Michele Tafoya BODIES Peggy Flanagan for Refusing to Accept Accountability for Minnesota Fraud

 Twitchy 

"Michele Tafoya absolutely annihilated Peggy Flanagan last night in the Minnesota senate debate. Peggy Flanagan oversaw billions in fraud alongside Tim Walz, how in the world does she deserve a promotion? Vote Tafoya, Minnesota! " Clay Travis

  'We hate to set ourselves up for disappointment by believing that Michele Tafoya has a solid chance to flip a Senate seat in Minnesota this November, but with less than a month to go before Election Day, every indication is that this race is neck-and-neck, even in such a deep-blue state. 

"Part of the reason is that Tafoya has proven to be a formidable candidate. Just as importantly, however, is the elephant in the room of Minnesota politics: the rampant fraud that took place in the state under Governor Tim Walz and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, much of it committed by people who have no business being in America in the first place. 

"It also helps that Flanagan might be the most cringeworthy Democrat candidate in the current cycle this side of James Talarico (who, until very recently, could only be seen on the side of a milk carton). Flanagan has made everyone wince over the last few weeks for any number of reasons, from touting her "Native American name" to embracing "future President Hillary Clinton" to even her unfortunate fashion sense. 

"This week, Flanagan couldn't avoid direct questions as she sat down with Tafoya for a debate." . . . 

James Talarico -- 'Gone Boy'

 John M. Williams, Sr., M.D.

"Was it nine days or 12 that James Talarico was MIA with the “flu” -- or was it something else? There was speculation about a hospitalization in a mental health facility in Ohio, then a denial by the facility, which was quickly followed with proxy alibis from the legacy press, replete with talk of satellite imagery and surveillance photos. But what about a doctor’s note -- like the one we all have to bring to our employer when we get sick? Talarico didn’t have one -- instead he claimed he went to urgent care or to his primary care doctor, but he couldn’t seem to get that story straight either.

"Most of us remember the early days of COVID-19. It was just six years ago this month that President Donald Trump came down with a nasty case of it. There wasn’t much in the way of treatment at the time, but after an infusion of monoclonal antibodies and some IV fluids, he soldiered on, waving from his limo as he was whisked away from Walter Reed Medical Center. The public was kept informed about his progress with live updates from the man himself, and he never abandoned his responsibilities. This was the complete opposite of the Lloyd Austin fiasco, where the sitting Secretary of Defense “forgot” to call in sick to President Biden for several days, despite being hospitalized in an ICU for a life-threatening infection. All was forgiven when he came back, and the Biden administration acted as if nothing happened. Is this the Democrat “cone of silence” model that Talarico was following, expecting the same result?

"With less than three weeks to election day, this is crunch time as Talarico and Ken Paxton are neck and neck in the polls. Every second counts, and for a candidate to go incommunicado is almost unheard of -- unless there is something so bad and potentially destructive to their campaign that they can’t go public with it. If it truly was the “flu,” why didn’t Talarico do some public Zoom calls and assume temporary martyr status? Picture this -- a guy that’s so sick his entire appointment book gets canceled, yet here he is dragging himself to his laptop, struggling to put on some headphones -- while garnering sympathy (and votes) as we marvel at his gaunt appearance and pasty skin. His raspy voice assures us that he will continue campaigning, even if he has to be wheeled in to vote with an IV tube in each arm--this is the stuff that Hollywood is made of. Instead, we are met with a script more reminiscent of “Gone Girl,” where the protagonist goes missing with an elaborate plan to elicit sympathy from the press as the other characters try to seize the media narrative in their own ways." . . . More.

Where is the video, James?   "James Talarico has more videos than anyone.  You can spend an entire afternoon watching everything that this man has recorded over the years.  He has a video explaining how the angel told Mary about the baby.    

"What we don't have is a video of Talarico standing up to the Biden administration and rejecting their border policy. We have a campaign video saying that, but no video to support what he is claiming.". . .   Glad to see that the Border Patrol Union is not buying it:

" . . .We CANNOT afford another disaster on our borders!"

All the struggles ICE has had to endure for these months will count for nothing when this man governs anywhere near America's borders.

What Socialism Has Wrought in Cuba Will Be a Nightmare to Unwind

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  

"It’s unlikely we will see developments toward a replacement of the Cuban regime before the midterms. But when those are over, don’t sleep on Cuba. It will come to a head, and soon."

"For reasons obvious to most readers of this column, I’m currently doing lots of podcast and radio interviews about Cuba. It’s been a timely subject for most of this year, though right at the moment there isn’t a lot happening which would augur a major transformation of that “imprisoned island,” as President Kennedy called it.

