In Sports Ballot Issues As Key To Midterm Success 9 replies
Ballot initiatives across multiple states protecting women's sports could prove to be a turnout driver for Republicans in November, as polling shows the issue is overwhelmingly favorable across all political stripes. "In the off-year elections, turnout is so critical, and our polling shows that we're in the 90s (%) amongst Republicans, within the high 80s (%) being strongly in favor. So if you're looking for an issue that our baase voters are going to say, 'I've got to get to the polls for this,' this is the issue." Tom Mooney, who is a general consultant to campaigns for such ballot initiatives, told Just the News.
Nearly two years after the Supreme Court killed free speech, in the telling of future National Institutes of Health Director Jay Battacharya, by letting the Biden administration resume pressuring tech platforms to censor disfavored narratives on COVID-19, elections and Hunter Biden, the Trump administration has made the plaintiff's wildest dreams come true. U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty, who imposed the sweeping preliminary injunction on the feds before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals narrowed it and SCOTUS lifted it for lack of legal standing, approved a consent decree Wednesday that he'll oversee for the next 10 years, constraining the current and next two administrations.

The American Land Rescue Fund (ALRF) has been raising concerns about a solar project on critical bird habitat (snip).

The company argued that the information was proprietary and could be legally withheld (snip.) Alex Fasulo, president of the ALRF, decided to hire independent ecologists to perform an assessment of the project's impact. The report the ecologists produced shocked her. (snip) The state and developer are now fighting to get the report excluded from the public record, arguing that it was filed past the period allowed for public input.

This marks a significant shift from the practice followed for decades (snip.)
This week we learned that the probe into the Russian conspiracy theory in Florida is moving forward with the disclosure that former FBI Director James Comey has been subpoenaed. What is different in this probe is that it is pursuing the real Russia conspiracy -- the creation of a narrative to kneecap the first Trump administration. Headed by (snip) the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, the investigation is building on information uncovered by House and Senate committee that was buried by the Biden administration. That evidence appears to show a knowing effort to manufacture a Russian conspiracy hoax at the urging of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.

In reports picked up by left-leaning outlets such as the Daily Beast and New Republic, Vatican-oriented freelance journalist Christopher Hale has tweeted that President Obama's chief strategist, David Axelrod, has met in a private audience with Pope Leo XIV. Axelrod, really?
What kind of message does that send? The pope has declined an offer to visit the U.S. for its 250th anniversary in favor of a trip to visit the illegal migrants on Lampedusa (which might bring him an unexpected round of protests from angry locals sick of being robbed and raped by them) on the grounds that he doesn't want any trip to be political.
Hunter Biden has reportedly fled the US and is $17 million in debt.
Why doesn’t Hunter Biden just sell a few pieces of his highly coveted art? Don’t each one of Hunter Biden’s art pieces cost more than a Degas?
It is unclear where Hunter Biden is currently residing; however, last March, he was spotted out and about with his wife in South Africa.
Hunter’s wife, Melissa Cohen, is from South Africa. Last year, Laura Loomer obtained photos of Hunter Biden, his second wife, Melissa Cohen, and their toddler son, Beau, on a lavish vacation in Cape Town, South Africa, with US Secret Service agents in tow.
A former staffer of Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading Democratic candidate for California governor, says that the congressman raped her when she was heavily intoxicated and left her bruised and bleeding, an allegation Swalwell strongly denies. (Snip) Three other women who spoke with CNN also alleged various kinds of sexual misconduct by the Democratic congressman – including Swalwell sending them unsolicited explicit messages or nude photos. One woman who connected online with Swalwell over her interest in Democratic politics says she ended up extremely drunk inside his hotel room after a night out with the congressman, with little memory of what
Vice President JD Vance said the US and Iran failed to strike a peace deal to end the six-week war rocking the Middle East, blaming Tehran’s refusal to give up its nuclear ambitions — leaving uncertainty over whether fighting will resume.
Vance delivered the quick-hit update after 21 hours of grueling negotiations in Pakistan, noting meaningful discussions were held with Iran but none that brokered a deal on terms laid out by the US.
“The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement,” Vance told reporters in Islamabad.
“And I think that’s bad news for Iran much more than it’s bad news for the United States of America.
As is so often the case, the greatest threat to any institution comes from within. Currently, a Groyper movement—that is, a movement built on mindless isolationism, hardcore antisemitism, coy pro-Naziism and Islamism, huge pockets of misogyny, and a barely hidden dislike for America—is trying to co-opt MAGA and the Republican Party. Its leaders are podcast hosts Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones, all of whom once claimed to be straight-talking conservatives. Now, they just engage in crazy talk.

