Flotsam and Jetsam - Democrats Seeing Red over Virginia Setback

Democrats are still in high dudgeon over their loss in the Virginia Supreme court, in their last minute attempt to redistrict from 6-5 D to 10-1 D, aka Abigail Spanberger’s Faceplant (Free Bacon). Matt Margolis at PJM hears Democrats Now Want to ABOLISH the Virginia Government, because they didn't like the results. The Democrats election lawyer, Marc E. Elias @marceelias, "VA Const. "whenever any government shall be found inadequate or contrary to these purposes, a majority of the community hath an indubitable, inalienable, and indefeasible right to reform, alter, or abolish it, in such manner as shall be judged most conducive to the public weal." Fusilli Spock @awstar11, "Replacing the judiciary branch with a version that specifically agrees with your policies is certainly not something a fascist would do, right?" Quote RNC Research @RNCResearch "House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries proposes a nationwide radical takeover of the courts if Democrats gain power: "We're going to have to explore judicial 'reform' state by state and at the federal level...everything should be on the table as far as I'm concerned." Amy Curtis at TownHall hears Speaker Mike Johnson Calls Out Dems' for 'Stunning' Plan to Nuke Judicial Branch of Government and reminds them that NY started the midcycle redistricting war, not Texas. Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson, "House Democrats started the current mid-decade redistricting battle in NY before the 2024 election. Now that it’s backfired on them, they are pushing a stunning next step: nuke the judicial branch of government and pack the court! They are anarchists now." Bob Hoge at RedState In Nashville, Capitol Tantrums Come With a Bill — and Tennessee Dems Just Received It. Robby Starbuck @robbystarbuck, "Tennessee’s Speaker of the House @CSexton25 just removed elected Democrats from ALL committees due to their disruptive, disrespectful behavior during the session to redraw Tennessee’s congressional map. Good. They aren’t entitled to be on committees. Fantastic work @tnhousegop!" Ace is up! South Carolina's Legislature Will Delete C***s***er Jim Clyburn's Seat Tomorrow; Alabama Now Free to Eliminate One of Its Two Democrat Districts, "Alabama has two majority-minority districts due to unconstitutional racist and Democrat Protection Racket mandates. The Supreme Court just vacated a lower court ruling mandating the racially rigged districts, and Alabama will swiftly move to eliminate one of them," then down again, as South Carolina Dixiecrats Tank Effort to Gain a Congressional Seat, Voting With the Declared Democrats to Kill It, "Indiana redux." JR Dunn at Am Thinker thinks about Louisiana v. Callais and the Long Run, "If Republicans are wise, Louisiana v. Callais could be the kind of once-in-a-century Supreme Court decision that returns America to its constitutional roots."

Driscoll at Insty, ‘BE NICE TO ME:’ Dem CA Gov Hopeful Xavier Becerra Begs Reporter for Friendly Treatment, Exposes Entitlement. "Xavier Becerra was in the Biden Administration as the DHS Secretary. He was terrible at the job and did not keep the ‘homeland’ safe, in the least. Democrats fail up, so now he is running for the job of top executive in California. He sat down for a news interview and before they started, he wanted to be sure the journalist knew he expected a friendly interview and not a ‘gotcha’ interview. How does he expect to run a huge state when he’s afraid of a news interview? What a wimp!" Kevin Liao @KevinLiao_, "Everyone’s been wondering whether Xavier Becerra can withstand scrutiny. Take a look at this interview clip and judge for yourself." Ace, Obama's Oxygen Thief HHS Secretary, Xavier Becerra, Is Currently the Leading Democrat for California Governor and Cannot Answer Questions About His Record Without Begging for Mercy. "First, he wasn't able to answer questions about the 85,000 migrant children he lost while supposedly safeguarding them in the Biden Open Borders Regime. He claims they weren't "lost" at all. Merely, that when their "sponsors" were contacted to check up on the health and safety of the children, the sponsors didn't respond." Hat Hair's Beege Welborn, Mayorkas: Man, Somebody Shoulda Done Sumpthin' About That Border. Amazing. Leslie Eastman at LI, Spencer Pratt Vows to Bring in CDC to Rid Los Angeles Of ‘Medieval Diseases’, like Typhus. "You don’t need a federal task force to tell you that rats, refuse, and unchecked human misery are a breeding ground for disease. You simply need the political will to stop pretending this is normal."

