Deliver this one straight into my veins, NY Times:
Republicans are pressing their advantage deep into Democratic territory in the closing stretch of the 2022 campaign, competing for an abundance of House seats amid growing signs that voters are poised to punish President Biden’s party even in the bluest parts of America.
Republicans need to win only a handful of seats to take over the House of Representatives, which Democrats now control by a narrow margin of 220-212. But with two weeks until the election, Republicans are looking to run up the score
Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) was a man on a mission during his debate on Tuesday against Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul.
The big focus of their race has been crime, the top issue in New York. Zeldin has focused on it like a laser beam, and he’s closed the gap that he originally had with Hochul. As we noted, the latest poll had Zeldin leading by under a point. That probably means that Zeldin is up by even more. But listen in the clips below, as Zeldin just decimates Hochul on crime. Hochul shows how limited the position of Democrats is on this point — all they can talk
Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) went after Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) during Tuesday night’s New York gubernatorial debate when the incumbent refused to name a single restriction on abortion she supports, and seemed to promote abortion after a woman’s sixth month of pregnancy.
“Are there any restrictions around abortions you would approve of?” a debate moderator asked the Democrat point-blank. “What we have in New York state is simply a codification of Roe v. Wade, so what has been out there since …
On Monday, John Fetterman’s campaign desperately sought to lower expectations for their candidate when he faced off against Republican nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz—even going so far as to suggest that they expected Fetterman to lose.
I can assure you they didn’t lower expectations nearly enough.
I watched the entire debate, and I have to admit that I sometimes felt bad for Fetterman. I’m sure he expected to have bounced back from the stroke quicker and stronger than he has, but Tuesday night’s debate performance merely demonstrated just how far he has to go in his recovery. Without a doubt

A paid campaign staffer for Democrat Mark Kelly was seen on video admitting to using deceptive tactics to garner votes for the candidate, a video from Project Veritas Action (PVA) reveals.
“Well, he’s not going to say anything outright about what he’s going to do unless it will garner support from Independents and some of the moderate Republicans,” Evynn Bronson, a paid campaign field organizer for Democrat Senator Mark Kelly, is seen saying to a Project Veritas Action journalist during the video.
“He needs them. Otherwise, he won’t win,” she also explained. If Kelly is honest about his agenda, it “will scare people away,” Bronson says in the video.

Biden’s war on oil has consequences, and now the chickens are coming home to roost. We’ve already gotten a taste of it nationwide with persistent, sky-high gas prices. In California, we felt it this summer as our power grid was stretched to capacity by heat waves and we were subject to rolling brown-outs along with warnings not to use appliances or charge electric cars. How very First World.
(As an aside, every year when there’s a heat wave in Southern Cal, the enviros go whacko and scream, “Climate change! Climate change!” And yet every year that I’ve lived here for the past 30 years there’s been a heat wave in September.
New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Rep. Lee Zeldin said in Tuesday night’s debate that he is running for governor to clean up crime in the state.
“Kathy Hochul supports cashless bail,” Zeldin said. “As soon as it got implemented, she was out there bragging about it. She chose the champion of the defund the police movement and the architect of cashless bail Brian Benjamin [to be her lieutenant governor]. Yeah. That guy who got arrested and had to resign. That was her first big decision to make as governor.”
“We need to repeal cashless ball,” Zeldin continued. “We need to make our streets safe again. I’m running to take back our streets
John Fetterman opened his only debate tonight with, “Hi Goodnight everybody.”

Harrisburg, Pa. — John Fetterman, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, said during a debate against Republican Mehmet Oz on Tuesday that he would support allocating federal funds to transport women across states lines to have abortions.
“I would because I believe abortion rights is a universal right for all women in America,” Fetterman said when asked if he would support such an allocation of federal funds. “I believe that abortion is health care and I believe that that is a choice that belongs with each woman and their doctor.”
“I want to look into the face of every woman
Paranoia and fearmongering -- you can just smell it among the Democrats and their boosters.
Today they got caught putting out bare naked disinformation about Republican plans for the country once they win the midterm election. They claimed Republicans were going to steal grandma's Social Security check and tax veterans benefits, among other unpopular ideas no credible party would ever endorse.
These Democrats know they're slip-sliding away, you can see it even in the governors' races now, so the idea now is to scare the voters into voting for the Democrat status quo instead of embrace a new party.
One problem: It's not a distortion of the Republican plans, it's actual lies,
A rural Arizona county is bucking the system. Refusing to bow to pressure from the left and despite dire warnings of litigation, the southern Arizona county added a step to “protect their voters from potential fraud.”
The Cochise County Board of Supervisors, situated 90 miles southeast of Tucson, voted 2-1 to approve a measure requiring a full hand count following the November 8 election.
During the four-hour meeting, including public testimony, Republicans Tom Crosby and Peggy Judd voted for the measure drafted by Crosby, while Democrat Ann English voted against it.

