Flotsam and Jetsam - Ukraine, Iran and Omar, Oh My!

Here's a pretty good breakdown of how the Ukraine Starlink kerfuffle probably happened. Long story short Ukrainian's were hacking Starlink to allow it to do things it wasn't supposed to (like offensive attacks). But then, so was Russia. Starlink changed the software to prevent that, and Ukraine got bent out of shape (the Russians probably did to, but they were too polite to complain). Chamberlain's Ghost @RSA_Observer, " Now this is something! This technical thread suggests (explains) that the entire Starlink/shield slowdown issue is not a consequence of a political decision in the US or by Musk but the result of Ukrainian engineers hacking the system to bypass it's controls and do something they are not permitted to do - and when Starlink took steps to prevent the bypassing and ensure the controls remained effective, suddenly the system stopped working in 'bypass mode' - and Zelensky then set out to politicise matters. The explanation makes the bits of the puzzle fit together and fits with the New York Times article in which Ukrainians explained that although the system is formally limited to 100 mph they have managed to exceed it..."

From the JPo, Netanyahu orders Iranian regime's downfall, Katz warns 'Iran will burn' at IDF cadets' graduation. "Speaking at the IDF officer cadets' graduation ceremony, Netanyahu declared regime change in Iran a military objective, while Defense Minister Katz warned that "Iran will burn" if it attacks Israel." Are we surprised, or shocked?

Katie Bergh @Katie_Bergh, "In the wake of unprecedented cuts in last year's Republican reconciliation law, SNAP participation & spending have been falling — and the decline is much deeper than the Congressional Budget Office initially projected."

Nick Arama at RedState says Hoo Boy: Baier Nails El-Sayed on Multiple Points - His Incredible Defensiveness Is Something to See. From the Crimson Hub, Is The Con On? Meet the Pastor Behind the Defunct Group Helping Abdul El-Sayed Court Black Voters. "According to Federal Election Commission records, AES' campaign has paid $82,500 to the Ecumenical Ministers Alliance (EMA), a Detroit-based organization headed by Rev. Horace Sheffield III. There's just one rather significant problem. Michigan corporate records show the organization was dissolved all the way back in 2014." Ari Fleischer @AriFleischer, "Abdul is not the only Muslim to run for the Senate. Mehmet Oz ran in 2024. No one ran against Oz because he’s a Muslim. That’s because Oz didn’t call Israel Bloodthirsty. Oz didn’t write an oped urging support for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Oz didn’t have donors who belonged to the MB. Oz didn’t blame terrorism on the policies of the US. And Oz didn’t justify a terrorist on a synagogue. This race isn’t about Abdul’s faith. It’s about his extremist ideas." Quote Aaron Rupar @atrupar, "El-Sayed: "We had a little debate. Or I had a debate and he just pointed at me and said, 'He's Muslim.'" Hat Hair's Capt.

Tony Kinnett @TheTonus, "Here are 3 of Nate Silver's own Silver Bulletin aggregates which literally assigned major “influence” to Wedgewood." Quote Nate Silver @NateSilver538, Replying to @NateSilver5383. "I think there's been a tendency to overstate the influence of Wedgewood. They were pretty obscure, though fairly prolific. It's almost always best not to give any individual pollster undue attention, especially if they have no track record." unseen1 @unseen1_unseen, "Look at who is outing these fake pollsters and ask yourself why they are doing so at this time? It's not conservatives outing them. The people outing them are trying to get ahead of something and set a narrative. You be the judge of what they are trying to get ahead of and what narrative they could produce from outing their own fake pollsters 2 weeks before an election....." Dustin Grage @GrageDustin, "The polls make a lot more sense when you realize Democrats’ only path to taking the Senate depends on Republicans staying home. The goal is to demoralize you into sitting on the couch instead of showing up on Election Day. Don’t fall for it. If Republicans show up, we win. It’s that simple."

Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh, " BREAKING: A judge has just THROWN OUT Democrats' lawsuit seeking to let Wisconsin voters take back mail-in ballots they'd already returned and vote AGAIN Hold on, they were going to let people vote AGAIN? This is why we needed an army of GOP lawyers! When their preferred primary candidate dropped out, Democrats went to court to get those votes redone The RNC fought it twice and won both times. The court REFUSED to change the rules in July, and today a Dane County judge tossed the case entirely Wisconsin law is clear, once you return your ballot, it's FINAL. Big win for GOP!" PJM's Vicky Taft has another West Coast, Messed Coast™: Woke Governor to Send National Guard to Ballot Boxes. "Ferguson says he's making the offer to send the out-of-uniform, unarmed National Guard Soldiers to any of the state's 39 counties because the Washington secretary of state received an envelope containing an unknown white powder inside. Ferguson also mentioned concern about the unsolved 2024 firebombing of a ballot receptacle in southwest Washington. One or more leftist saboteurs were believed to have been behind that firebombing, since it was believed to have been linked to two other cases of ballot box vandalism the year Trump was on the ballot." PJM's Stephen Kruiser wants Somebody Please Get the Democrats an Ativan and an Election Defeat.

Jeffrey A Tucker @jeffreytucker, "The whole ethos of Washington, D.C. these days is: let's keep the racket going as long as possible. This is every agency, every Congressional office, every lobbyist, every think tank. Idealism is gone. Public service is gone. The notion of government as servant of the people is gone. We hardly even hear these cliches anymore." John Sexton at Hat Hair hears a Federal Contractor Sues Government After James O'Keefe Video "ATI Government Solutions, the company featured in this video, has now filed a lawsuit against the government claiming that they were unfairly cut off from all government contracts as a result of the video." NOVA Campaigns @NoVA_Campaigns, "Turns out

At his substack, Insty does a good job of condensing Democrat's plans for a 'color revolution' after the midterms, The Coming Insurrection, "And what to do about it." "This isn’t some fever dream, it’s right there in the extensive files that DataRepublican has provided. Here’s an article by Chuck DeVore in The Federalist. The goal is sustained mass violence and street clashes designed to push President Donald Trump into invoking the Insurrection Act. Once invoked, Democratic governors and progressive organizations would treat the order itself as evidence of “fascism” and a reason to undermine federal authority. Groups including the United Democracy Alliance, invoking Erica Chenoweth’s 3.5 percent rule, appear ready to coordinate the street actions, legal support, and media framing. Neville Roy Singham, operating from Shanghai and connected to the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department, is positioned to amplify the disruption from abroad." Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius, "RE: The Democracy Files/Illegitimacy Playbook The problem with @DataRepublican's Democracy Files is that the truth they expose sounds so outrageous that anyone who points out what is actually going on initially sounds like a foaming-at-the-mouth, lunatic conspiracy theorist. So if anyone thinks that, I encourage you to go and watch the videos for yourself..." bye bye @johoromero, "One must admire the confidence required to mistake constitutional vigilance for insurrection, particularly when one has evidently devoted so little effort to understanding either." Quote Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius, "America currently has a cabal of ~1,600 former military officers/NCOs and ex-State/USAID/CIA employees who are members of the National Security Leaders for America, an organization currently involved in an active plot to overthrow our Constitutional order via an American Color x.com/DanLamothe/sta…" Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius, "Did you happen to catch the part of the plot where Democrat governors will declare the Constitutionally-elected Presidency invalid and seize control of American governance?

At TownHall, Amy Curtis gloats The New York Post Got a Hold of a Document That Further Proves Ilhan Omar Isn't Who She Says She Is. Will Chamberlain @willchamberlain, "The New York Post has obtained and published an official copy of Ilhan Omar's sister's marriage certificate. It describes their father as "Nur Said Elmi," and his profession as a "military officer. More evidence that she is not who she says she is."Mark Hemingway @Heminator, "If only someone had spent 15+ years warning people "fact checkers" were arrogant, explicitly dishonest, censorious, and actively partisan!" Quote Pirate Wires @PirateWires, "Allegations of the Minnesota congresswoman marrying her brother aside… Ilhan Omar’s father was a high-ranking military official in Somalia’s genocidal Marxist-Leninist Barre regime. This fact would have likely disqualified him from immigrating to the U.S. as a Somali refugee — and, by extension, prevented Omar from becoming a U.S. citizen through her father’s naturalization. Snopes and Politifact buried the truth about Omar’s father, averting a scandal that could’ve been disastrous for her political career; @ashleyrindsberg reports." PJM's Stephen Kruiser wonders Dare We Dream That Ilhan Omar Has Finally Run Out of Brothers to Marry?

