Let's see.

Turns out Doug Emhoff isn't just a babysitter impregnator and pregnancy terminator. He's also a chick beater.

RFK Jr. now has all his extra-marital activities on prime display such that his wife is now contemplating divorce since she's been made out to be the village idiot.

Donald Trump's wife has come out for abortion (the only issue that Democrats used to have). Now Republicans can campaign on that.

That should about wrap up the October surprises, no?

Guess they're just gonna have to murder him.

Dixcus said...

Trump seems to be not under arrest this evening. Now why would that be if the judge has unsealed some heretofor unknown "crimes?"

Lucien said...

So it turns out that the prosecution has detailed accusations that are consistent with its generalized accusations. So?

165 pages of Jack Smith going “nuh=uh” to SCOTUS ruling.

Inga said...

“Make them riot. Do it” Trump campaign staffer, during 2020 vote count.

“The filing said that when the co-conspirator was told that a batch of votes appeared to be heavily in favor of Biden, he replied, ”find a reason it isn’t,” so as to “give me options to file litigation,” adding, “even if it [is].”

When a colleague suggested to the co-conspirator that this could risk creating a scene reminiscent of the so-called “Brooks Brothers Riot” — an infamous bid to interfere with Florida’s vote-counting effort in the 2000 presidential election — the co-conspirator “responded, ‘Make them riot’ and ‘Do it!!!,’” according to the filing.”

No wonder Trump is desperate to keep this stuff suppressed.

Anyone notice which state is not being talked about as regards problems from Helene? Let me help. It’s Florida, and anyone remember who the governor is? Oh, it’s DeSantis, the uncharismatic, boring guy who’s too short to be president. He also happens to be the one who knows how to lead, organize, plan and stage for an emergency. Anyone who has had the opportunity to observe him during and after a hurricane has seen real leadership and competence in a dire situation. The doubting fools who frequent this website who slandered him owe the folks in GA, SC, NC and TN an apology. What utter effin fools!!

Years ago, someone (possibly Ben Stein) said he knew quite a few people who had personally seen Richard Nixon walk on water, before Watergate, and personally seen him pulling wings off flies, after Watergate.

Is it my imagination or are there more August, September, and October surprises than normal. They seem to be coming from both sides of the aisle.
Rather than an election, are we witnessing a power struggle within our permanent bureaucracy? Is it a fight between the old guard and the younger crowd? I’m going to guess the old guard is Clintons, Bidens, Google, the Soviet/Iranian experts, teachers union. Trump is the change agent with support from the anti EU contingent. The new guard is Vance, Thiel, maybe the Arab experts. There has to be more to the new guard - factions in the FBI, CIA.

I got to go and see 'Megalopolis' (2024) on the big screen.

When everything is upside down, bad reviews are the best kind.
I figure all the superlatives means it must be something nobody has seen, and therefore it's treated like an anathema, heresy.

Maybe we have been inured to the same movies for so long, we may have forgot what is like to see something new.

Mutaman said...

"Hearsay from a staffer is now evidence? You corrupt lying a-holes never stop."

As Althouse will advise you Sparky, an out of court statement made by a party is an admission-its an exception to the hearsay rule, and its admissible.

These are the kinds of post we have to deal with from graduates of Trump University Law school.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Via X: "NEW: In a new, heavily redacted DHS Inspector General report, the IG finds that “CBP, ICE, and TSA did not fully assess risks associated w/ releasing noncitizens without ID into the U.S. and allowing them to travel on domestic flights.”

Key finding: “Under current processes, CBP and ICE cannot ensure they are keeping high-risk noncitizens without identification from entering the country. Additionally, TSA cannot ensure its vetting and screening procedures prevent high-risk noncitizens who may pose a threat to the flying public from boarding domestic flights.”"

Looks like "NEVER AGAIN" has been cancelled without even a peep from... anybody.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

The Independent - a British online newspaper. (Althouse was right, you have to go to foreign sources to find out what's going on here at home)

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Mind you, 9/11 was recent enough to still have ceremonies. So... and we created a new department from scratch called "Homeland Security". What in the blazing saddles name is going on in our country?