Awkward doesn’t begin to describe the Manning brothers asking former President Obama about the upcoming midterm elections and they couldn’t quite hide the less-than-disinterested expressions on their faces as he blathered on about voting. (Video) Peyton and Eli Manning had Obama on their alternative Monday Night Football Broadcast. It was apparent they either felt obligated to or were instructed to ask Obama about the upcoming midterm elections where Democrats are widely expected to get a shellacking for their horrific woke policies. The Super Bowl-winning brothers looked downright bored while listening to the former president.
Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith announced bipartisan legislation Tuesday to rename a Federal Building in downtown Minneapolis in honor of the late Sen. Paul Wellstone. The senators say they are pushing for the name to be changed to the Paul D. Wellstone Federal Building.
The announcement comes on the 20th anniversary of the plane crash that killed Sen. Wellstone, his wife Sheila, daughter Marcia and campaign aides Tom Lapic, Will McLaughlin, Mary McEvoy, and two pilots.

Republican candidate for governor of Michigan Tudor Dixon hammered Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Tuesday for vetoing bills that would help Michiganders suffering from inflation.
“This governor has not done anything to help inflation, but I would put money back in your pockets,” Dixon said during the final Michigan midterm debate.
Dixon pointed out that Whitmer vetoed multiple Republican bills to help residents of the state, including a child tax credit, two different income tax cuts, help for retirees on fixed income, and a gas tax holiday.
She also reminded voters that Whitmer wanted to raise the gas tax by 45 cents but that thanks to Republicans in the state legislature, she was unsuccessful.

Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) came out swinging against Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) during Tuesday night’s New York gubernatorial debate, hitting the incumbent on the issue of rising crime in the deep-blue state.
When the duo were asking about crime in the state, Hochul promoted laws cracking down on gun laws and failed progressive policies.
A Fiery Zeldin, in turn, ripped the Democrat, “Kathy Hochul believes that the only crimes being committed are crimes with guns; you have people who are afraid to be pushed in front of oncoming subway cars, they’re being stabbed, beaten to death on the street with hammers.”
Sitting at a campground way outside Nashville, singer-songwriter Michael Farren turned on his iPhone to record a raw and acoustic version of a new song “Checking In,” a song that simply and intimately suggests to listeners to do one of two things: call your dad or take that call from your dad.
Little did he know that what he was about to record would go viral within a few days, garnering over 350,000 views on TikTok, with almost 30,000 likes along with thousands of shares and comments.
Farren had only performed “Checking In” once for people just a few days earlier at the famous Listening Room in Nashville.

The New York Supreme Court has ordered reinstatement for all employees fired over their nonvaccinated status and ordered back pay for those who were unlawfully terminated from employment [Full pdf Ruling Here].
The state supreme court found that being vaccinated does not stop the spread of COVID-19, saying the vaccine mandate and firing of the non-compliant employees was “arbitrary and capricious.” This is a strong rebuke to the totalitarian fiats created by state leaders including the state governor, mayor of New York City and health commissioner.
Months of campaigning could all come down to this one debate — exactly two weeks ahead of Election Day and with the race nearly neck and neck — for Republican gubernatorial challenger Lee Zeldin and incumbent Democrat Kathy Hochul.
The hour-long debate will be hosted by Spectrum News-NY1 at Pace University and will begin at 7 p.m. It will also air live on WNYC.

It’s been some years since Google decided to bury my search results somewhere on Page 8. A lot of my articles have become outright inaccessible even when searched for in the most specific possible ways. This is a commonplace experience among conservatives.

A large magnitude 5.1 earthquake struck just east of San Jose, Calif., Tuesday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey which called the temblor the largest quake to strike the San Francisco Bay Area in eight years. The quake, which struck at 11:42 a.m. PDT, was centered about 12 miles east of San Jose in Joseph D. Grant County Park. The quake, which was felt as far away as Salinas, Point Reyes and Stockton, rattled residents who posted videos to social media of the shaking.

