Nebraska changing to winner take all in Electoral College possibly?

Nebraska is one of those states that splits its electoral votes by three districts. The district that include Omaha is traditionally a democratic vote. But the Governor is pushing for a bill to make it winner take all in the state(and they have the right to do this), and they are likely to vote on this soon.

What does this mean? That single vote in the Omaha district could make a very easy map to 269 for Trump, without having to win any rust belt swing states. So this means that an electoral map can easily be put together with Donald Trump getting to 269 EC votes, which would be a tie. And this map shows Trump losing all the rust belt swing states. So Nebraska by changing their law could make a very easy electoral map for Trump, with basically 269 votes could already be in the bank.

Nebraska goes winner take all in EC?

Also interesting today is that it appears that 50 senate seats are already guaranteed to the GOP. 49 GOP senate seats are considered basically safe at this point, and Joe Manchin is not running, and the GOP candidate has a 12-15 point lead. So Manchin's seat is flipping, this puts the Senate back to the GOP if Trump wins. And they could easily get more seats.

Tang leaving??


Would be great to get him out of the Big 12

Don Smith

AKA, Zaid Abdul-Aziz, Don Smith to Iowa Staters of the time, was born 77 years ago. He was recruited to Iowa State out of Bed-Stuy in NYC by Glen Anderson on the recommendation of Hank Whitney, former Iowa State great.

Big 8 Sophomore of the year in 1965-66, All-Conference in 1966-67 and 67-68, AA in 67-68, and the 5th pick in the NBA draft. His career per game averages for points and rebounds are at or the top in ISU history. Since the NCAA limit of 3 years eligibility and 24 games per season, career totals are less. A player today plays as many games in 2 years as a player did in three during that era.

A testament to his prowess, he scored 33 points in a head-to-head battle with Lew Alcindor. Sadly, the rest of the team did not fare as well. Both Smith and Alcindor later converted to Islam and go by Zaid Abdul-Aziz and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar respectively.

The real threat to Democracy

“…President Biden is much worse," Kennedy said. "And the reason for that is President Biden is the first candidate in history, the first president in history that has used the federal agencies to censor political speech or censor his opponent."

"The greatest threat to democracy is not somebody who questions election returns but a President of the United States who will use the power of his office to force the social media companies Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, to open a portal and give access to that portal to the FBI, CIA, the IRS, the NIH, to censor his political critics," he added.
