Spencer Pratt Loses - Following Stunning Surge in Mail-in Ballots

Gavin's Law: No matter how effective the conservative arguments, California will choose the moronic candidate.

Spencer Pratt Loses - Following Stunning Surge in Mail-in Ballots Nithya Raman Jumps into 2nd Place in LA Mayor Race   "LA Mayoral Candidate Spencer Pratt has dropped to third place and will not make the runoff.  Leftist city council member Nithya Raman, who previously conceded defeat, has now leaped into second place after winning approximately 40% of all mail-in ballots received in the past few days.  A stunning, remarkable, incredible and some say unbelievable outcome.

"There are still several days of ballot counting ahead.  After all, the creation of ballots takes time and resources, and as noted by several people in/around the LA area, locally sourced, artisanal ballots can take much longer to be grown and curated.

"With an estimated 83% of the post-election ballots now received, Nithya Raman’s concession is null and void.  Her campaign must wipe away the tears and restart efforts toward the general election. Remarkable." . . .

PRATT OF THE JUNGLE, WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE- S-PRATT!

In classic “George of the Jungle” style, Spencer Pratt came swinging into the California jungle primary like a conquering hero — and he was doing well on Election Night. Then the endless mail-in ballots began flying… and BOOM — right into a massive stack of ballots. Down he went from strong second place contender all the way to third, thus ensuring he will be out of the race." . . . "Exactly. Pratt built a solid lead with Election Day votes from fed-up Angelenos. Then the usual California magic happened: Wave after wave of late mail-in ballots rolled in (mostly from deep-blue areas), and suddenly Nithya Raman was overtaking him while more ballots kept appearing."

Savannah Guthrie shares new message about missing mother Nancy Guthrie

 Brendan Morrow, USA TODAY

"Savannah Guthrie is sharing a new message about her missing mother as the search for Nancy Guthrie stretches into its fifth month.

"The "Today" host, 54, took to Instagram on June 7 to share an emotional post about her mom, who was reported missing on Feb. 1. Authorities have said the 84-year-old was taken from her home in Arizona against her will.

"On her Instagram story, Guthrie posted an image of religious artwork, along with text that read, "Oh my, my soul it cries out, soul, it cries out." The "Today" anchor captioned the photo with the message, "Bring her home," along with a heart emoji.

"Guthrie has been pleading with the public to share any information that may help in the search for Nancy Guthrie. In February, the family offered a reward of $1 million "for any information that leads us to her recovery." At the time, the journalist acknowledged her mom "may already be gone," but added that "we need to know where she is."

"After initially stepping away from the "Today" show amid her mom's disappearance, Guthrie returned to the NBC morning program in early April. In May, she paid tribute to her mom in an emotional Mother's Day post on Instagram, in which she shared sweet home video footage of Nancy Guthrie." . . .

Grim details emerge from new Nancy Guthrie scene analysis as 'new ransom note' uncovered   . . . "Buehler claimed he doesn’t believe the 84-year-old is still alive, citing several factors. He explained: ‘The reason I’m fearful she didn’t survive the abduction is kind of twofold. No. 1, no instantaneous demand for a reward with indication that she’s fine and that they’ll release her. That’s a pretty big stretch there to think that she survived it. But the amount of blood that was present there in the front of the house suggests to me a wound that was bleeding a lot, probably not arterial, but bleeding a lot.’". . . 

TDS Watch: The 'Convicted Felon' Argument

  Larry Rlder    

      "District Attorney Alvin Bragg ran for office in an overwhelmingly Democratic county by touting his Trump-hunting prowess

"Trump is a convicted felon!"

        Who hasn't heard this attack line made constantly by critics of President Donald Trump? For them, Trump's conviction settles the debate about his character and fitness for office.

        But consider what one prominent legal analyst -- not from Fox News, Newsmax or a conservative publication -- wrote about the case.

        The charge against Trump brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg boils down to this. Trump recorded payments connected to the Stormy Daniels matter as legal expenses. Bragg transformed that into 34 felony counts and secured a conviction in a jurisdiction where Trump remains unpopular.

        Elie Honig, CNN's senior legal analyst, outlined his objections in New York Magazine. He was brutal. Honig wrote:" . . .

. . . "        "'No man is above the law.' It's become cliche, but it's an important point, and it's worth pausing to reflect on the importance of this core principle. But it's also a meaningless sentiment if we unquestioningly tolerate (or worse, celebrate) deviations from ordinary process and principle to get there. ... Here, prosecutors got their man, for now at least -- but they also contorted the law in an unprecedented manner in their quest to snare their prey."