Did I think of Blazing Saddles because of Obama there?

Am I racist? (another movie i got to see, but maybe not in theaters, it's something probably too tedious to force watch in one sitting)

No. I didn’t put Trump in the younger crowd.

Now we know why Didi's goose is getting cooked now... after all this time.

Eva Marie said...

In other words, I don’t think Trump has an interest in simply switching one bureaucracy for another.

There's a reason the Know Nothings never link to support their posts. The IG made 5 recommendations to improve Vetting procedures and "DHS concurred with all five recommendations".

Mayorkas warns FEMA doesn’t have enough funding to last through hurricane season (AP)

"The Federal Emergency Management Agency can meet immediate needs but does not have enough funding to make it through the hurricane season, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters Wednesday.

The agency is being stretched as it works with states to assess damage from Hurricane Helene and delivers meals, water, generators and other critical supplies. The storm struck Florida last week, then plowed through several states in the Southeast, flooding towns and killing more than 160 people.

Mayorkas was not specific about how much additional money the agency may need, but his remarks on Air Force One underscored concerns voiced by President Joe Biden and some lawmakers earlier this week that Congress may need to pass a supplemental spending bill this fall to help states with recovery efforts.

“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” Mayorkas said. “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.”

Hurricane season runs June 1 to Nov. 30, but most hurricanes typically occur in September and October.
"

Where has all the funding gone? Here's one program:
Emergency Food and Shelter Program

"The Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) National Board allocates funding to jurisdictions (counties and cities) around the country. These funds support local social service organizations dedicated to feeding, sheltering and providing critical resources to people experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, homelessness or hunger. These funds are for people with non-disaster related emergencies and can be used for a broad range of services."

$425 million went to this program last year.

Jury's still out. Precious little information is getting out because the whole region is still chaotic from the disaster. I don't expect the news agencies are being allowed in at this point, so all we have is varying reports from the survivors. There are still people asserting that Federsl officials are 'diverting' supplies that didn't go through channels. I don't know, and neither do you. That's why I called them allegations.

Your Alinsky mind tricks don't work on me.

You moron. It's not evidence unless it meets one of the exceptions to the "Hearsay Rule".

Here's the definition of hearsay: "A non-judicial statement offered into court as evidence of the TRUTH of the matter asserted therein."

Tell us which exceptions to that definition apply here, allowing those statements to be admissible.

FullMoon said...

LOL. Dinky and Muta are doing their best, but they will not live long enough to even be considered in the same class of shit-stirrers as Inga. Dinky amd Muta post paragraphs and pages hoping to get some attention. Inga can post two sentences and generate an avalanche of replies.
Go back and look at Althouse postings and comments for the past 15 years.
Love her, or hate her, Inga is the long term queen. While Dinky and Muta may be queens (who knows these days?) they will disappear after the election-unless Trump loses , in which they will gloat for a week or so and be gone.
Inga will persevere, as always, giving we men reason to be appreciative of our wives, no matter what minor faults they have.

The stupidity is just overwhelming.
A statement by an adverse party is called an admission. It is basic exception to the hearsay rule and is admissible.

LOL. Looks like Jack boy is on his way to another spanking by the Supreme Court....but not until after the election, as planned.

Sorry LLR-democratical Rich. The lawfare antics and previous lies and hoaxes of your New Soviet Democratical Party and weaponized judicial system have already poisoned the public well against your newest hoaxes and lies. No one except the die hard morons like P-Inga and gadfly and the other usual suspects even care about this latest "Steele dossier"-like effort.

Drago said...

You have to remember that the second hand hearsay by Cassidy Hutchinson, later absolutely obliterated by direct witnesses, was that Trump launched himself across the entire interior of The Beast presidential limo and tried to gain control of the vehicle to head to the Capital to Lead The Attack!!!

