Democrat Representative Jimmy Gomez accused of sexual assault.
An unidentified woman has accused Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) of sexual assault as part of a House Ethics Committee investigation that was sparked by a Post exposé, according to a statement released by her lawyers Wednesday.Democrats on Capitol Hill believe Gomez, 51, may resign in the wake of the disclosure -- following his close friend Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), who stepped down in April after multiple women alleged sexual harassment or assault.
Attorneys Lisa Banks and Sarah Nesbitt slammed Gomez for publicly claiming that the committee is only investigating "consensual" sexual relations by the married Dads Caucus founder.
"We represent one of the women who was interviewed by the House Committee on Ethics about her experience of sexual harassment and assault by Representative Jimmy Gomez," Banks and Nesbitt said.
"Contrary to Representative Gomez's assertion in his statement, his actions were not 'consensual in nature' with respect to our client. We fully expect that the House Committee on Ethics will come to the same conclusion in its investigation."
The lawyers added: "This is just the latest example of brazen sexual misconduct by a member of Congress. Congress must act to rein in its members who seem to believe that preying on young women working on Capitol Hill is one of the perks of their job."The Ethics Committee started to investigate Gomez after The Post reported in April that he was seen kissing a much younger aide to a different lawmaker in the summer of 2023 outside a backyard party hosted by Swalwell.
Gomez initially denied it, but copped to having an affair in June, admitting to "personal mistakes outside my marriage that have caused real pain to my wife and family," in a statement to CNN that characterized the extramarital relations as "consensual."
The lawmaker issued a similar statement Monday after the committee publicly confirmed its investigation for the first time.
...
Gomez, Swalwell and Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), the last of whom served in the House for a decade, formed a tight-knit crew -- collectively known as the "Cool Kids Clique" -- that developed a reputation for heavy drinking and womanizing.
Gallego has privately admitted to sleeping with House aides who worked for at least two different lawmakers, The Post reported last month. He did not deny the account, calling the story "gossip."
Where is Brooke Baldwin when you need her to jump on a dick-grenade?
Another socialist turns out to be a rich bitch living on his daddy's dime.
Anti-rich DSA leader Gustavo Gordillo lives it up in posh $1.5M NYC pad paid for by millionaire parentsThe millionaire parents of a whiny top DSA leader have set up their socialist son in a $1.5 million Brooklyn home -- where he lives while railing against the rich and property ownership, The Post has learned.
Gustavo Gordillo, the 38-year-old co-chair of the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, is peddling his anti-capitalist lefty agenda while enjoying the life in the two-story, nearly 2,000-square-foot row home on a gentrifying tree-lined block in Bed-Stuy.
"I wish my family could afford to buy me a million-dollar home," said local renter Faith Smith, 36 -- who called the socialist Yale University grad a hypocrite.
"It's a rich kid,'' she said of the Yalie. "That's basically people who don't have to deal with the struggles we have to deal with."
The Ivy League radical's converted single-family home was bought in 2019 by his mommy and daddy through a dummy corporation, Chucuito LLC, for just under $1 million, property records show.
Since then, it has undergone a major facelift, with renovations done to its entire front facade, the planting of lush landscaping, the revamping of the interior and the addition a pair of decks on the roof as well as near the front door, according to plans filed with the borough in 2023.Updates to the property continued Tuesday at least on its second floor, The Post observed.
"My son and my other son both live there," Gordillo's father said when reached by phone. "The LLC purchased the home, and then we did the renovations."
Gordillo and his DSA comrades have meanwhile railed against property ownership, calling for a redistribution of land "from landowners to the landless."
Gordillo also recently attacked landlords in a vitriolic interview on Fox News last month, when he offered up little sympathy for property and other business owners who skate by with small margins.
"We don't think that anybody should have the constitutional right to double-digit returns on their investment," he said....
It was unclear whether Gordillo, who listed the LES one-bed, one-bath as his primary residence at that time, repaid his parents for rent.
Calls to him were not returned.
Another rich-bitch socialist layabout, via beckster:
Hon. Vickie Paladino @VickieforNYC44m
Very interesting email just came our way about yet another superstar DSA rich kid who needs his parents to bail him out. Shocking, I know.
So it turns out that DSA strategist Morris Katz was, according to this very reliable source, renting a $5,700/month luxury apartment on Lorimer Street in Brooklyn and just stopped paying rent one day.
He apparently bounced several checks, dodged calls from the management company, super, and landlord, lied about being 'out of town', overstayed his lease, and then left all his belongings behind to be dealt with by the staff.
Ultimately his rich parents, of course, bailed him out with the landlord, presumably to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars.
Again, this is the DSA. A group of spoiled brats who cannot even manage their own lives, yet supposedly have all the answers for how our entire world should be run. An absolute joke.
Many more details to come on this. Stay tuned!
A women-only Korean spa in Lynnwood, WA, is petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse a Ninth Circuit court ruling that requires the facility to accommodate transgender individuals.The legal battle stems from a complaint filed by a transgender woman who had not undergone gender-affirming surgery and was denied admission to the facility.
According to attorneys who are defending the spa, the state of Washington said the spa must allow males who identify as women into its nude, female-only facility.
What we know:
Olympus Spa is a traditional Korean day spa that serves women and girls ages 13 and older, offering services in communal areas where patrons are fully unclothed.
The spa is asking the nation's highest court to overturn a decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
According to attorneys with the Alliance Defending Freedom and Pacific Justice Institute, who are defending the spa, the state of Washington said the spa must allow males who identify as women into its nude, female-only facility.
Kevin Snider, chief counsel with the Pacific Justice Institute, stated that the company's policy is rooted in both religious beliefs and traditional cultural norms regarding modesty.
"They believe that men and women should not be unclothed in each other's presence unless they are married to each other," Snider said. "That's their Christian view, and then of course... it violates their cultural sensibilities."
...
What's next:
If the Supreme Court agrees to review the petition, consideration would likely take place in late winter or early spring, with a potential ruling issued sometime in the spring.
Quantus Insights @QuantusInsights
Really interesting work from Patrick Ruffini. Across 3,312 Senate polls over four cycles, he finds a D+3.7 average error, with 73% overstating Democrats. Even more interesting is that the error peaks around D+5.9 in late July before narrowing toward Election Day.That adds an important dimension to what we found in our broader Quantus Insights Apr 23, 2025 study. We documented a persistent post-2016 directional error, including roughly D+4.2 across presidential battlegrounds, with some of the largest misses among working-class, rural and non-college electorates.
Aside from this problem being directional there's also a seasonal component too, particularly in midterms, when summer polling can substantially overstate Democratic strength. It's not until days into October before the electorate comes into clearer focus.
Senate (2020) / 2016 - 2024 Battlegrounds.
Some Jewish Democrats are exhorting others to join them in voting for Mike Rogers for Michigan Senator.
Jewish leaders in Michigan are circulating an open letter urging Jewish Democrats and independents in the battleground state to sign their names in support of former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) as he faces Abdul El-Sayed, the far-left Democratic nominee for Senate whose hostile positions on Israel have alarmed many Jewish voters.The letter, which was obtained by Jewish Insider on Wednesday and has not yet been publicized, is led by Eric Bronstein, a Detroit businessman, among others identifying as Democrats and independents.
It came to light after a fundraiser for Rogers on Tuesday night hosted by three prominent Jewish Democratic bundlers in Michigan who are likewise alarmed by El-Sayed's candidacy. The growing efforts among Jewish Democrats to rally support for Rogers in the key Senate race illustrate the degree to which El-Sayed has alienated a sizable and politically active swing voting bloc in what is expected to be a close election.
"We know it is unusual for many Jewish voters to support a Republican candidate for senate and we understand the implications," Bronstein wrote in a recent email courting Jewish signatories that was also reviewed by JI. "Our fellow Jewish voters need to see their friends and neighbors -- including you -- willing to take a stand in this specific, crucial race."
Bronstein did not immediately return a request for comment on Wednesday.
The open letter, which the authors intend to share online once it has gained "a significant initial group of signers," emphasizes that many signatories "have been fiercely supportive of Democratic candidates and principles."
"All of us have felt threatened and alienated by the politics and allies embraced by Abdul El-Sayed," the letter continues, "which has included demonization of Jews, equivocation on terrorism, exclusion of Jewish Americans from public life, and expression of implacable hatred of the world's only Jewish nation."
If El-Sayed were to claim victory in the general election, the authors say, "we fear the far-left and anti-Jewish elements in the Democratic party would become dominant, including in the imminent 2028 presidential race," when Michigan will be among the early nominating states in the Democratic primaries. "We cannot allow him to become the Democratic standard-bearer or Michigan's senator."
Abdulrahman El-Sayed doesn't need Jews, though. He's pitching himself to Christians by telling them, "I'm basically Jesus, because we're both radicals."

