[LAWENFORCEMENTTODAY] On Tuesday, November 5th, San Jose Councilmember Omar Torres was arrested on suspicion of child molestation charges. As of this writing, Torres is being held in the Santa Clara County Main Jail without bail.
According to FOX2, the San Jose Police Department (SJPD) confirmed that Torres' arrest was related to "an ongoing investigation of crimes related to lewd acts with a child." More information about the alleged charges is forthcoming. Torres' attorney presents a different story, saying that his client had his office submit a resignation letter earlier and that coincidentally, the arrest happened a few hours later.
Calls for Torres' resignation have grown in recent weeks after it was revealed that he was under investigation by SJPD for child sex crimes. The councilmember initially said that those accusations were false.
Residents have launched a petition to recall Torres, with many in the community saying enough is enough and that he is no longer fit to serve. That recall process, however, could take months and requires signatures.
Torres' attorney previously said that private communication between his client and another man was "simply sexual fantasy and role play" and that Torres "was a victim of extortion." Councilmember Bien Doan, Torres' colleague, said that the police investigation into Torres was extensive and that the resignation did in fact follow Torres' arrest.
He said, "This action marks a crucial step toward accountability and I am pleased he has finally stepped down in the best interest of the people of District 3. This is a pivotal moment for our city. We must work together to restore trust in our city council and ensure that the actions of one individual do not overshadow the collective responsibility we have to our communities. The people of our city deserve leaders who are committed to transparency, integrity, and service."

I wonder what a legit, Untouchables-like investigation into child sex trade in California would look like?
[FoxNews] Trump-appointed federal judge ruled that the program exceeded Biden's executive authority.
A federal judge in Texas has thrown out the Biden administration's attempt to legalize hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants married to U.S. citizens via a "parole in place" program.
The program, called "Keeping Families Together," was introduced by the Biden administration during the summer and would have given protection from deportation to illegal immigrants who are married to U.S. citizens.
U.S. District Judge J. Campbell Barker, who was appointed by now President-elect Donald Trump, ruled on Thursday that the program is unlawful and exceeded Biden's executive authority.
"We just WON our lawsuit with Ken Paxton, Raul Labrador, and a coalition of 14 states. We have officially STOPPED the Biden-Harris Administration’s illegal attempt to grant mass amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens," America First Legal wrote in a post on X following the decision.
The program was launched in August but was blocked days later by Barker, who left it frozen while he considered a legal challenge brought by Texas and a coalition of U.S. states with Republican attorneys general.
"Since day one, the Biden-Harris Administration has dedicated itself to the decimation of our immigration system and the erasure of our borders. Time and again, the States stood up. And today, the great State of Texas and the courageous Ken Paxton, alongside a coalition of other brave Attorneys General, succeeded in stopping an illegal program that would have provided amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens and paved the path for the largest administrative amnesty in American history. We are proud to stand alongside these patriots in defense of our great nation," said Gene Hamilton, America First Legal Executive Director.
The administration had estimated that about 500,000 immigrants would be impacted, and about 50,000 children.
However, the coalition of states claims that it would allow more than 1.3 million illegal immigrants to benefit.
The states argued that the rule violates federal law, which prohibits illegal immigrants from obtaining immigration benefits, including permanent status, without first having left the country and being readmitted. They argue it does that by an unlawful use of parole, which is limited to use on a "case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit."
"Joe Biden and Kamala Harris created a crisis at the southern border, leaving the American people to pay the consequences. In the wake of the federal government’s refusal to act, states like Missouri had no choice but to step in and take action to secure our southern border," said Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey. "We filed suit to ensure millions of unvetted individuals are not invading our communities."
The states in the lawsuit are Texas, Idaho, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wyoming.
So many adjectives that he clearly intended to convey a profound philosophic meaning.
The EU in its current state is a ‘herbivore’ surrounded by “carnivores,” and must become bolder and less dependent on the US and China, French President Emmanuel Macron has said.
The president made the remarks on Thursday while addressing EU leaders at the fifth European Political Community summit in Budapest, Hungary. Macron reiterated his longstanding message that the bloc should play a more assertive role in global affairs.
”For me, it’s simple. The world is made up of herbivores and carnivores. If we decide to remain herbivores, then the carnivores will win and we will be a market for them,” Macron said. He cautioned, however, against becoming too “aggressive.”
“I think, at the very least, we should choose to become omnivores. I don’t want to be aggressive, just that we know how to defend ourselves on all these subjects.”
The French president urged the EU to lower its dependency on major foreign actors, including the US and China. Delegating economic development and its geopolitics to third parties has ultimately turned out to be “not the best idea,” he said.
“We [in Europe] think that we should delegate our geopolitics to the United States of America, that we should delegate our growth debt to our Chinese clients, that we should delegate our technological innovation to the American hyper-scalers,” Macron stated.

