Starting with Jan 6. fallout, Stacy McCain reports Congress Subpoenas Ali. No, not Mohammed Ali, rather Ali Alexander, "an organizer of the Stop
the Steal rally and conservative provocateur." He's not the only one, as Becky
Noble notes at the Political Insider, Now Democrats Are Issuing Subpoenas For January 6 Rally Organizers for their show trials. Allah Pundit at Haut Hair whines about Showdown: Bannon says he'll defy January 6 committee's subpoena and across da pond at Da Mail claims an EXCLUSIVE
'I stand with Trump': Steve Bannon tells the January 6 select committee that
he will NOT comply with their subpoena because the former president has
'executive privilege'. WaEx,
Trump to use executive privilege to block Jan. 6 subpoenas, but from Fox, Biden blocks Trump executive privilege claim on documents related to Jan.
6. No doubt setting up a series of court battles which will last beyond the
next election. As the New Yorker whines
The Battle of January 6th Has Just Begun
"Nine months after the storming of the Capitol, Trump is more popular with the
G.O.P. and his Big Lie is more widely believed." Remember when it was Al Gore,
Hillary Clinton, Stacy Abrams and virtually all Democrats believed in stolen
elections? Good times! At Twitchy, ‘Your tears, as ALWAYS, are delicious’: Rick Wilson throws a FIT in thread
admitting ‘Trump wins’ because 1/6 commission is ‘dead already’. Insty, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT IN AN OCCUPIED COUNTRY?
Bail for a school shooter? While Jan. 6 defendants languish in prison as
danger to the republic?. At Town Hall, Derek Hunter claims Democrats Attempt to Provoke Violence, thinking it's good for them at the election.
Star News reports Michigan State Senate Passes Voter ID Law. Racists! (Sorry, I couldn't help it, it's a reflex). At JTN, Mass mail-in voting fraught with risks of fraud, review of sweeping 2020 experiment reveals and at Da Wire Amanda Prestigiacomo (I like that name!) says Eight States Have Already Made Universal Mail-In Ballots Permanent. All bluer than bluebirds. Kaelen Deese at WaEx claims Rep. Andy Biggs claims 'we don't know' who won Arizona election during audit hearing. I think that's fair, there were far more questionable ballots than Biden's victory margin. Althouse likes this quote from Laura Ingraham, "I’ve always said that if you want to win an election, you have to win it on election night, okay?"
"But look, I don’t pretend to know the intricacies of how every state counted mail-in ballots and how they were certified. I don’t. But I do know that when you’re running for president, you have to have these legal challenges ready to go. Much as Bush did in 2000. The Trump folks wanted to exhaust every means. But at some point I think Joe Biden’s president."
Also from Althouse,"Democrats are winning more college-educated white voters and fewer non-college white voters, as pollster shorthand puts it, and Donald Trump supercharged this trend....", From "David Shor Is Telling Democrats What They Don’t Want to Hear" by Ezra Klein. Michael Barone claims Both Parties' Ignorance of Electoral Reality Has Led To Our Present Discontents. Probably fair, ignorance is the human condition, there's too much truth for us to know, and it's a moving target. Meanwhile, VodkaPundit at PJ Media VIP thinks Florida Redistricting Is GOP's 'Biggest Weapon' for Retaking Congress. I'll worry about Gerrymandering right after they fix Maryland.
At the Wombat's fresh In The Mailbox: 10.08.21, Paul Mirengoff at Power Line says Terry McAuliffe squirms. It couldn't happen to a nicer pol. Also, from the Weasel Zippers, Weasel Zippers: McAuliffe – Parents Concerned About CRT Are Racist, and McAuliffe Has Debt Consultant & Competitive Eater Stacy Abrams Stumping For Him. Paul Bedard at WaEx reports McAuliffe lead in Virginia cut to margin of error: 49%-45%. Time to stuff the mailboxes! Nicholas Ballasy at JTN, McAuliffe lead evaporates in Virginia as he smears critical race theory opponent as 'racist'. Wa Free Bee, Terry McAuliffe Taps Election Denier Stacey Abrams to Lecture Opponent on ‘Democracy’. But that was yesterday, and yesterday's gone! Dan McLaughlin at NR, Terry McAuliffe Keeps Digging on the 2000 Election Being Stolen.
Insty has FLASHBACKs, (don't we all?), NOV. 2, 2020: Will your ballot be safe? Computer experts sound warnings on America’s voting machines, Democrats question election results: ‘We just trust the machines, and we shouldn’t.’ and Democratic senators warned of potential ‘vote switching’ by Dominion voting machines prior to 2020 election.. Dominion’s suing Rudy Giuliani, but not these Democrats. But an “unbiased” voting machine company that only sues Republicans has kind of blown its credibility already. Kurt Schlichter at Town Hall wants to Regulate Big Tech the Right Way – Unleash the Lawyers.
It remains to be seen whether Garland’s memo is just a sop to a Democratic Party constituency, or signals a serious intent to violate the civil rights of parents who complain to local school boards. Either way, Glenn’s closing injunction is on the money:
[I]t’s a disgrace that such a campaign exists at all and that our public schools are under the control of people who think such a response to criticism justified or appropriate.
C. Bradley Thompson calls it A Declaration of War. At Town Hall, David Harsanyi claims the Biden Administration Is Trying to Intimidate Parents. I agree. Neo has More on the DOJ’s war against protesting parents – and on fighting back. As previously reported, according to Herr Professor Jacobsen, DOJ Attack On Parent Protest Movement Was Pre-Arranged Ambush, Says Letter Seeking Inspector General Investigation, and Sundance at CTH is on it too, America First Legal Requests IG Investigation of Merrick Garland Use of FBI To Target Parents – Letter Presents Evidence of White House and Education Activists Coordinating To Use DOJ As Weapon in 2022 Mid-Terms, From Jerry Dunleavy at WaEx, Garland son-in-law's race-obsessed education company urges schools to push lawmakers to adopt its ideas and stick taxpayers with tab. Conflict of interest much, Merrick?
From Fox, Va. school board sues moms after docs 'inadvertently and mistakenly' released through FOIA request. Quite a story, Moms FOIA schoolboard, board replies with redacted documents, Moms post documents on internet, board sues Moms, saying release was "inadvertant." The Supreme Court allowed Daniel Ellsberg to publish stolen Pentagon documents; I hope they'll allow these documents to be published, over the inevitable objection of the "wise Latina". The story doesn't even make it clear what's in them that the schoolboard doesn't want out. At Da Signal, ‘Arrest Me!’: Mom Challenges Attorney General’s Call for Probing Threats to School Boards
Rhode Island mom Nicole Solas says she is just one of many parents “with legitimate concerns about our kids’ education.”The process is the punishment.
Solas drew national attention earlier this year when her local school board in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, threatened to sue her over public record requests she made to learn what her local school district was teaching students. The school board ultimately opted against taking legal action against her.
But Solas made headlines again in August when a teachers union, the National Education Association Rhode Island, filed a lawsuit against her over the records requests.
Solas made the requests to determine whether her child would be taught about gender identity and critical race theory ideology, two controversial issues that have led to an increase in parental attendance at school board meetings across the country this year.
Parents “simply want to know what their kids are learning, and they want to have a say if what their kids are learning is not appropriate,” she says.
Solas is actively speaking out against Attorney General Merrick Garland’s order to the FBI and federal prosecutors to meet with federal, state, and local leaders to look into a “disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence” allegedly being made against “school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff.”
