A very big day for Republicans in NV: They now have a rare statewide lead, have reduced the Clark firewall to almost nothing and the rural landslides are immense.
Long way to go, but Republicans had a historic day.

This person was revealed by Kash months ago and many others. It's a woman I think.
Initial investigation into US intelligence leak on Israeli attack planning focusing on who had access to documents
By Katie Bo Lillis and Evan Perez, CNN 10:52 AM EDT, Tue October 22, 2024
The publication on social media of two classified US intelligence documents detailingIsraeli preparations for an attack on Iran has set off a scramble inside the US government to discover how they were leaked, a closely held investigation in its early stages that is zeroing in on who had access to the documents. The FBI is leading the investigation, working with Pentagon investigators and the intelligence community, according to US officials briefed on the matter. The FBI confirmed the probe Tuesday.
“The FBI is investigating the alleged leak of classified documents and working closely with our partners in the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community. As this is an ongoing investigation, we have no further comment,” the bureau said in a statement. On Monday, theWhite House said publicly that there are presently no indications that more documentsbeyond those two had been leaked or would be published. (LIE the WH has a bunch of Iranians on the Advisors staff)
But the exposure of the two documents — which appeared to have been produced by two Defense Department intelligence entities, the National Security Agency and the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency — has deeply alarmed American officials at a profoundly sensitive moment in US-Israel relations.In recent days, investigators have worked to authenticate the documents and determine who could have had access to them, the officials said. That focus is one indication that, for now, the FBI and other investigators are working off the theorythat the breach most likely came from a government insider and not from a cyber intrusion.
Both documents were widely accessible products, according to two sources familiar with US intelligence. But at least one appears to be scanned from an officially printed briefing book. That could provide investigators with a critical jumping-off point: The Defense Department, like other federal agencies, tracks when employees print classified documents. The pool of people who printed these pages would be relatively small, these sources said.
But the investigation is still considered to be in its early stages, so no conclusions have been made, the officials say. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters Monday that officials do not yet know how the documents were released and that the Department of Defense is continuing its investigation. Kirby also said that“at this time” they have no reason to believe similar documents will be released.WTF???
“We don’t have any indication at this point that there’s an expectation that there will be additional documents like this finding their way into the public domain,” he said.The documents, dated October 15 and 16, began circulating online Friday after being posted on Telegram by an account called “Middle East Spectator.” They are marked top secret and have markings indicating they are meant to beseen only by the US and its “Five Eyes” allies— Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
One of the documents, which says it was compiled by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, says the plans involve Israel moving munitions around. Another document says it is sourced to the National Security Agency and outlines Israeli air force exercises involving air-to-surface missiles, also believed to be in preparation for a strike on Iran. CNN is not quoting directly from or showing the documents. Highlighting the sensitive nature of the leak, American officials were extremely tight-lipped about the investigation on Monday. Officially, multiple agencies declined even to confirm that an investigation is ongoing.
In a statement over the weekend, the Middle East Spectator account said it was “not aware of any additional leaked classified U.S. documents” and that it had “no connection to the original source, which we assume to be a whistleblower within the U.S. Department of Defense.”
According to one US official,it wasn’t what the documents described that is so worrying to the intelligence community but rather the fact that they leaked at all. Although it’s quietly accepted that the US spies even on its allies, to have American surveillance of Israel leaked publicly risks straining relations at a moment when the US is desperately trying to bring to a close the series of interconnected conflicts in which Israel is now embroiled.

'Selling Out': Elise Stefanik Slams Obama AG for Representing Chinese Military Firm in Pentagon Lawsuit
Blake Mauro October 21, 2024
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.) slammed Obama-appointed attorney general Loretta Lynch for "selling out" to the Chinese Communist Party by representing a U.S.-designated Chinese military firm in its lawsuit against the Pentagon.
Shenzhen DJI Technology Company (DJI), a Chinese drone manufacturer, is suing the Pentagon over its 2022 decision to add DJI to its blacklistof "Military Companies Operating in the United States," which are considered potential national security threats. In its lawsuit, DJI—which is one of the largest producers of drones in the world—alleged that the Chinese military label has negatively impacted its business and "violates the law and DJI’s due-process rights."
Stefanik said that Lynch "has turned her back on her nation, selling out to our greatest adversary Communist China and suing the United States on behalf of CCP-owned drone company DJI."
"Not only is her lawsuit full of factual errors, it is also an obvious effort by DJI to distract from CBP’s recent halting of DJI imports due to Uyghur slave labor concerns and a futile attempt to disrupt the momentum behind my unanimously passed Countering CCP Drones Act," the New York representative told National Review.
Stefanik—who wrote the Countering CCP Drones Act, which blocked DJI products from "operating on U.S. communications infrastructure"—also said that the drone company’s "sham lawsuit is not going to save them."

