[NYPost] You get the trash you vote for
Nathan Wade “shook” revelers at Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ primary election victory party Tuesday when he strolled into the event “all smiles.”
Wade, the former special prosecutor whose love affair with Willis resulted in him being forced to resign from the historic criminal case against former President Donald Trump, was among those gathered at an event space in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood to celebrate the district attorney’s landslide win.
The 52-year-old prosecutor’s victory over attorney and author Christian Wise Smith comes as she faces multiple investigations launched by state and federal lawmakers over her alleged misuse of taxpayer money and relationship with Wade.
“We can’t keep turning a blind eye to what’s going on in that office,” Wise Smith argued on the campaign trail Monday.
“Chaos. Corruption. It’s time for us in Fulton County to stand up and take our justice system back,” he said in his plea to voters.
Willis, who was first elected to head the Atlanta-area DAs office in 2020, saw her profile dramatically rise after leading the historic criminal investigation and subsequent indictment of former President Donald Trump over his alleged involvement in a plot to overturn the Peach State’s 2020 election results.
Willis made no references to the Trump case in a recent three-minute-long campaign ad, in which she touted going after “gangs and violent offenders.”
“We’ve seen the third largest crime drop in America,” she claimed in the campaign spot.

Again GA voters ask,
Has the Vote count been messed with?
BASED ON EARLY E-COUNTS
A few of GA Republican agenda position questions, that directly challenged the LSD agenda positions, are strangely showing the (R) voter E-counts supporting the LSD political position?
Which is 180 in the opposite direction of what even liberal polls indicated they would be.
However, the Democrat political questions all seem to line up OVERWHELMINGLY with the LSD agenda order?
[PM] On Tuesday night, voters in Multnomah County, Oregon fired one-term George Soros-backed incumbent District Attorney Mike Schmidt.
Fox 12 called the race at approximately 9:30 pm local time with Schmidt’s opponent Nathan Vasquez leading 58 percent to 42 percent. In a non-partisan primary, if a candidate garners over 50 percent of the vote, they are declared the winner of the election but don’t take office until January 2025.
According to the Oregonian, Vasquez, a longtime prosecutor, began working for the District Attorney’s office fresh out of law school. Over the last 24 years, he worked his way up the chain to become a supervisor.
Vasquez’s campaign focused on Schmidt’s soft-on-crime policies that have led to the deterioration of downtown Portland which has become overrun with homelessness and drugs.
According to the Oregonian, Vasquez, a longtime prosecutor, began working for the District Attorney’s office fresh out of law school. Over the last 24 years, he worked his way up the chain to become a supervisor.
Vasquez’s campaign focused on Schmidt’s soft-on-crime policies that have led to the deterioration of downtown Portland which has become overrun with homelessness and drugs.
Since he won in 2020, Schmidt has been criticized by the union that represents prosecutors which ended up endorsing Vasquez. Downtown business groups also backed Vasquez.
The Oregon Bureau of Labor & Industries found last year substantial evidence in favor of former prosecutor Amber Kinney, who alleged when she quit in 2022 that Schmidt had created a “workplace culture of fear, intimidation, and retaliation,” and had set women’s advancement in the office back by “decades.”
A senior prosecutor recently accused Schmidt of making decisions regarding promotions and clemency based on political loyalties rather than using policies in place.
Oregon Live reported that even a last-minute influx of cash to his campaign from groups tied to far-left Democratic mega-donor George Soros could not help Schmidt’s sinking campaign overcome all the baggage.
Wait. Wait. So Hunter Biden’s sugar daddy—the weirdo who paid off Hunter’s tax bills and paid for his lawyers and apparently bankrolled Hunter’s documentary—is a CIA asset? Which means the CIA has been protecting Hunter the whole time? https://t.co/L92vu0kHZn

For those who understand what "the blob" is, this looks rather blobulent.

Hunter had the placement and access (P&A). 60+ trips overseas. No bag check. Corporate positions and sponsorship. Black passport, dip immunity. Whores and drugs a bonus.

The only reason he is enduring the public examination is to make sure they have a full list of the criminal things for which there will be a Presidential Pardon...
[PostMillennial] A large group of news outlets have joined with Judicial Watch and the Heritage Foundation to sue Biden’s Department of Justice for the release of the audio of special counsel Robert Hur’s interview with Joe Biden in the investigation into classified documents found at the president’s residence and office.

Just a thought. How do you think the Secret Service will consider the FBI after this becomes known, presuming it already hasn't been made known. I foresee up-gunning in the near future. What a mess. I read a sci-fi book series where this happened, and the ramifications that resulted. No service could ever consider another service as not hostile. The April series by Mackey Chandler.

They have no use for DoD. Tolerate Klongons to facilitate Legal Attache (LEGAT) missions overseas. Coordinate with host nation LE and share with Klingons and embassy. One big happy 'Country Team' family. Sharing with CONUS LE, not so much.

The right really screwed the pooch on this. We're all for law and order and backing the police. Fine, says the Left. And proceeds to create an army of brown coats. We let them do this and bragged about our civic pride in the process.
[Breitbart] During a speech in New Hampshire on Tuesday discussing the Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act, President Joe Biden seemingly had trouble pronouncing the name of the legislation.
Biden highlighted the success of the PACT Act, which expanded health care and other benefits to veterans who were exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, or other toxic chemicals. The PACT Act was signed into law on August 10, 2022.
As he was closing out his speech, Biden seemed to butcher the name of the PACT Act, referring to it as the "pacandlpacatlackack."
"Let me close with this," Biden said. "After I signed the pacandlpacatlackack into law, I handed the pen and I signed it with a wiszzfschuna, the most person most responsible for the legislation to a widow and her daughter of a late Sgt. First Class Heath Robinson."
At the beginning of Biden’s speech, he referenced his eldest and late son, Beau Biden, who died from brain cancer in May 2015, roughly six years after he had served in Iraq.
Biden has often blamed burn pits for his son’s brain cancer.
"I’m proud to announce the VA just granted its one millionth PACT Act claim, one millionth. It’s a major milestone, providing $5.7 million in benefits to 890,000 veterans and their families so far in hand, including 3,000 here in New Hampshire," Biden said. "It matters because too many service members have not only braved the battlefield, but they also while breathing in toxic fumes and burn from burn pits."
Biden continued to add that his son, Beau, was "one of those veterans" who had been exposed to toxic fumes from burn pits.
"So, this is personal to me and my family, and to his family and his children," Biden added.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced in a press release on Tuesday that the department expected "to grant its one millionth PACT ACT-related disability compensation claims to Veterans" since Biden had signed the legislation.
A Harvard-Harris poll from the beginning of May showed that a plurality of voters feel that Biden is "getting worse" as he continues to serve as president. The poll found that 47 percent think Biden has gotten worse, while 29 percent have expressed he is improving.
A Quinnipiac poll from February found that 67 percent of voters feel that at 81, Biden is too old to serve another term, while 31 percent feel that Biden is not too old.
When asked about Biden’s mental and physical fitness, 35 percent said Biden had the physical fitness to serve another term, while 62 percent said Biden lacked the physical fitness.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
