They’re entitled to elections by the established rules, no more nor less. In a TV interview with CNN reporter Dana Bash, whackadoodle candidate Kari Lake said, “The real issue, Dana, is … we have Americans who don’t trust our elections.” (See story here.) No, that isn&#[...]

Who do you believe, Michael Moore, or the polls?
Democrats couldn’t believe it when Michael Moore (photo, left) predicted (here) that Trump would win the 2016 election. Even after Trump won, Democrats still couldn’t believe their eyes, and struggled with believing what Moore had told them (“millions are going to vote for Trump n[...]
Who would you vote for?
The kind, friendly pastor? Or the football player who suffered so many concussions he can’t remember how many children he has? For Republican voters, this is easy: The guy with the “R” after his name. It’s about power, not character. Their candidate in this race has none. He&[...]

Could Boebert lose her seat?
She’s already lost her restaurant (see story here). Now a new poll shows her seat in Congress may be in jeopardy, too. A month from the election, Raw Story trumpets (here) that she’s “dangerously close to being upset by a little-known Democratic rival, as a new poll from Keating Re[...]

Why would a doctor say schools make kids pee in “litter boxes”?
Because he’s a candidate, that’s why. Scott Jensen (photo, left) isn’t a stupid man. He’s a man who wants to get elected governor of Minnesota, and because he’s running as a Republican, he thinks he has to say stupid things. Jensen, 67, grew up in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota.[...]

Arizona secretary of state debate (video)
This office supervises elections in Arizona. It is being vacated by Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, who’s running for governor. The candidates are Mark Finchem (R), a Capitol rioter and election denier (see profile here), and Adrian Fontes (D), a former Maricopa County recorder (see profile here). Th[...]

GOP candidate exaggerated his military service
Are we still surprised when a Republican politician is caught lying? I’m not, it’s so routine now. I have a theory about why Republicans lie so much, that goes like this: They think they’re on a Mission From God to “save America” from liberal heathens (who behave like [...]

Louisiana Republicans go Taliban on abortions
A GOP bill is moving through the Louisiana legislature that defines abortion as “murder” and will send women to prison for life, with no exceptions for rape or even saving the life of the mother. It also would imprison doctors for destroying in-vitro fertilization embryos, and ban Plan B[...]
