Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul’s political witch hunt against Trump allies via a phony “fake electors” case is crumbling, propped up by a legal asterisk.
In a stinging court filing that shreds the leftist AG’s deeply flawed legal arguments, Madison attorney Joseph Bugni asserts that the problem isn’t that the government can’t prove its case, “it’s that there’s not a case to prove.”
Bugni represents former long-time attorney and former Dane County Judge Jim Troupis, who served as former President Donald Trump’s legal counsel following the disputed 2020 presidential election.

Maricopa County Recorder Steven Richer turned to the left-leaning States United Democracy Center and an overseas group bankrolled by the State Department to help his office target election speech that’s disapproved of by the government, according to emails obtained by The Federalist.
Richer thanked States United for offering to let his office “piggy back” on the group’s anti-speech operations, which he described as “deep scanning” the internet for “disinformation,”
Mountain Middle School in Durango, Colorado, banned cellphones from classrooms a dozen years ago.
Principal and executive director Shane Voss recalled at the time the constant stream of text messages and snapping of photos were too much to tolerate.
“It was already a massive distraction before that, in 2010,” he told The Epoch Times. “All of the sudden, everyone’s got a camera in their pocket.” (snip)“The kids were actually yearning for this,” Voss said, adding that students in recent years told him that they enjoy the morning and afternoons without having to check their messages or read updates on the people, teams, or events they follow on social media.
Stay away from the sketchy story around “Vem Miller” (DOB 10-26-74), and everything that surrounds the story of the possible 3rd assassination attempt. Everything about this story is sketchy in the extreme, including his defenses.
Multiple, at least 3, passports. Multiple, at least 3, ids. Fake tags on vehicle. Unregistered vehicle. Firearms (shotgun and handgun). Claimed fake credentials for Trump rally. A personal and familial connection to USA, Armenia, Great Britian (UK) and Canada. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco outlines the commonsense approach to viewing people as “sketchy.”
Writing on Twitter, Pershing Square CEO Bill Ackman provides his reasoning for supporting President Donald Trump.
Bill Ackman: “A number of my good friends and family have been surprised about my decision to support Donald Trump for president. They have been surprised because my political giving history has been mostly to Democrats, my voting registration has typically been Democrat (in NY, you must be registered to the party in order to vote in the primary, and usually the Republican candidate has no chance to win), and many of our philanthropic initiatives have supported issues that are consistent with Democratic priorities.
After watching Vice President Kamala Harris’s incredible slog of a town hall-style interview Thursday on Univision, there’s absolutely no way her support among Latino U.S. voters is going to do anything but bottom out.
That was the most excruciating hour-long campaign session I can recall and it’s not even close. The peak of the event was when she hollered at a non-English speaker who asked an innocuous question about the Democrat primary process, which Kamala skipped over before being hoisted up as the party nominee.
That guy was named Mario and he identified himself as a 70-year-old from Uruguay.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff did not deny allegations he slapped his ex-girlfriend during a soon-to-be-released MSNBC interview.
The moment came on Friday when the network shared a snippet of the second gentleman’s sit-down interview with “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough. The interview is expected to air on Monday. As The Federalist’s Tristan Justice previously noted, three friends of the alleged victim claimed to the Daily Mail that Emhoff “struck the woman named under the pseudonym ‘Jane’ following a glitzy night out at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival in France.”
Our analysis of U.S. consumer prices in 2019 showed that prices of imported goods actually declined despite import tariffs. A 2024 report from CPA takes a look at the impact to Chinese exports to the U.S. [SEE DATA HERE] Bottom line, the tariffs worked to reduce Chinese imports.2024 CPA – […] Since the Section 301 tariffs were imposed, the share of imports from China has steadily declined from 21.6% in 2017 the year prior to the tariffs to 16.5%, a decline of 5.1%. No other country has lost as much share of total U.S. import penetration over the past five years.
Kamala Harris Is Too Stupid To Be President

Univision hosted a “Latinos Ask” town hall with Kamala Harris on Thursday night, and it was about as airheaded and disingenuous as you’d expect. Here was one word salad from the first five minutes — remarkably in response to a question about the two hurricanes that just decimated the southeast of the country:
Leadership is about understanding the importance of lifting people up, understanding that the character of our country is such that we are a people who have ambitions and aspirations, dreams, goals for ourselves and our families, (snip)That’s a lot of ambitions.

