[Bumblebrain’s foreign policy bungling and catastrophes have boosted the fortunes of America’s enemies who have now organized themselves into the Shanghai Cooperation Organization of Asian nations, anchored by China and Russia with India and Pakistan already ensconced, Iran ready to step aboard, and Erdogan working to bring Turkey into the fold.  The SCO promises to become China’s answer to NATO and support its Belt and Road advances into the Middle East and Africa.  While the US continues tangled up in its political nightmare, Team Biden knows as much about this as it does about our "secure" southern border.

    Under reason #190,732,584 to not trust the media here is a the latest variation on the “Republicans Pounce” narrative!
    “A driver charged with fatally striking a teenager in North Dakota allegedly told investigators he purposely hit the teen with his SUV after they had a political argument, according to court documents.”
    Can you find the missing piece of data? I’ll let you read it again if you must, but pay attention to the words “political argument.” And of course, we know that Brandt told police he ran Cayler down because he was a “Republican extremist.”
    But the Associated Press, which, it should be noted, feeds newsrooms across the nation, decided to omit the fact that Cayler was murdered by Brandt for allegedly being a Republican.
    You can read the full story here.
    Other AP headlines as of Thursday night included:
    Trump’s legal woes mount without the protection of the presidency
    Alex Jones testifies in trial over his Sandy Hook lies
    Bank officials urge firing of Trump official over ethics probe
    Ex-Illinois cop charged in 2020 fatal shooting of Black man
    Ohio GOP House candidate has misrepresented military service
    “Art of the steal”: Trump accused of vast fraud in NY suit
    Notice anything? While all of those stories are true, the AP has no problem spinning headlines and stories to fan the flames of outrage and cast conservatives in the worst possible light. Can you say “partisan”? But when one of the Left’s own commits an atrocity that cannot be swept aside, the story is whitewashed to remove any progressive culpability. Running an 18-year-old down and killing him for being a conservative becomes a “political argument.”

    Election 2022. The tight races. K-12 Education is a top priority among Black males and Hispanic females. Take Stacy Abrams in the Georgia Gov’s race. In 2018, Kemp got 3% of the black vote. Currently she is losing 30% of the Black male vote (less likely to vote than Black females) and even Black female votes for a 13 point loss of that demographic, 10% down from 2018. Why? Yes, the economy and inflation comes in 1-2. Well, the Georgia Blacks consider good education for their kids is the hope for their future and desire for their children to have a better life than they have.
    Nevada is currently the closest race with razor thin differences in polling. Yet, the momentum is swinging towards the Senate challenger, a R. Why? Hispanic women want better schools for their kids. Unlike many, they are more optimistic about their kids’ future and look to which party can deliver better schools.
    You can parlay that across many Gov and Senate races (and even State House offices) and the Dems have not offered better public education solutions, improvements, nor school choice. The schools clamor for money with no meritocracy, accountability with fewer students.
    Declining public school enrollments are not just a Blue State problem. Accounting for birth rates, immigration and emigration, and all the usual factors in the pipeline….accounting for all that the Red State and Blue States are seeing declining enrollments. Where did the students go? 7%, give or take, have been yanked by parents and are now being homeschooled or enrolled in private schools. Yes, even in Red States. That tells me that public education is a top priority for those with children across the board. It was the winning formula in Virginia’s Gov race.
    Parental disgust and alarm with public education is a factor in 2022. Generally, R voters are more likely to have children than Dems, whether one likes it or not. When Stacy Abrams is losing some the most likely Dem supporters (educated black females), then that tells you something. Actions speak louder than words. Just my observation.

