The leftist states, or big cities almost anywhere, will burn first and most thoroughly.

This might depend on the inherent limitations of how the system is formatted. Anyway, Captain Ewok should weigh in sometime.

Sad: Thousands Of Women Left Standing Clueless In Voting Booths After Husbands Fail To Tell Them Who To Vote For U.S. — Hundreds of thousands of women across America were left standing utterly clueless as to what to do at a voting booth after their husbands failed to tell them who to vote for. Several advertisements in this election cycle have encouraged husbands to stop telling their wives how to vote. Sadly, many husbands heeded this advice, leaving their poor wives completely baffled and anxious. "I'm so lost.

Jonathan Turley makes good points. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Halloween is over, but the election litigation is getting really scary "Something wicked this way comes." Those words from William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" capture a certain dread that takes hold of some of us tasked with covering the legal elements of the presidential election. Just as Halloween ended, things in the days leading into Election Day have begun to get…well, spooky. Call it election jitters, but some of us have been here before. More than 200 cases have been filed around the country before the election this year. In the last week, worrisome elements have begun to pop up in various swing states.

This editorial was going great guns but quit early. Perhaps it said what it had to, to get the point across. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kamala Harris and the tyranny of experts [...] Democrats have yearned for, promised, and attempted government by the experts since at least as far back as the Woodrow Wilson administration. From President Franklin Roosevelt's National Recovery Administration to President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society to President Joe Biden's American Rescue Plan, Democrats have relied on experts to make more and more economic and social policy decisions. This has been done at the expense of citizens, at the expense of democracy, and for more than 100 years, the results have been disastrous. The problem is not just that those deemed experts don't know half as much as they claim to know. It is also that their bias has become ever more partisan and increasingly sequestered from and contemptuous of public opinion. This was made crystal clear during [...] https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/3212716/kamala-harris-and-tyranny-experts/

One Super Predator in Africa Instills Even More Fear Than Lions With their bladed paws, wielded by a rippling mass of pure muscle, sharp eyes, agile reflexes, and crushing fanged jaws, lions are certainly not a predator most animals have any interest in messing with. Especially seeing as they also have the smarts to hunt in packs. "Lions are the biggest group-hunting land predator on the planet, and thus ought to be the scariest," conservation biologist Michael Clinchy from Western University in Canada said in 2023. But in over 10,000 recordings of wildlife on the African savannah, 95 percent of the species observed responded with far more terror to the sound of an entirely different beast. This animal isn't even technically an apex predator. It's [...] https://www.yahoo.com/news/one-super-predator-africa-instills-113041225.html

IDF discovers Hamas underground weapons manufacturing facility in central Gaza The IDF has released video showing Israeli troops uncovering a Hamas underground weapons-manufacturing facility in central Gaza located beneath the local civilian population. The terrorist-operated facility contained workshops and hundreds of supplies for producing rockets, shells and grenades before it was destroyed by engineering troops, the IDF says. It was situated near the area of Zeitoun. The IDF says the facility also had diving equipment intended for Hamas to infiltrate Israeli territory by sea. Video released by the IDF shows troops navigating a long tunnel that leads to the facility. The IDF says the tunnel route contained several long-term living areas equipped with an oven, stove, food supplies, beds and offices used by the terrorists during the war.

It is still Sunday, so here in timely fashion is our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== THE CLASSY NURSING HOME A family whose ailing mother needed constant medical supervision decided to bring her to an expensive nursing home for a day, to try it out. The next morning, the nurses bathed her, fed her a tasty breakfast, and sat her in a chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden. She seemed OK, but after a while she slowly started to lean over sideways in her chair. Two attentive nurses immediately rushed to catch her and straighten her out. Again, she seemed OK, but after a while she started to tilt to the other side. The nurses rushed back and once more brought her upright. This went on all morning, with the nurses making sure that the old woman didn't fall. Later, the family arrived to see how she was adjusting to her potential new home. "So, Mom, how is it here? Are they treating you all right?" they asked. "It's very nice," she said, "except they won't let me fart."

In Disgusting Call For Violence, Trump Says Politicians Should Stop Sending Kids Off To War GLENDALE, AZ — In a horrific call for violence, former President Donald Trump stated that politicians should stop sending kids to war. Trump made the disgusting statement during a campaign event in Arizona, where he stated that politicians would not be so quick to start wars if they had to fight in them. His vile rhetoric about saving teenagers from dying in the Middle East is now being investigated by the Arizona Attorney General as potential death threat. "Trump's call for world peace was tantamount to calling for executions by firing squad," explained CBS News Anchor Kasie Hunt.

BBC Tries Throwing Cold Water on the Infinite Monkey Theorem, Proves Theorem Correct by Accident The 'infinite monkey theorem' says that a monkey, hitting random keys over an infinite amount of time, will eventually type out the works of William Shakespeare. It's been a saying as long as this writer can remember. The key word there seems to be infinite; that is, limitless amount of time. So when the BBC reports on a study that tries to disprove the infinite monkey theorem, it did not go well for them, at all: [...] https://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2024/11/01/bbc-monkeys-writing-shakespeare-n2403097
