Flotsam and Jetsam - Anti-ICE Activist Bombs Federal Building

Capt. Ed, Manhattan Federal Building Hit with Molotov Cocktail; Anti-ICE Activist Arrested. Gina Milan @ginamilan_, "43-year-old Army veteran Andrew Arrabaca, an anti-American, anti-ICE, anti-government radical who was arrested today after detonating an incendiary device outside ICE offices in New York City, told agents he didn’t care how many federal workers or civilians he killed. Color me shocked. Spend years demonizing ICE, calling agents Nazis and Gestapo, and eventually some looney tune answers the call. Well done, leftists. Your poster boy delivered." Daily Wire @realDailyWire, "The only civilian injured in today's attack outside NYC's federal immigration building by a suspect seen pushing a cart that read "ICE off our streets" was an immigrant who was there for a hearing. "That's quite unfortunate and quite ironic at the same time."" Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius, "This is an armed revolution against lawful authority, openly led and encouraged by Democrats. At what point will our nation figure out that we are in the midst of a violent insurrection that threatens our national existence, and treat it as such?" DC_Draino @DC_Draino, "This is how you know a Leftist committed the terrorism. Mainstream media calls it “fireworks” instead of an attempted bombing. Just like when Trump was shot in Butler and they called it “popping sounds”." Quote End Wokeness @EndWokeness, "Terrorist tries to blow up ICE HQ in NYC NBC:" Northern Barbarian @xnoesbueno, "OK, they've advanced to the incendiary device and gun phase. Largely ineffective, some flammable liquid, fireworks and a pellet gun, as the guy espousing an idiotic cause appears to be an idiot. It won't always be that way." Quote Fox News @FoxNews, "NEW: The FBI says the suspect who deployed an incendiary device outside a federal building in New York City has been taken into custody. The suspect poured an unknown liquid on the ground, placed fireworks on top of it and ignited them, causing a small fire, according to the FBI. The suspect was also armed with a pellet gun. Two people — a federal employee and a civilian — suffered minor injuries and were treated and released."

From AMAC a reminder, Trump Delivers Shocking New Election Integrity Disclosures in Primetime Address. I didn't find them all that shocking, but seeing more evidence is disquieting. A Larry video at Hat Hair advances the argument that Mark Warner Confirms Trump Was Right About 2020 Election Interference. Tim O'Brien at PJM explores How China Made and Shipped Fake Driver’s Licenses to Tamper With the 2020 Election. Tara Servatius @TaraServatius, "Serious question: Was the FBI working to further the interests of China? -hid Hunter Biden's laptop, censored journalists online who told the truth about it, briefed congress (with lies) that it was a Russian disinformation op. -hid intel about Chinese board of elections hacking and manufacture of fake licenses for use in absentee ballot fraud to elect Joe Biden from congress and president Trump. Allowed those activities to continue. Even ran a "shadow government" to cover it up. -Tried to bury Chinese biolabs operating illegally in America and containing deadly pathogens when they were accidentally discovered -Framed Trump for Russia collusion." Quote Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_ "BREAKING: @SenRandPaul, the Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, has just released internal federal documents which he says show that the FBI intervened and stopped CBP from searching and questioning Peter Daszak upon his return to the US from China at JFK airport." I think they accidentally found themselves on the same side as China, and had to cover that up. The SCIF @TheSCIF, "Colorado Secretary of State Jenna Griswold should be in prison. She leaked a spreadsheet online with all the state's voting machine passwords on it from 2020, and after she got caught, claimed that it "wasn't a security threat." It gets worse. Her office also sent out mail to 30,000 noncitizens, inviting them to register to vote, when they aren't even legally aloud to vote, and told election workers to give ballots to people who show noncitizen IDs. On top of all of that, that same year, her office used Colorado's ballot-tracking system to send messages to specific Coloradans encouraging them to vote, when in fact, they all had already voted, causing massive confusion that had to be cleaned up." But sure, the 2020 election was the fairest ever!