The EU should stop acting like a “supermarket open to all,” he said. “Our open liberal democracy model is a target for other powers with opposing agendas who seek to divide us.”
[JustTheNews] Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba is facing five federal charges, Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens is facing eight charges, and Ward 6 Councilman Aaron Banks is facing two.
Jackson, Mississippi Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba and other city officials on Thursday pleaded not guilty to a string of federal corruption charges.
The group of indicted officials, which includes Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens, and Ward 6 Councilman Aaron Banks, has been accused of accepting thousands of dollars in bribes in exchange for favors and positive votes, according to USA Today.
Another city council member, along with a conspirator, was charged in the case earlier this year, and pleaded guilty. The city council member Angelique Lee admitted that she accepted nearly $20,000 in "cash, deposits and other gifts." The conspirator, Sherik Marve' Smith, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery.
Owens is currently facing the most amount of charges of the group, with eight felony counts. Lumumba is facing five charges, and Banks is facing two. The charges range from bribery to racketeering.
The indictment detailed that Owens facilitated $80,000 in bribes to Lumumba and Lee in exchange for official action on a hotel development project.
Owens also allegedly accepted $115,000 from undercover FBI agents who were posing as developers from Nashville.
“Owens, Banks, Lumumba, Lee and Smith were not aware that, in reality, the Developers were working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the indictment states.
Owens and Lumumba have denied the bribery allegations, and the mayor claimed the case was "political prosecution."
"To be clear, I have never accepted a bribe of any type. As mayor, I have always acted in the best interest of the citizens of Jackson," Lumumba said in a statement. "We believe this to be a political prosecution against me, primarily designed to destroy my credibility and reputation within the community. There is no coincidence, and its timing being just before the upcoming mayoral race.
"My legal team will vigorously defend me against these charges," he continued. "Again, while I am disappointed, I am not deterred, so I ask for your patience and your prayers during this process."

