Tonight's Presidential Election

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 20 minutes ago
*WNU Editor:* The girlfriend and I decided to go out tonight .... to skip the U.S. election coverage. So we drove to a subway station not far from where I live, and from there we made our way to our favourite french restaurant in Old Montreal with the expectation that we would probably be the only ones there. We were right. In a place that is always packed, it was only 1/5 occupied. Naturally .... the service was great, the food and wine was superb .... and we had no idea on what was happening tonight (we left our cell phones at home on purpose). After our meal we then took a walk ... more »

Pack Your Bags: 18 Celebs Who Said They Would Leave If Trump Won

Baxter Dmitry at Your News Wire - 23 minutes ago
Since even before the presidential primaries began, the idea of a Donald Trump presidency made some celebrities threaten they would leave the country if it happened. Here are 18 celebrities who pledged to flee the United States and live in exile in the event of a Trump win. Let’s make them to stick to it! 1. Barbra Streisand “I can’t believe it. I’m either coming to your country if you’ll let me in, or Canada,” the singer told 60 Minutes in an interview in August. Streisand has been a vocal supporter of Clinton’s candidacy, and appeared at a high-profile fundraiser for the candida... more »

There's a weird story about Glenn Beck in the *New Yorker* this week, how watching Michelle Obama's speech mentioning how Trump treats women was a come to Jesus moment for him. We'll have to wait and see how long that lasts. Decency is a fresh palette for Beck, who, at Fox, used to scribble on a chalkboard while launching into conspiratorial rants about looming Weimar-esque hyperinflation, Barack Obama’s ties to radicals with population-cleansing schemes, and a Marxist-Islamist cabal itching to take over America. He once described Clinton as “a stereotypical bitch” and accused Ob... more »

Election Night 2016

jurassicpork at Welcome Back to Pottersville - 3 hours ago
As of 9:15 tonight, this is the way the electoral map looks on the *NY Times*' website and it's pretty typical for a general election. The Republican crook is winning big in the redneck and flyover states while the Democratic crook has won a few wealthy east coast states. Hillary very briefly pulled ahead of Trump by two electoral votes by winning 20 in her native Illinois. Not very ironically, Trump lost in his home state of New York. But as it stands now this minute, Trump's ahead overall 130-97 electoral votes with California's vote-rich 55 still very much in play. It ... more »

This morning at 10:30 I walked down the hill to my polling station and there was a line, first I ever saw there, but that was more because of an illiterate poll worker who was non-functional than because of voter enthusiasm per se. The whole process from arming my home alarm to disarming it took 19 minutes-- and that was a tough walk back up in the hill in the hot sun. It's 85 degrees and sunny, different from how I remember November voting days in NY and San Francisco!

There's one major issue that got very little play during the campaign, as the media was hell-bent on focusing on Trump and bad words. If we all burn, that is on them- and you. But I assure you the press will fry up just like you will at 5,000 degrees. That issue is Syria. Hillary Clinton has committed herself to imposing a "no fly" zone over Syria. As I have pointed out on multiple occasions in this column there are two problems with that commitment. First, the Russians are in th... more »

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 11 hours ago
*Morning Consult*: *Voters Want a Strong Leader More Than Anything Else, Exit Poll Shows* Voters heading to the polls Tuesday are twice as likely to say they want a president who is a “strong leader” than in 2012, according to Morning Consult/POLITICO exit data.

He hammers Comey for the recent, off-and-on coup plotting which started on October 28.

An 8 point drop among likely voters for Hillary Clinton in 5 days ?!?!?! The last day sample is small ... only 850 respondents .... but if this is true it will mean that Hillary Clinton's vote has been collapsing, and she is going to to have a tough night tonight to clinch this.

Iraqis Pray For Hillary Defeat After Obama Leaves Behind “ISIS Mess”

Baxter Dmitry at Your News Wire - 19 hours ago
Just one week after asking Putin for help defeating ISIS, Kurdish forces have begun liberating jihadi held Christian towns in Iraq – and the freed locals are now speaking out against Obama and Clinton. The town of Qaraqosh, home to more than 50,000 Christians, had been under ISIS control for the last two years. But not any more – Kurdish forces backed by Russia have cleaned up “Obama’s mess” and reclaimed the town from the jihadis. Residents who stayed in the town have described how ISIS ordered every Christian citizen to pay a massive tax, convert to Islam or face execution. Thos... more »

They have contributed significantly to Thailand's long history as a nation, from Malay Muslims moving up into central and even northern Thailand over the centuries, bringing their unique form of Islam with them, to Persian Muslims arriving in the 17th century and integrating themselves into business and ruling circles through trade and marriage. Today, Muslims comprise as much as 12% of the Thai population and have become part of the sociocultural and eco... more »