    White House Midterm Plan: Deny Reality
    https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-midterm-plan-deny-reality
    ————————-
    Let’s not talk of Biden’s policies or Biden’s stances. Let’s talk about Republicans, lol.
    ‘Doocy EXPLODES After KJP Ducks His Abortion Question: ‘You Did NOT Answer My Question!’
    “Continuing to stammer her way along, Doocy fact-checked her by noting Graham’s proposal is only for 15 weeks and not an outright ban.
    Jean-Pierre continued to lie, claiming “it’s a national ban, which will take us backwards and will put at risk the health of women” and would be the first step by “extreme Republican officials” in ending “privacy” and “contraception” and attacking “marriage” (as in gay and interracial marriages).
    “I’m not going to get into specifics here. I’m just going to lay out what — what they have said that they’re going to do,” she hilariously added.
    Doocy seized on that nonsense: “Why not get into specifics? The Republicans are saying we don’t want abortion after 15 weeks. Why can’t you say how many weeks the President thinks the limit is?”
    Jean-Pierre again diverted by invoking House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and the House GOP’s Commitment to America, but Doocy wasn’t having it, saying he’s “not asking about Kevin McCarthy” and instead about “Joe Biden and his position on abortion.”
    After being asked one last time “how many weeks,” Jean-Pierre filibustered with a meandering answer about Republicans “trying to take away the rights and freedoms of Americans.” Doocy tried to push back, but Jean-Pierre moved on to Bloomberg Government’s Courtney Rozen.
    Doocy almost always complies when Jean-Pierre (or Jen Psaki) would move on, but not on this day as he exclaimed, “[y]ou did not answer my question”.

    “Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) replied to a video clip of Cheney vowing to campaign against Lake, writing, “In 2020, when Liz Cheney was the GOP House conference chair, she backed my primary opponent. I won that race 81% to 19%.””
    “Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) also replied to the clip, tweeting, “Liz Cheney gets crushed in her ‘home’ Wyoming by 40+ points… But now we are supposed to believe she has the juice to take on [Kari Lake]?”

    Mexico is cratering
    ‘The Border Crisis Is Just The Tip Of The Iceberg. In Mexico, A Cartel Crisis Looms’
    “The rot in the Mexican state, the report makes clear, goes to the very top. In 2018, just before President Enrique Peña Nieto left office, Ivan Reyes Arzate, a high-ranking member in the Mexican Federal Police, was found guilty in U.S. federal court on charges of obstructing a Drug Enforcement Administration investigation of international drug trafficking and money laundering. The case “represented the first time a high-level foreign law enforcement officer was held criminally accountable in a U.S. courtroom for interfering with a transnational organized crime investigation,” according to the TPPF report.
    But if Peña Nieto’s time in office was marked by a curtailment of U.S.-Mexico law enforcement cooperation, Mexico’s current president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has sought to shut down such cooperation almost entirely. Thanks to a new law pushed by López Obrador’s administration aimed at curbing the operations of foreign agents (clearly aimed at the DEA), decades of U.S.-Mexico bilateral cooperation has been effectively ended. In addition to this new law, López Obrador in April shut down an elite anti-narcotic unit that had worked with the DEA for 25 years.
    Since taking office, López Obrador has pursued a posture of passivity toward the cartels, especially the Sinaloa Cartel, the country’s most powerful. In so doing, Mexico’s president has transformed his naïve campaign slogan, abrazos no balazos (“hugs not bullets”), into a policy framework that can only be understood as a rebuke of the United States in favor of the cartels.”

    Fed Ex is one of those macro-economic indicator companies. They do not make anything, but deliver goods from a huge variety of businesses and manufactures. After revising its forecast ASAP, Fed Ex is telling us that the economy is in trouble. Think of all the companies that use Fed Ex and Fed Ex sees less business. If it was all their customers were switching to UPS or USPS, I could understand the revised down forecast.
    Walmart has announced it is hiring 40,000 seasonal workers for the holidays. Sounds like a lot until you consider last year Wal Mart hired 150,000 seasonal employees.
    The Fed is trying to pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat and affect a soft landing. There can be no soft landing with inflation unchecked. Maybe it will be a soft recession.