Hampshire Senate Race with $1M After McConnell Abandoned replies
Sen. Rick Scott’s (R-FL) National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) will reengage with New Hampshire’s Senate race with $1 million dollars after the Sen. Mitch McConnell-backed super PAC abandoned Republican candidate Gen. Don Bolduc last week.
The cash infusion comes at the perfect time for Gen. Bolduc, who is now virtually tied with Democrat incumbent Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) after trailing in the polls by double digits just last month. New Hampshire’s Senate seat is one of eight battleground states that will determine which party controls the Senate.
The NRSC had previously shifted its resources and allowed the McConnell-backed Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) to take the lead in attacking Hassan, but
Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants had their cases thrown out by immigration judges after documents were not filed in time by Department of Homeland Security officials, according to newly released data.
Data obtained and analyzed by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University, found that 63,586 cases were dismissed in FY 2022 as of the end of September because officials, mainly Border Patrol agents, are not filing the Notice to Appear (NTA) in time.
Migrants who are apprehended by Border Patrol after entering the U.S. illegally in many cases are released into the U.S. with an NTA, which gives them a court date and address to appear
If the mainstream media had any self-awareness or integrity at all, the latest Gallup findings on trust in the news media would prompt intensive soul-searching. As Gallup puts it, trust in the media is at a “record low.” Here’s the headline chart: Note that the largest plurality of trust in the media is “none at all.” One more level of refinement: Democrats like the media. Why would that be? Only the media won’t be able to figure it out.
President Joe Biden got his fifth COVID-19 shot on Tuesday, telling Americans that they should get “one COVID shot a year.” Meanwhile, a large part of the country’s people have returned to their pre-pandemic lives.
The president televised his booster shot and made a speech urging Congress to continue funding the fight against COVID, which he called a “global health emergency.”
“It’s time to step up with much-need COVID funding. Help us stay ahead of the virus, and keep our communities going strong with free vaccines, free tests, and widely-available treatments,” Biden said.
During the daily briefing at the White House Tuesday afternoon, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about record voter turnout in Georgia just two weeks out from Election Day.

(Tweet/Video) New numbers released Monday from Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirm the state's new voter integrity laws, passed last year and signed by Republican Governor Brian Kemp, have juiced record turnout just two weeks away from Election Day.
Just a few days after U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced he would pull his Senate Leadership Fund PAC out of New Hampshire on the 25th, two polls showed the Republican candidate surging into what is now virtually a tied race.
According to an Emerson poll released Monday, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Gen. Don Bolduc has surged five points since last month and is now down only three points — 45-48 percent — to incumbent Sen. Maggie Hassan.
A second poll released by AmGreatness/Insider Advantage says we have a single point race, with Hassan at 48 percent and Bolduc at 47 percent.
We’ve been saying that the momentum seems to be all toward the Republicans at this point. We’ve seen even in New York that Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) polling having him in a dead heat with Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul, which is another big sign that Democrats are in deep trouble in the midterms.
According to the Fox News Power Ranking, 5 races in the blue Northeast just shifted towards the Republicans.
Fox is also predicting the likely scenario in the race for the House to be 233 for the Republicans and 202 for the Democrats. They also noted that the “ideal” night for Republicans could mean
MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace suggested it may be time “to ask for friends and allies to come over and help us monitor our elections” on a segment this week, claiming America “used to do that in other burgeoning and threatened democracies,” as she warned of the “threats” to democracy posed by Republicans.
Sitting with Congressman Jim Himes (D-CT) on MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House” on Monday, host Nicolle Wallace discussed alleged internal and external threats to upcoming U.S. elections while stressing the need for “reliable safeguards against ever present national security threats.”
Aaron J. Brown still remembers his last conversation with Paul Wellstone, the fiery liberal senator from Minnesota who stopped in to visit Brown’s newspaper office during the final push of his 2002 reelection campaign. “He didn’t know if he was gonna win, but he liked where he was,” Brown recalled of Wellstone’s thinking. Figuratively, Wellstone was in one of the toughest Senate races in the nation. Literally he also liked where he was, the Iron Range, almost 200 miles north of the populous Twin Cities, a region whose identity — political, financial and cultural — was forged in the iron

