Too long to post in a facebook post, in my opinion.  Not a long one here, but wanted to get this out, just in case. I mentioned previously that the polling perplexed me.  That something seems wrong.  No, I didn't, and won't break down those polls, and most will say at this point that other than 20% that has already voted, there is substantial agitation in the water.  I would say that the pre-Comey announcement polls are out. I loved Trey Gowdy's response to the dishonorable Senator from Nevada, Harry Reid's letter, accusing the man he just praised a few months ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvMcoZj9Su0 Being Mormon, I didn't mind the inference, because most know that it is not true. Make no mistake that Hillary would not be in this position, if she had followed the rules that ALL federal employees are accountable for.  She did this to herself. I know, milquetoast.  So check this out.  Referring to the polling above. What if, there w...

Did the title catch you?  I wanted to write a moment, to link an historical event to the events of today. First, historical. On this date in 1838, the Governor of Missouri, Lilburn Boggs, issued the Extermination Order, declaring the Mormons a menace, and that they would either be driven out of the state, or killed.  Yes, you read that correctly, driven out or killed.  Governor Bond rescinded the order in 1976.  Missouri was on the frontier, and sparsely populated.  The Mormons were not without blame, posing a political threat to the old citizens.  Of course, after the Mormons were literally driven out of the state, and their leaders taken into custody, no one sought to kill them anymore, so it was symbolic more than anything.  Of course, what happened then does not reflect on the good citizens of Missouri today. It was a terrible time in the US.  Brother against brother.  Missouri was to become a bloody front in the Civil War. So why...

I know that I said no more, but it really is that important, and I think most people dropped it after the Trump non endorsement support.  A few thoughts. $675,000 from McAuliffe's PAC to the wife of an FBI official, ostensibly for her election "campaign".  Soon after, he is promoted to the #3 slot at FBI, and then Deputy Director, overseeing the Clinton email investigation. That is what you need to know.  For those that don't, Governor McAuliffe, was the DNC chair during the Clinton days.  Very close friend to the Clintons.  So $675, 000, plus on behalf of the Virginia Democrat party another $200,000 and change, and uh, guess what? NO CHARGES against Madam Secretary.  Utah seems to be showing some love for McMullin, I suspect that a good deal of it is that he has character.  Of course many in UT see the little m by his name in the paper, (mormon) , and say, "hmm, good guy, good family, not Trump.",  and "We can show that GOP establishmen...

The administration admitted today that huge increases in premiums are coming to a healthcare.gov site near you. The good news?  I am trying to be objective, after all.  More people than ever are "insured".  Of course there are qualifiers.  Most of the people signing up were probably eligible for Medicaid to start with.  That is right.  We wrecked the private health care market, threw billions down all sorts of bottomless pits of bureaucracies, so that people that could have had Medicaid, now have Medicaid. More good news?  We have created a whole new class of law  breakers.  Remember, you are REQUIRED   to have insurance.  If you don't, by definition, you are a LAWBREAKER , a criminal.   Since the healthy are not signing up, the numbers are screwed, thus the massive increases in premiums.  (remember, they were supposed to go DOWN on the average, by $2500) The best part?  It's not even fully implemented.  I...

Probably the last post regarding the election until the aftermath, while reserving the right to comment if something drastic, as defined by me, happens. It is my blog. Not having true libertarian principles, and not focusing his campaign on a winnable strategy, Gary Johnson no longer has my support.  I was an idealist, and if nothing else, have become a committed libertarian, so I thank the two major parties for that, if nothing else. Can you imagine, if the GOP had put up someone like Rand Paul ?  How different the discussion would be. Or if the Libertarian Party had put up Austin Petersen , a true libertarian? I have made the case against Donald Trump for the past year.  I feel that I have been fair, and objective. Let me first say that the new revelations about him are no surprise, or shouldn't be to anyone.  The fact that NBC aided and abetted him in his alleged sexual assaults is not getting the play it deserves. Hillary is a monster.  She believ...

Three questions; 1. Who is your state representative?  Not Congress or Senate, but your statehouse rep?  and, 2. How is a President elected?  Most know by now that it is the Electoral College that makes the selection.  Here is a nice take on it from back in the day; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyIFqf3XH24 So, not entirely accurate.  As we found out in 2000. and, 3. How do we make sure what is happening doesn't happen again?  (Assuming that there are future Presidential elections)  Our votes for President are technically meaningless (except NE and ME, whose State Constitutions spell out how the electors vote) That is right.  A candidate could win 100% of the vote, (or 110% of the vote in Democrat controlled states) and the Electors could go the other way.  Not likely, of course, but there is nothing to stop them from doing that. In 2000, after going back and forth all night on FL, the networks finally went with what the votes...

WikiLeaks has released so much information that a candidate that was not the favorite of the media would be done.  The latest? So the Hillary campaign, coordinating with the DNC, hired thugs to disrupt Trump rallies.  How do we know? Heads have rolled at the DNC.  Fairness abounds. Postal workers posting that they are destroying Republican ballots. Registrars are destroying the registrations of Republicans.  The dead have been linked to absentee ballots.  But no voter  fraud? I was a little surprised that there were no comments on my last Ontherim blog. I have seen writings indicating that Evan McMullin is a Hillary plant. I doubt that, but his path to the Presidency is even more tenuous than Johnson's, and more likely to turn the keys to the White House to Hillary.  He draws no one from Clinton.  Speaking of Johnson When pollsters ask the question who do you prefer as President, Clinton or Trump, no one else can even be considered. ...