    “ATLANTA (AP) — The tale of breached voting equipment in one of the country’s most important political battleground states involves a bail bondsman, a prominent attorney tied to former President Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and a cast of characters from a rural county that rarely draws notice from outsiders.
    How they all came together and what it could mean for the security of voting in the upcoming midterm elections are questions tangled up in a lawsuit and state investigations that have prompted calls to ditch the machines altogether.
    Details of the unauthorized access of sensitive voting equipment in Coffee County, Georgia, became public last month when documents and emails revealed the involvement of high-profile Trump supporters. That’s also when it caught the attention of an Atlanta-based prosecutor who is leading a separate investigation of Trump’s efforts to undo his loss in the state.
    Since then, revelations about what happened in the county of 43,000 people have raised questions about whether the Dominion Voting Systems machines used in Georgia have been compromised.
    The public disclosure of the breach began with a rambling phone call from an Atlanta-area bail bondsman to the head of an election security advocacy group involved in a long-running lawsuit targeting the state’s voting machines.
    According to a recording filed in court earlier this year, the bail bondsman said he’d chartered a jet and was with a computer forensics team at the Coffee County elections office when they “imaged every hard drive of every piece of equipment.”
    That happened on Jan. 7, 2021, a day after the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and two days after a runoff election in which Democrats swept both of Georgia’s U.S. Senate seats.
    The trip to Coffee County, about 200 miles south of Atlanta, to copy data and software from elections equipment was directed by attorney Sidney Powell and other Trump allies, according to deposition testimony and documents produced in response to subpoenas.
    Later that month, security camera footage shows, two men who have participated in efforts to question the results of the 2020 election in several states spent days going in and out of the Coffee County elections office.
    The footage also shows local election and Republican Party officials welcoming the visitors and allowing them access to the election equipment. The video seems to contradict statements some of the officials made about their apparent involvement.
    The new information has made Coffee County, where Trump won nearly 70% of the vote two years ago, a focal point of concerns over the security of voting machines. While there is no evidence of widespread problems with voting equipment in 2020, some Trump supporters have spread false information about machines and the election outcome.
    Election security experts and activists fear state election officials haven’t acted fast enough in the face of what they see as a real threat.
    The copying of the software and its availability for download means potential bad actors could build exact copies of the Dominion system to test different types of attacks, said University of California, Berkeley computer scientist Philip Stark, an expert witness for the plaintiffs in the voting machines lawsuit.
    “This is like bank robbers having an exact replica of the vault that they’re trying to break into,” he said.”

    Speaking about squirrels, I heard that one ran up Newsom’s pants leg and starved to death.

    Yes…much like the president’s spokeshole inadvertently answering a question correctly last week, now a brief glimpse of truth behind the curtain from the Troll doll fronting Michigans 13th district.

    Italy and the UK? Oh my, Brussels will not like this. Wonder what the unelected head of the EU will say about this?
    ‘Italians have dealt another blow to the establishment’
    Giorgia Meloni isn’t a threat to Italian democracy – the European Union is.

    MARGARET THATCHER 2.0?
    British Prime Minister Liz Truss is going big. Her Chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, has unveiled an aggressive program of permanent tax cuts. The Wall Street Journal likes the plan:

    Just when you thought creepy grampa joe could not get weirder and creepier, he does. Should he be called the pedo prez? –
    “Well folks, guess we’re going to do something now, that is uh … a reception,” he said to the team, who remained in position for the photo.
    When the group reminded him that they had to take a few pictures first, Biden agreed but held his jersey folded up at his waist as the cameras clicked.
    The president turned his head and began talking to the team as the cameras continued taking pictures, and then turned to leave again.
    Photographers encouraged him to remain still, some reminding him to hold up his jersey for the pictures.
    The president dutifully held up the jersey, but spotted a group of children in the audience, and encouraged them to come closer.
    “Guys, c’mere,” he said. “Everyone under 15, c’mere. C’mon.”
    He met briefly with some boys and turned to an older girl and beckoned.
    “C’mon, honey,” he said, urging her to come over.
    “I’ve got a daughter that’s two-team all-state, so c’mon,” he said.
    He later knelt down on one knee to look at a young boy, pulled his arm to bring him closer, and pivoted him for a picture.
    One of Biden’s staffers quietly approached the stage, motioning him to leave

    Defund the police but pay 10 times more to protect privileged little me says the ltgov –
    Barnes has “averaged more than 13½ hours of security protection a day — including weekdays, weekends and holidays — at a daily cost to the state of $660 for patrol officers’ wages. That’s more than 10 times the number of hours as his predecessor,” according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