Former CNN Hypartisan News Prude Brooke Baldwin: I'm a Strong Professional Woman and So I Want You to Know I'm Really Good at Dick-in-Vag Sex
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Ah yes, prudish, priggish Male Gaze-shaming feminists using their hooters and pooters to advance themselves.
Many such cases, as Elon Musk says
Ex-CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin gets stunningly candid about her sex life: 'Pretty damn good'
Was anyone asking? I sure wasn't.
Brooke Baldwin is opening up about her sex life in startlingly candid fashion -- declaring she's "pretty damn good" in bed, revealing four different men recently tried to sleep with her and insisting casual sex was "very much on the table" before she turned them all down.
This sounds a lot like a whore bragging.
The former CNN anchor, 47, made the eyebrow-raising admissions in a Substack post published over the weekend, writing that she had recently rejoined a dating app and found herself fielding attention from four men -- including one who "used to run a country," another who "literally flew in just to take me to dinner," and a third she described simply as "hot.""Bottom line? I am flattered," Baldwin initially wrote before catching herself.
Oh wow, a divorced woman joined a dating app. Breaking news! Thanks for sharing.
Now she remembers she's a feminist and so she's not supposed to feel validation due to the sexual attention of men. So she questions if she's flattered and all, and decides she's not, because it's obvious she's hot.
"Hang on. Am I???""That's so old-school-Brooke-I-just-want-to-be-Chosen talking. No. I'm not flattered. I'm... unsurprised. There. There's the truth."
The veteran broadcaster, who was previously married to British producer James Fletcher before she filed for divorce in 2023, said she ultimately rejected all four men despite describing herself as someone who enjoys sex."What did I do?" Baldwin wrote. "Turned them all down. Every. Single. One."
"And y'all know... I love sex. If I may be so bold, I'm pretty damn good at it."
She added that she has previously written that "sex to me is like oxygen" and said she has been upfront that she is "not looking for a serious relationship right now."
"So casual sex? It's very much on the table. I've thought about it. A lot," she wrote.
"It could be empowering. It would almost certainly be pleasurable. And I'm a grown-ass woman with choices."
She wants you to know that she's a whore, but she's saving her Whore Energy for "a larger purpose."
Baldwin said she nevertheless decided against sleeping with any of the men because she wants to devote her energy to what she described as a larger purpose.
"In this particular season of my life, I care too much about what I'm building to let my energy scatter in a dozen directions," she wrote, describing that philosophy with a single word: "LEAKY."
"It isn't punishment. It's protection. Protection of the life I'm trying to build."
Men and women have different ways of dealing with middle age. Men, infamously, spend a lot of money on a sportscar they've coveted since they were 15.
But women, particularly leftwing women, deal with middle age by going through a "Messianic Phase," in which they suddenly become Philosopher-Priestesses who have So Much to Share with the World. If they're rich celebrity women, they adopt a Whitman's Sampler pack of third world children. They also tend to start Lifestyle Brand online businesses where they sell candles that smell, they advertise, like their private parts.
They also sometimes just sleep around a lot. Brooke Baldwin is combining the two Copes.
I'm not a prude, but I do object to someone of such slight public interest deciding she's going to Overshare the mundane details of her tawdry life with all of us.
Is that really for us? No, of course not. It's for Brooke. She's not being validated enough since CNN fired her -- a "negotiated settlement," as she calls it -- so she's going to validate herself.
And she's got more unsexy tidbits to share.
Note to gentlemen who prefer blondes: she's not interested in a one-night stand.Former CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin said she craves "more intimacy" in her relationships -- and gave The Post a clue about the next steps in her career.
..."I don't want less intimacy. I want more," she wrote in the post published Sunday.
"I love being deeply known, and knowing someone deeply in return," she added. "Instead I crave spaciousness -- in partnership or out of it."
Again, who is asking?
No one. She's doing what insecure women do, which is to go on social media, say something sexual, and wait for desperate men to tell them how hot they are.
I mean, this is the image she's using to drum up attention:
I hope no one out there is so naive or innocent as to think she chose the word "leaky" innocently, unaware that this word, in connection with the words "casual sex," suggests the sloshy aftermath of sex.
I'm not a prude, I'm so sick of "feminists" claiming they don't want to be seen as sex objects and then ringing the sexual Dinner Bell whenever they want to promote themselves.
Baldwin's latest essay also offered a tantalizing clue about her professional future.The former anchor revealed that she is "building something of my own now" and added parenthetically: "we start shooting in two weeks!!!" She did not provide additional details about the project on her blog.
White Aging-Feminist Messiah Complex. "I have so much more to give. There must be something more to me. Right? Right? There has to be! I'm almost sure of it!"
It's the whole Eat-Pray-Love cycle. Have casual sex, spend money on restaurants, buy some trinkets and incense and get "spiritual."
She has some media project that will Heal Us All.
And maybe some candles that smell like her privates.
I'm in control of my sexuality, Male Gazers! Here is a picture of my breast implants to show you that I'm the one in control of my sexuality, Male Gazers!
I bought these for me, not you!
But in a statement to The Post, Baldwin revealed that she has spent the past several months developing an independent journalism project called "America, Tell Me Everything," which will take her around the country reporting on women from different backgrounds.
There you go. I can feel the healing already.
"After twenty-plus years in mainstream media, I'm doing journalism on my terms," Baldwin told The Post on Wednesday, adding that she plans to tell stories with and about women "whose lives and experiences may look nothing like mine or each other's."
The revelations come after Baldwin stunned readers last month by dishing about her sex life, revealing that her rejected suitors include a man who "used to run a country" and another who "literally flew in just to take me to dinner."
While she declined each opportunity, she left little doubt about her enthusiasm for sex itself.
...
Baldwin wrote the piece on a flight back home from Paris, describing the trip as largely solo. She didn't divulge who, if anyone, she spent time with in the famously romantic capital.
The scribe delved deeper into what she has learned about maintaining her independence and boundaries while in a relationship, writing that she has a tendency to nurture those around her to such an extent that she can lose sight of her own needs.
"I love to give. And if I'm not careful, it's also one of the quickest ways I leave myself," she wrote.
Is she 14? Is this MySpace?

