North Carolina GOP focusing on 'hand-to-hand political combat' to ramp up ground game in battleground state
Former President Trump won North Carolina in 2016, 2020

RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina Republicans are taking both a data-driven and hand-to-hand approach to target key voters in the battleground state whose electoral votes are historically decided by just a small fraction of people.

Republicans won North Carolina in the past three presidential elections, but the results have consistently come down to just a couple of thousand votes, with former President Trump winning by about 4% in 2016 and 1% in 2020. The last Democrat to win the state, former President Obama in 2008, won by less than 14,000 votes.

As Republicans ramp up their get out the vote efforts this cycle, leaders at the forefront of the movement told Fox News Digital that they are focusing their resources on encouraging early voting and delivering their message to the key 1% to 2% that could swing the election for either party.

Jason Simmons, chair of the North Carolina Republican Party, told Fox News Digital that there has been an "overwhelming" response to their knocking on doors and grassroots activism.

Ex-MSNBC Analyst: Harris Is Staring at Electoral Disaster 
Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

For all the hype around the latest polls, which has flipped Nate Silver’s Electoral College projection, it doesn’t feel like she’s ahead decisively a la Joe Biden in 2020. If Kamala is mentioned, it’s her lack of interviews, her bleeding of support among core Democratic voter groups, and the polls not comporting with voter concerns. Trump is leading handily on the issues of crime, immigration, and the economy. The latest New York Times polling string isn’t good for her either. The comical aspect about that is that now liberals are saying the NYT’s polls are too Republican-friendly.

Liberals will likely say that again since the latest NYT/Siena surveys are not good. If this holds, Harris is in a position no better than that of Biden, who dropped out in July. Ex-MSNBC analyst Mark Halperin said that if this poll doesn’t turn out to be an outlier, Harris is staring at an electoral disaster (via Daily Caller):

Op-ed:
Election 2024...Hopefully Not 2020 Revisited
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio 
The Op-ed posted here is this authors opinion alone,and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google  
 
The ABC News three-on-one debate is now one for the history books and history will not treat that fiasco too kindly, especially with Obama's “anointed one” getting few if any bumps in the polls for her performance...and polls this close to an election are a critical, albeit not always right, gauge as to an election's outcome. And with us having bore witness to what was not a debate but an orchestrated...and thankfully failed...attempt by ABC's liberal mouthpieces to derail the “Trump Train,” instead backfired on them for the one who gained the most from their overt bias was Donald J. Trump. How so...because the latest polls show that what were undecided Independent voters are now leaning Trump while moderate JFK-style Democrats are also distancing themselves from the very woman who was part and parcel to the economic, border, and crime fiasco we find ourselves in today.

But why bring up Kamala Harris' debate performance here...because she knowingly did not play by the rules just as she has not done so as vice-president...ignoring our “on the books” immigration rules being but a perfect example. And besides, it was suspected that Harris was privy to the debate questions beforehand so as to spew out her memorized statements while not answering a single question asked...again not playing by the rules.

So where does that now leave Kamala Harris as even CNN is questioning some of her statements? I believe it leaves her facing the proverbial “handwriting on the wall” that even the sure to come “voter fraud on steroids” will not be enough to put her over the finish line as it did with her and Biden in 2020's presidential election. 

Things are different this go round as Harris is now falling behind what were Joe Biden’s numbers regarding certain key demographic groups...as in the all-important black and Jewish vote. In fact, some projections show Trump actually garnering at least 18 percent of the black vote... the highest number since 1972, while Harris is projected to see the lowest number of Jewish voters since Michael Dukakis ran in 1988. But can you blame them for Trump created more jobs for black Americans than this current administration has; and for those of the Jewish faith most know well that Harris is no friend to Israel nor is her VP pick Tim Walz as can be witnessed by their public statements regarding the happenings of October 7th and their lack of statements regarding the recent executions by Hams of six Israeli hostages.

But no matter these truths or even what takes place between now and election day regarding the political discourse is the fact that the 2024 presidential election will ultimately be decided by the Electoral College for he or she who wins at least 270 of the 538 electoral votes...votes cast by each states appointed “electors”...becomes the next President and Vice President. And if neither presidential candidate receives the needed 270 votes, then the House will choose the next President as per the candidate who received the most electoral votes.

Simply stated, it is the Electoral College that chooses our next president no matter how hard the Democrats push for the “popular vote” to determine a presidential election outcome. In fact, the Electoral College is what separates us from what's commonly known as a “pure democracy”... something the Democrats try hard to resurrect each time a presidential election draws near. And the fact remains, whether some like it or not that these United States is not now nor has she ever been a “democracy”...no matter how much yelling and screaming goes on by what more times than not is the Democrat party hierarchy, the very hierarchy that seems to champion across the board “voter fraud.”