        "To sum up, CNN's senior legal analyst describes the prosecution as a "Frankenstein Case," says prosecutors "contorted the law in an unprecedented manner" and warns about "deviations from ordinary process and principle." It appears shouting "convicted felon!" isn't quite the conversation-ending argument Trump's critics think." . . .

Afflicted With TDS, Four Senators Kill Election Integrity

  The American Spectator 

In reality, not one of this querulous quartet of Senators voted against the SAVE America Act based on genuine principles or the will of the people.

"Last Thursday, even as California’s chaotic primaries demonstrated the need for a nationwide election integrity law, Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) voted to kill the SAVE America Act. This would be understandable if the bill were unpopular with the electorate. But its requirement that voters in every state must provide proof of citizenship before registering to vote and produce a photo ID when casting a ballot are wildly popular among Republicans and Democrats. Yet, because its passage is one of President Trump’s top priorities, TDS forced them to ignore his agenda and that of the voters.

"The only member of this cadre of recalcitrant Republicans with a rational excuse, other than TDS, to vote against the SAVE America Act is Maine Sen. Susan Collins. She is involved in a tough reelection campaign and had she voted for the bill her depraved Democrat opponent, “oysterman” Graham Platner, would no doubt use that vote to bolster the ridiculous claim that she is a rubber stamp for Trump. According to a bulletin published by the Maine Democratic Party, “FiveThirtyEight found that she voted with Trump 67 percent of the time during his first term.” North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis has no rational excuse for his vote against the SAVE America Act. In a statement issued after the first of his two votes against the bill he said,

All of my Democratic colleagues currently serving supported nuking the filibuster to try to pass their own partisan election reform bill. Democrats were dead wrong to try to change the filibuster when they controlled the Senate, and Republicans would be dead wrong to try to change the filibuster now that we control the Senate. The only real path to address the American people’s declining confidence in our elections is for both parties to find common ground on legislation that supports universal adoption of voter ID, proof of citizenship, and other vital election integrity measures." . . .

. . . "McConnell knows perfectly well they’re going to do that anyway if they can. His real objection is that he hates Trump’s guts, although he voted to acquit Trump in both impeachments. And that brings us the Senator of “Seward’s Folly,” Lisa Murkowski. Like Susan Collins, she voted to convict Trump in the farcical J6 impeachment trial." . . . 

California's tax policies are so bad billionaires are willing to pay extra to flee "So adios, idiots, the billionaires have better places to go"

 Monica Showalter - American Thinker

And the fact that this is happening tells a lot about just how bad California's governance is, which, augmented by election fraud, is probably impossible to change for the foreseeable future.

"California is well known for driving its productive citizens to other states.

"A proposed new 'billionaire tax,' that's coming up on the November ballot has already driven many of its most successful citizens -- Peter Thiel, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Stephen Spielberg -- to other states like Florida, Tennessee, Texas, Nevada, any place where the greedy hand of the state is not fixing to take another dip into their pockets. 

"The Wall Street Journal last week noticed something weird: A lot of them are moving to nearby Nevada ... and they're seemingly losing money by buying up properties around Lake Tahoe at inflated prices.

"According to the Journal:

As wealthy Californians flee the state, deep-pocketed buyers are taking refuge in Nevada, which is starting to rival Florida as a tax haven for the elite. Amid surging demand for prime Tahoe property in Nevada, a recent string of megadeals reflects the premium buyers are willing to pay for a lower tax bill—and the widening price gap between the two sides of the lake.

California’s proposed wealth tax effectively “sprinkled rocket fuel” on the ultraluxury market on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, said Bill Dietz of Tahoe Luxury Properties.

The proposal would levy a one-time, 5% tax on the net worth of residents with net assets of $1 billion or more, and would apply to anyone who resided in California as of Jan. 1, 2026. 

In December 2025, just after the tax was proposed, Google co-founder Sergey Brin paid $42 million for a lakefront home in Crystal Bay, Nev., property records show. The same month, a 210-acre estate in Zephyr Cove, Nev., sold for $80 million to an undisclosed buyer. Then in March, an entity tied to venture capitalist Steve Jurvetson shattered the Nevada and Tahoe records with the $125 million purchase of an estate in Incline Village, Nev. Jurvetson also picked up an adjacent $7 million property, and paid $46 million for a separate Incline Village home, for a total spend of $178 million. Brin didn’t respond to requests for comment. Jurveston declined to comment.