Fake News Jake Blames the "Horrific" Fall of Kabul on Trump, Without Mentioning that It Was Joe Biden Who Actually Oversaw the Botched Bugout
—Disinformation Expert Ace
He's always the last to know.
Jake Tapper Notes the Anniversary of the 'Horrific' Fall of Kabul, With One Glaring Omission
Objectivity in the media stands as the elusive conceit for many. Journalists love to tout that as their standard, yet for so many, it stands as a supreme challenge. Look, we get it; the desire to slam President Trump and the administration is substantial, but when Jake Tapper cannot even deliver the barest amount of balance, well, that is a sign of a problem.Maybe it is a pathology. The effects of TDS are substantial, sure, but can there not be some sign of an effort being applied? Tapper set the table to serve both sides, then removed the chairs to prevent participation in one half of the setting.
On State of the Union he closed out the episode wanting to recognize the fifth anniversary of the failed pullout of American troops from Kabul. All just fine, so far. He acknowledged the FUBAR nature of that mission, and used proper terms to describe the calamitous extraction efforts. "Disastrous", "horrific", and other negatives were employed, all accurately.
It was inevitable, sure, that the fall of Kabul, and Afghanistan (what could more accurately be described as a surrender) would fold into the current Iran conflict. Tapper brought up President Trump, and also Secretary Pete Hegseth in his segment. But what was remarkable was what he did not mention.
Throughout his soliloquy, the name "Joe Biden" was never uttered. The former president was never pictured in the graphics as the CNN anchor spoke, unlike the current officeholders. This is a remarkable effort to elide by the host, given the stern descriptions he gave of the extraction from Kabul. Something that stands as one of the biggest scars on the Biden term in the White House does not merit mention of the man?!
To see just how much Jake Tapper strained to avoid mention of Biden, look at the passage he used first to bring up Trump's name: "Many Afghans who fought with the U.S. -- risked their lives for the U.S. -- remain stranded abroad after the Trump administration halted the special immigrant Visa program."
Fake Jake is All About the Troops, including the Taliban troops.
This is Jake using willful obfuscation. It needs to be pointed out, apparently, on this, the 5-year anniversary, that bringing Afghan allies to the U.S. has been a problem for at least 4.6 of those years. The president at the time, whom Tapper does not want to invoke in his memoriam, was being scorched by his own party in the months following the Kabul fiasco.We understand Tapper's desire to steer away from culpability with Biden. But bringing up what has to be considered his most glaring failure while straining to avoid tying him to that debacle is pure folly. It is also undiluted bias on display.
Speaking of scandal-plagued fake "journalists:" A leftwing "reporter" and major dicksuck for Zohran Mamdani has been found to have committed plagiarism 67 times and has been fired by New York Magazine. (Well, they will no longer publish his work.)
He shouldn't bother killing himself, though, because he's white so people are allowed to notice his fraud and plagiarism.
New York Magazine has ended its publishing of political writer Ross Barkan after an internal review found 67 pieces that contained improperly attributed language, information, and/or sourcing.The magazine launched the review after a Washington Post reporter flagged similarities between the opening of one Barkan story and an earlier piece he had written on the same subject. NPR later reported additional plagiarism allegations.
New York Magazine said in a statement that the 67 columns "did not include proper attribution of language, information and/or sourcing." The publication said it is updating the affected articles with proper attribution and remains "committed to addressing any other instances that come to light."
"Upon conclusion of the review, we have determined that we will no longer publish his column," New York Magazine said. "We regret that his work did not live up to our editorial standards, and apologize to the writers whose work was not appropriately attributed."
...
"In the course of nearly 250 pieces, there were times I should have been more careful with my citation," he added. "I'm sorry about these errors and will work to do better, more careful work in the future."
Barkan has been a prominent supporter of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Mamdani served as campaign manager for Barkan's 2018 state Senate campaign, a connection Barkan has referenced in his Substack and elsewhere.

Fauci's Partner-in-Crime David Morens Pleads Guilty to Illegal Evasion of Federal Records Laws (to Cover Up His Complicity in Covid)
—Disinformation Expert Ace
The media is largely ignoring this story, to focus on the Real News, which is Democrat Senator Jon Ossof's WITHOUT EVIDENCE conspiracy theory that Trump is having an affair with his aid.
David Morens, former NIAID adviser, pleads guilty in COVID-19 records scheme
Washington -- A former senior adviser at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has pleaded guilty to a charge stemming from a scheme to hide federal records during the COVID-19 pandemic.Under a deal reached with federal prosecutors in Maryland, David Morens, 78, agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit offenses and to defraud the United States. He faces up to five years in prison.
Morens, a senior adviser at NIAID's Office of the Director from 2006 to 2022, was indicted in April and charged with five counts for what prosecutors said at the time was his role in a scheme to defraud the U.S. by shielding federal records related to the COVID-19 pandemic from the public.
Tim Belevetz, a lawyer for Morens, said, "By pleading guilty today, Dr. Morens has taken responsibility for what he did and will continue to do so."
Does that suggest that he's flipped and will testify against Peter Daszack -- and Anthony Fauci?
I know Fauci seems to be protected. But I'd like the truth on the record, even so.
Prosecutors said Morens worked with two co-conspirators. The first, "co-conspirator 1," served as the president and CEO of a New York-based nonprofit that received a grant in 2014 titled "Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence." The Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China, received a subaward from the New York group on the coronavirus grant, prosecutors said, though the National Institutes of Health terminated the award in April 2020 following allegations that COVID-19 emerged from the lab. The NIAID is part of the NIH.The second co-conspirator was described in charging documents as a physician, scientist and professor who worked for an academic institute that received federal grants.
Emails made public by the GOP-led Select Committee on the Coronavirus Pandemic indicate that the New York-based nonprofit is the EcoHealth Alliance and co-conspirator 1 is its president, Peter Daszak.
...
According to the guilty plea, Morens and the two co-conspirators agreed to exchange emails about COVID-19 and its origins, as well as the terminated coronavirus grant, through Morens' personal Gmail account, rather than his official NIH account, to hide federal records and evade public records laws.
Morens and his co-conspirators also used his Gmail account to share nonpublic information from the NIH about COVID-19 and "back-channel" information to an unidentified senior NIAID official, who appears to be Anthony Fauci, the institute's former director, according to court filings.
Morens also admitted as part of his guilty plea that he and co-conspirator 1 conspired to pay illegal gratuities. Court records show that Morens received two bottles of wine in June 2020 from co-conspirator 1 for his "behind-the-scenes shenanigans," which were delivered to his Maryland house.
He also accepted a dinner at a Michelin-rated restaurant.