At Hat Hair, John Sexton sees Zohran still relying on handouts, Mamdani Balances City Budget With a Big Handout from Gov. Hochul. I'm sure upstaters are super thrilled about paying the bills for his social programs. Anti-semitic "protestors" heckled Jews at home in Brooklyn and Beege Welborn thinks What Happened in the Streets of New York City Last Night Was a Disgrace. Yehuda Teitelbaum @chalavyishmael, "HAPPENING NOW IN BROOKLYN: Insane footage of pro-Hamas rioters marching through an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood toward a synagogue while assaulting Jewish kids. This is what Mamdani wants to see. He could stop this at any time." David Bernstein @ProfDBernstein, "We are getting closer to an actual pogrom like Crown Heights 1991. Seriously time for Brooklyn Jews to arm themselves." Quote Eli Kowaz - איליי קואז @elikowaz, "Masked marchers, chanting "Zionism will fail," Orthodox families watching from their doorsteps. Just a normal night in a Jewish Brooklyn neighbourhood. If someone tells you this isn't about Jews, ask them why they chose this block."

Amy Curtis notices Democrats Suddenly Forgot About the Separation of Church and State and Ted Lieu Promised Dems Will Make Everything More Expensive If They Retake Power. Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok, "You are not gonna believe what I just found The California Mayor who admitted to being a Chinese spy donated to the Democrat Senate Campaign Committee Democrat Senators are being funded by Chinese spies If it was the other way around, it would be front page news for weeks." I believe it!

Chef Andrew Gruel @ChefGruel, "I thought we hate billionaires?" Quote California Post @californiapost, "Hollywood billionaire is first Dem megadonor to throw weight behind Gavin Newsom for 2028 White House run https://trib.al/WdLRya4." At Da Signal, Don Lemon Teases Presidential Run. Put down that crack pipe. But you have to admit, there would be some entertainment there.

At PJM VodkaPundit is pleased to report We Get Greenland! (Sort Of) "One source told the Beeb that administration officials "floated an arrangement in which the three new military bases would be formally designated as U.S. sovereign territory."" Don Surber is satisfied with Pax Annexa "The 51st state threat works well for Trump...Trump treats negotiation with the seriousness of a war. His statements are part of the fog of his war."

Ace is in Shock: Cuck of the Century Thomas Massie Claimed to be Sexual Deviant by Ex-GF, She Claims He Offered $5000 to Keep Quiet About His Proclivities "Maybe Massie orchestrated this leak himself. As you might have heard, the humiliation is the kink. Allegedly he DM'd her two months after his wife died and began a sexual relationship shortly after that. Is this true? Who knows. What are the deviant sex acts Massie allegedly demanded that made her feel "uncomfortable"? No idea, she doesn't say. Spoiler alert, it's usually about poop." A shit-head in Congress? No surprise there. 

John Lucas at Bravo Blue says Enough Already! Please Stop With the Talk About a "Deal," Mr. President. John Betts @JohnFromCranber, "Trump: No Need to Rush Anything With Iran. Frankly, I would rather see action rather than talk I would like to see oil prices and inflation back down And I am sick and tired of Iran poking us in the eye on the world stage, and making it look like we're desperate for some sort of exit strategy it's way past time to end this - unleash hell!" I think he's just letting the rubble settle before the next round of destruction. Ron Tiersky at RCW says Victory or Defeat, Iranian Old Regime's Fate is Sealed.

