Experts say Trump, election deniers eroding trust in democracy. Can it be restored? - ABC News

• An ABC News\Washington Post poll conducted in January -- more than a year after the insurrection -- found only 20% of those surveyed saying they're very confident about the election system. Even fewer Republicans, just 13%, said they were very confident in the process...
• That's in large part due to Donald Trump, Burden and other elections observers said, as well as his GOP allies who continue to emphatically spread falsehoods about the integrity of the 2020 election.
• In fact, 60% of Americans will have an election denier on the ballot this November. Out of 541 total Republican nominees running for office, FiveThirtyEight found 199 who've fully denied the legitimacy of the 2020 election...

'Green Goblin Gang' Of Women Sporting Neon Bodysuits Attack And Rob Teenagers On NYC Subway Train

• While traveling on a Times Square subway train at approximately 2 a.m. Sunday, a crew of six women wearing full neon green bodysuits assaulted and robbed two 19-year-old girls. 
• In the video, you can clearly see the women ganging up on the two girls, and at one point, one of the victims takes several punches to the face, while the other looks to be dragged down to the floor.
• Now, in the more extended version of the video uploaded to YouTube, you see the train is stopped, no transit authority in sight, but there are a ton of bystanders, with only one brave guy stepping in to help...

Politifact's fact' check on Ron DeSantis is bullplop - Louder With Crowder

Politifact's fact' check on Ron DeSantis is bullplop - Louder With Crowder: 

Consider this Exhibit Q on how self-proclaimed "independent" "fact" checkers don't check facts as much as circle the wagons on behalf of Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself). At issue is the desperate attempt to use Hurricane Ian as an excuse to attack Ron DeSantis, which Politifact is happy to help with. Or, try to help. Long story short, leftists and the media (again, I repeat myself) are desperate to turn Hurricane Ian into a "Hurricane Katrina" for DeSantis, where they blame him for the hurricane's destruction. What they are holding on to is Lee County and that the county didn't issue a mandatory evacuation order early enough. DeSantis was quick to shut this down:

A Comprehensive Roundup of Official Energy Madness - From the MANHATTAN CONTRARIAN

• But if you just read these examples one by one, however outrageous they may be individually, you can lose track of the overall picture. In the big picture, our government, aided and abetted by academics and journalists, is conducting a full scale war on the energy sector of the economy...

Turns Out Biden's Empowering of OPEC Was a Really Bad Idea

Turns Out Biden's Empowering of OPEC Was a Really Bad Idea

• Today, the OPEC+ cartel announced it’s going to cut production by 2 million barrels a day. 
• This, even after the Biden administration engaged in a “full-scale pressure campaign,” according to CNN, to dissuade our alleged allies in the Middle East to change their minds.
• As a presidential candidate, Biden called Saudi Arabia a “pariah” state. 

"Biden wagered that he could placate his left wing, curbing fossil fuel production while also holding prices in check by pressuring the Saudis and emptying the U.S. strategic reserve, now at a 40-year low. 

It was a bad bet...

Count on it!

'Conspiracy theory' criticized by NY Times confirmed one day later: CEO of election-software company arrested for allegedly giving poll worker data to communist Chinese government - TheBlaze

'Conspiracy theory' criticized by NY Times confirmed one day later: CEO of election-software company arrested for allegedly giving poll worker data to communist Chinese government - TheBlaze: 

On October 3, the New York Times' Stuart Thompson criticized so-called "far-right election deniers" for a "conspiracy theory" alleging that Konnech, an election software company based in East Lansing, Michigan, had "secret ties to the Chinese Communist Party and had given the Chinese government backdoor access to personal data about two million poll workers in the United States." Thompson, a "misinformation and disinformation" reporter, suggested that these claims, which allegedly made the CEO of the company cry, were used to "raise doubts about the integrity of American elections." The NY Times piece ended in a quote from the company's 51-year-old Chinese-born CEO, Eugene Yu: "They had no interest in the truth. ... The truth is inconvenient."

"In 1965, American radio host Paul Harvey gave an immense warning to the American people about the fate of the nation. 

“We Were Warned: Freedom to Chains” is a short film about the parallels between the warning Harvey gave over fifty years ago, and today with the Socialist influences in government and society.

WATCH: Large Garbage Bag Used To Transfer Stacks of Absentee Ballots From Detroit Drop Box...Is This What SOS Benson Means When She Says MI Elections Were "Most secure in history"?

"...100 Percent Fed Up began working with MC4EI (Michigan Citizens For Election Integrity), who poured through 16,000 hours of video footage to identify potential criminal activity that took place during the 2020 election.

• 
  So far, we’ve been able to share multiple cases of suspicious and possibly criminal activity taking place at several drop box locations. From massive ballot drops of 40-50 ballots by individuals or teams of two individuals to hundreds of people taking photos of their hands dropping ballots into the drop boxes, to Dominion tabulators being delivered to a satellite voting center where top election officials say there are no tabulations taking place, we’ve been able to share a variety of suspicious activities taking place at Detroit satellite voting centers, that if Michigan had a law and order Attorney General or honest Secretary of State, would be under investigation.
• ...As the male retrieves stacks of ballots from the drop box, an older black female is shown pulling a large black garbage bag from the back of the SUV. She brings the bag to the drop box and opens it as the white male begins dumping handfuls of absentee ballots into the black plastic garbage bag.

Do They Think the White House Is a Bank? - Noah Rothman, Commentary Magazine

• ...Tell me how the pandemic justified a $5 million disbursement to Boston’s Edward M. Kennedy Institute. 
• What public health emergency necessitated renovating Colorado Springs’ golf course irrigation systems? 
• Did Seattle need to devote over $28 million to downtown apartments for the city’s homeless population, or was that one of the city’s esoteric “priorities?” 
• Has anyone strapped on green eyeshades and audited L.A. County’s $5 million “creative works” jobs program for the city’s moribund “artists?”

Beyond the fact that cash is fungible (another elementary concept we apparently need to review), these are not the unintended consequences of the Covid relief bill. 

The various relief bills were designed to be oversized, subject to minimal oversight, and nimble enough to plug unanticipated holes wherever they appeared. 

The lack of interest from the press in the abject waste this program produced would be conspicuous enough...
