Q&A
What is the significance of the Iran hacking story and how does it compare to the Hunter Biden laptop story?
The Iran hacking story is significant because it raises questions about foreign interference in the upcoming election. The FBI's statement on the matter and the different reactions to it compared to the Hunter Biden laptop story highlight potential biases and the influence of the security state.
What is the winner-take-all system and why is it important in the context of the upcoming election?
The winner-take-all system awards all of a state's electoral votes to the candidate who wins the most votes. Nebraska and Maine are the only states that do not use this system. Making Nebraska a winner-take-all state could potentially change the outcome of the election, as it could lead to a 269-269 tie in the electoral college.
How is the security state framing the upcoming election and what are the potential consequences?
The security state is framing the election as a choice between Iran and Trump or Russia and Harris, which is a tactic to stoke conflict and benefit from it. This framing could lead to unnecessary wars and a continuation of the war status quo.
What is the significance of Trump's recent rally in New York and how does it fit into his campaign strategy?
Trump's rally in New York was significant because it showed his strength and popularity in his home state. It also highlighted his ability to connect with voters on a personal level and generate viral content. This strategy of playing offense on the left's terrain could have a positive impact on other states.