Virginia Mother Slaughtered in Daylight By Yet Another Violent Foreign Criminal Invited Into the Country by Joe Biden
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_BREAKING: I'm told by federal source that the suspect arrested in Fairfax County, VA for the stabbing murder of a mother near a jogging trail in Great Falls, VA is a Salvadoran illegal alien who was caught and released at the border by the Biden admin in El Paso, TX in April 2024. Fairfax County Police announced the arrest of 19-year-old Alexis Antonio Cedillos-Campos this morning in connection to the stabbing killing of Carmen Lizet Puch on Monday and released a photo of his arrest.
I've also included a photo of Cedillos-Campos from when he was in Border Patrol custody in 2024, courtesy of a federal source. NBC Washington reports Puch was 42-years-old and had a young daughter.
End Wokeness @EndWokenessUPDATE: He is an illegal that crossed the US border in 2024
Biden's DHS released him
I have a big update to a story I linked, but didn't really explore, yesterday.
Yesterday I mentioned that Fairfax County "prosecutor" Steve Descano -- supported by George Soros, of course -- had allowed a violent extremist Islamic killer to escape the country. First, he pressured a judge to find him not guilty of murdering his landlord by reason of insanity.
Then, he let the guy go to the airport and flee the country.
Here's the update: I sort of assumed that this was an unintended outcome. Yes, Descano is awful and attempts to drop charges against every foreign criminal, but it never occurred to me that he deliberately helped this Islamic foreign murderer flee the jurisdiction.
I think I was wrong. Descano actually helped get this guy a passport and then allowed the mental hospital he was being kept at to let him out for a weekend furlough.
At which point he somehow obtained a plane ticket and fled the jurisdiction.
Descano won't deliver killers over to ICE. But he will get them a passport and let them go to the airport to flee the country as free men.
[9WUSA:] A man named Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda is an illegal immigrant who entered the country back in 2009. A decade later, in 2019, Toshpulodzoda was accused of murdering his landlord in Vienna, Virginia.
Around 8:30 a.m. police responded to a stabbing in the 2900 block of Edgelea Road in Vienna, Virginia. Police found 61-year-old Mohammed Hemmatian suffering from stab wounds to his upper body. He was taken to the hospital, where he later died. The medical examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine cause of death.The suspect, 27-year-old Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda, stayed at the scene and was arrested and charged with murder. Toshpulodzoda was taken to the hospital for a routine evaluation, and while there he suffered a medical emergency. He is now stable.
So there was really no question what happened here. Hemmatian, the elderly man who died, was Toshpulodzoda's landlord. Toshpulodzoda was covered in his blood. But, likely because of the pandemic, his case seems to have dragged on until 2022 when he was judged not guilty by reason of insanity. He was committed to the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Development Services and wound up in a mental hospital in Falls Church, which is directly adjacent to the city where the crime happened.
And that really should have been the end of his story, at least for many, many years or decades. But of course that's not what happened. Instead, a judge made clear that Toshpulodzoda was not to be released, but it seems the hospital had the right to issue patients day and weekend passes and they appear to have just ignored the court's directions.
In June, a judge reaffirmed that Toshpulodzoda "shall not be released from custody and inpatient hospitalization without further order of this court."However, Virginia law allows a mental health hospital to grant committed individuals, including those accused of murder, permission to leave the facility without an escort on day or weekend passes.
In 2024, Toshpulodzoda was allowed to leave Virginia last year to travel to Washington, D.C., to get a passport, a move supported by the Commonwealth's Attorney.
Why would Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano ask a murderer deemed insane to go and get a passport? Your guess is as good as mine.
Sean Kennedy is a victim's rights advocate who says Descano and the State failed the victim and the victim's family..."The law in Virginia allows the psychiatrist, the same ones who are pushing for his release, to escort him to the courthouse and to issue these without a judge's ruling," said Kennedy. "The passport was issued at the behest of the prosecutors. They asked that he go and get a passport. Why would an accused killer who's mentally insane need a passport? He's being indefinitely incarcerated by the state. Why does he need a passport? The judge, the prosecutor, even his own defense counsel crossed the line in allowing that. And the psychiatrists were totally derelict in their duty to help him do it."...
Descano's office said it's true that prosecutors did not oppose him taking an escorted visit to get his passport. But Descano's office said prosecutors opposed his release and that he should remain in state custody.
If they didn't want him released, why would he possibly need a passport in a mental institution. It's hard to come up with a possible answer to that one but you have probably guessed by now what happened. Last month, Toshpulodzoda was given another weekend pass and this time he bought a plane ticket and fled the country.
Steve Descano is a radical who refuses to deliver wanted foreign criminals to ICE and in fact refuses to charge illegal aliens so that they won't be deported.
But he seems to have deliberately assisted a murder's flight from punishment here.
This is a crime. As Sexton points out, Hannah Dugan was charged for attempting to help a foreign criminal flee her courthouse.
The DOJ must investigate Descano -- and if he's guilty, he must be imprisoned.
This is not just obstruction of justice. This is insurrection.

LOL: Secret Architect of Trump's Impeachment, Ukranian Agent Alexander Vindman, Defeated by Lunatic DSA Candidate in Race for Senator from Florida
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Ashley Moody, who took the seat when Marco Rubio took All the Jobs in Trump's government, was already a lock, but now she's the Iron Clad Lock of the Week.
Lieutenant Bearclaw will spend more time with his pastries.
Far-left Florida state lawmaker Angie Nixon shocked retired Army Lt. Col. Alex Vindman in Tuesday night's special Democratic Senate primary.With most of the expected vote in, Nixon led Vindman, 56% to 44%, giving the far left a major success on an otherwise disappointing night in the Sunshine State.
...
Nixon, 42, has been a member of the Florida House of Representatives since 2020, representing parts of her hometown of Jacksonville.
Ahead of the primary, Nixon received endorsements from "Squad" Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.). Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.).
Nixon was also backed by pro-Palestinian children's YouTuber Ms. Rachel and anti-Israel ex-Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.).
It's a Who's Who of Who's a Commie. Pronouns shim/sher.
Like other far-left candidates in primaries around the country, Nixon has vowed to push for "Medicare for all," abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and end US aid to Israel if elected.Her victory came despite Vindman's massive fundraising advantage and name recognition stemming from his role in Trump's impeachment.
Vindman had raised more than $16 million for his failed campaign while Nixon took in a meager $975,000, according to Florida Politics.

Trump himself reveled in Vindman's defeat Tuesday night.

Wednesday Morning Rant
—Joe Mannix
With the primaries more or less over and the general election now peeking over the horizon, everybody's favorite silly season pastime is getting ready to kick into high gear: polling. Yes, "polls are for strippers" and I don't much care what public polling says. This is especially true given some of the, ahem, "interesting surprises" in various primaries (especially in California and Minnesota) that seem to indicate that polling won't reflect reality even if polling itself could be a reliable indicator of reality. Nevertheless, we persist in one of our preferred national distractions.
Although I do not find polling to be interesting or particularly meaningful, I do sometimes find interest in reporting about polling. Regardless of what any given poll says, its coverage will help reveal what the establishment's opinion is or provide additional clarity about establishment attitudes. Fox News recently provided a good example of what I find interesting about poll coverage. They were covering a Marquette poll that included questions about Trump's job approval.

