  2. The reason is we can analyze how bad the agenda polling is all we want, the fact is the majority of the public gets its news from left wing MSM sources.

    And the meme is “Harris gaining” “Harris gaining with key groups” “Harris gaining in swing states”.

  4. According to CNN…the internal polls with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters had Trump @ 60% and Harris @34% with 6% undecided.

    A straw poll prior to Biden’s exit had the IBT favoring Biden at 44% and Trump at 34%.

    The IBT endorsed Biden in 2020 and Hillary in 2016 and of course Obama.

  5. I love Maine. Went up there in August 2021 (Ogunquit). Beautiful!

    Out to breakfast one morning, one customer comes in with an “I’m Vaccinated” hat on. She was shown the booth beside me and my wife and son. I told her “I feel the need to inform you that my wife and I chose to not get the Wuhan Flu vaccine, we have questions about its short-term efficacy as well as its long-term dangers.”

    She requested to be moved. She was told she would have to wait for the next available table, as it was very busy. She agreed.

    Next time I saw her, I was up paying the bill and her party were just ordering. I made sure to let her know “Safety First!”.

    Ok, maybe I am a bit of an instigator.

  13. How it would work: Many automated trucking developers envision the use of transfer hubs, where cargo trailers would be handed off between humans and robots.

    • Autonomous trucks would carry freight on the highway, between the hubs.
    • Human drivers in conventional trucks would then take over on local streets to the final destination.

    What they’re saying: Drivers displaced by autonomous trucks could find work closer to home on short-haul routes, or even in newly created logistics jobs at transfer hubs, AT developers say.

    • But the U-M study found that those jobs would not be sufficient to fully replace long-haul truckers’ earnings.

  72. Grass roots conservatives are those who understand the stark binary choice available in 2024, & are actively putting in the work and time to see the worst of the two is not elected. There is really no “worshipping” involved, just awareness of which choice better reflects their own values. In supporting this choice they remain focused on the ticket and winning, rather than bickering about or weighing the benefits of other preferences who don’t matter anymore. Vance was an acceptable candidate for most of this group, and has only grown in favor and respect with many more by his grounded, common sense, forthright rhetoric. Also, IMO, he will draw in young democrats, independents, and those tired of establishment politicians when votes are finally cast, in greater numbers than most other VP candidates could have done – maybe even becoming the:”closer” in winning VA.
