Flotsam and Jetsam - Swing State Blacks Swing towards MAGA

Matt Margolis at PJM explains This Is Why Democrats Are Panicking About Joe Biden, black voters deserting. 'Bonchie' at RedState, Much-Anticipated Poll of Black Voters in Swing States Is Out, and It's Not Good for Joe Biden. From Althouse, "Polls suggest that several of Mr. Biden’s core constituencies — young people, Black people and Hispanics — are increasingly Trump-curious."  Breitbart, Black Sports Icons on Support for Trump: ‘People Are Hoping He Comes Back.’ Paul Bedard at WaEx, the Liberal Media Scream: ‘The View’ says black people not allowed to leave the Democratic plantation. 

At HE David Krayden wonders Can half of Americans really hold their noses and vote for Biden? Sundance at CTH reports  Representative Anna Paulina Luna States DC Dems Discuss Replacing Joe Biden Before General Election. At Am Great, Roger Kimball has Further thoughts about the foreseeable future. "The election is still five months away. Most observers say that it is too late to change candidates, but is it? Five months is an eternity in politics." At Am Think J. Bob Smith is wondering About what kind of October Surprise Democrats have in store. 

Roger Kimball at Da Spec, The Joe Biden Shuffle defines the G7 "Giorgia Meloni espied POTUS wandering off like a bemused toddler." Unfair to toddlers. Hat Hair's KT reports Joe Biden's Deterioration Shocked G7 Members. Matt Vespa at TownHall A Biden Spokesperson Did Not Just Say *That* to Explain Joe's Wandering Off at G7 Summit, misinformation, baby!

Mary Rooke at Da Caller thinks The Right Finally Figured Out A Winning Narrative Against Biden "At least according to the narrative, President Joe Biden is on drugs. . . . This narrative has gained traction because it’s not a far stretch of the imagination to believe that Biden’s doctors have a drug cocktail they administer before he’s set to go out in public. His speeches often start with a high energy level, with him practically yelling at the crowd. As the speech progresses, he gradually lowers his voice, culminating in his signature smile and whisper routine before exiting the stage in the wrong direction. " 

At WaEx, The Evil Stepmother First lady comments on Hunter Biden’s conviction: ‘Tough week’. Hat Hair's Jazz Shaw cites Jonathan Turley on How Might Hunter's Gun Conviction Affect His Tax Trial? 
"Turley goes on to say that the potential sentencing in the tax case is "far more serious" than in the gun case. He describes Hunter's decision to not seek a plea deal in Delaware to avoid prison time as "insane." The same goes for the tax case in California. That doesn't seem to be Hunter Biden's style, however. The idea of pleading guilty to anything must be a bitter pill to swallow if your name is Biden and you were raised believing that you were untouchable and everything would always go your way."

TownHall's Sarah Arnold is not shocked to hear the Biden Admin to Announce Largest Relief Program for Millions of Illegal Immigrants. CBS News@CBSNews, "The Biden administration is making plans to announce one of the largest immigration relief programs in recent history, developing a policy that would offer legal status to hundreds of thousands of immigrants living in the country without proper documents, four people familiar with the plans told CBS News. https://cbsn.ws/3VIAhiE" Brianna Lyman at Da Fed, Supreme Court Erases Loophole That Kept Foreigners Inside The U.S. Illegally, no more interminable appeals.

OutKick reports Reporters Try To Browbeat Caitlin Clark To Acknowledge White Privilege. At Insty, JOHN TIERNEY: The March of Dimes Syndrome.

In the spring of 1979, a few weeks after the partial meltdown of a nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania, more than 65,000 people marched on the United States Capitol chanting “No Nukes, No Nukes.” As a young reporter at the Washington Star assigned to cover this new movement, I interviewed march organizers and noticed that all of them had previously organized protests against the Vietnam War. This struck me as curious: How had they suddenly become so passionate and knowledgeable about nuclear power?

I later learned that a term exists for this phenomenon—the March of Dimes syndrome—and that the tendency affects many other movements, too. Why, last year, did the Human Rights Campaign declare a “national state of emergency” for LGBT people? Why was the election of the first black American president followed by the Black Lives Matter movement? Why have reports of “hate groups” risen during the same decades that racial prejudice has been plummeting? Why, during a long and steep decline in the incidence of sexual violence in America, did academics, federal officials, and the #MeToo movement discover a new “epidemic of sexual assault”?

For career activists, success is a threat. They can never declare mission accomplished.

The Free Bacon reports the Ford Foundation Sends Millions to Organizations That Have Celebrated Oct. 7 Terrorist Attacks. Tax endowments 10% per year. Josh Hammer at NYPo explains How to lock up those nasty pro-Hamas and Gaza protestors

First, it’s constitutional law that aliens — legal or illegal — do not possess a First Amendment right to free speech that would prevent them from being deported for vocally supporting a US State Department-recognized Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). Each and every pro-Hamas protestor who’s not a US citizen thus can, and should, be sent packing, as 8 U.S.C. § 1201 clearly permits.

Second, much of the protestors’ behavior likely violates Section 2 of the 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act (42 U.S.C. § 1985), which creates a civil cause of action to sue those who “conspire or go in disguise on the highway or on the premises of another, for the purpose of depriving . . . any person or class of persons of the equal protection of the laws.” Such a successful class-action civil suit — now gaining traction among Jewish leaders — wouldn’t result in jail time, but it could punish the bank accounts of thugs who went “in disguise” to advocate for Jewish genocide.

Federal prosecutors have options too. The criminal analogue to Section 2 of the Ku Klux Klan Act is 18 U.S.C. § 241, which criminalizes conspiring to “injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person . . . in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States.” This has clearly been happening nationwide, but no one has lifted a finger to pursue such charges. Nor has any federal prosecutor gone after a case of material support for a terrorist organization, proscribed by 18 U.S.C. § 2339A.
