I'd suggest that fatigue is setting in and it's remarkable that the candidates are still standing, but I suspect their medical staff are suplementing them with medications to facilitate wakefullness. Remember Bush Gore..? That took a very long time, if I remember correctly it was two full weeks. And that is a long time to be without a clear answer as to just who will lead your coming government, thus your lifestyle and meet or address your needs. Say...Administration policy. Things have never been so vitriolic in all my life.....ever.... ! But then people have never felt so easily outraged or able to throw flames anonymously. It is a weapon unknown before, we now have the technology to attack from afar with no real threat to ourselves.
Two ideologies Good and Evil. Just who is what and the debate to identify. And the world rests upon the outcome litterally, yes, not figuratively but precisely and accurately for real in every form. Europe, Asia, South America, Australia, Africa...... the Entire Globe will be somehow influenced, and some.... very much influenced. We are the top of the food chain lest you believe otherwise, and it is a precarious place to reside. Lots of entities willing to challange the sovereinty. Even though we don't look at it in the same way. Still we must face the threats from abroad, and facilitate the rewards we are able to those who use the offered sucesses that we afford. That is us...! The United States. How eternal are we? When will our fall to a lower position come ? And what will follow. Will a Diety be involved ? Will history guide us, and what will our values be, in fact what will be valuable ?
I guess this is what coffee is not able to defend against that is showing through .It soon will be nap time for ALL of us, but I hope the administration is known before hand, it would make for restfull nap, or not.
A mini nova by our sun with the reduced magnetic field of Earth could be a one two punch for much of what we hold dear. It seems to happen every 12,000 years or so... I hope the this is wrong
Quote:Mysterious black object with 'energy field' seen 'scanning' ISS during live feed
A man was left puzzled after seeing what he believed to be a black sphere with "static movement" hovering in space during a live feed from the International Space Station (ISS).
Jeff noticed the strange movement when he was watching the live feed on YouTube on October 11.
During the footage, the ISS is located approximately just south of Australia when a black object appears up close to the camera.
Friends, family, foes, and fucking awesome people:
I have a post-election speech planned, but let's be honest, who cares what I think (in a broad perspective, nobody).
But let's get one thing clear, no matter who wins, no matter what platform is preferred in this cycle, we are going to continue on and be well for the next 4 years. Trump is no Stalin, Hitler, or Un. Biden is no Lenin, Marx, or Stalin / Hitler / Un.
Both are equally capable of being the US figurehead, both are capable of being the fraud. But most important, both are really not able to swing policy in any direction that you may believe to be important.
At the end of the day we will all still be bone headed, hard nosed, red blood Americans that will overcome no matter what is thrown our way. Either that, or we wont. And we'll go the way of Rome, so really who cares... Rome turned out well and has many ruins to visit
Happy Election Day Rogues. This is it, the day we felt would never come. The battle has been fought and the winner will soon be revealed. The final results won't be called for a few days, that is unless Pres. Trump wins by such a large number that it will be impossible for the Democrats to overtake him without showing fraud, which most of us know is the only way they could win.
Yes, I'm bias. I make no apologies for my patriotism or wanting to save my country from communism, which is what would happen with a Harris/Biden win.
Bite me!
Looks like the dems have already started their cheating tactics in Philly.

Earlier this morning a poll watcher was denied entry to a Philly polling station.

There are several channels of trusted reporters who will be covering tonight's incoming voter numbers. I think most of them will start anywhere from 6 to 8 p.m. eastern time and stick around until we have an idea of who the winner is. Choose your channel below and join in the conversation in their chat box.
Of course, all the MSM will be covering it, but you can't trust those people. Remember in 2016 when Fox called one of the states but the polls were still open? When people hear tactics like that they think there's no reason to go out and cast their vote. Don't fall for it this time! Keep voting until the polls close, no matter what happens.
Feel free to post your responses here after the votes start coming in (or before if you have a point to make, see fraud, etc.).
Quote:One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "any more".
No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute."
Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say "I love you."