Harold Hutchinson at Da Caller reports Vice President JD Vance Announces Birth Of Newest Son. "Vice President JD Vance announced Sunday that second lady Usha Vance gave birth to the couple’s fourth child...“We are excited to announce that our baby boy, Alec Neel Vance, was born this morning,” the second family said in a statement posted Sunday evening to X. “Usha and the baby are happy and healthy and out kids are overjoyed to meet their little brother.”" Hat Hair's Beege Welborn notices the WSJ Decides to Play Outrage 'Where's Waldo?'

John Sexton at Hat Hair, Wildberries: Ukraine Expands Strikes to Include Russia's Version of Amazon. "The primary rationale for striking Wildberries' warehouses is to disrupt Russian logistics and the supply of dual-use goods, critical electronics, sanctioned goods and the like to the Russian army and Russian arms manufacturers," he said. "The collateral damage from such strikes could also have a serious impact on the Russian economy, as well as a psychological effect on Russian society and, likely, on continued support for the war."

From Ace, Dead Body Found at Home Belonging to Criminal Husband of Bald-Headed Freak Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley "Black Uncle Fester's thug husband:" Apple Lamps @lamps_apple, "Can you imagine if a dead teen with a gunshot wound were found in a house owned by the spouse of a Republican who happened to be a convicted felon and had just received a $2 billion contract from the state? When it’s a Democrat, it’s complete silence." Quote Boston 25 News @boston25, "Family identifies teen found dead inside Mattapan home owned by husband of Rep. Ayanna Pressley https://ebx.sh/3qYHt3" "The only way I can lose this election is if I'm caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy." I'm going to guess that's not even enough anymore.

Hat Hair's Dave Strom has hopes, Democrats Not Doing So Well in Generic Pre-Midterm Polls and explains Republicans Must Tie Democrats to DSA. PJM's Matt Margolis explains Here's How the Democrats Are Blowing the Midterms. "On the generic congressional ballot, Republicans are either tied with Democrats or ahead by three to four points, nowhere near the margin Democrats need to flip the House. A recent Washington Post/Ipsos poll put Democrats up just 48% to 45% on that same generic ballot question. Asked which party they agree with more on the issues that matter to them, voters split 41% Republican to 40% Democrat. Asked which party they trust more to handle the economy, the gap widened: 39% for Republicans to 35% for Democrats." Nick Freitas @NickJFreitas, "Democrats don’t have enough children to be a viable party in 20 years… That’s why they insist on: 1. Lax voting laws (Cheating) 2. Mass immigration (Replacement) 3.

Bonchie @bonchieredstate, "They’ll praise a lunatic who murdered tens of millions of people, and in the same breath, claim they care deeply about a non-existent genocide in Gaza. No one should ever take these people seriously." Quote DSA Watch @DSA_Watch, "Hasan Piker: Mao Zedong is one of the great leaders of this world."

Among all the other things at Ace's Quick Hits, Kamala Harris is running for president. She claims she "should have won" in 2024. Stephen L.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Trump Voting Speech Reactions Day 2