Remember, the “popular vote” as it now stands is not a “proportional vote” as per a state's population as laid down in the Constitution, which is one of the reasons why our “Founders and Framers” set-up the Electoral College in the first place. And in this wise move they made sure to do away with “democracy's” definition of being that of “mob rule,” the very thing they wanted to be no part of the new nation they were forging.

However, and this is key, there is leeway of sorts built into the process regarding the time frame as to when an official “certified” Electoral College winner is declared. In other words, the Constitution does not state an actual dedicated time frame for when certification must take place. A perfect example of it taking a long time to certify an election winner saw modern “precedence” being set during the contested 2000 presidential election between Republican Texas Governor George W. Bush and Democrat Al Gore who was vice president under Bill Clinton. And it was this razor-close election...an election where the Democrats claimed “voter fraud” was being committed by the state of Florida in regards to what they said appeared to some not to be fully “punched through” voting cards.

And this foolishness lead to the election's winner having to be decided in the end by the Supreme Court. George W. Bush was ultimately declared to be the presidential winner by 537 votes, thus putting Florida in Bush's column. This resulted in the Electoral College vote then being 271-266 no matter that Al Gore had won the so-called “popular vote” albeit even here by a very slim margin. But the bottom line is that to rightfully declare a presidential winner took over two months after the election was held.

And so what was called the “Hanging Chads” fiasco of 2000 did resurface again in 2020 but under a very different guise, this time with suspected voter fraud being perpetrated via the Democrat's push for mail-in ballots and ballot “harvesting;” machine tabulation tampering; massive amounts of supposed uncounted ballots showing up in the middle of the night; folks especially in blue states needing no ID nor proof of legal residency to vote; and sadly via a somewhat even more sinister route courtesy of Trump's own turned out to be backstabbing Vice President Mike Pence. How so...simply by the fact that Pence was vehemently unwilling to do what the 2000 election had already done by setting “precedence”...as in legally securing allotting time for official “certification” to take place so that all charges of “voter fraud” or “irregularities” had been investigated and determined whether to be true or not. And the fact is that only allotting time for an investigation to take place would have settled the still to this day being disputed actual certified vote count.

What would have been a simple delay in certification was all that was needed...and Pence knew this to be true...yet he willingly chose to side with the Democrats and their mob based mentality, and approved the certification and announced Joe Biden as America's next president while accusations of fraud were still on the table. And this was no matter that Pence knew election “accusations” were being raised even while voting was still taking place. And so the man spewing out misplaced “conscience” rhetoric coupled with a liturgy of misinformed Constitutional discourse was simply too damn scared of personal repercussions to take a stand and do the right thing...in other words to act like not only a man but as a strong, still at that time, Vice President as well.

So why exactly do I bring up Mike Pence and what happened in 2020 now in regards to this November's election? The answer is really quite simple...as in because we might be facing a similar situation...albeit “flipped”...in less than 50 days time as I write this.

How so...because Kamala Harris, Obama's anointed one, in her still current role as Vice President would be the one certifying the November 5th election whether she was to win the presidency or not. An interesting thought indeed. And here modern day precedence was also set when on January 20, 1989 George W. Bush was sworn in as America's 43rd president, after having certified his own election win. And know, as fact, that Kamala Harris would be the one to certify her own election win...something we hope will not be the case...no matter if election discrepancies or accusations were still part of the public and political discourse.

But, and here is where it gets more than a bit dicey for would Kamala Harris willingly and in a timely manner certify an election win if Donald J. Trump were to be elected president, even if the results of his win were indisputable? Better yet would Obama politically allow said certification to take place knowing it would deny him his coveted “fourth term” in office, and would Hillary Clinton allow Kamala Harris to be sworn in as America's first woman president...the position she so coveted? Something tells me I think not on both accounts... not without a knockdown, drag out fight at least. You think 2000 and 2020 were bad...I think you ain't seen nothing yet!

And that alone brings up another perplexing question, if Harris denies certification to Trump how long this time will we go without a declared new president, and when and if would the U.S. Supreme Court step in? In 2000, on December 8th...a full month after the then November 8th election took place...the Florida Supreme Court finally ordered what's known asinter alia,” as in a manual (by hand) recount of ballots for all Florida counties where so-called “undervotes”...the infamous “hanging chads”...had supposedly not been subject to manual tabulation. And on December 12th the election was finally declared in favor of George W. Bush. In other words America went 34 days without a newly declared president. But that was in days before 9/11 changed America and the world forever...simply it was in much less dangerous of times. In today's ever volatile world can America afford to be without an officially declared leader for days let alone weeks or months...I would surely think not.

