The photo seemingly was used to highlight the cabinet members of color, specifically.

I count (could be wrong) seven white men on the cabinet.

Here are five white men who seemingly still sit on the cabinet. I believe there are two more.

Interesting. Thanks.

I'm very suspicious of Tweets from both the left and right, T-A. People will purposely omit context so as to suit their political agenda. Upon seeing the photo, I said to myself, "Odd that her cabinet is so modest in number. Let me check." Took me two minutes. Easy.

I trust you are rocking and rolling out West.

Go, Tigers!

Check my permanent thread near the top of the page. Lots of updates up there about my journey.

I check it once and week and enjoy!

I thought you were gonna call it "Maddy Poo" or "Cool Cool" instead.

Sorry. Couldn't resist. All in good fun though, right?

Cool cool.

You forgot the asterisk.

"something Biden*"

I asked Gemini about the idea of buying a parrot to travel with me. Gemini told me I was an idiot, lol. Too high maintenance, and they can develop bad habits.

Yeah, I call you GC. Google Gemini and I are good buddies, too, since I have asked it a gazillion questions on my road trip. There is no finishing school for RV trailer management for 80 YOs with no experience, so I basically have been learning the hard way, with an able assist from my computer files buddy, lol.

I'm not sure I could have pulled this off before the internet, lol. And by pulling it off, I mean so far...not done yet. I have about 2-3+ more weeks, depending on how fast I want to take the trip home.

Anyone else heard this?

Early Vote Shows Hispanic Turnout Exploding in Texas.

“With three days until Election Day, Texas early voting numbers show a staggering surge of Hispanic voters in the state… To date, nearly 1.8 million Hispanic voters have cast ballots in the Lone Star State. Compared to the same time in the 2022 election cycle, that represents an increase of more than 881,000 additional Hispanic voters statewide, or an 87.2% bump.”

Also posted by NBC News behind a paywall.

I'm hearing they won't be voting for that beta boy. Can anyone from Texas confirm?

NBC also reported Trump voters are staying red, they are not flipping.

For weeks most insiders on both sides thought Talarico was going to lose. Then the Texas early vote started coming in, and they initially thought it was great for Talarico and the dems. But in the final days, the GOP did extremely well. But when they broke all of those early votes out by propensity, it started looking a lot worse for the dems.

They looked at 3 buckets; 1) High propensity voters (always votes) 2) medium propensity voters (usually votes in the presidential elections but not always in the mid-terms and 3) low propensity voters (rarely votes in presidential and almost never in the mid-terms.

When they looked at the early vote in Texas, dems had already banked a majority of their high propensity voters, but had much less participation amongst low propensity voters. The GOP on the other hand, banked a nice chunk of low propensity voters, with a large chunk of high propensity voters yet to cast a ballot. (Which they will on election day.)

This means dems have already banked more of their low hanging fruit, and now need to bank the hard votes on election day, which is really tough to do. The gop has banked a good chunk of those harder votes early, and will have an onslaught of high propensity voters showing up on election day.

Although the MSM has done its usual psy-op trying to suppress GOP voters, lying with inaccurate and unscientific 'polls' heavily biased or downright fraudulent, anecdotally, no one I know who usually votes red is planning on voting anything but red all the way down ballot. Now, some I know in TX have stated they are not thrilled with Paxon, but there is still no way in hades they'll vote for Tallywhacker and none so far have indicated to me they will sit this one out. Again, anecdotal, so there's that, but most I have asked are aware the MSMedia and 'polls' these days are complete lies and are not falling for it. Don't know about others if that is true of their friends across the country. And BTW, most folks I know in CA and NY have already left or are trying very hard to get the heck out, and no they are not taking any 'blue' propensities with them to their new locations.

The falsehood laced data being tossed out in Blue States isn't trying to discourage Conservative voters. It's setting expectations that if cheating is rampantly used through machine switching which Dominion makes easy, the totals will not be conflicting with the early false data but supportive of it and vice versa.

I'll be in my polling place on Tuesday with my honey, but Alabama likely isn't in doubt!

I voted this past Thursday and made sure I voted Republican in every single race there was a Republican. And seeing as though I live in Liberty County, I didn't see a single race where there was a lone candidate that was a Democrat. Not a one.

Flooding from historic rainstorms in Florida along the Spacecoast is changing some polling locations.

I've been in AZ, one of the driest states in the country, almost a week, and it has rained every day until today. I drove up from Williams AZ to the Grand Canyon today, and everything on both sides of the road was under water. Including one entire ranch.

Heading to the poll - - not that there’s much to vote for (or against) in this year’s midterms in my particular precinct. The real action is elsewhere.

Unlike prior elections, I have no intention of waiting up to learn the results. I’ll log onto this site tomorrow around this time to get a sense of whether anything of importance happened. And even then, it’ll all mostly still just be spin.

Good luck to all of you in states or districts facing more meaningful contests.

Vote early and often!!

And if you're a Democrat, commit voter fraud.

We can't have Republicans taking away the free **** we give to illegal aliens.

A guy on with Sean Spicer evaluates early voting by county and historical trends. He saw the following from early voting:

1. NC was very good for dems

2. Texas was initially good for dems, then the gop reversed that later.

3. Michigan metro areas have not been good for democrats. (Mike Rogers confirms they are running ahead of two years ago.

4. Ohio metro areas are really bad for the democrats.
