The Left Is Pushing To Reshape Voting
Systems Across America — Here’s How
Posted By: Imright, 10/15/2022 4:31:08 PM
The left’s latest ploy to remake elections is a complicated scheme called “ranked-choice voting” (RCV). Advocates claim it strengthens “majority rule” and leads to a healthier democracy, and they’ve pushed dozens of municipalities and two states to use it. Nevada is their latest target. Voters there will decide on election day if they want to join in this nationwide experiment. If experience is any judge, they’d be wise to sit this one out. If the measure known as Question 3 eventually passes (it would have to pass again in 2024), Nevada’s traditional election system will be upended. Party primaries will be replaced with a California-style “jungle primary.”

Joe Biden is set to announce another release of more oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve ahead of the midterms in an effort to (artificially) bring gas prices down.
“The White House will release 10 million to 15 million barrels from the reserve as part of an existing plan, announced in March, to release 180 million barrels of crude oil into the market throughout the year, according to two industry people granted anonymity to discuss confidential discussions with the administration. There are about 15 million barrels remaining in the original release authorized by the White House.” Politico reported.
On Monday night, Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan and Republican J.D. Vance met for their second debate as they vie to see who will replace retiring Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) and fill Ohio's open U.S. Senate seat. While a hallmark of this most recent debate, just like last week's, was on Ryan's desperation and penchant for personal attacks, another memorable moment was the discussion of January 6, 2021.
Debate moderator Bertram de Souza gave a description of the January 6th select committee's findings that were rather friendly to the committee, which included mentioning the committee was "bipartisan." He asked the candidates if former President Donald Trump should comply with the subpoena
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that she dismissed a poll saying Americans’ top concerns going into the November midterm that Americans are most concerned about inflation and crime.
Mitchell said, “Let’s talk about rising inflation concerns along with crime, giving momentum, new momentum to Republicans after the Democrats were closing the gap, the historic gap. After the Supreme Court ruling, there was huge outrage. That has seemed to subside, at least among overriding concerns. Despite all the legislative accomplishments, and I want to cite them, I want to say it’s been an extraordinary session.
According to a recent report in ClickOrlando, two robbers were shot and killed when they tried to rob a jewelry store in the Magin Mall in Orlando, Florida.
The attempted robbery, which happened at around 11:45 in the morning, was conducted by four attempted robbers, so the police are still searching for the remaining two.
Of the two suspects who were shot, one was killed at the scene of the attempted robbery and so police had to do no searching for him.
The other one who was shot got in the car with the two other surviving suspects and drove off but, according to ClickOrlando, he was found in the abandoned vehicle

Vulnerable Dems Ahead of Election Day

There are three weeks left before Election Day, and with most voters focused squarely on crime, the economy, and inflation and how they’ll make ends meet as gas and food prices continue their sharp rise, President Joe Biden is set to give a speech that has the potential to torpedo the hopes and dreams of vulnerable Democrat candidates for office across the country.
On Tuesday, Biden will give a speech to the DNC in which he’ll pledge to codify abortion rights soon after the next Congress convenes, provided he has comfortable majorities in both the House and Senate:
“He will say that if the American people elect more
Somalia-born Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN), notorious for her antisemitic sentiments, was ripped online after she accused former President Donald Trump of antisemitism while being a featured guest on the subject despite her personal history of antisemitic rhetoric.
Appearing on MSNBC’s The Mehdi Hasan Show on Sunday night, Omar, addressing the former president’s recent remarks suggesting American Jews be more appreciative of all he had done for Israel while president, called out Republican “hypocrisy.”
PHOENIX, AZ – Arizona’s Kari Lake, a former Fox 10 Phoenix anchor running for governor as a Republican, sat down with Breitbart News for an exclusive interview where she recounted why she exited the world of journalism and detailed what sets her skyrocketing grassroots campaign apart from other candidates.
Lake, who Democrat strategists see as a “major MAGA star” in the making, spoke with Breitbart News on Wednesday evening in Phoenix. After 22 years at Fox 10 and nearly three decades as an anchor, Lake said she decided to leave the world of journalism because leftist bias made its way to the forefront of news coverage.
“Since at least the World War II generation, most parents who held conservative values either did not think they had to teach their children those values or simply did not know how to do so. Most still don’t. If asked to define conservative values, most conservatives will be tongue-tied.”
That’s what I wrote in Part I in explaining why I am writing “Explaining Conservativism.”
I discussed the preeminent value of conservativism — freedom, and the preeminent freedom — of speech.
In Part II, I will discuss an equally important conservative value, which derives from the word itself.
Conservativism conserves.

Here at “O’Connor Tonight,” we pride ourselves on interviewing the newsmakers and Americans driving the conversations in this country. And there’s nobody on earth driving the conversation more than America’s 45th president: Donald J. Trump.
I had the chance to talk with President Trump on the show tonight, and we covered everything from the Democrats' failed policies destroying our cities to Kanye West and his recent comments on American Jews.
But perhaps the most pressing issue we discussed was the continued fallout from the FBI raid at Trump’s private residence at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, as ordered by FBI Director Christopher Wray.

A 48-year-old man was fatally shoved in front of an oncoming Queens subway train during Monday night’s rush hour after he accidentally bumped into another rider, cops and police sources said.
The senseless crime occurred after the pusher’s cell phone dropped onto the tracks when he was knocked into at the Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue 74th Street station just before 4:45 p.m., according to cops and the sources.
The 50-year-old man who was bumped yelled at the other man to retrieve his phone from the tracks, sources said. The rider refused and the pair got into a scuffle.
Republican J.D. Vance, running for Ohio’s open United States Senate seat, slammed opponent Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) during the debate Monday night for “sucking up” to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the national Democrats, claiming he supports his party’s leaders 100 percent of the time.
During the debate, Vance said that Ryan had taken campaign donations from the national Democrats, alluding to the money being donated to him, because he toes the party line and votes with his leadership 100 percent of the time, even though Ryan claims to go against his party: You’ve taken tens of millions of dollars, Tim, from technology companies, for out-of-state money.