Trump on Meet the Press, and the Weaponization Fund   

"President Trump was on Meet the Press this morning, and his interview with Kristen Welker turned incendiary when Welker attacked Trump over the proposed fund to compensate victims of government weaponization. Welker, of course, wanted to talk about the January 6, 2021 protest, the most over-hyped news story on record." . . .

"WASHINGTON, DC: It wasn't Kristen Welker's grilling that sent Donald Trump storming out of his contentious NBC interview, it was the gloomy weather that pushed him over the edge.

"The 79-year-old president said the rainy conditions during the interview left him “a little bit angry,” setting the stage for his abrupt departure.

"During the ‘Meet the Press’ interview, which was set inside a sheltered, dry barn with a metal roof, host Welker grilled Trump on an array of topics, including his election fraud claims, gas prices, the state of American farming, and the war with Iran.

"However, roughly 50 minutes after sitting down, Trump abruptly brought the conversation to an end, blasting Welker's questioning tactics before ripping off his microphone and storming out.

“'You’re crooked, and Meet the Press is crooked, and so are ABC and CBS and CNN. One-sided crooked networks. Let’s call it quits, because I’ve had enough,” he said, before adding: “Thank you, darling. Have a good time.” . . .

"The “Meet the Press” host traveled to Wisconsin to interview Trump on a variety of topics, including the war with Iran, gas prices, and the “anti-weaponization” fund.

"Toward the end, Trump absolutely went off on the corrupt state of American elections, especially in California. Welker tried desperately to interrupt. But Trump would not let go.

29 MLB teams get gay for Pride Night. One stubbornly refuses.

Veterans get ONE day; Lincoln and Washington share the same day, America's birthday: one day (1); Gays get an entire month. Our children take this all in.

9 MLB teams get gay for Pride Night. One stubbornly refuses.

. . . "With that comes another deep dive into how each team is celebrating June with the 2026 Outsports MLB Pride Guide. This year, all the usual MLB Pride titans are back with new eleganza rainbow jerseys. Happily, a few teams who were safe last year also really stepped up their games.

"Of course, there are a few clubs whose Pride Nights can be summed up as “at least we’re gayer than the Texas Rangers.” And alas, said Rangers are still approaching Pride like they plan to move to Belarus.

"Still, this is the best time of year to be a baseball gay and many of these teams are about to show the sports world why."

'Good omens' is bad theology and worse morality - M. B. Mathews

"Good Omens is the perfect example of Uncle Screwtape's advice to Wormwood on how to deceive the unsaved and even the Christian by presenting anti-God arguments in pretty wrapping, in this case, the TV series, Good Omens

‘But Jesus never mentioned…!’ "Maybe James Talarico should consider when Jesus did mention those He “never knew.'”

 David McGinley 

. . . "In their Gospels, Matthew and Mark both quote Jesus as defining marriage as follows: “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.'” . . .

  

"It appears the Left, at least in certain parts of the country, has abandoned identity politics for a new strategy—“progressive (i.e., heretical) Christianity.” Of course, this brand of “Christianity” falls in line with all the current moral and cultural trends that define today’s Left. Think of it as a “modern” Christianity, perfectly aligned with whatever fad or tactic the Left finds politically expedient at the time.

"Though this political strategy may be new, it does include something borrowed (and now something blue): the parroting of the old “Jesus never mentioned this” canard. The canard that if Jesus, during His earthly ministry did not specifically mention something, then that something is up to anyone’s interpretation, especially a “progressive” politician’s. Enter James Talarico, the current “progressive” Democrat nominee for the U.S. Senate from Texas.

"Candidate Talarico is on record stating that Jesus never mentioned abortion or “gay marriage.” Accordingly, since Jesus never mentioned them, Talarico, in all humility, has taken it upon himself to speak on Jesus’s behalf. And, no surprise, just as Talarico is, Jesus would be fine with both. You see, Jesus did mention that we should love our neighbor, which, according to Talarico, means abortion on demand and gay marriage. Though that verse does not mention either, not to worry, this is just Talarico’s exegesis of the Word of God, to help clarify the Word of God because Jesus, the Word of God, forgot to mention it.

"The “Jesus didn’t mention” canard is putatively based solely upon what was quoted by the writers of the Gospels and conveniently (i.e., purposely) ignores the rest of the Bible. Talarico plays along with the ignorance game even though the denomination he lays claim to, Presbyterian Church (USA), teaches the Bible is the Word of God and the Bible teaches that Jesus is the Word of God Incarnate. Thus, everything that is in the Bible is something Jesus mentioned. I guess Talarico missed that day when it was taught at the “seminary” he attends." . . .    More...
