You're Not Going to Believe This, But Michael Eric Dyson Thinks He Knows Why People Are Saying He Was Trying to Sext a Woman He's Not Married To
Can you guess why people would say it's inappropriate to sent a flirty, obvious pick-up text to a woman you're not married to, despite being married?
Despite you having called that same woman a racist and white supremacist hours before? I think you can guess. It's because you're all racists pushing the racist trope that sometimes black men are attracted to white women with thicc butts. I mean. Come on. That's just racism straight-up. That's crazytalk squared.Actually you called her a gorgeous woman, then said "we look good together" (wink) and then sent a winky emoji and a kissy face emoji.
Author Michael Eric Dyson doubled down on his heated on-air clash last month with Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., insisting during a Tuesday appearance on "The View" that he "tried to be nice" to the Republican congresswoman while calling her out for mispronouncing Vice President Kamala Harris' name. "I tried to be nice to the woman," Dyson said after arguing that times have changed with regard to what people can say to others. "I said, 'You're a wonderful woman' -- I lied -- but I tried to be nice to her and even when I pointed out to her what the repetition of the misnaming of Kamala Harris would do she got defensive, 'Oh, you're calling me a racist.' No."
He went on The View to claim she was pushing the racist trope of "the black brute" attempting to pick up "the innocent white woman." He says he "tried to be nice to the woman." Yeah I bet you did. He also called her a racist again, while claiming he hadn't called her a racist and wasn't calling her a racist now. Though he then said methinks she doth protest too much. You know what that means, right, "professor"? That means you're saying she knows she's a racist so she's overly-aggressively denying it.
During a clash on CNN in August, Dyson told Mace, who had mispronounced Harris' first name during the segment, that she was part of the history of disregarding the "humanity of Black people." ...
Dyson called Mace a "bigot" after she raised the text messages during the congressional hearing. "The ridiculous lies told by Nancy Mace in the effort to smear my name because of her anger at being checked for her insensitive disregard for @VP... I had no intent with her to do anything but be nice," he wrote on X. "And her White women's tears and mendacity are all in the service of lies and distortions. I was wrong about one thing: she IS a bigot and racist." On "The View" Tuesday, Dyson identified Mace as a "White Christian" and claimed, "White Christians hate themselves for the past wrongs that have been done, and I'm here as a loving Christian to say, let's grapple with that past, acknowledge the historic legacy of supremacy, don't deny it, don't erase it, don't eviscerate it." Dyson reiterated his comments about "White Christians" during another segment later in the show and responded to Mace's claims of him sending her flirtatious messages. "When I said White Christians, I meant White evangelical Christians. I'm a Christian minister myself, so I ain't hating. And this is why I try to extend a compliment to Nancy Mace. I wasn't flirting with you. I was trying to be flattering to you," he said. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg chimed in and said that Dyson could explain it all he wanted to, but that Mace would never understand.

Even the NY Times Admits That Stephanie Ruhle Is a Hardcore Kamala Harris Partisan Who Did Not Press Her on Any Issues, Says Kamala Harris Failed to Offer Any Substantive Answers
As Vice President Kamala Harris parses out the details of her agenda, she has favored broad strokes over detailed policy papers. Only recently has she begun sitting for interviews, which have elicited few details about what her presidential administration might look like. Little about that careful approach changed during a 25-minute interview with Stephanie Ruhle of MSNBC that was broadcast on Wednesday night. It was Ms. Harris's first one-on-one interview on cable television since becoming the Democratic nominee. In her discussion with a friendly interviewer, the vice president again presented herself as a champion of the middle class and hit many of the same themes from her pro-business economic speech earlier in the day. She largely avoided direct questions about how she would govern and why some voters remain fond of former President Donald J. Trump's stewardship of the economy. Here are three takeaways from Ms. Harris's interview. Ms. Ruhle's first question was about how Ms. Harris might respond to people who hear her proposals and say, "These policies aren't for me." The MSNBC host's second was about why voters tend to tell pollsters that Mr. Trump is better equipped to handle the economy. Ms. Harris responded to the fairly basic and predictable questions with roundabout responses that did not provide a substantive answer.Megyn Kelly was unimpressed by the leftwing propandist as well. Here's some good news: the low-IQ ditzy dickrider learned a new Adult Word which she is saying every five seconds, like a child might. This word is "holistically." Like "opportunity economy," Hoorish obviously does not know what it means, either. Other nonsense filler words she repeated throughout this fake interview: "ambitions," "aspirations," and "dreams." Worth the watch.
Instead of offering any explanation for why Mr. Trump polls better on the economy -- a matter that has vexed Democrats as President Biden has overseen a steadily improving economy -- Ms. Harris instead blasted Mr. Trump's record. She blamed him for a loss of manufacturing and autoworker jobs and said his tariff proposals would serve as an added sales tax on American consumers. She said nothing about why voters think Mr. Trump and Republicans would be better on the economy. But she did say her policies are for everyone.
... A hard-hitting Harris interview is still yet to come. Since Ms. Harris began granting more interviews in recent days, her media strategy has been to sit with friendly inquisitors who are not inclined to ask terribly thorny questions or press her when her responses are evasive. Nothing about that changed during her interview with Ms. Ruhle before her audience on MSNBC, the liberal cable channel whose viewers overwhelmingly favor Democratic candidates. It's not quite clear what Ms. Harris gained, aside from giving her campaign aides the ability to say she held a one-on-one cable television interview. For the vice president, speaking with Ms. Ruhle was roughly in the same ballpark as Mr. Trump having one of his regular chats with Sean Hannity of Fox News. Last week, Ms. Ruhle openly showed her preference for Ms. Harris over Mr. Trump during an appearance on Bill Maher's HBO program. And when she interviewed Mr. Biden in May 2023, Ms. Ruhle did not press him after his stumbling answers and praised him throughout the 14-minute discussion.
So it went with Ms. Harris. Ms. Ruhle joined Ms. Harris in attacking Mr. Trump ("His plan is not serious, when you lay it out like that") and avoided posing tricky questions about positions Ms. Harris supported during her 2020 presidential campaign or what, if anything, she knew about Mr. Biden's physical condition or mental acuity as his own campaign deteriorated. Which is perhaps why Ms. Harris agreed to the interview in the first place.