"The New York Times admits that Ilhan Omar may be a criminal, but since she is an opponent of the president, democracy itself is at stake if she is investigated." From Matt Vespa at TownHall, The Amount of Evidence Against Ilhan Omar Could Scale Everest. Here's the List.

From Ace, To Presume to Overrule a State Anti-DEI Executive Order, a, Get This, DEI Judge Uses AI to Write An Opinion Filled With Fake Cases. "Huh, a DEI hire resorting to AI to do his homework for him. And all to stop the people from ending DEI practices. Who could have seen this coming. There is good news: the Appeals Court was so shocked by the complete DEI incompetence on display that they not only reversed him, they kicked him off the case entirely." We really need a mechanism for getting rid of obstructionist judges permanently.

I'm not saying Lee is right -- he's not. The 20,000 names are ACTUAL Green Card holders with California addresses with USCIS who match names and addresses with registered voters in California's publicly available voter registration list. DOJ never said they all voted in the past. It only asked California to independently verify their eligibility to register because if they were Green Card holders they are ineligible. It is not exculpatry to say, as LA County has said, "Only 28% have vote." That's actually a confession. 0000.00% should have voted if they are Green Card holders...." Quote David J. Bier @David_J_Bier, "Only 28% of a sample of DHS's bogus list of 20,000 voters that it claimed were "verified" noncitizen voters actually voted. So that's 5,600 out of 5 million California noncitizens. That'd be 0.1% (if they are noncitizens, which they probably aren't based on DHS's record)." Quote Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee, "“Noncitizens don’t vote,” they said."

WaPoo, Virginia man charged in damage of Iwo Jima statue near Quantico, "Prince William County police said the violence, enacted with a sledgehammer, left one of the statue’s Marines without a head." "Virginia man" heh. Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh, " BREAKING: Outrage erupts after man named "Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano" took a SLEDGEHAMMER to the historic Iwo Jima statue at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia and knocked the head off one of the Marines HE LITERALLY BEHEADED IT. Dig into his history and find out if he's an illegal! Should be deported regardless! Police caught Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano, 27, of Stafford, in the act around 10 PM Wednesday. They say the damage runs into the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars The 9-foot limestone statue was carved by Felix de Weldon, the same sculptor behind the famous Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington. It honors the Marines who raised the flag over Iwo Jima. He's charged with felony destruction of property, trespassing, and felony injury to a monument, and he's being held without bond. Throw the book at him." Yes, he's illegal. Sentence him to mowing lawn at Quantico for the next 30 years. Then deport.

VodkaPundit at Insty, LE CHANGEMENT: "Testimony from a friend of mine, a shopkeeper in Paris. “My shop was looted on October 17. A motorcycle shop, right in the heart of Paris. Twenty-one years I’ve poured everything into it. I pay my taxes, I’m a family man,” and last night he called all his friends, including me. Tomorrow we’ll be about twenty of us inside the shop, doors locked. If it comes down to a confrontation, we’ll face it. I won’t let myself get looted a second time. Enough with the complaints that lead nowhere, enough waiting for someone else to protect what I’ve built. “Tomorrow, it won’t be the police watching over my store anymore. It’ll be us.” When the State abandons protecting the property of hardworking citizens, all that’s left is this: friends who organize and refuse to take it lying down. Call it a militia if that suits you. To us, it’s just not getting looted again." Lionel Schriver at Da Spec asks Can we be surprised that France has descended into nihilism? Dave Strom, Tell Me This Isn't Totalitarian... "In Germany, the police will start a manhunt for a person who calls a politician "fat."

Flotsam and Jetsam - IS Ukraine Ready to Give Ground?

