BIDEN: Republicans "are the kind of guys you'd like to smack in the ass".

My response: Progressives (note that I didn't say 'Democrats') are the kind of people (note also that I'm not being gender specific) you'd like to smack in the head -- with a baseball bat preferably, since nothing less can get their attention.

[We had a jackass once, many, many years ago, and it sometimes took a 2x4 to get his attention; they are very stubborn animals.]

A LITTLE SWEET REVENGE against Democrats threatening to kill careers of Trump lawyers.

FALLING LEAVES 2024 WEEK 7: While the weather is relatively warm today (mid-60's) the day definitely has a dreary, dank, gloomy midwinter vibe. I think it's the wind, which is brisk for our neck of the woods. That said -- here is this weeks threesome (well, with one addition).

If you look carefully, you can see a small white spot at the bottom of the barn door. That is our cat Tuxedo.

The barn is actually his second home, so he's out sunning himself next to his front porch. The cats, all six of them, are outside more enjoying the cooler weather.

Now for two more this week. Here's our pond, taken from about midway down the stairs to the pond.

And this one is of our house, also taken from midway along the walking path that leads down to the pond.

It's clear that the 'falling leaves' season this year is nearly over. Last week we had brilliant colors throughout the area. This week the colors are mostly gone everywhere -- as evidenced by the depth of the leaves all around our home -- and the winds today, even though light, are driving the rest off the trees.

Next week, I think, will be the last of this series.

NAH. WE'RE JUST ANTI-STUPID. NY Gov. Kathy Hocul: If you vote GOP, you're 'anti-woman' and 'anti-American'.

I.E., WE DON'T TRUST YOU. Texas bars DOJ election monitors from polling sites.

Rightfully so.

WOW! A COMPETENT COURT: Pennsylvania Supreme Court sides with GOP in last-minute mail-in ballot dispute.

A strongly competent court.

SO LET THE LAWFARE BEGIN: Apparently there's evidence of ballot harvesting in this swing state.

DEMOCRAT 'I HATE TRUMP' ALEXANDER VINDMAN in close Virginia House race.

Virginia's 7th district is basically I-95 south from Washington DC. I used to live next door. If it's close there, his Republican opponent has a good chance to win.

CAN'T DEMOCRATS READ? Arizona prosecutor investigating Trump for saying Cheney should face gunfire.

Anything not an emoji?

WE MAY BE GARBAGE ...

... but we vote.

PRE-ELECTION LAWFARE: Second Pennsylvania county probes suspected fraudulent voter registration.

BYRON YORK GETS THAT RIGHT: As election nears, a final torrent of BS.

PROBABLY NOT: Will Jeff Bezos save the Washington Post the way Elon Musk rescued X?

For Bezos, the Washington Post is a vanity project, not a business -- he's merely trying to slow the bleeding....

THE ANSWER IS YES: Is the Left planning election night/inaugural violence?

LAUGHING WOLF: Brace, Brace, Brace.

The sledding is gonna get rocky.

THE DAILY CHART: About that growth....

WEST COAST, MESSED COAST™ — Portland predicts a violent election night.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised; in fact, I rather expect it.
