So regarding the SPLC funding Neo-Nazis to generate bad press for Republicans, have they donated to Maine Democrat Graham Platner, the guy with the Nazi tattoo, yet?

Linking to PJ Media, but the quote is from X: ""UPDATE on referendum lawsuits: The Tazewell Circuit Court just ruled the referendum unconstitutional. The Judge entered an injunction blocking certification of the election & denied a motion to stay pending appeal."

Of course, there will be multiple appeals and any number of Democrat politicians before cameras and microphones.

The Atlantic's Kash Patel Hit Job Was a Setup to Discredit SPLC Indictment

Laurene Powell Jobs owns The Atlantic. Well, guess what? The SPLC is Laurene Powell Jobs' favorite charity. In fact, the very first one she gave money to. It is the only charity she talks about supporting publicly.

How are all those former US AID workers doing now? It seems the ones mentioned in the NYT's article haven't learned much

I'm not a PR guy geek person, but I'm not so sure that just spending more on advertising and PR would have addressed this: We Lost the Va. Redistricting Fight With Stupid Tactics — and We’re Making the Same Mistake With Iran

That seems very much like a zero-sum game, and I don't believe in those for the most part. Not to mention, have we heard of any hijinks with the votes, either vote buying or mail-in votes?

The entire election system needs to be burnt to the ground. Burn the districting, burn the voter rolls, burn how elections are run and counted.

It all can be fixed. But no one in power wants to fix it because it would take away their power and return it to the people.

With all the focus on fraud the foxes guarding the hen house are doing an "audit".

$13M missing: Seattle leaders call attention to 'egregious' regional homelessness audit

My guess is the fraud is far, far worse and the Homeless Industrial Complex is tossing this out as the shiny squirrel to keep people from digging further.
