#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. ...


FTA:

"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."

Randy Fine, who was once ordered by a judge to attend rage management therapy, sicced USCP officers against a process server to fight off a lawsuit by CAIR. On one occasion, the porcine hatemonger somehow managed to duck under a desk to avoid being served with a subpoena. Link: Randy the Hebrew Ham Sandwich' Fine

Good-for-nothing NYC City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino (R) is suing to prevent a hearing from punishing her for tweeting disgusting anti-Muslim messages. Link: This gorgon is ugly inside as well as outside

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." ...




#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?
