It amazes me how easily we are gaslit about voter fraud. Or should I say, how easily Democrats are gaslit about voter fraud, since by now most Republicans are cynical enough to expect it.
I was struck on Tuesday night by how many Republicans confidently predicted that Spencer Pratt's seemingly insurmountable lead over Nithya Raman in the Los Angeles mayor's primary would evaporate as the votes were dumped in batches over the ensuing weeks, and their cynicism, it seems, will be rewarded.
California doesn't have election days. It has election weeks that begin well before election day and extend well after election night. It will turn out, remarkably, that

On the whole, it’s been a good week. It’s not every week that serves up the kind of supreme schadenfreudey goodness that comes from the firing of the pompous CBS News blowhard Scott Pelley, with more to follow. Less noticed was that NPR laid off most of its climate change reporters this week, too. If NPR is giving up on the climate crusade, it is well and truly over. The strong showing of Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt (fingers crossed about those “late” votes) is also cheering, though it will still be an uphill fight to November. England continues to spiral down the drain, but after their George Floyd-in-reverse moment,

With President Donald Trump’s approval rating underwater by over seventeen points and the GOP facing criticism over inflation and the Iran war in a critical midterm election, we would expect swing voters to be flocking to Democrats. Despite inflation and the Iran war creating strong headwinds for Republicans leading into November, Latino voters are fleeing from the Democratic Party, showing a twenty-point collapse since 2022 and a thirty-point collapse since 2018.
In 2022, Democrat Congressional candidates won Hispanics 60 percent to 39 percent according to NBC News exit polls. In 2018, Democrats won a full 69 percent of Latinos and Republicans won 29 percent according to CNN exit polls.

The woke mind virus infection began spreading sometime in the early 2000s, but didn't reach pandemic levels until the late Obama years. It was, metaphorically, engineered in American and European university labs to infect ordinary people through diffusion in schools and universities, and became pandemic in the Summer of Floyd, alongside the similarly engineered COVID virus.
The mind virus was intentionally spread, while COVID was almost certainly a lab leak, but both are equally artificial, and both have caused incalculable damage to the economies, social trust, and people. And they will remain endemic well into the future.

So, a late-night ballot drop in Los Angeles appears to have changed the dynamics of the midterm election.
But, hey, the state might be counting for days or weeks yet, so let’s not jump to conclusions, right?
Sure, Florida can count 10 million ballots in one day and evening, as can many other states and nations, and Florida has mail balloting, too, but California Democrats say that the reason it takes the erstwhile Golden State so long to tally its votes is because they want to make sure every vote is counted.
It’s about “our democracy,” you see.
Well, they want to make sure every illegal ballot is counted, that is for sure.

Liberals like to denounce the rest of us as racists, but the truth is that they are the ones who are obsessed with race. This is a classic example: “BBC apologises for misquoting Farage on Nowak murder.”
The BBC has apologised to Nigel Farage after one of its presenters misquoted his comments about the killing of Henry Nowak.
During Tuesday’s Newsnight programme, Matt Chorley, the presenter, said that the Reform UK leader had told the public to respond to the murder with “white cold rage”, when he had said “pure cold rage”.
Reform argued that this implied a racial element to what Mr Farage had said and changed his meaning.
Of course it did.

When you are passing judgments on individuals regarding their character, it is not right to judge them based on their immutable characteristics as part of a group.
We judge individuals based on who they are and what they do.
On the other hand, when you are evaluating a group, it's just as wrong to disaggregate it into individual atoms and claim that there are no group characteristics that are relevant to making a judgment.
That's why it is simultaneously true that individuals who are part of some group may be good, and the group as a whole is still harmful. When I meet a liberal, for instance,

While raising an LGBT pride flag over the state capitol building, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers said he plans to defy a Supreme Court ruling on so-called “conversion therapy.”
On Monday, the Democratic governor shared his support for protecting “trans kids” and, in particular, keeping on the books a regulation that effectively bans counselors from assisting gender-confused and same-sex attracted kids.
“Let me be clear: I have no intention of repealing the ban on outdated and dangerous practice of conversion therapy on kids, period, end of story, and no questions,” he said to applause.
The rule did not pass through the legislature after committee hearings, mark-ups, and open debate.

CBS News has fired Scott Pelley. The new regime at CBS News is praising Pelley, probably disingenuously:
[New CBS News head Bari] Weiss nevertheless praised Pelley’s body of work and highlighted several of his recent reports for “60 Minutes.”
“That unfortunate outcome does not discount from the amazing contributions and work that Scott Pelley has done for CBS and for ‘60 Minutes’ over the course of his career,” Weiss said.
***
CBS News president Tom Cibrowski echoed Weiss’s remarks, calling Pelley “an integral part of ‘60 Minutes,’ the ‘CBS Evening News’ and this entire news organization for decades.”
“His incredible body of work … will always be part of the history of CBS News,”

The Democrat Party's civil war over Graham Platner is getting messier by the day, and leave it to Jessica Tarlov to pick the wrong side.
While prominent Democrats are tripping over each other to distance themselves from Platner, the Fox News contributor spent a chunk of Monday's America's Newsroom doing the exact opposite. She went on the defensive, and it was not pretty.
I mean, come on, even Sen. Cory Booker is admitting that he “has concerns” about Platner. “That guy has questions to answer,” he said. “And that’s what campaigns are for.”
Tarlov, however, went into a full-throttle defense, complete with deflection and whataboutism.
“There are Democrats who have concerns,

Democrats have shed oceans of crocodile tears over the plight of the average American, struggling to afford gasoline in the wake of “Trump’s war” against Iran. Never mentioned, of course, is the fact that for more than 20 years, Democrats have been doing all they can to raise, not lower, the price of oil. As with so many issues, Democrats rely on the rest of us suffering from memory loss.
So here is a quick refresher: the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil from 1946 through May 2026. The last price recorded on the chart ($97.63, at the moment it is $87.36) is lower than peak prices

The Bidens want to restore Joe Biden’s legacy after his disastrous presidency and his Hindenburg-style campaign collapse, and phase one is Jill Biden’s forthcoming memoir. The next step will be Joe Biden’s inevitable presidential memoir, which is sure to have quite a few doozies in it, but for now, we have Jill’s, and if she thought her book would “set the record straight” and the Democrat Party would be thrilled, well, that’s not what’s happening at all. Instead, it's setting the Democrat Party on fire — and the people most enraged are the ones who spent years covering for Joe Biden.
According to Axios, several former Biden aides, including
