QUESTION 1 - Why is early voting desired?

It allows spreading GOTV efforts over a longer timeframe. It can highlight chicanerie at the polls in time for corrections to be made. It avoids problems of power outages, bad weather, "muh voting machine broken" on the last day. Or even personal reasons like illness or car troubles that may keep someone from voting on the day.

QUESTION 2 - What is early? Is now the time?

ASAP, AFAIK.

QUESTION 3 - If I vote early, is there a chance of manipulation of my vote?

Probably no more and no less than voting on election day.

At this point, most serious Catholics can't stand this present pope. The argument at the moment is between those who don't even think he is the pope at all vs. those who think he is one of, if not the, worst pope ever.

Interesting that he puts Trump in the context of his closest team.

First, that Trump cannot be a narcissist if he is willing and happy to share the spotlight with a team of highly accomplished people!

Second, that his team is fully capable of shouldering the heavy burden along with Trump. He has GOOD people around him this time, and that will be a force multiplier as there is so much that needs doing.

He's right. A good society is a bottoms-up, grassroots, organic society. Not a top-down "planned" society.

The slippery slope started with the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution Act 1972, supported by a truly disheartening 84.38% of the population in a referendum.

'It became very clear then that he and Donald were really, really good friends and spent a lot of time together,' Williams said.

Several months later, she said she was groped and inappropriately touched by Trump in what she believed was a 'twisted game' between the two men.

Smells like paid setup.

Surprised he's so ambivalent; he's been encouraging early voting at his rallies.

The original Times of Israel article here:

https://www.timesofisrael.com/family-of-fallen-soldier-told-to-take-down-headstone-because-it-has-a-cross-on-it/

The family told Hebrew media that it was not clear to them why they were being singled out, claiming there were several other graves in the cemetery that bore crosses. ... In response, the Defense Ministry said it has been in a longstanding consultation with the family to find a solution because the headstone violates military cemetery regulation that bar crosses or other religious symbols.

It seems military graves must have no religious symbols at all, but "regular" graves in the same cemetary can have them. That, of course, is its own problem.

Comments are interesting; most side with the soldier.

For example, this dig at the Haredim who will not do military service:

Let the man rest in peace and all that follow him irrespective of their religion. They fought with honour for Israel. And that is the ultimate sacrifice that some Jews, like the Haredim, are not prepared to do. Respect the sacrifice!

Another:

Regulations are man made. They are not God given, they are not written in stone. If they need improvement, they must be improved. If they need amendment, they must be amended. Humanity must be the guide.

And another:

My dad is interred at Arlington National Cemetery. He was a bombardier shot down and imprisoned in the POW camp in Barth, Germany. His plaque proudly show the Star of David. If there are lessons to be learned on how to treat our fallen soldiers, Israel might want to reconsider this insult its fallen hero. This is sickening.

Worth reading all the comments.

Hello--we may be related (usernames!)

I agree, it was a real issue under certain conditions.

But the media spun it as (and people believed it was going to be) "your coffee maker will suddenly think it's 1900 and stop working because coffee makers weren't invented in 1900".

Perhaps, leaving aside the real problems, the media and the spin on Y2K was an early test run of how much the media could make the general public panic.

In Canada, even fast food jobs are going to foreigners. The "temporary foreign workers" program is a total scandal.

This topic comes up every couple of months.

There is no manuscript of the "Q" document. It is merely a hypothesis made by rather anti-Christian "scientific" biblical scholars (gotta "follow the science" eh?) that the evangelists never existed, just various "schools of thought" that grew up around their names. The Gospels are by this theory basically plagiarism of some hypothesized-but-never-found source (quelle) text that they call Q.

So does not teaching Latin.

Tons of stuff was written in Latin, right up until the early 20th century. Heck, Parliamentary debates in Austria-Hungary were in Latin so as not to favour either German or Magyar! It filled the role that Esperanto was invented to fill, i.e. be everyone's "second language" to aid communications. And not all of it has been translated.

In the late 1960s "the powers that be" just decided to stop teaching it. And now all that material is magically inaccessible.

Just as they wanted it to be.

I don't think you need 33 satanic-masonic buildings blowing up on the same day to come to the conclusion that voting early is a good idea.

I think antifa disruptions, pro-palestinian protester disruptions, sudden power failure and "muh voting machine is down" problems, are far more likely.

"Do it as soon as you can" is reasonable advice.

He got serious at the end, about God saving him from assassination. That was the real speech: the rest was filler.

No, that's not good enough. He can't lead by just a fraction of a percent; he has to totally dominate. He has to win states with a 60% / 40% vote split at MINIMUM to demoralize society's leftists and the Cabal. (Given the size of his rallies, this is probably actually realistic.) "Too big to rig".