From Ace, Democrat Whistleblower Claims that Adam Schiff Ordered His Staff to Illegally Leak Classified Information In Order to Rig an Indictment Against Trump. "Adam Schiff, I assume, has been quizzed about this before. And I assume he lied to federal investigators when he was asked. That's obstruction of justice." Svetlana Lokhova @RealSLokhova, "Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell conspired to leak classified, and falsified, information that I was a Russian Spy who had an affair with President Trump's National Security Advisor General Flynn. The goal was to impeach President Trump. The motive: Schiff didn't get the CIA Director role that Hillary promised him if she won. So Schiff did everything to try and remove President Trump. A highly reliable whistleblower who worked on the Intel Committee with Schiff reported this to the FBI. The FBI found this to be true but then Christopher Wray refused to refer Schiff and Swalwell for prosecution, despite all the evidence, which he hid. The documents are now released but Patel/Blanche still have not arrested anyone for this."

At Am Great Nice Deb sees Trump Shares Video on Truth Social Alleging Rigged 2020 Election in Michigan "On July 5, 2021, constitutional attorney Matt DePerno appeared on Steve Bannon’s War Room and made a series of bombshell claims about the election. “We’ve proved now that there was direct access to the Antrim County Election Management System,” DePerno tells Bannon in the video. “On November 5, we can see in the forensic images that an anonymous user logged onto the EMS [Election Management System] remotely with escalated privileges and made changes to the database while they were trying to retabulate the election.” DePerno explained that the Dominion forensic images also confirm that the “black solid boxes” on the side of ballots were “intentionally modified” to generate an automatic error, or “adjudication,” in Republican ballots."

Ace hears about a New Foreign Pirate Pillaging Operation Uncovered: 10,000 Foreign Students "Working" at Fraudulent Jobs Created by Fraudulent "Employers." "Why the hell would we be paying foreign students to work, anyway? Why on earth would we be subsidizing foreigners to come here? Pay full freight or go home. Better yet, go home whether you're paying full freight or not. Correction: I assumed the taxpayers were paying the salaries of these fake "workers." But I haven't seen anyone say that and now believe this is simply a scheme to remain in the country beyond the limits of one's student visa." Twitchy, NBC News: 18-Year-Old US Citizen Dies of Cancer With His Parents by His Side. "Rep. Joaquin Castro is the master of illegal immigration sob stories. If an illegal alien stubs their toe in an ICE detention facility, he'll report the national news story on it. Earlier this month, Castro shared the sad story of Kevin González, an 18-year-old with Stage 4 colon cancer who had only days to live. González is a U.S. citizen, but his parents are not, and were detained by ICE."

Dave Bernstein at Insty says YOU CAN’T HATE THE NEW YORK TIMES ENOUGH–THIS IS HOW THE HAMAS PROPAGANDA MACHINE WORKS: "New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof published a lengthy piece alleging systematic sexual assault on Palestinian security prisoners in Israeli jails. The piece was based on extremely dubious sourcing, and included the absurd allegation, which has circulated for months with no actual evidence provided, that Israel trains dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners. Even a credulous fool might have paused at that one. But it looks like Kristof, and the Times, are no mere credulous fools. A very extensive, detailed, and exquisitely sourced report was released today documenting, in gruesome detail, Hamas’s sexual depravity on 10/7 and its sexual crimes against the hostages it kidnapped to Gaza. As @aizenbergt55 comments on X, “If you do not believe @nytimes knew EXACTLY what they were doing with the timing of the Kristof “opinion” piece [ie, trying to preempt justified outrage at Hamas’s sexual crimes by suggesting that Israel similarly engages in such crimes] I have a nice bridge to sell you.”" Driscoll at Insty cites DAVID HARSANYI: Nick Kristof’s grotesque journalistic malpractice. "Kristof’s most cartoonishly evil accusation contends that the Israelis use trained dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners. This hoax is the favorite of online antisemitic podcaster types. Not only has there never been a shred of evidence that this has happened, but it’s also probably “biologically and cognitively unfeasible” for humans to train dogs to rape people..." David Shuster @DavidShuster, "Hearing from longtime friends @nytimes there are already discussions, including up the masthead, about retracting @NickKristof column. Issues with source credibility and lack of evidence. No indications the Kristof sourcing mistakes were deliberate. Still problematic:" Physics Geek @physicsgeek, ""he won two Pulitzers writing for the NYT" ::laughs in Walter Duranty:: The fact that you think this is a flex is one of the funniest things I've ever seen."

