A new Quinnipiac University survey of likely voters in North Carolina finds Vice President Kamala Harris leading convicted felon former President Trump 49 to 46 percent, same as a SurveyUSA poll of the state put out just hours earlier on Monday. In better news for Trump, Quinnipiac separately found the fat fuck leading Harris in Georgia 49 to 45 percent among likely Peach State voters.

In the gubernatorial race, Dem Attorney General Josh Stein receives 51 percent support to obese right wing psychopath porn addict Republican Lt Governor Mark Robinson’s 41 percent support, Libertarian Party candidate Mike Ross receives 2 percent support, and Green Party candidate Wayne Turner and Constitution Party candidate Vinny Smith each receive 1 percent support.

Finally Morning Consult finds Harris leading Trump 49 to 46 among likely voters nationally and by the same margin in the Blue Wall states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, while they’re tied at 48 each in Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina. Trump leads Harris 49 to 47 in Arizona.

Michigan’s state Supreme Court on Monday overturned an intermediate appellate court ruling removing brainwormed independent candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr from the ballot.

As for the other two swing states where Bobby’s trying to get off: Wisconsin is still TBD but not terribly likely to succeed, in North Carolina an appellate court did order election officials to remove him – this is where he actually had a weaker case because the absentee ballots were already being printed and just about to be mailed out – but we’ll see where the state Supreme Court lands on this.

God asked for his voice stand-in back on Monday morning, as iconic actor James Earl Jones passed away at the age of 93 at his home in Dutchess County, New York, Deadline reports.

A new SurveyUSA/WRAL poll of North Carolina voters finds Vice President Kamala Harris leading convicted felon former President Trump 49 to 46 percent, a marginal improvement from the 1 percent lead the same pollster found August 22nd. The gubernatorial race numbers were either not polled or – much more likely – were held for a later article to be printed separately.

Harris had a +4 favorability rating overall – with 50 percent viewing her favorably and 46 percent viewing her unfavorably. Minnesota Gov Tim Walz, had a +5 favorability rating, with 40 percent viewing him favorably, 35 percent viewing him unfavorably and the rest not having an opinion.

Trump had a negative 9 favorability rating overall – with 44 percent viewing him favorably and 53 percent viewing him unfavorably. Running mate JD Vance is 6 percent underwater, with 35 percent viewing him favorably, 41 percent viewing him unfavorably and the rest not having an opinion.

An unidentified Florence, South Carolina man knew it was one green mamba, two gaboon vipers, one fer-de-lace, one death adder, one eastern diamondback rattlesnake, two black forest cobras, two adult rattlesnakes (species unknown), two neotropical rattlesnakes, one small rattlesnake (species unknown), and one inland taipan when he took them in, and one of them bit him, according to WBTW, citing a police report. He knew they were venomous but he took them in anyway.

Cops took the snakes and two cats too. The man was hospitalized but his condition was unknown.

“The Justice Department announced today that Dallas Humber, 34, of Elk Grove, California, and Matthew Allison, 37, of Boise, Idaho – leaders of the Terrorgram Collective, a transnational terrorist group – were charged with a 15-count indictment for soliciting hate crimes, soliciting the murder of federal officials, and conspiring to provide material support to terrorists. Humber and Allison were arrested on Friday by law enforcement officials. According to the indictment, which was unsealed today, Humber and Allison are the leaders of the Terrorgram Collective, a transnational terrorist group that operates on the digital messaging platform Telegram, where it promotes white supremacist accelerationism: an ideology centered on the belief that the white race is superior; that society is irreparably corrupt and cannot be saved by political action; and that violence and terrorism are necessary to ignite a race war and accelerate the collapse of the government and the rise of a white ethnostate,” says a Justice Department press release posted Monday.

“The indictment alleges that Humber and Allison, as leaders of the Terrorgram Collective, contributed to and disseminated several videos and publications that provide specific advice for carrying out crimes, celebrate white supremacist attacks, and provide a hit list of ‘high-value targets’ for assassination. The hit list included US federal, state, and local officials, as well as leaders of private companies and non-governmental organizations, many of whom were targeted because of race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Humber and Allison are alleged to have operated Terrorgram channels and group chats, where they solicited Terrorgram users to commit attacks in order to achieve Terrorgram’s goals of accelerationism and white supremacy and provided instructions and guidance to equip Terrorgram users to carry out those attacks.”

Not sure how much more time we want to spend on this. Actually we don’t want to spend ANY time on it but our esteemed representatives in Congress and their allies in the right wing media can’t let it go. The claim about the Haitian migrants eating ducks you saw a few hours ago but it turns out the cat got conflated from a video of a crackhead in Ohio killing and eating a cat last month.

“Comrade Kamala Harris goes to an ultra Left Wing, Trump Hating, spice shop, which I hear has terrible, overpriced product, and calls for ‘unity.’ As people begin to realize that she is a Marxist, FAR MORE LIBERAL than Crazy Bernie Sanders, or even Elizabeth ‘Pocahontas’ Warren, her poll numbers are beginning to crash. Who are they going to put in next? How about a Biden comeback?” posted convicted felon former President Trump on Monday, using Harris visiting some spice shop in Pittsburgh as his segue into wishing for Joe Biden to be his general election opponent once again.

