Republican DISASTER: Sarah Palin Loses to DEMOCRAT in Alaska!
Trumpist Republican candidate Sarah Palin has lost her special election to become the at-large Representative for Alaska in the US House of Representatives. After a decade-long break from political office, Palin tried to find a way back into power when Congressman Don Young died earlier this year after representing Alaska for 49 years. Palin survived the early round but ultimately lost in the state’s first test of ranked-choice voting. The winner in the race is Mary Peltola, a Democrat, who is a former state legislator who will become Alaska’s first indigenous member of Congress. This is a victory for a number of reasons: a Democrat was able to pull off a win in the red state of Alaska, this could mark the beginning of the end for Sarah Palin’s political career, and this is another defeat for Donald Trump and the Trumpian ideology. As Election Day 2022 draws closer, let’s hope this is a sign Republicans are handed even more defeats and Democrats are able to hold onto the House and Senate.
Trump Speaks After Incriminating Photos, Immediately Implodes
Donald Trump appeared on Real America’s Voice to talk mostly about the FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago home, and specifically the incriminating photos of top secret government documents that he had stored in the basement. Trump decided to focus on the argument few people are making which is that he was the one who had the sensitive material sprawled out on the floor, rather than the FBI agents having positioned them that way to take pictures. He said, “a lot of people think that when you walk into my office, I have confidential documents or whatever . . . like a slob, like I'm sitting there reading these documents all day long, or somebody else would be, right? So it is so dishonest when you look at it.” Trump is probably correct that it wasn’t him who put the documents all over the floor, but he is indeed a slob when it comes to work material. Pictures of his office at Trump Tower show papers all over his desk, so it’s not completely outside the realm of possibility that he would do something like this.

OOF: Joe Rogan Calls Kayleigh McEnany the Michael Jordan of Press Secretaries
Podcaster Joe Rogan is continuing down a right-wing slide, first telling people to vote Republican and now claiming that Trump’s final White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McCenany was the “Michael Jordan” of that job. Rogan was talking about ex-Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki and how she was a “propagandist” and avoided answering real questions. He then contrasted Psaki to McEnany and said he was impressed by Kayleigh’s binders and constant attempts to flip criticisms back on the media. Joe said, “She would like quote it back to them and stuff it in their face. That lady's the best ever at that job. She's the Michael Jordan of White House press secretaries.” Rogan seems to have fallen for Kayleigh’s confident way of speaking despite her entire presentation being smoke and mirrors. McEnany was perhaps the biggest liar, distorter of facts, and obfuscator to ever stand behind that podium but apparently, she was able to fool people like Joe Rogan.

Trump Cracks, Unleashes Dangerous 60-Post Tirade on Failing Website
Donald Trump went on a 60-post Truth Social screed, putting up everything from memes, to conspiracy theories, to the question, “why are people so mean?” It’s clear that the former president has an unhealthy relationship with social media. A normal person does not spend their entire day retweeting (or in Trump’s case “re-truthing”) dozens of posts. A normal person also does not go out of their way to create their own social media site when all of the major ones decide to kick them off for inciting violence and trying to end democracy in a country. Trump is clearly unstable and never should have been voted into power in the first place. After so many years of seeing just how unhinged he is, it’s incredible that a significant portion of the population wants to put him back in the Oval Office.