[AndMagazine] A "stay behind" program is something intelligence agencies and special operations forces prepare in advance of an enemy invasion. During the Cold War, we set up programs like this in Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... for activation in the event the Soviets invaded and overran the territory of NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... allies. We recruited assets. We buried caches of weapons and munitions. We prepared to resist.
The federal bureaucracy is doing the same thing in advance of Trump’s inauguration.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is changing the civil service rules to make it harder for the incoming Trump administration to dismiss federal employees and put in place its own people.
During the first Trump administration, President Trump issued an executive order creating something called Schedule F. Put simply it reclassified many senior positions in the federal government as "at will" positions. What this meant in practice was that the President could remove these individuals readily and put in place his own people.
Ultimately, Schedule F never took effect, because the rule was implemented at the very end of Trump’s term, and Biden abandoned it immediately on taking office. Trump has made clear, though, that he intends to reinstate Schedule F on Day One of his new administration.
"Here’s my plan to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our democracy from Washington corruption once and for all, and corruption it is," Trump said last year. "First, I will immediately re-issue my 2020 executive order restoring the president’s authority to remove rogue babus bureaucrats. And I will wield that power very aggressively. Second, we will clean out all the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus, and there are plenty of them."
In terms of getting down to the hard work of regaining control of the Swamp and curtailing the extra-constitutional power of permanent Washington, there are few more critical issues. The bureaucracy has become so large and so powerful, that it operates largely outside the control of America’s elected representatives. The President has to have the ability to put in place his people, not just at the Cabinet level but throughout the vast reaches of the federal government.
The men and women who inhabit the Swamp at its senior levels understand that. They have no intention of allowing a man elected by a bunch of average Americans from the provinces to actually gain control over the government. They are superior and born to rule after all.
So, OPM is locking in new rules designed to prevent Trump from putting his own people in place. Under Trump’s Schedule F certain positions "of a confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating character" were designated as being exempt from civil service protections. This meant Trump could choose who filled those positions.
OPM just issued a new rule designed to dramatically narrow the definition of "policy-related" jobs to noncareer political appointments only. This means a very large number of positions would be designated as outside the scope of Schedule F. Many, many babus bureaucrats who otherwise might be fired will now be protected.
The new rule also puts in place a whole series of other limitations on moving people from a protected civil service status to one that would allow the President to remove them. Of course, the OPM rule also includes an appeal process so that every single individual removed by the President can now protest and demand additional layers of bureaucratic scrutiny.
Trump’s return to Washington is a critical first step in regaining control over the vast federal bureaucracy. This 4th branch of government, which appears nowhere in the Constitution, now operates largely beyond the control of any of the President and Congress. Both the Heritage Foundation and America First Policy Institute have endorsed reviving Schedule F, going so far as to create lists of some 50,000 current career civil servants whose positions need to be reclassified to allow the President to remove them at will. There have been, in fact, even broader proposals such as converting the entire federal workforce into at-will employees and outlawing collective bargaining at federal agencies. They're looking for a replay of the first Trump administration. The Resistance™ will be back any time. 2016 knocked these parasites back on their heels, but remember that within a week they were hard at work trying to discredit, diminish, and destroy Trump and all his works. Remember Maxine Waters and her "Impeach 45" cries a month before he was inaugurated, the Emoluments Clause, and the "Anonymous" goober who wrote an editorial for the NYT about how they were ignoring his policies.

I kinda like Speaker Mike Johnson's plan to decentralize government agencies. Why wouldn't the Department of Agriculture be moved to Kansas?
That plan will cause a LOT of attrition.

DC voted 97% democrat. The people working in and running this nation are not representative of this nation. Our congress does not pass laws anymore. They pass resolutions to give agencies power to make up the laws. Laws made up of, 97%, democrats. Trump has to balance power in the agencies, call it draining the swamp or whatever, he has to do this and they know it.

[ZH] Former senior Obama advisor-turned-senior Kamala Harris advisor David Plouffe has deleted his X account after suggesting on Wednesday that Harris' landslide defeat was Joe Biden's fault for not dropping out soon enough, and right as a massive campaign debt scandal erupts.
"We dug out of a deep hole but not enough. A devastating loss," Plouffe posted to X - in what many interpreted as a dig at Biden.
You needn’t vote Democrat — it’ll be handled for you.
[MSN-AyPee] A postal worker and her friend were arrested Wednesday in connection with the forging of stolen mail ballots in an alleged attempt to test the security of Colorado's voting system, according to court documents.
Mail carrier Vicki Lyn Stuart and Sally Jane Maxedon were arrested on suspicion of identity theft, attempt to influence a public servant and forgery, according to their arrest affidavits. There were no attorneys listed as representing them yet in court records. Neither has been formally charged yet.
In a statement, the office of 21st District Attorney Dan Rubinstein said its Sherlocks began a probe on Oct. 21 after residents who never submitted a ballot or ever received a ballot in the mail were notified that their ballots were not being counted because of discrepancies with their signatures.
Colorado overwhelmingly votes by mail, which officials tout as a safe and convenient method that avoids long lines and last-minute problems on Election Day. Ballots are mailed to voters who can either return them by mail or drop them off in ballot boxes. Election workers check the signatures on the envelopes holding mail ballots against voter signatures they have on file to ensure they are being submitted by the voter the ballot was sent to.
The investigation into the stolen and forged ballots was announced by Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold last month.
At the time, she said at least 12 mailed ballots were stolen in Mesa County and sent in with fraudulent votes, three of which slipped past county election officials and were counted for the election that ended Tuesday. Because ballots themselves are not signed, once they are removed from the signature envelope, there is no way to identify them.
A weak point in the system that needs to be shored up — most effectively by returning to in-person voting on election day.
According to the arrest affidavits, victims are still being located and confirmed, and Sherlocks believe there could be over 20 people whose ballots were stolen.
Mesa County is where former county clerk Tina Peters was recently sentenced to prison for a data-breach scheme spawned from false claims about voter machine fraud in the 2020 presidential race.

