Looks like all these folks are leaving for a state where they can have a decent living, warmer climes, and no state income tax state!

"This country is not one that I will ever get fond of. I have not got a very high opinion of them. The people that I have to deal with are very kind, hospitable and have been very good to the two of us. But somehow I feel there is a trace of artificiality in that and also it is the result of trying to impress one. They I think are very jealous of the old world and its background and culture and this results in an aggressive inferiority complex. As for their state of morality, there is none. People seem to delight in trying to outwit each other by any means, mainly crooked. The politicians are racketeers and big business has a tight grip on everything in the country. The small country trader and the farmer I think have their hands securely tied by the big men. I do hope that our country proceeds with caution and doesn't get entirely under the influence of the States."[18]

Citigroup’s code of conduct says employees seeking to engage in any outside business activity where they receive compensation have to disclose that information to managers before participating. Gelinas was earning more than $3,000 a month from a crowdfunded Patreon site dedicated to supporting the QAnon site, which he said helped cover the monthly operating costs.

San Ramon Mayoral Candidate Criticized For Skipping Muslim Forum
https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2020/ ... lim-forum/
SAN RAMON (CBS SF) — A San Ramon mayoral candidate received criticism earlier this week for declining to take part in an election forum sponsored by a Muslim civil rights and advocacy group.

A statement Monday from the Council on American-Islamic Relations’s (CAIR) San Francisco Bay Area Office condemned Sanat Sethy for what its leaders said was his “Islamophobia and fear-mongering rhetoric” in justifying not participating in a Sept. 30 San Ramon mayoral candidates forum online.

“Sanat Sethy made his intent to divide voters based on bigotry very clear and in doing so missed out an opportunity to pitch his platform and positions,” Aliza Kazmi, San Francisco CAIR’s advocacy manager, said in a statement.

Academic freedom - once a professor attains tenure, it is impossible to fire the professor. They can get away even with murder. If they commit two, then we are talking.

Twitter is censoring us — again.

This is what I — an editor at America’s oldest continuously published newspaper, founded by Alexander Hamilton — get when I try to post our follow-up story on Hunter’s financial shenanigans with the Chinese regime.

I don't think that this may affect voting as already people are casting votes in advance voting and through postal ballots. Streisand effect notwithstanding.

But yes, should Trump win they will use this as a fig leaf of why the Biden- Harris ticket lost. In that case will we see a Michelle/ Chelsea ticket next time?

Edited Later:

Errata it was the New York Post and not the usual suspects if NYT that published this. Still feel that the Biden candidacy is on whether grounds.

In 2016 almost all predictions including the last minute ones were wrong, to the extent NYT projected Hillary Clinton as President till they declared Trump. In a lot of Trump Red states, Republicans seem to have increased voter registrations this time. Many current prediction models are still stuck the same way they did before so in some what-if scenarios such as what if Trump gives the same surprise as in 2016 only a very few Trump states turn blue that too within 1%. So you need to check balance tilting away from Trump from last 2016 election than tilting towards Trump as media polls are not accurate.

If people are stupid and fell for Leftist ops such as BLM and Trump loses, Hindus should brace for virulent ops in India too...

They put narrative that he was a rebel against the system and is still shown as rebel against the system but he was and is insider.

Sikhs put pressure on officials to solve 'hate crime' homicide
Joe Goldeen The Record
https://www.recordnet.com/story/news/20 ... 670992001/
...
Harpreet Sandhu, executive director of the American Sikh Caucus Committee based in Washington, D.C., classified Parmjit Singh’s murder as a hate crime, causing “deep, deep sorrow” not only to his family but the entire Sikh community.

He was incredulous when describing how the court could release the suspect for lack of evidence when, he said, that evidence included 17 different witnesses; GPS locations from the suspect’s phone showing him in the park at the time of the crime, going home afterward and returning the next day to retrieve his car; and the suspect seen jumping a fence and running away from the park.

“Evidence, witnesses, and yet this judge has said there is a lack of evidence and witnesses. Granted, we are hoping that the district attorney and the city of Tracy Police Department will file this case immediately with the evidence to be produced in front of the judge,” Sandhu said.

Ambar wrote:The crowds will be present where there are actual campaign rallies, Trump is doing actual campaign rallies where as much of Biden's campaigning has been through ads and him reading off scripts in front of a camera. Again, the poll numbers for Biden will hold up if those claiming to support him actually go out and vote. Looking at the early voting trends of the minorities , it looks like Biden's election to lose. Brad Parscale and Bill Stepien have really not served Trump well, and Trump has himself not helped his chances much by failing to articulate his govt's performance & constant flip-flopping on issues.