Who are the political geniuses who green-lighted President Joe Biden’s recent episode of agitprop? White House communicators labeled it "Remarks on Historic Deficit Reduction." It was really the Democrat Party’s script for the election’s closing weeks. As a Republican, I welcome the president’s 13-minute muddle of fabrication, misdirection, and self-delusion. However, I’m mystified that someone who’s been in politics for 52 years like Biden could be so tone-deaf, out-of-touch, and wrong in picking a closing argument for his party in a midterm where Democrats already face big hurdles. Biden offered two arguments on Friday, October 21 for voting Democrat. The first is that he’s done so many good things to
New York judge has struck down what it calls an "arbitrary and capricious" COVID-19 vaccine mandate for New York City workers, in a ruling that reinstates employees fired for not being vaccinated and entitles them to back pay.
"The petitioners should not have been terminated for choosing not to protect themselves," Richmond County Judge Ralph Porzio wrote in his ruling Monday, in response to the case filed by 16 New York City employees after they were fired for not taking the vaccine.
Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom’s 37-year-old ruler, has reportedly mocked President Biden in private while questioning his mental state, a move that could fracture U.S.-Saudi relations at a time when the partnership is being tested following a move by OPEC+ to cut oil production and harsh criticism of the regime by American lawmakers.
The Wall Street Journal reported that several people inside the Saudi government said the prince preferred former President Trump and has seemed unimpressed with Biden since his days as vice president while also making fun of his gaffes.

President Biden’s daycare minders in the White House had a project with high degree of difficulty to complete yesterday. They were required to put their heads together and come up with an explanation of Biden’s belief that Congress had enacted the student loan giveaway he promulgated by royal decree. You see, Biden doesn’t know what he is saying or doing.
How could his minders explain it? It wasn’t easy. Someone running the show slipped a note to Jacqui Heinrich of FOX News. Hey, he was thinking of the fraudulently titled Inflation Reduction Act when he referred to his loan giveaway. It could happen to anyone.
Everywhere I go, people are mystified about President Joe Biden's economic agenda. So few of the policies comport with basic common sense that I'm asked the same question over and over: Is Biden intentionally trying to take a wrecking ball to the economy?
Is this all part of some diabolical plan, the "great reset," to end our system of free market capitalism and replace it with some form of big government socialism?
Biden keeps saying that he wants to be a historic president who will "transition" the country into a new worker's paradise where no one uses fossil fuels or electricity or cars and equality is paramount, ahead of growth and prosperity.

"So, all across the country Democrat candidates, not candidates themselves, but the party, was putting money in primaries, into the races of extreme Trump-endorsed candidates, as opposed to the moderate Republicans that were running, because they wanted those extremists to win because they knew that the Dems had a better chance of winning their races against the extremist candidates than they did against the moderate Republicans," CORRECTION*
The first and only debate between John Fetterman and Mehmet Oz is happening Tuesday. Fetterman, a Democrat and the current Pennsylvania Lt.

Since he suffered a serious stroke, his ability to serve in the Senate has been called into question. All polls still show Fetterman ahead of Oz, though only just barely.
A New York Supreme Court judge on Monday struck down New York City’s vaccine mandate for all city workers, finding the rule to be unconstitutional, arbitrary, and capricious.

Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., expressed disbelief that "anybody" would vote for Republicans, in an interview with The New York Times on Monday. The paper pressed Pelosi on "troubling" data for Democrats this November. But Pelosi "rejected the suggestion that late-breaking trends seem to favor Republicans," according to The Times. 'Part of it is, I cannot believe anybody would vote for these people," she said, before bashing Republicans’ campaign strategy as "endless lying and endless money." In recent media interviews, the Democrat has spurned polls showing GOP-favored issues like the economy and crime are what voters care about the most.
Anti-Democracy Google is manipulating search results to bury Senate Republican candidates’ campaign websites before the 2022 midterm elections.

U.S. President Joe Biden has raised eyebrows for congratulating “Rashee Sanuk” for becoming Britain’s new Prime Minister.
The British public could have been left wondering if there had been yet another Prime Minister ousted on Tuesday after U.S. President Joe Biden brought it upon himself to congratulate “Rashee Sanuk” for ascending to the top elected position in the UK.

The first thing to note here is that you don’t have to “steal” something if you win it in the first place.
The tide has decidedly shifted against Democrats in the crucial midterm elections that are the first national referendum on their disastrous one-party rule since Joe Biden took over and the focus could soon shift to protecting their control of the White House with failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton taking the lead in pre-denying the results two years in advance.

Joe Biden is a pathological liar. That’s easy to prove. Just about every public statement that he’s made is an outright lie. His claims about his law school career and standing were false.

