Two men claiming they were Twitter data engineers recently let go under Elon Musk's reign may have been lying to the media.
The potential pranksters were spotted outside Twitter's San Francisco office Friday carrying cardboard boxes just a day after Musk took control of Twitter for the hefty ticket price of $44 billion and ousted its top executives.
One of the alleged employees identified themselves as a software engineer named "Rahul Ligma" during an interview with reporters outside, according to the Verge. However, the outlet confirmed that an employee by that name was not in Twitter’s Slack or email system and that there is no employee by that name
President Biden on Friday called the attack on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) husband at their San Francisco home “despicable” and suggested it was a natural progression from lies Republicans have spread about the 2020 election.
“This is despicable. There’s no place in America. There’s too much violence, political violence, too much hatred, too much vitriol,” Biden said at the start of remarks to Pennsylvania Democrats.“And what makes us think that one party can talk about stolen elections, COVID being a hoax, that it’s all a bunch of lies, and it not affect people who may not be so well balanced,” Biden continued.
“What makes us think that it’s not going to
Left-wing Twitter users had a collective meltdown on Thursday and Friday after Tesla CEO Elon Musk officially completed his takeover of the social media platform and promptly fired top left-wing executives at the company.
After officially becoming the owner of Twitter, Musk fired top executives, such as CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, and Vijaya Gadde, head of “trust and safety,” who was notorious for her fanatical left-wing censorship campaign, which included suspending former President Donald Trump’s account. Musk also had Tesla engineers review Twitter’s software code and locked out Twitter engineers, preventing them from making any further changes to the platform.

Republican celebrity heart surgeon and former TV talk show host Dr. Mehmet Oz has surged past Democratic Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman in a pair of Senate race polls taken since the candidates squared off in a much-watched debate earlier this week. The latest survey, released by Wick Insights Friday morning, showed Oz with 47.6% support, with Fetterman trailing on 45.9%. Another 3.6% said they’d vote for a third party candidate and 2.9% said they were still undecided. (Snip) The results echo an Insider Advantage poll taken the day after the debate. In that survey, Oz led Fetterman by 47.5%

