Rule 1: Know who your voters are.

“There Was That Quid Pro Quo. And So She’s Got To Go.”

The lawyer who co-founded Meidas Touch’s “Legal AF” podcast, Michael Potok, has coined a phrase that seems inspired by Anti Vietnan War rallying cries.

See title above for clarity.

The “she” that he refers to is none other than District Judge Aileen Cannon, the Judge Cannon that dismissed 40 felony charges against Don the Con for stealing and then hiding classified documents.

According to this article in Newsweek, Potok claims that Judge Cannon has been seen at the top of a list list of candidates to be considered for appointment to US Attorney General should TFG win in the election next week.

The article speculates that while the information was “leaked” by the TFG campaign, it may have been an intentional leak to gauge public reaction.

Well, it’s nice to see that “The Gang Who Couldn’t Shoot Straight” still has a huge say in how they conduct their campaign. This information cannot be ignored by Appellate Judges for the 11th Circuit. Cannot have come at a worse time.

In considering Jack Smith’s appeal of Cannon’s dismissal of all charges in the case on the flimsiest excuse imaginable, there appears to be one more reason to overturn the dismissal: rank corruption.

Mind you, there are plenty of reasons to overturn Cannon’s dismissal. But this particular one really does take the wind out of any “double jeopardy” argument TFG’s lawyers might want to make.

There can be no “double jeopardy” when, at least with Aileen Cannon deciding the case, there was no jeopardy for him in the first place.

Record Breaking Campaign Donations

In the final 20 days of a given federal election, the FEC requires House, Senate and quarterly-filing presidential committees file a 48-Hour Notice (Form 6) anytime they receive a contribution of $1,000 or more.

Are you curious about how TFG’s “real” campaign committee was doing just before the fascist display at Madison Square Garden? So am I.

So it was fortuitous that Alfredo at the Dairy Queen passed a note to inform us that the haul taken in the interval before his “MSG Fascist Fest” of people donating more than $1,000 was a grand total of $5,164.08 from five donors.

This must be some sort of record.

I mean, that’s it. That’s all of it. That’s pitiful by anyone’s calculation and conveys a message all by itself.

But here’s the thing. I am a little flummoxed about why 4 of the 5 payers donated exactly $1,041.02.

See? $1,041.02!

I get it about the secret numbers that people use to convey their juvenile messages, but, aside from an error code from the Zoom app, this one has me beat.

Does anyone have any idea what the H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks this number could possibly mean? Please ask your fascist friends if you still have any.

America First At The MSG

Well it has been a while since we had an America First rally at Madison Square Garden. If you ask me it is long overdue for a repeat. So here we are again.

Here is the OG America First rally put on by the German-American Bund. See those guys in the aisles all dressed in brown shirts? Inspirational, don’t you think?

Here are the original America Firsters showing how illegal immigrants have all given them carpal tunnel syndrome.

Here are original America Firsters all dressed in white.

And here is the leader of the new America First Movement, again speaking at Madison Square Garden, riffing about how he has no teleprompter.

And at the risk of violating Godwin’s Law, do you know who else had no teleprompter?

The Enemies List Is Out!

October 26, 2024 By: Half Empty

The “official” enemies list for Bronzer Boy’s next term, brought to you by The American Accountability Foundation, a participant in Project 2025, has been released on their website.

Their website contains this informative banner that makes sure we all know they are deadly serious.


Actually, it’s just the “first tranche” of deep state “subversive leftist bureaucrats.” They promise more in the future.

What is disappointing with this first list is that the list of 10 names has no one that is recognizable from TFG’s many speeches on the subject: no “Shifty Schiff”, no “Crooked Hillary,” and no “Crazy Nancy.”

It’s all just a bunch of people that no one has ever heard of before.

Which makes it even more serious, you know. They diddle and twiddle away behind the scenes, away from the media lights where they do their evil, un-American deeds.

Richard Nixon’s Enemies List, the first of its kind known to Man, included such luminaries like congressmen (Allard Lowenstein, John Conyers, Ron Dellums), journalists (Daniel Schorr, Mary McGrory), and, curiously, actor Paul Newman.

Not these guys. TFG’s Enemies List includes just regular bureaucratic types along with their photos, job titles, salary, GS grade, and present work location.

They promise more to come in the future, including all of those lefties waging “lawfare” on Don the Con at the Dept. of Justice.

This is short because you still have a lot of reading to do. Heather Cox Richardson is a widely published historian with an interesting style that pulls the reader into an analysis of current events and parallels in history. She is a “juiced up” Doris Kerns Goodwin.

Here is her October 24th “Letters From An American” installment that she posted on Substack yesterday. It is particularly incisive and emphasizes, in this issue, Mark Twain’s observation that “history doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.”

You’re welcome.
