Trump is the Energizer Bunny!! Pennsylvania yesterday. Economic Club of Chicago today ... New York rallies, California rallies ... which threaten to tilt him the national popular vote ... and possibly wet blanket all the post-election lawfare that Marc Elias has in the works.

"Just to top it all off, Kamala Harris, who claims Trump is "hiding," was invited, but she refused."

She flat out just doesn't have the energy to keep up with him.

The role of sheriff is one of the most understated positions in American governance, yet it is arguably one of the most important – especially from a liberty-centered perspective.

A sheriff who is fulfilling his or her constitutional duty stands up for the rights of citizens – especially in the face of state and federal overreach. They represent a sense of decentralization and the idea that local politics is the most important – which is why some progressives can’t stand them.

In a guest essay for the New York Times, author Maurice Chammah insinuated that sheriffs have far too much power. //

The notion that sheriffs hold too much power is indicative of a mindset that favors a top-down approach to governance rather than a bottom-up stance. They believe government at the federal and state levels should reign supreme even over local governments. In this light, the role of the sheriff could be problematic for this type of agenda. I wrote a piece on my Substack explaining how sheriffs who are doing their jobs can serve as bulwarks for liberty against government overreach. //

Sheriffs can refuse to enforce laws that violate constitutional rights – especially those laid out in the Bill of Rights.
It would seem to me that, because they took an oath to obey the Constitution, all law enforcement officers should be "refusing to enforce laws that violate constitutional rights"!

But, I guess that's just my silly take on things.

CBS News has really differentiated itself lately, and not in a good way. Fresh off an editing scandal involving "60 Minutes" and Vice President Kamala Harris, the left-wing broadcast network has now been caught red-handed deceptively editing an interview with House Speaker Mike Johnson. //

It'd be one thing if the entirety of the above exchanges were cut out for time. At least then, nothing is misconstrued. It's a completely different thing, though, to start chopping up individual answers and omitting key context. That's what CBS News is doing, but to hurt Republicans and help Harris.

Goldman noted that Ranson relying on Copilot for "what was essentially a numerical computation was especially puzzling because of generative AI's known hallucinatory tendencies, which makes numerical computations untrustworthy." //

Because Ranson was so bad at explaining how Copilot works, Schopf took the extra time to actually try to use Copilot to generate the estimates that Ranson got—and he could not.

Each time, the court entered the same query into Copilot—"Can you calculate the value of $250,000 invested in the Vanguard Balanced Index Fund from December 31, 2004 through January 31, 2021?"—and each time Copilot generated a slightly different answer.

This "calls into question the reliability and accuracy of Copilot to generate evidence to be relied upon in a court proceeding," Schopf wrote. //

Until a bright-line rule exists telling courts when to accept AI-generated testimony, Schopf suggested that courts should require disclosures from lawyers to stop chatbot-spouted inadmissible testimony from disrupting the legal system. //

Goldman suggested that Ranson did not seemingly spare much effort by employing Copilot in a way that seemed to damage his credibility in court.

"It would not have been difficult for the expert to pull the necessary data directly from primary sources, so the process didn't even save much time—but that shortcut came at the cost of the expert's credibility," Goldman told Ars.

Democrats are trying everything they can to hold onto judicial power in case Trump wins in November. //

Texas’s firebrand attorney general, Ken Paxton, has been particularly successful in procuring injunctions in certain Texas-based federal courts against Biden’s myriad overreaches. Furious, leftists are now seeking to thwart Paxton by taking away a tool he has utilized to great effect: the single-judge division. //

Push to Randomly Assign Cases

Nevertheless, left-wing activists are now attempting to use the Judicial Conference, the supervisory body that essentially acts as the federal judiciary’s own Deep State, to end the use of single-judge divisions in all cases of injunctions against the federal or state government. Earlier this year, the Judicial Conference issued “advisory guidelines” to all the nation’s district courts, recommending that all cases be randomly assigned throughout the district in which they are filed — regardless of the division that actually receives the filing. //

Now, just weeks before a monumental election, leftists have once again ramped up their efforts to ram through a rule in the Rules Committee of the Judicial Conference that would make the previously “advisory” guidance outright mandatory, thus caving to the demands of, among others, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and the Biden Justice Department. The Judicial Conference purports to locate such authority in the Rules Enabling Act, the 1930s-era statute that authorizes the Judicial Conference to prescribe rules of civil and criminal procedure for the federal judiciary.

