Rigged Polls and Voting Machines, Corrupt Clintons Coddled by the Media -- Let Trump Drain the Washington Swamp

ELECTION DAY MINUS 11. What you need to know now about early voting fraud and the latest campaign news. • • • TEXAS VOTING MACHINE 'ERRORS.' In Texas, Trump voters say their presidential picks were switched to Hillary, but election officials call it 'Voter Error.' After casting their ballots, some early voters in Texas claimed voting machines changed their votes for president from Republican Donald Trump to Democrat Hillary Clinton. The reports came from Dallas, Collin, Tarrant and other Texas counties, according to The Dallas Morning News. The fraud allegations follow a similar pattern : voters say they voted straight-ticket Republican, but when they reviewed their ballots, it had changed their presidential vote to Hillary Clinton for President, not Donald Trump. Their votes for Republicans in down-ballot races were not affected, according to the complaints. Texas elections officials didn't seem too concerned. Dallas County elections administrator Toni Pippins-Poole said it’s likely the issues are due to “voter error” or a machine that needs to be “recalibrated.” • IF YOU VOTE A STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET -- not just in Texas but anywhere -- be sure to check that the machine has recorded your vote for Trump. Do not hit the VOTE button or pull the lever until you are sure the straight GOP vote has been properly recorded. Voter fraud is possible everywhere. Be alert. • • • TRUMP CONTINUES TO USE HIS OWN MONEY. Has anyone in modern American history spent more of his own money in a presidential race? No. And, Donald Trump will continue to invest in his campaign, saying he will spend $100 million of his own money by Election Day : "I will have over $100 million in the campaign, and I'm prepared to go much more than that," he told CNN's Dana Bash outside his new Washington, DC, hotel. Trump also said he is confident he'll defeat Hillary Clinton despite many mainstream media (MSM) polls showing him trailing her : "We are going to have, I think, a tremendous victory," he said. "If I didn't think that, I wouldn't say it." Trump has until now put $56 million into his campaign, according to official records. You won't hear this on MSM, but particularly interesting is the fact reported by Western Journalism -- Trump brought in the largest small-donor fundraising pack in the history of the Republican Party. From small individual contributions of $200 or less, the billionaire has raised $78.6 million, over $30 million more than former nominee Mitt Romney and $18 million more than John McCain. When Bash criticized Trump for being present at his Washington hotel opening instead of campaigning, his answer was swift : "For you to ask me that question is actually very insulting because Hillary Clinton does one stop, and then she goes home and sleeps. I want to back my children." • • • CNN, DON'T MESS WITH KELLYANNE CONWAY. CNN's Wolf Blitzer tried to give Trump's campaign manager Kellyanne Conway a hard time about Trump's treatment of reporters covering his campaign. Wolf asked Conway to convince Trump not to ridicule reporters at his rallies, saying that they are “scared” of violence against them : “He shouldn't be doing that. I mean, can you talk to him? And say to him, 'Mr. Trump, we only have a few days left, these are hardworking young journalists, they deserve to have some security,' if you will, because some of those Trump supporters out there, they get pretty nasty with what they're screaming at these young people.” [Are you in tears for the poor CNN reporters, or perhaps for the conniving Wolf, who got a double-barrelled kickback from Conway? Didn't think so.] Conway skillfully turned the question back on Blitzer, mentioning the WikiLeaks email that showed reporters had sought approval for stories from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta : "[T]hat's not journalism, that's advocacy and, frankly, that's collusion....that would bother us. Many journalists have admitted that Donald Trump has compelled them to 'suspend objective standards of journalism.' I think Americans deserve to have the race covered fairly." Blitzer, not too bright at his best, interrupted to mention the scared young reporters who might be harmed by Trump supporters. Again, Conway took aim : “[T]he only violence I saw at rallies so far was what we saw on video tape by somebody whose cohorts were at the White House 346 times, actively paying people -- $1,500 a pop -- to be protesters to incite violence at Trump rallies. That's being done by Democratic operatives. The stink goes all the way up the chain through the DNC and related groups to Hillary Clinton's campaign. That's all I saw, but I'll make a deal with those embeds...I'll excuse some of their tweets, but their twitter feed for some of them -- we've done an analysis -- is 85%-90% negative toward Donald Trump.” Then