Joe Biden will not attend Kamala Harris’ election watch party. “Tonight, the president and First Lady will watch election results in the White House residence with longtime aides and senior White House staff,” a White House official told the Washington Examiner. “The president will receive regular updates on the state of races across the country,” the official added. Biden will not attend Harris election night watch party https://t.co/hUYiQDPEug — Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) November 5, 2024 From the Washington Examiner: Harris is hosting a watch party at her alma mater, Howard University, which is located less than 2 miles from the executive mansion, but her boss will not be among the attendees. The relationship between Biden and Harris has appeared strained throughout the election, with her seeking to distance herself from the administration by promising to “turn the page” and usher in a “new way forward.” Another slogan, “We are not going back,” further cements the image she wants to cast as an agent of change. Yet she still owes her status as vice president to Biden, who chose her for the position in 2020 and who endorsed her to be the Democratic nominee immediately after dropping out.

DEMOCRATS IN DISARRAY! They deserve to be miserable for the next 4 years. pic.twitter.com/UAiadQsb6i — Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) November 5, 2024 Per Daily Caller: While Harris and her team host a watch party at her alma mater, Howard University, Biden will be surrounded by the first lady and longtime officials and aides, a White House official told NBC News. The president has no public events planned after he spent Saturday doing one final campaign event in Pennsylvania. In the final weeks of the campaign, the Harris campaign sidelined a Biden eager to help them, three people familiar with the dynamic told Axios. Every time Biden’s team asked to hit the campaign trail aside the vice president, they were hit with the same message, “we’ll get back to you,” the sources told the outlet. The campaign’s hesitancy came from believing that the president is a liability politically, Axios reported. “He’s a reminder of the last four years, not the new way forward,” a source familiar with the situation told Axios. After Axios’ report that Biden was being cast to the side by the Harris campaign, the president ignited a firestorm during Harris’ closing arguments. Sitting just about a thousand feet from Harris’ rally on the Ellipse, Biden called Trump supporters “garbage” while on a get-out-the-vote with Voto Latino.

You need to go out and vote today. This election is just too important. You need to vote because there are serious matters at stake, as I discussed yesterday. But there is a broader question at stake today in this election: whether we are a nation that wants to be dynamic, or whether we want to slide into senescence. Are we a nation that wants an economy of innovation, or one of redistribution and stagnation? Are we a nation that wants a foreign policy of strength, with powerful allies and our enemies in retreat? Or are we a nation that wants to abandon the world stage, handing power to our enemies as the light dies? Are we a nation that wants to build on the roots of family and community, or one that wants to trade the institutions that make life worth living in favor of top-down dictation from a self-appointed elite who believe that their untried values ought to supplant time-tested virtues? Most of all, you need to vote because you owe it to both your ancestors and your progeny to do so. See, here’s the thing: Democracy, in the general sense, is totally unnatural. The earliest beginnings of democracy were in ancient Athens, but of course, the vote was heavily restricted; the same was true in ancient Rome. Modern democracy has its roots in Magna Carta, in the Estates General of France — but didn’t reach full fruition in the way we think of democracy until the Glorious Revolution of 1688. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show It takes centuries to inculcate the values of democracy, and the rights of the people to be free of arbitrary government — which is what lies at the heart of Western democracy. We are not subjects. We are citizens. We are citizens with rights and duties. We build social fabric together in order to share those duties and to enable the functioning of those rights. And governments are instituted by men in order to protect those rights and to enshrine those duties. That is what lies at the heart of the American experiment. That is why we have checks and balances too, why we are small-R republicans and not just pure democrats. The founders, you see, were cautious about democracy: They knew its promises and its perils. That’s why the single most important paragraph ever written on the American system can be found in Federalist 51, by James Madison, framer of the Constitution: But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controuls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to controul the governed; and in the next place, oblige it to controul itself. A dependence on the people is no doubt the primary controul on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions. The founders instituted those checks and balances. But, Madison is right in the end: The primary control on the government is a dependence on the judgment of the people. And that is the thing we must agree upon in order for democracy to work. This struck me last week when I was standing in line with my wife to vote. People of every age and race were in that line, all agreeing to a common principle: that we would abide by the collective decision about who would represent us, for president, for Congress, for the Senate. That we shared a nation together, and that if we lost, we would understand that next time we might win. That we were willing to delegate some of the highest-stake decisions in life to a system that values the opinions of our fellow citizens. See, democracy only works when both sides are invested in the bargain. If one side always believed they would lose, they wouldn’t buy in: They’d revolt. That’s when democracy breaks down. Jefferson says in the Declaration that government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. That consent can only continue if we all believe enough in one another, and in our system. That system is fraying, for certain. For a thousand reasons that we all know. But it’s not breaking down today. We’re all going to the polls. Thanks to the checks and balances of the framers — who understood both the value and the dangers of democracy — we can rest assured that if the other person wins, yes, things will get worse, but we will survive. This will not be the last election. WATCH: Election Night 2024 on DailyWire+ With that said, this vote matters more than most. While this won’t be the last election, it is an inflection point. We can continue down a path of polarizing the country by race, sex, and identity — or we can reverse that process. We can continue to tear apart the country by indicting each other as oppressors and pretending our own oppression — or we can seize the future together. We can continue to retreat from the world — or we can remember that America remains the last, best hope of mankind. And so today, you should vote. You should vote because you can — and because that is an immense privilege, earned by the blood of others and still denied to most of humanity today as we speak. And you should vote because you should: because your vote will certainly matter.

