Herschel Walker has been forced to issue a plea to his fellow Republicans to stop setting up fraudulent fund raising committees that are being billed as "Support Herschel Walker" campaigns.
The politicians setting up these campaigns are keeping 90% of the money for themselves.
Potentially, next year you could be sitting in Congress next to a guy who stole all your money.

"Now let me tell you this here: If we was ready for the green agenda, I'd raise my hand right now. But we're not ready right now! So don't let them fool you like this is a new agenda, this is not a new agenda! We're not prepared, we're not ready right now! What we need to do is keep having these gas-guzzling cars, because we got the good emissions under those cars. We're doing the best thing that we can!"

Attorney General Merrick Garland
U.S. Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC20530-0001
Attorney General Garland:
Last week, former President Donald Trump made allegations that, with the help of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and United States Attorneys, he assisted in ending “ballot theft” in the 2018 election for Florida’s governor and prevented that “Election from being stolen.” It is imperative you address these allegations immediately.
There was no widespread election fraud in the 2018 Election in Florida. There was no broad allegation that the election was being stolen from Ron DeSantis in favor of Andrew Gillum. I know because I was on the ballot in 2018. Although there was a recount for both the race for governor, as well as my own, there was no fraud, and no foul play. To my knowledge, there was no involvement by the Federal Bureau of Investigation or the Office of the United States Attorney.
As you know, voter fraud and tampering with ballots is a serious charge. It is also a serious charge to make these allegations in the name of politics when no such charge occurred. This is why I strongly urge you to address this matter publicly as soon as possible.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Nicole Fried
Commissioner of Agriculture

“To my knowledge, there was no involvement by the Federal Bureau of Investigation or the Office of the US Attorney in the 2018 Florida election. If the President was tampering with state ballots, we need to know. If he is fabricating these allegations in the name of politics, we also need to know. Either way, these actions hurt our democracy and Floridians deserve to know their elections are operating with integrity.”

“It would be a bad mistake for the Republicans to have Donald Trump as their nominee in 2024,”
“Donald Trump has proven himself to be dishonest, disloyal, incompetent, crude and a lot of other things that alienate so many independents and Republicans. Even a candidate who campaigns from his basement can beat him.”
- Representative Mo Brooks –
who spoke at the January 6th insurrection and said, “Today is the day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass.”
hmmmmmm...

Donald will burn everything down' if Republicans turn their backs on him: Mary Trump

"Donald becomes his most dangerous when he fears loss of relevance when he fears that he is no longer the center of attention," she replied. "When he fears that he is no longer than one in control."
"We don't know just what kind of information he has on other people in his party," Trump, a psychologist, elaborated. "What we do know is he would be willing to use it. I believe we talked about this before the 2020 election. Donald will burn everything down if he feels like he is going down -- we cannot discount that, we ignore him at our peril."

Donald Trump can't stand being called a 'loser' and now has 'nowhere to go': biographer
by Tom Boggioni November 13, 2022"According to Donald Trump biographer Tim O'Brien, the failure of the former president's handpicked candidates to win on Tuesday in the midterm election has stuck a label on Trump as a "loser" which he will find intolerable.
Appearing on MSNBC's "The Sunday Show" the Bloomberg editor also warned viewers to expect Trump to "burn things down" rather than go away quietly.
Speaking with host Jonathan Capehart, O'Brien explained, "Donald Trump is not in this for the party, he is not in this for the good of the nation, not in this to make the Republican Party stronger, or to help average Americans. Donald Trump has always been in this for Donald Trump."
"I think, what is at the front of his mind right now is he has had to deal with being labeled a loser, nationally, in the media, within party politics, within the chattering class," he continued. "And this is somebody who wants 'I won' on his gravestone. So he is not going to sit around, happily being called a loser without trying to go to every length he can to address that.""
These are people who know Trump best.
"we ignore him at our peril."

Phoenix police confirmed Friday that no powder was found inside an envelope sent to Kari Lake’s campaign office on Nov. 5.
Ross Trumble, a spokesperson for the Lake campaign, told The Republic that a campaign staffer opened an envelope delivered to the office near 40th Street and Camelback Road in Phoenix that contained "suspicious white powder."
The envelopes were sent to a state lab for testing, according to Phoenix police.
“The state lab tested the items turned over to them,” said Donna Rossi, communications director for Phoenix Police Department. The lab "determined there was no substance inside.”
The Lake campaign has yet to respond to a request for comment.
Pitiful.