‘selective enforcement’ against red
states, watchdog warns replies
The Justice Department this week outlined the steps it will take on Election Day to ensure a fair election process, but a government watchdog is warning that the plan leaves out critical details that open the door to selective enforcement against red states.
The Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) said the lack of detail in the DOJ announcement likely means "selective transparency and selective enforcement, something we've come to expect from the Biden administration's two-tiered approach to justice."
The Justice Department released a summary of its "comprehensive" Election Day plan Wednesday and said it is aimed at ensuring that "all qualified voters have the opportunity to cast their ballots and
At least six people were shot after gunfire erupted outside a funeral in the Brighton Heights neighborhood of Pittsburgh Friday, police said.
Pittsburgh Police Commander Richard Ford told reporters one victim was in critical condition and five others were stable after a shooting outside of Destiny of Faith Church at approximately 12:04 p.m.
"At this time, we don't have any information regarding suspects that we are going to release," Ford said at a news conference.
He added there "most likely" is more than one suspect.
SAN FRANCISCO - The alleged home intruder who attacked 82-year-old Paul Pelosi early Friday holds anti-government conspiracy theories, according to sources.
Sources told KTVU that authorities found a manifesto belonging to 42-year-old David DePape that contained conspiracy theories and anti-government COVID beliefs. He also allegedly had a list of other politicians he planned to target.(snip)Paul Pelosi suffered a fractured skull and "serious injuries to his right arm and hands," according to Drew Hammill, spokesman for the House speaker,
He underwent a surgery at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital that was successful, Hammill said.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is heading to Long Island on Saturday to stump for Lee Zeldin, the first of several big names showing up across New York to join gubernatorial candidates in the final days leading up to Election Day on Nov. 8, The Post has learned.
The Sunshine State governor will join Zeldin for a free “Get Out the Vote” rally on the first day of early voting at the Long Island representative’s campaign headquarters in Hauppauge, Suffolk County, at 7:30 p.m.
“I do have to say, New York, we may elect, I think we will elect a Republican Governor Lee Zeldin,”DeSantis said Thursday night on Fox News.
In Thomasville, Georgia, parents are furious over a local library featuring in its kids’ section the queer manifesto “All Boys Aren’t Blue” and what is described as a pornographic sexuality guide called “It’s Perfectly Normal.”
Several books are being protested after parents discovered much to their collective horror that they were being provided by the library, according to the Daily Mail.
Aside from “All Boys Aren’t Blue” and “It’s Perfectly Normal,” the library is also promoting “Beyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak Out.” Another book deemed as offensive is “The Hate U Give,” which delves into police brutality against black youths and teenagers.
As reported earlier, according to sources close to the investigation, Paul Pelosi’s attacker is 42-year-old Berkeley resident David Depape, The San Francisco Standard reported. (Snip) According to NBC News, Paul Pelosi was taken to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital where he underwent brain surgery.
Mr. Pelosi is reportedly in stable condition.
The attack reportedly took place after 2 AM.
And David Depape was in his underwear when the police arrived.
The Biden administration is under fire for spending more than $20,000 in taxpayer dollars to fund drag shows in Ecuador.
House Republicans are demanding answers from the State Department over a September decision to approve a $20,600 grant to Ecuador’s Abraham Lincoln North American Cultural Center. The grant is for the center to provide three workshops, 13 drag performances and the creation of a two-minute documentary.
The man who allegedly attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer has been named as David DePape by the San Francisco Police Department.
The 42-year-old is believed to have entered the Pelosi home through its rear and shouted, “Where’s Nancy?,” looking for the Democratic speaker of the House, who was in Washington, DC, at the time.
DePape is then said to have attempted to tie Paul up, saying they were going to wait “until Nancy got home,” according to CNN.
San Francisco Police Chief William “Bill” Scott said officers were dispatched to the Pelosi residence in the Pacific Heights neighborhood at 2:27 a.m. Friday, where they encountered

It’s all hands on deck to save Democrat Pennsylvania Senate hopeful John Fetterman from himself after his historic implosion during Tuesday’s debate with his GOP rival Dr. Mehmet Oz and the party’s propagandists are frantically trying to put Humpty Dumpty back together again to mitigate the damage.
Fetterman’s performance was a nightmare scenario for the party and the corrupt, partisan media is pulling out all stops to spin the debacle with the narrative now being pushed that the hulking lieutenant governor’s inability to form coherent thoughts and sentences despite having a closed captioning system provided to him was a heroic effort due to his being a stroke survivor,

Alaska Senate Debate replies
Republican Kelly Tshibaka attacked RINO Sen. Lisa Murkowski for being backed by “dark money” from Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Tshibaka first reminded Lisa Murkowski that she warned voters when she launched her campaign that outsiders in the Lower 48 would be seeking “to try to grab the Alaska Senate seat for their Partisan agendas.” As it turns out, the Lower 48 outsiders have overwhelmingly backed Murkowski.
“A year later, Lower 48 and Washington, DC, dark money have spent more on your behalf than both of our campaigns have spent combined.
11:24 AM PT -- TMZ has obtained a copy of the divorce filings. As we reported, the docs say both Tom and Gisele say their marriage was "irretrievably broken." The property settlement and custody agreement remain confidential. What's interesting ... the docs include 2 certificates, showing both Tom and Gisele successfully completed a "Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course." The docs say both Tom and Gisele are "restored to the status of being single and unmarried" -- per the judge.
Chief Bill Scott of the San Francisco Police Department on Friday identified the suspect in the attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) husband as 42-year-old David DePape.
“At approximately 2:27 this morning, San Francisco police officers were dispatched to the residence of Speaker Nancy Pelosi regarding a priority well-being check. When the officers arrived on scene, they encountered an adult male and Mrs. Pelosi’s husband, Paul,” Scott said during a press conference.
“Our officers observed Mr. Pelosi and the suspect both holding a hammer. The suspect pulled the hammer away from Mr. Pelosi and violently assaulted him with it.
We should hope so. Democracy is mob rule. Democracy is rule by majority. We do not have a direct democracy. We never had one. America was never set up for that. We have a representative republic, where the representatives we voters choose make the decisions as to what legislation to approve or disapprove, according to what we want. That necessitates that our representatives actually ask us now and then what we want instead of voting how they want without our input. Elementary civics lesson over.

