FAFO TIME
The title refers to the seven Indiana State Senators who voted against redistricting last year and were up for re-election this year.
Five of the seven lost bigly and one other supposedly won by THREE votes. Recount underway.
If you live in Georgia, especially Fulton County, be sure to read story #4.
1. Trump revenge tour meets Indiana RINOs ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐In the words of Jackie Gleason, “How sweet it is!”
Indiana’s Senate defectors finally learned that voting against your own party’s redistricting map is a great way to turn your political career into a cautionary tale. Five of seven incumbents were vaporized by Trump‑endorsed challengers — margins so lopsided they looked like they were tallied by a North Korean election intern. Pence’s endorsement, meanwhile, proved about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. The message from voters was simple: “Fairness” is cute, but not when it costs two House seats.
2. Vivek sweeps Ohio ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (I am cautiously wary of Vivek.)
News outlets reported that Vivek Ramaswamy won the GOP nomination for Ohio governor, and pundits immediately declared the general election “razor‑thin,” which is media‑speak for “we haven’t looked at a map since 2006.” Ohio is red, Vivek is loaded, and Democrats nominated the woman many Ohioans still call “Dr. Lockdown.” If Vivek avoids unforced errors, this race is less “nail‑biter” and more “don’t trip on the way to the podium.”
3. Media coordinates vaccine‑safety hit on FDA ⭐⭐⭐Best news? COVID is still drawing news stories and the noose is tightening.
Four major outlets all published the same story within hours, claiming the FDA “blocked” publication of vaccine‑safety studies. Same angle, same language, same timing — like someone hit “send all” on a press‑release template. Missing from the coverage: the studies were Biden‑era work based on flimsy 21‑day windows and were withdrawn because the authors “drew broad conclusions not supported by the data.” The outrage wasn’t scientific; it was political. Translation: the old gatekeepers are panicking because they’re losing control of the narrative.
4. Fulton County lawyers up against grand jury subpoena — squinting at the lights coming on ⭐⭐⭐⭐Five stars when this investigation concludes with heads rolling (rhetorically speaking, of course, and after a fair trial).
The DOJ subpoenaed the names and contact info of roughly 3,000 Fulton County election workers from 2020. Instead of proudly defending their “most secure election in history,” county officials hired a high‑priced D.C. defense attorney and begged a judge to quash the subpoena. Their statute‑of‑limitations argument landed with all the credibility of a teenager insisting he definitely wasn’t near the cookie jar. The subpoena looks like classic “build the pyramid” prosecution strategy: start at the bottom, find the person who talks, and work upward. If everything was as immaculate as advertised, Fulton County wouldn’t be reacting like someone just flipped on the kitchen light. It’s a GRAND JURY subpoena!