[JustTheNews] Some analysts had feared that President Biden would tap the stockpile again to address any increases in gasoline prices in the lead up to the Nov. 5 presidential election, as he did in 2022, which would end the DOE’s efforts to refill the SPR.
No worries. President Trump will encourage oil production again, and we’ll refill the reserve at a lower price than his predecessor sold. Probably within six months.

^ With what oil? They've restricted domestic production so much that supplies to refill will probably have to be imported. Drill, baby, drill

Don’t even have to wait for new drilling to hit oil, Frank G — they can just open the stopcocks for all the 4-8 year old wells that President Biden ordered shut down. We were producing enough excess to sell to the world the last time President Trump lived in the White House.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A candidate to head Donald Trump's Justice Department threatened New York Attorney General Letitia James that he would put her 'fat a-- in prison' if she continues her prosecution of the president-elect.
Mike Davis - a controversial right-wing lawyer and commentator - told journalist Benny Johnson he was ready to go to war for Trump against enemies like James who may use 'lawfare' against him.
James signaled on Wednesday she is not going to back down on her probes and lawsuits against Donald Trump as she vowed to fight against any potential 'revenge or retribution' from the former president.
'Listen here, sweetheart, we're not messing around this time and we will put your fat a-- in prison for conspiracy against rights. I promise you that,' he said.
Davis is reportedly in the running to serve as Trump's Attorney General or White House Counsel.
[FoxNews] New York City is ending a program that provided prepaid debit cards to migrant families living in the sanctuary city.
In a statement obtained by FOX 5 New York, Adams announced the end of the immediate response cards pilot program.
Pilot crashed?
"Through the immediate response cards pilot program, we were able to reduce food waste, redirect millions of dollars to our local economy, and provide more culturally relevant food to more than 2,600 migrant families in our care," Adams said. "As we move towards more competitive contracting for asylum seeker programs, we have chosen not to renew the emergency contract for this pilot program once the one-year term concludes."
New York City officials began giving out prepaid debit cards to migrant families residing in the Big Apple earlier this year. The prepaid cards – the first of which were distributed in March as part of the city's Immediate Response Cards (IRC) program – are meant to be used only to purchase essential items like food.
The mayor’s office previously said access to the program is limited to those in a separate program that provides four-week hotel stays for families with children, and families expecting children.
Allowances for illegal immigrants residing in the city are distributed on a weekly basis until the end of their four-week hotel stays, with families of four with two children under the age of five receiving up to nearly $350 each week.
Officials said the program would save the city about $600,000 per month, and $7.2 million per year.
New York City, which has been overwhelmed by more than 200,000 migrant arrivals since 2022, has been providing settlement options to migrants since that time. Last year, it opened a re-ticketing center to offer one-way plane tickets to migrants.
Late last month, Fox News confirmed that 4,500 migrants had been sent back to Texas using bus or plane tickets purchased by the city, which was first reported by Bloomberg News.
According to Mayor Eric Adams’ office, the top five destinations for migrants leaving the Big Apple are Texas, Illinois, Florida, New York State and Colorado.
In total, they have issued more than 47,000 tickets and roughly 4,500 have gone to Texas. It was not clear how many of those migrants had come from buses sent to NYC from Texas.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began bussing migrants to New York City and other sanctuary cities in 2022, in what he said was an effort to relieve pressure on the overwhelmed border communities. Abbott said he chose sanctuary cities – cities that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement – because he said they encouraged the crisis.
One of many 'unmentionable' policies suddenly now being exposed by the media. Seemingly, some hard core bullying kept a cap on the information distribution.

