1) I'm going to say of this poll what I say of polls I don't like: I don't trust it. This national generic poll has Republicans up 4%. But, it doesn't matter because voter registrations confirm more this poll than others.


 

2) The lead attorney under Rutabaga for the Pipebomber case pressured the Proud Boys for years to lie about Trump's (non) involvement.


 

3) Our friend Shipwreckedcrew explains the Somali fraud problem. Via contracts with schools and the gubment to provide lunches, various products including meats had to come from NGOs. Believe it or not Scott Johnson and Powerline has been on this story since 2018. These NGOs had to be located in po neighborhoods where at least 50% of the kids were getting freebies.


 

4) I have posted most of these separately, but Seth Keshel does a good job of summarizing the most important voter registration numbers, and they ALL look good for Rs. NC will be a red state within two months at most. PA may be red by 2028. GOP margins are growing everywhere.

It's top pipeline operates at just 17% capacity. And President Trump put an end to the state's goofball EV mandate, which is a problem because Kollyfornia has put most of its eggs in the failing EV basket, er, socket. Since Trump just killed Rutabaga's preposterous CAFE standards, Kollyfornia will be particularly hard hit. Rutabaga was on a demented jihad to eliminate gas-powered cars in America.


 

6) Roger Kimball argues that Trump's influence is only growing. He will truly go down as one of the great men in history. (Horace Walpole once wrote that only great men---not good ones---can change history because they are willing to do what must be done.)