Don Surber asks Is Zelensky finally surrendering? "Sure looks like Trump finally got the Ukrainian clown to end Putin’s War." "KILMEADE: “Would you accept a peace deal that freezes everything the way it is right now?” PRESIDENT ZELENSKY: “Yes. I think this is a real way to end this war.” I totally support his call for an armistice and I will refrain myself from pointing out that he should have done this 3 years ago. Oops, I did." Hat Hair's Dave Strom thinks European leaders are Getting It Completely Backwards, Which Explains So Much. News Wax cites Trump: Hubbard's Release Not Part of Russia Swap. "President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Russia had released American Stephen Hubbard after four years in custody following a personal appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin. "The United States, out of respect for President Trump, was not required to give anything in return – an unprecedented situation for Russia," Trump wrote on Truth Social early Wednesday. "There was no 'swap' necessary for this release," he added." But I'm sure he's hoping for something in return. RedWave Press @RedWavePress, "Reporter: “Have you spoken to Zelensky recently, and is there any way for the U.S. and Ukraine to repair ties after this meeting?” Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “I spoke to him today. We had a 45-minute conversation. Look, I'm seeing a lot of things in the media that are not accurate, so let me clear those up. And as I did in my conversation with him, number one is the Department of War. Everything they've been doing with Ukraine remains the same. That has not changed.” “The second is intelligence sharing. The president made it very clear. He's ordered no such changes. So none of that has changed, none of it. And I see reporting that it has, but it's just not accurate. It's not true. And so that was important to clarify.” “Now, you asked about sales. I know one of the things that President Zelensky has been talking about is that he's been trying to buy interceptors. And I understand. So does every other country in the world. I also talked to Saudi Arabia today. They'd like interceptors. Israel would like interceptors. We would like interceptors. Every country in the world would like interceptors. And many parts of the world are asking for that....”

At NYPo, Iran is purposely tanking peace talks to hurt Trump at the polls, regime officials admit. So are the Iranians on the Democrat's side or are the Democrats on the Iranian side, or both? Hat Hair's Beege Welborn reports that Upon Further Reflection, UK Terror Police Decide to Rearrest Two of the Fairford Suspects, Iranian catspaws, knowing or not.

From Quotulatiousness, Elon Musk’s evil plan to turn American youth into filthy capitalists, give them a stake in the country.

The midterms are coming. Don Surber explains Trump’s midterm plan, "Why The Donald campaigns against the Michigan candidate in Ohio." At the Blade of Perseus, The Great Victor Davis Hanson delves deep into The Deep Midterms. "Rarely in American history have the two parties been so far apart or the choice between them so stark. In brief, Islamist-sympathizing socialism is on the ballot against free-market capitalism and American exceptionalism."

Polls suck, and midterm polls suck worse for any number of explicable easons, but fake polling is just sabotage, and should be criminal. PJM's Matt Margolis hears A Pollster Just Admitted Faking Its Numbers, and the Fallout Is Huge! After boosting El-Sayed in the primary, Wedgewood Polls admitted their results were invented, saying it was a "social experiment." Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh, "Wedgewood Polls" just announced it was a FAKE POLLSTER and was listed in outlets like the NYT and MSNOW Their "polls": Texas: Talarico+2, Ohio: Brown+4, Michigan: El Sayed+6, Kansas: Hamilton+2, Maine: Jackson+4, This is INSANE." Matt Vespa at TownHall, Remember When Some Were Saying the Polls Were Fake? Well, This Is Quite the Bombshell. Capt.

Clandestine @WarClandestine, "Step 1: Dems rig polls to convince the public that the Dems are going to win the midterms Step 2: Dems lose the midterms Step 3: Dems/MSM tell public that election must have been rigged because polls said they were supposed to win Step 4: Dems/MSM begin new psychological operation to convince the public Trump is a dictator that stole the election Step 5: Dems/MSM attempt to convince public to protest/rise up against Trump." Guy Benson @guypbenson, "Republican pollsters have complained that some of their best ads and attack lines don’t poll well because voters simply don’t believe true things that Democrats are actually doing could possibly be real." Quote Megan McArdle @asymmetricinfo, "This is what I dubbed "stealth extremism": mainstream liberal institutions, including the Democratic Party, routinely doing stuff their own supporters dismiss as an urban legend, because no one would *do* that."

"So they're going to start investigating again. You think he's not on the list? He's at the top of that list." "He has a very big sense of fate. And I think it's coming for him. And real hard."

"Musk is a danger to the Macrons and Carneys of the world because he gives their people freedom, which is toxic to totalitarians. By golly, he’s a madman who bought Twitter and made it safe for anti-globalists!