Taking away the newcomer benefits is the first step for self deportation. After that things might get ugly. For sure media events of starving children.

Article I, II, and III specify the organization of the national government. It can not be part of one of the branches and independent of it. You work for one or the other. Unless you have been granted Civil Service protection, in the Executive, you work for the President at his whim.
The Fed was founded to end the cycle of financial 'crashes' of the 19th Century. It's presided over one depression (probably more if you use the original metrics of the '30s) and several 'deep' recessions. It has failed it reason to exist. It has played politics in many of its considerations. It's just another corrupted institution (see - FBI, DoJ).
[REDSTATE] Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... and affiliated entities are in a state of dismay, and we now take a look at those who also will be suffering a loss with the defeat of Kamala Harris who got her start in politix between former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's' knees , and the Democrats on a wider scale. There are plenty of wounds that will be licked for a time now.
Probably the biggest faction to lose is the obvious one — the national media. There is no debating how they were fully behind Kamala Harris. The press industry bet hard on Harris as they pushed their chips all in while holding a pair of threes, and the voting public called their bluff. Currently the news outlets and the journalists are grieving, and it is amusing to watch the wailing.
But they were the obvious losers. Following the vote Tuesday there are a number of others as well as entities that suffered severe setbacks on Tuesday night.
TIM WALZ
The Minnesota governor was a barely regarded figure going into the summer, but the withering of Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body.... and having Kamala Harris spot-welded onto the ticket brought Walz to national attention — and it did not benefit him in the end. His past controversies were dredged up, the reliance on him to draw in male voters had alpha males laughing as he failed repeatedly -- at drawing football plays, at hunting, and even playing video games. He tried to slam Trump and JD Vance as ''weird,'' all while behaving as a kickline goofball on stage and devolving into a punchline. His political future is now as dim as a warning light on a toaster.
HOLLYWOOD
Like most elections, the celebrity set was trotted out to back the Democrats, but in this election, those endorsements felt quite devalued. Hollywood is liberal by default, so seeing these luminaries touting Harris did not move the needle as most people reacted with a ''Well yeah, of course'' kind of reaction. Nobody thought Beyonce would have ever backed Trump. Bruce Springsteen's endorsement was met with yawns. When the actors from ''The Avengers'' backed Harris in a Zoom call, many said the Biden-Harris administration was Thanos. The press went kaboom! over Taylor Swift promoting Harris but failed to recognize a bulk of her fan base is too young to even vote. The best is the late-night gabbers using their shows now not to entertain audiences but to serve as their therapy sessions.
DEI
This topic was brought up soon after Kamala was anointed, and her campaign suffered as a result. The Democrats and the press tried to imply it was racist to suggest Kamala was a DEI candidate, but what it ended up doing was having people regard her as just that. The announcement by Biden that he would choose a POC female for a running mate basically defines the term. A sign of how this concept was being denigrated during this election played out as a number of companies came out with announcements that they were dropping DEI programs.
DEMOCRATIC INFLUENCERS
If you spent any time on political threads on social media there is a chance you have come across any of a number of online voices who pumped out perpetual pro-party agit-prop. These names have long been exposed as pocketing cash from the DNC (If you're white you ain't right!) ...Democrat National Committee, where all those off-the-wall talking points originate... , despite their denials. Now that the election has concluded and their influence was shown to be non-existent, we expect the likes of Harry Sisson, Brooklyn Dad, Jo From Jersey, and many other unconnected dupes to see those paychecks stop flowing and then fade from our timelines.
DEMOCRATIC MASCULINITY
The male vote was proven to be the big challenge for the Harris campaign, and this was augmented by the attempts to curry favor with males this fall. The party that has spent so much energy slandering toxic males suddenly faced the need to draw those they had demonized, and they were clueless. Tim Walz ...Kamala's smarmy-looking running mate, governor of Minnesota, who decided to retired rather than to deploy with his National Guard unit, then claimed to have been in Iraq and Afghanistan. One man's socialism is another man's neighborliness.... was sold as a hunter, yet he could not handle his gun. Doug Emhoff was sold as a sex symbol when in reality men would move to sit across the bar away from him. They delivered a farcical false ad of ''men'' (actors) supporting Kamala. And of course there was the laughable group "White Dudes for Harris" that managed to only gather those already under the Democrat gazebo.