Flotsam and Jetsam - Bondi Out at DOJ

First a rumor, then officially announced, Pam Bondi is to leave the job of Attorney General at DOJ for an unspecified private sector job. Asst AJ Todd Blanche, a former Trump lawyer will replace her at least temporarily although EPA Admin Lee Zeldin is thought to be a strong possibility for a permanent replacement. Both Trump and Bondi are being nice about it, but I suppose there's plenty of time for a nasty tell all book later. Reasons for her dismissal are vague, most speculate it percolated up from the way she botched the Epstein files releases, saying she had the file of Epstein clients "on my desk," when it turned out there really isn't such a file. It could have just been unfortunate bureaucrat speech, but it makes it much too easy to charge a cover up. Or it could have been her failure to exact legal vengeance on those who committed lawfare against Trump. One odd rumor suggests she tipped off Eric Swalwell to the investigation coming his way over Fang Fang. Fox, Pam Bondi already fired as attorney general, cabinet official teed up as replacement: sources. Jeff Charles at TownHall, President Trump Fires Pam Bondi. Sarah Anderson at PJM, Pam Bondi Fired, Todd Blanche to Replace Her as Acting Attorney General. Sundance at CTH is not sad, Bondi Out. "Readers of CTH will likely not see this as a surprise. {Go Deep}Pam Bondi was the second sequential cabinet level removal prediction we made after she was announced. {GO DEEP} The first person we predicted to be removed was National Security Advisor Mike Waltz. Susie Wiles should be embarrassed." Althouse likes her NYT, "Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year. Pam did a tremendous job..." ""... overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900. We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future, and our Deputy Attorney General, and a very talented and respected Legal Mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP" Trump, at Truth Social." Ace, Breaking: Multiple Reports That Trump Has Told Pam Bondi That Her Time as AG Is Coming to an End "Update: She's been fired now?" and Bondi's Out. Is Tulsi Next?! "As you know, Pam Bondi was fired today. This article repeats the rumor that Trump believed she was leaking to Eric Swallwell:" Matt Vespa at TownHall, Pam Bondi Reportedly Isn't the Only One on the Chopping Block, with picture of Tulsi. At Hat Hair Capt. Ed calls it Too Weird to Check: Trump Canned Bondi Over ... Swalwell? Sundance, No, Bondi Was Not Fired for Leaking to Swalwell and Bondi’s Replacement is Important, But Not as Important as Perceived. Reason whines Pam Bondi's Loyalty to Trump Wasn't Enough To Save Her Job "Ultimately, Bondi's fulsome defense of the president could not overcome blowback over her handling of the Epstein files."

I've got little reason to diss Bondi, though I do think she botched the Epstein matter. But the job of AG is a very important one, particularly in the era of lawfare. If Blanche or Zeldin would be better for the administration, yes, make the change. As for Tulsi, I would not be in a rush to dump her. She and RFK Jr are the evidence that Trump is willing to work with the principled opposition. Moreover, both Pam and Tulsi were dropped into snake pit; both Justice and the intelligence community are seething masses of anti-Trump fervor. It's hard to know which snakes are the King Snakes and which are the Coral Snakes.

It begins when the enemy breaks contact and tries to withdraw, often after losing cohesion..." and "If this deck of cards tally is accurate the Iranian Regime is not so much being changed as shaped. At least that's what they seem to be doing." I assume the Israelis are not yet done. Apranik @patriot_apranik, "A host went on live TV begging ordinary Iranians NOT to leak the hiding locations of regime officials to Israel! He literally cried that if the people expose their coordinates, “it's over” and they will be eliminated.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Santos Gets the Boot

Yesterday the House voted to unseat Rep.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Jordan Out, More Evidence of Biden Bribery