Researchers with Boston University have developed a strain of COVID-19 that killed 80 percent of mice infected with it, according to a preprint study released last week, prompting concern and condemnation.
The team of researchers extracted the Omicron variant’s spike protein, which they noted has “an unusually large number of mutations.” The researchers then attached Omicron’s spike protein, which is a structure that allows a virus to bind and invade human cells, to the original Wuhan COVID-19 variant that reportedly emerged in late 2019. They dubbed it “Omicron S.”

Former President George W. Bush is taking time away from his retirement to campaign for Senate candidate Joe O’Dea of Colorado — who has bucked his party by saying he would not support former President Donald Trump as the next GOP nominee. According to Bridget Bowman of NBC News, the last Republican president to win the popular vote at least once will come back out of retirement to campaign for O’Dea:
Former FBI agent Peter Strzok said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that he believed the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 was a far greater threat to American democracy than the 9/11 terror attack.
Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “I worked in the administration in which he served as FBI director. What he sort of gave birth to in the lexicon was the FBI would never again, first of all fail to sync up with a CIA, and all sorts of artificial and real walls were torn down and they would never again fail to connect the dots. I’ve not heard one utterance of connecting the dots from Christopher Wray

President Biden is expected to pledge during a Tuesday night speech that his top legislative priority after the midterms will be codifying a national right to abortion, should the Democratic Party retain control of the House and expand its Senate footprint.
During his remarks at the Howard Theater in Washington, D.C. Tuesday night, Biden is expected to pledge that the first bill he will send to legislators in a new Democratic Congress will codify Roe v. Wade, the New York Times first reported. The move is intended to galvanize his support among Democratic and independent women as his polling numbers slump ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Researchers at Boston University say they have developed a new COVID strain that has an 80% kill rate following a series of similar experiments first thought to have started the global pandemic that began in China.
The variant, a combination of Omicron and the original virus in Wuhan, killed 80% of the mice infected with it, the university said. When mice were only exposed to Omicron, they experienced mild symptoms.
The research was conducted by a team of scientists from Florida and Boston at the school's National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories. They extracted the spike protein from Omicron and attached it with the strain first detected at the onset

Colorado GOP Senate nominee Joe O'Dea says he will campaign against former President Donald Trump if he were to run for president in 2024.
“I don’t think Donald Trump should run again,” O’Dea said in an interview Sunday on CNN’s "State of the Union." “I’m going to actively campaign against Donald Trump and make sure that we’ve got four or five really great Republicans right now.”
Among those mentioned as potential 2024 GOP presidential candidates are former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
While special counsel John Durham’s prosecution of Steele dossier source Igor Danchenko appears to be headed toward acquittal, Durham has used the trial to make public a number of revelations that cast the entire Trump-Russia collusion narrative in a fresh light.
Most prominently, Durham revealed that on Oct. 3, 2016, the FBI had offered dossier author Christopher Steele up to $1 million to provide any information, physical evidence, or documentary evidence that could back up the claims in his dossier. But despite the huge reward on offer, Steele did not provide any such information.
(snip) a mere 18 days later the FBI proceeded to obtain a FISA warrant against Trump 2016 presidential
Shocking video posted online lays bare just how crime-ridden downtown Minneapolis has become, with a police horse harassed and sworn at, people brawling, and illegal street races happening near where rowdy women twerked on top of cars. The scene outside The Gay 90s bar on Saturday night seemed chaotic in the video posted online by Rebecca Brannon, as girls were filmed twerking on top of cars and yelling at a police horse as an officer tried to break up a fight involving the women. Officers in the video told the girls to 'get out, keep moving' after the fight broke
Ghislaine Maxwell has admitted she thinks her pedophile ex-partner Jeffrey Epstein’s death behind bars three years ago is “profoundly suspicious.”
The locked-up socialite told documentary filmmaker Daphne Barak that she was “totally shocked” when her well-connected ex was found dead in his Manhattan cell in August 2019 — and still has doubts it was suicide.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has officially canceled the winter snow crab season, according to CBS News.
What we know:
It is the first time in history this has ever been done, however, it is now necessary due to the crabs’ rapidly declining numbers in the Bering Sea. According to state officials, it is estimated that one billion crabs have vanished in two years. This constitutes a 90% population loss.
The nation’s seafood industry will no doubt feel the effects as seafood lovers will not be able to find the crustaceans in restaurants and markets. And scientists are concerned about how the sudden decrease in population will affect the Arctic ecosystem.
First lady Jill Biden was an honorary captain for the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday as the team looked to stay undefeated against NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys in Week 6.
Like several Eagles players and Santa Claus before her, fans of the only unbeaten team left in NFL reportedly booed Biden when she stepped onto Lincoln Financial Field.
Several people in attendance for the Eagles game tweeted about the apparent loud boos she received.

Ulta may be regretting whatever marketing “genius” came up with this idea. In a recent post on Twitter, Ulta highlighted a podcast with two grown men in makeup and wigs chatting about what it’s like to be a “girl.” The makeup giant’s target audience is obviously women. It’s probably a safe bet that over 90% of Ulta’s customers are women. The choice to put men in drag in the marketing material for a company geared toward women is backfiring big time.
#Womanface and #BoycottUlta are trending on Twitter, and the ratio of angry women telling Ulta they’re taking their business elsewhere is off the charts. It got so bad that Ulta
