Will my election night party end in fisticuffs?

Election fever is heating up and I hope the party I’m giving on the evening of 3 November will not end in fisticuffs. All my guests except one are Trump-haters, so my dinner looks a bit like the Last Supper in reverse. Never mind. Many who pretend to know are predicting a Biden landslide, including yours truly, so at least I’ll have a reason to drown my troubles in very good Frog red, and serve my guests ordinary Italian white.

Yippee! Even without a pandemic and Trump’s misstatements, it would take a miracle for The Donald to win in view of the attacks on him by what is supposedly neutral news. Never before have the media been so openly biased in the way they have coseted and protected Biden while discrediting everything that Trump has accomplished. The President is openly blamed for the numbers of unemployed when even a child would be able to see that Trump had lowered unemployment to its lowest level for 50 years.

Smug TV pundits and columnists hammer away each day and night on the evils of Trump: ‘For Democrats, horror never ends, replaying 2016 in an endless loop with doses of fear, stress and loathing,’ was a New York Times headline written by a hysterical woman this week. The Biden scandals have been covered up and described by a lone conservative writer as ‘the opposite of a feeding frenzy’. Hunter Biden’s sleazy business affairs have a lid on them imposed by the liberal powers that rule the media, Big Tech and the entertainment industry.

The newspapers and TV work hard to discredit any story that doesn’t toe the anti-Trump line. I worked as a journalist under the strict censorship of the Greek colonels (it suited me fine then), but this is much worse.
