A Michigan county elections official and former township clerk was charged with ballot tampering related to the August 2020 primary election, according to state Attorney General Dana Nessel.
Kathy Funk, who was running in 2020 as a Democrat for reelection as Flint Township clerk, also was charged with misconduct in office, Nessel said. The charges, which are both felonies, each carry a maximum sentence of five years in prison upon conviction.
Nessel alleged that Funk purposely broke a seal on a container for ballots so that the votes couldn’t be totaled during an anticipated recount. She narrowly won reelection in the unofficial count, the attorney general’s office said.

The New York Times hired Morning Consult, a polling firm usually associated with Politico, to ask people where inflation hits hardest. It was a pretty good piece of journalism.
The story said, "when asked which of the price increases have caught their attention, many mentioned necessities like gas, milk, ground beef and bread — a notably different universe of products than the narrower set of items, like used cars and raw lumber, that were soaring in price last spring."
(snip).
From the Times story:
“A car battery costs almost two times as much.”
“Bacon is as expensive as filet mignon used to be.”
“Cold cereal has gone up, and the box has shrunk.”

President Donald John Trump fixed the courts. The Supreme Court is now 6-3 conservative. This means we no longer have to rely on the chief justice's weathervane to protect the Constitution. The lower courts are better, and another round of appellate court appointments with a Republican Senate and Republican president should remove most of the remaining stain of the judiciary that Obama made.
Now to make good use of the Trumpian Court.
Republicans need to vet, recruit, and prepare for battle about 1,000 lawyers for service beginning January 20, 2025.
I am not saying we should take winning in 2024 for granted. Far from it. Republicans will need to battle for every ballot

At the outset of his newly published memoir, One Damn Thing After Another, former Attorney General William Barr recalls his concern about President Trump’s claim that the 2020 election had been “stolen” through voting “fraud.”
“There’s always some fraud in an election that large,” Barr explains, and “there may have been more than usual in 2020.” (snip).
As he winds down the memoir, Barr charts President Trump’s many successes: tax reform, deregulation, the strongest and most resilient economy in American history, unprecedented progress for many marginalized Americans,(snip)
If Trump had just exercised “a modicum of self-restraint, moderating even a little of his pettiness,” he would have won.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on Thursday signed a constitutional carry bill into law that allows permitless concealed carry in the Yellowhammer State.
Alabama House Bill 272, also known as the Constitutional Carry Bill, eliminates certain restrictions on concealed carry of pistols and transporting a handgun in a private vehicle.
The bill also established a $5 million fund to offset the revenue loss of local governments.
The bill was sponsored by state Rep. Shane Stringer and cosponsored by 36 other Republicans in the state House.
The new law will go into effect on Jan. 1 when Alabama will become the 22nd constitutional carry state.

I continue to be somewhat dumbfounded that some conservatives seem to believe that Vladimir Putin is their enemy. Tucker Carlson last night explained masterfully that the real enemy of the America we grew up in(snip) s coming from our ruling class. While the roots of this war on the American middle class run deep, the pace of the rape and pillage of America—morally as well as financially—accelerated in virtually exponential fashion in 2008.(snip)Tucker begins by explaining the extraordinary undeclared war the Zhou administration has put in motion against a nuclear power, without any semblance of consultation with the nation. How does that work in a constitutional republic?

Tested on the Omicron variant, ivermectin outperformed 10 medications, including one approved for emergency use. Early treatment can lower hospitalization, mortality and symptoms of long COVID.
At nearly no other time in history has there been this level of fear generated across the world (snip) The depth and breadth of the strategies used to stoke those fears has been overwhelming.
Emergency use authorizations for drugs that have not proven to be effective in trials, public mask mandates (snip) and the suppression and censorship of health information (snip)
many of the early effective treatment strategies that can be used at home have also fallen victim to censorship. Ivermectin is one of those

After receiving her first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, Li Jun’s 4-year-old developed a fever and coughs, which quickly subsided after intravenous therapy at the hospital. But after the second shot, the father could tell something was wrong.
Swelling appeared around his daughter’s eyes and did not go away. For weeks, the girl complained about pains on her legs, where bruises started to emerge seemingly out of nowhere. In January, a few weeks after the second dose, the 4-year-old was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
“My baby was perfectly healthy before the vaccine dose,” Li (an alias), from China’s north-central Gansu Province, told The Epoch Times.

The European Parliament overwhelmingly voted Thursday to withdraw funding from Hungary and Poland over the two countries refusing to bow to the bloc’s pro-LGBT stance.
Members of the European Parliament (MEP) passed the resolution by a huge 478 votes in favor to 155 against, with 29 abstentions, to withhold funding from European Union (EU) member states that violate the “Rule of Law Conditionality Mechanism.”
The mechanism “makes the receipt of financing from the Union budget subject to the respect by the Member States for the principles of the rule of law,” effectively making any funding from the bloc subject to alignment with the EU’s core “values” of the day, including LGBT

A top Senate Republican is seeking to delay Eric Garcetti’s nomination to serve as President Joe Biden’s ambassador to India, pending an investigation into whether the mayor of Los Angeles lied when he told a congressional panel he was unaware of sexual harassment and assault allegations against his closest adviser.
Investigators in Sen. Chuck Grassley’s (R-Iowa) office are probing what Garcetti knew of longtime political adviser and City Hall confidant Rick Jacobs’ inappropriate behavior toward women and men in and around City Hall. They have also spoken to whistleblowers about the matter. And according to a document obtained by POLITICO, they have asked Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to try

The Harris County elections commissioner is resigning after 10,000 uncounted ballots for last week’s primary were discovered, according to an announcement posted online on Monday.
“Today I am submitting my resignation, effective July 1,” Isabel Longoria said in the announcement. “I think this date ensures that there is a presiding officer during the May and June elections and allows the election commission the time they need to find a replacement. I remain committed to the office and its mission and hope to aid in defeating harmful rhetoric to ensure successful elections in the future.”
It’s not clear exactly why Longoria was resigning.