Breaking update: Sources are telling many reporters that the attacker allegedly was screaming “Where is Nancy!” when Paul Pelosi was confronted and attacked in the couple’s San Francisco home). Nancy Pelosi was in DC according to her office. The assailant reportedly was trying to tie up Paul Pelosi “until Nancy got home.” The man who beat Paul Pelosi with a hammer was targeting the Speaker, demanding to know “Where’s Nancy?” He broke in through a sliding glass door. Law enforcement sources say the attack was politically motivated.”
The stunning and brave decision of Liz Cheney to back a Democrat extends the tradition of the Trump-afflicted spurning conservatives.
Word has come out that the exiled Liz Cheney has lent her support to a candidate for the upcoming midterm election. Elissa Slotkin in Michigan has excitedly announced Liz will appear on her behalf on Tuesday. She might want to rethink this “big news”, as far as her campaign is concerned.
Cheney has been roundly booted from her post as a Republican representative of Wyoming, a thorough repudiation as she was an incumbent who suffered the worst primary defeat seen in generations.
In its 2016 Thirteenth Five-Year Plan, the Chinese Communist Party mandated the fusion of civilian and military research.
In a 2021 Gateway Pundit article, I described the three levels of China’s biowarfare program. There is a core secret military level consisting of military research centers and hospitals.
The core layer is supervised by the Academy of Military Medical Sciences in coordination with so-called “civilian” entities, such as the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and the Chinese Center for Disease Control.
Layered on top of the core level are China’s universities, civilian research institutions, like the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and medical companies.
Amid the finalization of Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, former president Trump, who was permanently banned from the platform in January 2021, said he will be staying on Truth Social, the social media company he created, even if his old account gets reinstated.
He called Truth a “better” and “safe” alternative to Twitter that feels “like home” in an interview with Fox News Friday. Trump applauded Musk for buying Twitter, saying: “I like Elon and I wish him a lot of luck. I hope he does well with it.”
Acknowledging the influence he once commanded on the site, Trump said, “I don’t think Twitter can be successful without me.”
It’s official. Rishi Sunak is the new prime minister of Great Britain. (Snip) But what about those who come to Jihad Watch, who want to know not so much about his economic plans as his views on Islam, Muslims, and Israel?
The first thing to note is that Sunak is not just Hindu by descent, but a seriously practicing Hindu. He chose to be sworn in as an MP on a copy of the Bhagavad Gita. As a practicing Hindu, and a well-educated man, he cannot help but know what the Muslim invasion and conquest of much of India meant for its indigenous Hindu inhabitants.
In case you’ve been blissfully living under a rock and off the grid, you probably know by now that billionaire businessman Elon Musk is the brand-spanking-new owner of the notorious social media cesspool that is Twitter. The self-proclaimed “Chief Twit” Musk is reportedly set to officially close the deal on Friday, which left many leftist Twitter users and employees on Thursday night in fits of apprehensive whining hysteria the likes of which we’ve not seen since Election Night 2016. And it was glorious.
Jerry Lee Lewis, the rock ’n’ roll trailblazer and piano virtuoso who electrified audiences with his raucous, free-wheeling performances but attracted scandal after he married his 13-year-old cousin, died Friday, his publicist said.
He was 87. Lewis was a consummate showman who gleefully blended the styles of Black rhythm-and-blues musicians, country crooners and ecstatic Pentecostal preachers. He was nicknamed “the Killer,” and his admirers believed he could be the next Elvis Presley.
The first British coins featuring the likeness of King Charles III are being minted. The 50 pence coin is to be struck at The Royal Mint in Wales.
The image on the coin was created by sculptor Martin Jennings, who said he spent months on crafting the image using photos of King Charles III from his 70th birthday.
"It has to be an exact portrait but also that says something about the lasting values of the institution he represents," Jennings said. "In subtle and tiny ways, you can put these things across."
The king's coin image won't include a crown
The Internal Revenue Service announced Friday it has hired 4,000 new "customer service representatives" to help answer phones and provide other services to U.S. taxpayers.
