  1. I am going to avoid news as much as possible today. Do not have a good feeling.

    Instead, looking at Medicare Advantage plans. Costs on the one we have are going up, benefits are going away.

  2. SHIREHOME: I understand avoiding news today, I’m trying to do the same. But, rather than prowling through Advantage plans, wouldn’t just sticking a pencil in your eye be quicker and less painful? ??

  3. Yesterday Joe Rogan had Elon Musk on as his guest discussing the outright lies the Dems have been pedaling. Some are so outrageous as to be reeking of panic. He later announced he was supporting Trump. I would have preferred that he would have done that 2 weeks ago but I wonder if he was waiting till the last minute for Harris to come on his show. When she wouldn’t, he felt free to make his choice public. Considering the size of his audience, this is a plus. How much, who knows.

  4. Welcome to Joe Rogan and the Amish Save America Day!

    There are 92,000 Amish in Pennsylvania. Call it 60,000 of voting age (the Amish have a younger population). This year they are mobilized to vote for Trump.

    Not to mention all the Catholics and Jews who have been alienated by Democrats like Harris.

    Joe Rogan has 14.5 mil audience — 70-80% male with an average age of 24. His endorsement is late, but any listener has been able to suss Rogan’s skepticism of the Harris campaign and the current Democrat Party.

    I’ll be biting my nails later tonight, but I woke up feeling good about the election.

  5. I voted straight Republican in early voting. Plan to watch the news tonight. But I have stopped stressing the way I was a few years ago over politics. Although the promotion of the lies of ” gender ideology” bothers me at a deep level. What they are pushing on children. Why can’t people see it is based on lies ??? It’s a quasi religious cult being promoted to children ! The party that claims to be about science is promoting a kind of godless, mutilation religion. “In God we trust “and the “Ten Commandments” in school has been replaced by ” LGBTQ” and ” DEI”. They were not sweeping away the old values in order to leave an unfilled vacuum.
    At church Sunday, the preacher asked all who wanted to join him for prayer up front for the nation. He has encouraged people to vote. Even all but said he could not support a party pushing for abortion . Admitted neither candidate is perfect. But also keeps reminding people that no matter who wins, God is in control.
    That being said, one need only to read history or the Bible to see that God allows a lot of bad things to happen. The preacher is versed in history. Often brings up history facts in his sermons. Not even forty years old but in some ways is from a different generation with history knowledge. In some ways. Still wears those skinny pants with his sports type coat. Lol.
