Ann Davison is currently leading in early results for the Seattle City Attorney race, with 58% of votes to Nicole Thomas-Kennedy’s 41%. Twelve-year incumbent City Attorney Pete Holmes did not advance out of the August primary, leaving Thomas-Kennedy and Davison as the last candidates left standing for November’s general election. Davison ran for Seattle City Council in 2019, ultimately losing to District 5 incumbent Debora Juarez by a 60% to 39% margin. She then ran as a Republican for lieutenant governor the following year, failing to advance out of the August primary after garnering 12% of votes.

Expect all hell to break loose within the Democrat party, with powerful key factions at each others’ throats. Voters in multiple states repudiated the radical wing of the Democrat party that had seized control of the party’s agenda. Republicans swept the statewide offices in Virginia, a state that had recently tantalized Democrat hopes of national dominance by swinging from red to purple to blue. Even if Phil Murphy ends up winning the governorship of New Jersey as troves of mail-in ballots are added to the totals when counting resumes in the morning (a story replicating what happened in some swing...

With children increasingly being exposed to the “normality” of transgenderism, there’s growing interest among children to pursue a gender change when they are not intellectually mature enough to be capable of such decisions. A few moments of thought show how worrisome this is and the unfair effects that emanate from these allowances.As we all know, all human beings are different in appearance, abilities, and personality. Part of growing up is becoming comfortable with who you are. In middle school and/or high school that’s a slow process but it picks up as we get older.When it comes to biological gender, most...

The incumbent Democratic mayor of Buffalo, running as a write-in candidate, declared victory Tuesday night as he held a nearly 20-point lead over his Democratic Party opponent. India Walton, a socialist backed by many high-profile progressives like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, refused to concede to Mayor Byron Brown in the highly publicized contest until her campaign sees “all the votes,” her spokesman Jesse Myerson told The Post via text. Brown, 63, who lost to Walton in the June Democratic primary, claimed what would be a stunning victory in a speech to supporters from his campaign headquarters shortly after 11 p.m. “Today’s election,...

Former Mets manager Bobby Valentine lost his bid to become the mayor of Stamford, Conn. on Tuesday — and blamed the press for the loss citing all the “lousy” coverage. Democratic state Rep. Caroline Simmons appeared to win the race — though the Associated Press warned the contest was too tight to call and could be decided by outstanding absentee ballots. Vote totals and percentages were not immediately available from Connecticut officials because of a technical glitch that hit that state’s elections results website, NBC’s affiliate there reported.

It won’t be news to many that New Jersey is as crooked as a dog’s hind leg. This extends, of course, to its electoral system. Thus can it be said assuredly that without vote fraud, the remarkably corrupt and fairly stupid Garden State governor, Goldman Sachs guy Phil Murphy, would have lost Tuesday’s election hands down.Murphy’s challenger, Republican Jack Ciattarelli, has a slim advantage after late-counted votes have trimmed his margin. As of this writing, he leads the incumbent 49.65 percent to 49.60 percent with 97.51 percent of the precincts reporting. It’s a good bet at this point that more...

NBC “Sunday Night Football” sideline reporter Michele Tafoya filled in on ABC’s “The View” on Tuesday, where she held firm with regard to her opposition to both vaccine mandates and teaching children critical race theory. Tafoya told Sports Illustrated in 2015 she identifies as a conservative. On Tuesday, she appeared on “The View” in the chair vacated by former co-host Meghan McCain, and she drew the ire of the show's hosts. The sports reporter irked the program’s outspoken liberals by opposing two subjects the broader left has strong feelings for. She also came armed with firsthand accounts of how both...

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, reacting to incoming election results in Virginia’s gubernatorial race, stated that “critical race theory, which isn’t real, turned the suburbs 15 points to the Trump insurrection endorsed Republican.” While it’s unclear what Wallace means by “insurrection endorsed,” the Republican to whom she referred is Glenn Youngkin, who has already been projected by the winner by some election analysts and outlets, though the race remains too close to call. Youngkin was endorsed by Trump, but he declined to campaign with the former president. Moreover, he has described the events of the January 6 Capitol riot as “sickening...

SNIP WHAT IS CRITICAL RACE THEORY? Critical race theory is a way of thinking about America’s history through the lens of racism. Scholars developed it during the 1970s and 1980s in response to what they viewed as a lack of racial progress following the civil rights legislation of the 1960s. It centers on the idea that racism is systemic in the nation's institutions and that they function to maintain the dominance of white people in society. The architects of the theory argue that the United States was founded on the theft of land and labor and that federal law has...

In a most unfortunate series of events, Queen Elizabeth II has waded into politics on the global warming matter, quite contrary to her lifelong position of being above politics. Her call to action at the United Nations' COP26 global warming summit in Scotland indicates a bad shift. According an editorial, likely written by Seth Lipsky, that appeared in the New York Sun:Queen Elizabeth II made a mistake, by our lights, in abandoning her royal impartiality and plunging into the political fray at the Glasgow summit on climate change. She’s effectively thrown herself — and her crown — in on the...

Republican Glenn Youngkin has defeated Democrat Terry McAuliffe in Virginia’s closely watched gubernatorial race, NBC News projected early on Wednesday morning. Youngkin, who received Donald Trump’s endorsement in May, led a largely ill-defined campaign, often hewing close to the former president’s 2020 election lies while also coyly trying to distance himself from them. Similar to Trump, Youngkin is a businessman with no political experience whose campaign focused on hot-button social topics — like outrage over school curricula — rather than substantive policy discussions.

A Massachusetts teacher who was forced to resign after photos of him at the Capitol on January 6 were shared online has won a seat on the district’s school board. The former Braintree High School teacher Matthew Lynch, 35, was visited by the FBI during his campaign. Lynch resigned in February after working at the school for approximately ten years.

Virginia Republicans wrestled away control of the Virginia House of Delegates to take away the Democrats’ 55-45 majority held since 2019. In Tuesday’s close election that saw Republicans sweep all three statewide races, Republicans also won back at least six seats in the Commonwealth’s lower chamber, resulting in a one-person majority for Republicans, according to data from the Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP).

BOSTON (AP) — Boston voters, marking a key milestone in the city’s long political history, for the first time elected a woman and an Asian American as mayor on Tuesday, tapping City Councilor Michelle Wu to serve in the city’s top political office. Wu’s victory marks a turning point for the city. Boston had only elected white men as mayor before her. “One of my sons asked me the other night if boys can be elected mayor of Boston,” Wu told supporters. “They have been, and they will again someday, but not tonight.” The choice of Wu over fellow Boston...

U.S. Army Brigade Surgeon says "in one morning I had to ground 3 out of 3 pilots due to vaccine injuries" at a panel discussion hosted by U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson.

Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.), Lieutenant Colonel Theresa Long described how she had to ground three pilots for COVID vaccine injuries. “I saw 5 patients in clinic,...

Beware of the college grad cad! Men with college degrees have become so cocky that they’re ruining romance for their female counterparts, one “leading expert” alleges. Just 40.5% of college students in the United States are male, according to the National Student Clearinghouse, meaning they’re in short supply and high demand when dating on campus. A lack of competition has led these men to develop “golden penis syndrome” — an arrogance that stems from the assumption that a steady supply of females will be sexually interested in them.