The IRS said the hirings are part of a much wider improvement effort tied to funding from the Biden administration Inflation Reduction Act.
"Our phone lines have been simply overwhelmed during the pandemic, and we have been unable to provide the help that IRS employees want to give and that the nation's taxpayers deserve. But help is on the way for taxpayers," said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig in a statement. "As the newly hired employees are trained and move online in 2023, we will have more assistors
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough bought the propaganda from an October 26, 2022, New York Times anti-gun piece, tweeting unfounded criticism of Gov. Greg Abbott (R) as a result.
On October 26, 2022, the NYT ran an article titled, “Texas Goes Permitless on Guns, and Police Face an Armed Public.”
The gist of the piece asserted Texas has become more dangerous because of permitless carry, i.e., constitutional carry. However, the text of the article contains information from various sources that actually counter that claim.
Although the NYT article states it has been a year since Texas adopted constitutional carry, it is written in a way that someone could read it and assume
Beginning in fiscal year 2023, the Department of Energy will require applicants for research funding to explain how their research projects will incorporate the tenets of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are demanding that the Biden administration preserve documents related to the ongoing crisis at the southern border -- as Republicans lay the groundwork for investigations and hearings on the matter in the next Congress. Reps. Jim Jordan, the ranking member, and Tom McClintock, the ranking member of the immigration subcommittee, wrote to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding the agencies preserve documents and materials related to border security.
"Committee Republicans intend to continue our oversight of the causes and consequences of the unprecedented Biden border crisis into the 118th Congress,"
The liberal New York Times has a popular podcast simply called “The Daily,” and unsurprisingly, it airs on nearly 300 taxpayer-funded National Public Radio stations across America. Host Michael Barbaro is so soft-spoken you could argue he is the anti-Limbaugh. But that does not mean he’s always calm and reasonable.
On October 20, Barbaro brought on Times polling analyst Nate Cohn to discuss how the latest Times/Siena College poll contained ominous news for Democrats. The show began as a straightforward analysis of how Democrats grew optimistic about maintaining their control of Congress because the top issues were abortion, gun violence, and the January 6 Committee (aka “democracy”).
The Edinburgh Evening News is reporting that the UK government has developed its plans for dealing with the energy crisis this winter, and it is reminiscent of the rationing from World War II. It has been known for quite a while that rationing was likely, but the plans for how to implement it have been finalized.
Britons should prepare to lose electricity to their home for as little as 9 hours a week (in 3 hour time blocks) to as much as 45 hours a week (15 three hour time blocks). In the worst case the grid could shut down entirely, providing electricity to only emergency services and other vital industries.
The wife of Democratic Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman claimed “swimming in America is very racist” — as she likened her husband’s use of closed captioning to turning up the brightness on a smartphone. “Historically, swimming in America is very racist, and usually when you look at drowning statistics, it usually affects children of color, because of lack of access,” Gisele Fetterman said on the iGen politics podcast on Thursday. Gisele made the comments while discussing how she and her husband, Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor, had decided not to move into the state-owned mansion in Harrisburg but made the pool accessible
Ahead of the high-stakes 2022 midterm elections, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA), one of the largest grassroots conservative organizations in the country, has been teaching thousands of Americans about election integrity and civic participation.
The organization has reportedly trained more than 7,500 people in its election integrity program, along with organizing a multi-state campaign to recruit and train people to be poll workers and poll watchers.
Jenny Beth Martin, honorary chair of Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA), told the Washington Times that thousands of volunteers across the country have been “trained on working to clean states’ voter rolls, understanding changes in election equipment, and

