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." Quote Mike Rogers @MikeRogersForMI, "@AbdulElSayed says it’s ok for MEN to be in girl’s locker rooms. 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. Wow." Quote Western Lensman @WesternLensman, "Carville is having an unhinged crash out over Haley Stevens: "If you think that these Republicans are going to treat you as anything other than what they view you as...a used condom. The Democrats don't even think you're worth a used condom." Gina Milan @ginamilan_, "BREAKING: Teamsters President Sean O’Brien just voted for Florida Republican Senator Ashley Moody. Yikes. Democrats aren’t having a great day."

Jonathan Turley says “Alaskan Voters Need to Know”: Times Alleges Peltola Campaign Conspired to Confuse Alaskan Voters With Decoy “Dan Sullivans”. Of course she did, with at least a wink and a nod. TownHall's Joe Chalfant notices NYTimes Readers Aren't Happy With the Peltola Piece. 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." Liz Mair @LizMair, "Did you draft him to run for Senate as Dan B Sullivan?" Quote Mary Peltola @MaryPeltola, "Look who I ran into in Juneau this morning." Ed: Don't be silly. The bear didn't register for the election. Dan Moose Sullivan, however ... The Babylon Bee @TheBabylonBee, "Alaska Democrats Caught Busing In Thousands Of Dan Sullivans."

MAZE @mazemoore, "In 2016 The NY Times did a video on the 2000 election and how crazy it was to not have the results on Election Day. Now the MSM tells us that not having the results on Election Day is normal." Quote PBS News @NewsHour, "If you go to bed on election night and don't know who won a midterm congressional race, that's normal. And if you wake up the next morning and find that a candidate who was behind hours earlier has since pulled ahead, that's normal, too." The Associated Press @AP, "BREAKING: More than 4 in 10 names flagged as possible noncitizen voters in California cannot be found on voter rolls, according to a legal filing." streiff @streiffredstate, "that means 60% are, correct?" Jen Van Laar at RedState thinks it Looks Like The 'Analysis' Slamming DOJ's Noncitizen Voter List Is Coming Back to Haunt CHIRLA, CA. Roger Kimball @rogerkimball, "This is true." Quote Eric Metaxas @ericmetaxas, "You'll notice that Trump's attempt to have free and fair elections is being presented by the Left as his attempt to STEAL the election. Don't buy the lie. They are desperate. A fair election will spell their demise & they know it." From News Wax, Mullin to Newsmax: Noncitizens on Voter Rolls Top 300,000. From Fox, 'Biscuit' the dog is latest dead felon to get their voting rights back from Spanberger, confused owner says. "Del Tom Garrett demands an independent audit of Abigail Spanberger's restoration process before Election Day ballot measure."

Will Thibeau at Am Mind on The Midterms’ Two Defining Issues. "Democrats are using the Iran War and AI to boost their electoral prospects." Eric S. 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." Quote Choblin @choblin29, "BREAKING: OpenAI is preparing a policy and PR blitz immediately after Tuesday’s midterm elections, Axios reports. As public backlash against data centers grows, it wants to rebrand them as “AI compute campuses” and push Congress for mandatory “speed limits” on the most powerful."

Julio Rosas @Julio_Rosas11, "'Everybody [is] waiting for the Democrats to win': Another migrant caravan left southern Mexico in October and some migrants we interviewed said they hope for a Democrat victory in the midterms so the U.S. starts shifting away from Trump's immigration policies.

InfantryDort @infantrydort, "And now we understand the absolutely rabid obsession with destroying Pete Hegseth. I’ve been in the Army since before 9/11. Served under many secretaries. Only in the past 18 months have I experienced: >politicians warning me not to follow illegal orders >billboards outside military bases telling me to report war crimes >the media attacking anyone who has a positive thing to say about the man, and defending anyone who hates him >stunning volume of leaks from senior officials trying to undermine him, and the lionizing of the leakers by the press >being called a war criminal myself, hundreds of times a day >a sustained media narrative portraying virtually every firing or senior officer removal as a “purge” >public efforts by retired officers, advocacy groups, and political figures to mobilize service members and military communities against administration policies >influential “Americans” publicly cheering for Iran This is just to name a few...."

Senator Markey must have participated in the organized Ed Holder Election War Game Exercises. In a interview conducted today, Senator Ed Markey stated that lawyers were already drafting an emergency case to bring before the U.S. Supreme Court both before and immediately after the election. He added that thousands of lawyers were being prepared for deployment to key polling stations across multiple states. Markey further said preparations needed to include readiness for a national strike on Election Day, with millions of people taking to the streets to protest what he described as an attempted electoral crime. He specifically called for workers, unions, and businesses to shut down in a manner similar to the response in Minneapolis following the deaths of Alex Freddi and Renee Goode. ..."

Dave Rubin @RubinReport, "This is the guy Democrats want to destroy. Sheer insanity." Quote Elon Musk @elonmusk, "Our second product is called Blindsight and it will, as the name suggests, enable even those who are completely blind or have never seen to see. It is ready from an engineering standpoint. Just waiting on regulatory approval." The Great Victor Davis Hanson at Am Great answers the question Why Do They Despise Musk?, "Elon Musk’s shift to the right, support for Trump, and defense of free speech have turned a former liberal darling into a target of the Left’s growing hostility toward billionaires." He didn't shift right; they shifted far-left.