"I didn't know males needed tampons until I saw the White Dudes for Kamala video."
[TOWNHALL] While his fellow CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... panelists were freaking out over the 2024 win for President-Elect Donald Trump ...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down... , Scott Jennings continued to offer some key reminders worth keeping in mind not just for Trump and the Republican Party, but for the good of the country.
Just as he had given advice in the early morning hours of Wednesday, when the race had just been called for Trump, Jennings had more to offer later that day on the network. As he had discussed earlier in the day, and as CNN's Ana Navarro had also pointed out moments before, Trump indeed has a mandate now. He referenced how back in June, there was an article from The New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... about "resistance to new Trump administration already forming." It's not just these groups out there, as such pieces promote, but also Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... in office, namely Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island.
"My political advice to all these people is please pick up the election results today and see what happened. The American people want this president and his administration and his party to make progress on the things they promised to do," Jennings offered, reminding how this happened after Trump won in 2016 as well. "This is exactly what happened last time. They were plotting to impeach him before he ever took office back in 2016. Let us not have a replay of this," Jennings reminded. "Can we just have a couple of years of peace for the Republicans and President Trump to do what they promised to do because the American people clearly are asking for it?"
Navarro, who also emits her anti-Trump rants while on "The View," predictably responded with a "but Trump" kind of narrative, as did others, including even host Erin Burnett. Ashley Allison even promoted Democratic politicians blocking Trump's agenda.
"If you're a Democrat right now, and your constituency has sent you back in this election, you have a responsibility to them also. And it is not to allow Donald Trump to get away with everything he wants to get away with. That is our democracy. People are allowed to take positions. That is the difference between a dictatorship and a democracy. That's what we've been fighting," she offered, continuing the narrative of the failed Harris-Walz campaign when it comes to warnings about Trump.
"I agree that they have constituents, but there is a difference in responding to your constituents and working overtime to try to prevent the duly elected government from doing anything," Jennings offered, before Allison cut him off to accuse his arguments of being "so duplicitous."
That didn't stop Jennings from offering his advice to Democrats, though. "Okay, my advice is if you all go down this road and try to stop this government, which just won a mandate from doing anything, you will again pay the price and election after election. The American people are asking for progress. Do not tie this man up. Give this person a chance to lead," he said, almost as a warning.
I wish I could buy stock in Scott Jennings because there’s not really anyone else like him right now:
1. He debates 5 on 1 basically all the time. He never complains about being ganged up on.
2. He doesn’t lose his cool or resort to cheap shots. He debates aggressively and… https://t.co/azVodofF5D
[BREITBART] Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... have quietly begun to distance themselves from more holy warrior elements of transgender ideology in the wake of Donald Trump ...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried.... 's return to the White House, fearing the issue will further alienate voters.
Speaking with the New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... , New York Rep. Tom Suozzi (D) said Democrat calls to push the party left will alienate the voters they desperately need to stay relevant.
''The Democrats have to stop pandering to the far left,'' he said. ''I don't want to discriminate against anybody, but I don't think biological boys should be playing in girls' sports. Democrats aren't saying that, and they should be.''
The message is markedly different from what Democrats were saying in lead up to the election, with Times columnist Masha Gessen arguing Kamala Harris Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's' former mistress needed to embrace transgender ideology.
''In my imagination, there can be a [Democratic] politician who says [to Americans], 'Look, [transgenderism] is not a big deal. You can still love your child. We can live in a world that's organized not like the world of our parents. That's what politicianship and invention and futurism are about, and it's going to be OK because we're all going to figure it out together,'' wrote Gessen.
Joe Scarborough of MSNBC's Morning Joe also admitted on his program that men should not be playing in women's sports.
''Democrats should be smarter on the women's athletics thing. 85% of Americans oppose men transitioning after puberty competing against women,'' he said on the show.