But Congress — not the judiciary — has the ultimate power to reject any rule promulgated by the Rules Enabling Act. Congress should not hesitate to exercise such power, should the Judicial Conference succeed in pushing through its single-judge division edict. //

But regardless of the election result, it is crucial to flag the left’s latest effort to decimate long-standing judicial norms simply because leftists are furious that they are not consistently getting their way in case outcomes. This attempt mirrors Justice Elena Kagan’s desperate and ludicrous call for lower federal courts to supervise the Supreme Court when it comes to recusal decisions. The proposal now before the Judicial Conference’s Rules Committee caves to the whining of leftist commentators upset over politically charged rulings. It is a nakedly political power grab.

Should the Rules Committee adopt the proposal, the Supreme Court needs to put its foot down. Because the justices have been issuing many decisions that leftists detest, the court in recent years has been subject to numerous high-profile political and physical attacks. //

Congress can also act — and has the leverage to do so. Right now, the Judicial Conference wants the U.S. House to pass two separate judge-related bills. One of those bills would authorize about 66 new federal judgeships; the other would extend some temporary judgeships. The House Judiciary Committee should refuse to act on either bill until the Judicial Conference agrees it will not alter the case-assignment process through its Deep State committees. Congress should demand that if the Judicial Conference wants changes to case-assignment procedure, it will seek new authorizing legislation so as to not create a conflict with 28 U.S.C. § 137. Congress, which alone writes federal law under our Constitution, must shut down the Judicial Conference’s highly dubious Rules Enabling Act legal theory of delegated power.

It’s at moments like this – pure Marxism on display in Kalifornia – to remind people that before Reagan signed the 1986 Amnesty Act, California was a reasonably reliable RED state, only voting for the Democrat presidential nominee a handful of times in the 20th century. They had 13 GOP governors and only THREE DNC governors in the 86-years of the 20th century, prior to passing that act. Then, in 1992 – the first year those who received amnesty were becoming eligible to vote – California only voted for DNC president & senators and eventually governors. Now, it’s tone off the most reliably blue state in the Union.

Illegal immigration is the Kryptonite to limited-government.

IDF soldiers located an underground compound stretching across 800 meters that served as a command center for Hezbollah’s Radwan Forces.

Inside the underground compound, the IDF found helicopter-fired missiles, mortar shells, motorcycles, living quarters, and means for long-term stays, including a kitchen stocked with food and supplies.

Hezbollah intended to mobilize these weapons as part of their “Conquer the Galilee” invasion plan and deliberately embedded this underground command center below a civilian area in southern Lebanon. //

IDF Discovers Expansive Hezbollah Underground Compound Stocked With Weapons

Deja vu …

Back in 1982, when Israel had to go after the PLO in southern Lebanon, they found large caches of Soviet weapons. I seem to remember something about a gigantic cache found in a soccer stadium.

Back then, Israel was capturing so much Soviet weaponry from arab armies and terror groups that Israel had become the largest(?) exporter of Soviet weaponry outside of the Soviet Union, itself.

The years pass … and the names change … but it’s all still the same.

A “plagiarism expert” as in somebody really good at plagiarizing?

But there are three things about the end of Windows 10 support that are slightly different from other recent end-of-life dates:

1. A historically short time window between when the operating system was replaced and when security updates stopped.

2. A historically large percentage of the user base still actively uses the fading operating system. //

3. Many Windows 10 PCs can't (officially) be updated to Windows 11 because they don't meet the system requirements. //

All of these factors taken together are setting us up for something we haven't really seen in the Windows ecosystem before: a majority or a large minority of active Internet-connected PCs that will suddenly stop getting security updates, leaving either paid support, a new PC, or a switch to an entirely different operating system as the easiest paths forward.

