IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) Continuing with the "We really don't know what was in the mind of the second Trump would-be assassin," he merely wrote a book urging Iran to assassinate Trump. I'm sure, though, his motives are a mystery. Meanwhile, the increasingly irrelevant Rutabaga placed a call to President Trump expressing relief Trump was not injured. Trump called the call "cordial."
2) Along with Seth Keshel, I continue to track what I think is the most significant data point this election and it is the sustained, dramatic domination of the recent voter registration in virtually all states that we can track. Just the latest? Pennsylvania: in the last two weeks, Rs have added 33,224 new voters while the Ds only added 21,236. The point isn't that Rs will erase the D lead---they won't---but in a fairly narrow election, Rs have more than eliminated the difference between Trump and Rutabaga in 2020. In terms of early ballot requests, Rs are down 55,000 (14.8%) so far from 2020, but Ds are down 303,000 (27.5%) from 2020. The actual numbers are staggering given that Rutabaga "won" by 80,000 in PA. Right there is the election, even assuming that many Ds won't vote Trump (they will). Also note that the fraud margin is dramatically reduced. By the way, the latest Pennsylvania poll has Trump up 2, a terrible sign for Cackles as it means he may be up 4.
3) But that's not all: overnight numbers from Maricopa Co., Arizona show continued gains of Rs over Ds there, now with a margin just in the county of 163,085. An interesting fact is that the voter rolls were purged since 2020 of non-existent people, dead people, and DemoKKKrats (but I repeat myself) and while some 32,000 Rs were purged, 100,000 Ds were purged. So the GOP made up an additional 68,000 on the rolls (supposedly, of living people). Keep your eye on these voter registration stats, as they will matter even before November. As if to add an exclamation point, Insiider Advantage's PA poll has Trump up 1, while Trafalgar has him has him up about 2 in PA and GA.
4) Maybe that's why CNN's Harry Enten warns that Cackles already is polling in the "danger zone."
5) Pigs are truly flying. Chris Cuomo sincerely apologized to President Trump. Wow.
