Alas, if I have to drag my 80 year old body through another four years of the Party of the Ku Klux Klan insisting that I’m the Nazi I think I’ll just let my hearing aid batteries die and go back to reading books. Walter and Matt, you two have one of the three podcasts I think are worth paying for so keep it up and I’ll charge up the batteries as needed to not miss a session of ATW.
A squirrel uprising could serve as the functional equivalent of the rousing of the ents in The Two Towers to storm and utterly demolish Saruman's stronghold.
I’m sure the squirrels are capable. They have eaten and mauled my wood deck railings. Eaten through a heavy plastic container to get to the seed. An army could be pretty scary.
Perhaps The Great Reset will turn out the be a reprise of the moment when the rodents overtook the dinosaurs. With us in the role of the dinosaurs. They'll get another shot at evolving again in hopes they do it better the second time around.
The End (if only!) I spend less than 30 seconds a day with the Rush Maddows of 'media' - whose ditto-head audiences make Limbaugh's seem like skeptics of the first order. Groucho used to turn his off during conversations which bored him.
For more than one half of America the world ends in 24 hours, whichever candidate wins. November 5th for God, cockroaches, and the almost all the rest of the planet - tis just another day at the office.
Was on a Zoom call earlier during which only one topic was entirely forbidden - three guesses. Rogan just endorsed Trump, he and Elon are discussing positive change in America and the world. Good friends seem to be taking all in stride. I see no need to dive into a tub of greased hysteria. Tis the end of the world everyday, and always will be - just as all of us are Hitler and always have and will be. A small contingent of the populace has lost the ability to speak and think clearly. Let's hope that's temporary.
Happiness is a choice for all but those suffering from chronic pain, or loss, and those close to these unfortunates. If we're healthy, with good jobs and families, we've got no reason to complain - especially when every election problem that may unfold is/was 100 percent predictable and preventable. The fear-mongers will continue to profit from meeting the needs of folks keen to make themselves as unhappy as possible. Big pharma cashes in big.
We say we care deeply about election integrity; our indifference to staging fair elections every four years screams the opposite. 2024 punches "we couldn't give a fuck" into mile-high signs visible for everyone but us to see clearly. Same day - paper-ballot voting? - Huh? Couldn't-Give-A-Fuck.
For what it's worth, I live in Michigan and I received a call at work on Friday from a Dem organization that's getting out the vote. The guy they wanted wasn't in but they asked me if he'd voted and I said I thought he had and then they asked if I had voted. I said yes and the lady asked if I voted for Harris and I said no. It was like a switch had flipped and she started lecturing me about Trump and how he was a fascist and that I was no better. Now, I worked iin the past with Dems in Chicago getting out the local vote for City elections and they were very clear that we weren't to insult voters because there's an election every two years so this was puzzling and it makes me think that they're in panic mode.
If I receive a call at work annoying me about voting, I'd hang up before they had a chance to ask me who I voted for. None of their fucking business is who I voted for.
I also used to, in decades past, volunteer for get-out-the-vote. What you describe sounds to me not so much like panic as it does the triggering of the autonomic neurological reflexes of someone deeply immersed in a cult.
I've done those calls in the past too. If the person said they had voted for the opposition I would thank them for voting just the same. I remember getting an email from a campaign that had been endorsed by a Star Trek personality. It came to me because I was an old time Trek fan. I responded to the email that I would not be supporting the candidate, but I thanked them for sending the email and wrote about my experiences volunteering for the other political party. The person must have liked my email because he wrote back. We went back and forth writing nice things about each other.
OK, you've officially weirded me out. The email for this post arrived in my inbox AS THE DOORS' "THE END" WAS PLAYING ON MY PHONE. Sure sign of the apocalypse. I'm out to stock up on canned food and shotguns.
Perhaps I should have said flecks of gold. I was trying to evoke the notion of a form of untraceable hard currency favored by the kind of survivalists who may end up being the only ones to make it through whatever is coming in a relatively intact fashion.
