By my count, there are 60 days until the mid-terms, including today. Team Evil was STILL trying to implement their last-second, complete overhaul changes that just happen to prevent millions of Americans from casting perfectly legitimate ballots – until yesterday. Technically, the election started yesterday, as well, by which I mean ballots are being shipped. People could start sending them back by Monday, right?

I imagine trump supporters – and there are still some – might argue that the 2020 election featured changes late in the game, too. I have to concede that point but then feel compelled to point out that it was not a complete overhaul of the process and the election had not actually started at the time. And there’s still that pesky problem that the constitution grants authority on elections to the states.

So, to summarize, the federal government has no authority to impose the program it’s trying to implement with which it would be impossible to comply anyway. The very BEST they should be able to hope for is, “Okay you can implement your new rules, but for the NEXT election. You’re too late for this one.” And, of course, they still have no authority to implement these new rules so I doubt they could even get that much.

And they haven’t. As of late yesterday, the federal judge overseeing the case, Indira Talwani, ruled in favor of the Constitution – which means against Donny and the USPS. Again. She had to repeat her earlier ruling after Cheat Justice John Roberts stepped in to help his Precious. Her ruling was based on exactly what it should be based upon: the federal government has almost no authority to get involved and, really, it’s too late anyway. Cheat Justice Roberts will have to decline to re-hear the case or rule against plain English wording in the Constitution.

I heard someone describe the latest effort by Donny to cheat with the mail-in ballots as a “Hail Mary.” Be advised, this is not his Hail Mary. This was his 13 seconds left in the game, third-and-long effort. He has one last play and THAT will be his Hail Mary: Widespread accusations – ALL without evidence – of fraud or other election anomalies.

Expect charges to fly, fast and furious, from all over. Claim after claim after claim but no proof. Never any evidence. Expect whatever chicanery Donny and MAGA Mike, the Johnson can dream up. JD Vance would certainly do what Mike Pence refused to do: reject electors and block certification of votes. Be aware that Congress passed a law because of Donny’s deadly ‘Day of Love,’ J6, making clear the Vice President’s role in the process is purely ceremonial.

MAGA Mike, the Johnson might refuse to seat the winners but that will be met with lawsuits and they should be seated eventually. What’s left of MAGA is going to be screaming loudly about “the steal” again. We’ll be treated to all kinds of stories – all anecdotal and without evidence – of “weird” things happening. Thanks to AI, they’ll present photos of ballots tossed into creek-beds insisting they’re discarded conservative ballots and other such bunk.

I honestly believe, the left has no reason to cheat in this election. EVERYBODY is angry at that guy, even MAGA. It’s just that MAGA won’t admit it. Well, not to me, at least. They’re discussing among themselves, though. Decent Americans are just champing at the bit to go out and vote in this election. It’s literally our last chance to save this once-great nation from the disaster that is trump. If you think things have been bad so far, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

The Big Beautiful Bill has some very ugly, very nasty surprises built into it. They’re SO nasty, the GOP made sure they trigger AFTER the election in an effort to protect themselves for the mid-terms. If the left wins, they might be able to stop some of the worst provisions. Maybe the poorest Americans still get to eat, after all. If the left loses, the BBB kicks in at full force – against everyone, MAGA and non-MAGA alike.

So expect the left to come out in force. The numbers should be HUGE, maybe the highest numbers anyone has ever seen. Nobody will have seen numbers that high before. He WILL throw a temper tantrum. THAT will be his Hail Mary and it will be all he has left…

One of the reasons there has been so little movement in the release of the Trump/Epstein files is that many of the men in the files are very, very rich. Take Leon Black. Please. He skipped a deposition with the House Oversight Committee on the topic of his relationship with Epstein. There’s clearly some dollar amount where a person can simply decide if they want to comply with the law or not. That makes it seem like he has something to hide, yes?

In fairness, despite being one of Epstein’s top clients over the years, Black now denies any wrongdoing and says he regrets dealing with Epstein. You know, now that things are coming out. These guys have clever weasel words to get around things. “I didn’t do anything wrong” might mean “I didn’t have sex with underage girls” but, because he’s a billionaire, HE might mean, “I can do no wrong because I’m rich. Begone, peasant.”

Then, Black filed a lawsuit. When his team announced the suit, they said in part, “This is no longer about finding the truth about Epstein. It is about trying to destroy Mr Black.” That’s an interesting take. Perhaps it’s both? Maybe the truth about Epstein just happens to destroy Mr Black. Innocence could be his legitimate defense but hiding behind lawsuits to maintain secrecy isn’t going to convince anybody.

Helpfully, the lawsuit pretends, in part, that Black filed it because he wants to protect the privacy of certain women who have no known connection to Epstein. How considerate. And what a convenience that the men coincidentally protect themselves by “protecting the privacy” of women. Weird. There seems to be a correlation between the number of times one’s name appears in the Trump/Epstein files and the sudden concern for women’s well-being.

Now the committee is pretending they might hold Black in contempt for his refusal to show up. I suspect they won’t for…reasons. The “reasons” usually being, Congress doesn’t want to upset rich people. You know? I think applying laws based on economic position is a trustworthy sign a nation is more corrupt than not. Historically, it has also been a good time to start sharpening up those guillotines…

Wow. Maria Bartiromo is out over at Fox Not-News. No lead-up. Just gone. What did she do, accidentally tell a truth? Actually, word is, she was feeding information about internal network operations to Team Evil. Our inglorious misleader is apparently angry she’s been ousted. She’s been there a LONG time. Now she’s just out? Weird. There are some who say she’s up for the regime’s spokesliar position, replacing KKKarolyin Leavitt, but the nature of her exit seemed cold. The network just announced “She’s gone” and pulled her staff page from the website. She’ll be fine. These cons are like herpes. They always come back…