[THEFEDERALIST] Voters in Arizona's largest county are on track to elect a staunch conservative to replace the locality's leftist-friendly elections chief.
On Wednesday, Democrat Tim Stringham announced that he had called Republican Justin Heap to effectively concede defeat in the race to become Maricopa County's next recorder. Heap, a member of the Arizona Freedom Caucus, confirmed his opponent called to concede in a tweet published the same day.
''It is undeniably true that past elections, under both parties and spanning more than a decade, have denigrated our county's reputation and made us the laughing stock of the nation. That ends today,'' Heap wrote on X.
While Arizona officials continue to count votes as of this article's publication, preliminary results show Heap currently leading Stringham by 4.2 points, according to The New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... The apparent victory is welcome news for Arizona voters concerned about the integrity of Maricopa County elections. Since 2021, the recorder position has been occupied by Stephen Richer, a self-styled ''Republican'' who is hostile to election integrity activists throughout the state.
Heap previously defeated Richer during Arizona's July primaries, in which the latter reportedly received financial backing from Democrat megadonor Reid Hoffman. The race came months after legacy media launched a seemingly coordinated campaign to baselessly smear Heap as an ''election denier'' and boost Richer's reelection prospects.
[ABCNEWS.G] Republican Jeff Hurd has won the U.S. House seat in Colorado that Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert nearly lost in 2022 then left for another race, a risky but ultimately successful bet she took in the hopes of keeping the seat in GOP hands and staying in Congress herself.
Hurd, more mild-mannered than Boebert and hewing to an older GOP tradition, beat Adam Frisch, the Democrat who nearly unseated Boebert two years ago in the 3rd Congressional District, which covers the state's Rocky Mountains. Boebert, meanwhile, won a seat in the 4th Congressional District.
Hurd was leading by about 12,000 votes in unofficial results as of Thursday — a much larger margin than the 546 votes Boebert won by in 2022.
[PBS.ORG] Republican Tim Sheehy bolstered the GOP's newly acquired Senate majority with a victory over three-term Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Tester in a contest of national importance that featured a record-setting torrent of spending by the two sides.
Sheehy, a former U.S. Navy SEAL, closely aligned his campaign with Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... and leading conservatives while painting Tester as a corrupt Washington insider. The Republican also promised to address the southern border crisis and curb government regulation.
His victory cements Republican dominance in Montana, where the party now controls every statewide political office. It also reflects a broader shift toward the GOP that has swept much of the American heartland over the past two decades.
Montana's political profile has changed dramatically since Tester's first election. It went from a ''purple'' state that traditionally sent a mix of Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... and Republicans to higher offices, to one where partisan divisions rule and the GOP enjoys a supermajority in the state Legislature.
Tester was the last member of his party to hold statewide office in Montana and the last Democratic senator from the five-state Northern Plains region. When he first entered office in 2006, Democrats held six of the region's 10 Senate seats.
The party entered Tuesday's election with a narrow two-seat majority in the Senate. Tester — a moderate and the chamber's only working farmer — was considered one of the most vulnerable Democrats on the ballot nationwide.
Republicans took control of the Senate on Tuesday night with wins in Ohio and West Virginia.