President Trump's address to the nation largely on the problems with our voting system are the talk of the town. Even though, most of this was at least hinted at before, it's useful to have a re-airing of grievances. Matt Margolis at PJM, Democrats Don't Want You to See This Video of Biden on Election Interference. TheFOO @PolitiBunny, "It’s wild how hard Schumer is trying to stop our elections from being secured. lol." Quote Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer "Not now. Not ever. The SAVE Act is dead on arrival in the United States Senate. x.com/atrupar/status…" Rasmussen Reports @Rasmussen_Poll, "Once Upon A Time ... A crazy man claimed that voter data for every American was in China, and the CCP had used secret illegal U.S. election computer access to switch votes in 2020. And the crazy man was mocked & sued. But times changed, and new information came to light ..." Mike Lindell, the My Pillow guy. Ace, Trump: We Recovered Documents From the CIA About Their Scheme to Hide All Intelligence from Me That Could Help Me in My 2020 Re-Election Campaign and Trump: There Is Evidence of a Massive Chinese Effort to Compromise America's Voting Rolls -- But the Deep State Covered It Up, "This is treason. And the death penalty should be on the table." Hat Hair's Dave Strom cites CNN and Blinken in 2024: Yes, China Was Interfering in U.S. Elections. Victory Girls say Yes Virginia, There Were Election Integrity Issues And Data Was Stolen. Ezra A. Cohen @EzraACohen, "Just wait till the American people get the full story on the concerted effort across multiple IC agencies to suppress information related to CCP interference in the election to Biden’s benefit. Who was the ring leader? Several of us stood up to it at the time." Quote Christopher Porter @DrPorter "CIA and ODNI senior leadership harassed and drove me from the building when I said China had interfered in 2020. So thankful that @FBIDirectorKash is standing up for the truth senior Intelligence Community leaders conspired to hide."

Mary Chastain at LI cites Mullin: ‘We’ve Identified 250,000 Noncitizens Registered to Vote’ in Four States, “We also worked with proactive states to identify 28,000 non-citizens on their voter rolls, plus 400,000 individuals that are still registered to vote that are deceased.” Sundance at CTH, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin Outlines 250,000 Illegal Aliens Registered to Vote in Four States.

 According to PJM's Vicky Taft, NBC, ABC, and CNN Blacked Out the President's Speech, So Aunt Mary and Uncle John Deleted THEM. ConfirmBias @Fulcrumbs44, "My guess is that the networks thought that President Trump would be speaking about Fulton County last night. They likely had all of their talking points set. Instead he threw them a curveball, and spoke about the fact that our media had been compromised by foreign entities. While he was revealing they were compromised, they were kind enough to suppress his address....and prove his point!" Cernovich @Cernovich, "Last night the entire media establishment was spooked. Selfie videos and posts from Dems including Kamala. That says it all." Quote 2WAY @2waytvapp, “When I hear complaints from Democrats that, ‘we can’t air false election claims because that will discourage the voters,’ … I say, ladies and gentlemen, the media aired false election claims about ‘Russia, Russia, Russia’ for the entirety of the Trump presidency,” says @MarkHalperin about TV news networks refusing to air Donald Trump’s primetime address. “So get off your frigging fainting couches and don’t tell me that we cannot listen to political leaders making false accusations about an election.” Northern Barbarian @xnoesbueno, "Exactly correct. Still waiting for our shitbag media to do the Pulitzer-winning takedown on that. (They won't. No Pulitzer up that alley)." Quote Stephen L. Miller @redsteeze, "I don't know if any of these claims are true, but what did happen in 2020 was a global pandemic that originated in a Chinese laboratory and was partially funded by USAID and facilitated by Ecohealth Alliance, which, in fact, ended up affecting the election later that year." Ace, The Same Media That Pushed Hillary's Fake Opposition Research About Russia Collusion For Six Years Can't Believe Trump Is Alleging Election Irregularities. "Hillary's oppo fictions were worth reporting -- but an actual scandal with actual documentation doesn't."

At No Pasaran! The Economist Weekly Reveals Its Frustration: Why Won't Donald Trump Let the SAVE Act Go? wretchardthecat @wretchardthecat, "It's not necessary to believe in a specific instance of US voter fraud or system corruption to realize that the current system falls far short of the standard one required of any professional database. Essentially there should be an indexed table of voters with primary keys and a transaction log of their votes related by foreign key to elections. The fact that this is so hard to implement suggests there is great pressure not to make it secure. Creating a technically secure voting system is not the hard part. Wanting one is."