Good News: North Carolina Election Board Successfully Sued Into Removing Nearly 750,000 Ineligible Voters from Voter Rolls
Why was a lawsuit required to accomplish this? Why does a state have to be compelled into taking the most elementary steps towards securing an election against fraud?
These are rhetorical questions. We all know the answer.GeorgeThere is bad news out of Arizona. There are 98,000 potential non-citizens fraudulently registered to vote there, but the Democrat Secretary of State says he won't restrict these illegal voters to a "federal-only ballot." If you're wondering what kind of gibberish that was, join the club. Yes, Arizona bans foreigners from voting in the statewide elections, but they've decided that illegal aliens can vote in federal elections. And the Democrat Secretary of State won't even restrict these likely criminal aliens from merely voting in the federal elections. They'll get to fraudulently vote in state contests, too.
@BehizyTweets BREAKING: The North Carolina Election Board just revealed that they have removed 750,000 names from the voter rolls, including 130,000 dead people and 290,000 registrations that were duplicates This comes after Republicans filed a lawsuit, showing 225,000 names were unlawfully allowed onto the rolls because of a failure "to collect certain required identification information before the registration forms were processed." This purge of exactly 747,274 is just the number purged in the last 20 months. So, I don't believe it includes the names challenged by the Republican Party, which means they still have hundreds of thousands more to remove. How does a state of 10 million end up with almost a million ineligible registrations in the first place? In elections, sometimes separated by a handful of votes, having almost a million ineligible names on the voter rolls, plus rampant mail-in voting, is an Election Fraudster's dream.
A "coding oversight" in state software is calling into question the citizenship status of 100,000 registered Arizona voters, prompting the state's Democratic secretary of state to insist he will send out ballots to those affected anyway. "I am unwilling to disenfranchise this many voters by limiting them, suddenly, and with little notice, to a federal-only ballot when none of them had actual notice of or blame for this issue," Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said during a Tuesday news conference. "We inherited this problem, we're on it, and we're going to fix it. It's as simple as that." The mistake affects individuals who obtained their driver's licenses before October 1996 and subsequently received duplicates before registering to vote after 2004. Since 2005, Arizona has required proof of U.S. citizenship for voting in state and local elections. Without this proof, these voters would be considered "federal only" voters, permitting them to vote solely on presidential and congressional elections rather than the full ballot. "We don't have any reason to believe that anyone in this gap is not an eligible voter," Fontes said. "We don't have any reason to believe that they're not eligible citizens in spite of the fact that we did find one. All we know is they fit into this category and all of this requires more research."And in Georgia, the self-declared Party of Democracy -- actually the P. Diddy Freakoff Party -- is doing what true democrats do, contorting the law to stop citizens from voting for the candidates they like by knocking those candidates off the ballot.
The Georgia Supreme Court unanimously ruled Wednesday that presidential candidates Cornel West and Claudia De la Cruz do not qualify to appear on the state's ballot, meaning any votes cast for either candidate will not be counted. Democrats have launched lawfare efforts against the candidates in several states where they could potentially hurt Vice President Kamala Harris' chances of winning. The court ruled that the presidential electors for both West and De la Cruz failed to submit proper petitions with the required signatures after Democrats challenged the candidates. The court ruled each elector was required to submit a separate petition with the required signatures needed to qualify for the ballot. That means each of West and De la Cruz's 16 electors needed to file individual petitions with 7,500 signatures. But both West and De la Cruz submitted only one petition following guidance from Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. "We now hold that each presidential elector for an independent candidate running for the office of President of the United States is a 'candidate' required to file a notice of candidacy under [state law] applies to each presidential elector for an independent candidate running for the office of President of the United States; and, under [state law], each presidential elector is therefore required to file a nomination petition in his or her own name 'in the form prescribed in Code Section 21-2-170,'" the court ruled. The court ordered Raffensperger to place notices in polling locations warning that votes cast for West and De la Cruz will not count since new ballots without the candidates' names cannot be reprinted in time for the Nov. 5 election.Meanwhile, of course, the Democrat-majority Supreme Court of Michigan has ruled that RFKJr. must remain on the ballot, despite him dropping out of the race and petitioning the state to remove his name. But in Georgia? Candidates that want to be on the ballot, who might attract leftwing voters, are banned from the ballot. And the left-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court overturned a lower court decision to ban unsupervised, unmonitored ballot drop boxes. They're an open invitation to mass voter fraud, which is why the Democrat Party is absolutely determined to keep these crucial criminal props in operation.

Whistleblower: Trump Forced to Cancel Wisconsin Rally Due to Biden Refusing the Most Targeted Man on Earth Sufficient Secret Service Resources
The Secret Service must have been busy playing grabass.
I guess "Doctor" Jill Biden will be attending a Ladies Auxiliary which obviously is higher priority.
Harris-Biden are rigging the election by making Trump choose between his life and an effective get-out-the-vote operation.Former President Donald Trump was recently forced to cancel a campaign rally in Wisconsin because the federal task force in charge of safety denied him adequate protection resources. On Tuesday, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., sent a letter to the acting director of the Secret Service detailing the allegations of a whistleblower who said the event was canceled because the nation's premier security agency lacked "sufficient assets" to keep the Republican presidential nominee safe. "Other whistleblowers with knowledge of Secret Service planning protocols allege that failure to provide protection for a major public event is highly unusual and that a sitting president would never be denied resources in this way," Hawley wrote. Wisconsin was one of several key rust belt states Trump narrowly won in 2016, and then lost by just roughly 20,000 votes in 2020. According to the latest aggregate of surveys maintained by RealClearPolitics, Harris is leading Trump by less than 1 point in the state, whereas Biden led by more than 6 points at the same point in the race. Trump's canceled campaign event in contrast to Vice President Kamala Harris' ability to roam the nation safely marks just the latest double standard in the race when it comes to the candidates' security. After a series of agency failures opened the door to a failed assassination attempt on Trump this summer, the Republican candidate was told to no longer hold outdoor campaign events. "The Secret Service did not return an email from The Federalist requesting comment," Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle reported. "So it's not clear whether the agency has made the same requests of Vice President Kamala Harris."The Secret Service's Pittsburgh office (which was, by the way, the city Jill Biden was visiting which required four whole Secret Service spotter-sniper teams to protect the Fake President) was unaware of any threats against the president until they saw the Butler sniper attack on TV.
A newly released report from the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee revealed a significant failure within the Secret Service during a July 13 rally for former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. The Secret Service special agent in charge (SAIC) of the Pittsburgh field office stated they were not informed of credible threats to Trump until after an assassination attempt, which they learned about from televised news reports. The preliminary report highlights numerous communication breakdowns within the agency, with only two Secret Service agents made aware of the threat in advance. One of these agents received classified details about the threat, which involved a potential drone attack. The failure to relay this information to the SAIC and other key personnel has prompted criticism and internal reviews. Handwritten notes from the SAIC raised concerns about why critical intelligence had not been shared. "Why am I hearing that there were threats to the site on TV?" the SAIC wrote, questioning why more comprehensive security measures were not implemented. Counter snipers had been assigned to the event due to the intelligence, but many personnel involved, including the intelligence advance agent and the SAIC, were not notified. The interim report pointed to the need for improved communication and decision-making within the agency to prevent such oversights in the future.
The Secret Service must have been busy playing grabass.
A Secret Service agent has been accused of sexually assaulting a staffer for Vice President Kamala Harris. The incident occurred in Green Bay, Wisconsin, during an advance security trip for a Harris campaign event that was later canceled. The agent has been placed on administrative leave pending investigation. Key Details: The alleged assault took place during a post-work gathering involving Harris staffers and Secret Service agents.Hey remember when we used to demand that employees be qualified and pass a criminal history check? And the latter wasn't "racist"? Good times, good times.
The accused agent was reportedly intoxicated and passed out in a hotel hallway after the incident.
Secret Service has launched an internal investigation; the agent is on administrative leave.