AP reports Macron slams as ‘stupid’ claims by Trump and others blaming Muslim migrants for French riots. Dave Strom, Macron Now Saying the Images of the Riots Are Misinformation, Muslims Not Involved and John Sexton claims French Looters Aren't Revolutionaires, They're Just Revolting. Dr. Maalouf @realMaalouf, "Myriam was a 7-year-old French Jewish girl. She witnessed a terrorist break into her school and kill two of her classmates. She tried to run but tripped while grabbing her schoolbag, causing her ballet slippers to fall out. She stopped to pick them up. He chased her and grabbed her by the hair, shooting her in the head at point-blank range. The man was Mohamed Merah, and a rap song honoring him and other Muslim terrorists has become the unofficial anthem of the ‘student protests’ in France." Tom Knighton at TAW wonders How can we sleep while...everything is burning. "For example, the riots in France don’t feel at all like any kind of spontaneous protests that got out of hand about the state of education. Not when all of the rioters happen to Muslim “immigrants” who have already made parts of France into no-go zones before it." Matt Vespa is amused when Scott Jennings' Remarks About the French Riots Caused This Lib Guest to Blow Up on CNN. " “Absolutely false. These things that happen in France are because a bunch of students started it because they didn’t like the way that the country was being run. They weren’t getting enough. It’s the same problem that we have all over the world right now. There is not enough for the people that aren’t at the top. There is not enough education. There is not enough money. We are not being paid enough for our jobs. They were French students that started this protest. Has it gotten out of hand? Absolutely. Are terrible things happening there? Absolutely." Lawrence Person's Battlestorm Blog looks at The Communist Network Burning Down France.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Did Ilhan Omar Flunk Her DNA Test?

Well now, if this is true... At Twitchy, WHOA ... So THAT'S What the DNA Is for: Ilhan Omar Is Officially in DEEP and We Are ALL Here for It. Miranda Devine @mirandadevine, "Ahem. Five years ago I wrote a column about DNA test results that showed there was a 99.999998 percent chance that Ilhan Omar and her second husband Ahmed Elmi were siblings. A few hours before we went to press my informant was arrested by Biden's FBI. Funny that." Insider Wire @InsiderWire, "#BREAKING: DNA report says Ilhan Omar and her ex-husband are siblings; Biden DOJ refused to act." But did he preemptively pardon her? Ace sees the Report: DNA Proves Ilhan Omar Married Her Gay Brother, "Is that so." Will Chamberlain @willchamberlain, "WaPo, while attempting to exonerate Ilhan Omar, actually reported some incredibly new, damning information. Ilhan Omar's second husband - the one alleged to be her brother - applied for a green card, was asked about the marriage, and then withdrew his application." Quote Benjamin Weingarten @bhweingarten, "Lo and behold, it appears Ilhan Omar's alleged Brother-Husband had filed one of the same documents that her lawyers were seeking out back in 2019 regarding a petition to convert one's immigration status from conditional to permanent residency." PJM's Cathy Salgado wonders Did Ilhan Omar’s Husband Sell Empty Barrels of Wine? Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok, "HOLY CRAP Ilhan Omar and her husband's winery was SHUT DOWN for FRAUD after they reportedly sold EMPTY WINE BARRELS." To be fair, if you were shutting down a winery, you'd probably be able to see the empty barrels. Not the Bee @Not_the_Bee, "So if all the reports are true, Ilhan Omar lied about her age to make it seem like she naturalized through her father, who apparently she lied about being a citizen in the first place, then used her illegitimate citizenship to marry her brother so that he could inherit her fake naturalization before remarrying and starting a fraudulent winery that sold empty bottles of wine?" The Babylon Bee @TheBabylonBee, "Ilhan Omar Furiously Denies Immigration Fraud Charges, Says She Only Married Brother For Love."

Joe Chalfant at TownHall, Zelensky's Temper Tantrum May Have Just Cost Ukraine American Military Support. Hat Hair's John Sexton cites WSJ: Musk Ordered the Starshield Slowdown in Ukraine, but the evidence seems muddled. Sundance at CTH is all over Ukraine's woes, with Zelenskyy Calls Rubio as Witkoff Travels to Meet Him in Norway, Following 45 Minute Call with Zelenskyy, Secretary Marco Rubio Notes Ukraine Officials are Lying and Manipulative Which He Told Zelenskyy Openly "As noted, Rubio emphasized nothing substantive has changed in the U.S. support profile with Ukraine and President Trump has not modified any security arrangement at all. Zelenskyy is just making stuff up. Rubio noted that Ukraine is targeting U.S. commercial shipping in the Black Sea and that has to stop. That was part of the phone call. Additionally, Rubio emphasized how Ukraine officials are just “making stuff up” for some reason, that can best be considered a Ukraine political operation against the Trump White House. " And Interesting – Following the “Cut the BS” Confrontation by Rubio, Suddenly Zelenskyy Thanks USA and Says All Early Warning Systems “Working Great”.