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear says he received multiple calls suggesting McConnell may have died while he was hospitalized. Speaking with Katie Couric, Beshear said two separate calls from government agencies raised alarms and he sought reassurance about McConnell's condition. "I got two calls from agencies suggesting that Sen. McConnell had passed away," Beshear said...." I suspect he's alive, but that he'll never see the Senate floor again.

It's about more that capital. Sensurround @ShamashAran, "Democrats, Please Get Your Act Together..." From Twitchy, Socialists and the City: Cynthia Nixon Scores a Sweet NY Gig After Staying at a Holiday Inn Express "Recently, we reported on the miraculous tale of Christine Marinoni, who managed to land a $200,000-a-year job as the chief of mass engagement (whatever that is) in New York's Department of Education. How did she get the job? Oh, did we forget to mention that she is married to actress, far-left nutjob, and trans activist Cynthia Nixon, who—purely by coincidence, we're sure—had held a huge fundraiser for Zohran Mamdani before he was elected mayor?" Capitalism or socialism, one constant in government is graft.

Mary Chastain again, Dem Rep.

"After suddenly collapsing the foundations of America’s security architecture in the Middle East, President Donald Trump now recalls that Iran is run by crazy liars—and that the point of fighting wars is winning. But is the administration’s new line just more talk?" wretchardthecat @wretchardthecat, ""We are in an essential and existential war with America," [Iran's] Qalibaf said. My comment: His surprise is understandable. The Europeans believed the Israelis would retaliate "proportionately" for Oct 7. Bomb a few symbolic targets in Gaza but stop short of invasion, negotiate with Sinwar. Nor did anyone think the Ukraine war would last longer than WW2. Judging by the British defense budget, they counted on it ending back in 2024 or 2025. As for Iran the French and British fleets (if you can use the term) were going to de-mine the straits just as soon as the war ended, and that should have been some time ago. Instead to Qalibaf's (and everyone's) surprise they unaccountably turned into *real* wars. The kind played for keeps, that end with a last man standing, the sort where the losers, like Hamas, will be hunted down long after they are old and grey, with old Jihadis being shot in their beds by the grandsons of those who perished on that day. "We are in an essential and existential war with America," [Iran's] Qalibaf said. Who pulled a switcheroo on them? After decades of "Death to America" ain't that a surprise."

Flotsam and Jetsam - Trump Says China Messed with 2020 Election, Intelligence Covered for Them

President Trump gave a national address last night, and the major networks, with the exception of Fox, refuse to run it live, preferring to cherry-pick clips to make him look bad. As we expected, the subject was largely revelations about the 2020 elections recently pried out of the reluctant hands of the intelligence agencies, that China hacked the voter roles (why? or was just because they could), and boosted opposition to Trump, that the intelligence agencies conspired to conceal that, the same agencies that pushed the Russian collusion delusion in 2016 and after, and that the American voting system is full of holes by design, from 200,000 illegal aliens (at a minimum) registered to vote, and mass mail-in voting as a potential vehicle for fraud. All stuff we kind of knew. Hopefully, though this is the start of some real actions. So, nothing really new here, but additional confirmations of what we already suspected.

