The Morning Briefing: What Nefarious Trickery Will Democrats Stoop to In November?

 PJ Media

. . ."My latest column examines some of the potential hazards the GOP might face heading into the November midterm elections. I contend that Republican candidates need to be “outside the margin of magic mail-in ballots.”

"I go into detail about my misgivings about the vote-by-mail scam that, sadly, Republicans don’t fight against hard enough.

"Mail-in ballots are a known evil, however. What I worry about this year is some as-yet-unknown way to screw with things that we haven’t yet heard of.

"Even when they’re awash in misery like they are at present, the Democrats are working feverishly on conjuring up new “anomalies” that can be introduced into the electoral process. They never lose focus. I imagine them working with a combination of computers, cauldrons, and cult labor minions whose eyes have been glazed over since the first time they got stoned during an Obama speech. All day. All night.

"Democrats certainly won’t be lacking any motivation to come up with more dark magic. They’ve known for a while now that November was bringing a freight train filled with pain their way.

"Also, the train is coming down a mountain and has no brakes.

"Put mildly, the Democrats have been hitting some rough patches when it comes to their lunatic fringe pet issues.". . .

Foul-Mouthed Liberal Women

The Post-Prime of Miss Janeane Garofalo - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  "Insisting on being unpleasant doesn’t mean you win in the end."

She’s so far left that she thinks white people are having babies so that — no kidding — there will be enough white soldiers when the race wars start.

 

 Foul-Mouthed Liberal Women   "Most people I know, myself included, just didn’t want to have a f**king baby!”

"So declares a musician named Lily Allen (Right), adding a double-exclamation upon her proclamation by hoisting both middle fingers in the air. Unlike Political News Media, Lily lacked the dignity to abbreviate the f-word. She was expressing in her endearing way why she and “most people” she knows aborted their unborn babies. Quite a crew.

"I’m pleased to admit I never heard of the demure Ms. Allen until I came across her statement last Sunday the Lord’s Day, mind you.

"What has Ms. Allen fuming is the same thing that has other young liberal women of her attitude seething with rage, namely, the overturning of Roe v. Wade via the glorious Dobbs decision, rendered to us by my new hero, Justice Samuel Alito, who hereby I propose be carved into Mt. Rushmore. The likes of Lily would surely prefer to carve up the Great Alito in less honorable ways.

"Ms. Allen was joined on stage by 19-year-old Disney Channel star Olivia Rodrigo. Allen charmingly held up her middle fingers while Rodrigo rattled off the Supreme Court justices who overruled their beloved Roe. The two classy divas then belted off a little ditty dedicated to the justices. Pointedly titled, “F—k You!” it included a delightful chorus aimed at Alito, Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, and Neil Gorsuch: “We hate you!”

"Hate is what they do. They do it exceedingly well. And of course, they’re not alone, especially in the music industry.". . .

"California’s Gov. Newsom is already at war with 22 states as he prepares to run for president in 2024."

 

https://www.terrellaftermath.com/

"California Gov. Gavin Newsom was vacationing in Montana, where he has family, on July 4 when his reelection campaign ran a 30-second spot on Fox News in Florida in which he called out Florida for “banning books, restricting speech, making it harder to vote, criminalizing women and doctors.”

"Newsom then invited Floridians to “join us in California, where we still believe in freedom.”

"Newsom certainly feels free to do what he wants to do.

"Montana is one of 22 states California has banned from state-funded travel because of what its Attorney General Rob Bonta calls “an ongoing wave of discriminatory anti-trans legislation sweeping across the country.”

" 'We’re putting our money where are values are,” Bonta explained when he added states to the no-travel list.

"Newsom is putting his money where his values are, too — one standard for him, another for the masses.

"It’s the French Laundry all over again — when Newsom was seen dining with lobbyist friends maskless and without social distancing even as his office was urging Californians to scale down Thanksgiving dinners and telling locals, “Going out to eat with members of your household this weekend? Don’t forget to keep your mask on in between bites.”

"Freedom of religion? Not high on Newsom’s list. He banned indoor worship, ostensibly to curb COVID, even as the entertainment industry and retailers were open for business. (The U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the order.)

"There is no book ban. Florida has rejected textbooks bubbling with progressive sensibilities.". . .

Gavin Newsom Reveals the Hilariously Dumb Reason He's Targeting Ron DeSantis  "Gavin Newsom began a one-sided feud recently with Ron DeSantis after dropping an ad buy in Florida proclaiming California the real bastion of “freedom” in the country. I say one-sided because DeSantis has taken the “I don’t even think about you at all” approach to the situation, continuing to focus on scoring wins in his state while Newsom flails wildly, attempting to position himself for a 2024 run.". . .