Via Hat Hair, BREAKING: Jordan Loses Secret Ballot, No Longer GOP Nominee for Speaker; UPDATE: Only 86 Ayes. I think tempers are getting short. Jake Sherman@JakeSherman, "JORDAN LOST — Jim Jordan lost a secret ballot. He’s no longer the speaker designate for the House GOP."  And this is just weird, Salem News Channel @WatchSalemNews, "BREAKING Matt Gaetz and the eight who voted to oust McCarthy offer to censure or remove themselves from conference to get holdouts to vote for Jim Jordan as speaker." Capt. Ed at Hat Hair asks  "Could that work? I’m skeptical. The fact that Gaetz is attempting to negotiate an outcome is likely going to make the dissent more firm, especially for those who don’t want to reward the Freedom Caucus for the coup against McCarthy." Stephen Kruiser at PJM, My Endorsement for Speaker: Whoever Can Get Nancy Mace to Shut Up. Next up?

Mediaite reports Gavin Newsom — Who Insists He is NOT Running for President — Announces He’s ‘On His Way’ to Israel ‘Offering California’s Support’

Capt. Ed wonders Will Gutless Wonders Never Cease: Over 400 (?) Anonymous Congressional Staffers Demand Cease-Fire from Bosses. No, they will never cease. Ben Whedon at JTN reports Amid indictment, 70% of New Jerseyans want Sen. Menendez to resign, "Just 16% of New Jerseyans say Menendez should serve out the remainder of his term, which ends in January 2025." Capt Ed. "That is one ugly poll result. On the plus side for Democrats, the FDU data shows no erosion of standing from Menendez’ scandal, likely because Democrats reacted quickly to distance themselves from him. One other reason is that NJ voters are pretty cynical — or realistic — about their politicians; only 9% believe they’re not at all corrupt, and 59% think they are somewhat or very corrupt." I'm going with realistic.

Ace, James Comer: We Have Found a $200,000 Direct Payment From James Biden to Joe Biden; James Biden Had Just Received a Payment From a Bankrupt Company Seeking Government Help.  The check for $200,000 was labeled a "loan repayment." "Comer believes this a false characterization, and wants proof that Biden loaned him this sum." From Twitchy, House Oversight Found an Answer to Biden's Question 'Where's the Money?' (Here's a Pic of the Check) "Democrats and much of the media will say this is evidence of nothing because the check was from Biden's brother and doesn't say "bribes for political favors" in the memo section."

In 2018, James Biden received $600,000 in loans from, Americore—a financially distressed and failing rural hospital operator.

According to bankruptcy court documents, James Biden received these loans “based upon representations that his last name, ‘Biden,’ could ‘open doors’ and that he could obtain a large investment from the Middle East based on his political connections.”

On March 1, 2018, Americore wired a $200,000 loan into James and Sara Biden’s personal bank account – not their business bank account.

And then on the very same day, James Biden wrote a $200,000 check from this same personal bank account to Joe Biden.

James Biden wrote this check to Joe Biden as a “loan repayment.” Americore—a distressed company—loaned money to James Biden who then sent it to Joe Biden.

Even if this was a personal loan repayment, it’s still troubling that Joe Biden’s ability to be paid back by his brother depended on the success of his family’s shady financial dealings.