The Morning Report — 8/ 19 /26

Again, El-Sayed’s mother was helping the financial operations of a network that supported one of the most infamous terrorist leaders of modern times (Bin Laden), who orchestrated the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans in 2001. That same network supported a terrorist group (Hamas) that committed the worst single day of slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust in 2023. And the “charity” network propped up the genocidal Jihad group that has spent years committing atrocities in Afghanistan: the Taliban. El-Sayed has not publicly distanced himself from Elkomy’s past, or indeed, from Islamic extremist groups in general. Why should he, when Islam explicitly teaches that Jihad is praiseworthy? Again, CAIR not only donated to him, but officially endorsed him and encouraged people to vote for him. If a terrorist front group endorses you, that probably means you are likely to promote the goals of Jihad. And the Muslim Brotherhood celebrated El-Sayed’s primary win. El-Sayed certainly — and proudly — supports wiping Israel off the map.
Welcome to Michiganistan! Where we all slam for ISLAM!!!
And despite New York City, the most Jewish city on the planet outside of Israel itself went utterly meshugah by voting in Momzer Mamdani, this still happened.
Now the largest Catholic civil rights group in the United States — the Catholic League for Civil and Religious Rights — has also asked Mamdani to stay away from the 9/11 ceremony, for the same reasons that the families and friends of those murdered on 9/11 gave. More on that demand can be found here: “Largest Catholic Civil Rights Group in US Urges Mamdani to Skip 9/11 Memorial Ceremony,” by Shiryn Ghermezian, Algemeiner, August 6, 2026:
Well, leave it to Bill Donohue and the Catholics to step up and do the right thing. But there is no way that that evil scumbag is going to skip the 9/11 ceremonies. Because for him and every other Muslim on the planet, 9/11 was not an horrendous tragedy, to them it was a glorious victory. I fully expect ululations and the passing out of candy and Halvah in every Muslim neighborhood this side of the M-79 star system. I wouldn't put it past Hizzbollah hizzoner to add the names of the 20 hijackers to the list of the victims along with Bin Laden.
Considering the Democrats have a bigwig who honored her grandfather on Veteran's Day who served during World War 2, no not as a GI but in the Nazi Wehrmacht, perhaps my observation about Mamdani is less a nightmarish wisecrack than God-forbid a prediction of the future! And what a shock, the aforementioned Democrat bigwig turns out to be Kelly Neumann a fundraising boss in MICHIGAN!
How do you say Ach du Lieber in Arabic or Pashtun...or with a Yuper accent?!!! From that madness we flashback to the glory days of Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and this character he and his ilk inflicted on us...
A “Maryland father.” That’s how the propaganda press described Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien from El Salvador that the Trump administration sought to deport. Despite accusations of MS-13 ties, human smuggling, and domestic abuse, Democrats and their allies in the corporate press turned Abrego Garcia into a national martyr. But the innocent “Maryland father” narrative is collapsing once again with new details revealed by the Department of Justice about Abrego Garcia. . . As the propaganda press’ cover-up for criminal Abrego Garcia continues to fail, they keep trying to find new ways to preserve their carefully crafted narrative about him, this time by just not telling their readers about the new evidence, while in the past just parroting the preferred narrative from a court or Abrego Garcia’s lawyers.
Have a good day.

Outstanding:
Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktokBREAKING: The DOJ is moving to REOPEN the human trafficking case against illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia through the appeals court after charges were previously dropped.
Maryland Man Must Go.
Democrats are pretending that they want to distance themselves from their violent foreign terrorist influencer, Hasan Piker.
The debate over Piker blew up over the weekend when Rolling Stone published an extensive profile on him that included an overview of his upbringing in Turkey, his morning routine and a glamorous photoshoot at his Los Angeles home with the headline, "Why Is Everyone Scared of Hasan Piker?"Some conservatives, including co-host of ABC's The View, Alyssa Farrah Griffin, re-upped their criticism of Piker in response to the weekend attention, with Farrah alleging the "Piker phenomena" is a "desperate desire on the Left to find its own Joe Rogan/ Manosphere powerhouse" and Elon Musk tweeting "he means what he says," quoting Piker saying "we're going to destroy the white race," a statement he made mocking right-wing conspiracies.
Alyssa Farrah Griffin is a "conservative"?
Some centrist Democrats called on progressives to distance themselves, such as MS NOW's Joe Scarborough, who referenced some of Piker's most controversial anti-Israel rhetoric while discussing Abdul El-Sayed's win in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary on Monday, accusing progressives more broadly of being "too woke to call out the obvious."
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., when asked by ABC News over the weekend if Piker should have a role in the progressive movement, didn't answer directly, but lamented that Democrats need to do more to reach young voters, who "are engaging in mediums and conversations that we have a responsibility to attend to and be responsive to."
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is among multiple progressives who have appeared with Piker online or campaigned with him, including Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.
El-Sayed's affiliation with Piker in particular has prompted sharp criticism from moderate Democrats, including Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who told El-Sayed via a Fox News interview last week, "I dare you to continue to campaign with people like Hasan Piker," while longtime Democratic strategist James Carville threatened to leave the Democratic Party earlier this month if Piker didn't, and Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., also blasted El-Sayed for campaigning with Piker.
Hasan Piker admits that the Democrats are practicing taqiyya. He says Democrats are doubling down on their extremist policies while merely "moderating our comms," that is, rhetoric.
Max 📟 @MaxNordauAug 11
Abdul El-Sayed surrogate Hasan Piker explains the importance of lying to voters:
"I think our politicians, whether they be AOC or anybody else, they're not running away from progress."
"So their pragmatism isn't to moderate on their policies. Their pragmatism is to moderate on their comms, on their communication."
He admits that El-Sayed's true beliefs are "electoral poison": "You got to moderate your message, even if you don't want to temper your movement, in order to sell it to the public."
Coming soon: "Hasan Piker 1.0 was craaazy, man. But Hasan Piker 2.0 is moderate and sensible and electable."
Hm, I wonder if Hasan Piker is right that the Woke 1 Was Crazy Brigade is moderating their comms while sticking to their extremist positions?
Polymarket @PolymarketJUST IN: AOC is distancing herself from past positions on defunding police, prison abolition, & decriminalizing border crossings ahead of a potential 2028 run. -- Axios
Objective analysis from Andrew Stiles: "Real man" Chinese communist and terror dick-suck Hasan Piker whines like a loser and grovels like a bitch.
Polling suggested Piker was on track to celebrate another victory last week in the Wisconsin gubernatorial primary. The radical leftist he endorsed, Francesca Hong, was expected to win by double digits. She ended up narrowly losing to an establishment-backed opponent, David Crowley.Piker responded by throwing a tantrum. He lashed out at "the fucking national media" and "the median American voter" for sabotaging Hong's campaign. "Fuck 'em and fuck Thanksgiving," he huffed, referring to Hong's view that the holiday should be canceled because it celebrates "colonialism" and the murder of "Indegenous [sic] folx [sic]."
Then, like a total bitch, Piker practically begged the Democratic Party--an institution he has ruthlessly attacked as insufficiently sympathetic to Hamas, Luigi Mangione, Mao Zedong, and Fidel Castro, among others--to stop being so mean to him.
Piker, relentlessly pushed by the leftwing media as the left's answer to the Masculinity Deficit, whined that Democrats need to defend him more when people say bad things on Twitter!
"I know we don't always see eye to eye on a lot of stuff, but you have to literally, at some point, I know you don't want to do this, defend me," Piker groveled pathetically. "Not because you love what I have to say, not because I'm part of this coalition, even though I am, whether you like it or not, but you are going to inevitably have to say, 'This is a ridiculous conversation that we're having, because the real conversation that Republicans don't want to have is the cost of living crisis.'"
I get the feeling that this guy has a folder on his computer called "Taxes 2021," and inside that folder is a subfolder called "Show Ideas," and inside that subfolder is another folder called "Scalding-Hot Poop Videos."
Just a feeling I get. I haven't seen his computer. The Jews haven't leaked it to me.
Yet.
The millionaire influencer went on to say it would be helpful if Democrats could be "a little bit more honest about how I'm not this dangerous, toxic radical force" whose radical views will hurt the party in general election matchups with Republicans. Meanwhile, Piker's establishment critics do not seem particularly eager to concede that point. In Michigan, for example, recent polling shows the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate, Mike Rogers, leading El-Sayed by several percentage points in a race that--on paper--Democrats should be heavily favored to win.
A lot is riding on the outcome. If El-Sayed wins, Democrats will be the ones groveling. They'll agree to Piker's terms and give him a speaking slot at the 2028 convention. If Rogers wins, Democrats will be pretty annoyed and looking for someone to blame. Piker's feelings may never recover.
He's gayer than a spaghetti-strap t-shirt with the words "Free Mustache Rides" on it above a line-art drawing of Freddie Mercury sucking a whippit.
Evidence: Piker, his terror pal El-Sayed, Chris Hayes, and Democrat Senator John Ostorov are all "dandymaxxing," wearing metrosexual or even full-on gay fashion to appeal to male voters.
I mean... Sure, whatever you gotta do, Kings.
Police stopped another attempted mass invasion of Ceuta.
Note that the socialist president doesn't want to stop the invasion, but other European countries are economically isolating Spain over his mass-amnesty policies, so he has to make a token effort.
Moroccan police have blocked a second attempt by migrants to cross the border into Ceuta en masse.Riot police were deployed at the border on Saturday as hundreds prepared to storm the Spanish territory, two weeks after tens of thousands made the crossing.
Migrants gathered in the border town of Castillejos after calls were made on social media encouraging a second attempt.
Moroccan police arrested about 300 people, mostly from sub-Saharan Africa, for attempting to cross into Ceuta. Another 61 people were arrested for "inciting and promoting" on social media, reports said.
This follows the incident on July 30 which saw at least 72,000 people pour across the border in an attempt to illegally enter Europe through one of its only land borders with Africa.At least 88 people died in the attempt, with many drowning or being crushed to death, in what was described as the single largest illegal influx into the EU. Most of those who reached Ceuta were returned to Morocco, but some remain in the exclave.
"Some" remain? That's the spin. It's thousands:

