Politics is about doing the obvious things right. It doesn't matter how many other amazing things you do if you fail at the basics. What @POTUS did in the first few months of his second term was extraordinary by any measure. Historic. He sealed off the southern border completely - shutting down what could only be described as a full-scale invasion. He doesn't get enough credit for it. Anyone who downplays that accomplishment can't be taken seriously. But no matter how important that was for the survival of our country, the average American doesn't stare at the border every day. They stare at the gas pump.

People ideologically aligned with the radical group "No Hate in Washington State" continue to steal law signs advocating for repealing the income tax, protecting parental rights, and protecting girls' sports

These are the people that liberals want to go into the dressing room and bathrooms with our little girls. It's not bad enough that they want them in there with full grown women. No, they're okay with these people being in private spaces where little girls change their clothes. We need more mental asylums! This is not "feeling like a woman." It's not acting like a woman. Women don't do this. This is the sexualization of women and a fetish. Women and little girls are not safe around these people!

Earlier in this interview, Rapinoe says "If you're a trans person in sports...you couldn't just say, one day, 'I'm a woman' and go play. That's not how it works." Yet that is EXACTLY what happened with the trans cross country runner in Camas, WA, who switched from the boys to the girls team in the middle of the season.

We can’t coexist with people who want us dead Liberals decorate for Halloween by hanging Donald Trump and Elon Musk from the front of their home This would be global news if it was Barack Obama or any Democrat but because it’s Elon Musk and Trump it’s apparently acceptable…. Little kids are going to be Trick or Treating going up to this house and seeing this…. The Left is the party of violence

NEW: Noah Casey Sullivan, the son of Dan J. Sullivan, who filed to run as a Republican against GOP incumbent Sen. Dan Scott Sullivan, is a registered Democrat who works as a field representative for Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez’s (D-WA)

Every time you’ve written something stupid like this, we’ve pointed out that it is a lie. No one is banning anyone from competing in sports. So that tells me that you know you’re lying, and you don’t care that you’re lying.

Wow, Democrat Campaign Chair Suzan DelBene (D-WA) TORCHED by CNBC hosts over Democrat Mary Peltola election rigging scandal in Alaska 🎥 Andrew Ross Sorkin: “You don't believe the report at all?” “You don't believe, You genuinely don't believe it happened. Do you want to know if it happened? ... As a human, as a citizen, if you're watching this play out and you say to yourself, this is crazy?” For 4+ minutes, DelBene insists she believes Peltola & her campaign had NOTHING to do with placing a fake Dan Sullivan on the ballot after bombshell NYTimes investigation, complete with text message evidence, sparking multiple federal & criminal investigations DelBene goes on a whataboutism tangent: “Well, the campaign has been clear that they deny what happened … Republicans from the very beginning have been set up trying to rig the system” ➡️Joe Kernen: “Chairwoman, it's good you got that, you know, not a lot of DelBenes around so you probably have, Democrats won't be able to find anyone to run against”

“They’re trying to do an end-run around legislators that voters elected.” -- Vivian Topping, the senior director for advocacy at the Equality Federation. This was my favorite part of the whole @washingtonpost article on the upcoming ballot initiatives to protect girls sports. Yes, Vivian. Taking it right to the voters. The horror.

My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will: 1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate. 2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority. 3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority. This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word. All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.

UPDATE: Acting US Attorney Neil Floyd releases a statement: "At his press today conference Secretary Hobbs said, 'It is not unusual for noncitizens to be on the rolls... we have never said there are none on there.' He also said, 'We don't have a system that can identify if someone is actually a non-citizen.' In other words, the State of Washington does nothing to confirm citizenship. They are knowingly sending out ballots to noncitizens and trusting that the non-citizens will not fill out the ballot. Registering non-citizens to vote with or without their knowledge could jeopardize their ability to become citizens. The noncitizens we have interviewed tell us that they assumed they could vote because the state sent them a ballot. It is a federal crime for non-citizens to register to vote. It is a federal crime for non-citizens to vote. At a minimum, Secretary Hobbs should be concerned about the non-citizens Washington is subjecting to possible criminal prosecution and adverse immigration consequences. Washington State is responsible for ensuring that the election system in Washington counts ONLY legal votes. Our objective is to inform the State of Washington and the public so they can take action. There is no longer ANY doubt that ballots are being sent to non-citizens. The only questions are how many illegal votes are being counted in Washington and what will the state do about it. Washington clearly has no intention or ability to identify non-citizens and remove them from the voter rolls."

UPDATE: I was able to ask @secstatewa about the claims of noncitizens on Washington voter rolls. He insists it’s not a widespread issue but also admits the state has no mechanism for checking voter registration against citizenship. Live report at 6 @komonews

What's happening with elections in Washington state is a scandal. I voted for Steve Hobbs, but he's being obstinate for no reason. He's accusing the feds of playing politics with elections, while he too plays politics. Can no one act like an adult? The DOJ provided our state elections chief with a list of 405 voters it suspects are non-citizens. @secstatewa says the list is "not reliable" and may contain *some* inaccuracies. So the state is refusing to segregate those ballots for the November 3 election. What is so hard here? WORK TOGETHER TO DETERMINE WHO ON THE LIST SHOULD HAVE A BALLOT, AND WHO SHOULDN'T. It's really not that hard. If the state truly cares about protecting the votes of Washingtonians, it wouldn't hesitate to work with the feds in good faith to review the list and take immediate action where necessary. This cannot wait until after potentially illegal ballots are cast. In 2019, the head of King County elections acknowledged concerns about non-citizens being registered to vote at the DOL. So, it's hardly a surprise or something out of the realm of possibility. I'm not saying you should refuse to count ballots where this is no definitive proof they are illegal, but surely this is serious enough to make that determination quickly? And hey, if the feds are wrong the state gets to rub it in their face and take a victory lap. But if the feds are right? That's a big deal and needs to be taken seriously. Elections in this state have been decided by double digits and once it is certified and the votes have been counted, there is no going back. Sit down in a room together. Spend two hours sorting it out.