Tim Walz's Education Secretary Strongly Supports CRT as a Way to "Overthrow" American Society; Biden's Commerce Secretary Calls for Trump to be "Extinguished for Good"
Via Legal Insurrection. They quote NRO's Stanley Kurtz:
Communists top to bottom and front to back.
In a video first reported on by the National Review and posted to YouTube on June 19, 2022, by The Solidarity Network, Lozenski spoke about his research with a panel. He even touched on Critical Race Theory, a school of thought that generally focuses on how power structures and institutions affect racial minorities. The video was removed from YouTube late Wednesday evening. "We don't use critical race theory in school," Lozenski said. "The first tenet of critical race theory is that the United States, as constructed, is irreversibly racist. So, if the nation state, as constructed, is irreversibly racist, then it must be done with. It must be overthrown. "We can be like, 'Oh no, critical race theory is just about telling our stories and diversity,'" he added. "It's not about that. It's about overgrowth. It is insurgent."
Via Legal Insurrection. They quote NRO's Stanley Kurtz:
Lozenski is no outlier. On the contrary, he has been the leading voice advocating the addition of a radical version of "ethnic studies" to Minnesota's social-studies standards (citizenship and government, economics, geography, history, and now ethnic studies). Lozenski is also the key organizer and thought leader for the radical leftist advocacy groups that Governor Walz has effectively put in charge of rewriting Minnesota's social-studies standards.

NYC Democrat Mayor Eric Adams Indicted by Feds for Bribery, Wire Fraud, Soliciting "Donations" From Foreign Agents
I guess he should have stayed quiet about the flood of illegal aliens.
If you criticize the Regime, you lose Regime protection.New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on five federal charges related to bribery, wire fraud, conspiracy and soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals, according to a 57-page indictment unsealed Thursday morning. The indictment alleges illegal actions stretching back to 2014, from when he was Brooklyn Borough President. "For nearly a decade, Adams sought and accepted improper valuable benefits, such as luxury international travel, including from wealthy foreign businesspeople and at least one Turkish government official seeking to gain influence over him," the indictment reads. Specifically, he received luxury travel and other benefits from a Turkish official and later pressured the NYC Fire Department to open a Turkish consular building without a fire inspection in exchange, the indictment says. ... [H]e has struggled to resolve the city's key challenges, such as the migrant crisis and concerns about subway safety, and has faced criticism for his late-night partying and clashes over city spending, particularly on education. He once described himself as "the Biden of Brooklyn," but he has increasingly criticized the Biden administration and the federal government over its handling of immigration issues. Now, nearly three years into his first term, Adams' political career is in jeopardy, and several prominent New York political figures, including US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have already called for his resignation. If he were to resign, the job of America's most high-profile mayor would go to the city's public advocate, Jumaane Williams, until a special election occurred. ... In 2018, when Adams had announced his plans to run for New York City mayor, he allegedly accepted and sought illegal campaign contributions to his upcoming mayoral campaign, the indictment says. Businesses also circumvented the city's ban on corporate contributions "by funneling their donations through multiple employees," according to the indictment. A senior in the Turkish diplomatic establishment, who "facilitated many straw donations" to the mayor, also arranged for him and his posse to receive free or discounted travel on Turkey's national airline, which is owned "in significant part" by the Turkish government, according to the indictment. Adams and his companions also received free rooms at "opulent hotels," free meals at high-end restaurants, and free "luxurious entertainment" while in Turkey, court documents say. Adams did not disclose the travel benefits, as required of New York City employees, the indictment alleges. In September 2021, the Turkish official told Adams "it was his turn to repay" him by pressuring the NYC Fire Department to "facilitate the opening of a new Turkish consular building" without a fire inspection, the indictment alleges. Adams then pressured the FDNY to approve the building, the indictment alleges. Further, the indictment states that Adams and co-conspirators tried to conceal their conduct, including by deleting messages and changing his phone password.Obviously the Propaganda Media is avoiding noting his party affiliation. Guess That Party -- it's not just a game. It's a credo. Update:
Jesse KellyUpdate:
@JesseKellyDC The DOJ has so destroyed the trust of the American people that they can indict the Democrat mayor of Democrat-run New York and most of us are all, "Yeah, this is all revenge for something. Wonder what the real story is." That goes beyond this story. That's a national crisis.