Having successfully acquired Twitter after months of legal quagmires, Elon Musk now plans to reverse lifetime bans for Twitter users who were kicked off the platform for various speech infractions.
The tech titan doesn’t believe in barring an individual from the social-media site for life, a source told Bloomberg. Twitter has permanently removed a number of political personalities, many of whom are considered right-wing internet provocateurs or conspiracy theorists. They include Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, Project Veritas Founder James O’Keefe, Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, and most significantly, former president Trump.
Joe Biden can’t tell the truth. This is nothing new though, he’s always been this way. He could get away with these lies before the Internet and social media were a thing. If Joe told a lie back in 1992, someone would have to go to the library and use the microfiche to try and find an article to debunk what he said, and then what would they do with it? Call a few friends and tell them? This is why Joe is so used to lying and why he did it for so much of his career.

Former President Trump on Friday welcomed Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, but did not commit to returning to the platform if Musk lifts the ban on his account.“I am very happy that Twitter is now in sane hands, and will no longer be run by Radical Left Lunatics and Maniacs that truly hate our country,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, his own social media platform that he’s been using for much of this year.
“Twitter must now work hard to rid itself of all of the bots and fake accounts that have hurt it so badly. It will be much smaller, but better. I LOVE TRUTH!”
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, was issued a nearly $25 million fine on Wednesday for violating the state of Washington's campaign finance laws.
Meta was found to be in violation of Washington's political disclosure law 822 separate times between 2019 and 2021, according to court documents. King County Superior Court Judge Douglass North issued the maximum possible fine for each instance, totaling up to $30,000 per violation.

Election day is two weeks away, and the Left is freaking out about losses among minority voters such as Blacks, once a reliable base of support. The signs of the freakout are everywhere, but especially in the desperate, wacky, and downright insulting tactics they are currently employing to lure, nudge, and shame Blacks into voting for liberal candidates. Let's start with the insulting. MSNBC host Tiffany Cross slammed the Republican National Committee's slate of "diverse" Republican congressional candidates, saying "faces of color do not always equate to voices of color." She then tokenized minority Republicans, including those currently serving in Congress
A new EWTN News/RealClear Opinion Research survey published Tuesday found Joe Biden is facing strong disapproval from Catholic voters in six battleground states, with large majorities stating the economy is the most pressing issue in the 2022 midterm elections.

At newspapers, obituaries are typically written in advance.
The Washington Post had plenty to work with when the death of Lucianne Goldberg happened, but instead of remembering good, or at least balancing their summary, they selectively chose to remember the great muse of the right, Internet pioneer, and accomplished woman from a time when women weren't allowed much accomplishment, by printing only cherry-picked tales of dubious sourcing that made her look phony.
It was garbage. It stood in stark contrast to the insightful and warm-hearted tweets that overwhelmingly were the consensus on Twitter, from wildly different parts of the Internet spectrum.
New Twitter CEO Elon Musk fired Twitter’s top lawyer Vijaya Gadde — head of legal policy, trust, and safety — immediately after taking over the social media company Thursday evening.
The Daily Mail reported earlier this year that Gadde “played a key role in the contentious decisions to ban Donald Trump and suppress news articles about Hunter Biden’s laptop.”
Politico reported earlier this year that after news broke in April that Musk would be buying the platform, “Gadde cried during [a] meeting as she expressed concerns about how the company could change.”

Hobbs, who is currently Arizona's secretary of state, had a check by her number, indicating she was the victor.