Fantastic: Somali Immigrant Named "Oustanding Refugee Award for Entrepreneurship" by Minnesota Charged With Stealing US Taxpayer Money Through Medicaid Fraud (and Also Running a Sex Trafficking Ring)
—Disinformation Expert Ace
In 2021, Salman Ahmed Elmi was awarded the Outstanding Refugee Award for Entrepreneurship by the Minnesota Department of Human Services. Now, he's facing charges in connection with a Medicaid fraud scheme with alleged ties to a sex trafficking ring.
Elmi, a native of Somalia, was charged last week with three counts of aiding and abetting theft by swindle and five counts of aiding and abetting theft by false representation.Prosecutors allege Elmi and three associates -- Frank Reeves, Viktoriya Komonash and Andrea Sampson -- ran four agencies that they used to bill more than $4.5 million to Medicaid since 2023. Those agencies were called Reva Health, Reva Autism, Helpful Housing and Homefelt Assisted Living.
Elmi and his associates allegedly recruited young women who were homeless or struggling with addiction, housing or finances. They then rented apartments in the women's names using fake pay stubs and enlisted them in a pay-for-sex scheme. Investigators say they've been tracking the alleged sex trafficking ring since 2019. Sampson and Reeves were arrested as part of the sex trafficking ring bust last week.
Well, that is certainly outstanding.
The group then began stealing victims' identities to bill Medicaid in their name, according to court filings.Prosecutors say Elmi billed Medicaid for more than $1 million in services that were not provided or not eligible. He and his co-conspirators are accused of falsifying documents to get Medicaid reimbursements.
Elmi was released from custody on Monday, though a judge ordered him to surrender his passport and remain in Minnesota.
About that last part: Soros-connected "prosecutor" Steve Descano of ultra-blue Fairfax County, VA, helped an Islamist killer flee the country.
In yet another jaw-dropping illustration of soft-on-crime progressive "justice," Fairfax County's Soros-linked prosecutor Steve Descano reportedly pushed a judge to spring an illegal alien Islamic extremist -- already found not guilty by reason of insanity for fatally stabbing his landlord -- so the man could be driven to the Tajikistan embassy in Washington, D.C. for a foreign passport.Not long after, the same killer was handed an unescorted 48-hour "weekend pass" from a Northern Virginia psych ward and promptly used it to board a one-way flight out of the country.
No, we're not making this up.

