Lawsuit: Gov. Hobbs Illegally Designated
Arizona Agencies As Voter Registration,
Ballot Drop-Off Sites
Posted By: earlybird, 8/26/2024 7:34:47 PM
Gov. Katie Hobbs’, D-Ariz., unilateral designation of state agencies as voter registration and ballot drop-off locations is unconstitutional, a lawsuit filed Thursday alleges. Brought by Arizona GOP Chair Gina Swoboda and two state voters, the suit challenges the legality of two executive orders issued by Hobbs in November 2023 that authorized “certain new state agencies [to serve] as locations where a person can register to vote and drop off completed ballots.” Among the agencies directed to “make voter registration forms” and other election-related information available are the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation, and Reentry and Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections.

CTH has expressed our concerns previously. I always hope to be wrong about intelligence community connected politicians. That said, I shall be a good team player and hope/pray to be wrong about RFK JR.
Robert F Kennedy Jr is introduced by President Trump at a MAGA rally in Arizona. According to RFK Jr earlier in the day, President Trump promised a position in the Trump administration. From the remarks tonight, I suspect that position offered is FDA Commissioner.
(snip) President Trump heaped effusive praise on Robert F Kennedy as the crowd chanted, “Bobby, Bobby, Bobby!” It was quite an exciting moment in an auditorium filled
The bodies of a British tech tycoon, a Morgan Stanley executive, and five others, including a teenager, have been recovered after the superyacht Bayesian sank off the coast of Sicily on Aug. 19.
What happened, and how could such a huge vessel suddenly go down within sight of the shore?
Who Was on Board and Why?
When a storm struck the superyacht Bayesian, off Porticello, near Palermo, around 5 a.m. on Aug. 19, there were 22 people on board: 12 passengers and a crew of 10.
The passengers included Mike Lynch, the founder and former CEO of software firm Autonomy, his wife Angela Bacares—who was the Bayesian’s legal owner—and their 18-year-old daughter Hannah.
Larry Kudlow delivered a monologue outlining his pragmatic and positive perspective on the Robert F Kennedy endorsement of President Trump.
Mr Kudlow sees a net positive from the RFK JR endorsement and is optimistic that support from a Kennedy can tilt a tight race. WATCH:

From the Twitter: “I can’t tell whether it’s good or bad, but I firmly believe you have to be willing to play the cards your dealt. Maybe it was the Army, I dunno, but I can’t stand to sacrifice momentum for purity and perfection. You want that? Go to church. This is politics. It’s war. We fight with the team we’ve got, and that means sending
According to the Trump campaign, there will now be a special guest attending the Glendale, Arizona MAGA rally tomorrow (7:00pm ET). A lot of speculation has centered around Robert F Kennedy Jr, likely endorsing President Trump.
Many people within the MAGA community, mostly those associated with the financial benefits of the movement, have been advocating for RFK Jr to be placed in a prominent Trump administration position.
I am taking a wait-and-see approach; however, I do not see any benefit from any RFK endorsement. The same Republicans who voted for Evan McMullin, are the same Republicans currently supporting RFK Jr. That group will not change their anti-Trump position

Of FACE Act Violations For Preventing
Baby Deaths 6 replies
The Department of Justice (DOJ) continues to hound pro-life activists who go to abortion businesses and try to convince pregnant women not to kill their babies.
A Detroit, Michigan, jury found seven pro-lifers guilty Tuesday of engaging in a civil rights conspiracy and violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act for standing and sitting in front of the door of the Northland Family Planning Clinic in Sterling Heights, Michigan, Aug. 27, 2020.
The 1994 Clinton-era FACE Act makes it a federal crime to intimidate or interfere with someone getting an abortion. Combined with the conspiracy charge the DOJ has added to recent FACE charges, the combined convictions

The “never let a crisis go to waste” narrative continues advancing today with Congressman Mike Waltz.(snp)If you do not choose to give up some private communication tools in order to make the USA a safer place, then you don’t care about the security of President Trump or something.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has unveiled a new rule that the government estimates will protect about 550,000 illegal immigrants from being deported.
A federal law called the Immigration and Nationality Act gives federal officials the ability to grant parole to illegal immigrants who are already in the United States. DHS officials are using the powers to grant protection to some illegal immigrants who are married to U.S. citizens, as directed by President Joe Biden.
The DHS said that the government is trying to keep families together and that “granting parole in place, on a case-by-case basis,

Knowledgeable commentators are openly speaking of a coming collapse of the Ukrainian military—greatly accelerated by the disastrous Kursk venture. According to Alexander Mercouris, Ukrainian government sources are admitting they have only 60 days worth of weapons left. In the preview of his live blog today,

(snip) Shanahan said there are currently two options:
#1. “Staying in and forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Waltz presidency because we draw votes from Trump…”
#2. “Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump.”

Every time I gently send the warning signal about Donald Trump Jr, I get blasted with hate mail that essentially says Trump Jr must not be criticized because he is the heir apparent to the MAGA empire – or something similar. (snip)
If you want me to hide the reality of how insanely naive Donald Trump Jr is about politics, then write him letters telling him to shut up. (snip) As long as Donald Trump Jr continues doing and saying stupid stuff because he believes he is politically smart (snip), I am going to continue sending warning flares about his naiveté.

The Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday requested the U.S. Supreme Court “deny” Republicans’ bid to enforce an Arizona law requiring individuals to prove they’re U.S. citizens when registering and voting in elections.
Arguing on behalf of the administration, U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar requested that the nation’s highest court instead allow a lower court decision — one prohibiting the implementation of provisions of the statute in question — to remain in effect for the November election.

Hundreds of former aides who served under Republican lawmakers endorsed Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, stating that “another four years” of a Trump administration would “hurt real, everyday” Americans.
In a letter that USA Today obtained, a group of more than 200 former aides for former President George W. Bush, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), and former Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) write that they are reuniting and joining with former staffers for former President George H.W. Bush to endorse Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D).
Democratic strategist James Carville said Monday on CNN’s “OutFront” that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would be in a mental hospital if he were a citizen of a “more humane country.”
Democratic strategist Paul Begala said, “Look, Bobby Kennedy had a parasitic brain-eating worm in his head and the worm died of starvation, okay. So I just think that we ought to give him like a lot of leeway because I think he’s he’s a bit eccentric.” Host Erin Burnett said, “A Trump-Kennedy ticket, do you feel have any difference of opinion here from Paul on what he said about it?

Do you think the DNC went well? I'm not sure the Democrats did. Reading between the lines of what was said and done between all that "joy," I think the Democrats are panicking, and for good reason. They aren't selling themselves well. If you think this is good, I've got sour news for you. This is the kind of thing that spurs Democrats into action. They live by the mantra "by any means necessary," and if the Democrats are the cornered animal they're hinting they are, then they're about to resort to some really brutal tactics to hold onto power.
The signs are all there. Bizarre time change-ups, internal discord,
The 2024 hurricane season is not going as predicted – yet. So far this year, including the three that are spinning Monday, there have been more storms in the Pacific than the Atlantic, and that's a bit of a surprise, forecasters say. In addition, it's been eerily calm in the Atlantic over the past week or so as we approach what's traditionally the busiest time of the season. "It is quiet out there," Colorado State University meteorologist Phil Klotzbach told USA TODAY on Monday. "I certainly wasn't expecting this when we put out our most recent seasonal forecast!" "We haven't had
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted Monday that the Biden administration pressured Facebook to censor COVID-19 content and acknowledged it was wrong to stifle The Post’s coverage of Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop.
In an explosive letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Zuckerberg wrote that “senior Biden administration officials, including the White House, repeatedly pressured” Meta to “censor” content related to the coronavirus pandemic in 2021.
The content the Biden administration requested that Meta take down included “humor and satire,” according to the Facebook founder, and he said he regrets complying with certain demands.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a letter on Monday that the Biden-Harris administration repeatedly pressured his company — which includes Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and more — to censor content that is protected free speech.
Zuckerberg made the admission in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) this week in which he said that his goal moving forward was to “be neutral and not play a role one way or another” for either any political party or ideology. He said he doesn’t even want the appearance of playing a role and will not be making political contributions.
As Joe Biden disembarked Air Force One in the early hours of Tuesday morning in California last week, he was visibly shaking.
It was approaching 5.30am East Coast time and the president had been awake almost 24 hours.
Walking slowly down the plane's stairs, he struggled to step up into the SUV waiting to take him to the 8,000-acre Santa Barbara ranch where he and his family have just enjoyed a week-long vacation. One of his Secret Service agents moved to shield him from the watching cameras, before giving him a helpful boost into the car. On the tarmac, First Lady Jill Biden watched, visibly concerned.
The Washington Post published an op-ed on Friday calling Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff a “progressive sex symbol.”
"Move over, Ryan Gosling. The modern female fantasy is embodied by the man who might soon become our first First Gentleman," Catherine Rampell wrote in the piece.Rampell added that Emhoff is a “hunk” because he is “smitten with his wife” and her career ambitions and is "secure enough with his own masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife’s ambitions over his own.”
Rampell brushed off Emhoff’s “previous marital drama,” which includes Emhoff conceding that he had an affair during his first marriage.
Less than two months ago, Donald Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt after 20-year-old Thomas Crooks opened fire at an open-air rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
While Secret Service agents were applauded for bravely swarming the stage to protect Trump, the incident represented one of the worst security failures in American history.
Following the shooting on July 13 - which claimed the life of firefighter Corey Comperatore - Congress set up a bipartisan taskforce to investigate.
As questions mounted, Secret Service chief Kimberly Cheatle was forced to resign.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. officially lost his U.S. Secret Service (USSS) protection on Monday, just days after his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race.
Kennedy's press secretary confirmed the change in a statement to CBS News. Kennedy had gone through a long process to receive USSS protection in the first place, with his initial requests being denied earlier in the cycle.
It was not until the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump in July that President Biden ordered that Kennedy receive Secret Service protection as well.

In a move that will surprise no one, Kamala Harris is now pushing for major rule changes at the ABC News debate. That comes after her campaign spent weeks insisting that any deviation from the Biden-negotiated event would represent cowardice on the part of Donald Trump.
According to Politico, Harris wants to do away with the muted mics seen in the CNN debate so that the candidates can have "uncensored" exchanges.
The holdup? Whether or not the candidates’ microphones will be muted when it isn’t their turn to speak.