One of the most perfect uses of a song in a movie. Hopefully this is actually "the end" but I fear not given our dishonest media/Democrat propaganda arm. I still can't believe they tried (succeeded?) to twist Trump's accusation that Cheney would feel differently about war if she had to fight them to "he wants to see her in front of a firing squad." It takes a special level of mental illness to reach that and believe that but many do. Greenwald did a great segment on it. I posted elsewhere that this point made by Trump on the Warhawks goes back to Vietnam. GG used Bob Dylan as example, but I think the best is Roger Waters "the bravery of being out of range." And I said, no, just because I have heard this song does not mean I am an antisemite (such is the level of discourse that I need to point this out). The Cheney's have long had the benefit of being out of range (though Dick's friend Harry Whittington wasn't). I still can't believe the least popular VP (Harris) is touting the endorsement of the previous least favorite VP (and his demented daughter as well).
No one cares about "anti-Semite" accusations anymore the you know whos cried wolf one too many times, don't sweat and keep listening to Roger and Floyd.
The good news is that the LIE is in such total collapse the war zone and the warlocks and witches who populate it can no longer hide. Either result. They lose.
Hoping to catch your livestream tonight. In the meantime, I wrote this up the other night. Haven't put it up on my Substack at this time, but here it is for everyone at Racket.
==================
When I first registered to vote, I registered as a Democrat. At the time, my thought process was I could track Democratic candidates while I might ask my parents about Republican candidates (they were both Republicans) and get an idea about who to support. Truth be told, though, I never really had an allegiance to any party.
The first Presidential election I voted in was 1992. While I found Ross Perot intriguing, I had questions about his decision to withdraw from the race, then re-enter, and wound up voting for Bill Clinton.
I didn't vote in 1996 because I forgot to do so. In 2000, I didn't follow things closely and voted for George W. Bush. In 2004, I found myself not liking either candidate and voted for Ralph Nader. And in 2008, I was impressed with Barack Obama and happily voted for him.
I then saw what happened under Obama and was disappointed. I also came to the conclusion that I really wasn't the type of person who wanted to be a political party member. Therefore, when I had to update my voter registration, I registered as an independent.
In 2012 and 2016, I voted for Gary Johnson for President. In 2020, I didn't cast a vote for President because I wasn't enthused about any of the candidates, though I did vote down ballot.
Now, in 2024, I cast my vote for Donald Trump. Allow me to explain why.
Simply put, while I can't say for certain what I will get with Trump in terms of policy, I know exactly what I'm going to get from Kamala Harris, both in terms of policy and in terms of her ability to actually make decisions.
When it comes to policy, I can see what's coming with Harris: More forever wars, more reckless spending, more immigration with no reform in sight, more of the censorship industrial complex, more placating corporate America, and more ideological nonsense about race relations and biological sex.
As far as making decisions go, I can already see that Harris is going to let the bureaucrats run the show like they've been doing the past four years, all while going after average Americans who might say stupid things, but that doesn't make that a crime.
I keep hearing people say that Trump will weaponize the system against his critics, but if he had wanted to do that, he would have done so during his first time. Meanwhile, look at the past four years to see who is in charge and who is weaponizing the system.
Back to Harris: The woman cannot answer the simplest of questions in which people understand exactly what she means. Compare Harris to Hillary Clinton and Stacey Abrams. There are plenty of things Clinton and Abrams say that I don't agree with, even things I think are ridiculous, but they are both able to answer simple questions, in ways in which people know what they support or believe. You don't get that with Harris.
The reality is that Harris failed to get any traction in the 2020 Presidential primaries, to the point she pulled out before the Iowa caucus even took place. Then we watched as Democrats and their apologists in the media denied that there was anything wrong with Joe Biden, until they could no longer deny it, at which point they made Harris the nominee.
After having watched Harris stumble in trying to offer simple explanations for where she stands on the issues or how she differs from Biden, I turned my attentions to Trump and listened to him more carefully. There are still things he said that I don't like, but I see him doing more to build a coalition of sorts.
