Lots of mixed messages on elections today. CNS News says Biden Job Approval 38% -- Disapproval 59% "President Joe Biden's job approval rating has fallen below 40% for the first time and now sits at a personal low of 38%," reported Gallup." But according to that Eeyore AllahPundit at Haut Hair, Uh oh: Biden approval surges in Gallup poll to highest level in a year. Eric Lendrum at Am Great cries Yes, Republicans Are Blowing the Midterms, "If Republicans resort to business as usual, then they will once again do what they do best: lose a winnable election." Bets that the Republicans are screwing the pooch are generally safe. But Jim Newell at Slate (cited at Haut Hair) believes Dems have momentum but they still face long odds. J. Bob Smith at Am Think thinks The Senate is Very Much in Play for the GOP. At CNS News again, Pelosi: ‘Republicans Should Be Very, Very, Very Scared This Morning About Their Prospects’, but she kind of has to say that. AllahPundit again, RNC chief warns big donors: We're getting badly outspent and it might cost us the Senate but KT (also at Haut Hair) says Nervous DSCC leans on Obama for fundraising to keep control of Senate. From News Max, Obama Joins With Democrats' Midterm Fundraising Efforts. NPR worries Trump has raised millions. He may run in 2024, so where will all that money go? Scott McKay at Am Spec, Trump Is Not Wrong About Mitch McConnell, "He makes an obvious point that McConnell seems to miss: an opposition leader should try to, well, lead some opposition." It think it all means the summer recess is about to end, and politicos are waking up to the fact that there's an election ahead pretty soon, and it's time to motivate (or scare) the troops. A noted gadfly says Republicans have to stop obsessing over 2020 election, says ... Roger Stone (Capt. Ed at Haut Hair). Fight today's war, not yesterday's.

Complete Incoherence. WaPoo,
In fiery midterm speech, Biden says GOP’s turned toward ‘semi-fascism’, "It was some of the strongest language used by Biden, a politician long
known — and at times criticized for — his willingness to work with members of
the opposite party." He's always been an asshole. Did he just admit they stole
2020? 'Bonchie' at Red State, Biden Makes Eyebrow-Raising Comment About 'Stealing' Elections, "According to Biden, if Democrats retain Congress, they will pass
legislation to ensure “no one has the opportunity to steal an election
again.”" Althouse, When was the first time? ""[W]e'll pass election reform, and make sure no one, no one has an
opportunity to steal an election again." Said President Biden last night,

At ADN America, Nate Silver: 'Liberal public health elites' pushed back approval of COVID-19 vaccines to stop Trump, “If anything, approval should have been faster.” At Am Think, Dave Zuckerman thinks Bill Barr returns to make every conservative seethe with frustration. Barr wasn't perfect (no one is), but he was a decent AG. Curiously AllahPundit proposes (tongue only half in cheek), Liz Cheney for attorney general?. Umm, No. From Breitbart, Court Rejects Democrat Official’s Attempt to Keep 26K Dead People on Michigan Voter Rolls. Gee, I wonder why they want to keep dead voters?
John Sexton at Haut Hair hears that Charlie Crist called Gov. DeSantis a 'dictator' but the governor's response turned that on its head
Jeff Lord at Am Spec calls Charlie Crist Florida’s Hater-in-Chief "He oozes contempt for Floridians." At NYPo, Kathy Hochul’s call for 5.4M Republicans to leave New York is dangerous and disgusting "Gov. Kathy Hochul, who hasn’t proven shy about issuing orders, had one for the state’s Republicans this week — all 5.4 million of them: “Just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong, OK?” she said. “You are not New Yorkers.” But then, who would do all the work? Politico whines Dr. Oz shifts strategy as campaign ails, "After treading lightly for months, the celebrity doctor works to boost attention on his opponent’s health struggles." I shall not make fund of my opponents brain damage. Capt Ed notes a silver spoon populist, Fetterman: $35K private schools for we, public schools for thee? "The Democratic nominee for Senate in Pennsylvania has had a lot of fun poking GOP opponent Mehmet Oz for his wealth and disconnect from the working classes of the Keystone State. At the same time, Fetterman has opposed school choice for those same hoi polloi — but sent his own kids to tony private schools, the Washington Free Beacon’s Chuck Ross reports this morning."Reporter to Governor DeSantis: "[Charlie Crist] says you're a dictator. How do you respond to that?"

