MIAMI – Republican Ron DeSantis’ margin of victory in the Florida governor’s race narrowed Wednesday as additional votes were tallied, coming close to the threshold required to trigger an automatic recount.
The new totals show that DeSantis is ahead of Democrat Andrew Gillum by 0.57 percent of the vote or 46,722 votes. The state will conduct an automatic recount if the margin falls to 0.5 percent

Tightening margin in Florida governor’s race could trigger automatic recount

Here is the thing: Gillum conceded. When a candidate concedes it is usually because his internal people have been hitting the calculators and simply find out that the math ain’t there and tell the candidate. These are no dumb kids hired to do Social Media but elections’ experts that will make sure they see stuff coming to prepare ahead. These people must have told Gillum: “Bubba, you are done. Call it and let’s go get drunk.” And Gillum did concede.

The Senate race? Well, shit happens and there might be  legitimate cause. But suddenly the Governor’s race tightens because of ballots coming “late” from Broward and Palm Beach, heavily Democratic counties?

Once is an Accident.
Twice is a Conspiracy.
There are no Coincidences.

PS: Broward Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes is called by some the most corrupt elections official in the state. One of many things she did was illegally destroying ballots that had been requested for an investigation.

The Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office violated state and federal laws by destroying ballots from a 2016 Congressional race too soon — and while the ballots were the subject of a lawsuit against the office, a judge has ruled.
…
The decision stems from Canova’s bid to unseat Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz in the Democratic primary, a race he lost convincingly, at about 57 percent to 43 percent, or 28,809 votes to 21,907.
Canova, who was checking for voting irregularities in the race, sought to look at the paper ballots in March 2017 and took Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes to court three months later when her office hadn’t fulfilled his request. Snipes approved the destruction of the ballots in September, signing a certification that said no court cases involving the ballots were pending.

Notice that the destruction of ballots favored one Congresswoman Wasserman Schulz?

Now, do you still think me overly suspicious?

Am I the only one feeling this way? Does anybody have the address for Jim Acosta?

Having a discussion with a group of gun nut friends.

Of course the hypothetical question came up “if you have one gun to defend yourself with in a home invasion, what would it be?”

The usual answers came up, 12 gauge, AR-15 w/suppressor, Glock 17 with 33 round mag, etc.

My answer was “a Hi-Point.”

Them:  “Why?”

Me:  “Because I’d sue his estate to make sure that was on his headstone.  ‘Dindu Nuffin.  19?? – 2018.  Was shot with a Hi-Point and cried like a bitch till he died.'”

Yeah, I think I won that one.

The question is how much longer the American majority will tolerate being pushed around by a rural minority. https://t.co/JOw3FOK8F6

Rural states don't "feed America." Less than two percent of Americans work in agriculture. It IS true that the military draws heavily from those states, and I have nothing but respect and gratitude for those who serve.

The Democrats in the big cities of the coasts really do see us as little more than slaves who grow their food, drill their oil, mine their ore, and refine it into the trinkets they want to buy.

We’re not really people to them, just peons who exist to supply them with what they want to make their lives easier.

Normally I wouldn’t call out a reader like this, but since it was posted by Anonymous, eh…

This comment was left on my last post Open letter to the Libertarians:

Libertarians aren’t seeking moral approval from armed robbers. You can hold whatever opinion you choose, but as soon as you point a gun at Americans to “draft” them into your war, or to pay “taxes” to support your war, then you belong in a prison with the Nazis. Who did the very same thing. Why didn’t the German Jews make their own guns and fight their own defensive war? As an educated, mechanically skilled, relatively well-off group numbering in the millions they were in a great position to fight. If they had simply disobeyed as a group nothing would have happened to them, just like when Americans disobeyed additional gun registration in Connecticut in 2014 and California in 2018 without consequence.

Libertarians aren’t seeking moral approval from people who don’t understand economics and will starve people as a consequence. After a hurricane, jacking up the price of water or other necessities which have become more scarce or harder to deliver is the only reliable way to get those necessities to people. If the price is mandated not to increase, then stuff will be sold out and there will be none available. This is not an improvement. The free market is the best mechanism to react quickly to supply damage from natural disasters, and further ration what is available. You can hold whatever opinion you choose, but as soon as you point a gun at Americans to “mandate” them not to change prices, then you belong in a prison with the Nazis. Who did the very same thing.

People who knowingly sell fake medicine belong in prison.

This right there is a kook and why Libertarianism is dead as a political entity.

If you believe in taxation, you are a Nazi.

I guess that includes our Founding Fathers.  Sure, we didn’t have a Federal income tax at the founding of this nation, but we did have taxes and a department of the treasury to oversee their collection.

Rational people can have discussions all day about taxation, what is too much, on what should they be spend, so on and so forth.

Personally I’m big on a flat tax.  Same rate for everybody regardless of how income is made, e.g., wages, salary, income on investment, etc.

There are things not mandated in our Constitution that we spent money on that I’m glad we did.  I’m a huge fan of NASA.  I love that we went to the moon and put a telescope in space for no other reason than science.  That also goes for some of the research done by the Department of Energy on high energy physics, like what is done at Stanford, Argonne, and Fermi National Labs.

We can discuss spending on welfare projects, subsidies to industries, no bid contracts, and all the wasteful spending we do.  That’s reasonable.

I value freedom, I can’t state that strongly enough.   But there is a tipping point at which freedom turns into anarchy and instead of America, you get Somalia.

Instead of the wealthiest and most stable nation on earth, you get one of the poorest and most chaotic.

The goverment spent money to electrify the interior of the United States.  The free market made it cost effective to electrify the major cities of the coasts.  After a certain point, it wasn’t worth it to the electric companies to run wires to rural America because power would be prohibitively expensive and rural Americans wound’t buy it.

In one of the few great progressive victories, our goverment realized it would be a bad idea for the coasts to be 20th century cities with electricity and telephones and middle of the country to be stuck in the 19th century without electricity or flush toilets.  That would cause national instability.  Money was spent to subsidize the power companies to electrify America’s farm land.

The byproduct of that was a green revolution, industrial development in Middle America, and middle class economic growth.

Or we could be like the third world nations of Africa where the rich in the cities have cellphones and the poor in rural areas are still poking in the ground with sticks to subsistence farm.

You do not achieve national stability when you have the first world and third world joined together as one nation.

I don’t think it makes me a Nazi because I’m glad the government paid to run power to the middle of Nebraska or put a man on the moon and taxed Americans to do it.

The achievement was worth the cost.

“Taxation is theft, and I will stand on that principle even if it means that society collapses all around me into socioeconomic anarchy.”

That’s why Libertarians can’t have nice things.

In a followup statement at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Nelson’s campaign announced that overnight the lead shrunk to a 0.4 percent lead for Scott, which is within the one-half percent margin to trigger a recount under state law.

Nelson, Scott race headed to recount

I will hold my crow meal for a while. I am sure Broward, Palm Beach and Miami are engaged in printing some “forgotten” ballots.