I listened more to JD Vance, his vice presidential pick, and found him to be insightful. I don't agree with everything he says but, in Vance, I see someone who will listen to them, empathize with them and push for changes that will benefit all Americans, not just a select few.
I applaud Trump for bringing Tulsi Gabbard into the fold. I strongly support Gabbard's foreign policy stance, in which she supports noninterventionism and wants to seek peaceful resolution as much as possible.
I have become more intrigued by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., even as I'm skeptical about his observations regarding vaccines and autism. I do not believe vaccines cause autism and that people backing the claim are falling into the "correlation equals causation" trap.
With that said, I don't dispute that there are people who have experienced real negative side effects from vaccines and we need to know more about why. That way, we can do a better job of advising people about vaccines, rather than treating them as "one size fits all" and, when it comes to risk, declaring "nothing to see here." And, yes, it is possible to inform people about risks without declaring that all vaccines are dangerous with no benefit at all.
Second, I do believe RFK Jr. is onto something regarding the food we eat. I do question whether we should have advised people to eat less meat, eggs and dairy products and eat more grains, particularly when it comes to cereal. It's also time to ask whether or not switching from beef tallow to vegetable oil for most cooking was a wise decision.
I'm also hopeful that Vivek Ramaswamy will get a position in Trump's Cabinet, should Trump win. I think Ramaswamy does a great job presenting his cases. Also, his willingness to listen to anyone, even if he disagrees with their position, is exactly what I want to see.
I've also seen Trump's willingness to listen to people of all backgrounds and let them have their say. I was impressed by his willingness to let a group of Muslim voters speak at a rally in Michigan. Meanwhile, Harris is lecturing pro-Palestine supporters about how "I am talking here" like a scolding mother instead of saying something more diplomatic like "I understand your concern, but please hear me out."
I am skeptical that I will see a lot of changes under Trump but I am certain that we won't see anything change at all under Harris. And the reality is this: Some things need to change because the establishment has fooled around long enough.
With Harris, I know what I'll get and I don't like any of it. Therefore, I'll take my chances with Trump. He wasn't that bad the last time he served, even if I didn't care for the way he played politics. I may not be certain what Trump will do this time around but better to chance that than to stick with the status quo that we will get with Harris.
(By the way, for anyone asking if I registered as a Republican, I did not. I remain registered as an independent and I plan to keep it that way. I did not vote in the primaries and I accept that, but I have voted in the general election via early voting.)
"As far as making decisions go, I can already see that Harris is going to let the bureaucrats run the show like they've been doing the past four years, all while going after average Americans who might say stupid things, but that doesn't make that a crime."
It's always bothered me that people treat political parties like a religion or hometown baseball team. It's even less of a commitment than a two-year cell phone plan. When I lived in Wyoming, I would register to vote in whatever primary seemed the most important (usually republican), and on the way out of the polling place, I could switch back to independent.
'Simply put, while I can't say for certain what I will get with Trump in terms of policy, I know exactly what I'm going to get from Kamala Harris'
That's exactly my thinking, and you don't even mention the First Amendment issue.
Total agreement Bob! Welcome to the world of Independent! It sucks not to be able to vote in primaries, but at least I can look myself in the eye and know I'm my own person!!
And as for the whole push for whatever the diet of the week is- yes, "the science" tells us what we need to be eating based on who is buttering their bread!!
A public confession that you voted for Gary Johnson---not once but twice---for president, is just short of revealing that you sometimes hit on teenagers at bowling alleys because you aren't enthused about any of the other candidates...
I was only peripherally aware of the squirrel fuss until reading up on it this morning. Now I'm het up. You don't mess with the animals.
I hope you guys throw Peanut into the mix tonight. It's a perfect parallel with the bats-in-her-belfry NYT snowflake that you wrote about in August. Apparently, progressives don't have the wherewithal to cope with small mammals. Meanwhile, Walter has a bear in his house and takes it in stride.