LOL

A completely moronic and Jussie Smollett level lying effort by the dems/Fake Republicans on the Jan 6 fake committee. And guess who at Althouse blog was just the level of moron who believed that second hand obvious lie that could not possibly have any connection to reality?

Our very own P-Inga!

She bought every word of it....and ran with it for months and months and months. Naturally, as soon as the republicans took control of the committed and released the "evidence" the New Soviet Democraticals hadn't gotten around to destroying on purpose, (yes P-Inga, it was your beloved Dems that destroyed the evidence that showcase how they lied in the public hearings), we found the committee had interviewed the orginal secret service agents in The Beast.....and it never happened.

Then the committee interviewed the first hand hearsay "witness" Hutchinson claimed had told her this tale.....his response? Well, you guessed it: it never happened, he hadn't ever been told it had happened, and it was certainly not something he told Hutchinson.

What did the Jan 6 committee do? They let Hutchinson testify to this lie publicly anyway....

....and that's precisely what we have here with the Jack Smith "Steele Dossier", pushing all the BS that the Supreme Court had already booted to the curb...with some Soviet/Maoist mindreading tossed in for good measure.

And which Jussie Smollett sucker is falling for it all again? P-Inga.

What a shocker.

"FEMA was unprepared for the flooding because under Criswell, a DEI hire whose resume included being “the first woman commissioner of New York City Emergency Management”, the agency had shifted from disaster management to DEI disasters.

Goal 1 of FEMA’s Strategic Plan was to “instill equity as a foundation of emergency management”. FEMA’s Objective 1.1 was also not disaster management, it’s to “cultivate a FEMA that prioritizes and harnesses a diverse workforce”. FEMA’s leadership was required to make its priority “integrating diversity, equity, and inclusion in delivering the agency’s mission.”"

People are dying back in the mountains of Western North Carolina, and FEMA will neither help nor get out of the way.

Gospace said...

Below is an excerpt from coffeeandcovid.com with a quick and dirty explanation of where the water came from that did all the damage:
The problem was all the water.

Last year, I reported on the Hunga Tonga undersea volcanic eruption — the most significant climate event in modern history, which you never heard of since corporate media is utterly useless. I included all the evidence in my July, 2023 post “Overheated” (though many of the links have since been deleted or fact-check bombed, it’s all there.). The short version is, a massive underwater volcanic eruption in the South Pacific boiled off literally unimaginable amounts of water, measurably increasing water vapor rates worldwide.

Water in the air (“humidity”) creates heat. So my point in 2023 was about the record hot summer that year. Studies I linked in the article (now very difficult to find) forecast elevated temperatures for years from Hunga Tonga moisture — worldwide.

But there was a bigger concern than a couple degrees of extra temperature: What goes up must come down. All that extra vaporized water has been showing up in recent extreme weather events.

Gorilla hail and record worldwide flooding are both signs of boiled sea water returning to ground. North Carolina’s damage wasn’t because of high wind speeds. Helene had slowed considerably by the time it traveled that far north. No, the worst damage was from floods, rockslides, and mudslides.

In other words, from the water.


Nature every year dwarfs whatever man does to affect the environment. There are active volcanos under the Antarctic floating ice shelf. Seawater under the shelves is getting warmer. Meanwhile- the surface temperature over the continental ice mass is getting colder. What we do causes neither of those things to happen.

Watching the road closures in western NC. There’s been a vast improvement to the assessability to many communities by road. Still a few impassable, but good to see things going in the right direction there. I-40 suffered greatly, won’t be re-opened until September next year, and I-26 not for 8 months or so. These two roads, esp I-40, are critical truck routes. I guess the ILA strike helps there - no containers available to transport /sarc.

I’d like to say I’m weary of the contempt leftie leaders at all levels of government have for me and you and the rest of the voters left and right but to do so implies it is a trend or just a few bad apples that will one day disappear. Without the current SCOTUS all of it would be backstopped…

We’re in SE NC. In our small area alone there must be 10 separate donation hubs run by different entities. Not unreasonable to multiply that by 1000 across NC state alone. That, plus road access improvements give me hope that our neighbors to the west will get what they need this week and in the next few weeks, despite our feckless leaders.