So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick.
This is true for marriage.....And old cars... And children with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, and because we are worth it.
Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a sister- in-law after divorce. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.
Life is important, like people we know who are special. And so, we keep them close.
Suppose one morning you never wake up. Do all your friends know how you really feel? The important thing is to let every one of your friends know your true feelings, even if you think they don't love you back.
So, just in case I'm gone tomorrow, please vote against those assholes, Biden and Harris.
I was perusing through my old books and some websites on the many legends of Great Britain, when I
recalled that most of the tales that have survived tend to have a moral lesson embedded in them.
Last night, my wife was watching a programme on Greek mythology and again, a common-sense caution
lay in the centuries-old narrative. Icarus and his father Daedalus, Prometheus and his zest to promote the
human-intelligence and Jason's Argonauts, all stories that showed the struggles that mankind endures to
be better than itself.
So I kept looking at the British tales -only because it's where I'm from, and after stripping out the 'scare-
the-children' stuff, very little seemed to give them any credibility. But some of these old chronicles don't
carry any warnings in a manner that a child would understand -except the exemplar 'Stay On The Path'!
If we assume that a child perceives the world as literal and any words of caution from elders hold their
exact meaning only, most of the myths I looked at made me wonder what might lay off this 'safe' path for
youngsters that could be dangerous?
Wolves certainly thrived in Britain until they were supposedly exterminated within the fifteenth century.
Bears were gone around the same time in what we call the latter-end of the Medieval period.
Wild boar hung in there until the seventeenth century, but since these hairy swine were favoured for hunting
by the wealthy of the time, the continuation may have involved some form of human-management.
So did the residents of villages and hamlets around England have enough concerns about these dwindling species
that it warranted tales of dread, it's not said. But still, I can appreciate a parents unease of having their children
close to forests and having such beasts as wolves, bears and boars roaming in the shadows.
Job done... but is it?
If such dangerous animals did sanction embroidered stories of beware, why invent other -more oddly
described animals to frighten children in the woods? Here's a fairly modern-day one that I find fascinating.
We're talking about the 1950's, a time when the polio vaccine became common and Elvis Presley starts
grinding his hips. Castro was blazing up his cigar and hurricanes were running rampant in the US.
In Britain, those terrible beasties were long gone and in the quiet coastal marshlands of East Anglia,
a Policeman on his beat would hardly be watching the woodland for such monsters.
Quote:The Shug Monkey.
'The Shug Monkey was first mentioned in print by local writer and broadcaster James Wentworth Day in
his 1954 book, Here Are Ghosts and Witches.
A local Police Constable A. Taylor, who had heard the stories of the creature in his youth, described it to
Wentworth Day as: “a cross between a big rough-coated dog and a monkey with big shining eyes.
Sometimes it would shuffle along on its hind legs and at other times it would whiz past on all fours.”
The man also stated that after dark local children were warned to avoid the Shug Monkey’s favourite haunts,
close to dark, dark forests...'
Shug is old-English slang from the word 'scucca', a demon of sorts. A nice local tale that would make parents
smirk and the children look warily at the country lanes. Suffolk is on the East coast of England (the bump that sticks
out into the North Sea above the London area) and oddly enough, this weird creature -that some may believe came
from a Policeman's vivid imagination, seems to have had not enough of being witnessed.
This particular account was still in Suffolk a county of East Anglia, but in the now-famous area of Rendlesham Forest.
Quote:'In 1956, Sam Holland was taking a bracing January walk in the Suffolk countryside with his spaniel dog Harry
when he spotted something unusual in the trees around 40ft in front of him.
There, in a thicket of trees, was a beast that Holland had never seen before, a kind of bizarre British bigfoot,
a vast creature walking on four muscular legs (“like a lion’s”) covered in thick, glossy black fur.
Easily 10ft in length, Holland struggled to place what the beast could be.
Panicking, his brain raced through the options, wondering whether he had stumbled across an escapee from the
zoo or a private estate with its own menagerie: and then the creature turned towards his direction and stared
directly at him.