PJM's Vicky Taft details how President Biden Gaslights Americans in Oval Office Address on Ukraine, Israel. Ace, Biden Announces Great Deal Where We Send $100 Million to The Fucking Gazans But Get Zero of Our Hostages Back. "The Bee. I thought this was just a joke. It's not. This happened. . . Biden really struck a deal to send Hamas $100 million and get zero hostages out." Also, Lee Smith: How Did Our Trillion-Dollar Society of Incompetents Called Our "Intelligence Community" Miss the Attack on Israel? "How did the Deep State miss the attack on Israel? Did it have something to do with, oh yeah, the fact that the Biden Administration has a known Iranian spy with top secret clearances working for the Pentagon?"" At NYPo, Top Iranian Pentagon aide keeps security clearance despite ‘spying for Tehran’ accusation. "Ariane Tabatabai appeared to be a willing recruit in the covert influence operation run by Tehran’s Foreign Ministry, according to a trove of leaked files revealed last month by Semafor." Nick Arama at RedState, Biden Lets Loose on Bibi and Jim Jordan as WH Walks Back His Bad Remark About Gaza Invasion. Margaret Brennan@margbrennan "At a fundraiser, President Biden tells attendees that "the Saudis wanted to recognize Israel" and Hamas may have attacked because "they knew I was about to sit down with the Saudis." "This comment Is nonsense on at least a couple of levels. First, the evidence indicates that the attack was in the planning for a long time, so it wasn't precipitated by any recent event from Biden. Second, Biden had nothing to do with bringing the Saudis and Israel closer. That was all the peace efforts of former President Donald Trump. Biden seems to be trying to take credit for that achievement. If anything, Biden worsened the situation, by angering the Saudis with his words against Prince Mohammed bin Salman and fighting over oil."

Ace's MORNING RANT: “Expectation Smashing” Retail Sales Are Trailing Actual Inflation. "Inflation is still out of control and consumers are getting squeezed by their decreasing purchasing power.

NCLA, U.S. Supreme Court to Hear Landmark NCLA Case Against Government Social Media Censorship. Politico worries Supreme Court to decide if Biden admin illegally bullied social media into censoring content  but notes "The justices blocked an order preventing the White House from contacting social media companies about allegedly misleading posts involving Covid-19 and the 2020 election." Capt. Ed worries; "Read the order and dissent at this link. Needless to say, this does not bode well for the plaintiffs in Missouri v Biden, and the fact that only three justices object to the stay on the injunction leads me to be very pessimistic on the outcome of the full review by the court. It looks like the other six are focusing more on the harms to government in an order restraining them from censorship than the harms of the clear violations of the First Amendment on Americans."

The voluntary interview was conducted at the White House over two days, Sunday and Monday, and concluded Monday," White House Counsel spokesperson Ian Sams released in a statement Monday night." Sundance at CTH revels in it Joe Biden Interviewed by Special Counsel Sunday and Today Regarding Classified Documents Removed While Vice President. Don't get too excited about it; I'm sure they're looking at all possible angles to excuse it, and still pursue the persecution of Donald Trump for removing documents when he left office.

PJM's Matt Margolis reveals Hunter Isn’t the Only Biden With Nude Pics on the Internet. "But here’s where it really gets weird. According to a report from The Daily Mail, a naked selfie of Frank Biden was posted to a gay porn site back in 2018. (I won’t bother sharing the name of the site the picture was found on.) Frank Biden, who was 64 at the time the photo was taken, admits that it is genuine but claims he did not post it on the website."

"Newly released evidence from the House Committee on Ways and Means reveals over $20 million coming from 23 separate countries on four continents to at least nine Biden family members. Not only are the Biden transfers becoming clear, so is the Biden family tree in this lucrative form of corruption."

Matt Margolis again, Secretary of State Blinken Accidentally Admits Biden Admin Funded Attack on Israel. Hat Hair's KT shows how Blinken blows the lid off White House talking points on billions for Iran “Iran has unfortunately always used and focused its funds on supporting terrorism.” Hat Hair's KT hears Haley blasts Blinken for denying link between $6B and Hamas attacks on Israel.The I&I ed board wonders Did Biden’s Policy To Isolate Israel Lead To Hamas’ Deadly Attack? At RedState 'streiff' wonders What Was the Role of the Iranian Spy Ring in the US Government in the 'Intelligence Blunder' With Hamas? It didn't help, that's for damn sure. From JTN, Biden administration to pour additional millions into ‘Gender Studies’ in Middle East. "U.S. to provide free tuition to women in the Middle-East, provided they “participate in an additional activity or short-term project where students can promote and advocate for gender equality.” The U.S. spent $787.4 million on advancing gender equality in now Taliban-controlled Afghanistan." Yeah, I'm sure that helped. /sarc. Ace, Israel Defense Minister Says That Weapons Biden Left Behind in Afghanistan Are Being Used by Iran's Proxy Army Hamas. Of course, guns are almost as fungible as money. Hat Hair's Dave Strom hears the  Biden Admin in the midst of crisis: climate change still the biggest threat US and world faces. "In the midst of all the crises America and the world face, listen to what Admiral John Kirby says is the biggest problem America faces. It is the most profoundly stupid thing I have heard since AOC opened her mouth and spoke." Tom Elliott@tomselliott, "Biden Admin's Admiral John Kirby: "Absolutely" we still believe the biggest threat humanity faces today is "climate change." "Climate change is an existential threat. It’s actually capable of wiping out all human life on Earth." And get ready for pain at the gas pump, as PJM's Cathy Salgado observes Oil Prices Spike Amidst Hamas Terrorist War on Israel. Inflation continues as Price of a Forever stamp is going up. Here’s how much they will cost in January according to PennLive. 