Meet Kamala Harris’s Far-Left Protégé She No Longer Wants To Discuss: Lateefah Simon, Who Calls the VP ‘Auntie,' Is on a Lifelong Crusade To Defund the Police and Keep Criminals Out of Jail
Susannah Luthi October 21, 20241/2
As Kamala Harris aggressively tacks to the center in her run for the presidency,back in her notoriously progressive birthplace of Oakland, one of her closest associates is also seeking national office.
Lateefah Simon, Harris’s longtime protégé, close friend, and early proponent of the "defund the police" movement, is running for Congress. But unlike Harris, Simon is proud of her progressive views. That might be why Harris, who once officiated Simon’s wedding, has not endorsed her mentee. And when Harris does speak of Simon, it's not in public but rather at private fundraisers, like the San Francisco soirée she held in August. Harris went "off-script" at the fundraiser—cameras were not allowed in—to thank Gov. Gavin Newsom (D.), Simon, and other California officials, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
But before she first ran for president in 2019, Harris, 59, maintained close—and public—ties to Simon, 47, for a time period spanning 20 years.The future vice president pushed Simon to finish college, gave her a government job, introduced her to her late husband, officiated their wedding, and eulogized him at his funeral. She also campaigned for Simon’s successful 2016 race to join the board of directors for the Bay Area’s crime-ridden BART public train system, where Simon would try to defund its police force by $2 million.
Simon has also spent years working for liberal billionaires, bankrolling efforts at left-leaning criminal justice reform and anti-police projects while—in her most recent job working for the wife of Netflix billionaire Reed Hastings—earning a salary of almost $558,000 a year.
And while the congressional candidate was selected to praise Harris at the Democratic National Convention, Simon spoke during the opening hour of the night’s programming, well before Oprah Winfrey and vice presidential candidate Tim Walz took the stage. In her speech, during which the vice president was nowhere to be seen, Simon said that during the four years she served under Harris, her mentor and then-San Francisco district attorney, the pair worked together "day in and day out."
"She saw my potential, my commitment, and the good work that we could do together," Simon said of her time in Harris’s office.
When an interviewer for San Francisco’s KQED this summer suggested that Harris and Simon’s relationship was "a little bit mentor and a little bit family," Simon said Harris "is auntie status, she is mentor status."
But the family-like relationship between the two women has become a one-way street as Harris runs for president. Simon continues to gush about Harris publicly, while her mentor has been largely silent. Indeed, by tying her own political history so closely to Harris, Simon could undercut the vice president’s attempts to appeal to moderate voters. Harris has touted her prosecutorial record, describing herself as "tough" and "fearless." (In 2020, she supported slashing police budgets, ending cash bail, and eliminating "mass incarceration.") The presidential nominee has also withdrawn her support for progressive causes like a fracking ban and Medicare for All, and repeatedly failed to explain her change of heart.
Harris, meanwhile, publicly ignored Simon's convention speech, which Simon said was moved or canceled several times before she took the stage. Harris and her campaign did not send out clips of the speech on social media, as it did for other speakers. And while the San Francisco Chronicle reported, without attribution, "that Harris personally asked Simon to introduce her to the world" at the convention, Harris did not attend proceedings the night Simon spoke.

Harris has also refrained from endorsing Simon, even as a who's who of California Democrats have, including former House speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Alex Padilla, Rep. Barbara Lee (whom Simon is running to succeed), and Attorney General Rob Bonta. Simon nonetheless told the Chronicle in September that " I’m going to be telling the story about how Kamala transformed my life for the rest of my life." (WOW when so many progressive wild democrats won’t support her, she must be much worse.)
Critics argue that the radical criminal justice reforms Simon played a key role in supporting while working for wealthy progressives sowed the seeds of the Oakland crime wave that led businesses to shutter and caused the governor to send in back-up prosecutors and police this year. Nevertheless, Simon is favored to win the Oakland congressional seat of longtime progressive Lee, who is leaving Congress after losing her Senate primary to Donald Trump nemesis Adam Schiff.
"Do we want another leader who has been the architect and funder of the national defund the police movement? I would say no," said Jennifer Tran, a Democrat and ethnic studies professor running against Simon. Despite her extensive progressive credentials, Tran is to the right of her opponent on crime. "Everyone can see how much these failed policies are harming our communities," she said.
Tran sees Simon’s campaign as simply "riding the coattails of Kamala Harris." Simon has refused to debate her opponents and, like Harris, offers few policy details.
Campaign representatives for Harris and Simon did not respond to requests for comment.
Harris, as San Francisco’s top cop, hired Simon in 2005 to run a program that scrubbed some first-time drug dealers’ criminal records if they went through school or job training. The move was unusual at the time, as it expanded the district attorney’s role beyond that of prosecutor. Both Harris and Simon have touted the program for cutting recidivism. Harris went on to become California’s attorney general, overseeing a 10 percent increase in violent crime statewide.
In 2011, Simon became the program director of the left-wing Rosenberg Foundation, which teamed up with Soros’s Open Society Foundations and California progressives to push a successful 2014 voter ballot initiative decriminalizing retail theft and drug dealing. Harris, then California’s attorney general, predicted on the ballot that it would send hundreds of millions in "criminal justice system savings" into school truancy prevention, addiction treatment, and victim help. Prosecutors across the state have blamed the measure for California’s rampant drug, homelessness, and crime problems—not to mention retailers such as Walgreens and CVS having to lock up many of their products due to a shoplifting epidemic—and California voters are on track to repeal most of it in November through a referendum supported by San Francisco's sitting Democratic mayor.
From 2016 until 2022, Simon served as president of the Akonadi Foundation, founded by progressive donors Quinn Delaney and Wayne Jordan, to remove police from Oakland schools and fund other anti-incarceration, anti-law enforcement endeavors. In that role, she collected some $2 million in salary, tax filings show. Jordan and Delaney together gave $1.5 million to Harris’s campaign in May and June, before she became the Democratic presidential nominee. They are also major backers of Simon’s campaign.
As Akonadi chief, Simon funneled money to radical Bay Area groups, including the Anti Police-Terror Project, which advocates for police abolition while reportedly enriching family and friends.She also directed funds to left-wing dark money powerhouses like the New Venture Fund and the Tides Foundation.