Conway asked Blitzer a final quietly blistering question about the coverage of the campaign : “I wonder if the way the news is being covered in this election cycle, particularly in the last few weeks, is the way Americans actually see the news and see the race? It's not clear to me that [what] they're being told is what they think is important to them is what is being reported to them...jobs, Obamacare, ISIS...” • • • MSM POLLS' CHEATING & LIES. American Thinker on Thursday called this election's polling "propaganda polling" meant to "panic the peasantry" -- that's we deplorables. In Jared E. Peterson's article, he said there is mounting evidence of an extremely tight race nationally, and of noticeable recent movement towards Trump in multiple battleground states, but he accused America’s corporate media -- he called MSM the “Goebbels/Pravda” media -- of continuing the Big Lie that Clinton is far ahead and the race all but over. But, said Peterson : "traces of concern were visible on October 26 in the once unfailingly sunny visages looking down on the peasants from the offices of Goebbels/Pravda. A review of the CBS, ABC, NBC and CNN websites for October 26 suggests that America’s collective propaganda ministry senses that people are not dancing to their drumbeat and that a different rhythm is detectible in recent numbers." • Peterson compared the findings of the independent, unaffiliated polling organizations to the Goebbels/Pravda poll findings. Independents : LATimes/USC Tracking (10/20-10/25): Clinton 43%; Trump 45% / IBT/TIPP Tracking: Clinton 43%; Trump 41% / Rasmussen Tracking Clinton 44%; Trump 43%. In the same time period, sqys Peterson, "the Goebbels/Pravda Propaganda Ministry Polling at ABC News" (10/21) showed Cinton at 51% and Trump at 43%. So, says Peterson, the three independents (polling data through 10/25) have the national vote essentially tied, while Goebbels/Pravda polls, "of which ABC is just as good as any," containing polling data though 10/24, gives Clinton an 8% lead : "Gaps of this size simply don’t occur without massive sampling or other methodological differences -- or deliberate tampering, which of course is another way of expressing targeted oversampling of a preferred group as measured against that group’s expected actual turnout." MSM doesn't even discuss this huge difference in their vs independent poll results, and they certainly don't mention the conservative Fox News significantly tightened poll that has Clinton at 44% and Trump at 41%, down from a 7% spread last week. And, now that even the MSM polls are tightening in favor of Trump, MSM avoids the facts. An article at the CBS website, posted on the afternoon of October 26, references its own CBS poll, claiming a 9% Clinton lead nationally, but the article is silent on the three independent polls showing a neck and neck race. And, ABC’s October 26 website election wrap carried an October 14 (!) article asserting a big Clinton lead in the Electoral College. • RULE # 1 for MSM -- when present polls don’t support your narrative, discuss past polls. They must believe that we deplorable peasants won't know the difference. • • • MORE EMAILS KEEP HITTING HILLARY. Two of Hillary Clinton’s top advisors, including her campaign chairman John Podesta, agreed in a leaked email exchange that Hillary's “instincts can be terrible.” Clinton advisor Neera Tanden, president of the Soros flagship far-left Center for American Progress, wrote to John Podesta on September 6, 2015, to check in : “How are you feeling about things? Podesta responded : "Biden will get in. We are still way more likely than not to win nomination. We've taken on a lot of water that won't be easy to pump out of the boat. Most of that has to do with terrible decisions made pre-campaign, but a lot has to do with her instincts. She's nervous so prepping more and performing better. Got to do something to pump up excitement but not certain how to do that." Tanden agreed about Clinton’s “instincts” : "You know I'm not a sycophant to you by any means. But the thing that makes me most confident she will prevail is that you are there. Almost no one knows better than me that her instincts can be terrible. She does have to give time to allow new things to take hold." When WikiLeaks released the email chain, Podesta expressed his “love” for Clinton in a statement to The Daily Mail [why a UK paper?] : “No, I think, you know, I love Hillary Clinton and I think if any fair reading of what I've said about her or what I think about her indicates that I think she is someone who's a tremendous leader who's gotten tremendous results for kids, for families, for people throughout her public service.” [But we know Podesta loves Soros, his mentor and big bucks backer more.] In another email exchange, Podesta and Tanden wondered in shock why Clinton's team didn't disclose information about her private email server long before her presidential campaign to avoid the distraction : “Why didn't they get this stuff out like 18 months ago? So crazy.” Podesta replied : “Unbelievable.” Then Tanden answered her own question : “[I] guess I know the answer. [T]hey wanted to get away with it.” • OUCH!!! • • • An internal memo released Wednesday by WikiLeaks reveals new details about the interplay between the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton family’s personal business interests. The 12-page document was written by Doug Band, a longtime Clinton confidant who had been the Clinton Foundation’s primary fundraiser for a decade. Band wrote the memo as a principal for Teneo, a private consulting firm that raised tens of millions of dollars for the Clinton Foundation while also acting as a personal in-house agency for Bill Clinton. In the memo, Band describes his “unorthodox” role in raising money for the nonprofit Foundation while simultaneously securing for-profit opportunities for the former President. Band argues in the document that his dual lines of work were “independent” of one another. The memo came after criticism from Chelsea Clinton (!!!) -- revealed in a separate email published by WikiLeaks -- over Band’s role within the family’s network of interests. The memo states that as of November 2011, Teneo had raised tens of millions for the Foundation and produced between $30 million and $66 million in revenue for Bill Clinton through various “business arrangements,” including paid speeches. The Clinton camp has denied that Clinton Foundation donors were given special access to the former Secretary of State or that the Foundation was used to enrich the Clinton family. Clinton spokesmen have not yet commented on the Band memo. The campaign has refused to confirm the authenticity of any of campaign chairman John Podesta’s stolen emails and has tried to cast doubt on their authenticity. But, a week after Band sent his memo, longtime Clinton lawyer Cheryl Mills sent a document to Podesta and Band laying out several options for unwinding the former President’s charitable and business interests -- all of which distanced Band from the Foundation. In December of that year, according to the emails, the former President resigned from his position on Teneo’s advisory board. • ALL in the FAMILY - MONEY. • • • EARLY VOTING TRENDS. Early voting results are predicting tight races in key states, with Donald Trump holding potential advantages in Florida, Ohio and elsewhere, while more Democrats have cast early ballots in Nevada and North Carolina. In Florida, Republicans have a 1.8% lead in ballots received as of last Friday, reported Fox News. Republicans and Democrats had equally requested 3.1 million early ballots, a record for the state. In Ohio, early voting among blacks, critical in President Barack Obama's victories there in 2008 and 2012, is down 10% while early ballot request among whites is up 3%, said Fox News. Politico reported on Tuesday that in Nevada Democrats had cast 23,000 more ballots than Republicans out of the 150,000 cast so far, and they also hold a slight edge in ballots cast in North Carolina. WFAA-TV reported on Monday that Texas early voters set records on the first day polls were open in Dallas County (more than 58,000) and Tarrant County (more than 43,000), in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. • • • THE JUICIEST NEWS OF THE DAY. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich pounded Megyn Kelly's bias against Trump on the Kelly File, accusing her of being "obsessed with sex" Tuesday when she brought up claims by women against Donald Trump that he has groped them and otherwise made unwanted sexual advances. Gingrich had said two "alternative universes" will exist over the next two weeks in which pollsters do not use accurate data to measure voters' feelings. He said media, including Fox News, are not accurately looking at data. Kelly challenged, asking whether Trump himself has some responsibility for the tape of him making lewd statements in 2005, and the 11 women who have made public accusations against him. Gingrich said Trump's numbers are low because most of the media coverage of him has been negative, while the same media ignores Clinton's email scandal. Kelly's response : "Let's assume she is corrupt. She was just as corrupt three weeks ago and three months ago." But, Kelly said, Trump's poll numbers tanked after a bad first debate performance, followed by his talking about charges by a former Miss Universe that he shamed her about her weight, followed by the tape and the sexual allegations. "If Trump is a sexual predator..." Kelly began. "He's not a sexual predator," Gingrich snapped back. Kelly said she was only trying to make a hypothetical statement, but Gingrich shook his finger at Kelly and said she was ignoring Bill Clinton's own history : "I'm sick and tired of people like you using language that's inflammatory, that's not true." Kelly answered : "Excuse me, Mr. Speaker, you have no idea whether