Survey Fever Public Reports

The day before the election is here. Our SurveyFever.com tracking study followed the seven targeted swing states for President and the eight toss-up states in the US Senate. With the final study now completed we are ready to project winners for tomorrow’s races in our weekly tracking studies. Donald Trump has gained strength each week that we have conducted the studies. That momentum continues. Trump should win the targeted swing states of Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Standing Up For Our Values

This past week I wrote a short note to some neighbors requesting that they consider removing their front yard Halloween display that has a witch lowering a little girl headfirst into a boiling cauldron of water. The thrust of the note was that some things simply are not funny or cute, and should not be shown to children as if they were. So that led me to thinking about couple of “popular” songs which, for many years, I have shunned for the same reason.

Survey Fever Public Reports

The Trump momentum continues to gain support in the swing states but is slowing down. Trump/Vance now lead Harris/Walz in five of the seven targeted swing states according to SurveyFever.com. The remaining states of MI and WI are virtually tied at 48 all. Trump is now ahead according to the most recent polling in Pennsylvania by 49 to 47.5, a strong movement from last week. Trump is now in position to gain control of the Electoral College and surpass the 270 Electoral votes needed for the win.

A Threshold of Respect

  The theme of this column is treating all people with a threshold of respect.  So I begin by adding one more story about my wonderful and even heroic father, Federal District Judge William P. Gray.  (I hope you remember and utilize his comment that “You have every right to disagree, but you have no right to be disagreeable.”)  But this new story is as follows: Many years ago my father was asked if he would agree to take a tour of the Federal Correctional Facility at Lompoc, California.  Naturally he agreed, and he took my mother with him.  While he was there the warden told him that, coincidentally, there would be a talent show later that afternoon presented by some of the inmates, so would they like to attend?

Effectively Reducing Homelessness

While on my recent vacation I read a book written by four members of the Pacific Research Institute (PRI) entitled NO WAY HOME: The Crisis of Homelessness and How to Fix It with Intelligence and Humanity (Encounter Books). And the title says it all. In that regard I hope you agree with me that having such a large homeless population is a blight upon who we are as a country. All lawful residents in our country should have a place of shelter for themselves and their possessions. But today California alone has more than 150,000 people who are homeless. Why?

Survey Fever Public Reports

The Trump momentum continues to close the gap on the swing states. Trump/Vance are now leading Harris/Walz in five of the seven targeted swing states according to SurveyFever.com. The remaining states of MI and PA are both tied at 48 all. Trump has now taken the lead and is in position to surpass the 270 Electoral votes needed for the win. We have watched a steady movement of support by Trump each week of the tracking study.

Wasteful Federal Programs

Thomas Jefferson was quoted as saying that “We need a revolution every 20 years just to keep the government honest.” He is right, and we now in many ways have a “dishonest” government to prove it. How can I say that? Because without that revolution (which does not have to be bloody) government continues to grow and to serve itself at the expense of “We the People.”

Single-Payer Healthcare is a Trap

One of my all-time heroes, Dr. Milton Friedman, once said that we should judge our programs by their results, not their good intentions. In an earlier 2 Paragraphs edition I discussed this in relationship to minimum wage laws, saying that it was far more productive for a society to have 100 people working for $15 per hour than 75 people working for $20 per hour.