The vast majority of each page on the voters’ ballots in Fairfax County, Virginia, is written in foreign languages, making it difficult to locate the names of candidates. Every line on the ballot appears in three different languages besides English. The foreign languages are intended to make it easy for people who are American citizens, but do not speak English at all, to participate in America’s election process. But the result is a long and unwieldy ballot that is difficult for Americans to decipher. The candidate’s name doesn’t even appear until seven lines below the bubble voters are supposed to fill in for that candidate. In 2017, Fairfax County, which houses many federal bureaucrats and overwhelmingly votes Democrat, said it would print all ballots with four languages, including Spanish, Vietnamese, and Korean. The federal government says that the Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended in 2006, requires ballots to be printed in foreign languages where there are many foreigners with less than a fifth-grade education. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “Section 203 mandates that a state or political subdivision must provide language assistance to voters if more than five (5) percent of voting-age citizens are members of a single-language minority group and do not ‘speak or understand English adequately enough to participate in the electoral process,’ and if the rate of those citizens who have not completed the fifth grade is higher than the national rate of voting-age citizens who have not completed the fifth grade,” the Census Bureau said in 2021. The same also applies if there are more than 10,000 people, but they make up less than 5%. The Census Bureau determines which jurisdictions meet this criteria. The federal government did not require Fairfax to print in Korean, but it said it was adding the language because its population was close to the level that would trigger it. That requirement was supposed to have been temporary and to have expired decades ago, but Congress has repeatedly extended the temporary provisions — with the 2006 amendment extending the language requirement to 2032. Fairfax’s ballots also list the bubble next to the presidential candidate’s party, not name — a style that seems to encourage party-line voting and makes it difficult to even figure out which bubble is for which candidate. Donald Trump’s name, for example, appears seven lines of text below the bubble, amidst a sea of foreign characters. Virginia’s Republican nominee for Senate, military veteran Hung Cao, came to the U.S. as a refugee from communist Vietnam.

A woman 'humming' sound is heard near an old, weathered headstone with a large cross etched into the marble. Only the cross was glowing a bright, vivid blue, like a neon bulb.I received the following account:"When I was a U.S. Marine, I used to have the graveyard patrol shift at the Beirut Bombing Memorial at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Part of the memorial is dedicated to a veteran's cemetery. Oddly enough I never got freaked out being completely alone in a remote cemetery, in the middle of the night, surrounded by dense woods on all sides. It was actually kind of peaceful, to be honest.However, one night I was patrolling near the perimeter fence where some of the oldest headstones are when I heard the sound of a woman humming. I followed the sound and noticed a light glowing through the vines and brush of a large tree. As I approached, I could literally feel my hair beginning to lift as if there was an electric current in the air.I pushed aside the brush and what I saw nearly took my breath away. It was an old, weathered headstone with a large cross etched into the marble. Only the cross was glowing a bright, vivid blue, like a neon bulb. The humming was also suddenly much louder and had a weird plurality to it like it was coming from hundreds of voices at once.Needless to say, I freaked out. I screamed like a scared little girl and sprinted back to the parking lot. I radioed the guard who was supposed to relieve me and forced him to come early, then spent the rest of my shift in the cab of his truck. I don't think he believed me, but he stayed in his truck and didn't go out on patrol until the sun was fully up.A few days later, I worked up the nerve to return to the grave (during the day, of course). As I suspected, in the light of day it was a completely mundane headstone. There was no name, only the aforementioned cross. I ran my hands over the stone and checked to see if maybe there was some sort of hidden light source or solar panel, but no, it was just plain, solid, unremarkable stone. The humming was gone, too.I eventually returned to my normal shift, but never again experienced anything out of the ordinary. I never learned whose grave that was, either, but I find myself thinking about it from time to time. It certainly sounds absurd when I say it out loud, and I suppose it could have been a hallucination or a trick of my tired brain, but I don't believe it was. I think it was real; a ghost or spirit of some sort, but I don't think it was malevolent at all.**********CHICAGO MOTHMAN - 'UNSOLVED MYSTERIES' VIEWER REPORTS! | LIVE CHAT | Q & A (EYEWITNESS SUBMISSIONS)PHANTOMS & MONSTERS VIDEO LIBRARYPOLL: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