The Morning Report — 9/26/24
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a state of emergency in almost every county in the state.Gov. Glenn Youngkin declared a state of emergency for Virginia as the rapidly intensifying Hurricane Helene threatened the state with strong wind and rainfall. While the storm is not forecasted to hit Virginia as hard as Florida, Youngkin warned that Helene could still batter the state with bad weather.As for the usual insanity that I deliver, let us dive right in. NYC Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on some sort of federal beef. whatever corruption or other actual charges there may be are nothing compared to his real crime of being a political thorn in the side of the Junta, during an election year where the major issue that weighs like an albatross around Kalorama Harris' neck, or like a roasted goose or house-pet around a Haitian campfire. is the complete intentional destruction to our nation with an erased border and zero immigration controls that Adams publicly and loudly bitched about.
Adams used to be a Biden proxy. The Biden junta liked the idea of a black big city mayor until Adams broke with it over the open borders illegal alien invasion. New York City was and is overwhelmed by the invaders. Facing staggering expenses and chaos, Adams initially followed the party line and blamed Texas and Florida for busing migrants, but then broke with the White House and blamed the Biden junta. At that point the relationship fell apart. And this outcome became inevitable. . . . . . In April/May 2023, Mayor Adams began making pointed comments about the border crisis being a federal problem. By August 2023, the Biden junta had begun taking shots at Adams. In November 2023, the federal investigation of Adams went public. Coincidence? Maybe. But I don’t believe in coincidences in corrupt systems. Like the election timing of this particular takedown which opens the door for a radical leftist takeover of the mayor’s office which will be an even worse version of Bill De Blasio.As an ex-New Yorker, that outcome that Daniel Greenfield frets about has been baked in the cake for many years, regardless of what open borders hath wrought on the Big Apple over the past four years. That said, I lived through the bad old days of the 60s through 80s that somehow resulted in the miracle victory of Rudy Giuliani. So, NewYorkers did indeed do it before, that is sober up and vote for sanity. Unfortunately the communism and corruption of the City Council and the vestiges of Tammany Hall will likely never allow that to happen again in what was once a great international capital. Ditto America in general. In spite of what Adams correctly warned about that has now made him a political liability, as well as the massive wave of attacks on Jews in the wake of 10/7 and a palpable shift of Jews away from the junta, does this mean New York City or State is in play for Trump. Without the corrupt party machine that controls the election process city and statewide, it could be. With no evidence to back my gut feeling up, I think Trump came damn close to taking New York in '16 and '20, than any other GOP candidate since Reagan in '84. Gina Raimondo, is a scroungy-looking diseased hen. But she is part and parcel of a regime and movement that sees America laid low as the way to paradise. So this poison that she squawked out comes as no surprise:
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that former President Donald Trump should be extinguished from politics, which she clarified meant “vote him out.” Raimondo said, “Tax policy, you have to work with Congress but if he decides he wants to do something crazy, like a 200% tariff, which will hurt Americans, raise prices and lose jobs, he could do it as president. Which is why honestly why I’m here in my personal capacity. The stakes are so high in this one. We cannot afford to put him back in the White House.” . . . Host Mika Brzezinski said, “And extinguish, you mean vote him out?” Raimondo said, “Yes, absolutely vote him out. Banish him from American politics. Yes just vote him out so he goes away.”Words have meaning. And she knew what she said. She couldn't care less if Trump is voted out or "TAKEN OUT" by whatever means necessary. Ballots (real and counterfeit) or Bullets. Speaking of Ballots or/and Bullets, consider this: Nice to know that the Postal Union Boss, the crook in charge of the idlers and hacks who are handling millions of mail in ballots considers Trump "AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT" Yeah, I'm sure he doesn't mean that, of course not! Feh. Meh, they're both just meaningless, venal apparatchiks, but from the lowliest toilet attendant in the lowliest office of the lowliest bureaucracy all the way to the top of the heap – Whoever the hell is running this country – taking out Trump and the movement he inspired to reverse the course of the past 100 to 200 years is to be EXTINGUISHED with extreme prejudice. Because existential threat!!! To paraphrase the late great Pete Clemenza, "Extinguish. That's a bad word for you to use. You better be careful we don't EXTINGUISH you, Raimondo. I'm sure I will be afforded the same courtesy by Mitzi Baryshnikov et al as she afforded Raimondo. yeah, sure. Remember, our speech is violence. Have a good day, and stay safe if you're anywhere near the Hurricane's track.

Hurricane Helene live updates: Airports, colleges close in Florida as potential Category 4 storm expected to wreak ‘unprecedented damage’ - Miller had the cooperation of the Army Secretary, Ryan McCarthy, who agreed that the “optics” of having the National Guard present to maintain order was bad, and that it was better to disobey the president’s direct request in order to do what they thought should be done. In other words, prior to January 6th there was an organized insurrection within the command structure of the U.S. military and the Capitol police to disobey the president. This action was a outright violaion of the oaths these military officials took to defense and obey the Constitution. Trump was the head of the executive branch of government, elected legally, and thus he had full authority. The only answer these officials should have given Trump when he asked for the National Guard should have been, “How many?” And in fact, the interviews show that Trump did exactly that, specifying that he thought 10,000 troops would be necessary. Instead, the Pentagon approved less than 400 DC guard troops, and these were only to be used for traffic control. It then did little to prepare for a call out should the protest turn violent, and thus took many hours to deploy when it finally moved to act.
The real insurrection on Jan 6, 2021 was within the government, against Trump

Top Story
- Caroline Ellison, Sam Bankman-Fried's right-hand woman in the FTX kerfuffle, has been sentenced to two years in prison for her part in the fuffling and ordered to pay $11 billion in restitution. (Ars Technica)
That restitution order confused me, because that's the entire amount under management by FTX at the time it collapsed, and (thanks to the continuing rise in Bitcoin prices) all the customers have already been made whole, with interest.
Ellison certainly doesn't have $11 billion, and there is little prospect of her ever having $11 billion.
What it means, rather, is that if Ellison has squirreled away a few million from the collapse, the court has already laid claim to it.

Fake Leftwing Police Group Is Quickly Shammed Together to Give Kamala Harris a Fake Police Endorsement
It's a lie, of course.
Deb Heine:
Two weeks after after the National Fraternal Order of Police (NFOP) endorsed former President Donald Trump, a newly formed liberal police leadership organization has endorsed Kamala Harris, who supported the "Defund the Police" movement, for the 2024 presidential election.Are we sure she's rabidly leftwing?
The Fraternal Order of Police officially endorsed Trump for President on September 6, citing overwhelming support for the former president among its 377,000 members.
On Monday, the pro-Harris-Walz X account "Harris Wins" excitedly shared on X that Harris had won some law enforcement support of her own: "The Police Leaders for Community Safety just announced they are endorsing Kamala Harris over Donald Trump. Law enforcement agencies do not want to support a convicted felon. This is huge," it said. The notoriously misleading and deceptive "Kamala HQ" X account also trumpeted the news that a "leading law enforcement group" had endorsed Harris. NJ.com also reported the news, inaccurately stating in its headline: "Harris gets stunning endorsement from group that normally backs Trump."
In truth, "Police Leaders for Community Safety" is a very small national advocacy (501(c)4) nonprofit that has never endorsed Trump or anyone else. The group was only recently activated in June of 2024, and is headed by former UW-Madison Police Chief Sue Riseling, whose rabidly left-wing, anti-Trump proclivities are openly on display on social media.
While the NFOP boasts more than 377,000 members, the newly formed Police Leaders for Community Safety claims to made up of "50 prominent law enforcement leaders."See the article for some of this childless cat-lady's social media provocations. By the way, she retired from the force in... 2016. "Fifty Former Police Intelligence Experts agree..." She need the lies. As this guy on CNN shows, she's the worst-polling Democrat against Donald Trump of the three opponents. Here's another major lie: Democrats keep claiming that the last nine months under Trump -- when covid was raging, and Democrats were demanding a complete civilization-collapsing economic shutdown -- represent his entire term. And they point to some bad numbers during that period, and say: Wow, the Harris-Biden economy was so much better you guys!