Abdulrahman El-Sayed Was Set to Appear at Islamic Conference with Pro-Pedophilia Imam; Now the Pedo Cleric Is Booted, But They're Keeping the Islamist Who Called the Holocaust a "Hoax"
—Disinformation Expert Ace
As Hasan Piker said of Michigan voters: "You're all piece of shit Islamophobes" for noticing.
Abdul El-Sayed To Headline Islamic Event Alongside Pakistani Cleric Who Forced His 13-Year-Old Niece Into Marriage, Was Denounced for 'Pedophilic Rhetoric'
Tariq Masood urged his congregants to marry off their own female children and invoked Sharia law on the question of women's education
Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed will spend Labor Day weekend alongside a Jew-hating Pakistani cleric who has promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories and admitted to forcing his 13-year-old niece into marriage.El-Sayed is scheduled to speak at the Islamic Society of North America's (ISNA) 63rd annual convention, held in Detroit from Sept. 4-7. El-Sayed, whose father-in-law is a founding member of the ISNA--which is affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood--will speak Sept. 5 on the oddly titled panel, "Cultivating God Awareness in a Turmoiled America," according to an itinerary.
The convention features a rogues' gallery of notorious Muslim figures who've engaged in Holocaust denial and the persecution of Christians and have also been unindicted co-conspirators in terror plots, including the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. But one speaker stands out for his particularly noxious record: Tariq Masood, an influential Pakistani cleric who is also on the ISNA roster.
Masood, a "mufti" qualified to issue religious laws, is scheduled to speak on a panel about "avoiding mental illness in youth," including how parents "can prevent or minimize the impact of any trauma leading to a mental illness."
The topic is an unusual fit for Masood, given his past advocacy of child marriage.
According to multiple Pakistani media reports, Masood in 2021 admitted in a sermon that he forced his 13-year-old niece into marriage, and advised his followers to do the same with their young female relatives. Masood also said it was a husband's decision whether or not his wife can go to college or must remain a housewife, citing Sharia, or Islamic religious law. In 2024, Canadian activists urged the government to block Masood's visa to the country over his "pedophilic rhetoric."
Masood has also promoted inflammatory views about Jews.
In a 2024 sermon titled "The Final Humiliation of the Jews," Masood said, according to translations of the event, that Jews' "cunning minds" had worked to bring the world under their control.
The terrorists realized that Michigan voters might not appreciate Islam's views on forced child marriage, so they disinvited this guy.
But they're keeping the Holocaust denier. On that hill they will of course die force their children to stand on so that they may be killed as propaganda puppets.
Islamic Group Pulls Pakistani Cleric Known for 'Pedophilic Rhetoric' From Convention Featuring Abdul El-Sayed--But Keeps Imam Who Called Holocaust 'Hoax'
The Islamic Society of North America convention also features an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing
A Pakistani cleric who admitted to forcing his 13-year-old niece into marriage will no longer appear at the Islamic Society of North America's annual convention, where Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is scheduled to speak over Labor Day weekend. But El-Sayed will still share the stage with plenty of controversial speakers, including Islamic scholars who have called the Holocaust a "hoax," accused Israel of bankrolling ISIS, and defended the practice of sex slavery and marital rape.Tariq Masood was slated to speak on a panel about youth mental health but "is no longer speaking at the convention," ISNA said Monday following a Washington Free Beacon report on the influential cleric, who has defended child marriage and admitted that he forced his young niece to get married, remarks that prompted Canadian activists to urge their government to block Masood's visa to the country in 2024 over his "pedophilic rhetoric." The report stoked outcry against El-Sayed, who has sought to cast Republicans as "pedophile protectors" for allegedly blocking the release of Jeffrey Epstein files.
...
While Masood seems to have crossed a rhetorical red line for ISNA and El-Sayed, the convention will still feature a number of speakers with records of extremism. That could further fuel concerns about El-Sayed's connections to Islamic extremists. El-Sayed, who is running against Republican Mike Rogers, has already faced scrutiny over his father-in-law Tayeb Jukaku's position on the founding committee of ISNA, which the federal government identified as a public-facing group for the Muslim Brotherhood and linked to the financing of Hamas, the Free Beacon reported.
Texas-based imam Yasir Qadhi, who will appear on several panels over the weekend, has called the Holocaust a "hoax" and said Adolf Hitler "never intended to mass-destroy the Jews." He currently works as a booker on the Tucker Carlson podcast.
I added that last sentence. It's true in spirit.
AbdulNasir Jangda, another Texas-based cleric who will speak on a panel with Qadhi, has defended the practice of sex slavery and said that husbands have a right under Islamic law to rape their wives, according to reports.
If you don't listen with an open mind to Islamic defenses of sexual slavery, you're an Islamophobe and Zionist, says Tucker Carlson, who just wants you to respect free speech (as long as that speech is from Muslim terrorists and Nazis).
...
Qazwini, the head of the Islamic Institute of America in Dearborn Heights, recently prayed in a sermon to "grant victory to our brothers in Iran" and "inflict defeat upon Your Zionist enemies."
...
Other convention speakers include Siraj Wahhaj, a New York-based imam who was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
El-Sayed's father-in-law is a founder of an Islamic terror group.
Abdul El-Sayed's father-in-law, a top donor to a super PAC supporting the left-wing Michigan Senate hopeful, is among the top leaders of an Islamic organization identified by the federal government as a public facing group for the Muslim Brotherhood, a Washington Free Beacon review found. As part of his role with the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), which the federal government linked to the financing of Hamas, Tayeb Jukaku contributes at least $5,000 to the organization annually.Jukaku has served on the 20-member founding committee of ISNA since at least 2007, according to the organization's magazine, Islamic Horizons, and has been a member of the group for a "long time, cannot recall [when I joined]," according to Jukaku's online bio. Federal prosecutors identified the organization as an unindicted co-conspirator in the landmark 2007 terrorist financing case USA v. Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, which culminated in the conviction of the foundation's founders for funneling $12 million to Hamas. They also identified the ISNA as one of eight entities "who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood."
Not just his father-in-law -- his mother is a terrorist, too.
From midwesterner.news:
Jacqueline El-Sayed married El-Sayed's father, Mohamed El-Sayed, not long after he immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1980s with Fatten Fathy Elkomy, the U.S. Senate candidate's birth mother."They ended up getting divorced," El-Sayed said of his birth parents during a 2017 speech before the Islamic Foundation. "And my mother, she remarried a gentleman who was working as a translator in the Middle East and moved back to the Middle East."
From 1999 through at least 2004, Elkomy worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency, also known as the Islamic African Relief Agency, which operated over 40 offices throughout the world ostensibly focused on health care, orphans, and disadvantaged people in areas of conflict.
In October 2004, the U.S. Department of Treasury designated the worldwide network, along with five senior officials, as an organization supporting terrorism, including support for Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks carried out by al-Qaeda that killed nearly 3,000 Americans.
It's almost as if all of these people have deep ties to the worldwide Islamic terror network and are infiltrated into the US to subvert it from the inside.
El-Sayed is now trailing Republican Mike Rogers -- but only by a smidge.
CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten warned Democrats their Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is "historically unpopular" and could be throwing a "lifeline" to Republicans.Enten broke down numbers out of Michigan's Senate race on Friday and highlighted some "troubling" figures for Republicans hoping to defeat Republican Mike Rogers. El-Sayed, a progressive Democrat, recently won his primary against Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI).
Citing a Fox News survey, Enten noted Rogers is leading El-Sayed by four points overall and five points among independents (the poll has a margin of error of three points).
This, he argued, is "extremely unusual" and highlights how unpopular El-Sayed is as a candidate:
This is extremely unusual because across the political map, as I was looking at these different Fox News polls, I couldn't find another example where the Republican was actually leading among independents.And it turns out that candidate quality may in fact, matter, at least in terms of how voters see it, because in this same poll, the Democratic candidate for governor was ahead. So this is unique to the Senate race, and it is quite a troubling result for Democrats and quite a heartening one for Republicans.
El-Sayed, he added, is a "weak candidate," especially when you stack his net favorability against other Democrats in battleground states races.

Leftwing Shill Who Demanded the Deplatforming and De-Employment of Trump Staffers Fired by Forbes for Secretly Taking $6 Million from a Shady Sponsor
—Disinformation Expert Ace
They're all liars, swindlers, and thieves.
The New York Times reported on Wednesday that Forbes chief content officer Randall Lane was fired after "the company discovered that he had received a payment of about $6 million from the founder of a firm that does business with the magazine."The payment was made after RJ Shook, the founder of the firm that worked with Forbes to publish wealth adviser rankings, "sold a majority stake in Shook Research to PPC Enterprises, a private equity firm, last August." Lane made himself a spectacle of anti-Trump furor in 2021 when he threatened companies that dared to hire people who formerly worked with President Donald Trump, such as former White House press secretaries Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee-Sanders, and Kayleigh McEnany.
Reading his virtue-signaling now about "truth reckoning" in light of his own duplicitous violation of journalistic ethics is poetic justice. At the time, Lane promised his outlet will "scrutinize, double-check, investigate with the same skepticism we'd approach a Trump tweet" any company that hires one of the forbidden Trumpsters in his arbitrary blacklist: "Let it be known to the business world: Hire any of Trump's fellow fabulists above, and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie."
Lane doubled down on his threats: "Want to ensure the world's biggest business media brand approaches you as a potential funnel of disinformation? Then hire away," Lane quipped.
...
It would take but a few years before Lane nuked his own "credibility" and "reputation" as a judge of character into orbit. The Times outlined the clear Forbes company policies that emphasize the gravity of Lane's undisclosed conflict of interest:
Forbes has policies requiring its employees to seek permission before conducting outside business activities and prohibiting them from gaining personally -- directly or indirectly -- from the company's business dealings, according to a copy of the employee handbook obtained by The New York Times. Traditional newsrooms usually forbid journalists to accept payments from sources or business partners to avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of a conflict.Oof! Not even a defibrillator could resuscitate Lane's image as a journalist at this point.
Literally every picture of him shows him in this gay hat:
What a card. He's got a masculine, John Waters kind of energy.
Unrelated: Commenters are discussing this bust of a frat-connected cocaine ring at Penn State.
The 24-year-old alleged ringleader of a Penn State cocaine ring has turned himself in to police, Pennsylvania authorities revealed Tuesday.Agostino Abbatiello surrendered himself to face charges of possession with intent to deliver (cocaine) and conspiracy after being busted for allegedly running a complex cocaine trafficking ring out of two separate fraternities.
The Long Island native -- who was at the "very top of the chain" in the crime ring, prosecutors claim -- had failed to show up for a Monday arraignment and is now being held without bail.
Alleged co-conspirator Thomas Robinson and two others have been charged with felony corrupt organizations, conspiracy, dealing in proceeds of unlawful activity, and related offenses, the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office said.More than a dozen Penn State frat brothers were busted for running the ring that forced young pledges to cut and bag the drugs then sold to students, according to prosecutors.
The fraternities, Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon, allegedly coordinated with suppliers in New York and Philadelphia, trafficking in the cocaine and distributing it mainly to Penn State students.
Prepare for a Non-Shock: Staffer for Rejected Liberal RINO John Cornyn Joins James Talarico Campaign
—Disinformation Expert Ace
James Talarico Poaches Cornyn Staffer
Poaches? I suspect this traitor went running to his real political allies.
Cross-party hires are rare, but the move could show the Senate Democratic campaign is hoping to reach out to Republicans in reliably red Texas.
Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico's campaign hired a staffer from Republican Sen. John Cornyn, NOTUS has learned.
Jacob Smith, who worked for Cornyn for five years as a deputy legislative director and policy adviser, is taking on the role of deputy policy director for Talarico's campaign.
"I've worked for Republicans like Senator Cornyn my entire career, but this year I'm proud to be joining James Talarico's campaign," Smith confirmed in a statement through the Talarico campaign. "Instead of playing partisan politics, Talarico speaks to the needs of everyday people who day in and day out work too hard for too little. In the Senate, James will fight to lower costs for all 31 million Texans, whether they're Republicans, Democrats, or independents, so that Texans of all ages have a fighting chance at the American Dream of starting a family, owning a home, and leaving a little behind for their children."
Smith also took aim at the GOP nominee, adding, "Ken Paxton is the most corrupt, self-dealing politician in Texas who would sell their futures to the highest contributor just to hold onto power. I'm encouraging all my fellow Republicans who know Ken Paxton is unfit to serve in the Senate to finally hold him accountable at the ballot box."
Smith previously worked on the House Science Committee for Rep. Frank Lucas (R-Oklahoma) and was a legislative aide for Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi).
When contacted for comment, a Cornyn spokesperson directed NOTUS to remarks the senator has made repeatedly in recent months where he's said he will "support the Republican ticket" in the fall.
Sure, sure.
Thanks to Buck Throckmorton.