Gavin Newsom Admits He’s Oblivious To LA District Attorney’s Work As Public Sounds Alarm On Crime Spike  . . ."Michaelson asked Newsom point-blank in the clip whether Gascon was “doing a good job” in Los Angeles. Gascon, a progressive, has been facing a recall campaign, largely due to crime rising to historic levels since he assumed the role.

“ 'I don’t know enough about the job he’s done. I’m deeply concerned about the criticism, and we have expressed ourselves very publicly along those lines, including in Los Angeles, as it relates to some of the issue[s] happening in retail theft, some of the issues happening in the railroad yards,” Newsom told Michaelson of Fox 11 Los Angeles. “I’ve expressed my own issues privately as well, and I’ll leave the more objective analysis of his job to locals.”

'Good Samaritan' With Gun Stopped Indiana Mall Shooter 'As Soon As He Began'

That young bystander's action stands in stark contrast to the response of hundreds of authorities in Uvalde, Texas, who waited outside the classroom for more than one hour before acting to put down the shooter — and it also again shows why over-reliance on the government is a dangerous choice to make.  

 Townhall  "In another Democrat narrative-debunking situation, a law-abiding citizen carrying a firearm stopped a shooting in progress at a mall food court in Indiana over the weekend — and is likely to be ignored by most within the mainstream media despite overwhelming praise from leaders in the community. 

"In a Greenwood, Indiana, mall — roughly 15 miles south of Indianapolis — a man armed with a rifle opened fire on Sunday evening in the food court, fatally shooting three individuals and wounding two others. But then, a "a good Samaritan with a handgun," according to Greenwood police Chief James Ison, put the shooter down.

"The bystander, identified as a 22-year-old who was in the food court when the shooting started, "was able to stop this shooter almost as soon as he began." Ison added. "The real hero of the day is the citizen that was lawfully carrying a firearm in that food court," he said at a press conference.". . .

The local leaders' praise for the law-abiding firearm owner however has not been matched in national reporting, much of which has been hyping up every "mass shooting" — using dubious data — but went notably quiet after a good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy with a gun and proved the value of lawful firearm ownership.

Who listens to Lemon?

 Silvio Canto, Jr.

First, this is Lemon trying to get a headline.  Unfortunately, and I'm guilty of this, we react to his nonsense.  We are talking about him, are we not?  He probably gets a larger audience when we talk about him.

Second, this is what Lemon has been doing for years.  His show is nothing but Trump bashing, which is why most serious Republicans avoided it like a plague.

Turn off the TV, get some real lemons and make some lemonade.  You will feel a lot better.

Rep. Jim Jordan Reads a List of ALL Pro-Life Churches and Centers Attacked In Just 10 Weeks

100%FedUp   "Representative Jim Jordan reads off a list of all the pro-life churches and centers attacked by the radical left recently

"In recent months numerous crisis pregnancy centers, pro-life health centers, and churches have been vandalized, firebombed, and otherwise attacked by radical left pro-abortion rioters. Groups such as “Jane’s Revenge” and “Ruth Sent Us” have claimed responsibility for the vast majority of these attacks, yet the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are doing everything they can not to put a stop to these domestic terrorist attacks.

"Similarly, the mainstream media is hardly covering these events.

"Lives are being destroyed while individuals are threatened and pro-life patriots and believers are targeted by infanticidal leftists.

"Today, Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio reads off a list of the many churches, businesses, and health centers targeted and destroyed by radical left sociopaths.". . .

Cheney Trails Trump-Endorsed Challenger By 22 Points: Poll

 The Federalist

Previous surveys have offered similar findings.

"A new poll out Friday shows Wyoming’s nominal Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney trailing her Trump-backed challenger by more than 20 points.

"According to the joint survey by the Casper-Star Tribune and Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy, attorney Harriet Hageman leads Cheney 52 percent to 30 percent a month before the August primary.

“The big story is Liz Cheney is going to get beat,” said Brad Coker, the managing director of the polling firm co-opted by the Star-Tribune. “That’s a foregone conclusion.”

"Together, Mason-Dixon Polling and the local paper interviewed 1,100 registered Wyoming voters between July 7-11 for the survey with a 3 percent margin of error.

“This is the first independent, public in-state poll to be conducted” in the race, the Star-Tribune reported.". . .