Vice President Harris, during a Hurricane Milton update from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on Wednesday, covered her mouth and appeared to tell staff she was on a live broadcast after stumbling through a speech to the people of Florida.
President Biden and Harris received a briefing from disaster relief authorities on life-saving preparations for Hurricane Milton. The two also received the latest updates on the forecast and expected impacts for Florida.
While Biden attended the meeting from the White House, Harris and others attended virtually.
With just a few weeks to Election Day and early voting already underway in several states, it’s peak time for the “ground game” that campaigns have spent months preparing. Back in May, on-the-ground Republican operatives voiced concerns to The Federalist that the Republican National Committee’s operations weren’t keeping pace with grassroots in swing states.
Now, as Election Day nears, a narrative has emerged in the corporate media about the Trump campaign’s “paltry” ground game. Despite the grousing by some in the GOP, outside groups, including political action committees like the Sentinel Action Fund, are working to match Democrats at their own game.

Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday will tout her GOP support in a bid to attract Trump-wary Republicans and independents in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, the most purplish of Philadelphia’s suburbs.
More than 100 Republicans will join Ms. Harris at a rally in Upper Makefield, Pennsylvania, near the site where George Washington famously crossed the Delaware River. Later, she will try to hammer home her anti-Trump message to a conservative audience when she is interviewed on Fox News’ “Special Report with Bret Baier.”
Among the Republicans who lay out why they are crossing party lines to back Ms. Harris in this year’s election are former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman,
Vice President Kamala Harris is adding to her recent “media blitz” that until now has included stops at mostly friendly news outlets, talk shows and podcasts (which the Democratic presidential nominee has still inexplicably managed to bomb).
Yet, this week, she’s shaking things up and doing her first ever sit-down interview with Fox News. The interview will take place Wednesday with Fox News anchor Bret Baier. Baier has said that he won't treat Harris with kid gloves during their conversation, and that any editing of the interview will only be for “timing” and that “no topic is off the table.” Sounds promising.
Shocking police body camera video shows the moment a Virginia woman was shot dead by an officer after she charged him with a knife.
Sydney Wilson, 33, a commercial real estate manager in the DC area, was visited by an officer for a welfare check at her apartment in Reston on September 16 at 10 a.m.
Officer Peter Liu - who had 14 years of experience in crisis intervention - knocked on the door, and Wilson opened.
When the officer identified himself, she slammed it back shut.
For the next three minutes, the policeman continued to knock, only for the 6ft 6in Wilson to open the door and charge him with a knife.
Former President Bill Clinton had a bizarre moment while eulogizing the late Ethel Kennedy before a crowd of influential politicians and Kennedy family members.
During his remarks at the Kennedy matriarch's funeral Wednesday afternoon in Washington, D.C., Clinton revealed to the crowd what he really thought of Robert Kennedy's widow.
'I thought your mother was the cat’s meow,' Bill said about the late 96-year-old. 'She would flirt with me in the most innocent ways,' he continued to cautious laughs from the audience. (Photo) The former president continued on, seemingly making another joke about how she had 11 children.
In a race too close for comfort, with everything on the line, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) delivered a masterful debate performance on Wednesday night. Facing off against Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX), the current senator pummelled his opponent on issue after issue. Allred wasn't ready for primetime, contradicting himself at multiple points and walking right into numerous receipt-laden traps set by Cruz.
Cruz came into the debate planning to expose Allred for the radical he is, not the moderate he claims to be. I think it's safe to say he succeeded. (X) CRUZ: He's said not a word about his own record. I have to admit

