Dramatic footage from a driver outside Seward, Alaska as a serious landslide blocks one of the main routes into the resort town south of Anchorage. A number of similar landslides have blocked access into Seward from the south, Alaska Public Radio reports. Officials say it will take at least two weeks to safely reopen the road, barring any new landslides.

Georgia prosecutors have been hearing grand jury testimony from several of the fake electors who signed the Trump 2020 electoral vote certification as part of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s criminal probe into the fat former president’s failed attempt to overturn the election in the state, CNN reports. While the probe is mainly focused on Trump’s “Find 11,780 votes” call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, Willis is also investigating the broader scheme in a bid to find other scumbags to nail to the wall, however the electors, including state GOP chairman David Shafer, were assured that at this time they’re considered witnesses as opposed to targets.

“We’re going to look at anything connected with interference with the 2020 election,” Willis said to CNN’s Anderson Cooper last week. “I’ve allowed that to be a broad scope, not just the (former) President’s phone call that you played there but other things that indicate that there may have been interference with that election, to include fake electorates… That is of interest to my office”

In the continuing free commercial time Truth Social enjoys from the Fox propaganda network–because, really, why have the failing CEO of a failing start-up on the network five times weekly?–Devin Nunes attempts to tell the audience that Truth Social is going to be incredibly fun because it will allow the “millions” of people who have been barred by “the other place” but they can join Truth Social where they’re free to spew vile hatred, lies and conspiracy theories… and you won’t hear bad things about Donald Trump because they’ll delete your account just because they think you’re not brainwashed. They should have just called it The Echo Chamber.

If you had a Smell-o-vision equipped television, your room would reek of desperation right now.

We’ve got a baby formula shortage at home, inflation that is CRUSHING working families and a President that is beholden to nearly all of our adversaries.

I’d say there are a few problems closer to home that we need to solve! https://t.co/XKoVtuxDnS

A sacred victory for Trump-endorsed Nebraska GOP gubernatorial candidate Charles Herbster was stolen Tuesday by Old Crow Mitch McConnell, the RINOs, haters, and socialist Democrats, National Zero reports because no one else in the biased mainstream media will. It’s the crime of the century.

Fraud, just massive fraud in the state of Nebraska. Third world countries have more secure primary elections than Nebraska. It was rife with fraud and irregularities. Just look at what happened in the state. You have these dumps, they call them dumps. Massive dumps of ballots going to Herbster’s opponent, socialist RINO Crooked Jim Pillen late at night, right when the America First patriot strongly endorsed by Trump was getting ready to win this primary election.

Frankly, Herbster did win this primary election. There was just so much fraud. It’s an attack on America, really. Anyone who votes for Sleepy Jim Pillen in November is helping to continue the fraud. It’s treason to waste time voting in an election rigged by RINOs and their radical left allies. Jim Pillen is America last. Soft on crime, soft on election fraud, and soft on the media for allowing these vicious lies about Charles Herbster to spread. It was a massive hoax. None of those women were his type anyway. They were lying because Old Crow Mitch McConnell, a RINO, had something to do with it. His wife is compromised by China. What a stupid son of a bitch. Mitch McConnell is going to cause a disaster in the Midterms by not fighting election fraud and allowing phony ballots from these corrupt Democrat cities to still count. He also was in charge of security for the Capitol on January 6th. Why aren’t bug-eyed Schiffty Schiff and corrupt loser Liz Cheney on the fake WITCH HUNT committee investigating Mitch McConnell for allowing the attack to happen?

The annualized consumer price index increase rate hit 8.3% in April, beating expectations of 8.1% but slightly lower than March’s 40-year high, the Associated Press reports.

Messages obtained by the Denver Post and Politico show that in December 2020 when John Eastman was a visiting professor at University of Colorado-Boulder he used his email account there to communicate with a Republican member of the Pennsylvania House to toss out mail-in ballots and overturn the Orange God Emperor’s defeat before switching to the Jan 6th overturn strategy.