Some of You Will Not Believe Me, but the WNBA Is Woke Trash Filled With Hyperthyroidal Clown Hookers
—Disinformation Expert Ace
If only the world were run by seethingly-angry toxic lesbians.
It would look just like the WNBA and be just as profitable.
WNBA backtracks after Sophie Cunningham fans ordered to remove 'XX-XY' shirts at game: 'fell short'Atlanta Dream's State Farm Arena allegedly put fan in pro-transgender shirt on Jumbotron before security told mother and daughter they'd be removed if they didn't cover XX-XY shirts, a brand Sophie Cunningham had posed with.
By the way, can I mention a pet peeve? A long, long time ago it was unusual to see a sports team with a singular nickname. Like, "the Avalanche." Rather than a plural, like "the Jets."
You Old-Heads might, like me, remember the old "NASL" soccer league. That league featured a lot of teams with a singular nickname.
But this stopped being a novelty many, many years ago, as more and more teams adopted singular nicknames. In fact, it's now a cliche.
So of course the WNBA has to be the most cliched franchise on earth and feature mostly singular nicknames. Atlanta Dream. Connecticut Sun. Chicago Sky. Indiana Fever. New York Liberty. Phoenix Mercury. Portland Fire. Seattle Storm.
I had to look these up, you know. I can't name them off the top of my head like some commenters I could name but won't. (Garrett.)
The "singular team name" thing is only attention grabbing when there's one singular team name among many plural names.
It's so fucking gay and stupid.
Fights over silent protests against males in women's sports have jumped from the high school soccer field to the professional basketball arena, as the WNBA wrings its hands over the meaning of "women" with just six weeks until the playoffs and eight months before a draft that could include NBA veterans who claim eligibility under league rules.Fans of gender-critical Indiana Fever sharpshooter Sophie Cunningham allege that security ordered them to cover up their XX-XY Athletics shirts, which promote female-only sports, at Sunday's Atlanta Dream home game against the visiting Fever at State Farm Arena, where Cunningham celebrated her 30th birthday with an overtime win.
This was despite the fact that Cunningham appeared with XX-XY founder Jennifer Sey, the 1986 U.S. Women's All-Around National Champion gymnast, and Riley Gaines, the former collegiate swimmer, at a Minnesota Lynx game soon after Cunningham endorsed female-only sports in an ESPN profile.
Minnesota Lynx, another one. But maybe "lynx" is also a plural. But if so, it's plural selected to sound singular.
Both the WNBA and Dream confirmed the incident late Monday, saying fans were wrongly asked by league security -- not the team's personnel -- to cover their shirts, but did not mention the content of the clothing."This should not have happened," a league spokesperson told Front Office Sports.
"The Atlanta Dream believes in creating a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. Unfortunately, at last night's game, WNBA security took actions that fell short of that standard," the team said.

It represents an escalation in response since Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton allegedly cursed out teenage Cunningham fans in XX-XY Athletics gear, also holding signs thanking her for "speaking up for girls," when the Fever visited the Storm last month. Cunningham shamed Keaton on social media.
Seattle journalist Brandi Kruse, who helped organize a pro-Cunningham rally outside the game, reported the girls weren't told to cover the shirts or hide the signs. She said Climate Pledge Arena security refused to remove Keaton for harassing fans, though the WNBA suspended her for five home games for unspecified behavior.
"They gave us t-shirts during overtime and told us we had to leave or cover our [XX-XY] shirts up," an unidentified woman who attended Sunday's Fever-Dream game with her teenage daughter told conservative activist Adam Francisco after the game.
The daughter said they paid $1,000 each for their seats on floor 3, row C, three rows from the court, to support Cunningham and girls' sports.
"We did nothing. We were just sitting there," the mother said, adding that she had wanted to make signs supporting Cunningham but refrained so as not to ruffle feathers at the game. Their shirts have variations of the XX-XY logo on the front, and on the daughter's Riley Gaines collaboration shirt, "for the girls" on the back.
$1000 a seat? Are you all insane? To watch what are essentially boys high school players, only butcher?

The Morning Rant: What Don't You Understand About Socialists?
—CBD
The idea that Socialism is just another political philosophy is embedded in a certain segment of our country. You know...the morons. "Sure! Let's try it out! Maybe it will work!" These are the ignorant among us who never learned a damned thing about the evils of socialism, because their teachers were crypto-socialists...or as is increasingly common...out-and-proud!
That speaks to two issues. The first is the complete takeover of the educational apparatus by the progressive movement. And the second is the pathetic state of the intellects who are drawn to teaching. Anyone know a serious and intelligent teacher? Sure...they exist. But there aren't many of them.
The reality is that socialism is not a political philosophy that seeks to manage the functions of government. It is a political philosophy that seeks to seize the reins of power and manipulate society to its own ends. The smooth functioning of government operations is nowhere to be found. Rather, those operations are co-opted into the process of converting everything into a vehicle for furthering the aims of socialism.
That the editorial board of the New York Post doesn't understand this basic premise is terrifying indeed! Notice that "socialism" or "DSA" isn't mentioned once in this editorial.
Mayor Klutz — what’s behind Mamdani’s long string of fumbles, failures and fiascos
The mayor has reportedly turned thin-skinned and shouty behind closed doors, and it’s easy to see why: He’s in over his head, with a staff dominated by fellow tunnel-visioned lefties.Too bad it’s the rest of us who pay the worst price for Mayor Klutz’s misrule.
So the real issue is that Mamdani is an idiot and an incompetent?
No...it isn't. Mamdani doesn't give a rat's ass whether NYC runs efficiently. His only goal is the consolidation of government resources in furtherance of his personal goals: the ascendance of socialism, and the ascendance of Islamism. That the wider culture might see him as a buffoon is meaningless. He is busily taking control of the money, and directing it to his supporters within the city government and outside of government in the thousands of NGOs that orbit NYC's vast amounts of cash. They are the ones who will promote his policies among the various racial and ethnic divisions in NYC.
New York City voted for him. Or more correctly; New York City didn't bother to vote, and got a socialist, terror-supporting Shia 12er as Mayor. And Mamdani's only goal is to continue the policies that will get him reelected, and consolidate Islam and socialism in NYC. That the NY Post doesn't understand this is an embarrassment.
