U.S. SENATE MT 2024:

From an Emerson College Polling press release…

A new Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey of Montana voters finds 50% of voters support Republican Tim Sheehy and 46% support incumbent Democrat Jon Tester in the election for US Senate. Three percent are undecided, while 2% support third-party candidates. When undecided voters are accounted for, Sheehy’s total support rises to 51%, while Tester’s reaches 48%.

The Emerson College Polling Montana survey was conducted October 23-25, 2024. The sample of likely voters, n=1,000, has a credibility interval, similar to a poll’s margin of error (MOE), of +/- 3 percentage points. 

Check out the full report from Emerson HERE. 

Tester is surging. The news is all about Sheehy’s gunshot wound and his other lies. I have not seen too many positive commercials about him. The airwaves are full of negative ads about Sheehy like the one from a Navy SEAL who deployed with Sheehy to Afghanistan. He says, “So when he says he took a bullet in the arm in Afghanistan we all know it’s not true.” He adds, “There’s no honor in lying about your service.” (Video)

Voters should understand that the scrutiny Sheehy has faced since he lied about the gunshot wound will only grow more intense if he is elected. He won’t be able to dodge the DC press corps like he does the press in Montana. Who knows what else they will find out about him?

A LESSON IN NAZISM:

Great Falls City Commissioner Rick Tryon gave his readers a “lesson” about Nazis. Tryon writes:

So, to those who continue to flippantly and ignorantly refer to Trump as Hitler and their fellow Americans as Nazis and fascists simply because they have different political views or say things you don’t like, let’s review what actual Nazis were guilty of actually doing: 

You can read the rest of his “lesson” HERE. 

Tryon has been calling Vice President Kamala Harris “Comrade Kamala,” and I don’t think he means it the friendly way, either. One definition says “Comrade” is a fellow socialist or communist. 

Maybe he should take his own advice?  Maybe he should just go away? 

CASCADE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS: 

The Electric is reporting about Cascade County Commissioners disagreeing over meeting protocols. That’s about as exciting as it gets. 

I salute The Electric for covering this circus. The article reads like a bad soap opera. 

The Cascade County Commissioners are all Republicans. They can’t get along. I guess this is why we can’t have nice things. 

Fill your coffee cup up and read the article HERE. 

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN RALLY:

In case you missed it, Donald Trump held a campaign rally in New York City at Madison Square Garden. Trump trails Kamala Harris by about 15 points in New York. 

There were several articles referencing a rally there in 1939 that was billed as a “Pro American Rally.” According to NPR, the rally was sponsored by the German American Bund, an organization with headquarters in Manhattan and thousands of members across the United States. In the 1930s, the Bund was one of several organizations in the United States that were openly supportive of Adolf Hitler and the rise of fascism in Europe. (Source)

Trump’s rally was full of “crude and racist insults” and contained “vulgar and racist remarks from his allies.”  Reuters reported that some speakers “used racist and misogynistic language in warming up a capacity crowd.” One person said Puerto Rico is a “floating island of garbage.”

The Associated Press reported:

Trump’s childhood friend David Rem, meanwhile, referred to Harris as “the Antichrist” and “the devil.” Businessman Grant Cardone told the crowd that Harris “and her pimp handlers will destroy our country.” And former Fox News host Tucker Carlson called Harris, the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, “a Samoan, Malaysian, low-IQ former California prosecutor.”

There is a lot of hate coming from the MAGAs. 

ONE MORE THING:

I am proud to say I never voted for Donald Trump and I never well. I won’t vote for any MAGA candidates. Join me! Stop the hate.