Fox's Jesse Watters: "... But single women and voters under 40 have been captured by Democrats. So we need these ladies to get married. And it's time to fall in love and just settle down. Guys, go put a ring on it."
Are forced marriages in our future?
Forced marriages and no abortions. Don't let young people vote.

A federal judge SANCTIONS Trump's attorneys — including Alina Habba — for the massive and "frivolous"pp RICO suit over the Russia probe. Brutal takedown of the "shotgun lawsuit" and "performative litigation," resolving only one sanctions motion.
The judge dismissued the lawsuit against Hilary Clinton and 30 other people and organizations and fined Trump's lawyers $50,000.
Trump is having a not-so-good year.

Some Republicans Want to Raise Voting Age After Gen Z Midterm Turnout
“The fact that these youth voters are coming in so strong in an off-year is very concerning” Fox News commentator Jesse Watters lamented on Wednesday night. “It looks like they’ve been brainwashed. This new generation is totally brainwashed ‘cause a lot of these single women [who] vote 37 spreads for Democrats, are teaching all of our younger generation in these schools and they’re polluting their minds and then they grow up and they’re in their twenties and then they vote for leftists.”"
"“Raise the voting age to 21,” Gabriel tweeted, immediately after noting that “We were promised a red wave and we got a red puddle.”"
"Not to be outdone, conservative radio personality Peter Schiff suggested cutting out current Gen Z voters altogether. “Let's raise the voting age to 28. If I was still 18 I'd support this,” the 59-year-old tweeted."
Stop with the fiddle faddle voter suppression dilly daddlying nonsense.
Let's just cut right to the chase...

Hannity Unsure Who Pushed the ‘Red Tsunami’ Rumors He Pushed
“Sean Hannity is out here trying to find the guy who did this.
Four days before Tuesday’s midterm elections, the Fox News star took to Twitter to promote a segment on his primetime show that featured a couple of conservative pollsters forecasting dominant GOP victories in both the House and Senate.
“RED TSUNAMI COMING?” Hannity posted on Friday night, hyping the “latest polling” from polling firm Trafalgar. “Is a red tsunami on the way?””
Some comedian said that’s not true. “If there was a tsunami coming, Ted Cruz would be on a plane heading for Cancun.”

The Republican Party can blame Donald Trump for their midterm election losses all they want, but how many of the Party leaders went off to New Hampshire and Pennsylvania and Georgia to campaign for and support Bolduc, Oz and Walker and give their campaigns millions and millions of dollars?
They have nobody to blame but themselves.

The greatest political feat, and one that I will never understand, is getting people to vote against their own self-interest.

Voter: "Yes."
Reporter: "Who are you going to vote for?"

Kirk,
I read a report that Trump is livid and storming around Mar-a-Lago screaming at everyone. He wanted to announce his candidacy last Saturday thinking he was going to rise to stardom as a kingmaker. Cooler heads prevailed and got him to hold off in case something happened like last night.
Now, if he announces his candidacy, it will be seen by everyone as an act of desperation. Trump lost in more ways than one last night.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
P.S. Look for an indictment some time this week, before his scheduled deposition before the Jan 6th Committee on the 14th. He will have to either blow off the subpoena and risk a contempt of Congress charge, or go in there and plead the 5th. He said that he was going to have a major announcement on the 15th. I'm thinking DOJ will beat him to the punch.

“We will defend our Constitution. We will defend the Second Amendment. And we will proudly uphold the Judeo-Christian values and principles of our nation's founding.
We will restore patriotic education to our schools, and we will teach our children to love their country, honor our history, and to always respect our great American flag. Always respect our flag.”
“Together, we are standing up against some of the most menacing forces, entrenched interests, and vicious opponents our people have ever seen. Despite great outside dangers, our biggest threat remains the sick, sinister, and evil people from within our country. You know who I'm talking about. You see him all the time. But no matter how big or powerful, the corrupt, radical left Democrats that we are fighting against may be, you must never forget. This nation does not belong to them. This nation belongs to you. That's who it belongs to.
This is your home. This is your heritage. And our American liberty is your God-given right.”
White Christian Nationalism at its finest.
Take that you sick, sinister, evil Democrats. This isn't your home anymore. And, if you don't like it, I have my Second Amendment...