But here's a suggestion...maybe all contested elections...presidential or not...must be subject to “manual recounts” no ifs, ands, or buts. Sure it takes time and money to do so...lots of time and lots of money...but isn't a fair election worth both time and money...I would think so but I assume the Democrats would think not. And herein lies the crux of all election problems...the Republicans want fair elections, the power hungry, must remain in control Democrats do not. So much for “election integrity”...Mike Pence and his 2020 overt cowardliness proved just that, as does the fact that history could repeat itself if lessons go unlearned. Case closed.

Just A Thought...
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriot / Right Side Patriots Radio

Early voting starts in Virginia today…more than enough time to ‘fix’ the votes. The Constitution calls for an ELECTION DAY not early voting, election months, or even mail-in ballots. Remember, most ‘voter fraud’ occurs at these times NOT on ELECTION DAY. I wonder when and if our Constitution will ever be followed again!

Democratic operative announces party exit after volunteering at DNC: ‘Impossible to unsee what I’ve seen’
Yael Halon / Fox News

A Democratic campaign operative revealed that she is exiting the party after volunteering at last month’s Democratic National Convention, which left her “disenchanted” with Democratic leadership.

In a Newsweek op-ed published Tuesday, Evan Barker described how she went from raising “tens of millions of dollars” for Democrats to distancing herself from a party she now believes is “totally out of touch” with everyday Americans.

Barker said she was initially “thrilled” to volunteer at the DNC, where Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the nomination for president.

“But once there, wandering amidst the glitz and glam, imbibing the gloss and schmaltz of it all, I couldn’t escape a sinking feeling. I felt submersed in a hollow chamber whose mottos were ‘Brat summer’ and ‘Joy’—totally out of touch with regular, every-day Americans and their pressing needs; instead, the most elite people in the world chanted in unison that “We’re not going back,” Barker wrote.

Trump assassination attempt: Why Florida prosecutor says ‘insanity’ defense won’t stick for suspect
State Attorney Dave Aronberg says it's clear that Ryan Wesley Routh was sane during failed Trump attack
Michael Ruiz, Julia Bonavita / Fox News
 
Ryan Wesley Routh's affinity for the Ukrainian cause in the country's fight against a Russian invasion shows he knows enough about right and wrong to make an insanity defense a tough sell in connection with his alleged failed assassination plot against former President Trump, according to a Florida prosecutor.

State Attorney Dave Aronberg, who is not handling Routh's case after federal prosecutors claimed jurisdiction, said that although the suspect was seen smiling and laughing with defense lawyers in his first court appearance Monday, his "manic" demeanor doesn't strike him as criminally insane.

"He fled after all, tried to get away and escape," he said. "So that shows you that he knew the difference between right and wrong. What's ironic about this guy is that he also understood that the Ukrainians were the good guys in their fight against the Russians – but to try to make his point, he was trying to do an evil act in attempting apparently to kill someone."

DeSantis Explains Why Florida Will Conduct Its Own Investigation Into the Trump Assassination Attempt

In a press conference on Tuesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) appeared in a press conference to detail why his state would take the lead on the investigation into the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

To recap, on Sunday, United States Secret Service discovered that an armed man was hiding in the bushes at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. An agent noticed the muzzle of a rifle in the shrubs, the Associated Press noted, and fired at the gunman. The suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, fled the scene but was later tracked down and arrested. The FBI confirmed that Trump was the target. 

This is the second attempt on Trump’s life in two months. In July, Trump was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania. The assassin’s bullet clipped his ear. 

In a press conference on Tuesday, DeSantis doubled-down on his decision to let the state of Florida handle the investigation into the second assassination attempt against Trump.

Misplaced Anger

...
So with Israel now near, but not yet fully done completing what it calls its “tasks” in southern Gaza, focus as per Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is now shifting to Israel's northern border with Lebanon as daily exchanges of fire with Hezbollah...who are also a proxy of Iran...continues to take place. And that now leaves Benjamin Netanyahu alone to make the aforementioned heart wrenching decision regarding any hostages still alive...a decision not uncommon in times of war...as in will Netanyahu be forced to decide to sacrifice the few to save the many…in this case the lives of almost 10 million Israelis vs. maybe less than 75 hostages.

War is rife with examples of those who willingly gave their lives to save others...both World Wars saw many such sacrifices being made both on an individual and on a larger scale... google “war sacrifices” their stories are there. And while those individuals are rightfully honored as heroes, the “Solomon-like” decision that Benjamin Netanyahu now seems to be facing should be heralded and supported not condemned especially by the Israeli people. Why so...because if he makes the wrong decision to put the lives of the few over the lives of the many due to Israeli public or even U.S. pressure, the solemn words “Never Again” could not only lose all meaning, but might well become but a sad epitaph engraved on the Jewish State of Israel's gravestone...Read entire article and see videos here.
