Flotsam and Jetsam - Today's the Day

Ace, Polls Are Made for Strippers and They Get Greasy and Slippery Around Closing Time, "The New York Times admits that Republicans are 30% less likely to respond to polls at all. And if a group disfavored by the media party refuses to answer at such high rates -- what is the skew within that group? That is, among the Republicans who do answer, is it the case that Republicans voting Democrat are the most likely "Republicans" to answer a leftwing pollster's questions?" W. Joseph Campbell @wjosephcampbell, has "Closing observations about polls and their prominence in 2026 midterms."

The Mayhem in Michigan is still getting the lion's share of the coverage. Dr. Maalouf @realMaalouf, "Mariam Odeh, a former staffer on Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign, is currently facing federal charges alongside 11 other anti-Israel activists accused of vandalizing the homes of members of Michigan’s Jewish and pro-Israel community and plotting to poison and murder them and their families. Jars containing noxious chemicals were thrown into family homes. Windows were smashed. Homes were marked with the Hamas red inverted triangle, designating them as targets for death.

You try to send the “I’m not with him” vibe." Rusty Weiss at RedState thinks El-Sayed’s Answer on Men in Girls’ Locker Rooms Is the Worst Thing Any Sane Parent Could Imagine. Capt.

Maryland, My Maryland

From Cathy Salgado at PJM, Maryland Wokies Released MS-13 Member Charged With Attempted Murder, Defying ICE

Maryland sanctuary politicians released a gang member who was accused of attempted murder and sexual assault of a child. 

According to a Department of Homeland Security press release, the Maryland wokies were trying to protect the MS-13 member accused of raping a child from being taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In Democrat-controlled cities, counties, and states, officials and judges will often release the most dangerous and vile illegal alien criminals after ICE files detainer requests for them. Their ideology is so perverse that they find it more important to undermine ICE than to ensure that illegal alien criminals face justice and are incapable of harming more Americans.

DHS explained in an October 30 press release:
On December 16, 2025, ICE lodged a detainer against Allan Adonay Contreras-Vasquez, an illegal alien from Honduras and MS-13 member, while he was in the custody of the Prince George’s County Detention Center in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. He had been arrested following an assault in Hyattsville, Maryland, allegedly carried out by Contreras-Vasquez and five other suspects, in which the victim was stalked after getting off a bus before being stabbed multiple times.
Prince George’s County officials refused to respect the detainer request and hand Contreras-Vasquez over to ICE. Instead, they released Contreras-Vasquez. Last February, however, he faced charges of attempted first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit second-degree murder, first-degree assault, conspiracy to commit first-degree assault, second-degree assault, and dangerous weapon with intent to injure. 
 
In the time that elapsed between Contreras-Vasquez’s release and the announcement of the charges, he allegedly committed another horrific crime. A witness testified that he raped a 13-year-old girl in January 2026. Prince George’s County finally got around to arresting Contreras-Vasquez again in May 2026, but had already released him again by June. DHS also stated that he originally entered the country in 2023 under the Biden administration, which released him into our country. Contreras-Vasquez is a Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) affiliate, and the Trump administration has designated the gang as a global terrorist organization.

ICE is still trying to track Contreras-Vasquez down, hence the new press release, as the agency seeks assistance and information, since Maryland authorities will not offer any.

We have a chance to fix some of this tomorrow, but I'm not hopeful.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Mohammed Abdulrahmen El-Sayed Betrayed!

PJM's Matt Margolis reports on this HUGE Development in Michigan that Could Be the Nail in the Coffin of El-Sayed’s Campaign. Fox News @FoxNews, "BREAKING: A surprise political twist in Michigan as Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens appears alongside Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers at a Detroit church, abandoning plans to attend a unity event with Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed. @GarrettTenney reports the Rogers campaign reached out to Stevens at the last minute following a dispute over a controversial pro-El-Sayed PAC ad that Stevens criticized as antisemitic. El-Sayed has since said he disagrees with the ad, but Stevens has also demanded an apology for his own past remarks about Israel. The unexpected appearance comes just two days before voters head to the polls." Capt. Ed at Hat Hair notes Stevens Appears With Rogers After El-Sayed Snub; UPDATE: Full Endorsement. At Althouse goes to the NYT for "The Democratic representative who lost a primary fight against Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the progressive Democratic Senate nominee in Michigan, endorsed his Republican opponent on Sunday...." NYPo, El Sayed courted voters at mosques where speakers dubbed US ‘House of Satan’ and called for ‘final annihilation of Jews.’ From Spiked, Abdul El-Sayed: tribune of America’s Islamo-left, "Palestine brain rot has corrupted the Democrats." Sarah Hoyt at Insty says IF YOU VOTE IN MICHIGAN, STOP LAUGHING AND GET OUT THE VOTE FOR ROGERS: The El-Sayed-Haley Stevens Campaign Event Has Devolved Into Total Blood Sports. Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman, "JUST IN: Another Michigan Democrat just crossed over. State Rep. Karen Whitsett is endorsing the Republican, Mike Rogers, and rejecting El Sayed. When Democrats in Detroit start walking away, the party has a problem. Michigan, go finish it." Hugh Hewitt @hughhewitt, "Superb question by Ross Douthat and his dismissiveness of the El-Sayed go-to party trick —asking a question instead of answering one— leads AES into a meandering and absurd answer which leaves everyone aware that he will support boys in girls’ sports."

Why? “Well because they are going to find out about it on the internet anyway.”" Matt Vespa at TownHall sees The Left Has a Complete and Total Meltdown Over Haley Stevens Endorsing Mike Rogers. Scott Jennings @ScottJenningsKY, "But there’s more - here’s James Carville: “The Democrats don’t even think you [Stevens] are worth a used condom.” Never seen anything like the anti-woman crash out going on rn.

John Reese - Person of Interest @Rickisback_ON_X, "Don't worry Alaskans, it's totally normal for a guy running for the US Senate to; not actively campaign, raise only $35K and give most of it to his campaign lawyers, and then when questioned about his authenticity, he flees his home and refuses interviews with anyone."

Raymond @esrtweet, "Here's how this will work if the Democrats retake the house: There will be a big push for AI regulations that lock out open-weight and open-source AI models. The lie that will be told is that they're legislating for "safety". The reality will be massive amounts of money flowing from the cloud AI providers and AI-doomer nonprofits in a move actually designed to put a regulatory moat around the cloud providers' business models. "They want to put off the day when they're obsolescent as long as possible. Even if it means forfeiting the lead in the AI race to the Communist Chinese." Quote Andrew Curran @AndrewCurran_, "NYT: 'the lawmakers also signaled that if the Democrats retook the House in elections on Tuesday, the chamber was likely to shift away from its largely hands-off approach to artificial intelligence companies.'"Eric S. Raymond @esrtweet, "I warned you all about this. They will be lying. The actual goal of the big AI providers will be to outlaw open-source and open-weight AI in order to create a regulatory moat around their business, and have some hope of earning out their astronomical capital expenditures. The claims will be about safety and equity, the reality will be a money and power grab. Brace for the bullshit avalanche that's coming."
