US Political News and Trump’s China visit

A long post for nothing IMO. Off year, special election which Democrats poured millions into thinking they would sweep it based on the momentum of NJ and VA, which I had a good idea leading up to those elections the Democrat candidate would win.

If you look at the breakdown of TN-07, the only sliver Behn won was in the section of Nashville proper that was included in TN-07. Otherwise, Van Epps carried the rest of the district hands down.

Yeah, no need for another lecture about votes. I know how it works as well as you do. Just pointing out that outside the city proper, Van Epps won including TN's portion of Ft. Campbell.
 
President Donald Trump's administration said Tuesday that it will move to withhold SNAP food aid from recipients in most Democratic-controlled states starting next week unless they provide information about those receiving the assistance.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said at a Cabinet meeting Tuesday that the action is in the works because those states are refusing to provide data the department requested such as the names and immigration status of the aid recipients.

She said the cooperation is necessary in order to root out fraud in the program. Democratic states have sued to block the requirement.

That's more than the problem you actually describe here

First of all, whether or not this is an off year (by the way, the turnout number is similar to the mid-term than off year), the thing you failed to see is Behn is not a "candidate" of choice for Tennesse, she is a progressive, or you can even claim far left activtist, standing at a deep red state, we are not talking about a centrist, we are not talking about a Purple or Blue state. If this is a totally normal campaign, running a Progressive candidate in Tennessee, Behn would have lost by beyond -22; it's basically like what Sliwa got for the NYC mayor race.

As I said in the original post to @FuturePAF , you have to be really naive to think Dem can pick up TN-07, Van Epps is always going to win this, but by how much, against a progressive

That's the issue, because you have the dem out perform in Blue States, and you have the dem out perform (regardless on what number) in a Red State, again, say this swing is not 14 point, it's 7 points, you are looking at around 30-50 house GOP seats in jeapordy, anything less than a GOP +5 CPVI is not safe. Even with a +4 (so 1/3 of the swing in Tennessee), you are talking about 20 seats that is gonna be in trouble, most of them in the 7 swing states, some in blue states (for example, a +4 wing in New York would take out 3 or 4 NY GOP seats) and you only need 3 to flip the house, plenty of those are in the Blue States alone.

You can stretch the importance of an off-year election, but it's unlikely to be the case if she managed to win 14 points in one of the Reddest states in the US with the most incompatible candidate. And if you read the post-race analysis, Behn has an average +6 swing on the district outside Nashville. That's a lot, considering Trump only has around +3 in a reciprocal blue state district in 2024.

But hey, if you want to live in your bubble and all you want to hear is "This is an off-year election, and it didn't count," I am okay with that.

I’m seeing lots of Americans online posts . Totally agreeing with Trump?


 
Have been able to gather more data. Will post it later. Behn only won in the sliver of Nashville proper that is part of TN-07. Outside of that, including in Clarksville, Van Epps handed her her ass on a platter.

Need to reconfirm some numbers. As of Dec. 2nd, TN-07 has 177,504 registered voters. The turnout for this election was about 50%. A lot of people simply didn't care or are dealing with holiday preparations.
 
Update in the case:

FBI arrests suspect in DC pipe bomb case after 5-year investigation

The FBI arrested a suspect connected to the two pipe bombs found blocks from the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, marking a major breakthrough in a yearslong investigation.
www.foxnews.com www.foxnews.com

Suspect is a male living in Virginia. Article does not state if the female former DC cop is no longer a suspect.
 
So, it turns out the arrest in this case came from existing information the FBI already had. Bondi and Patel claim no new information was uncovered; just new investigators reviewing the case files.

The FBI supposedly had a lot of information already regarding the suspect yet chose to suppress it in order to focus on arresting grandmas who may have been in DC during the J6 event.
 
Because of the drugs involved will post this here. This dude had some serious firepower. In addition to what is noted in the article, the picture also shows a SAW. Dude has some serious connections to be getting his hands on all that. Also noted an MP-5 as well as HK-91 (G3) clone.

Florida sheriff calls massive drug operation '"Breaking Bad" on steroids' after record-breaking bust

Florida authorities busted a massive drug operation described as "'Breaking Bad' on steroids," seizing 92,000 pounds of illegal substances worth roughly $4.7 million.

Note that what was shown on the tables is legal to own in the US including the .50cal. But I don't get the impression he has all the necessary stamps for some of that hardware.