"It’s timely, because everybody understands that the status quo in Cuba can’t endure for much longer. The current regime in Cuba is running out of time.

"No country which can only supply a few hours a day of electricity to its people can survive for long. No country where the average worker pulls down $16 per month can survive for long. No country where sewerage systems and trash pickup have collapsed can survive for long. (RELATED: Cuba Is Next)

"Cuba is in a state of slow-motion collapse. Its population has decreased from 11 million to less than 9 1/2 million in the space of five years as the young, mostly 20-somethings and 30-somethings, are departing for the chance of a better life elsewhere. With those people, who would be most likely to actively topple the current regime, leaving the country, it’s actually somewhat stabilizing for the government. Demographically, Cuba is now one of the oldest, if not the oldest, countries in the Western Hemisphere. Septuagenarians are unlikely to take up pitchforks and torches against soldiers with rifles, though they might take to banging pots and pans in frustration against bare sustenance and candle-lit houses.

"Search the blogosphere for stories of daily life in Cuba, and you’ll find discussions of which books must be kept and which can be burned for kindling on charcoal stoves. You’ll find stories of dauntless entrepreneurs scratching out an existence as private trash haulers now that the government has largely given up on providing basic municipal services. Interestingly enough, American manufacturers of solar panels are beginning to find Cuba a growing market as those Cubans who do have the means are buying American-made systems to light and cool their houses; the state exclusively buys Chinese solar equipment as it seeks to supplement its moribund electric grid.

Even Democrats I could respect are not heard standing against the deep silliness now embedded in the people of this party and those who vote for them.

Trump urges Katie Zacharia to reconsider press secretary job after less than a week at the White House

 NY Post  

“I just think the press has been very tough on Katie, and I said, ‘There’s no reason for you to have to do this. You’ve got a beautiful family, a fantastic husband and kids.'”

Ex-Fox News host says network slapping Katie Zacharia with 'pro hit job'

WASHINGTON — White House press secretary Katie Zacharia has left her post following a devastating series of media appearances and questions about her legal background.

"Word of Zacharia’s departure emerged shortly after Trump publicly urged her to reconsider her position as he left the White House for a pre-midterm rally in Georgia.

"“Katie’s been treated very badly by the media. Very, very badly, very unfairly, I think. And I just spoke to her about it. I said, ‘Katie, is this for you?’ Because, you know, she’s been treated very rough. And she’s a nice person,” said the president of the press secretary who started work this past Monday.

"“I’ve watched her for years on television, but I said, ‘Is this for you, Katie? Because honestly, you don’t need this.'”

"The California native is transitioning to a new role that will be announced later and is having dinner Friday with Vice President JD Vance, a senior administration official told The Post after Trump’s comments.

"The president claimed that Fox News primetime host Sean Hannity “was a little bit tough” on Zacharia in an interview Thursday night and that the hosts of “Fox & Friends” were similarly “a little tough” Friday morning — following a nervous 14-minute initial press briefing on Tuesday."...  More.

Court Docs Indicate El-Sayed Relative Was On Terrorist Watch List; For AOC, No Problem

El-Sayed has his own string of controversies to grapple with.

 The Federalist   

"Eman Abdelhadi, El-Sayed’s half-sister, was taken into custody for allegedly spitting on a police officer while protesting ICE; she has pled not guilty. El-Sayed’s birth mother reportedly worked for a designated terror organization that supported Osama bin Laden."

"Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s sister-in-law appeared in the Terrorist Screening Database, court documents filed in 2016 indicate. Mariam Jukaku, the sister of El-Sayed’s wife, Sarah Jukaku, was a participant in two suits the Council on American-Islamic Relations brought against U.S. government officials on behalf of individuals disputing their alleged placement on the watch list, according to court filings.

"One suit sought an injunction removing the plaintiffs from the database and a declaratory judgment that their Fifth Amendment rights had been violated. The other was a class action lawsuit the plaintiffs filed to obtain compensatory damages and recover legal fees from the government. Jukaku appeared in a Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) press conference announcing the suits. Texas and Florida recently designated CAIR a terrorist organization.

"Before joining the suits, Jukaku filed a complaint with the Department of Homeland Security after she reportedly noticed in 2012 that “her boarding pass was stamped with the ‘SSSS’ designation, indicating that she had been designated as a ‘known or suspected terrorist.'” Jukaku, who is Muslim, said the designation triggered “extensive searches, pat downs and chemical testing” and speculated that she was added to the watch list because of racism or religious discrimination, according to the suit. She also said she believed she had been removed from the list following her DHS complaint, though the government reportedly never confirmed either the removal or her presence on the list.