He’s spent 47 years stacking lie upon lie, building a colossal monument to his depravity and to the public’s gullibility.

Coincidentally, Sunak was chosen as the Tory leader in the British Parliament on the occasion of Diwali, the most important festival of the year for Hindus.
I have to wonder how George Zimmerman felt upon reading about the shooting death of Kansas City firefighter Anthony Santi, 41.
Ten years ago, after getting his head pounded into the concrete for a minute or more, Zimmerman famously shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Although Martin attacked the much smaller Zimmerman without provocation, and eyewitness evidence supported Zimmerman's claims of self-defense, the media and the woke mobs frightened state prosecutors into charging Zimmerman with second-degree murder and ruining his life.
Santi's shooter, by contrast, faces no consequences whatsoever, not even a review before a grand jury. According to the Kansas City Star, Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker,
A Russian court on Tuesday upheld American basketball star Brittney Griner's nine-year prison sentence for drug possession, rejecting her appeal in a session where she appeared via video call from a penal colony outside Moscow. Griner can still appeal to a higher court, but her lawyers have yet to confirm whether they will take the case further. The decision clears the way for the WNBA star to serve nine years in a penal colony, unless the U.S. government negotiates a deal. The eight-time all-star center with the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and a two-time Olympic gold medalist was convicted on August
Our exclusive 7NEWS/Emerson College poll shows the New Hampshire U.S. Senate race is a tight one, and it’s one that could determine the balance of power in the U.S. Senate. The poll of likely voters finds Democratic incumbent Senator Maggie Hassan leading Republican challenger Don Bolduc, 48% to 45%. Libertarian candidate Jeremy Kauffman is polling at 2%, while 4% of likely voters are undecided. With just two weeks away from the election, Sen. Hassan has just a 3% lead. Last month in our poll, the senator’s lead was eleven points. “Five weeks ago it looked like Hassan was in a
MSNBC legal analyst Barbara McQuade said Monday on “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump could be charged with manslaughter for his role in the January 6 Capitol riot.
Discussing Liz Cheney’s comments, Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “Let me ask you, I think what they’re saying is that even if you were that deluded, quote, ‘You may not send an armed mob to the Capitol or sit for 87 minutes and refuse to stop the attack. You may not send out a tweet that incites further violence.’ It sounds like around the violence. She’s looking at what the committee talks about as dereliction of duty.
Joe and Dr. Jill Biden on Monday participated in a tree-planting ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House.
The tree-planting ceremony was in honor of Dale Haney who has been a White House groundskeeper for the past 50 years.
Dr. Jill, Joe Biden and Dale Haney took a photo together after planting a tree.
Jill bossed her husband Joe around because he wasn’t paying attention to the photographer.
Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Xander was unable to explain why he preferred the scent of a Chuckie doll to most human contact but Frieda never judged him.
One of the more loathsome people to pollute the American political landscape in recent years is Georgia’s Stacey Abrams. Despite what the Democratic advocacy hacks in the mainstream media would have you believe, Abrams is the loudest and most vehement election denier in the land. She has been for four years now. Abrams has never once admitted to losing to Brian Kemp in the last Georgia gubernatorial election. She’s currently trailing the incumbent Kemp by double digits,
A number of Republican governors have vowed they won’t mandate COVID-19 vaccines for children despite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) voting to add the shot to the childhood immunization schedule.
The agency’s expert vaccine panel, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), voted unanimously to add the COVID-19 vaccine to the CDC immunization schedule for kids, which is used as a guide by many states to determine which inoculations to mandate for kids going to public schools.
Google first unleashed MUM to fight what it considered COVID "misinformation" by making sure that everyone saw "high quality and timely information from trusted health authorities like the World Health Organization". By reducing the number of sources to only those that agree with its agenda, Google is able to deliver fast results while getting rid of different points of view.
Google long ago ceased being a way to find different answers and its search results are deliberately repetitive. Search is an illusion. The user thinks that he's browsing the internet when he's actually spinning his wheels in Google's walled garden.
There is thinking inside the box.
Then there is living inside a bubble.
And then there is thinking inside a bubble which is in a box in a cage in the basement tucked behind the furnace with a giant sign “Beware of the Leopard!” draped across it (apologies to Douglas Adams.)
In politics – as in so many aspects of life – it’s always handy to know where your enemies are. In this case, the D.C. Democrats are right there, which is right where we want them.