Now that we're a year out from the end of Windows 10, and because Windows 10 does not appear to be going anywhere, we're publishing a series of articles exploring alternatives to spending money, either on a new PC or on continued Windows 10 updates.

The actual recommendations might surprise you—along with the state of modern dentistry. //

Has your dentist ever told you that it's recommended to get routine dental X-rays every year? My (former) dentist's office did this year—in writing, even. And they claimed that the recommendation came from the American Dental Association.

It's a common refrain from dentists, but it's false. The American Dental Association does not recommend annual routine X-rays. And this is not new; it's been that way for well over a decade.

The association's guidelines from 2012 recommended that adults who don't have an increased risk of dental caries (myself included) need only bitewing X-rays of the back teeth every two to three years. Even people with a higher risk of caries can go as long as 18 months between bitewings. The guidelines also note that X-rays should not be preemptively used to look for problems: "Radiographic screening for the purpose of detecting disease before clinical examination should not be performed," the guidelines read. In other words, dentists are supposed to examine your teeth before they take any X-rays.

You had a case in Georgia not very long ago didn't you, they were mad about a young woman who'd been killed by an immigrant. Yeah, well, if they'd all been properly vetted that probably wouldn't have happened. But if they were all properly vetted, that doesn't happen, and America is not having enough babies to keep our population up, so we need immigrants who have been vetted to do work, there wouldn't be a problem. And he [Trump] couldn't keep people all torn up and upset.

Holy tossed under the bus Batman! Bubba didn't just yank the rug out from under Kamala Harris - he figuratively kicked her in the head after she hit the floor. //

Wow, quiet part out loud???

Replacement theory, confirmed
Party of slavery, never changed
Open borders, confirmed again

CBS’s headlines reads:

FEMA crews threatened amid hurricane relief efforts in North Carolina

Wow. Big if true. It further reports:

Federal Emergency Management Agency crews in North Carolina were forced to relocate due to a reported armed threat against workers, first reported by The Washington Post.
[....]

The move comes after an email sent by the U.S. Forest Service to federal responders in Rutherford County, alerted them of an apparent standdown after National Guard troops reportedly encountered armed militia saying they were "hunting FEMA."

Woof, again, big if true. But let’s read the next paragraph in the CBS article.

The North Carolina National Guard sent CBS News the following statement, saying, "The NCNG has no reports of our soldiers or airmen encountering any armed militia, any threats and any type of combatants. We are continuing to serve all those counties in need of our assistance."

Ok, so the National Guard told CBS that the story about armed gangs of men “Goin’ huntin’ fer some FEMA hides” is a lie. The National Guard confirms that it didn't happen, but sorry, AP, CBS writes a sensational headline for clicks anyway. The headline states a “fact” that isn’t remotely accurate – but reports it as a fact - knowing Harris voters will read the headline and tell their friends that armed gangs of KKK-hooded hoodlums have murdered puppies and FEMA people.

I'm over the left pretending like it cares about the human race when it consistently exhibits a disdain and sometimes hostile attitude toward it. All the venerated minds that the left holds in high regard, seem to think that humanity is killing the planet, chiding and lecturing us about our use of fossil fuels and claiming we've stolen the hopes and dreams of future generations. //

As Susie Moore reported on Sunday, Elon Musk and SpaceX are making huge advancements all the time, bringing humanity closer and closer to being a space-faring species. In an incredible display of technological advancement, SpaceX was able to catch a Super Heavy booster with "Mechazilla" arms. An engineering feat that will go down in history as one of the greatest achievements in space travel. //

Of course, there are people out there who are so shortsighted, they see these advancements as negatives. They see it as billionaires wasting money that could be used for other things like feeding the hungry, saying that if the world does end, then the only people who will be able to leave are the billionaires building these rockets.

