Just kind of going through the motions here, none of this really 'grabs' me. Wa Ex reports Former president in Ohio with JD Vance for speech. You can see it there if you want. WaPoo, In Ohio, Vance scrambles to ramp up campaign after mounting GOP criticism, "Although party strategists voice confidence Vance will still prevail, they say they fear he wasted precious time, requiring a financial bailout that limited resources for GOP candidates in other states." I take my WaPoo with an extra jigger of salt. Sundance at CTH reports President Trump Shares Article About a Trump v DeSantis Matchup "The ‘cut to the chase‘ aspect of whether Ron DeSantis is planning to run for the GOP nomination in 2024 is made clear when you realize just how much money the Florida governor has amassed. A standing total exceeding $200 million." That would fund a lot of flights to Martha's Vineyard. PM reports Mike Pompeo tells Chicago crowd he's prepping for 2024 run, ""Confirmed via a hundred sources, Mike Pompeo is telling people he wants to primary Trump," Jack Posobiec of Human Events Daily said back in October 2021." I don't see it as likely; he seems like a cabinet kind of guy, not the boss. At the Wa Free Bee Why Obama Doesn’t Think Pete Buttigieg Can Win a Presidential Election, "too short." Well, that and he's best known for being gay and not getting anything done. At Michigan News, GOP Co-chair Meshawn Maddock Doubles Down on ‘Weak Little Girl’ Comments, GOP Co-chair Meshawn Maddock said she will “never back down” from comments she made this week calling U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg a “weak little girl.” It is a bit unkind to little girls.
KT at Haut Hair thinks No bueno: Jill Biden avoids public comments about Hispanic Heritage Month after 'breakfast tacos' remark.
As Trafalgar reports Oz closing in on Fetterman (now within the margin of fraud), at NYPO, Salena Zito sees ‘Floundering’ Fetterman has Democrats fretting in Senate race vs. Dr. Oz. "Democrats who attended that speech said they are becoming uneasy about Fetterman. “Some tricky, cute tweet coming at the people of Pennsylvania again and again and again, with scarcely a word on substantive issues — if that is all his brain can remember, that is unacceptable,” one Democrat told me. “He seems to think he can ride out the storm and not debate." Hey, it worked for also brain-damaged Biden. The less seen of some politicians, the better.
Natalia Mittelstadt at JTN counts Election deniers; 82 Democrats who called GOP election wins questionable, illegitimate or stolen. From Delaware Live, Delaware judge halts mail-in voting, "A Chancery Court judge has ruled Delaware’s new mail-in voting provision unconstitutional. In an 87-page memorandum opinion issued Wednesday afternoon, Vice Chancellor Nathan Cook said allowing mail-in voting in the Nov. 8 general election “will result in the dilution of constitutional votes with unconstitutional votes.”" Well, yes, that was the point. Marty Walsh at the Conservative Brief reports N.C. Supreme Court Will Tackle Redistricting, Voter ID On Back To Back October Days “Neither case will affect this fall’s election. Election maps will not change between now and the Nov. 8 Election Day. Voters will not need to present photo identification to vote in that election,” the report added." It's a 4:3 Democrat majority, so we know how they will choose. WaPoo whines Trump backers flood election offices with requests as 2022 vote nears, "The requests for records related to the 2020 election have complicated preparations for November, which some officials say may be the point." How dare ultra MAGA Republicans express interest in the fairness of elections! Bill Doyle at Da Fed reminds us Don’t Be Fooled: ‘Nonpartisan’ Get-Out-The-Vote Efforts Always Benefit Democrats. They're always in cities where Democrats outnumber Republicans.
For example, if an area is 80 percent Democrat and 20 percent Republican like Milwaukee, the GOTV multiplier will be the difference between the Democrat vote share and the Republican vote share, which in this case is 60 percent or 0.60. An additional 1,000 votes will yield an extra 600 votes for the Democrat.
Of course, if the Republican candidate beats the Democrat candidate, the GOTV multiplier will be negative. This is why one never sees leftist nonprofits targeting GOTV efforts in exurban and rural areas, even though many Democratic voters live in those areas.
We're still litigating the Mar-a-Lago Panty Raid, and the resulting court actions. Da Blaze is pleased that Judge blocks DOJ's unchecked review of records seized in Mar-a-Lago raid. Margot Cleveland at Da Fed is too, Trump Scores Two Huge Victories In Fight For Special Master "Trump’s win shouldn’t be a loss for the Department of Justice—unless the Biden administration played fast and loose with the facts." Which they almost certainly did. But, as PM reminds us Biden's DOJ asks to continue criminal probe into documents during special master review, "Yet the district court here ordered disclosure of highly sensitive material to a special master and to Plaintiff’s counsel—potentially including witnesses to relevant events—in the midst of an investigation, where no charges have been brought."
Da Caller reports FBI Agents Seize Phone Of Mike Lindell Associate
"MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s associate Douglas Frank claimed Thursday that two FBI personnel served him a search warrant to take his cellphone as he left a plane, not long after FBI personnel reportedly took Lindell’s phone . . . Frank, a math teacher who has argued former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election and is affiliated with Lindell, according to The Washington Post, claimed on Telegram that federal agents confiscated his phone as he disembarked from a plane Thursday.
. . .
Multiple probes are examining purported security breaches of local election offices in Mesa County and states including Georgia and Michigan that allegedly sought evidence of 2020 election rigging via voting machines, according to the Post. Investigators looked for evidence of Lindell, Peters, Frank and others allegedly breaking federal anti-identity theft and intentional protected computer damage laws, according to warrant documents Lindell featured on “The Lindell Report” program Tuesday evening.
Lindell has worked with Frank, who says he uncovered secret algorithms used to rig the election, the Post reported. Frank previously told the outlet he showed Peters in April 2021 “how her election was hacked.”
Bob Hoge at Red State wants to know Why Is the DOJ Trying to Destroy Mike Lindell, the Pillow Guy? Partly, it's intimidation, but I'm sure they're afraid someone might discover their "secret sauce."
In a nutshell, the investigation is probing Lindell’s effort to analyze voting data from machines in several jurisdictions. Did he break the law to get some of this information? Time will tell, but it sure has the smell of FBI overkill once again. For instance, most of the rest of the CNN article goes on to describe Lindell’s efforts to promote his view that the election was stolen. Newsflash: that is not a crime.