A reader contacted me and described an encounter that he had as a child with a short Reptilian humanoid. Now, in the same house, his son is seeing another unknown humanoid.I received the following account:"Dear Mr. Strickler. I will be upfront and honest with you. I am one of those who want to believe. However, I am also one of those who is very skeptical. I have read the books of Eric Von D, Robert Bauval, and others. Mainstream media has tickled my interest in DaVinci and the Free Masons. For over 15 years or so (now in my early 30s) I have always had a love of Mayan, Inca, and ancient Egyptian societies. Maybe 2-3 years or so ago while watching something on the History Channel, I was browsing the internet and came across your blog. I have followed on and off since then, and your posts of the little lizard man and your posts of the "Red Man", kind of hit home for me. I felt that if this person could come forward then I know I am not alone and they may also know that they are not alone in having an experience.I was born and raised in NE Ohio. I had a normal upbringing (or what some would call). Parents are still married, went to church on Sundays, had a dog, picket fence, all those things. I did a little marijuana in high school, I rarely drink, and there is only one reported case of a mental illness in my family.""When I was 12-13 years old, I remember having a very vivid dream where I was sitting in my living room watching TV. While watching TV (in my dream I was viewing myself in 3rd person) something made me want to look out through the dining room and out through the large sliding glass door into the backyard. When I turned my head, it was completely dark outside, and then in almost a comedic way of film, this giant moon slid up from below the horizon (like from the 9 to 12 position on a clock). The moon was enormous, almost filling the sky, and was brilliantly white. As I sit dumbfounded in my dream staring out the back window, something pulls my legs out from under me while I'm sitting on them on the floor. This startled me but while in my dream I was still staring at the moon this voice from what I can only assume was in my head said, "It's almost over."This frightened me horribly. So much so that I woke up hot and sweaty only to find my bedroom door partially open with a small, dark figure closing the door and saying without moving his mouth "Don't tell."I don't recall really any of the small humanoid's features. I just recall him being about 3 feet tall and seeing the figure darker than gray complexion and nothing moved on its face when I heard it speak. Even to this day, this incident is one of the most vivid memories that I have. Seeing your photo of the reptile man was nearly like pulling out a photo of my head from that past memory.I mentioned nothing of this occurrence until just a few years ago to a close friend. I never even told my wife.Well, I went off to college, came back home, got married, had a couple of kids, and just over a year ago bought my parents' house. On and off since the encounter/dream/incident (whatever you would like to call it because I don't) I get this feeling like I'm being observed. Not the kind of being watched where you are sitting up at night unable to sleep and you feel like someone is watching you through the window. More like something is waiting for me as I walk into rooms and sit in the car with me while I drive to work. This was only in small increments and I never felt it to be constant. But since moving back home, I am feeling it more so.My son is the fun age of 5 and recently started talking about some guy he met here at home named 'Kyle Foker.' He tells my wife and I that he has seen him all over the house. Yes, he is a child, with an imagination. But while giving him the 20 questions about his new friend I am rattling my brain on what TV show/commercial/movie he could have come up with this, and so far have come up with nothing.While that was going on I was in the kitchen just a week or so ago talking to my mom and for some reason, I felt compelled to look the other way and I saw a dark figure. This figure that I saw had an upside-down triangle for a torso and a rectangular block for a head. When I turned to look I could tell that it looked at me because while my brain was trying to comprehend what I just had seen, I could see that the blockhead sort of rotated and proceeded to take an immediate left and zip its way through my stairs that go up to our bedrooms.From everything that I know, no one has died on this property. (My grandfather who lived with my parents and me, at my current location, for a few years from the time I was six until I was in high school became ill with Alzheimer's and later passed away having a complication from a stroke at a hospice center). But I am afraid partially for my sanity but more for my family. Although no one has been hurt in any way, I can't help to think like a father/husband and want to protect my family from any possible threat. But my issue here is that what the hell am I dealing with? Possible alien thing, spirit, mental illness, or all of the above? Am I seeing one thing and my son is seeing something else?"