A federal appeals court said Saturday that President Donald Trump can move ahead for another week with construction of a massive new White House ballroom while judges consider the project.
The 2-1 order from the DC Circuit Court of Appeals is a temporary win for Trump in a protracted legal fight over whether he has the authority to build the ballroom on the site of the former East Wing without express approval from Congress.
The appeals court said work on the project can continue until at least April 17.
Iran threatened to attack any US Navy ships that enter the Strait of Hormuz shortly after American vessels moved through the channel for the first time since the war broke out.
Tehran warned Pakistani mediators that “if the vessel continues to move, it will be targeted within 30 minutes, and the Iranian-American negotiations will suffer,” a Foreign Ministry spokesperson told Khabar Network, according to Fars News Agency.
The warning comes just after reports broke that “multiple” US vessels had crossed the strait for the first time in months in a move that “was not coordinated with Iran.”
You have to remember how close they are in all their collaborative efforts in order to truly appreciate the level of disingenuous gaslighting present in this effort to create distance.
Throughout Spygate, Russiagate and all the impeachment nonsense, Adam Schiff was Batman to Eric Swalwell’s Robin. They were/are peas and carrots, partners in every sense of the word.
Schiff and Swalwell organized together, planned and conducted media hits together, schemed together, shared the same staff together and were fundamentally side-by-side in everything. However, now that Swalwell’s perverted zipper problems and rape tendencies have become the talk of California and Washington, DC, Schiff retracts:
It took 21 hours for the American negotiators in Islamabad to confirm what we’ve known about the regime in Iran for the last 47 years. The IRGC won’t ever negotiate in good faith.
And this time, even J.D. Vance had enough. In a presser from Islamabad, the Vice President announced he would withdraw from talks after the Iranian regime refused to come off of their list of demands. Vance told reporters that he left our “best offer” on the table and said it would be up to Iran to figure it out. As Hugh Hewitt commented on X, it’s a replay of the Reykjavik conference between Ronald Reagan

Easter massacre of Nigerian Christians

"Monty Python" actor John Cleese warned this week that the world has failed to live up to the ideal of saying "Black lives matter" when it ignores anti-Christian terrorism in Nigeria. Numerous news sources around the world, including The Associated Press, reported that according to local military and officials, at least 26 people were killed in three separate Easter attacks in northern Nigeria. This has caused multiple prominent commentators to not only criticize the terrorism rife in the region, but the silence of the international community that they argue is politically-motivated. "It looks rather as though Black Lives Don't Matter," Cleese lamented

The real issue here is the Democrat establishment's desire to prematurely narrow the field of Democrat candidates so that neither Republican (Hilton or Bianco) appears on the November ballot. Most Californians have yet to focus on the June 2 primary election, yet USC proposed to anoint four Democrats and exclude three candidates largely on the basis of notoriety purchased with large amounts of campaign cash. (Mahan, the establishment's "great 'moderate' hope", like the excluded candidates polls only in the single digits but was included solely based on his large campaign war-chest.) The whole purpose of debates is to even the playing field between well and poorly funded candidates and give merit a chance to shine. Significantly, the three excluded candidates include a former mayor of California's largest city (Villagairosa) and the only two candidates in the race who have won and held significant statewide elective offices (Yee and Thurmond). The real culprit is California's Jungle Primary, a hangover from Schwarzenegger era.
