I heard the staff and DUmmies over there are all drinking Drano.

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America celebrated as pro-life Republican Bernie Moreno defeated incumbent Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown after more than 30 years in Washington, D.C. SBA Pro-Life America Candidate Fund endorsed Moreno in June. This election cycle, SBA Pro-Life America and its affiliated entities raised and spent $92 million to protect life across America. Overall, the groups’ largest ever voter contact program reached more than 10 million persuadable and low-turnout voters across eight key battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Montana, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Pro-life canvassers with SBA Pro-Life America and its partner Women Speak Out PAC made...

Fox News just projected Deb Fisher beats Osborn in Nebraska. With Justice winning in West Virginia and Bernie Moreno winning in Ohio, this means the Republicans hold at least 51 Senate seats, giving them a majority.

The chair of Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign sent out a letter to staff on Tuesday night, assuring them that the current closeness of the race is “exactly what we prepared for.” In the email, campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon said staff have known all along that this is a “razor-thin race.” “While we continue to see data trickle in from the Sun Belt states, we have known all along that our clearest path to 270 electoral votes lies through the Blue Wall states,” O’Malley Dillon wrote. “And we feel good about what we’re seeing.” Trump vs. Harris: Where...

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (is that his real name or is it a stage name?) reported Tuesday that bomb threats originating from Russia temporarily disrupted voting at two polling places in Union City. Were these Russian would-be bombers Democrat Russians or Republican Russians or independent Russians? Has Vladimir Putin claimed responsibility as a new front in his war against Volodymyr Zelensky? (This has got to be a stage name. What a clown!) Were excessive amounts of vodka involved? Or is this yet another PR disaster which we can blame on Bud Light?

Live Science reports that a 4,400-year-old settlement site has been discovered in western Saudi Arabia by a team of researchers led by Guillaume Charloux of the French National Center for Scientific Research. The settlement was made up of a central district, a residential district, and protective ramparts measuring about nine miles long. Such Bronze Age settlements in Saudi Arabia tended to be smaller than those found in Mesopotamia and Egypt, Charloux said. "These were small towns connected to networks of monumental ramparts surrounding the large local oases," he explained. This small town, dubbed al-Natah, is estimated to have been home...

A man has been charged after allegedly trying to blow up a Tennessee power substation as part of a white supremacist plot to upend American society, another potential instance of extremism targeting critical infrastructure. Skyler Philippi, 24, spent months plotting an attack on the Nashville area, where he hoped to further his “accelerationist” goals of bringing about an all-white culture, according to charging documents. While communicating with confidential sources and undercover FBI agents, Philippi said that he wanted to “attack high economic, high tax, political zones” and that it was “time to do something big.” Philippi, of Columbia, Tennessee, was...

I guess you can't fix stupid. Why would anyone vote for a hack, who publicly had a married boyfriend and paid him from taxpayer money? Something's very wrong with that.

‘There are layers of issues here of stalling tactics. It appears that they are trying to figure out what they need to win,’ a GOP observer said. Infamous for delays in counting ballots, it looks like Milwaukee’s Election Day tabulation will go long into the night once again amid tabulator and ballot security problems. Swing state Wisconsin’s most populous city will have to recount some 31,000 absentee ballots previously counted thanks to an unsealed tabulator, sources at Milwaukee’s Central Count location tell The Federalist. Each ballot must be recounted. It’s a mess, according to Republican observers at the scene. ‘Layers...

In a significant pro-life victory in the Florida 2024 election, voters defeated Amendment 4, which would have permitted abortion up to birth under specific circumstances. With 89% of the vote tabulated, Amendment 4 failed to secure the 60% needed to pass, getting just 57% of the vote. The amendment faced strong opposition from pro-life groups, religious organizations, and a broad coalition of voters concerned about the potential expansion of late-term abortions. “The demise of pro-abortion Amendment 4 is a momentous victory for life in Florida and for our entire country,” said SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “Thanks to Gov....

KEY FACTS Polymarket: Perhaps the most famous election betting player, the blockchain-based site still leaned toward Trump after the first closures, giving him 72% implied odds of victory compared to Harris’ 29% as of about 8:45 p.m. EST.

Two inscriptions from Hierapolis provide evidence of how gladiatorial contests were supervised. Gladiators were not, in fact, engaged in the chaotic, savage massacre of many people's imagination. On the contrary, the games were governed by detailed sets of rules and overseen by arbiters, or referees. These inscriptions, dedicated to local arbiters named Apollonios Menandros and Zosimos, describe the men as secunda rudes, or second umpires. If the city provided gladiators and referees for the games, it's possible there was a permanent gladiatorial organization in Hierapolis. This interpretation is supported by a grave stela found at the end of the nineteenth...

A voting site in Centre County, Pennsylvania was evacuated after a group of unidentified “disruptors” stormed the polling station, Daily Mail reported. According to the Centre County Report, local police ordered the evacuation around 7 p.m. ET as multiple individuals burst into the polling site. The identities of those involved, as well as their affiliations or motivations, remain undisclosed. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether the disruptors are linked to either of the leading campaigns. Daily Mail reported: Centre County Report journalist Haley Jacobs shared a clip of the scene, with multiple locals forced to stand in a parking lot...
