    Pray hard for President Trump.  He needs all the help he can get.  It isn't over yet.  Neither candidate is at 270.

    We have been doing since Reagan made it OK for Republicans to spend like drunken sailors.m

    We do it when we when we justify spending trillions of non-existent dollars pretending we are saving a couple of hundred thousand lives.


    Yesterday is merely the ongoing plan to get ours now without regard to the future. Regardless of who wins, our country is in trouble.

    Freedom and a submissive populace cannot co-exist.

    It's a representative government.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    That is quite possibly the most depressing post I've read in all the time I've been here.

    Not looking good. Biden ahead by 2%.

    Mark C pointed out that if Biden wins MI, WI, NV, (which looks likely) that puts him exactly at 270 Electoral Votes, regardless if Trump wins PA, GA, NC.

    Well, I've been saying it for a long time, and it's been true for much longer than I have been saying it.

    NOTHING has been decided yet. They are saying that it will days before we know. Hell North Carolina has nine days to count votes.

    The math is simply not working/in our favor. We are about to get royally shafted.

    I hope I am wrong, but it does not look that way. When you look at what States are left out there, and the way things are trending, it looks very bleak. If Biden takes WI, MI, NV (and it appears he will) he will hit 270. It does not matter if Trump takes GA, PA, NC, AK, ME.

    I would Love to be proven wrong. (And hope I am.)

    It would help a lot to split California into two or three states and New York into two to diminish the power of (D) ran cities and their insanity.  What ever happens the ending is we will have a duly elected POTUS in January or we will tear this nation asunder.

    Glen Beck reported for months that the Dems had a plan to steal the election.  Right now he looks right.  Heard on Rush that
    Wisconsin has counted more votes than it has registered voters.  ABC put Arizona back in play.

    I would LOVE to be wrong, but it looks like we are about to get royally screwed.

    Unfortunately, the math at this point is pretty plain. It is going to be super close, but not in our favor.

    The next four years are going to get pretty dicey.

    So far, the only ray of sunshine that I see is the Republicans maintained a majority in the Senate. If Biden does win, that should prevent Supreme Court packing, at least for a while!!!!!!!!!!

    the average person did NOT do this, if you look at the overal map 70-75 percent of country is red, and even the individual state maps that show county votes are 70-75 percent red, I think it was nevada only had 4-5 counties blue but they were the big city counties, rest of state was red, same with country most of the rural USA is red, these big city states, NY, Cal, ect are blue, these last 5 holdout states where the counting is not complete I feel are the ones being/trying to be the ones who find enough to turn blue...... the population in the big cities not only run the states, but now the country,  sad, very sad, I prayed I would never see this day

     It's going to be sinking faster if my crystal ball is right. Tax the rich and feed the poor. And the poor are growing exponentially here in America when the carbon Tax gets enacted for the good of the country. Just watch! The Taxes and fees that are coming is going to be astronomical for the working peons soon.

    Exactly. Biden is dead in the water. Ship at sea with no port.  Any law they try and pass or anything that affects the constitution..well the supreme court will derail it.

    Well I want to see those folks that voted for Biden faces when their paycheck is less when they come home from work. He is raising taxes... Got to spend that money for the poor folk .  And that stimulus money they been arguing about. Well Mitch Mc. will hold it up longer now just to show those morons he is still in charge and will be after the new presidento takes charge

    Lots and lots of voters, on both sides, had an intense dislike for Hillary. I cannot name a single person who I would not have voted for ahead of Hillary.  That would have included a third term for Obama! Had the Democrats run Biden in 2016, I think that Joe would have won over Trump far easier than he may manage do in 2020. Once again, the Democrats overestimated their prospects. We saw that first hand with their expectation of a "Blue Wave" sweeping through the House and pushing aside several Republican senators. That didn't happen. The Republicans will retain the senate, and closed to gap in the House; not enough for a majority, but enough to possibly carry some influence (they had none before). 

    I think that Nancy Pelosi may be in danger of losing the Speakership. Many of the few reaming middle of the road Democrats bought into Nancy's claim that following the elections, the new progressives, which are actually ultra liberal groups like BLM and Antifa, were going to become a dominant force in the House. She was wrong. 

    No matter how the presidential election finally turns out, we're not in too bad of shape. With control of the Senate, we can block all of Biden's court nominations, and obstruct much of his agenda. The media will constantly cry foul, but that's politics. In any case, the upcoming two years should be interesting.

    The oil and gas industry has lost more than 100,000 jobs this year


    More than one million oilfield service jobs are likely to be cut this year in the wake of the spreading coronavirus and historic oil price crash, according to an analysis published today by the research firm Rystad Energy.