Gallup: The Polling Environment Is Very Favorable to Republicans
I haven't been covering the polls because a lot of them favor Kamala. Not all of them. There's not a clear advantage, really.
But this Gallup polling is interesting. Gallup finds that its proxies for voter intention -- stuff like party identification, or answers to questions like "which party is better able to handle the most important issues?" -- all point to a Republican win (or, in a few cases, show no advantage for either party).Nearly all Gallup measures that have shown some relationship to past presidential election outcomes or that speak to current perceptions of the two major parties favor the Republican Party over the Democratic Party. Chief among these are Republican advantages in U.S. adults' party identification and leanings, the belief that the GOP rather than the Democratic Party is better able to handle the most important problem facing the country, Americans' dissatisfaction with the state of the nation, and negative evaluations of the economy with a Democratic administration in office. The following is a review of these key measures in 2024, primarily from a Sept. 3-15 Gallup poll, compared with the same measures in past presidential election years.Here's the big one: Which party do you identify with? Right now, we're in one of those rare situations where more people say they're Republican than Democrat.
More U.S. adults identify as Republican or say they lean toward the Republican Party (48%) than identify as or lean Democratic (45%). Those figures are based on an average of Gallup polls taken during the third quarter (July to September) to minimize poll-to-poll variation in party identification estimates and to provide more reliable comparisons across presidential years given the different timings of the two major party conventions in July, August or September. Party affiliation and voting are strongly predictive of individuals' vote choices, with the vast majority of identifiers and leaners voting for the candidate of their preferred party. At the aggregate level, there are typically more Democrats and Democratic leaners than Republicans and Republican leaners in the U.S. adult population. Democrats have won presidential elections in years in which they had larger-than-normal advantages in party affiliation, including 1992, 1996, 2008, 2012 and 2020. In years when the advantage was narrower -- 2004 and 2016, for example -- Republicans won in the electoral college if not also the popular vote. Republicans previously have not had an outright advantage in party affiliation during the third quarter of a presidential election year, and they have rarely outnumbered Democrats in election and nonelection years over the past three decades.Read the full article for more. The below chart shows that the most strongly predictive and even the moderately predictive measures favor Republicans, and Democrats only manage to tie on a few less-important metrics.
Three separate measures of party performance on issues favor the Republican Party by at least a modest margin. By 46% to 41%, Americans say the Republican Party is better able than the Democratic Party to address what they think is the most important problem facing the country. The top issues Americans currently name as the most important are ones that tend to favor the GOP, including the economy (24%), immigration (22%), the government (17%) and inflation (15%). This measure has been highly predictive of election outcomes in Gallup trends dating back to 1948. The party rated as better at handling the most important problem has won all but three presidential elections since that year. The question was not asked in 2000, and the two parties tied in 1980, when inflation was the top issue. The only time the measure was out of sync with the outcome was in 1948, when Americans believed the Republican Party was better able to handle the most important problem (international issues) but returned Democratic incumbent Harry Truman to office. Gallup also tracks perceptions of which party can best handle economic and international matters, broadly. Americans currently give the Republican Party a six-percentage-point edge, 50% to 44%, as the party they think would do a better job of keeping the country prosperous. Gallup has asked this question since 1951. In 16 presidential elections since then when one party has had at least a minimal advantage on this measure, that party has won 12 times. The exceptions were 1952, 1968, 1980 and 2000. The question was not asked in 2004, and the parties were tied in 1956. Republicans hold a more substantial advantage of 14 points (54% to 40%) as the party Americans believe is better able to keep the nation safe from terrorism and other international threats. Republicans have led on this question all years it has been asked (dating back to 2002) except 2007 and 2012. Gallup has a limited history of asking this question in presidential election years. The 14-point Republican lead this year is larger than in any previous presidential election year. The prior highs were seven points in 2008 (a year Republicans lost) and 2016 (a year Republicans won). In 2012 (when the parties were tied) and 2020 (when Republicans had a four-point advantage), the Democratic candidate won the presidential election.
The big picture: The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index fell almost 7 points to 98.7 in September -- the biggest monthly drop since September 2021. Why it matters: It's not just monetary policy officials who are worried about a labor market slowdown. Consumers became more pessimistic about the economy this month than in years past -- largely because of a darkening outlook on employment.Best economy since nineteen aughty-naught, Fat.
Advertisement What they're saying: The deterioration "likely reflected consumers' concerns about the labor market and reactions to fewer hours, slower payroll increases, fewer job openings," Dana Peterson, the group's chief economist, said in a release.