Before the speech, Althouse found "Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee are urging the nation’s top spy chiefs to stop President Donald Trump if he tries to declassify cherry-picked intelligence material that unfairly sows doubt about the 2020 election..." at Politico. So, inciting insurrection. Clandestine @WarClandestine, "This clip is extremely important, because it reveals how the Dems/MSM plan to counter the revelations about 2020. They are going to try to shame MAGA into “letting it go”, because it happened 6 years ago. They are using the Hillary “what difference does it make” defense. They are going to try to belittle and dismiss the magnitude of the findings, in a desperate attempt to avoid accountability for their treasonous activity. They have been caught, and they know it. Their only remaining hope is to convince the American People that it’s not a big deal. They will fail." Teri Christoph at RedState hears She's Back! Karoline Leavitt Torches CNN Anchor's Shameless Gotcha Ahead of Trump's Address to Nation. Northern Barbarian @xnoesbueno, "Tragically, no matter what evidence he presents, it will be disputed, dismissed and/or ignored by people who will shriek dictatorship and election-rigging when he moves to address the corruption. Tragically, because confidence in election outcomes is now a partisan issue. ..." QuoteJoshua Reid | Redpills.tv @realjoshuareid, "BREAKING: If these reports are accurate, Thursday night could become one of the most consequential Presidential Addresses in modern American history. According to @PaulSperry_, President Trump is expected to present newly declassified intelligence alleging: ▪️ Chinese interference in the 2020 election ▪️ Hacking of state voter registration databases, ▪️ A broader intelligence cover-up involving FBI, CIA, and ODNI records, ▪️ More than 100,000 non-citizens including illegal immigrants on voter rolls, If this evidence is released as reported—and the four sets of declassified FBI, CIA, and ODNI documents are made public this Friday—it won’t just reopen the debate over 2020 and potentially lead to indictments. It will set up the predicate for Trump to declare a National Emergency on Election Integrity and Infrastructure." Driscoll at Insty is GETTING READY FOR THE SPEECH: Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius, "Going into tonight's speech, remember this: all the GOP wants to do is make voter fraud detectable and provable. That's it. For some odd reason Democrats support systems that make voter fraud nearly undetectable to a standard a court wlll recognize. Odd, doncha think?"

As usual, sundance at CTH hosts the address largely without comment, President Trump Speech to the Nation – 9:00pm ET Livestream Links. If you prefer with your speech with a little left-wing cant on the side, you can find it at Althouse, "What Trump did NOT do was even purport to show a single ineligible voter voted in the 2020 election, or..." "... that any voting machines were actually compromised, voting machines or voter registration databases breached, or election results inaccurately reported. Overall, this was an underwhelming announcement delivered with low energy that changes nothing about how state and local election administrators should run elections. If his government had actual evidence of noncitizen voting, there would be indictments; Trump has been hounding US attorneys to bring such cases, and the fact that he hasn’t shows that these claims likely have no legs.... He also did not offer anything new by way of policy proposals...."Writes Rick Hasen, in "Trump’s Underwhelming Announcement on Voting Does Not Even Purport to Show That Any Illegal Votes Were Cast in the 2020 Election or That Voting Machines Have Been Hacked or Vote Totals Inaccurate; He Also Made a Pitch to Pass the SAVE America Act But Offered No New Federal Mandates" (Election Law Blog)." Matt Vespa at TownHall, President Trump Reveals What We All Suspected About the 2020 Election in Primetime Address. Mary Chastain at LI, Trump: Declassifying Documents Showing China’s Election Interference and “Deep State” Cover Up. “In light of the brand new and irrefutable information I have revealed tonight, my administration is in the process of notifying states whose election data was compromised by the People’s Republic of China and others.” ThePersistence @ScottPresler, "If I were the Republican Party, I would do a query for every address where 6+ voters are registered. Then, I would go through that list to look for how many of those addresses are P.O. Boxes, vacant lots, malls, businesses, churches, shelters, or other non-residential locations. Then, after locating those non-residential locations, I would see how many of those voters voted & whether they voted by mail."

Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt, "Notice how Nithya Raman just completely disappeared after they blocked us out of the general election? She's not campaigning at all. Like a pickpocket disappearing into the crowd. Just a ghost. I told you her campaign was a scam. Colluding with Bass from the start." From RCP, Latino Voters and the SAVE Act.

It was a trap dressed up as a question, and Ashcroft didn’t fall for it. "I believe that the Attorney General of the United States has the right and responsibility to enforce the law uniformly, and if the law has been broken by the president's 'enemies,' he has a duty," Ashcroft said, adding that lawbreakers "do not become exempt from following the law merely by their enmity to the president of the United States." Then he flipped the script entirely. "As a matter of fact, the people who break the law are in enmity with the people of the United States," Ashcroft said. "We used to call people who break the law, 'public enemies.'"" At Twitchy, CNN Legal Analyst Norm Eisen Flirts With Libel of Todd Blanche on Nicolle Wallace’s Show.

