I don't know about you but I am nervous about what Tuesday's election results will be. I voted RED all the way. I'm not happy with the way everything is going right now but I know, if BLUE wins, things will be MUCH worse.

IF THE DEMS TAKE CONTROL THIS ELECTION: Immediate consensus bills in the first 100 hours -Hakeem Jeffries plans to move quickly: Reinstate expired Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits/subsidies. Reverse Medicaid cuts from the Republican “One Big Beautiful Bill,” including new work requirements. End or challenge Trump’s tariffs and restore congressional authority over trade policy. Direct Trump to end the war in Iran or obtain congressional authorization (via war powers resolutions). Broader Affordability Agenda (first 100 days and beyond) Jeffries established five bipartisan-style working groups (each co-led by a progressive and a moderate) focused on: Healthcare, Housing, Groceries and goods, Gas, utilities, and energy, Caregiving Additional items discussed for the first 100 days or early in a majority: Expand the low-income housing tax credit. Expand the child tax credit and earned-income tax credit. Raise the minimum wage. Ban congressional stock trading. Increase accountability measures for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — not abolish it as a leadership position. Extensive oversight and investigations of the Trump administration (corruption focus); impeachment has been described as “neither on nor off the table.”

I scrolled through my late yesterday's feed and saw only one reference to this passing. I wasn't a Star Trek fan past Spock's wedding. Rest in peace. nypost.com/2026/10/29/entert…

This is something. Wow.
This machinery is amazing and very powerful. This video shows you things that can happen when you’re around big powerful machines.

Netanyahu says right-wing wins a 'decisive' victory. Of course he would say that. No majority - new vote if that's the rule. Gotta follow the rules, right? Israel president urges no new vote; Netanyahu bloc leads but no majority aje.news/smbodj

He beheads a figure in a statue. Was he HIGH? Was it a dare? He was granted DACA under Obama; renewed under Biden. ICE says if he's released, he's going to jail as he should: HE'S ILLEGAL! zerohedge.com/political/mexi…

I can't figure out WHY the Senate won't change the clocks. It works in so many states and people aren't dropping dead. Kids aren't having problems at bus stops...It would be great if I didn't have to ask every 6 months 'WHEN DO WE CHANGE THE CLOCKS??"
🚨🚨🚨Daylight Savings Time was created during World War I to give farmers and workers more daylight to work. The government kept it when they discovered it causes heart attacks and strokes in the elderly, and during the time change people had more car accidents, falls and injuries. Our bodies have an internal clock that is damaged during every clock change. Today we have universal electricity and lights. We have no need for DST anymore. It’s time to stop the madness! End DST clock changes forever!! ⏰ ⏰ ⏰
