Award-winning POLITICO investigative correspondent evidently has never investigated The Declaration of Independence

 Przybyla: Extreme Conservative Christian Nationalists Believe Rights Come From God, Not Government

She reportedly was born in 1973, which would make her 50 years old.

Graduate of former cow college Michigan State University.

Not surprisingly, she can't spell either:

Politico: Northampton County Pennsylvania touchscreen voting machines in 2019 election had reliable paper backups, but not in 2023

The 2019 election was the first time Northampton used the touchscreen voting machines from Election Systems & Software. That year, a programming glitch caused the ES&S machines to significantly undercount the votes for the Democratic candidate in a local judges’ race. Then on Nov. 7 this year, Northampton residents who showed up at their local polling station found that printouts from the same devices didn’t match the votes they had submitted digitally for two down-ballot judges contests. ... “In 2019, when the issues came up with the touchscreens, we were told, ‘Don’t worry about it. The cards are recording the votes,’” Northampton County Republican Committee Chair Glenn Geissinger told POLITICO. “OK, you’re telling me now, in 2023, ‘Don’t worry about what’s printed on the card?’”

Cornel West's campaign of all the different voices is just the cacophany you'd expect from the University of Michigan Hospital's ninth floor

In the jazz parlance that West regularly uses to describe his candidacy, the campaign is getting more out and free.

“I am in no way an ordinary politician,” West said. “Therefore, it’s a matter of making sure that we have people in place who are willing to be unorthodox and cut against the grain, organizationally, internally and politically and morally.”

“We want to be jazz-like, in terms of raising all of the different voices,” he added.

"We focus on Gaza at this moment, because a genocidal attack is taking place."

Black intellectual philosopher Cornel West goes after the Hamas vote in Michigan lol


 Politico.

Dim bulb Jonathan Martin says Joe should heave Bidenomics into the dumpster just as broad inflation tanks from 3.7% yoy in September to 3.2% yoy in October

Perhaps the most overwhelming economic messaging advice I picked up from Democrats was for him to heave “Bidenomics” into the dumpster. Attempting to make voters believe something they don’t is folly. Attaching your name to that strategy borders on masochistic.

Here’s How Biden Can Turn It Around

Joe would be well on his way to re-election right now if he weren't shooting himself in the foot with his stupid green energy policies, which are keeping inflation from coming down harder than it already is.

That's what needs to go in the dumpster.





Joe Biden: David Axelrod is a prick

On that we agree.

Here.

But Jonathan Martin must be joking when he recommends Biden bring in Rahm Emanuel to run the 2024 re-election campaign and Bill and Hillary to lead a Mideast peace process.

I mean LOL:

It may sound far-fetched, but this is no time for small thinking. The moment demands all hands on deck.

Getting on the ballot everywhere is RFK Jr's big problem as an independent

“I wondered if they had thought it all through before making the switch over,” said Michael Arno, a ballot access expert who’s firm was working with No Labels until April of this year and devised the independent ballot access plans for Howard Schultz in 2020 and Michael Bloomberg before that. ... Kennedy’s decision to run as an independent after competing for four months as a Democrat is a more spontaneous approach to the race than most independent candidates typically take. ... The first deadline is Jan. 6, 2024, in Utah with a named vice president required.

The State of New York is run by green energy extremists who hate your use of natural gas, same as in California and Washington

First they came for your toilets, dishwashers, and clothes washers, and you said nothing.

Then they came for your coal, and you said nothing.

Then they came for your lightbulbs, and you said nothing.

Liberal Republicans in the Senate and the House again betray the Republican base, work with Democrats to advance same-sex-marriage rights but delayed action to avoid election consequences

Same-sex marriage protections clear critical Senate hurdle

Twelve Republicans voted with all Democrats to move forward on the bill, after negotiators reached a bipartisan deal to include protections for religious liberty.

 

In a 62-37 vote, 12 Republicans voted with all Democrats to move forward on the bill, after negotiators reached a bipartisan deal to include protections for religious liberty. The vote on final passage could occur as soon as this week. ...  

Wednesday’s vote showed Majority Leader Chuck Schumer might get what he hoped for when he delayed the bill to protect same-sex marriage rights from coming to the floor in September, agreeing to Republican requests that the chamber take it up after the election. ... negotiators bet that waiting would help solidify support and allow senators to vote without considering the midterms. ...

While the House passed its same-sex marriage bill in July with support from nearly 50 House Republicans, the process in the Senate has taken more time amid GOP concerns about religious liberty. If the Senate does pass its version, the legislation will need another vote of approval from the House to head to President Joe Biden’s desk. ...

It also would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act signed in 1996, which defined marriage as between one man and one woman under federal laws.

Biden is breaking the law by canceling student loans, and everybody knows it

A COVID-19 emergency excuse is even less persuasive today than it was when Pelosi last year said Biden doesn't have the authority to cancel the loans.

This will be stopped by the courts, same as Biden's illegal vaccine mandate for the private sector was stopped.

Still waiting, however, for the courts to reverse the illegal deprivation of the former president of access to his own papers. 

So don't hold your breath.

This out of control and senile old man Joe Biden should be impeached and removed from office.

US Department of Education, Office of the General Counsel, January 12, 2021, here:

All federal student loan programs administered by the Department are funded through annual Congressional appropriations drawn from the Treasury. These appropriations are conditioned on the Department’s faithful execution of the laws authorizing that loans be made available to eligible borrowers and then repaid or collected. See 20 U.S.C. §§ 1077a, 1078, 1078-3, 1078-6, 1078-7, 1080, 1080a, 1082, 1083, 1085, 1087e, 1087-1, 1087gg, 1091b, 1092b, 1092c, 1095a, 1098e. Although Congress could enact legislation authorizing the Department to provide blanket or mass cancellation, compromise, discharge, or forgiveness of student loan principal balances, and/or to materially modify repayment amounts or terms, it has not done so. See 20 U.S.C. §§ 1077-10 – 1077-12, 1087e(f), 1087e(h), 1087ee, 1091b, 1098d. Rather, Congress has explicitly authorized cancellation, compromise, discharge, or forgiveness, and/or material modifications to repayment amounts or terms only in very limited circumstances. See, e.g., 20 U.S.C. §§ 1087e(f), 1087e(h), 1094(b)(3), 1098aa, et seq. ...

Title IV’s plain text and statutory scheme, and controlling interpretative canons, compel us to conclude Congress appropriated funds for student loans with the expectation that such loans would be repaid except in very specific circumstances.

Biden lied about American citizens left in Afghanistan saying only 100 remained after the pullout when over 800 have been rescued in the interim

 Republican efforts in Congress are responsible for the new information coming to light.

It is unclear how many American citizens still remain in Afghanistan.

Nor is anything said about the fate of tens of thousands of Afghan friends of the US who never made it out despite American promises to bring them here.

600 legal permanent residents of the US have also been rescued.

Story.