AP claims China defends DeepSeek after US ban of its AI from government systems. Trent Telenko @TrentTelenko, "The ability to lay mines by drone-subs will be the biggest use case for them in a war with China. The problem is China can and will do the same to Western ports." Quote TWZ @thewarzonewire, "Ghost Shark Extra-Large Uncrewed Underwater Vehicles’ Payload Bay Seen For First Time Ghost Shark will deploy aerial drones, lay mines, and execute seabed resupply missions as part of Australia’s new undersea arsenal."

Sundance hosts President Trump Holding an Oval Office Press Conference Following Announcement from Fraud Taskforce. Ace, Trump Creates $25 Million Fund to Pay Bounties to Whistleblowers Who Alert the Government of Fraud, "If you want to stop foreign pirates, issue letters of marque and reprisal.

From WaEx, Trump administration withholds $1.2 billion in federal Medicaid funding from California, over fraud concerns.

But Where Are The Voters? "The people are souring, and the oligarchs are spending." A Larry video at Hat Hair highlights a Trump’s Pollster Explaining the Voter Turnout Gap That Could Decide the Midterms. Liz Mair at Not Quite Miss Congeniality says Matt Lewis is right: Ted Cruz could totally be a presidential contender in 2028. Yeah, but I'm still leaning Vance/Rubio or Rubio Vance. Put Cruz on the Supreme Court instead. At PJM, Sarah Anderson hears María Corina Machado Has a Message for Midterm Voters and VodkaPundit points out This TDS Sufferer Actually Left the Country, and the Schadenfreude Is Almost Unbearable. ""Annie," to name just one, complained about the "huge misconceptions about access to quality health care" in Britain, and she even admitted that "the quality of life is significantly lower than in the U.S.""

Amy Curtis at TownHall, Abdul El-Sayed's Events Are Astroturfed, and Here's the Proof. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair snickers at El-Sayed's New Pitch to Black Voters: I'm No 'Gas Station Abdul'! "Actually, it's tough to determine who's being racist in Michigan. Is it black voters who worry that El-Sayed has much more invested in 'Palestine' than Detroit? Or is it the candidate who thinks that "gas station Abduls" have poisoned voters' minds against him?" Kevin Downey at PJM calls him El-So Long: The Detroit News Throws Michigan's Jihaddy Daddy Under the Bus. Abe Greenwald at Commentary on The Disavowal Game.

At PJM, Ohio Dem Gubernatorial Candidate Has Mommy Issues That You Won't Believe. Beege Welborn at Hat Hair hears One of the Most Brutal Political Campaign Ads Ever Is Unleashed - 'My Daughter Is a Liar' . Kentucky Girl @Kentuckygirl1, "This is Dr. Amy Acton, the Democrat candidate for Governor. In 2019, there was a police visit to her home after she and her husband apparently got into a drunken domestic dispute. According to the police record, after drinking and taking an unknown amount of medication, she allegedly pulled a mirror off the wall, and was about to start driving until her husband talked her out of it. A medic was dispatched to the scene and advised that Acton be taken to the hospital to get checked out, but she declined. At the time, she was the director of the Ohio Department of Health. This is not a person who should be leading anything, except maybe an AA meeting." Ace, Ohio Democrat Gubernatorial Candidate Is a "Liar" Who "Needs Help" Says... Her Mom in Campaign Attack Ad, "Amy Acton is, reportedly, Kamalaesque in her passion for self-medication." Teri Christoph at RedState reports Hakeem Jeffries Walks Into a Cuban Bakery in Miami and All Hell Breaks Loose. "House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) walked into a Cuban bakery in Miami last week hoping to help a Democrat win a congressional seat, but instead set off a political firestorm that has ended with two Cuban bakeries publicly denouncing socialism."