"Apocalypse Now" came out during my senior year of high school at the same time we were reading "The Heart of Darkness" in English class. Our teacher dismissed the movie as a second rate ripoff and misinterpretation of Conrad, or words to that effect. She was also, and rightly so, miffed that Coppola makes no mention of Conrad or the novella anywhere in the movie's credits. All that being said, the movie does stand on its own as a work of art and commentary.
Alas, if I have to drag my 80 year old body through another four years of the Party of the Ku Klux Klan insisting that I’m the Nazi I think I’ll just let my hearing aid batteries die and go back to reading books. Walter and Matt, you two have one of the three podcasts I think are worth paying for so keep it up and I’ll charge up the batteries as needed to not miss a session of ATW.
🤣😂”I let my hearing aid batteries die”. 😂🤣Great strategy, I may employ it as well.
We’re going camping. Somehow everything just drops away.
While you're out there, find out if the squirrels are ready to rise up against the machine in revenge for the execution of Peanut...
A squirrel uprising could serve as the functional equivalent of the rousing of the ents in The Two Towers to storm and utterly demolish Saruman's stronghold.
I’m sure the squirrels are capable. They have eaten and mauled my wood deck railings. Eaten through a heavy plastic container to get to the seed. An army could be pretty scary.
I used to walk around Central Park with a bagful of peanuts and hand feed them.
Never underestimate the Mouse Nations ability to survive. :)
Perhaps The Great Reset will turn out the be a reprise of the moment when the rodents overtook the dinosaurs. With us in the role of the dinosaurs. They'll get another shot at evolving again in hopes they do it better the second time around.
Or the squirrel equivalent of Hitchcock's "The Birds"! I'm on their side, FWIW.
It's already happening:
https://babylonbee.com/news/radicalized-squirrels-in-maga-hats-begin-uprising
I’ll keep my eyes open. Maybe we can have a meeting, but I’ll have to make it clear that I’m on their side. Lol. 👍🏻 🐿️🐿️ 🐿️
Which are the other two?
I also wondered!
Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan and Lex Fridman.
Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan and Lex Fridman.

Post-election? 'Wah-wah, we shit the bed again.'
What? Could you repeat that?
It may not be just four...
Good man.
Nothing wrong with recycling Revolutionary Road.
I’ll watch. I should just go to bed, but I like you guys too much to miss your commentary. I really love your book chats too.
For what it's worth, I live in Michigan and I received a call at work on Friday from a Dem organization that's getting out the vote. The guy they wanted wasn't in but they asked me if he'd voted and I said I thought he had and then they asked if I had voted. I said yes and the lady asked if I voted for Harris and I said no. It was like a switch had flipped and she started lecturing me about Trump and how he was a fascist and that I was no better.

Can we make voter harassment a criminal offense ?
I also used to, in decades past, volunteer for get-out-the-vote. What you describe sounds to me not so much like panic as it does the triggering of the autonomic neurological reflexes of someone deeply immersed in a cult.
Autonomic neurological reflexes of someone deeply immersed in a cult. AKA TDS.
Nope - you're either Hitler, or you're not. - Partisan Dems have either turned into people like you, or into pricks. Noticed?
Is there an equivalent to: physician, fuck thyself.
I've done those calls in the past too. If the person said they had voted for the opposition I would thank them for voting just the same. I remember getting an email from a campaign that had been endorsed by a Star Trek personality. It came to me because I was an old time Trek fan.

Or as Oscar Wilde said “The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last”
I had to look that up to verify before I steal it. Awesome.
Although I hope Oscar does not get his wish.
Very prudent of you. Before you steal something, make sure to verify its provenance.
And verify the accuracy of the quote.
And find an honest fence!
Also Gene Wilde…r, as Willy Wonka. 😎
Thank you! And thanks to Matt and Walter for listening to Rachel Limbaugh so we don't have to.