Deport this woman to Gaza. This incident demonstrates the stupidity inherent among the pro-Hamas masses that have engulfed our college campuses. What is higher education’s purpose if students cannot differentiate between a Greek and an Israeli flag? I’m not kidding; we have this reported incident from Efi's Gyro in Montclair, New Jersey, where a pro-Hamas clown vandalizes a Greek restaurant, ripping down the Hellenic flag because she thought it was Israeli. [Video]
The establishment’s workers are aghast. She then tries to lecture them about how it’s not okay because there’s a genocide in Gaza—
How refreshing it is to see the Democratic Party in full panic mode. Nothing is working and as a result, the entire and profoundly unsuccessful Obama-Biden interlude is stricken and faltering. In fairness to the voters, the country could not have voted Republican in 2008 after the disaster of President George W. Bush — the Iraqi war topped out by the financial collapse and panic traceable to President Clinton’s requirement that the financial markets be flooded with commercially unsustainable mortgages.
There had to be a change, as there usually is after two terms of the same party, and Senator McCain was not a skilled national campaigner.

A few days ago, there was a report that the Harris campaign is in trouble and the Trump campaign is "extremely bullish" on former President Donald Trump's chances to win the presidency. The reporter, former ABC News journalist Mark Halperin, said his account is based on "robust private polling" and talks with sources on both sides. "She's in a lot of trouble," Halperin said of Vice President Kamala Harris. "Pennsylvania is tough for her right now. ... Wisconsin and Michigan are looking worse for Harris than before. ... The conversations I'm having with Trump people and Democrats with data are extremely bullish on Trump's chances in the last 48 hours.

Ahead of Hurricane Milton Facing ‘Animal
Cruelty’ Charges 13 replies
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) revealed that the former owner who had tied a dog to a pole ahead of Hurricane Milton, would be charged with “animal cruelty.”
During a press conference on Tuesday, DeSantis spoke about a dog that had been tied to a pole on I-75, which Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) officers had rescued. DeSantis revealed that Florida State Attorney Susan Lopez would be seeking “animal cruelty charges” against the former owner.
The former owner, Giovanny Aldama Garcia, is facing a charge of “aggravated animal cruelty, which is a third-degree felony,” after he tied his dog “Jumbo” to a pole as he reportedly made “his way to Georgia,”
A Connecticut father died Monday — five years after he was bitten by an infected mosquito while clearing brush in his wooded backyard.
Richard Pawuski, 49, was killed from complications of Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), a fatal disease that claimed its first New York State death in nearly a decade last month — marking a startling resurgence that’s left health officials baffled.
The mosquito-borne illness is a rare but “severe” disease that targets the brain, causing rapid physical deterioration and lifelong disabilities — if it doesn’t kill you first.

to Be President,’ He’s ‘Increasingly
Unstable and Unhinged’ 11 replies
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that former President Donald Trump was “unqualified to be president” because he is “increasingly unstable and unhinged.”
Clinton said, “The vice president has pivoted toward the closing argument. The closing argument has two parts. The closing argument is what kind of country do we want to be? What kind of people are we? Do we want to be divided? Do we want to be set into arguments with each other that we can’t agree on solving our problems? She is qualified to bring our country together and he is not.”
It was another rough day for the Democrat thought leader Kamala Harris.
Kamala’s handlers thought it would be a good idea to go on FOX News for a rare mainstream media interview. They even arranged to have Trump-basher Bret Baier to ask the questions.
But it didn’t turn out as planned. There was no amount of prepping that could save Kamala from what was coming. Kamala finally had to defend her failed policies, from open borders, to lying about Joe Biden’s dementia, to funding the Iranian terrorist regime. There was no escape.
And Bret Baier actually came prepared and did not give Kamala a pass.
