Violent Leftist Arrested For Beating Trump Supporter in Grocery Store, Breaking His Teeth Over ‘Trump 2024’ Hat:

This is what happens when Trump supporters are labeled “garbage,” “Nazis,” and “Fascists” by Democrat leaders and their media stenographers.

A violent leftist was arrested for beating a Trump supporter at a Bath, New York, grocery store on Friday.

60-year-old Robert Yott was arrested on Friday after he became aggressive and confronted a Trump supporter wearing a ‘Trump 2024’ hat at Tops Friendly Markets.

According to police, Yott repeatedly punched the Trump supporter in the face and broke his teeth.

Portland, D.C. Businesses Board up in Preparation for Election Day Unrest:

Businesses in deep blue Portland, Oregon and Washington, DC, are boarding up in preparation for potential unrest ahead of Election Day.

Banks, small businesses, and office buildings in downtown Portland can be seen with plywood secured over doors and windows to protect properties from damage, The Oregonian reported. Leftist and anarchist protesters notably rioted for nights on end after Donald Trump was elected in 2016 and terrorized the city in 2020 following the death of George Floyd.

“If your sports team loses, do you go out and break windows?” said real estate developer Jordan Schnitzer, who owns the Pacific Center officer tower on Southwest Sixth Avenue. He said he had spent approximately $20,000 boarding up three of his downtown buildings, calling the effort precautionary. 

Similar reports have arisen out of the nation’s capital, where businesses close to the White House are boarding up in case violence break out. 

“We are already getting requests from businesses if they should board up. We are getting requests about people moving trash cans inside,” Ward 2 Councilmember Brooke Pinto said during a public safety meeting last week, WUSA9 reported.

According to DC News Now, McDonald’s, the Frame Mender and the entrance to 750 17th St NW were almost completely boarded over by Thursday evening, although they were still open to the public.

“I think it’s terrible that it has to be done, because no one wants it. I don’t think it should be necessary, but maybe because of the past, it’s necessary. I understand that they have to do it, but I feel sorry that it has to be done,” said Joeri Vanbroekovon, who was visiting D.C. for the election.

'Damn shame': Trump signals distrust for swing states that have warned of delayed results:

Trump suggested that Americans should demand paper ballots and faster results.

President Donald Trump expressed his displeasure Sunday over the likelihood that it might take officials over a week after Election Day to count votes in certain swing states.
 
"We should have one-day voting and paper ballots. And I just heard that a couple of states may go an extra 12 days. How the hell do you have an election? You know, they spend all of this money on these damn machines — and paper ballots, you'd have the answer by 9 o'clock tonight."
 
Pennsylvania, the state with 19 Electoral College votes where Trump apparently has a slight edge, is expected to take several days to release its final results because it cannot begin processing mail-in ballots until Election Day.
 
County election offices can also continue receiving completed military and overseas absentee ballots until Nov. 12, drawing the process out further.
 
The official website of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania states:

Hundreds of thousands — sometimes millions — of mail ballots are cast in every election, and current state law does not permit counties to begin opening these ballots until 7 a.m. on Election Day. That means county election officials cannot even remove the ballots from the envelopes and prepare them to be scanned until that time — on a day when those same officials are also running more than 9,000 polling places across the state. Then, under the Election Code, counties may not even begin to record and publish mail ballot results until after the polls close at 8 p.m. Election Day.

NBC strategically timed Harris' promo on 'SNL' to get around federal law: FCC commissioner:

The timing of the Democratic promo likely ensures that NBC cannot satisfy the FCC's equal time rule.

NBC's apparent attempt to give Kamala Harris a last-minute boost with a cringey spot on "Saturday Night Live" — which some critics have called an "in-kind donation" — appears to have been strategically timed in order to "evade" Federal Communications Commission rules, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr said ahead of the Nov. 2 broadcast.

Carr, in the Republican minority on the commission, noted on X ahead of Harris' appearance, "This is a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC's Equal Time rule. The purpose of the rule is to avoid exactly this type of biased and partisan conduct — a licensed broadcaster using the public airwaves to exert its influence for one candidate on the eve of an election."

Carr suggested that the last-minute nature of Harris' "Saturday Night Live" spot was ostensibly the liberal outlet's way of flouting the FCC's rule.

Radio host Ari Hoffman was among the many critics who highlighted the resemblance between NBC's Harris skit and Trump's September 2015 skit on Jimmy Fallon's "The Tonight Show," writing, "Kamala continues her pattern of ripping off Trump."

In the 2015 spot, Jimmy Fallon, dressed up as Trump, sat opposite the future president with a fake mirror between them and conducted an interview.