It’s not in eusocial insects’ nature to comprehend that firefighters are there to help in an emergency, their brains simply aren’t evolved enough to understand duty and altruism and all that.

Especially if they’re on fire, when all threats to the hive real or imagined must be stung, as happened to a crew from CalFire last week, according to the Modesto Bee (no relation). Firefighters responded to a small brush fire on Sonora Road in east Stanislaus County which had started in an apiary. The beekeepers had accidentally ignited it when using a smoker to scare the bees out of their hive boxes in order to gather honey. The fire was put out fairly quickly and only a few on the firefighters were stung by flaming bees. The apiary lost about $40,000 worth of bees and honey in the incident.

New Hampshire Gov Chris Sununu sprang into action on Sunday during a lobster roll eating contest after a competitor suddenly began showing signs of distress, choking on a piece of crustacean meat until the governor swept in and dislodged it with the Heimlich maneuver, the Daily Beast reports.

The Republican – who knows a thing or two about choking given his record during Sunday morning show appearances this year – was on stage helping to officiate the annual Hampton Beach Lobster Roll Eating Competition when eater Christian Moreno choked under the spotlight. Moreno didn’t even know who had saved him until after. “My counter came up to me and, like, made a joke. And was like, ‘Oh, like, I bet nobody else can say that they’ve gotten the Heimlich from the governor before. And I looked at him, was just like, that was, that was the governor?” the man told WMUR.

Moreno was able to consume nine lobster rolls during the contest, seven of them after the choking incident, which impressed Sununu. It was not enough to win the competition however.

Well here’s something approximating a resolution to what we’d been curious about earlier as to what color the ducks allegedly being killed and eaten by Haitian migrants in Ohio were. Turns out they are white, at least in the AI-generated images posted by the House Judiciary Committee Twitter account as operated by Jim Jordan. We weren’t up to speed on the cats getting eaten too though.

“The Court’s six Republican-appointed justices upended our constitutional landscape with their misguided ruling in Trump v United States. This dangerous decision immunizes presidents who commit crimes, no matter how serious, as long as they claim their offenses were ‘official acts.’ The far-right justices responsible for this decision like to claim that they are guided by ‘textualism’ or ‘originalism,’ but the reality is that they’re engaged in judicial activism unmoored from the text of the Constitution and intentions of our framers, and Congress cannot turn a blind eye to it. This Supreme Court decision goes to the heart of our democracy,” says the Senate Judiciary Committee in a statement announcing a September 24th hearing on convicted felon former President Trump getting a blank check to build a dictatorship in the Supreme Court’s decision on Trump v US.

“During this upcoming hearing, we will examine the breadth of future misconduct that may be immunized from prosecution, consider the unprecedented nature of this immunity in American history, and discuss legislative solutions to the dangers of this decision. The Senate Judiciary Committee will not tolerate these justices cherry-picking their way through text and history to impose their own extreme vision of presidential power on the American people.”

Sources inside what little remains of the Ronna Not-Romney McDaniel-led Republican National Committee organization – as it existed prior to the March house cleaning and transformation into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trump 2024 campaign – tell the Guardian that the campaign’s ground operation in the swing states is in very bad shape, not just relative to Vice President Kamala Harris’s but to the point where it’s more comparable to a midterm election than a presidential year.

The RNC had planned to put 90 full-time staffers on the ground in Pennsylvania, a turnout effort that was scrapped in favor of focusing on “election integrity” while letting groups like Elon Musk’s America PAC, Turnout for America (the one that’s now hiring paid canvassers), Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point Action, and America First Works, all of them starting late when it takes multiple contacts to get a voter to turn in a ballot. Harris’s team meanwhile has at least 375 staffers in Pennsylvania alone.

Team Orange are betting big on their “Trump Force 47” plan, which incentivized fans to become “captains” with a special limited-edition gold MAGA hat by getting at least 10 low-propensity voters to turn out for the fat bastard in the primary. The old RNC leftovers remained skeptical then and still are, noting that Trump’s national turnout in the primaries fell short of 2020 and that people were just trying to do the bare minimum to get the gold MAGA hats rather than actually rack up enthusiasm for Donald. “If the Trump campaign pulls it off, it will be the model for all campaigns going forward. If it fails, it will be the fault of [Trump 2024 political director] James Blair,” one former RNC staffer said.

A conflagration dubbed the “Lava Fire” has consumed at least 2,493 acres and prompted evacuations across Gem County, Idaho, KTVB reports on just one of several infernos raging across the Potato State but one whose name possibly implies a greater danger than a simple wildfire.