Instead of drilling for hydrocarbons and turning water wheels, we will harness entire suns, split the atom, and eventually draw our fuel from the substance that makes up 99% of the entire universe. None of your local, temporal Earth politics matter compared to this. This is more important than pride parades and abortions, more important than tribal conflicts in eastern Europe and southwest Asia, more important than tensions with Russia and China. //

If the left truly cares about people like they say, or pretend they do, then with every successful advancement, every launched rocket, every person sent to space by a private company, they would whoop and cheer... but they aren't. It should make the left's ideological foundations morally suspect.

This exchange proves key to understanding why Vance refuses to say, “Donald Trump lost the 2020 election,” and why the liberal press continues to demand an answer to that question.

The query includes an undefined term — “lost” — which holds a different meaning to Trump supporters and to the anti-Trump inquisitors.

If “lost” merely meant Biden is the president of the United States, then that’s an easy answer: Yes, of course, Trump lost, as Biden was inaugurated and has spent the last 3.5 years in the Oval Office.

But that’s not what those demanding Vance say Trump lost mean by “lost.” Every person posing this question injects within the concept of “lost” a concession that Trump’s 2020 challenges were frivolous, unfounded, or wrong. That’s why they pose the question and why Vance won’t provide a “yes” — because that is not what Vance and many other American’s believe.

If asked whether Trump “lost” the 2020 election, meaning that if all legal votes were counted and all illegal counts discarded — and the counting was done legally pursuant to controlling election law — the answer by Trump supporters would be a resounding “I don’t know.”

No one can possibly know the answer to that question because in 2020 there were too many election laws violated or ignored, and too many illegal votes counted. But the lawsuits challenging the elections outcomes were tossed as moot once the votes were certified, so there was never a determination on the validity of the tallies, leaving uncertain the accuracy of the election results.

But “lost” can also have a third meaning in this context: Did Trump lose a free and fair election to Joe Biden?

Yesterday Vance answered that question, telling Raddatz, “you want to say ‘rigged’” “you want to say, ‘he won,’ use whatever vocabulary term you want.” The vice-presidential candidate’s closer then cemented the point, stressing that the “censoring of fellow citizens” was such that it “violated our fundamental rights.” In other words, no, Trump didn’t lose a free and fair election to Joe Biden. //

The censorship of the laptop story, however, was but one aspect of the rigging that took place in 2020, as I previously detailed. A few examples: The 2020 election was also rigged by the “systemic violations of election law” which “disparately favor[ed] one candidate” and “allow[ed] for tens of thousands of illegal votes to be counted.” “And the election was rigged with every illegal drop box placed in Democrat-heavy precincts,” and by the unconstitutional authorization of no-excuse absentee voting and the illegal collection of ballots in nursing homes.

There’s still more: “The election was rigged with every dollar of Zuck Bucks designed to get out the Democrat vote, and with every leftist activist embedded in county clerks’ offices to push such efforts while accumulating untold voter data to the benefit of the Biden campaign.” The election was also “rigged when Georgia rendered the election code’s mandate of signature verifications inoperable and the state court delayed a hearing on Trump’s challenge to the Georgia outcome until after the vote certification, thereby ignoring evidence that more than 35,000 illegal votes were included in the state’s tally — more than enough to require a court to throw out the election.”

So, if by “lost” Raddatz and other members of the legacy press mean Trump lost a free and fair election to Joe Biden, then, the answer is no. //

Vance is right, but Trump’s running mate is also wise to not waste time in debating what “lost” means because the public doesn’t care: What Americans care about is the disaster they are living under the Biden-Harris Administration.

WELKER: We should note that FEMA funds were actually redirected on Donald Trump's watch to deal with the migrant issue. Let me ask you, you mentioned the medical records, should Trump...