At the NYT a Midterm Update: Bloomberg Gives $80 Million to Democrats as Election Day Nears. Money in politics is bad, except when it ours. Beege Welborn sees Gloom, Despair and Agony - when the Bulwark Discovers Some Dem Turncoats Financed by Republican Money. From Commonplace, Calling Elections Rigged Is Bad Politics and Worse Civics. "The habit that’s killing confidence in elections—and the party that keeps picking it up."

Eric Florack at PJM asserts Elissa Slotkin’s ‘Deterrence Message’ Has a Name, and It Isn’t ‘Defending Democracy’. Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew, "You are an elected official. You made a public statement encouraging members of the Armed Forces to defy lawful orders. You chose to run for office and subject yourself to that scrutiny. What you are proposing, on the other hand, is a legal/political vendetta against persons for no reason other than they have political positions different than yours. Your goal is to drive them away from public service. That's a Stanlist/Maoist approach to political opposition -- your clearly stated desire is to create a one-party state where political opposition is not just to be rebutted, but to be imprisoned. You're a disgrace -- and I suspect your comments will haunt the rest of your political career. You've likely put a ceiling on any ability you might have had to climb higher." Quote Elissa Slotkin @ElissaSlotkin, "This isn't my first rodeo with President Trump. After calling for me to be arrested, tried, and hanged for a 90 second video he didn't like, he is now attacking me for saying that there will be accountability for people who commit crimes on his behalf." InfantryDort @infantrydort, "THE LAST GATE You may be wondering why there has been a full on attack against the War Department the past couple of years. Coupled with disturbing reports of communists planning some form of uprising, and the picture becomes clearer. Let's break it down so you can remain vigilant: If you want to break a republic without rolling tanks down Pennsylvania Avenue, you don't start with the center of power. You start with the men who guard it. That's the part people still don't seem to understand. The street is noise. The NGOs are scaffolding. The lawyers give the thing language. None of it matters if the military still answers to lawful civilian authority. So you work the force. You teach officers to distrust the chain. Telling them obedience is weakness and resistance is conscience. You turn every single hard order into a moral emergency. Making hesitation sound noble. You make defiance sound constitutional. You scare them, saying they'll be investigated. Sound familiar? You don't need a coup in the old sense..." Quote DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican, "THREAD: The true reason Pete Hegseth is being targeted is because he's standing between President Trump and a coup @PeteHegseth named the institutions... CFR, Brookings, the general class... in 37 seconds in a video by @Liz_Wheeler . Within 72 hours of his nomination, a color revolution planning document cited him as an insider threat. They didn't go after him because of drinking. They didn't go after him because of women. They went after him because every color revolution manual ever written says the same thing: you cannot topple a government unless the security forces defect. And a loyal Secretary of Defense is the one person who makes sure they don't. I have the receipts. Their own documents. Their own training sessions. Their own words on camera. As always, patience as I pull together the thread."

Ace has a Report: Debanking of Conservatives Was Driven by the KKK-Funding Race Grift Organization the SPLC, "Ben Whedon of Just the News... Hat Hair's John Sexton safely predicts More Lawfare on the Way if Democrats prevail in the midterms. Riley Rogerson @riley_rogerson, "NEW — Elon Musk is facing a gauntlet of Democratic oversight next term. Multiple committees — including Foreign Affairs, Oversight and Science — are looking at investigating Musk if they have the gavels.

Hans Mahncke at Da Fed explains How Democrat Activists Conned The Country By Pretending To Be ‘Journalists.’

From Expression, Campus deplatformings hit record high. "For the first time, FIRE has recorded more than 200 attempts to block campus speakers in a single year." At Campus Reform, a Survey finds 45% of students say violence is justified if it stops 'hate speech'. "The Buckley Institute's 2026 undergraduate survey also found students prefer socialism to capitalism and that 22 percent say America deserved the Sept. 11 attacks." Steve McGuire @sfmcguire79, "“Such opinions simply should not be permitted, argued the Columbia Political Review.” Are these some of the kids who are supposedly always on the right side of history?" Quote Adam Lehodey @adamlehodey, "Last week, two Columbia students dared to offer a dissenting opinion on the Cornell case—they got death threats and were told they should not be allowed to speak. @Nikos_Mohammadi and Christina Ma argued no more than that students should think before arriving at sweeping conclusions about a complex case, and that it was infantilizing to suggest women could not make decisions they might later regret. None of their detractors have so-far been able to offer a coherent response to their arguments—except making personal attacks and saying they should not be allowed to speak. In that regard, they've already won the argument."