We don’t have information just yet specifically on why it’s called the Lava Fire, but based on the ad hoc system used in the United States – as detailed in this blog post by firefighting command management software vendor RedZone – the naming typically comes on the fly by a dispatcher and is drawn from a nearby geographic feature. So we’ll hazard that, Idaho being a state with numerous active/dormant volcanic features, the “lava” refers to the site of an ancient eruption near where the fire started rather than it having been ignited by actual molten lava pouring out of a fissure.

It certainly works better than the “Camp Fire,” the now-second deadliest inferno of the 21st century that laid waste to the city of Paradise, California in 2018, killing 85 people trapped by the wind-driven flames. Truth be told very few if any had to be aware of the name at the time but it still kind of sounds like people roasting marshmallows and telling ghost stories than a killer fire. The name simply came from the dirt path nearest to where it started: Camp Creek Road in Pulga, California.

The other active fires listed on KTVB’s live blog page include the Boulder, Snag, Dollar, Table, Red Rock, Black Eagle, and Goat Fires, the last one sounding kind of vaguely unthreatening too.

Notorious invertebrate Nikki Haley on Monday told Fox and Friends that she “respects” Liz Cheney calling ripping her a new asshole for being such a worm and trying to sell voters on making it a “substance not style” thing. And then Haley continued lamenting Trump and Jaydee’s misogyny.

“Hvaldimir,” the white Beluga whale suspected of being a Russian-trained spy – on account of being strapped with a camera-mounted harness that said “Equipment St Petersburg” in Cyrillic – probably died from choking on a stick rather than any foul play, Norwegian cops have determined after examining the marine mammal’s corpse that turned up in a fjord last week, Reuters reports.

“The autopsy showed that its stomach was empty. In addition, most organs had broken down. There is nothing in the investigations that have been carried out to establish that it is human activity that has directly led to Hvaldimir’s death,” police said, adding the stick they found in his mouth was 14 inches long by about 1.2 inches wide and that the whale’s stomach was empty. They’re not 100 percent sure Hvaldimir died from the stick or what but since they ruled out any human cause there’s no crime and thus they won’t be investigating further, leaving it to marine biologists to figure it out.

Sources inside North Carolina’s Republican establishment tell NOTUS they’ve all but given up on MAGA psychopath Lt Gov Mark Robinson’s gubernatorial bid over weak polling numbers and a constant stream of bad press about his degenerate ways. “For Robinson to win, he will need to be on offense for a consistent period or for Trump to considerably overperform his 2016 margin,” said Republican strategist Doug Heye, who long warned that Robinson would be toxic in a general election. “Not impossible, but neither of those seem likely,” Heye continued, with his assessment of the race against Dem Attorney General Josh Stein, who holds a massive cash advantage.

“I said this would happen over and over again, and so I don’t know why it’s a surprise to people. He can’t moderate his positions now because, at this point, the average voter has a decidedly set opinion about him. And the hits keep coming,” said 2024 GOP gov primary loser Bill Graham.

“As far as for swing voters, there was little to no definition for Mark Robinson coming out of the primary, and the Josh Stein campaign has done a very effective job of defining him to that universal swing voter first,” said Republican strategist Paul Shumaker, who backed Graham’s bid.

Robinson himself seemed to acknowledge the predicament two weeks ago, saying “if nothing changes on the fundraising front, not only do we risk losing this race, but the White House too,” in an acknowledgement that the mythical “reverse coattails” effect could come true in the Tar Heel state.

Not sure if milkshake abortion guy propagating this story about Haitian invaders eating people’s ducks in Ohio really resonates if he can’t specify the colors of the ducks’ feathers. Like if they were white then it’s a serious problem and would absolutely galvanize Caucasian voters into fearing that they too could have their heads cut off and their fatty flesh consumed in a honey soy and ginger sauce. If the ducks are the more common mix of darker, natural colors like the sexually dimorphous mallards encountered far more frequently in the wild then it probably won’t land so well. That’s probably why this “EndWokeness” dickbag didn’t show any footage of the ducks getting killed.

“Less than two months until the election, 72 percent of Jewish voters back Kamala Harris, while only 25 percent support Donald Trump. Nearly all – 91 percent – of Jewish voters are concerned about antisemitism in the United States, and Jewish voters trust Kamala Harris more than Donald Trump to fight antisemitism by nearly a three- to-one margin (60 percent-23 percent). Harris’s lead over Trump by a 47-point margin (72 percent – 25 percent) is an improvement from Biden’s 41-point margin among Jewish voters in April (67 percent -26 percent) when compared to an April poll of Jewish voters conducted by the Jewish Electorate Institute (JEI),” says a press release from the Jewish Democratic Council of America via the Forward’s Jake Kornbluh. So it’s technically a partisan poll but it’s also not far off from the 77 percent of Jewish voters Joe Biden got in 2020.

Per Kornbluh, the survey also found Israel ranking as only the 9th most important issue, 87 percent of respondents support the Biden admin’s efforts to reach a hostage-ceasefire deal, and that Israeli dictator Benjamin Netanyahu has a 30 percent job approval rating among American Jews.