The two migrants suspected of the horrendous crime, Franklin Jose Peña Ramos, 26, and Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, were later taken into custody. These terrible stories are all too common, no matter what Kamala Harris and the Democrats try to tell you, but this case has taken an unexpected turn which makes it all the more enraging, assuming that's even possible. Ongoing investigations have revealed that the alleged perpetrators showed all the signs of being associates of Tren de Aragua, the notorious Venezuelan prison gang. And yet they were both encountered at the Southern border and then released into the country under Joe Biden's open border policies.

Just a Hispanic child raped and murdered by Venezuelan gangbangers. It’s not as though Inga, gadfly, or Mutaman have any reason to care about her.

My elders just came back from Sam’s club- no paper goods a la covid. Supposedly the excuse is the strike. Anyone else seeing that? We had the storm interrupt goods from Publix but this is new…and of course when you can’t trust anything your ‘leaders’ are telling us the notion this is election related must be considered. This is what happens when you violate trust…

I read somewhere, probably Twitter/X so take it for what it's for worth, that paper goods are generally manufactured here, not overseas so there shouldn't be a scarcity.

According to FEMA’s own website they allocated nearly $364 million in the fiscal year 2023 and $650 million for the 2024 fiscal year to the Shelter and Services Program “to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)”

In case you’re a bit on the innumerate side that’s more than a billion dollars that was spent to house illegal immigrants after release from custody, and not there to help dying US citizens in North Carolina.

Inga will persevere, as always, giving we men reason to be appreciative of our wives, no matter what minor faults they have.

LOL. So true.

It's possible they're being routed, for now, to the disaster zones. I've seen TP and paper towels among the necessities listed for donations. That's good.

Hoarders awaiting a price tripling. They must know something.

Inga wrote, “Make them riot. Do it” Trump campaign staffer, during 2020 vote count. This appears to indicate a staffer said it, not Trump. But I didn't read the entire document or any lying leftist accounts of Smith's document dump.

I did read the part where Smith partially quotes Trump (only the unitalicized portion) saying "So what he has Secret Service protection" when [redacted, but it's obviously Mark Meadows] rushes into the dining room to advise Trump that the Capitol crowd was chanting about Pence. A lot of Jack's shitty work product is like this, putting forth salacious gossip to make Trump look bad before the election, but with evidence that is probably not admissible and might be covered by immunity. Smith is completely ignoring the recent SCOTUS ruling and pretending that this is "private" Trump doing and saying thing, not "president" Trump. And like the first filing long long ago, this one relies on Smith's unworldly ability to read Donald Trump's mind and tell the jury Trump's intentions.

As Jonathon Turley has pointed out, a lot of sounds bad if you have proof Trump didn't believe what he was saying. But Smith doesn't have proof of what Trump believes or disbelieves, and with lawyers giving him advise even if the lawyers disagree you cannot prove which theories Trump believed. It should be thrown out by Chutkin but she is a potted plant of judge. So we have to wait for the slow wheels of justice to grind the case down some more.

Inga still believes Juicy Smolette and all the other lies.

Michael K said...

Mutant Man is all over this case like....well that would be nasty.

Michael K said...

No, Mutant Man, you are. By a mile. Inga might even be a little smarter.

Peachy said...

Hearsay and mind-reading are not evidence - you leftist stooge.

Michael K said...

I predicted, A couple of days ago, that the incompetent response by the NC Governor would revive the Robinson campaign and it happening.

Kakistocracy said...

Many of Trump’s staff of Republicans testified against Trump in the grand jury. That is clear.

MadTownGuy said...

Pete Buttigieg announces private drones are RESTRICTED from flying over hurricane areas. This prevents civilian volunteers from locating victims in need or showing footage of the disaster.

I thought Republicans were the ones invoking martial law. Silly me. Why on earth would you not enlist local assistance?