“Having done that math, you’d be left with a significant Trump lead that would bolster the argument for the Legislature adopting a slate of Trump electors – perfectly within your authority to do anyway, but now bolstered by the untainted popular vote. That would help provide some cover” Eastman wrote to Pennsylvania state Rep. Russ Diamond on December 4th while advising him on how to craft the legislation overturning the vote, adding “I would also include after paragraph 3 a specific legislative determination that the slate of electors certified by the governor under the illegally-conducted election are also null and void.” Later that day Diamond parroted the same bullshit back to Eastman after Team Trump had a very bad day in courts far and wide.

“Honestly, the Trump legal team was not exactly stellar at PA’s hearing, failed to provide the affidavits of their witnesses, and made a glaring error by purporting that more ballots had been returned than mailed out. It is for this reason that I so latched onto your comments that actual fraud is irrelevant when the election itself is unlawful,” Diamond wrote.

The resolution went nowhere because, as neither of these insurrectionist pieces of shit appear to be aware, there was no chance of either chamber of the Pennsylvania state legislature convening a session before the end of 2020. The leaders fucking said as much five days earlier. It’s in the state Constitution. Then on December 13th, the eve of the state level electoral certifications, Eastman writes “Why not just assert the right to appoint an alternate slate of electors and have them meet and vote on Monday as well,” showing he was already sewing the seeds of his next plan for the 6th.

A five justice majority of the Supreme Court is locked in on Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion over turning Roe v Wade, Politico reports on a follow up the their bombshell leak of the draft opinion a week after the initial report. While it could be some sort of further bluffing from their source – whom the consensus among smart folk is that it is in fact Alito himself, or he at least sanctioned the leak – to keep the majority intact and prevent a defection to a less draconian option, Politico’s source also says it is the only draft circulating as of this month, with no dissent being floated.

Ending the day with no worse a record than a coin flip, candidates endorsed by Donald Trump split their performances today with a win in a West Virginia House primary and a loss in the Republican Nebraska governor race.

Along with various other sources, the Associated Press has called the Nebraska gubernatorial primaries, with hog farm owner and veterinarian Jim Pillen the winner of the Republican side.  The establishment-endorsed Pillen handily beat the Trump endorsed Charles Herbster, and the race was called around 11 p.m. ET.  More votes will be counted, so await the fraud claims from the Herbster camp because that’s what losing Trump-endorsed candidates will do… besides cry.

On the Democratic side, state legislator Carol Blood easily defeated the competition, taking 88% of the vote.

With 57 Republicans voting against it because <i>something something</i> baby formula, the House of Representatives passed a $40 billion aid package for Ukraine, CNN reports.  Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says the Senate will take up the bill swiftly.

The bill allows for President Joe Biden to ship Ukraine up to $11 billion in available US military equipment and supplies from US stockpiles, and it adds $6 billion  to the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative funding previously approved by Congress.

Republicans resisted supporting the aid package because they’re anti-democratic–for both Ukraine and the United States–but they claimed various reasons such as the US still has homeless veterans, there’s a shortage of baby formula, there’s no way to track how every dollar is spent, and likely someone (Gosar?) believe it was going to fund Nazis.

After playing a clip of Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen noting that reduced access to abortions will have a detrimental effect on the US economy, undeclared Trump advisor and wannabe tough guy Sean Hannity doubled-down on his lies about the revocation of Roe v. Wade, falsely claiming, “There won’t be a loss of abortion access! There might be restrictions in some states but there wonna [sic] be plenty of opportunities for anyoney [sic] who wants one.”

Except that is not true. At least 20 states have laws in place that, upon SCOTUS rescinding Roe, will require most women seeking a pregnancy to travel out of state because they won’t have *access* because of their state’s laws.

In his never-ending effort to indoctrinate children to his political whims, Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has named November 7th as “Victims of Communism Day,” the Washington Post reports.

Given the day chosen, DeSantis likely wanted to have annual opportunities to promote his agenda in state-approved material sent to the schools for the mandated-by-law 45-minute lesson on various communist regimes: “Mao Zedong and the Cultural Revolution, Joseph Stalin and the Soviet System, Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution, Vladimir Lenin and the Russian Revolution, Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, and Nicolás Maduro and the Chavismo movement.”