"When contacted for comment on the matter, DHS referred The Federalist to the FBI. In response to a comment request from The Federalist, the FBI stated that “it is the U.S. government’s policy to neither confirm nor deny a person’s inclusion in the Terrorist Screening Dataset, commonly known as the terrorist watchlist.”

"The Terrorism Screening Database (TSDB), which lists “more than a million names of individuals suspected of terrorism-related activities” and “people suspected of ties to terrorism,” is utilized by Customs and Border Protection, the Transportation Security Administration, and local law enforcement. A small number of individuals on the list are barred from flying in the U.S., while others may be subjected to heightened screening procedures and location tracking." . . .  More.

James Talarico’s 12-Day Campaign Absence Deserves Scrutiny in Texas

"The Texas Democrat says he was sidelined by the flu, but this does not explain why the candidate had not been seen since Sep. 26."

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  

"If he continues the farce, his purported lead in the polls is likely to evaporate. Texas voters have patiently watched Talarico change virtually all of his positions on the issues. This final lie could well be fatal."

Texas Tribune

"Most political campaigns produce October surprises but James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for the open U.S. Senate seat in Texas, deserves the prize for the weirdest stunt in the current midterm cycle. He vanished from the campaign trail after a September 26 event and no voter from the Lone Star State saw him in-person again until October 9, when he suddenly showed up for 15 minutes at the Austin City Limits concert. The only contact any Texan had with Talarico during the preceding 12 days was a September 30 Zoom meeting with the U.S. Hispanic Business Council in the Rio Grande Valley. He was scheduled to speak in-person, but he begged off due to illness.

"According to an NBC report, Talarico had been diagnosed with the flu. At age 37, this should have laid him up for 3 or 4 days maximum, but he continued to remain in seclusion far longer. He canceled an October 5 event with the Central Texas African American Civic Engagement Symposium. Unless he was at death’s door, this was stupid. Fox News reports, “Democratic strategists are worried that Senate hopeful James Talarico’s chances of flipping Texas blue are being jeopardized by what they see as a major vulnerability: a lack of enthusiasm on the part of Texas Black voters.” This is exacerbated by the refusal of Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) to campaign for him. The Austin Independent quotes her explanation for not doing so.

The best thing that I can do for James Talarico isn’t me standing on a stage with him. It is the fact that I endorsed five candidates in the runoff who all happen to be Black men in the state of Texas and every single one of them won and they’re going on to November, meaning that they will pull out more Black people to vote. People keep trying to say, ‘Well, Jasmine has to go and hold his hand.’ Nah, I don’t … And, honestly some people are just not gonna be sold on certain people that are running in the state of Texas. So the best thing I can do is take down ballot candidates.

CNN anchor looks tearful over Omar raid... but new info reveals how SERIOUS this really is

Christian moms: Why are you posting pics of your daughters in slutty homecoming dresses?

"Apparently, homecoming dresses have become a competition to see how little fabric you can get away with wearing to a high school dance.

"And some of these dresses are pretty ridiculous.

"We’re talking about teenage girls wearing skin-tight, barely-there dresses that look more appropriate for a wild nightclub than a school gymnasium. And what’s even stranger is that some of their mothers are proudly posting these pictures online for the whole world to see.

"Now, apparently, the explanation for these increasingly tiny dresses is that homecoming is supposed to be less formal than prom.

"Historian and classicist Victor Davis Hanson is among America’s treasures. In a recent article, he suggests that after the 10-07-23 Hamas slaughter of 1200 innocents and the taking of 251 hostages in Israel, the destruction of Gaza could have been avoided if Hamas had released the hostages and turned over those who planned and carried out the massacre.

"He notes that more than 2000 “civilians”, if there is any such thing in Gaza, accompanied Hamas terrorists, killing, torturing, raping and looting, and innumerable “civilians” beat and spat on dead and wounded Jews and hostages.

Second, Hamas didn’t just refuse to stand down and hand over the hostages and culpable terrorists to the Israelis. Far from seeking peace, Hamas and Hezbollah spent the 20 days between the slaughter of October 7 and the Israeli ground forces’ entry into Gaza launching thousands of missiles, rockets, and drones at civilians in Israel (barrages that would exceed, within a year, 25,000 launches).

Third, the death toll in Gaza would have been far lower had the killers of October 7 helped their own civilians keep clear of combat zones. Far fewer Gazans would have died had Hamas not deliberately situated its tunnel exits and entrances beneath private homes, hospitals, mosques, and schools." . . .

Ø wrested infants from their mothers’ arms and put them in ovens to bake to death,

Ø raped women so savagely that they shattered their pelvic bones,

Ø lit fires so deadly that they incinerated entire families in their homes,

Ø captured 240 hostages and incarcerated them in their underground torture-the-Jews tunnels for over two years,
Ø and on and on and on...