In a clumsy effort to hide the latest and altogether shocking data on illegal border crossings, the Department of Homeland Security released its latest report in the dead of night last Friday. Not that it mattered, since the mainstream press wouldn’t have covered it no matter what. But in this case, the numbers are shocking. The reality is even more shocking.
DHS’s Customs and Border Protection agency finally, after basically being forced into it, reported that it had “encountered” almost 2.8 million illegal border crossers in the past fiscal year (which ended Sept. 30). That’s up from 1.9 million last

Democrat Katie Hobbs, Arizona secretary of state and gubernatorial candidate, was quick to amplify claims that “dangerous misinformation” from her Republican opponent Kari Lake was connected to a break-in at her office this week. Police have now reportedly arrested a suspect and confirmed the break-in had no political motivation, so Hobbs did what any self-respecting Democrat political candidate would do — she refused to discuss the new development or her former accusations.
“AFTER accusing my team of coordinating a Watergate-style break-in of her office, Katie Hobbs has now flip-flopped and DOES NOT want to talk about the crime,” Kari Lake tweeted Thursday.
Benjamin Franklin was a man of great wisdom, but he was mistaken when he opined that nothing is certain except death and taxes. Equally inevitable is the biennial Democratic attempt to frighten elderly voters by claiming the Republicans are plotting to destroy Social Security and Medicare. This year the Democrats are particularly desperate. Thus, they have been flogging this shopworn conspiracy theory even more frantically than usual as Nov. 8 draws nigh.
New York Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul this week encouraged parents to remask their toddlers to protect them from RSV (respiratory syncytial virus), contending that children are “more socialized to the idea of wearing a mask” anyway.
“Let’s talk about exactly what RSV is. These are the symptoms. I want parents be aware of that, usually fall and winter. It’s like a common cold, but it does hit younger children and it’s really frightening,” Hochul stated. “It’s not new at all. Something we’ve seen before.”
“Infants as young as six months old have been known to contract this. It’s hard to keep kids safe.

Despite the lunacy of gun grabbers like embattled New York Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul, who recently declared, there’s “no such thing as a good guy with a gun,” facts belie the idiocy of the Second-Amendment-threatening claim, from clueless Joe Biden, and on down the Democrat totem pole.

Twelve days before the election, Democrats have yet to lose the House or Senate, or confront the dire, your-lab-results-are-back-and-the-doctor-needs-to-see-you implications for a progressive agenda.
Plenty of prominent party voices, however, believe it’s best to prepare in advance. It is one of the more notable features of the 2022 midterms — the readiness to perform an autopsy on a living patient. Many Democrats believe there is already sufficient evidence to make the question unavoidable: What the hell is our problem?
Elon Musk became Twitter Inc's (TWTR.N) owner on Thursday, firing top executives and providing little clarity over how he will achieve the lofty ambitions he has outlined for the influential social media platform.
"The bird is freed," he tweeted, referencing Twitter's bird logo in an apparent nod to his desire to see the company have fewer limits on content that can be posted. The CEO of electric car maker Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) has, however, also said he wants to prevent the platform from becoming an echo chamber for hate and division. Other goals include wanting to "defeat" spam bots on Twitter and make the algorithms
A Twitter user going by the name HoneyBadgerMom saw an ad for a child drag show at a local bar called Old Nick’s Pub near her home in Oregon and got concerned. She started researching the child who goes by the drag name “Vanellope Craving MacPherson DuPont.” HoneyBadgerMom, whose name is Chelly, started researching the drag shows that advertised Vanellope as a performer and found many troubling things, including the fact that one of the child’s “drag moms” was arrested for allegedly making and distributing child pornography.
Chelly started tweeting her findings about the possible child endangerment going on in Nick’s Pub.