John Ocasio-Rodham Nolte @NolteNC, "Trump is the most dynamic and effective president I’ve seen in over 40 years of watching politics. And even if I agreed with you, I’d still rather have the GOP in power at cocktail parties than demonic Democrats opening the border and butchering kids. I’m fine with complaining about the GOP, even Trump. But this “why should we vote for them” approach is suicide-by-killing-the-good-in-pursuit-of-perfect." Quote Tomi Lahren @TomiLahren, "Replying to @NolteNC I’m a little sick of these republicans talking a big game and riding on Trump’s coattails only to get to DC and shill for the foreigners. We didn’t elect them to go to cocktail parties and fundraise for their next election. It’s diabolical.

And he really, really wants you to know how badly he wants a manly military.", ""In his 2024 book, The War on Warriors, Hegseth worried that the military risked becoming 'effeminate, and apologetic'; he insisted that what liberals really want is 'soft men, and a weak military,' and he scolded 'Pentagon pussies' who refuse to stand up for soldiers on the battlefield. As secretary of defense, Hegseth has blocked the promotion of female military officers, removed the first woman to lead the Navy, and ordered a review of women’s 'effectiveness' in ground-combat roles. He has also used the Defense Department’s social-media channels to post a steady stream of tougher-than-thou videos...."

Flotsam and Jetsam - Scott Bessent Scores

I'm not really feeling a lead-off subject today so let's just start at the top of the Trump administration bin. People are still finding things to enjoy from Scott Bessent's visit to Capitol Hill. Matt Vespa at TownHall, Here's the Question Scott Bessent Pitched to a Dem Senator...and It Really Set Him Off. Cathy Salgado at PJM sees Fauxcahontas get Tomahawked: Bessent Flips the Tables on Sen. Warren Over Affordability “Senator, it may be a bit nuanced for you, but what President Trump is referring to is the media saying that the affordability crisis was generated by this administration, when it was you and President Biden who destroyed the buying power of the American people. So there is an affordability crisis — and you were front and center in it.” Sundance at CTH, Senator Elizabeth Warren Complains that Half of Something She Tripled is Not Less. Victory Girls, Scott Bessent Breaks Mad Maxine’s Broom. From Ace, "Will You Shut Up!:" Low-IQ DEI Congresswoman Maxine Waters "Asks a Question" of Scott Bessent, Then Tells Him to Shut Up When He Answers "The " " " questions " " " were about Bessent's claim that tariffs are not inflationary (so long as they are absorbed by foreign countries and foreign companies)." Twitchy sees Scott Jennings Comes Up Empty in Attempt to Teach Econ 101 to CNN Panelists After Bessent's Testimony. From Sundance, Peter Navarro Warns Congress Seeking to Reinstall de Minimis Tarriff Loophole (sic). From WUWT, CO2 Border Tariff? Don’t Even Think About It, DOE!

Althouse finds "There is an easy familiarity between the two men that allows Bannon to call Epstein a 'schmuck' and 'criminal' and even ask if he is 'the devil' fallen from paradise.", ""At one point, Bannon comments: 'There’s something deeply fucked up with you.' The interview also becomes an exercise in intellectual peacocking as they invoke Socrates, Isaac Newton and quantum physics but pay little attention to Epstein’s crimes. Epstein reveals himself to be a living museum of racial prejudice...." From "'Do you think you’re the devil himself?': highlights from the bizarre, newly released Bannon-Epstein interview/The interview,⁠ revealed in the latest tranche of Epstein files, was reportedly intended for a sympathetic documentary" (The Guardian)." Overton @overton_news, "Bill Maher couldn’t believe he was actually saying it — but he asked the question anyway: “Where does QAnon go for the apology?” ”"

Sundance hosts President Trump Extended Interview with NBC – Full Interview Video, President Trump Makes a Prime-Time Announcement on Healthcare and Lower Cost Pharmaceuticals – 7:00pm ET Livestream and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Outlines Dramatic Decrease in Violent Crime During Briefing.