Fox, Republicans urge Biden not to release deadly apex predator near rural community "Locals oppose Biden administration proposal to release grizzly bears because they pose 'danger to the safety of their communities,' GOP lawmaker says." It's just a red area in a blue state. Why not release them in Central and Rock Creek Parks?

At NotTheBee, NEW: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announces he's running as an independent after being snubbed by Democrats. NYT cited at Hat Hair,  RFK Jr launches independent presidential campaign; leaves Dem primaries. Capt. Ed,  "He had a better chance as a Democrat primary challenger. The only places this will matter is in states which Democrats might ordinarily win by thin margins, and even then he’d have to win tens of thousands of votes from Biden when he’s more likely to draw from the Green Party." From Da Caller, RFK Jr. Announces Presidential Run As Independent Candidate. Breitbart, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Will Run for President as an Independent. Althouse, RFK Jr. "I am here to declare myself an independent candidate for president of the United States." "Expected, but, just now, official." Steve Miller at News Week opines RFK Jr. Is a Lesson for MAGA World: Be Careful What You Wish For.

From TNP, a POLL: Americans Overwhelmingly Support McCarthy’s Removal, but remember, about half of those are Democrats. NewsMax asks What Does Kevin McCarthy Do Now? Try to worm his way back in?  Jazz Shaw, Make up our minds. McCarthy "may be open" to coming back as Speaker. TNP, has a REPORT: McCarthy Is Already Eyeing a Return to the Speakership.   Capt. Ed, "McCarthy hinted at that himself after declining to put his name into the new speaker’s race in the GOP caucus. If he remains outside of leadership, he will still wield enormous influence thanks to his fundraising ties. It’s not just that he might give the Gaetz 8 the cold shoulder, either; they had better expect McCarthy to recruit challengers and get them the funds they need to compete." Revenge is dish best served cold. At Fox, Democrats indicated they'd help save McCarthy before voting to oust him: sources, "'Something changed over the weekend' before the McCarthy vote, one lawmaker said." You fucked up, you trusted us!

Natalia Mittelstadt at JTN on ‘Zuckerbucks’ in Wisconsin: State constitutional amendment to ban private election funding in 2024 ""We all know Zuckerbucks played a terrible role in the 2020 election and that must never be allowed to happen again," said state Rep.

At NYPo, Ex-CIA chief accused of calling for Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s ‘assassination’. Well, sort of. "The shocking suggestion from the retired US intelligence official came in response to a question from a user on the social media platform X, who asked if Tuberville (R-Ala.) should be “removed from his committee.” “How about the human race?” Hayden replied." Jennifer Van Laar at RedState, Retired Gen., Former CIA Director Michael Hayden Apparently Just Called For the Death of a U.S. Senator.  From Twitchy, Beg your pardon? General Hayden suggests assassination of sitting U.S. Senator. Tuberville has placed a hold on mass approval of military promotions that require Senate confirmation, in protest of the current military abortion policy, which skirts the law. Hayden, you may recall, is one the the 51 retired intelligence occifers who signed a paper declaring the Hunter Biden laptop story Russian disinformation, knowing fully well it wasn't.