OH OH it looks like Don and Melody may need separate buildings rather than just separate bedrooms with the new WORD from the mother...ormer first lady Melania Trump said in a new video posted Thursday that she believes there is “no room for compromise” when it comes to a woman’s “individual freedom,” after The Guardian reported excerpts from her forthcoming book in which she says she supports abortion rights “free from any intervention or pressure from the government.”
“Individual freedom is a fundamental principle that I safeguard. Without a doubt, there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess from birth: individual freedom. What does my body, my choice really mean?” the former first lady said in a video posted on X.
Her defense of abortion rights puts her at odds with her husband’s position roughly a month from Election Day. Donald Trump regularly takes credit for the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which eliminated federal protections for abortion and led to the enactment of severe restrictions on the procedure in mostly Republican-led states. The former president has said, however, that he would veto a federal abortion ban if he is elected again and that the issue should be left up to the states to legislate.
Melania Trump has been largely absent from the campaign trail amid her husband’s third White House bid and has kept a low profile, except for the release of several videos on social media in recent weeks to promote her book, which is slated to be released next week. The video the former first lady posted Thursday includes a link to pre-order her book.
According to The Guardian, the former first lady writes in her book: “Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body? A woman’s fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes.”
The former president, meanwhile, has waffled on abortion rights over the course of his campaign, struggling at times to navigate an issue that has been politically fraught for Republicans in the post-Roe era. He said recently that he would not support a ballot measure to expand abortion access in his home state of Florida just 24 hours after suggesting he might. He has also taken to casting himself as a “protector” of women, claiming that American women won’t be “thinking about abortion” if he’s elected.
While the former president has boasted about his appointment of three conservative US Supreme Court justices who voted with the majority to overturn Roe, he has publicly acknowledged that the issue has not been a winning one for Republicans pushing for strict bans and has stressed his support for exceptions in the case of rape, incest and when the life of the mother is in danger.
Vice President Kamala Harris and other Democrats, meanwhile, have doubled down on putting abortion at the center of their pitch to women in key states, pointing to the state-level restrictions made possible, in part, by Trump’s high court picks. Harris has enjoyed a clear advantage on the issue, which has helped fuel her lead among female voters nationally and in swing states.
Melania Trump is not the first Republican former first lady to come out in support of abortion rights. Laura Bush, the wife of former President George W. Bush, said before her husband took office that she did not think Roe v. Wade should be overturned. She later said she supported abortion remaining legal in an interview with CNN in 2010 after her husband had left office. Her mother-in-law, Barbara Bush, the wife of former President George H.W. Bush, spoke out against abortion being included in the 1992 GOP platform, saying it was a “personal thing.”

on no not this “Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body? A woman’s fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes.” Repubs are gonna pay for this,SWIFTIES ARE COMING and the women dont take no prisoners.(well most women who care about their own bodies and not what the government or state say)

rehajm said...

That was my first thought- we don’t import kleenex and paper towels. Why Sam’s claims that’s the reason is…suspect.

Michael K said...

The DD idiot does not mention that Trump is also pro-choice but with reasonable limits. Walz lied about his new bill to ignore live births if an abortion was desired.

Gospace said...

It's almost as if they didn't recognize that citizens are the militia...

Big Mike said...

I see no reason why abortion should not be subject to commonsense regulations.

Big Mike said...

The FAA, apparently at the instigation of Translortation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, has closed western North Carolina airspace to rescue flights. The den-Harris administration wants people to die.

john mosby said...

Michael K: the Robinson resorgimento must be why Bootyjudge closed the airspace: to keep out the Black Nazi Luftwaffe (Schwarzwaffe?).
Or maybe it’s the Condom Legion, given his porn proclivity. Either way, can’t have humanitarian airdrops from the ‘wrong’ people.

But will he be able to stop the U-boats of Robinson’s Kriegsmarine?

There’s a porn parody film idea in all that….could be Robinson’s second career if he loses the election…
