Everyone invested in a Kamala Harris victory in November isn’t making even the faintest attempt at taking her seriously as a presidential candidate. She’s not one because she has no reason to run for president, no vision, no interest in the job.

The whole point of this herculean, gravity-defying exercise we’re in the midst of isn’t to make Kamala president. It’s to deny Donald Trump the White House. The only way that can happen is for election interference on behalf of Kamala in ways that were once unspeakable.

We’re already seeing it with inexplicable poll numbers (literally, no one can explain them); a national news media that went from acknowledging Kamala as a perpetual screw-up to heralding her as a glamour queen; and an all-hands cleanup effort to remake her reputation from undeniably incapable to Barack Obama redux.

We’re entering a new phase where Democrats and the media will not only pretend Kamala’s last three embarrassing years in office never happened, but they will lie about anything and everything from here forward and to a degree in no way tethered to reality.

Once-great New York Times columnist Thomas Edsall this week asked a bunch of “historians” and “experts” at Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and the like to envision a second Trump presidency. The result was the kind of unyielding, hysterical stream of horror fan fiction aspiring writers in high school post on internet forums at 3 a.m.

Montana’s Republican Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen certified a ballot measure on Tuesday night that will ask voters on Nov. 5 to amend their state constitution to “expressly provide a right to make and carry out decisions about one’s own pregnancy, including the right to abortion.”

Montana law currently prohibits abortion beyond “fetal viability,” which the state defines as beginning at 24 weeks gestation. The ballot measure if passed, however, would effectively ban the GOP legislature from passing any laws that limit abortion before that cutoff. It would also keep the government from holding abortionists accountable for misconduct like ending life in the womb late in pregnancy.

“CI-128 prevents the government from penalizing patients, healthcare providers, or anyone who assists someone in exercising their right to make and carry out voluntary decisions about their pregnancy,” the amendment states.

The proposal doesn’t simply ostracize the 55 percent of Americans who think ending life in the womb beyond the start of the second trimester, around 14 weeks gestation, should be “generally illegal.” It also uses vague language to deliberately prohibit the state from interfering with abortions at any point in pregnancy as long as a “healthcare professional determines it is medically indicated to protect the pregnant patient’s life or health.”

This sweeping modification to the state’s already radical permissions means practically any abortion could be construed to meet the “medically necessary” qualifier required for taxpayer funding under Montana’s Medicaid program.

“Montana allows abortion until a baby reaches viability and that apparently isn’t

Georgia’s Republican attorney general announced Monday his office would not conduct an investigation into Fulton County for its conduct during the 2020 election. The Georgia State Election Board (SEB) ruled in May that Fulton County repeatedly violated election law during the 2020 election.

Attorney General Christopher Carr said in a post on X on Aug. 1 that the state would “investigate specific claims of voter fraud.”

“Based on the facts and evidence, we stand ready to prosecute any voter fraud found in the State of Georgia,” Carr’s post continued.

The State of Georgia will investigate specific claims of voter fraud.

Based on the facts & the evidence, we stand ready to prosecute any voter fraud found in the State of Georgia.

Six days later the SEB voted 3-2 to ask Carr to investigate Fulton County, with members of the board specifically referring to a complaint labeled SEB 2023-025, which was filed by Kevin Moncla and Joseph Rossi. The complaint included allegations of roughly 3,000 “duplicate ballots” and nearly 18,000 votes “for which no physical ballot was in evidence.” In May, the SEB passed a motion finding that the county double-scanned 3,075 ballots, though it did not rule on the 17,852 votes allegedly missing ballot images or other allegations made in the complaint.

The resolution says if Carr does not investigate then the board can hire an independent investigator, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.