1945 asserts Russia Can’t ‘Win’ the Ukraine War with 1.2 Million Casualties: Putin’s Great Disaster. I'm not convinced. Hillel Neuer @HillelNeuer, "U.S MARINES SECURE FLAG DETAINED BY WHO: The World Health Organization refused to return the American flag that hung in front of it, saying it has not approved the U.S. withdrawal from the agency—and that owes them compensation. Good news: the U.S. Marines now have the flag."

It looks like the carbuncle that is Georgia's 2020 election is coming to a head. From L. Jagi Lamplighter at Defending the Wood Perilous Election Fraud 101. Hans Mahncke @HansMahncke, "It is almost beyond belief that the agent in charge of a major FBI field office sent this astonishingly shoddy letter to the Fulton County election office, effectively giving advance notice of an impending federal action. His firing does not even begin to address the gravity of what he did." From Ace, Fulton County, GA, Election Office Sues to Get Its Dodgy "Votes" Back (So That Tulsi Gabbard Can't See Them), "The cleanest election in the history of the Earth, and a Report: Fulton County, GA -- Home of Fanny Willis and Darrius "Sweetdick" Honeycum, Esq. -- Had 25,000 More Absentee Votes in 2020 Than Absentee Voters, "Whoops! Whoopsie!" Viva Frie on YouTube, Brian Kemp Buried Credible Election Fraud Evidence – Greenlit Fani Willis Trump RICO! Jesse Kelly @JesseKellyDC, "The Democrat Party is fighting for its very survival in ways it had never had to fight before. Fraud, foreigners, and cheating hold up the Party. All three are under attack. For them, these are not standard political times. The stakes of this for them are extinction." Sundance, SSCI Vice Chair Mark Warner Finds Out DNI Tulsi Gabbard Has Puerto Rico Voting Machines, and is less than keen on the idea, and Senate Intel Chair Tom Cotton Reviews IC “Whistleblower Complaint” Against DNI Tulsi Gabbard and Finds it “Not Credible.”

Matt Margolis at PJM likes how Gutfeld Destroys the Democrats’ Voter ID Double Standard, and It’s Glorious. Althouse, "The Supreme Court... cleared the way for California to use a new congressional map intended to give Democrats five additional seats in the U.S. House of Representatives." ""In a one-sentence order, the justices turned down a request from a group of California Republicans that would have required the state to continue to use the map in place for the last several federal elections in the state while their challenge to the map moves forward. There were no public dissents from the court’s ruling." SCOTUSblog reports."

Mayor Mamdani is failing at his core job: keeping NYC functioning, and Sarah Hoyt says it's a GOOD THING NY CITY HAS A BUGHET SURPLUS … OH, WAIT: Mamdani Offers ‘Free’ Legal Help for Haitian TPS Holders. John Sexton at Hat Hair VIP wonders when DOT Says No to Free Buses. Will This Help or Hurt Mamdani? Probably help. He's going to need a lot of excuses. Ace, Communist Foreign Jihadi Theater Kid Zohran Mamdani Loves the Homeless So He Stopped All Police Sweeps of Homeless Encampments During Severe Weather.