Rachel Limbaugh, that's a fitting summation of her brand.
OK, you've officially weirded me out. The email for this post arrived in my inbox AS THE DOORS' "THE END" WAS PLAYING ON MY PHONE. Sure sign of the apocalypse. I'm out to stock up on canned food and shotguns.
"Kill...kill...kill..."
Why not let the store deliver it? I'm sure they'll send an errand boy at some point to collect a bill...
Then they'll know where I live.
Will you pay for your purchases with gold bullion?
If I were the type who had gold bullion lying around, I wouldn't be worried about everything.
Perhaps I should have said flecks of gold. I was trying to evoke the notion of a form of untraceable hard currency favored by the kind of survivalists who may end up being the only ones to make it through whatever is coming in a relatively intact fashion.
:)
Whoa!
That is very creepy!

That's exactly my thinking, and you don't even mention the First Amendment issue.
The censorship industrial complex remark is about the First Amendment. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
Ah! Totally my bad for not reading carefully enough :)
It's like being a forever Dallas Cowboys fan.
Total agreement Bob! Welcome to the world of Independent! It sucks not to be able to vote in primaries, but at least I can look myself in the eye and know I'm my own person!!
And as for the whole push for whatever the diet of the week is- yes, "the science" tells us what we need to be eating based on who is buttering their bread!!
A public confession that you voted for Gary Johnson---not once but twice---for president, is just short of revealing that you sometimes hit on teenagers at bowling alleys because you aren't enthused about any of the other candidates...
I was only peripherally aware of the squirrel fuss until reading up on it this morning. Now I'm het up. You don't mess with the animals.
I hope you guys throw Peanut into the mix tonight. It's a perfect parallel with the bats-in-her-belfry NYT snowflake that you wrote about in August. Apparently, progressives don't have the wherewithal to cope with small mammals. Meanwhile, Walter has a bear in his house and takes it in stride.
https://www.racket.news/p/bat-scares-egghead-couple-trump-blamed
Knowing what Walter had to say on TAFKA Twitter, I'm sure they'll talk about Peanut -- and Fred the raccoon, too.
TAFKA?
The App Formerly Known As Twitter.
Oh, Xwitter. Got it.
Is that a cross between Twitter and Kafka?
It's a reference to when the singer Prince changed his name to a symbol and became known as The Artist Formerly Known As Prince.
I thought it was cute to use TAFKA for Twitter because the first A can stand for app.
😂
That was funny - about Walter.
It better be a 60/40 win or the inmates will be beating their cups on the bars until doomsday.
The end of a beginning or the beginning of the end . . . .
Ooops. Didn't see yours before I posted mine.
You got there first.
Youtube has blocked your video from playing. Can you post it here?
The blue bus is calling us......
NICE!
The election is now.
The FBI and CIA are positioning for the steal as you read this.
It's why internal polls show Trump winning big and Dims in despair, but media polls show a tie.
Be ready.
Here's how you align yourself ... most people in the National Guard are allies. Most people who work in a federal building are the enemy.
Ignore polls. Even Nate Silver is saying they look really sketchy this year.
Dey all stink!
Four conspiracy theories in one short post. Possibly a new record for the Racket News threads.
Funny thing about things Dims call "conspiracy theories." They all end up being true.
And if you fear civil war, remember feldpsar is the type you get to kill
Them's pretty big words for a chud named "stink."
It's you that stink, Dim.
Like the giant pile of 💩 that you are.
Die.
Naw.
Shut up glowie-spar, everyone despises you for a reason!

into the Heart of Darkness...
"Apocalypse Now" came out during my senior year of high school at the same time we were reading "The Heart of Darkness" in English class. Our teacher dismissed the movie as a second rate ripoff and misinterpretation of Conrad, or words to that effect. She was also, and rightly so, miffed that Coppola makes no mention of Conrad or the novella anywhere in the movie's credits. All that being said, the movie does stand on its own as a work of art and commentary.
