, "Uh, can you please direct me to the Ponytail Department?" She pointed me to a pegboard on the wall. Fortunately, Mrs. T-B. had given me the precise name and stock number of the desired ponytail, or I'd have remained lost. I made the purchase, exited, and determined that I had a mild case of PTSD. I will never voluntarily enter a place like that by myself again.

"I'm not fat -- I'm just short for my weight."

As long as one doesn't pig out on them, too?

The Daily Beast reported his McDonalds' appearance as "further signs of being unhinged" (paraphrase) and said that he had claimed "without evidence" that Kommie Harris had never worked at a McDonalds.

Can you imagine if that lightweight had been nominated and elected President?

Yee-HAAAAA! [Note to T-B.'s self: Jokes worked again... jokes worked again... ]

This can be what tips the scales in your favor. When I went to add the new Mrs. T-B. (via K-1), the ladies at my bank had to pull some strings, but they put in the effort. Having a Social Security Number is pretty important.

The call wouldn't necessarily be from the 202 area code. Maybe someone here can comment if calls come from masked numbers. They certainly won't close your case unless you fail to respond to an RFE. If you're concerned, contact the Immigration Liaison in your Congressman's office. He or she can inquire as to the status of your case. You'll have a simple form to fill out, giving the office permission to inquire on your behalf.

Bret Baier Asks Harris To Prove She Moving Forward By Handing Her Baseball Bat, Wheeling Out Caged Biden WASHINGTON—Offering the vice president a chance to gain the trust of voters skeptical about whether her policies would actually differ from those of the current administration, Fox News host Bret Baier reportedly challenged Kamala Harris Wednesday to prove she was moving forward by handing her a baseball bat and wheeling out a caged President Biden. "Ma'am, you claim your presidency would not simply be a continuation of the past four years, so why don't you just show that right here, right now?" said Baier, who [...] https://theonion.com/bret-baier-asks-harris-to-prove-she-moving-forward-by-handing-her-baseball-bat-wheeling-out-caged-biden/

Dems Switch Out Kamala For A Wheel Of Cheese With A Sign Reading 'Not Trump' U.S. — In a desperate, last-ditch attempt to keep Donald Trump from winning the election, Democrats have announced they are switching out Kamala Harris for a wheel of cheese with a sign reading "Not Trump." Party officials reportedly held emergency closed-door meetings following Harris's widely panned interview with Bret Baier of Fox News this week, instead opting to utilize a rarely used loophole in election laws to install a block of cheese as the party's candidate. "We feel the cheese is far more likable and, honestly, more intelligent," said one high-ranking Democrat who asked to remain anonymous.

TV Ratings Saved As Trump Will Now Host All Late-Night Shows U.S. — Following a successful appearance at last night's Al Smith charity dinner, former President Donald Trump signed a deal to host every late-night TV talk show, saving networks from a lengthy ratings drought. Executives at several major networks were reportedly wowed by Trump's comedic speech at the dinner and immediately placed calls to the former president's campaign to bring him on board to host all of the late-night shows. "They came to me crying, absolutely bawling," Trump recounted in an appearance on Fox & Friends this morning. "They said, 'Save us! Our ratings are terrible!' I almost said no, to tell you the truth. I don't want to sit in Jimmy Kimmel's chair. You don't know where he's been, that guy. Dirty Jimmy, they call him." Among the shows Trump now hosts are [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/tv-ratings-saved-as-trump-will-now-host-all-late-night-shows

Venezuelan Gang Wiped Out After Attempting To Take Over Buc-ee's NEW BRAUNFELS, TX — A large Venezuelan gang was completely wiped out this week after trying to take over a local Buc-ee's location. According to eyewitnesses, the gang, which was formerly based in Denver, had grown too confident after finding it incredibly easy to take over several apartment complexes. The violent criminals were soon put in their place when they marched on a Buc-ee's, guns blazing, only to find themselves greeted by a world-class force of polite employees, roasted nuts, savory pulled pork, delicious fudge, and heavily armed Texans. "They never knew what hit them," recalled Shawn Erickson, who had stopped at the Buc-ee's and saw the entire shootout. "They rolled up and tried to start [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/venezuelan-gang-wiped-out-after-attempting-to-take-over-buc-ees

Polls Show Democrats Have Slight Lead In Early Vote-Rigging U.S. — Early voting polls from swing states like Pennsylvania and Michigan indicated that Democrats are clinging to a slight lead in early vote-rigging. According to election officials in key counties across the two states, the news is rather surprising, given the Democrats' strong performance in vote-rigging in the last several election cycles. "The Democrats are still leading in early vote-rigging, but just barely," said ballot counter Dan Kratz, who was in charge of putting up posterboards to block people from watching the ballots being counted in 2020. "Honestly, I'm just intrigued to see the Republicans putting up more of a fight. Usually, the [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/polls-show-democrats-have-slight-lead-in-early-vote-rigging

It's Sunday, and high time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke*: *guaranteed to evoke approvals and positive progress, if correlation = causation ============================================ HALLOWEEN JOKES I threw a huge Halloween party last year, but this year I'm ghosting it. My Halloween costume is merely my Monday face with more makeup. Why did the ghost become a bartender? Because he knew how to lift spirits. I'm dressing up as a responsible adult this Halloween, but it's just a costume. Why are ghosts such bad liars? Because you can see right through them! Why did Dracula fail at stand-up comedy? His jokes really sucked. What's more terrifying than a haunted house? The in-laws visiting. I'm not arguing -- I'm just passionately expressing my point of view that Halloween candy should be a major food group. This Halloween, I'm going as my own worst nightmare -- a morning person. This year, I'm going as a black hole, because my social life is already a void. The scariest part of Halloween isn't the monsters; it's realizing that you're another year older and still eating candy for dinner.