At PJM, Kamala Harris Teaches the Young Hep-Cats About This Whole Internet Thing. Althouse finds "Walz only seemed like a football coach to voters with no preexisting relationship to football. His image embodied the liberal conception of nontoxic masculinity, a reverse Margaret Thatcher." Dave Catron at Am Spec discourses on The Abigail Spanberger Bait-and-Switch, "Virginia voted for a ‘moderate’ — and got a sanctuary state, tax-and-spend ideologue." Matt Margolis hears a Bombshell Report Links Rashida Tlaib to Terrorist Groups. I'm not shocked, are you? VodkaPundit at Insty reports a Newsom Win: High-Speed Rail Sort-Of Almost Nearly Ready to Connect Madera to… More Cows. 

John Sexton hears Mayor Bass Watered Down the Palisades Fire Report and Then Lied About It. LAT admits Bass directed watering down of Palisades fire after-action report, sources say. Say, how's that rebuilding going? From NYPo, CA Congressman Kevin Kiley calls for Congressional investigation into billions of dollars of fraud. From Fox, Four defendants, including 2 Venezuelans, allegedly used 115 stolen identities in massive food stamp fraud. "Joel Vicioso Fernandez and three others allegedly used 115 stolen identities to stock the El Primo Restaurant using fraudulent SNAP benefits."

John Sexton also hears from the NIH Director: 'The Pandemic Was the Result of a Lab Accident', Jay Bhattacharya. Not The Bee reports the FBI finds Chinese biolab in Vegas with vials labeled “Ebola,” “Malaria,” and “Dengue Fever” (the house was also an Airbnb). That's the second one. I'm sure there are more.

From the Chicago Boyz, When Ideology Trumps Everything Else. At Unlicensed Punditry, Mike Smith, claims Power Is a Posture "Why Democrats govern like owners and Republicans like renters—and how confidence, not ballots, often decides who actually leads." Dave Strom, For All That Talk About the 'Far Right,' It Is the Left That Has Radicalized.

Sundance reports Trump Attempted Assassin, Ryan Routh, Sentenced to Life in Prison Plus 84 Months. At Althouse, "Mr. Routh, a former roofer from Greensboro, N.C., never fired a shot during the thwarted assassination attempt on Sept. 15, 2024..." ""... a fact that his lawyer, Martin L. Roth, emphasized on Wednesday. . . . Mr. Routh told the judge before his sentencing on Wednesday that he was a do-gooder, saying, 'I’ve given every drop of who I am, every day, for the benefit of our nation.'" Ace, Would-Be Trump Assassin Ryan Routh Sentenced to Life In Prison, Plus 84 Months "Just when you're looking forward to the end of your life sentence, bang, now you have to serve 84 months." But crazy Democrats remain undeterred. John Sexton reports a Maryland Man Attempted to Kill Trump Official to Prevent 'Fascist Takeover'. A real Maryland man, not a "Maryland" man. Sundance, Maryland Man, Colin Demarco (26), Arrested on Attempted Murder Charges for Plan to Assassinate OMB Director Russ Vought.

Cathy Salgado hears Riot-Torn Minneapolis Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize "In its Nobel nomination, The Nation gushed inanely about the people who deliberately iced streets to cause federal vehicles to crash and who made assaulting federal officers a daily recreation: “While individuals and organizations have been granted this prize since its inception in 1901, no municipality has ever been recognized."" Capt. Ed at Hat Hair VIP notices What the Media Won't Say About Minnesota: Trump Won. Streif at RedState reports Trump Takes a Sledgehammer to Deportation Process and Sets Up a Court Fight With Another Activist Judge "The Trump administration will publish a notice in the Federal Register on Friday that will demolish the slow-moving process of deporting illegals. The proposed rule aims to streamline the current process and reduce the backlog of cases that has nearly brought the system to a screeching halt. That said, we know it faces an uphill fight as federal judges, acting without jurisdiction, will certainly declare the changes improper at some point." Ace, Another One of Biden's Third World Assassins Kills Four in Highway Massacre, "He was given a commercial drivers license by "moderate" Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro. And he's now murdered four people. Doing the murders Americans just won't do."

Mediaite opines The Washington Post Disaster is an Indictment of Both Publishers and Society.