it's true or not." Gingrich replied, "Neither do you." "I'm not taking a position on it," Kelly said, adding, "I think your defensiveness on this may speak volumes, sir....What I said is, if Trump is a sexual predator, then it's a big story....We have to cover that story, sir." Gingrich answered : "Sure, OK. So it's worth 23 minutes on the three networks to cover that story, and Hillary Clinton's secret speech in Brazil to a bank that paid her $225,000 for saying her dream is an open border where 600 million people can come to America is not worth covering." Kelly said that story was worth covering, too, and Fox covered it. Gingrich then took on Megyn Kelly directly : "You are fascinated with sex, and you don't care about public policy." Her reply : "Me, really?" Gingrich said : "That's what I get out of watching you tonight," noting that she had pressed Trump VP running mate Mike Pence about the issue moments earlier. Kelly said the allegations are a "real issue" that should be covered, since Trump is trying to win the highest office in the land. Gingrich : "You want to comment on whether the Clinton ticket has a relationship to a sexual predator?" Kelly : "We on 'The Kelly File' have covered that story as well." Gingrich : "I want to hear your words : Bill Clinton sexual predator. I dare you. Say Bill Clinton, sexual predator." Kelly did not repeat the words, and immediately ended the interview. Kelly's last shot was : "We're going to have to leave it at that, and you can take your anger issues and spend some time working on them, Mr. Speaker." But, Newt got the last word : "You too." • Rabbi Dov Fischer, whose political commentaries have appeared on the op-ed pages of the Wall Street Journal, The Weekly Standard, National Review, and the Los Angeles Times, called the Megyn Kelly - Newt Gingrich exchange "riveting." He also said : "For me, it also was the last straw. Let the drive-by media attack Gingrich, but I thought it was his finest hour since he handled John King four years ago at that GOP primary debate, when King of CNN started attacking Newt by quoting Newt's bitterly vindictive ex-wife....But, with two weeks left to this deeply demoralizing presidential race that should have been a walk-away for the GOP -- the country not only needs change, but wants change, and Hillary is the most despicable person ever to seek high office...I am just sick of Kelly. And her arrogant comments to Newt at the end, telling him to "deal with his anger issues," were my last straw. In my home, The Kelly File now is assigned to the "Circular File." • • • American Thinker's Michael Finch wrote on Thursday : "Donald Trump is going to win on November 8th....Trump is not a Republican in any sense of what we are used to. He is really nonpolitical, so his audience, again, is not the Paul Ryan-Mitt Romney class, but the dissatisfied, concerned, pissed off, and anyone else who feels the country is going in the wrong direction. And remember, that number is upwards of 70%, which obviously includes a lot of independents and Democrats. And, not to be forgotten, it includes the millions of Bernie Sanders supporters....let’s face it, outside of very few bought and sold Clintonites, the Democratic Party primary was completely rigged against Bernie. Everyone knows it, the folks who felt the Bern, most of all. Trump knows this as well and he is using it to reach this audience....Trump is not playing by the usual rules, he refuses to buckle and play as the good Republican Marquess of Queensberry candidate just so he can end up as road kill under a rancid, corrupt Democratic attack machine. It is funny that so many who stood by him and rooted for him have also gone weak in the last days, just as the battle is engaged. History is full of examples of the flinch, the pause and hesitation, the worry that the risk of total catastrophe is so great that one must wait and pull back. But the reward in this case is the saving of our country. Trump, for all the bluster and bluff knows this and can see the path to restoring our Republic. Yes, he has the, dare I say, political vision. But even more critically, he has the boldness to strike when least expected, against all odds in the quest for victory, even if the Lieutenants around him are feeling the jiggle in their spine." • • • Dear readers, forget the mainstream media -- forget the polls -- forget the GOP establishment. Concentrate on the man who is spending his own millions, risking his own business and putting his own reputation on the line to save America from the jackels on the Progressive left, led by Hillary and Bill Clinton, bought and paid for by George Soros and foreign interests. They have sunk America up to her knees in corrupt politics and government. There may never, in our lifetime or perhaps ever, be another Donald Trump to save her. A vote for Trump is a vote for the future of America as a constitutional Republic. Do it. Let Trump drain the Washington swamp.