"The decision by Judge Bruce E. Reinhart came just hours after the Justice Department submitted its proposal for extensive redactions to the document.... He appeared to accept the requested cuts.... [T]he order said that he... found them to be 'narrowly tailored to serve the government’s legitimate interest in the integrity of the ongoing investigation.'" The NYT reports." I expect it to be mostly black except Trump . . . Russia . . . treason. Ace is Waiting For the Affidavit, "The affidavit is set to be released at noon. It was already a one-sided affair containing no evidence, just assertions by FBI agents. We all know how trustworthy the assertions they made in their FISA warrant application were. This will be redacted, to make it even more one-sided, if that's possible."
In fact, the Board may already be back. Back in June, the Biden administration announced, according to the New York Post, that a new disinformation team headed by none other than Kamala Harris would be focused on “developing programs and policies” that would protect “political figures” from “disinformation,” “abuse” and “harassment.” This disinformation panel includes Mayorkas, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Gestapo chief Merrick Garland and presumably is up and running, albeit with a studiously low profile, so as to avoid the outrage and uncomfortable First Amendment questions that did in the first Board.
A Kamala Harris project? Doomed.
On J6 the redoubtable Julie Kelly at Am Great say Republicans Don’t Get It, "Joe Biden and congressional Democrats are plowing new and dangerous ground. Meanwhile, the GOP is silent."
But contrary to his somber reflections, January 6 was very good for McConnell; he got exactly what he wanted after the tear gas smoke cleared that evening. As I explained here, not only did McConnell intentionally leave the Capitol largely unguarded, he warned of the irreparable damage to the republic if his Senate Republican colleagues demanded an audit of contested states—the “official proceeding” actually taking place when the building was breached. McConnell later cooed to a reporter that he had prevailed that day.
“Exhilarating” is how McConnell described his emotions after congressional Republicans, cowed by the four-hour disturbance, abandoned their plans to seek a 2020 election audit commission.
Broad+Liberty, Teacher fired after Jan. 6 controversy sues Allentown School District, alleges FBI involvement. At the rally but not the riot.
A former middle school teacher who claims he was fired for being in Washington D.C. on Jan. 6 to hear President Trump’s speech, yet did not set foot on the Capitol grounds, filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the Allentown School District.
Jason Moorehead is demanding a jury trial and seeks unspecified damages via the complaint filed in Commonwealth Court, tallying 600 pages when including exhibits, saying the school district sacked him over his political views. He previously taught social studies at Raub Middle School for sixteen years.
The filing includes a bombshell allegation that the first part of the district’s investigation was “at the behest and direction of the FBI. He was never informed of this fact, and was never informed of his right to counsel and against self-incrimination.”
The district contends it tried to bring Moorehead back into the fold after the investigation, but he refused to return to work. Moorehead says the invitation to return to work came with unacceptable conditions — namely that he “must undergo training in cultural competencies related to African American and Hispanic United States History,” according to a district document.
Capt. Ed, BREAKING: Powell declares war on inflation, predicts "pain" ahead; Updated: PCE index still near 40-year highs. "Looks like Joe Biden’s “Inflation Reduction Act” left Jerome Powell as underwhelmed as everyone else. Faced with the worst and longest inflationary cycle in decades, the Federal Reserve chair issued an unusually blunt statement this morning. The Fed will continue with its large rate increases until inflation entirely subsides, he pledged, regardless of how “pain”-ful it becomes:" Insty, EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: Stocks accelerate losses into the close as Dow plunges 1,000 points on Powell’s warning.

Oh no! It's as if citizens have the right to decide what their tax monies will be spent upon, rather than an intransigent civil service reactionary pink-haired leftist paid by those taxes!
A community wanted the local library that their tax dollars funded to stop lending out the gay pornographic graphic novel (comic book) "Gender Queer" (aka "Toni Morrison's Beloved, as Hot Air readers might know it, as that's the only way AllahPundit refers to it).
The librarian refused. The town defunded the library. The Washington Post is sad, and demands that underaged children have access to gay pornographic comic books.
