#3 Well, now, that poll certainly explains these recent elections:

('Tis like shooting fish in a barrel ...)

-> Georgia voters ousted two Republican members of the state's Public Service Commission in favor of two Democrats - the first Democrats to win statewide nonfederal offices in decades.

-> Democrats in Mississippi Break the G.O.P.'s State House Supermajority

-> Every single county in Virginia - even deeply red counties - saw shifts TOWARDS the Democrats, as opposed to how they voted 1 year ago.

-> Dems flip Wichita School Board from a 4-3 GOP majority to a 5-2 Democratic majority. Democratic candidates Amy Warren and Amy Jensen defeated Republican incumbents Hazel Stabler and Kathy Bond.

-> Two of Tuesday's school board elections were in Bucks County, Pa., which was considered "ground zero" for right-wing groups' takeover of school boards in 2021. A few years ago, conservatives on these boards in Pennbridge and Central Bucks districts were using their roles to pass policies targeting LGBTQ+ students and banning books.

---> Democrats flipped control of both boards in 2023, and on Tuesday, they ousted every Republican from both of these boards, except for one. The Pennbridge school board is now 8-1, with Democratic members in control. The Central Bucks school board is 9-0.

-> In Texas, we even won in Lockhart, which sits in a district so red that Democrats normally don't even run. We had a clean sweep in Cy-Fair ISD, another deeply red area that not even Greg Abbott could save your party.

-> In SD-9, another red district, we saw an 8 point shift for the Democrat

-> Eileen Higgins elected as first Democratic mayor of Miami in three decades

Iran reportedly starts mining the Strait of Hormuz as U.S. readies intensified strikes
foxbaltimore.com

... Iran has reportedly started laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, which carries about one-fifth of all crude oil, according to CNN.

The mining is still in its beginning stages, and a few dozen have been laid in recent days. However, Iran still holds 80% to 90% of its small boats and mine layers, according to a source to CNN. Its forces could likely lay hundreds of mines in the waterway.

Allegedly, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps can deploy a "gauntlet" of dispersed mine-laying, boats and shore-based missile batteries. ...

"Look, there's a lot of energy in the country, and a lot of popular sentiment, that the demand to impose Sharia law in America is a serious problem," House Majority Mike Johnson (R-LA) sniveled at a news conference during the House GOP policy retreat at the Trumpf Doral resort. "That's what animates me."

Hatemonger Andy Ogles (R-TN) posted on social media that "Muslims don't belong in American society." Islamophobe Randy Fine (R-FL) wrote in a post on X that "If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one." Neither Ogles nor Fine differentiated between the Muslim faith and Sharia law."

Johnson then whined that "Democrats are guided solely by retribution and their blinding hatred for idiotic President Dummkopf Trumpf."

Why is there so much irrational hatred of Muslims emanating from these right wing charlatans?

The Muslim American population is estimated to be around 4.45 million people (a tiny 1.1% of the total US population).

The Palestinian population worldwide is estimated to be around 13 to 14 million; in Israel, about five million Palestinians live in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem; approximately two million reside in Israel as Arab citizens.

After ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu's ethnic cleansing pogrom, it's anyone's guess how many Muslims will be left alive in Israel in a few years.

Warmongering, Islamophobia, and the wholesale murder of Muslims in the Middle East will be losing tickets for several, but not all, American politicians during the primaries this year and on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

GOP-led Arizona election review closely matches Biden's winning margin (September 2021)
www.politico.com

... The tally from the review, which was backed by the Republican-controlled state Senate but has no bearing on President Joe Biden's long-official victory in the state, found Biden defeated former President Donald Trump in Maricopa County by about 45,000 votes, a slight increase of Biden's margin from the official count. ...

"You don't have to dig deep into the draft copy of the Arizona Senate/Cyber Ninja audit report to confirm what I already knew -- the candidates certified by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, Governor, Secretary of State and Attorney General -- did, in fact, win," board chair Jack Sellers, a Republican, said in a statement. "This means the tabulation equipment counted the ballots as they were designed to do, and the results reflected the will of the voters. That should be the end of the story." ...




Fox News apologizes for showing old video of a hatless Donald Trump at a dignified transfer ceremony
apnews.com

... Fox News apologized for airing old video of a hatless President Donald Trump during coverage Sunday of his attendance at the dignified transfer ceremony for U.S. soldiers killed in the Middle East war, insisting it was an honest mistake.

In a polarized time, some online critics suggested without evidence that it wasn't an error " that the network was trying to make Trump look better by not showing him wearing a baseball cap during what is considered one of the most solemn duties of a commander in chief. The return of the bodies of six soldiers took place Saturday at Dover Air Force Base.

But Fox News said archival footage of Trump at an earlier ceremony was inadvertently pulled up by a staff member and used on two Sunday morning telecasts. A spokeswoman noted the correct footage was used at other times, including on Saturday.

"We regret the error and apologize for the incorrect footage," Fox said in a statement. ...


#44 What? We're supposed to believe your "those sources suck."

Or do we look at what our #1 global economic adversary is doing regarding those sources?

As China becomes the global leader in renewable energy, the U.S. is falling behind

China is expanding renewable energy exponentially while the U.S. is going backward. How China became the global leader, why the U.S. falling behind and what it means for these countries' economies.

Dummkopf Trumpf bleated about "the complete destruction of Iran" and so Benjamin Netanyahu delivered.

The attack on the oil fields brought black smoke over Tehran, completely blocking out the sun.

Zaman Arisi

This is mass ecocide.

Trumpf and Netanyahu are not only bloodthirsty war criminals, but environmental terrorists.

How much lung, skin, and eye damage these two monsters caused to the people of Iran will be determined later, as well as how many innocent animals will die from this.

Innocent Iranian Jews in Tehran are being punished, as well as Iran's agriculture.

Which US POTUS has ever stood up to Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu over the past 25 years? Was it only Barack Obama?


"A female guard replied "If he is dead, we're going to cover it up and he's going to have an alibi " my officers," the FBI notes said. The inmate claimed the whole wing overheard the exchange.

Later, after learning Epstein had died, he said inmates said "Miss Noel killed Jeffrey."

He identified the female guard as Tova Noel, one of two correctional officers who were later charged with falsifying reports so that it appeared from their records that they had made their rounds that night " when they had not.

The charges against her and the other officer, Michael Thomas, were later dropped, but both were fired."

''

"The New York Post also reported on Saturday that Noel's bank flagged a $5,000 cash deposit she made to her Chase Bank account on July 30, 2019 " a week after Epstein was found in his cell in what prison officials concluded was a suicide attempt on July 23, 2019.

The official reports into that incident show that Epstein initially told prison officials that his cellmate had tried to kill him after extorting him for money.

The Post also reported that on the morning of Epstein's death on Aug. 10, Noel searched the term "latest on Epstein in jail" twice " once at 5:42 a.m. and again at 5:52 a.m., about 40 minutes before the other guard, Michael Thomas, found Epstein.

Her bank records, which are in the files, showed that Noel received thousands of dollars in cash and Zelle payments in the months before Epstein died. She has not been charged with any crime. The Miami Herald was unsuccessful in reaching her attorney on Saturday.

Epstein's former cellmate, Efrain Reyes, told prison officials that he told Epstein he would be safer if he paid inmates and guards for protection. Sources have told the Herald that Epstein did make protection payments.

Noel's bank records also reveal that she was making payments on a brand new Range Rover.

But she was not asked about the cash during her DOJ interview."