"Bombshell" Transcripts Show That Trump Urged Milley to Deploy Troops to Capitol on January 6th -- the Worst Day in American History -- but Milley Refused Due to "Politics"
Every single word they say is a lie, including the the's and the and's.
Meanwhile, the FBI agent assigned to investigate the first assassination attempt is, of course, a bitter, hardcore Trump and Republican hater, because you want to make sure this "investigation" is being handled by a fellow cultist.
Then-President Donald Trump gave clear instructions to Pentagon brass days before the Jan. 6 riots to "do whatever it takes" to keep the U.S. Capitol safe, including deploying National Guard or active-duty troops, but top officials did not comply because of political concerns, according to transcripts of bombshell interviews conducted by the Defense Department's chief watchdog that shine new light on government disfunction ahead of the historic tragedy.
Gen. Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff, confirmed to the Pentagon inspector general three years ago that during a Jan. 3, 2021, Oval Office meeting Trump pre-approved the use of National Guard or active duty troops to keep peace in the nation's capital on the day Congress was to certify the results of the 2020 election. Milley's interviews were among several key to transcripts obtained by House Administration Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., and shared with Just the News. "The President just says, 'Hey look at this. It's going to be a large amount of protesters come in here on the 6th, and make sure that you have sufficient National Guard or Soldiers to make sure it's a safe event,'" Milley told the inspector general in one of two interviews he did in spring 2021 during a probe of the Pentagon's response to Jan. 6. Milley said then-Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller, himself a former general, assured Trump there was an adequate safety plan for Pentagon assistance to Washington, D.C. "Miller responds by saying, 'Hey, we've got a plan, and we've got it covered.' And that's about it," Milley recalled.
Milley confirmed a second time during the interviews that Trump was clear in his wishes. "It was just what I just described, which was, 'Hey, I don't care if you use Guard, or soldiers, active-duty soldiers, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it's safe," the general told the IG.
The transcripts of Milley's April 8, 2021, and April 16, 2021, interviews confirm reporting by Just the News two years ago that Trump wanted troops to keep the capital city safe. But other transcripts gathered by Loudermilk during his subcommittee's ongoing probe of Jan. 6 security failures show civilian leadership at the Pentagon admitt[ing] openly they would not comply with Trump's wishes, with some saying they did not like the optics of armed soldiers or Guardsmen roaming the Capitol with weapons during what was supposed to be a peaceful transition of power. "There was absolutely -- there is absolutely no way I was putting U.S. military forces at the Capitol, period," Miller told the inspector general during his March 2021 interview. ... Miller admitted there was a political calculus to his decision not to deploy troops near or at the Capitol ahead of time for preventative security. "I hate to use the word optics because it's been used and so prejudicially and negatively. It wasn't the optics. It was like there was would have been huge political consequences that, because that's what I got paid to do. Is I had the factor in the politics of this and that was my concern is the situation does not warrant at this time U.S. military forces," he explained. ... Loudermilk said he is deeply concerned that Pentagon officials substituted their own personal politics for the president's instructions. "President Trump directed senior DoD leaders to ensure events on J6 be safe. They ignored his guidance, prioritized optics concerns over security, and pushed a flawed narrative in their IG report," he wrote on the X social platform last week. "The American people deserve the full truth."
Of course. It's all about January 6th. That is the hill the Deep State has decided to attack America from.
The FBI agent leading the investigation into the second Trump assassination attempt was probed for allegedly targeting conservative agents for their viewpoints and retaliating against them for making protected disclosures as whistleblowers, according to a new letter delivered to Congress by a government watchdog which represents several FBI whistleblowers.
The group--Empower Oversight--sent the letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan Thursday ahead of a planned hearing in the Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government on September 25 about the retaliation allegations. The group's president, Tristan Leavitt, wrote that Jeffrey Veltri, current Special Agent in Charge of the Miami field office and agent leading the investigation into the second Trump assassination attempt, was at the center of the bureau's retaliation against whistleblowers and agents that held conservative views, according to information from new whistleblowers from the FBI's Security Division--known as SecD. Veltri headed that division when he served as Deputy Assistant Director and Section Chief of SecD. He worked with the division since 2021 when he was appointed section chief of the Security Integrity and Investigations Section of the division. In March, FBI Director Christopher Wray appointed Veltri to lead the Miami Field Office. However, Leavitt says Veltri's appointment to that role was delayed because the Congress began to probe the FBI over allegations that the bureau was improperly suspending clearances. At the time, the FBI leadership also reportedly learned of an internal investigation into Veltri for retaliation against an investigator in his division for blowing the whistle. Several bureau whistleblowers--including Marcus Allen, Garrett O'Boyle, and Steve Friend--previously shared allegations with Congress that FBI officials retaliated against them for expressing concern about how the investigative handled Jan. 6 cases and allegedly targeted pro-life groups in the wake of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

"P Diddy's" Former Bodyguard: Politicians Were At the Pervert's "Freak Off" Parties. This Goes A Lot Higher Than "Diddy."
This is all an anti-gay racist conspiracy theory, you bigots. Stop reading the words I'm writing, racists.
This is all an anti-gay racist conspiracy theory, you bigots. Stop reading the words I'm writing, racists.
There are reports that the male prostitutes were not there primarily to service the women.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' former bodyguard revealed the disgraced rap mogul kept tapes of politicians taking part in his infamous 'freak off' sessions, and claimed his arrest is tied to an alleged corruption scandal currently gripping New York City politics. Gene Deal, a former insider who protected Diddy through the 1990s, told The Art of Dialogue podcast that the producer's indictment could expose high-profile officials and celebrities in the Big Apple. 'This is all bigger than Diddy,' he said, without naming who the alleged tapes are of. He spoke out in the days after Diddy was indicted in New York and charged with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, as he now faces the prospect of decades behind bars.
The charges against Diddy came six months after his mansions in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by federal agents, where officers said they found over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant allegedly used in the 'freak off' sessions. The 'freak offs' would see Diddy ply women with drugs before coercing them into marathon sexual performances with male prostitutes, according to prosecutors.
There are other claims being discussed. Many come from a book which is supposedly compiled from the diaries of "P Diddy's" now-dead ex-wife Kim Porter. But she didn't publish that; a "reporter" claims he had her old diaries, and he published it as "her" book. It's hard to know whether to credit it as real. A lot of people the book makes allegations about are denying that this is a real book, but then, they have reason to say that. A lot of the allegations have to do with P Diddy coercing not just women but men, often young rappers, into sex with him. Or the male prostitutes he paid to be at the "freak offs." And of course: that he videotaped everyone having sex with prostitutes or other attendees at his "freak offs" for blackmail purposes.
Speculation has fallen on alleged 'tapes' of these sessions, however prosecutors have not commented on them being filmed. Asked if there are any celebrities on alleged 'freak off' tapes, Deal responded: '(Diddy) gave celebrity parties, so what do you think?' Deal said that while the raids specifically targeted Diddy's properties, the arrests were part of something that is 'bigger than Diddy.' He noted that despite allegations of criminal wrongdoing in lawsuits, including one brought by Diddy's ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, prosecutors in California did not bring charges. Instead, the charges were brought in New York, which Deal said he believes is linked to a slate of resignations and allegations of corruption among Big Apple officials.
The bodyguard implied that Diddy himself was victimized early in his career by other powerful music industry figures, and said he blames the ones who 'trained him and taught him the music business' for Diddy's alleged crimes. 'Puff wasn't born a monster, he was made into a monster,' he said. 'He was made into a monster because of what happened to him, and because of the things he had to do. 'To keep it frank, he was doing to other people what was done to him... that's a learned behavior.' He claimed: 'They was heavy into the drugs, they was heavy into beating women, and doing things at that crazy stage that's going to make him think he can get away with the same things that they was getting away with back then.'