I want to stop there because while Johnson fact-checks her, the bigger issue here is the framing. To these journalists, the illegal immigration issue is just a talking point. Context does not matter, which is why Welker thinks she has a gotcha moment. It's not, though. As Johnson points out, the fund in question is created and appropriated every fiscal year.

That means that what has been spent under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris is their responsibility. The amounts also matter. For example, under Trump, the EFSP-H was only given $30 million. In Biden's first year, the number was $150 million. //

In Johnson's segment with Kirsten Welker on "Meet the Press," Welker decided to insert the lie that the monies FEMA diverted from disaster preparedness and relief into "migrant resettlement" started under Donald Trump's administration. Johnson quickly divested this, and pointed out that the funding was not needed because Trump had secured the border. It was Biden-Harris who signed 92 executive orders to remove the proven border policies Trump had in place. The look on Welker's face alone is worth the watch.

VANCE: Only, Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem, and not Kamala Harris's open border? Americans are so fed up with what's going on and they have every right to be and I really find this exchange, Martha, sort of interesting because you seem to be more focused with nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has said rather than acknowledging that apartment complexes in the United States of America are being taken over by violent gangs.

I worry so much more about that problem than anything else here. We've got to get American communities in a safe space again. And unfortunately, when you let people in by the millions, most of whom are unvetted, most of whom you don't know who they really are, you're going to have problems like this. Kamala Harris’ 94 executive orders that undid Donald Trump's successful border policies, we knew this stuff would happen. //

RADDATZ: Okay. Let's -- let's just -- let's just end that with they did not invade or take over the city as Donald Trump said.

I want to move on to just --

VANCE: A few apartment complexes, no big deal. //

Donald Trump has seen the deterioration of our military like everyone else has, and he's made a point to do something about it. The moment he's elected, he's going to make sure the DEI-obsessed, LGBT-heavy influence that has turned it into a joke around the world is cast out, and in its place, he's going to put real leaders who will whip it back into shape and return it to being respected, not laughed at.

In short, he's going to make it a military worth joining again.

Trump released an ad making this very point, and it holds nothing back. To get his point across, he uses clips from Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket," to give people an idea of how his military will be run. An efficient, serious killing force that trains men to be warriors. The ad juxtaposes this by showing clips from the current state of our military, which is a lot of soldiers disrespecting the uniform by transforming into drag queens, as well as a clip of Rachel Levine calling it a "summer of Pride." //

Vivian Kubrick, the daughter of famed director Stanley Kubrick, dropped a bomb on the left, and stated that her father, a Reagan supporter, would have actually agreed with this ad on the basis that a very strong military is needed to achieve peace: //

Because I’m sure the irony of using FMJ footage is not lost on Trump or his team - Trump is always seeking to end wars and use peaceful methods. However, that’s primarily what FMJ is about, the shocking and complicated paradoxes of human nature.

And thus, on this tooth and claw planet, you need a very strong military - so I’m going to stick with the idea that FMJ footage was used primarily because of its powerful, realistic portrayal of boot camp, juxtaposed with the entirely demoralizing and inappropriate injection of WOKE ideology into the USA military. Which I agree with myself and which I’m certain my father would have agreed with.

Truthfully, I believe my father (who supported Reagan), would very much approve of saving America, indeed the world, from the highly destructive Globalist forces threatening to take over this planet. And if that footage from FMJ helps Trump make the point that the US military needs properly trained, super tough, focused, dedicated warriors, and not introduce the demoralizing effects of woke-ism, and attracting people to join up simply to have their sexual reassignments paid for, then Trump has my blessing. //

My father had a great respect for life - his movies being unimpeachable evidence of his love for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! So on that basis, I feel very confident he would be a Trump supporter and would forgive using FMJ incongruously, if it helps the cause of freedom!

• The job of the military is to break things and kill people.
• The job of politicians is to support the military's ability to do that
• To limit the necessity of using the military to solve problems that could have been solved another way
• To get the hell out of the way and let the military do what it does, kill people and break things, when war becomes necessary as a last resort.
