From TFA:

 

 

“We will be attacked,” he told his fans at his announcement. “We will be slandered. We will be persecuted just as I have been.”

 

 

"But, just like the early Christians who were similarly attacked, if you have unbending faith in me, your Lord and Saviour, we will triumph!

The NY Times - Mary Peltola Wins Bid to Serve Full Term in the House for Alaska

 

23 Nov 2022

 


Representative Mary Peltola, Democrat of Alaska and the first Alaska Native woman to serve in Congress, on Wednesday won a full term in the House, according to The Associated Press, holding back three conservative challengers.

 

Ms. Peltola first won the seat in an August special election to finish the term of Representative Don Young, a Republican who died in March. 

 

Her victory, which flipped the seat for Democrats for the first time in 50 years, was considered an upset against Sarah Palin, the former governor and vice-presidential candidate. 

 



An Alaskan Native Democrat beats Sarah Palin in Alaska.  Respect!   🙂🙂

The NY Times - Lisa Murkowski Wins Re-election in Alaska, Beating a Trump-Backed Rival

 

23 Nov 2022

 


Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, a centrist Republican, won a fourth full term on Wednesday, overcoming a conservative backlash against her independent streak and her vote to convict former President Donald J. Trump for incitement of insurrection after the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

 



Another brave woman. She voted to convict Trump and survived.  Respect!  🙂🙂

James Risen is a New York Times reporter, who wouldn't reveal source on a botched CIA operation.

The Intercept: I experienced Jack Smith’s zeal firsthand. Will Trump get the same treatment?

...Jack Smith was appointed special counsel to handle two ongoing criminal investigations of Trump
...
Most recently a war crimes prosecutor at The Hague, Smith is a longtime federal prosecutor known for his aggressiveness.

“I was described by Steve Bannon (and, sigh, many others) as a pit bull,” former Justice Department lawyer Andrew Weissmann, who worked on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Trump and Russia, tweeted.

“Jack Smith makes me look like a golden retriever puppy.”
...
The main question for Smith in the case will be how to narrow the investigation’s focus to bring an indictment of Trump under one or more specific criminal laws. Until now, prosecutors have focused on the role Trump and others played in arranging to have fake presidential electors put forward from key states, thus overturning Joe Biden’s victory in the Electoral College.

But Smith could broaden the investigation to include Trump’s involvement in the January 6 insurrection. Already, the Justice Department has brought seditious conspiracy cases against right-wing militia leaders involved in the insurrection; jury deliberations have begun in the sedition case against Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes and four others.

If he is truly aggressive, Smith could seek similar charges against Donald Trump.

Currently the US senate is split 49 Republicans and 48 Democrats. Republicans need a net gain of just one seat in the 2022 election to win the Senate.

The US Senate Georgia Republican Herschel Walker is in a run-off. Earlier this year he said the following.

“So, I said, ‘I believe in life.’ I believe in life. And I said, you know, if anyone wants to have an exception, I said, ‘Not in my book, “I said, ‘I’m sorry. I feel bad for anyone that’s a victim of any kind of crime.’ I do. I feel like that. That is terrible and that’s horrible, but we deal with that as it comes.”

But right now, to say that it is OK for a woman to kill her baby when they said, ‘Thou shall not kill,’ and I said, ‘I can’t square, I can’t get around that.’ So, I will always vote for what my religious beliefs tell me. … Not what people tell me to do just to go along to get along.”

The Youtube Channel "The Damage Report" is heavily biased to the left.

One of Trump's hand-picked losing governor candidates can't even get the current governor to give her the time of day!

 

I wonder if Trump will write her off as a "loser" (which she is) now?

BBC News - Donald Trump sued as New York Adult Survivors Act takes effect

 

today

 


Writer E Jean Carroll has sued Donald Trump in the US state of New York for allegedly raping her in the 1990s.

 

Ms Carroll is among the first to sue under the Adult Survivors Act, which came into effect on Thursday.

 

The state law ... allows victims to come forward if the sexual assault occurred when they were over the age of 18 and took place on a date that exceeds time limits that exists on most felonies.

 



 

Another brave woman.

You're correct it 50-49. Sorry

US News: Democrat Warnock’s lead over Republican Walker widens in new Georgia runoff poll

...The Georgia race will not determine which party controls the majority in the Senate, since Republicans were unable in the midterms to defeat any Democratic Senate incumbents, and one Democrat – Pennsylvania’s John Fetterman – flipped an open Senate seat.

Both parties are concerned that the diminished importance of the Georgia race will lead to lower voter turnout, although many Democratic strategists believe that the dynamics work in their favor.
...
t is not clear whether Trump will campaign for Walker in Georgia – or whether Trump's appearance would help his political protégé. After a disappointing showing in the midterms – including losses by candidates Trump backed – many leading Republicans are nudging the party to move past Trump as they seek to reclaim the White House and Senate in 2024.

Walker, who has long praised the former president, deflected a question last week on how he felt about Trump's endorsement.

"Right now Trump is running for president. I'm running for the Senate here in Georgia," Walker told Fox Business. "This is not Trump's race. This is Herschel Walker's race," he said, before adding that he was glad to have the endorsements of both Trump and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

Talk about flogging a dead horse. I hope whatever poor judge is assigned to look over this nonsense treats this case with the contempt it deserves (and throws it out immediately).

 

For Christ's sake, you lost, darlin' - move on and do something else with your life. You're absolutely wasting your time pursuing this.