As ice-cold terror crept over Holland, he was powerless but to stare back at the creature in horror: as it watched
him and his whimpering dog, he saw that it had a dreadful, frowning face, similar to a silver-back gorilla.
It possessed a thick neck, intelligent-looking, piercing eyes, wide and flared nostrils and terrifyingly huge jaws.
Man and beast stared at each other, one in abject terror, the other in what soon appeared to be utter nonchalance:
after what seemed an eternity, the creature simply turned away and crept back into the dark forest.
When pushed, Holland said the beast had looked like a combination of an ape, a dog, a bear, a lion and a rhinoceros
–he maintained his sighting had been genuine when questioned decades later, saying he believed the creature had
been paranormal, rather than a natural wonder.
Seven years after Holland’s sighting, in the very same stretch of forest, a woman called Peggy Cushing saw an almost
-identical sounding beast with one (fairly large) difference: as she stared at the beast in horror, it shimmered and then
shifted its shape to become a winged gargoyle, taking flight into the darkness...'
An escaped malformed Baboon...? A zoo-free Mandrill? With the regular accounts of Werewolves and shambling
'Man-Apes' now becoming prominent in this small island, was the Shug Monkey just another example of what the
Germans used to insult the British with? 'Inselaffen'... it means island ape!
I'll look for more and thanks to other members for their earlier input.
Related to another country in mainland Europe...? I wonder if we'll find out.
Quote:Severed HEAD dumped in recycling bin – after witnesses thought suspect was playing a Halloween prank
'A severed head was found dumped in a recycling bin after a man was spotted carrying human remains in a
plastic bag in a Spanish town. Cops confirmed that the suspect has been arrested after he was seen carrying
the head poking out of the bag - before discarding it and running away.
Witnesses at first mistook the incident for a sick Halloween joke, with local reports saying the man had even
shown the head to some passers-by including children. Police in the south-west city of Huelva near Spain’s
border with Portugal were alerted around 3pm yesterday after members of the public realised the head was
real.
The arrest was made in a nearby flat just after 9pm where officers also discovered the body of the dead man,
described as a friend of the detainee who was aged around 50.
Neither man has been named.
Shocking footage emerged today of the police examining the bag containing the head after the area had
been cordoned off. Other officers were filmed interviewing witnesses a few feet down the road.
The recycling bin where it was left is in a central avenue of Huelva called Avenida de Pio XII.
Police have not made an official comment on the gruesome find.
Meanwhile, a court in Huelva has ordered officials not to make any comment in the early stages of its judicial
investigation...'
It seems with all the divisive behaviour in the world, Charles Martel is amongst us again.
Quote:Quebec stabbing: Two dead after attack by man in medieval clothes.
At least two people have been stabbed to death in the Canadian city of Quebec by a man armed
with a sword and dressed in medieval clothing, police say.
Five others were wounded in the Halloween night attack. A man in his mid-20s was arrested shortly
before 01:00 (06:00 GMT) on Sunday.
Police advised residents to stay inside with doors locked while an investigation was under way.
The attack took place in the historic Old Quebec neighbourhood. Police tweeted that there was no
immediate indication "that the suspect may have acted for motives other than personal ones".
The suspect's identity has not been made public.
First reports of the incident near the French-speaking city's national assembly came through shortly
before 22:30 local time on Saturday. The suspect was arrested near the Espace 400e business park.
Quebec's Le Soleil newspaper reported that he was lying on the ground, barefoot and hypothermic
when he was arrested. He surrendered to police without any resistance, it said.
Following his arrest, the suspect was taken to hospital for "evaluation".
The five wounded are also being treated in hospital, with varying levels of injury, according to police.
Police have not released details of the victims' identities or ages.
Reporters at the scene have tweeted photos of a police command post outside Quebec's Parliament
Building.
At a news conference on Sunday, Quebec City police spokesman Étienne Doyon offered "sincerest
condolences to the loved ones and families of the people who died"...'