The US dollar is flying high. For much of the world this is a tragedy, as currencies around the globe depreciate and economies come under strain as a result. But it's not just non-US citizens, businesses and governments that are feeling the pain.
Some American businesses are also feeling headwinds on their revenues from the surging greenback. While American tourists relish their cheap holidays in the UK and Japan, and importers enjoy cheaper goods from abroad, US exporters and businesses with international operations are experiencing losses as their products and services become too expensive for foreign buyers.
Former President Trump aimed at President Joe Biden while teeing off at the controversial LIV Golf event in Florida.
After taking a few good shots on the course, Trump called out Biden’s less-than-capable ability to play golf, let alone run the country.
“Do you think Biden could do that?" Trump asked, adding “I don't think so, I don't think so.”
Wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat, Trump was asked what he thought of the LIV Golf tour being financially backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, to which he replied saying “very good… it’s doing great. I mean, it's doing great. Unlimited money.”

Who Voted To Block 2020 Election Certification replies
In the wake of January 6th, many corporations stopped donating to Republicans who voted to block the certification of the 2020 election.
One of those companies was Amazon.
CNN reported:
Amazon (AMZN): Amazon (AMZN) said Monday it will withhold future political contributions from US lawmakers who voted against certifying the 2020 election results.“The Amazon PAC gives to congressional candidates on a bipartisan basis based upon the interest of our customers and our employees,” an Amazon spokesperson said.
Hat tip to Jeff B who called this poll a sign of a “Biblical-level event” on Twitter. The whole poll is just bad news for Democrats, starting with the generic ballot numbers. On a generic ballot, one naming parties but not individual candidates, those surveyed now support the Republican congressional candidate over the Democratic one by 49%-45%, a turnaround since the USA TODAY poll taken in July, when Democrats led 44%-40%. The findings stoke GOP hopes of gaining control of the House of Representatives in the Nov. 8 elections, and with that, new powers to confront the Democratic White House.

SYRACUSE — President Biden traveled upstate Thursday in a last-minute bid to boost the struggling campaigns of Gov. Kathy Hochul and other New York Democrats — by accusing Republicans of “hoping for a recession” and botching key stats about the economy.
Normally among the bluest of deep-blue states, New York could elect a GOP chief executive for the first time in 20 years Nov. 8 in the form of Long Island Rep. Lee Zeldin.
The RealClearPolitics average of recent polls showing Hochul beating Zeldin by just 6.1%, despite Biden carrying the Empire State by more than 23 percentage points two years ago.
Trump-Endorsed Arizona Gubernatorial Nominee Kari Lake held a press conference today after she was framed for facilitating a break-in and petty theft at Katie Hobbs’ campaign HQ.
Lake slammed Fake News Media outlets for being an “arm of the Democratic Party” and gave a lesson on how fake news is created.
Nearly all of Katie Hobbs’ liberal media allies were in attendance.
Trump-Endorsed Arizona Attorney General Nominee Abe Hamadeh also commented on the Fake News Media’s biased coverage, saying, “you guys are playing cover for the Democratic Party, and you guys have become propagandists.”
Export, Pennsylvania — For the first time in this election cycle, most of the people sitting around the restaurant bar casually watching the debate saw the depth of the effects of the stroke Lt. Gov. John Fetterman suffered in May when he began the debate Tuesday evening with a “good night” as his opening greeting.
It only got worse from there.
For 60 painful minutes, the York native and Harvard graduate, who had made his home in Western Pennsylvania for the last 20 years, struggled vividly with cognitive issues in handling the simplest of questions tossed his way during the debate.
Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple offered a mea culpa for not defending ex-New York Times opinion editor James Bennet amid the uproar over the now-infamous Tom Cotton op-ed. Bennet recently spoke out for the first time since his ousting in June 2020. Regarding Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger, he told Semafor, "None of that mattered, and none of it mattered to AG. When push came to shove at the end, he set me on fire and threw me in the garbage and used my reverence for the institution against me… This is why I was so bewildered for so long after I had what felt like all my colleagues