AP reports Virginia governor seeks new transgender student policies
The new model policies from the Virginia Department of Education, which were posted online Friday, say students’ participation in certain school programming and use of school facilities like bathrooms or locker rooms should be based on their biological sex, with modifications offered only to the extent required under federal law. The policies also say that students who are minors must be referred to by the name and pronouns in their official records, unless a parent approves the use of something else.
WaPoo, fully neutral (/sarc) writes Virginia policy latest attempt to restrict rights of transgender students. On the other hand, Jazz Shaw at Haut Hair puts it Virginia asserts parental rights in school transgender policies.

If I had entered school a few decades later I would probably have left the process short some body parts that have turned out to be useful as an adult. Unfortunately kids in school today aren’t so lucky. They are marinated in an environment that is spiced with every sort of perversion, untruth, and radical ideology that you can conceive."

Attention Conservatives: They’re Coming For Your Podcasts Next
Over the weekend, the liberal Brookings Institution released what it calls “a tool to monitor political broadcasts” on increasingly popular podcasts. Why? To combat “misinformation.”
Brookings treats the growth of podcasts the way Count Floyd would describe one of his movies on the classic Monster Chiller Horror Theater sketch on SCTV. “Ooh, that’s scary, kids, scary!”
Podcasts, it warns, “played a central role in disseminating election fraud narratives in the lead up to January 6.” Scary, kids!