Paul Gosar says Kari Lake might order military blockade of tribal land
“In the days leading up to the 2022 election, Arizona Republican Congressman Paul Gosar has made an extraordinary claim about what the his party’s gubernatorial nominee in the state, Kari Lake, might do in the name of stopping undocumented immigration if she wins office.
In a little-noticed interview on the October 28 edition of the Rumble show “In The Trenches with Teddy Daniels,” Gosar said Lake could order the state's National Guard to surround and blockade the Tohono O'odham Nation, a Native American reservation that borders Mexico, ensuring that “no one passes.” Gosar also floated the possibility that Lake would go to the U.S. Supreme Court to ask for some kind of authority over the reservation, though he was vague on the details.”
“"What if, just what if, somebody like Kari Lake wins the governorship, which she should, and she follows through on her promise like Donald Trump did, and says, 'OK, I'm calling a state of emergency across the state of Arizona. I'm militia-izing the National Guard. I am putting them on the border. And let's do this: Let's outline the Tohono O'odham Nation'," Gosar said during the interview with racist conspiracy theorist and “Bikers for Trump” member Teddy Daniels, who placed third in the Republican primary for Pennsylvania lieutenant governor earlier this year.
"We outline them, all—with all our National Guard. And we say no one passes. Well, that tells the Tohono O'odham, you're either America and Arizona first. Or you're Mexico first. And Mexico doesn't recognize you. Oh, that's a good one."”
Oh goody. We don't have anything else going on today. Let's go start an Indian War.

Trump and Elon Musk are dangerous narcissists tailored to 2022 America
"Beware. The last time the world gave in to megalomaniacs it did not end well.
The robber barons of the Gilded Age – men like William (“the public be damned”) Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie and John D Rockefeller – siphoned off so much of the nation’s wealth that the rest of the nation had to go deep into debt to maintain their standard of living and overall demand for the goods and services the nation produced.
When that debt bubble burst in 1929, the world got a Great Depression. And that depression paved the way for Benito Mussolini, Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler, who created the worst threats to freedom and democracy the modern world had ever witnessed, and the most deaths.
We are much safer when economic and political power is widely diffused. We are better off when people like Musk and Trump cannot gain such untrammeled wealth and influence.
We all do better when fewer Americans feel so helpless and insecure that they’re drawn to reprehensible bullies who parade across the public stage as if possessing admirable qualities."

Trump’s allies are trying to convince him not to announce his 2024 bid tonight: report
Sky Palma November 07, 2022
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-2024-announcement-2658611458/
“"Trump 'wants to announce' a 2024 bid tonight 'to take credit' for Republicans’ expected victory in the midterms tomorrow, a Trumpworld source told me 'But there are people asking him to hold back,'" Elkind tweeted.
But according to The Daily Mail's Liz Elkind, some Republicans are trying to get Trump to ditch his alleged plan to announce his bid.
“What they will try to tell him is, ‘you don’t want to be on the hook if we have some surprise loses,'" Elkind quoted the source as saying. “My line of thinking and others’ in the other camp say, look. He’s someone who doesn’t back down. He’s someone who always follows his instincts, and if his instincts…”
Speculation a Trump announcement is starting heighten, especially after Trump told attendees of previous rallies supporters to keep an eye on the Ohio rally.”
He's got to get out ahead of that January 6th Committee subpoena, you know?

Live to fight. That’s their only purpose. The reason doesn’t matter. Arguing is an end unto itself. More often then not, they are late teen incels living in their mother’s basement, or someone who is emotionally stuck at that age. You cannot win arguments with Terribly Redundant Obtuse Lazy Laggard Snowflakes because they are not interested in growing. If you don’t fight with them, eventually they will get bored and move on to somewhere else where they can pick fights. That’s the only way they can get attention.