Biden’s Embarrassing Handshake Flub That Everyone Missed

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reports that Dayan “is famous in Israel in part for becoming more religiously observant, embracing the principle of shomer negiah, a prohibition on opposite-sex touching that some Orthodox Jews believe is required. The prohibition is rooted in the idea that any touch can lead to sexual impropriety.”

 Issues & Insights  "Biden shakes hands with the air … again” is the label on a video clip of President Joe Biden after he receives the Presidential Medal of Honor from Israeli President Isaac Herzog at an event in Jerusalem on Thursday.

"After shaking hands with Herzog, Biden turns and appears to extend his hand again to shake … with nobody. This is the second time Biden has made this odd move. Back in April, he did the same thing, and the clip went viral enough that the “fact-checking” press had to rush in to defend Biden, saying he was simply gesturing to the audience.

"This time, there is no audience, just a couple of empty chairs.

"It’s not entirely clear from the video why Biden extends his hand like this. It almost appears as though he’s giving himself stage directions, as in “now head over this way, Mr. President.”  

"Whatever Biden was thinking, it’s clear that he is incredibly enfeebled, as he shuffles stiffly over to his seat, with Herzog literally guiding him and pointing at the chair where Biden is supposed to sit.". . .

. . ."It is an embarrassing moment for Biden, and a troubling one for the nation, given that our enemies are no doubt paying close attention to this buffoon, even as our domestic press covers for him.

"But that’s not the most embarrassing handshake flub at this event.

"After carefully making his way down to his chair, Biden smiles – as though happy with his achievement – and then he and Herzog watch a pop duet sing a Hebrew rendition of “Let it Be.”

"At the end of the song, they walk over to the singers, and Biden shakes hands with Ran Danker (forgetting that he’d promised to forgo handshakes while in Israel because of COVID)." . . .

Then he reaches out to shake Yuval Dayan’s hand. But she refuses to reciprocate. And Biden is left hanging. Click the video below to watch that.". . .

Regime Propaganda, Ray Epps, and the New York Times

 "In order to understand what the Times is up to, one needs to approach its stories as one would approach those emitted by the Soviet Union or other totalitarian regimes."

Todd Schowalter Productions.

"Who is Ray Epps? We don’t really know—not yet. "

Roger Kimball  . . ."But in the succeeding months, the Narrative had changed. The preposterous show trials of the “select” January 6 committee, Loopy Liz Cheney presiding, is not getting the traction it was supposed to get. People who work for CNN, MSNBC, or kindred outlets are all behind Cheney in her mad vendetta against Trump. But the mass of people across the country do not care one whit about the “findings” of the committee. Most people can recognize a partisan witch hunt when they see one, and this Star Chamber performance has done more to engender disgust at Congress than it has to turn people against Trump.

"Moreover, with every passing week, evidence that the entire January 6 protest was planned and abetted not by Donald Trump and his nefarious agents but rather by elements of the anti-Trump regime has been piling up. Julie Kelly here at American Greatness and Darren Beattie at Revolver News have been at the forefront of the effort to uncover the truth behind the Wizard-of-Oz-like spectacle of January 6. Now the regime seems to be panicking.

"Hence the Times is willing to transform Ray Epps from perpetrator into victim in order to influence the Narrative. Their proximate goal is signaled in the subtitle to their maudlin valentine: “Ray Epps became the unwitting face of an attempt by pro-Trump forces to promote the baseless idea that the F.B.I. was behind the attack on the Capitol.”

"Ah. The “baseless” idea, you see. 

"Yes, even in that video taken on January 5, 2021, when Epps tells the crowd that the next day they must go “into the Capitol, into the Capitol,” members of the crowd start chanting “Fed, Fed, Fed.” They knew.". . .

"Court records showed that the homeless man who attacked a former Olympian had a frightening history of assaulting women for the past four years.

"He just came up behind me and he socked me," said attack survivor Irene Lee. "I felt like a car or bike ad hit me and I started stumbling forward and just crying."

She remembers the attack vividly. In August 2020, while she was an attorney at the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, Lee walked over to a Starbucks with a coworker in downtown L.A. when she was randomly attacked. 

"I'm screaming out crying," she said. "Cindy is calling for help and a security guard pepper sprayed my attacker."

The same man who attacked Lee, 51-year-old Semeon Tasfamarean, also assaulted former Olympian and model Kim Glass last week when he allegedly threw a construction bolt at the silver medalist.

"Him or other people like that are going to hurt more people," Glass said in an earlier interview. "He's
