America wins: Trump is the president-elect

Donald J. Trump made the biggest political comeback in American history--he will be the 47th president of the United States. Not only that, but the Republicans have recaptured the Senate. The House of Representatives is too close to call.

Trump has a decent shot of winning the popular vote.

I am so proud to be an American. 

It's morning again in America.

Chicago cop murdered during traffic stop

There's bad news on this Election Day morning. A Chicago cop was murdered.

From Fox Chicago:

The shooting happened during a traffic stop around 8 p.m. in the 8000 block of South Ingleside Avenue, according to Chicago police. 

Someone inside the vehicle started shooting as police approached, striking one officer and another occupant of the vehicle. Police said at least one officer returned fire. The suspect tried to drive away and struck another officer at the scene. The driver then tried to run away from the car but was arrested in the 8000 block of South Maryland Avenue, police said. 

The officer who was shot was taken to the University of Chicago Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The Fraternal Order of Police identified him Tuesday morning as 26-year-old Officer Enrique Martinez.

Kamala still can't answer a basic question, with Election Day just hours away

There's a California ballot initiative, Proposition 36, that will increase the penalties for theft.

A reporter asked Kamala Harris, who lives in San Francisco, how she voted on that measure, and she of course responded with a word salad.

How is Harris going to handle Putin, Xi, or Kim?

Newt Gingrich: Kamala Harris is beginning to realize ‘she’s going to lose’

Republicans, if you haven't vote yet, do so today.

Kamala on doom spiral? Democrats regretting their smear tactics against Trump supporters?

While it appears that the wheels are coming off the Kamala Harris short bus, here's advice from a runner 

As a race nears its end, and you believe victory is at hand, run like your archrival is running three feet behind you.

Always. 

I used the same strategy with elections.

Get out and vote for Trump--now!

Meanwhile, Joe Biden's insult of Trump voters, Joe Biden called them "garbage," is backfiring.

The Rainmakers - Lakeview Man (Rockefeller, Oslo 2012)

It's Halloween weekend.

Well, not really, because Halloween is on Thursday, but there will be many Halloween parties this weekend, all over the world.

There will likely be some Halloween celebrations in Norway, where one of my favorite bands, the Rainmakers, are quite popular.

Watch and howl as they perform "Lakeview Man," which is about a werewolf type beast, in Oslo in 2012.
