Update: Has CNN turned on Brandon?

That's a Republican analyst but it's strange that Anderson Cooper is even letting him speak those blasphemies on CNN's precious progressive airwaves.

The GOP may withdraw from the #Rigged system of presidential debates. Finally.

The Republican National Committee is preparing to change its rules to require presidential candidates seeking the party's nomination to sign a pledge to not participate in any debates sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates.

Republican committee officials alerted the debate commission to their plans in a letter sent on Thursday, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times. If the change goes forward, it would be one of the most substantial shifts in how presidential and vice-presidential debates have been conducted since the commission began organizing debates more than 30 years ago.

Declasified watchdog report: Brandon was repeatedly warned that the Afghan Air Force would rapidly collapse once the US stopped propping it up.

The report highlights the fact that the Biden administration was warned months ahead of time of the collapse of the Afghan Air Force. Biden was sharply criticized for his administration’s withdrawal process from the country, though the president has maintained that chaos was inevitable. His administration has also claimed that while they were prepared for the chaos, Afghanistan fell more quickly than anticipated following a rapid Taliban takeover.

Aurora mayor and Desert Storm veteran Richard Irvin announces bid to challenge Pritzker for Governor of Illinois.

Eh, I don't know if there's any hope of ever winning anything in these blue states, but who knows, maybe citizens will one day decide they don't like living in a deliberately-engineered Third-World Shithole.

Irvin's a black Republic which would give his bid, if he wins the primary, a bit of #WalkAway juice.

Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin jumped into the GOP Illinois primary for governor on Monday, becoming the fifth candidate to compete for the nomination to run against Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker.

...

Key to Irvin's strategy for prevailing in the June 28 GOP primary is for the Army veteran and former prosecutor to collect Republican votes in heavily populated northern Illinois: Chicago, suburban Cook County, and the collar counties of Kane, Lake, DuPage, McHenry and Will.

...

Though downstate Illinois is heavily Republican, Irvin's campaign expects some 60% of the GOP primary vote to come from the Chicago area. The suburbs will be a central primary battleground.

Irvin intends to make crime a central issue. He said on his website: "Crime has exploded under J.B. Pritzker's watch. ... People do not feel safe in Illinois. So what has J.B. Pritzker done?"

His campaign announcement video is here. It's pretty Stronk. Update: Sponge points out he says "All Lives Matter," which is Stronkness right there.

What do you have to do? I don't know if you have to do much, apparently he's counting on winning the support of a billionaire who funds Republican in Illinois, and he thinks he's gotten his support.

Speaking of deliberately-engineered Third-World Shitholes:

ICYMI, just an absolute scandal in California as Newsom continues presiding over the state's rush to become a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Tucker Carlson pointed out that the railway sidings have been permitted to become "homeless encampments," which is a euphemism for "camps for mentally-ill men to publicly smoke meth and shoot heroin." I'm sure that has nothing to do with the trains being robbed right next to their camps.

Even Gavin Newsom admits, Gee Whiz, my state looks like the third world, how did that happen?

No but really, he admits this looks like the third world.

Jen Psaki has some advice for those feeling "frustrated" by Brandon:

Democrats and the Media Faction (but I repeat myself) are all repeating the same Psy-Ops script. As usual.

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

According to the CNN/NBC axis, you as an American have 2 choices and 2 choices only:

(1) Do everything possible to ensure that the Democratic Party wins the 2022 midterm election, or (2) Watch as democracy dies and a fascist takeover rules America. Govern yourselves accordingly.
