In physics, the difference between redshift and blueshift is a measurement of the increase or decrease of light. The chart below includes states with sufficient 2024 polling data to get an average polling result. This average is then compared against the actual 2020 results to measure how many states have shifted to the red (toward Trump) and how many states are happy with Biden’s performance and have shifted further to the blue. But as you can see below, there are no states that have moved further toward Biden.

Just to be clear, this was my post, not Bitter’s. No polling on a Saturday, so I thought some might find this chart interesting.

I think this chart is just screaming the reality that voters in every state are saying that they are not better off than they were 4 years ago. Not in Minnesota, not in Florida, not in California or anywhere.
I would also point out that the bulk of this 2024 polling is being done by pollsters that historically have been no friends of the GOP. Siena/NY Times, SSRS/CNN, FoxNews, Redfield and Wilton, Morning Consult/Bloomberg, and Emerson own the lion’s share of polling thus far.

The Russian concert killings continues to evolve in speculation of who is behind it.
First there was Victoria Nuland’s departure comments about Ukraine going into asymmetrical warfare, with Putin experiencing some “nasty” events in the future.
Then there were the US warnings regarding a possible Isis attack on a concert hall in Russia, followed up by Isis laying claim to the attack.
A more current possibility surrounds the capture of men fleeing to an open window portion of the Ukrainian border. The men were European and not Middle Eastern, and were said to be paid mercenaries. Apparently Ukrainian cells have already been identified as creating smaller attacks inside of Russia – examples of Nuland’s asymmetrical warfare she hoped for and predicted more to occur, especially if the funding package was approved.
Unfortunately, the Russian carnage might just be a trailer to a larger movie that could happen right here in the US – having unvetted trespassers forming cells throughout the country, just waiting to be activated. We have ignored, even welcomed, violations in our own national security defenses, while being obsessed in becoming a proxy defender of an overseas border invasion.

Your only source for Russian propaganda, Putin and the Russian State Media?
Mercenaries are paid soldiers who will fight for money, a soldier of fortune so to speak.

Terrorists commit mass murders for a cause, not for money.

“Ukraine has never resorted to the use of terrorist methods,” he posted on X. “Everything in this war will be decided only on the battlefield.”
Ukraine’s foreign ministry accused Moscow of using the attack to try to stoke fervor for its war efforts.
“We consider such accusations to be a planned provocation by the Kremlin to further fuel anti-Ukrainian hysteria in Russian society, create conditions for increased mobilization of Russian citizens to participate in the criminal aggression against our country and discredit Ukraine in the eyes of the international community,” the ministry said in a statement.”

When I think of this war that Putin started, I cannot help but think of the color red being associated with Russia and the old USSR flag, against Revelation 6:3-4, “When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, ‘Come!’ And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.”
Putin has certainly taken peace from that region of the world. And if we give Biden another four years, it may easily expand to the entire earth in WWIII.

55 Senators, even 53, is important not only to provide a cushion for 2026, but to also allow Collins and Murk free votes to part ways from the party line, and to also prevent them from holding up good legislation when 51 are already onboard.

Jan don’t waste your time in this blog. They believe they are always right and anyone who dares questions their beliefs are wrong and they will paint you as an evil minded person who loves America’s enemies. Just look at the names they call you and Tina. I’m pretty sure Bitter and Jason would not talk to women like that in public; at least not in front of their wives.

Bitter calls Tina “Putina,” probably because Tina has nicknames she uses for everyone else. But wow, I didn’t know that I was supposed to be about the task of condemning everyone who posts on here whenever I see them sin against someone else.
So I guess I will start with you, MichiganGuy, and call you out for your slander of bitter and jason saying, “they will paint you as an evil minded person.” They haven’t said that Jan and Tina are minded toward evil, only that they are naive in their support of Putin despite his evil actions, and that they are inexplicably indifferent toward the Ukranian victims.
I haven’t always agreed with Bitter and Jason. And that’s okay. But I can understand the frustration they have in their conversations with Tina and Jan when they won’t answer questions like who started this war? and who invaded? and who is responsible for all the death? and so on.
I do appreciate the contributions Tina and Jan make when it comes to polling, and things going on here, even though I think they are are off base when it comes to the actions of Putin.