My Black Uber Driver in Philly

I am writing this column in Burlington, Vermont. It is my seventh city in eight days. From my hometown of Los Angeles, I flew to Orlando, followed by Atlanta, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Chicago and now Burlington.
My Salem radio talk-show host colleagues and I went from city to city in "battleground" states to speak on the forthcoming elections -- specifically about how vital it is for the survival of America that the Left and its political party be defeated. (I went to Chicago and Burlington for other reasons.)
Two reflections: one from Philadelphia and the other from Chicago:

Incumbent Florida governor Ron DeSantis met his Democrat challenger Charlie Crist for their single scheduled debate ahead of November’s elections. While the media is pretending Crist performed ably, by any honest reckoning DeSantis not only showed up to do what he had to, he mopped the floor with his disgusting, cheap-shot opponent.
Tim Burton revealed his days working with Disney might be "done."
Burton, 64, opened up about the future of his career during the Lumière Festival in Lyon, France. The filmmaker revealed the only project he is about to embark on is Netflix's "Wednesday" — "The Addams Family" spin-off series.
During a press conference, Burton criticized Disney for becoming "very homogenized." The studio is only focused on the Marvel, Star Wars or Pixar films.
Many Americans were concerned last year that their Thanksgivings would not be celebrations of plenty but rather bitter experiences of want. This year, those fears have become a harsh reality in Joe Biden’s America, leaving one in four to say they will skip Thanksgiving in 2020 “to save money.”
In November 2021, with the country’s first Thanksgiving under Biden’s unsteady hand approaching, families were facing a holiday meal that was 14% more expensive than the year before. It was only a few months after the Joe from Scranton administration had bragged that a Fourth of July barbecue would cost a full 16 cents less than the year before.
Just yesterday, 30 left wing House Democrats led by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (Washington), chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, sent a letter to Joe Biden requesting him to pursue a diplomatic solution to the war in Ukraine. The letter was signed by the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Cori Bush (Mo.), Ro Khanna (Calif.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), and Reps. Jamie Raskin (Md.)
They called for economic and military support to Ukraine to be coupled with a diplomatic push and a direct engagement with Russia to find a solution "that is acceptable to the people of Ukraine”

President Biden looked lost in the woods during a tree-planting ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House on Monday when staffers needed to point him in the right direction.
The 79-year-old president and First Lady Jill Biden had just planted a tree in honor of groundskeeper Dale Haney’s 50 years of working at the White House.
The president then walked off into the garden before turning around and asking, “Where are we going?”
An electric vehicle fire led to a temporary closure of a highway west of Vermillion, South Dakota, last week. The EV’s battery burst into fire, turning the car into an unrecognizable mess after the blaze was eventually put out.
KELOLAND News, and news media outlet based in Sioux Falls, SD, reported:
The Vermillion Fire EMS Department says it happened on Highway 50 near the Business Route exit just after 4 o’clock Tuesday afternoon. Crews arriving on scene found a small car on fire with flames spreading into the ditch.
Because flames had reached the cars high-voltage battery, firefighters secured the area to wait for the battery to cool.
Here Comes the Democrat Rout

Students of military history understand that the real bloodletting starts when the losing side breaks ranks after its formations disintegrate and the cavalry sweeps in to mow down the fleeing survivors. It’s every man for himself, and the best the defeated individuals who were once part of cohesive units can hope for is not to end up one of the bodies left strewn across the battlefield. This is when the victor runs up the score. This is when the vast majority of casualties happen. This is a rout. And that’s pretty much where the Democrats are headed on November 8th, figuratively of course.
Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said Monday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the Democratic party needs to stop listening to “elite coastal people” who push identity politics.
Thursday on MSNBC, former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean said, “I’ll make this prediction right now. We’ll pick up two to three in the Senate and pick up the House. We will pick up seats in the House and not lose them.” Carville said, “I agree with you if we execute an obvious strategy that is right in front of us. But if we keep this kind of NPR foundation strategy of identity left politics, we’re going to lose.
We all know how this has played out. This summer Russia started monkeying with the natural gas supply to Germany and the rest of Europe, claiming there was some technical problem that required maintenance. Then they cut the gas off completely and not long after that someone blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. The result of all this has been a huge spike in energy prices in Europe and concern that there might not be enough gas to heat homes this winter.
But here we are in late October and the situation is looking very different. For one thing, Europe has mostly filled the underground gas storage tanks for the winter.