Free Beacon: Springfield Has Real Problems Due to Immigration (and the Leftwing Press Isn't Interested in Reporting On It)
It's not just that they're eating the cats.
Of course. It's all by design. Democrats themselves are starting to complain of open borders. The only way to keep them on Team Blue is to start moving all of the illegals to red counties, which were never going to vote for Biden, or now Harris, anyway. Don't worry, though: Businesses that serve/exploit illegals are thriving. See the article for that. Just the News reports that this isn't just a problem in Springfield. Haitians and other illegals are being airdropped into smaller (redder) towns around the country.
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio--"If we only had 5,000, I wouldn't be talking to you right now," says Reverend Barron--real name Kenneth Selig--in what's become a common refrain in the embattled city of Springfield, Ohio.
Barron, a street preacher, food truck owner, and former warehouse manager, has emerged as a colorful champion for the small city as it struggles through an unprecedented transformation. As many as 20,000 Haitian immigrants, city officials say, have arrived in Springfield since the pandemic, swelling its population to almost 80,000. Times were already tough before the rumors started swirling about migrants eating cats, dogs, and geese. "Look man, why would they be eating animals? They have vouchers, they're displacing people here, that's the problem," Barron said. "We can have town meetings with our pitchforks, yelling, but I'm over that. Reasonable men need to sit down and think of a solution." Barron, a burly figure with denim overalls, a red hat, and a great white beard, went viral on social media earlier this month when he gave a fiery speech at a town meeting about the city's growing homeless population. The video has 9.5 million views on X. "I don't know of a single homeless Haitian in this town because they all got vouchers," he bellowed at the city elders. "I'd like to show you the whole bunch of people who've been displaced." Springfield has been inundated with reporters from around the world in recent days--Barron says someone from the World Economic Forum, an organization with which he was not familiar, even rang him up--after J.D. Vance tweeted out the pet-eating rumors. The following evening, Donald Trump declared at a debate that "they're eating the pets." To be sure, many Springfield residents swear that the city's park used to have geese and a lot more ducks. And, to be sure, there was not a single goose to be found on Tuesday afternoon and a relatively paltry number of other waterfowl. (Nor were there any visible incidents of cats or dogs on a Weber.) But none of that, despite the media maelstrom, matters much to those in Springfield who spoke with the Washington Free Beacon. They describe a city in crisis as it struggles to absorb the thousands of Haitians granted Temporary Protected Status by the Biden-Harris administration. If avian welfare was Springfield's primary trouble, says Mark Sanders, a school bus driver, the city wouldn't need much help. But the tabloid-like attention on alleged animal cruelty only serves to distract from a litany of crises that locals say their leaders are ignoring. "We're a multicultural city, but it's just too many and our leaders are trying to minimize the impact," said Sanders. "It's like fertilizer mixed with diesel fuel." Rents are rising faster than national trends, which local landlords attribute to Haitian renters who, aided by left-wing charities, have successfully applied for Section 8 housing vouchers. The wait list for these vouchers is now closed. Crime was already higher in Springfield than most similarly sized cities, but residents are now dealing with a scourge of traffic violations. Ohio governor Mike DeWine (R.) wrote Friday in the New York Times (not widely read in Springfield) that "ensuring that Haitians learn how to drive safely and understand our driving customs and traffic laws remains a top priority." Social services are overwhelmed, and some Springfield residents are blaming their layoffs on the flood of cheap Haitian labor, an allegation supported by Springfield's curiously lethargic wage growth since 2022. And some of the city's most vulnerable populations say they've been pushed aside. "They're taking attention away from people like me," said a homeless woman who called herself Mama D. "I don't dislike the Haitians, but it's harder for us to get houses now. The cheapest apartments go for $700 a month now." A common defense from sympathetic parties is that the Haitians are here to work. That is largely true, although no one believes there are 20,000 vacant positions in the county. ... On Tuesday afternoon, this reporter saw a stream of Haitians, many with children, entering and leaving the city's welfare office at a constant pace. Makeshift signs outside the building feature instructions in Haitian Creole. ... Much attention has been paid in the last year to megacities like New York and Chicago flailing in the face of a migrant surge. But it's much smaller places like Springfield that may have it the worst.
Read the whole thing. The Disinformation Media won't report on any of these verifiable problems -- they'll just shriek infinitely about cat-claims being "debunked." Meanwhile, a Haitian NGO has filed a warrant for the arrest of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance.
Haitians are not just arriving in Springfield, Ohio, but also in small rural towns nationwide as a result of several Biden-Harris administration policies.
Since fiscal 2021, more than 485,000 Haitian illegal border crossers, a record, have been reported by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The overwhelming majority were reported this fiscal year, nearly 216,000, compared to 48,727 in fiscal 2021. Since fiscal 2021 through August, the majority have been apprehended at the southwest border of nearly 262,000, followed by nearly 221,000 nationwide and nearly 2,300 at the northern border, according to the data. Additionally, since July, 205,000 Haitians have been released through the CHNV parole program, according to CBP data. Of the more than 765,000 illegal foreign nationals released into the country through the CBP One app, the top nationality is Haitian. Through these programs, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas also extended Temporary Permanent Status to them and granted work authorization. All of these programs are illegal, state attorneys general who've sued to stop them, argue. U.S. House Republicans also cited them as among the many illegal actions Mayorkas caused them to impeach him. Mayorkas has since only expanded the programs and extended TPS. ... Springfield residents have argued the overwhelming majority of Haitians are enrolling in welfare and not working; have caused increased crime and there aren't enough police to deal with it; and residents are being killed by Haitian drivers. Rue has expressed concerns about the dangerous driving conditions, saying, "I have almost been hit myself." In the last three years, Springfield's 50,000 population has swelled by roughly 20,000. City officials claim they are there "legally" through TPS through Feb. 3, 2026. In Sylacauga, Alabama, residents have been demanding answers about busloads of Haitians being dropped into their community. At a Sept. 5 city council meeting, City Council President Tiffany Nix shut down a meeting and made the issue about race. "We have no reason to treat people differently because of how they look," she said. "There's no reason for us to discuss this any further." She also said, "I'm going to welcome anybody to Sylacauga that wants to come to Sylacauga," 1819 News reported. Sylacauga resident David Phillips said, "there is no way the State Department can vet these people," adding that they were coming from a failed state and potentially dangerous. Residents continue to speak out. At a Sept. 17 meeting, Nix said Haitians were there on 18-month visas. A meeting has also been scheduled with state and federal lawmakers.
In Coffee County, one resident claimed, "30,000 illegal aliens are scheduled to arrive in the first week of October, 1,000 of them in Baldwin County," and that human trafficking was involved, 1819 News reported.
In the state of Ohio, private citizens have the ability to legally file criminal charges. Tuesday, a Haitian nonprofit called Haitian Bridge Alliance did just that, bringing criminal charges against former President Donald Trump and Ohio Sen. JD Vance who are currently running for president and vice president on the GOP ticket. The bench memorandum and supporting affidavit filed at Clark County Municipal Court comes following unfounded claims from both men regarding the large immigrant population in Springfield, Ohio. The attorney for the organization says there is probable cause the two committed crimes and they want a judge to affirm that, file charges and issue arrest warrants for both men. The charges are as follows, as laid out by the Chandra Law Firm who is representing the group: Disrupting public service in violation of R.C. 2909.04(A) and (B) by causing widespread bomb and other threats that resulted in massive disruptions to the public services in Springfield, Ohio;I can't wait to start using lawfare against all of our political opponents. I can't wait.
Making false alarms in violation of R.C. 2917.32(A) by knowingly causing alarm in the Springfield community by continuing to repeat lies that state and local officials have said were false;
Committing telecommunications harassment in violation of R.C. 2917.21(A) and S.C.O. § 537.08 by spreading claims they know to be false during the presidential debate, campaign rallies, nationally televised interviews, and social media;
Committing aggravated menacing in violation R.C. 2903.21(A) by knowingly making intimidating statements with the intent to abuse, threaten, or harass the recipients, including Trump's threat to deport immigrants who are here legally to Venezuela, a land they have never known;
Committing aggravated menacing in violation of R.C. 2903.21(A) by knowingly causing others to falsely believe that members of Springfield's Haitian community would cause serious physical harm to the person or property of others in Springfield; and
Violating the prohibition against complicity, R.C. 2923.03(A) and S.C.O. § 501.10, by conspiring with one another and spreading vicious lies that caused innocent parties to be parties to their various crimes. "We want the judge to issue arrest warrants for Trump and Vance immediately, there is probable cause," lead counsel Subodh Chandra told the FOX 8 I-Team Tuesday. "The Haitian community is suffering in fear because of Trump and Vance's relentless, irresponsible, false alarms, and public services have been disrupted," Chandra said in a statement. "Trump and Vance must be held accountable to the rule of law. Anyone else who wreaked havoc the way they did would have been arrested by now."