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung wrote, "In addition to stealing policy ideas, @KamalaHarris has now resorted to stealing comedy skits."

Death of Peanut the squirrel radicalizes people against government tyranny. Even Elon Musk goes nuts:

The pet was popular online until someone complained to the state.

Social media was lit afire with outrage on Saturday over the death of Peanut the squirrel, a pet and online star, at the hands of the New York state government. Even Elon Musk, a strong supporter of former President Donald Trump, condemned the killing.

The pet squirrel was euthanized by the Department of Environmental Conservation after anonymous complaints were lodged against the owner Mark Longo. Another pet belonging to Longo, Fred the raccoon, was also euthanized.

The incident enflamed critics of state tyranny online, where many memes were cast.

"Government overreach kidnapped an orphan squirrel and executed him," Musk wrote.

"I want a government small enough to have neither the time nor the resources to conduct a 5 hour raid over a pet squirrel," read another popular response.

"Petty bureaucrats can, at a whim, terrorize people. Nobody was being hurt, good things were being done, but some petty rule was broken. They mobilized goons and destroyed something good," read another tweet.

"Euthanizing someone’s indoor pet squirrel under the guise of a rabies concern when New York is infested with rats is a perfect allegory for how the government functions writ large - DRAIN THE SWAMP," said another critic.

NBC Forced to Air Trump Campaign Ads During NASCAR and Sunday Night Football After ‘Equal Time’ Rule Violation by Kamala Harris’s SNL Appearance:

NBC News was compelled to air a campaign ad from President Donald Trump on Sunday evening in response to Kamala Harris’s controversial appearance on “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) just days before the election, which violated the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Equal Time rule.

During NBC’s Sunday night NASCAR coverage, former President Trump’s campaign ad was played, with Trump delivering a pointed message to voters. Wearing his iconic red “Make America Great Again” cap, Trump warned that electing Harris would bring “depression” to America, urging viewers to make their voices heard at the polls.

This ad, airing across both NASCAR and NBC’s Sunday Night Football post-game coverage, provided Trump with a total of 120 seconds on the network—an apparent effort by NBC to meet the Equal Time rule’s requirements, according to The Hollywood Reporters.

[The ad is at the link.]

Michigan sheriff’s office reveals state AG’s investigation into Dominion voting machines:

An investigation into the company that created the Dominion voting machines, which have been the subject of claims of malfunctioning in both the 2020 and 2024 elections, has been confirmed by a statement by the Michigan sheriff.

(WND News Center) — On the heels of confirmation from a Michigan state official that there are problems with Dominion voting machines being used in the 2024 election, a sheriff’s office in that state has confirmed it has provided information regarding various issues to state investigators in Texas.

An investigation into the company that created the Dominion voting machines, which have been the subject of claims of malfunctioning in both the 2020 and 2024 elections, has been confirmed by a statement by the Michigan sheriff.

The statement is from the Barry County sheriff’s office in Hastings, Michigan, and explains it has an “ongoing investigation into election related crimes” and that it has been going on since 2020.

The office confirms it has “made referrals for criminal investigation to the Texas Attorney General’s Office.”

That office, the statement confirms, “has opened a criminal investigation related to Dominion Voting Systems, Election Systems & Software, Hart InterCivic, and SolarWinds […].”

AP Exit Poll: 80% of Voters Want ‘Substantial Change’ in How U.S. Is Run:

Tens of thousands of voters nationwide ranked the economy, jobs, and immigration as their priority issues in an Associated Press Election Day exit poll — and the vast majority said they want “substantial change” in how the country is being run.

In the AP VoteCast poll, which surveyed more than 110,000 voters across the U.S., 40 percent of respondents considered the economy and jobs to be “the most important problem facing the country,” the outlet reported.

As voters exited the polls on Tuesday, roughly 20 percent said that their top issue was immigration, compared to just ten percent who said it was abortion.

Even more notably, about 80 percent of the voters said they want at least “substantial change,” and about 25 percent said they want a “complete and total upheaval,” the AP found.

CNN Exit Poll: Nearly Three Quarters ‘Dissatisfied’ or ‘Angry’ About Way Things Are in U.S.:

A majority of voters are either “dissatisfied” or “angry” about the way things are going in the United States currently, an exit poll from CNN revealed.

For even further perspective, those figures are worse than the RealClearPolitics average showing an average of 69.6 percent saying America is on the wrong track.

Further, CNN exit polling showed that voters still maintain a sense of optimism, as 61 percent said America’s best days are in the future. However, one-third believe those days are in the past.
