New polling in battleground states Georgia, Pennsylvania and nationally offer some mixed messaging - but the consensus is:

1. Kamala Harris has either made up ground or surpassed Trump and

2. this race is a dead heat

But what are yard signs (or lack thereof) and local TV, radio and social influencer vibes telling us? Friend of the show King Williams tweeted earlier this week his concerns about the Democratic party's ground game in Georgia. He ain't feeling it. I sort of predicted this being a problem months ago.

The Federal Reserve's rate cut (twice as big as I and most 'actual' experts expected) may well have political ramifications. Notable that what's good for America is bad for "MAGA," as evidence by his crowd booing as Senator JD Vance was asked about it. He naturally took the "my base is stupid so I'll keep deceiving them" route.

Speaking go Vance and lies ... the New Republic reports his hyperbolic insistence about Haitians ratcheting up communicable diseases in Springfield, Ohio is factually inaccurate. Surprise, surprise.