Sundance reports France Plans to Use Military to Control Riots and Support Police. CBS still going with "mostly peaceful riots": CBS News @CBSNews, "CCTV footage from Nice, France shows the moment a mob of looters broke into a phone case store over the weekend, destroying displays and stealing merchandise. The incident comes after largely peaceful anti-government protests in many cities across France descended into riots, with damage to historic properties and thousands of arrests." At Twitchy, Rob Schneider Lists All the Social Benefits France Has (and Is Burning Anyway). Rob Schneider @RobSchneider, "France has FREE health care, paid parental leave, paid family leave, FREE child care, FREE preschool, 5 weeks paid vacation, a 35 hour work week, generous unemployment and housing benefits, and heavily subsidized higher education. Everything the left says they want AND THEY'RE STILL PROTESTING AND BURNING SHIT DOWN." Matt Vespa at TownHall, Here's What Caused a Liberal Journalist to Suffer a Total Meltdown on Katie Pavlich's Show. Overton @overton_news, "Social justice journalist Lisa Durden MELTS DOWN on air after getting absolutely wrecked about the riots in France by conservative commentator Ben Ferguson. Durden claimed the riots were just “student protests,” but Ferguson wasn’t about to let that slide, and he had the receipts to back it up. Then he delivered a brutal reality check that sent Durden into a fit of RAGE. FERGUSON: “You either have to be incredibly incompetent or totally blind to look at the images and think that this is students that are doing this.” Durden immediately snapped. DURDEN: “What you’re not going to do is call me a pathological liar!” “I’m talking now! You’re not going to call me a pathological liar because you don’t know me, so stop that right now!”"“EXCUSE YOU!”" From Ace, Fox News Identifies 54 Marxist /Communist Organizations Funding and Directing the Riots in France, "Many of these are funded by CCP-connected Marxist tech billionaire, Neville Roy Singham and his awful communist wife," and Feminists: Rape Is a Weapon of White Supremacy.

VodkaPundit at Insty, THAT’S GONNA LEAVE A MARK: "Sorry, but X’s autotranslate feature is so smooth that I don’t always notice — but which X doesn’t do for embeds. So here’s the English translation from the original Portuguese: “Europe will be destroyed by women who project onto those animals the motherhood that belonged to the children they aborted.”"

Florence Pugh
Sidney Sweeney is back in the news, kinda, at The Telegraph, Feminist snobs who attack Sydney Sweeney’s naked body are hypocrites "Except… Boy oh boy, does Sweeney reap a different critical reception – especially from women – whenever she disrobes, or dresses daringly. Pugh's stance is widely commended as empowering. But when Sweeney chooses to pose naked for an ad, she is single handedly reversing women's rights by decades. The actress's recent participation in the prediction market platform Novig's "Just Sports" campaign, saw Marie Claire denounce her for a retrogressive step that "sexualised female bodies". Good thing Marie Claire has never, ever put a naked woman on its cover. Except, hang on, didn't Cara Delevingne "Bare All" on the front cover of their September 2019 "Obsession Issue" (to pluck one of many examples)? Meanwhile the Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer Ariarne Titmus called Sweeney's decision not just, "a kick in the face to every woman who has dedicated her life to perfecting her craft, but every woman who enjoys sport for what it really is". Beege Welborn is outraged (not unusual for her), Oh, Say, Can You See...WNBA Teams Scooting Off the Court Before the National Anthem? I Do. John Sexton wonders Could This Teen Wrestler's Case Be the Last Straw for Trans Athletes? Do trans girls have the constitutional right to feel up cis girls? Now it's Vicky Taft's turn to be outraged at PJM, Girls Are Forced to Compete With Boys in Washington. Now They Sleep and Bathe With Them. "Now the girls need to bunk in with the boys on the team, and the one dude on the team is hazing your daughter. He'd love to be in a "lesbian relationship" (heterosexual, if you're keeping book) with her. Wink, wink. Oh, yes, that happened too. And it's perfectly fine with the state superintendent of schools, who is a complete dyed-in-the-wool leftist whackadoodle, because he reckons there is such a thing as "chest feeding." Reminder, Chris Reykdal is in charge of school science departments too."
