In August, Our Worst Start Ever and an Impressive Finish

The August funding drive got off to the worst start we have ever seen, period. We were behind the entire month as a result.

We got a good response towards the end of the month, which really helped but we had a deep hole to climb out of.

We love our Reader-Supporters but for everyone’s sake we need to mitigate the drama.

Thank you one and all!

FOCUS: This Is Democrats' Doomsday Scenario for Election Night

Excerpt: "What if early results in swing states on November 3 show President Trump ahead, and he declares victory before heavily Democratic mail-in votes, which he has falsely linked with fraud, are fully counted?"

s returns came in on election night in Florida in 2018, the Republicans running for governor and the Senate took narrow leads in races that were too close to call.

Over the next days, their Democratic opponents began closing the gaps as mailed-in votes were counted. President Trump raised an alarm. Demanding that the races be called for the Republicans, Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis, he tweeted falsely that “large numbers of new ballots showed up out of nowhere,” adding: “An honest vote count is no longer possible-ballots massively infected. Must go with Election Night!”

Nothing was fraudulent about the ballots tallied in the days after Election Day. And neither Democrat went on to win his race. Yet Mr. Trump has never let go of a baseless accusation that Democrats use mail voting to “steal” elections, a piece of disinformation he has promoted all year, including at the Republican National Convention.