According to the bill, students should learn “how victims suffered under these regimes through suppression of speech, poverty, starvation, migration, and systemic lethal violence.”

After the Rodent from Rifle Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (Q-Colo.) complained about Democrats trying to censor her–they’re not–Democratic Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin tells it like it is: We’re not interested in censoring other people’s speech. We want the whole world to see how the gentlelady from Colorado speaks. In public. As a member of Congress. We want everyone to look at that.”

A three-year-old child who was killed last September in California died of asphyxiation caused by an exorcism at a fundamentalist church, the Associated Press reports.   The girl’s death has been ruled a homicide, and her mother has been charged in the case.

Arely Naomi Proctor died during a service to “liberate her of her evil spirits,” the church, Iglesia Apostoles y Profetas, told the San Jose Mercury News, which uncovered the information about the child death while researching a story about a kidnapped three-month-old infant who is connected to the church.

Police searched the church looking for the kidnapped infant, who was found at a San Jose apartment unharmed; one of the three people arrested for the kidnapping is connected to the church. 

Pro-life Senator Bob Casey, a Democrat from Pennsylvania stated Tuesday that he would support codification of legal abortion into law through the passage of the Women’s Health Protection Act, the Washington Post reports.

Casey, the son of the namesake Robert P. Casey, the governor or Pennsylvania named in the 1992 Planned Parenthood v. Casey decision that upheld abortion rights, had previously been strongly anti-choice in his campaigns, but said the situation regarding the legal status of abortion had changed since the House passed the WHPA three months ago.

“In light of the leaked Supreme Court decision draft overturning Roe v. Wade, and subsequent reports that Republicans in the U.S. House and Senate will introduce legislation to enact a nationwide six-week ban, the real question of the moment is: do you support a categorical ban on abortion?” Casey said in a statement. “During my time in public office, I have never voted for — nor do I support — such a ban.”

Hardboiled investigative reporting site Bellingcat on Tuesday relayed a questionable claim of responsibility for the Sunday arson attack on the offices of a Madison, Wisconsin anti-abortion organization, saying a usually reliable source had passed them a message from a group calling themselves “Jane’s Revenge”, something far right propaganda site American Greatness eagerly latched onto despite obvious antipathy toward Bellingcat over past reporting on Trump scandals.

After qualifying her sourcing with “Bellingcat is a western intelligence-backed website of alleged investigative journalists based in the Netherlands that targets the ‘far-right’ and runs overseas influence operations intended to ‘weaken Russia,’ including the Russia collusion hoax,” American Greatness’s Debra Heine just went ahead and relayed Bellingcat editor Robert Evans’s reporting unquestioningly, almost certainly out of desperation for any thin reed of hope that the attack was perpetrated by actual leftists and not a false flag by anti-abortion right wingers.

“I believe this statement is newsworthy for a number of reasons, including the fact that a large number of people are speculating that this attack may have been a false flag,” Bellingcat editor Robert Evans writes and is eagerly quoted by Heine despite having described Evans as “western intelligence-backed” just paragraphs earlier. Left out of either Evans or Heine’s reporting is any speculation as to why a supposed pro-choice terrorist group would spray paint an Antifa anti-police slogan on the side of the building if the intent was to send a message about abortion rights.

While in office, fat former President Trump kept asking senior administration officials if the Chinese government had weather control technology and was using it to create the tropical storms to strike the United States, Rolling Stone reports. “It was almost too stupid for words,” said a former Trump official to Rolling Stone. “I did not get the sense he was joking at all.” Trump’s inquiries reportedly became so common that administration officials took to calling it the “hurricane gun” theory.

“I was present [once] when he asked if China ‘made’ hurricanes to send to us,” said a senuor official, adding that Trump “wanted to know if the technology existed. One guy in the room responded, ‘Not to the best of my knowledge, sir.’ I kept it together until I got back to my office… I do not know where the [then-]president would have heard about that… He was asking about it around the time, maybe a little before, he asked people about nuking hurricanes.”