Confirmed Dum-Dum and 9/10 Republican Bill Barr "Dumbfounded" at DOJ Releasing "Finish the Job" Letter of Incitement from Second Assassin
Barr the Dum-Dum doesn't understand why the Good Patriots of the DOJ would attempt to incite further assassination attempts on the man it's been framing and prosecuting for eight years now.
Another useless idiot who does not know What Time It Is.
PJMedia's Matt Margolis says the DOJ effectively put a bounty on Trump's head. $150,000 worth of bounty.And the son of Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., is blasting the Department of Justice for releasing the letter. "This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump," the letter began, "but I am so sorry I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster." "It is up to you now to finish the job, and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can compete the job," the letter continues. "Everyone across the globe from the younger to the oldest know that Trump is unfit to be anything, much less a U.S. president. U.S. presidents must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America and be kind, caring and selfless and always stand for humanity." It certainly is curious why the Biden-Harris administration released this letter publicly, when, more often than not, the manifestos of killers are kept under wraps as much as possible. For example the manifesto of the Covenant School shooter has yet to be fully released, despite the fact that there is significant public interest in the transgender shooter's motives. So far, only small portions of her writings have managed to be released or leaked.
Advertisement Related: Second Trump Shooter Wrote a Chilling Letter Before Assassination Attempt It's also curious that this letter would be released when the Biden administration has not been cooperating with the state of Florida's own investigation. During an interview with Fox News, Laura Ingraham asked Governor Ron DeSantis if federal authorities were assisting Florida's efforts and if he was concerned about the lack of information. "The answer is no, they're not being cooperative. Yes, I am concerned. I mean, for example, we were rebuffed. Our investigators were rebuffed just going to the fence line outside of Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach," DeSantis told her.
Barr the Dum-Dum doesn't understand why the Good Patriots of the DOJ would attempt to incite further assassination attempts on the man it's been framing and prosecuting for eight years now.
Former Attorney General William Barr says he is "dumbfounded" that the Justice Department released a chilling letter penned by would-be assassin Ryan Wesley Routh on Monday, calling the decision "rash" and serving no purpose "other than to risk inciting further violence." ... The box contained several handwritten letters as well as ammunition, among other things. One of the letters, addressed "Dear World," admitted to an assassination attempt on Trump. He also offered money to anyone willing to finish the job. "I was dumbfounded that the DOJ made public this morning the contents of the letter that, Ryan Routh, left with an acquaintance prior to the attempted assassination of former President Trump," Barr said in a statement to Fox News Digital.Some people continue believing it's 2003 and we're just one tax cut away from unifying the country. We call these people "National Review writers."
"The letter calls on people to 'finish the job' of killing President Trump, attempts to rouse people in incendiary terms to do so, and offers $150,000 to anyone who succeeds. There was no apparent justification for releasing this information at this stage," he continued. Barr, who served during both the Trump and George H. W. Bush administrations, says that "DOJ had more than enough evidence to have Routh detained pending trial, without publicizing these details." "Even if DOJ thought it important to provide the letter to the court, it could have redacted inflammatory material or arranged to have the letter submitted under seal. It was rash to put out this letter in the midst of an election during which two attempts on the life of President Trump had been made," Barr said.

Wednesday Morning Rant
Maximum Overdrive
In 1986's Maximum Overdrive, Earth's passage through a comet trail results in machinery of all kinds becoming sentient and then going on a global killing spree, bent on destroying all humans. This goes on for a few days, with everything from trucks to vending machines hunting down and killing people to the best of their ability. The movie was a flop, but also became a minor cultural reference. When machinery runs amok, it's "Maximum Overdrive."
There's no comet, but we may be engineering our way into a literal "Maximum Overdrive" scenario. That is, at least, a fear being discussed by the United States Department of Commerce. In a statement published by the White House on Monday, Commerce is planning to pursue a sweeping "rule change" for suppliers of "smart" vehicle technologies. The short version: no "smart" or autonomous vehicle tech from Red Chinese or Russian suppliers by model year 2027 (software) or 2030 (hardware).
