Were Smirnov's lawyers attempting to help him flee the U.S.?
I thought it was interesting last night when they apparently re-arrested Smirnov at his lawyer's office.
Now we might know why.
Last night:
Kyle Cheney
@kyledcheney
JUST IN: Alexander SMIRNOV, the former FBI informant charged with feeding false info about the Bidens, has been rearrested despite a magistrate's release order.
His lawyers say he was arrested while at their offices for a legal consultation.

Last night we learned DOJ re-arrested Smirnov after his release. Now we know why. A California judge seems to be suggesting his lawyers are complicit in his efforts to flee, in a remarkable line ordering detention for the FBI source whose lies propelled Biden impeachment efforts

WOW: The federal judge that revoked the bond of the GOP's star witness Alexander Smirnov did so over fears that his lawyers may have been trying to help him flee the country.

There's a pinball machine called "J6: Insurrection" currently exhibiting at CPAC

I took a look at the "J6: Insurrection" Pinball Game currently exhibiting at CPAC.
Combining real January 6 footage, an AI-generated Trump voice telling the player "extra ball," and real Trump quotes, the pinball machine features modes like "Stop the Steal" and "Babbitt Murder."
Jonathan Linowes, designer of the "J6: Insurrection" Pinball Game, tells me "the idea is to bring the truth of what happened on J6 to an audience that is not necessarily that political."
He says there's been "a lot of pushback from the virtual pinball community."

After Navalny was murdered by Putin, mourners were reading poetry in front of the monument commemorating Stalin's repressions right before mass arrests by the Kremlin gestapo began. Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Russia: Mass arrests happening throughout the country after people came out to mourn Navalny's murder by the Kremlin regime. This is in Saint Petersburg.

Another death or possible murder in Russia. He was a famous photographer arrested several times at protest rallies and took a photo that became famous and a symbol at Navalny protests. Dmitry Markov died today in Pskov at the age of 42

New York Times "full frontal assault" on Biden. They want Trump to win. They have made it very clear.
Let's accept it.
We're in a war on multiple fronts.
We are in a war against the Nazi pigs in the GOP.
We are at war with much of the mainstream press.
And yes, I know that I will get people defending the Times here, but I don't care.
They are wrong and I am right.
It's been going on for years.
Remember the Bush years and Judith Miller?
Ever read how the New York Times thought Hitler wasn't that bad?

@3vanSutton
The @nytimes
full frontal assault on Biden, based on the unverifiable claims of a partisan prosecutor, is one more example of how our elite media is in the tank for Trump. And it was all made inevitable when Merrick Garland handed the GOP this gift on a silver platter.

Today's NYT talks to experts who say Hur's claims about Biden's memory are hard to verify.
So does that mean NYT regrets yesterday's news analysis hyping those claims?
As I argue below, these analysis pieces are *choices.* There are better ones:

McCarthy and McDaniel both were strong fundraisers for the GOP. They've chased them both out.
Whatever you may think of him, Kevin McCarthy's big talent was being a good fundraiser. Ronna was too.
Article on McCarthy's fundraising:
With McCarthy out as speaker, House Republicans may lose their best fundraiser
https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2023/10/06/mccarthy-ouster-speaker-republican-fundraising
They've both been chased away.
Now the GOP is searching for a new chair.
Some Republicans are suggesting Mike Lindell! They are serious! 
Democrats are suggesting George Santos! 
Go ahead, GOP, lose more elections.

OH NOOOOOOOO!
First Republicans ousted fundraising machine Kevin McCarthy, then they ousted solid fundraiser Ronna McDaniel, soon they'll oust Mitch McConnell.
OH NOOOOOOOOOO!!! What will the GOP do with shittier fundraisers?

🚨 NEWS: Ronna McDaniel is OUT at the RNC
Democrats are SCARED to death
Remember this moment
This is a HUGE win for grassroots patriots who are tired of the UNIPARTY

The New York Times wants Paul Krugman to lie about the economy
Paul Krugman won the Nobel Prize in economics.
Bruce Bartlett
@BruceBartlett
The movement of the New York Times from the left to the right is the biggest untold media story of the last 25 years. It's disguised by the fact that the rest of the legacy media has moved further right.
Matthew Gertz
@MattGertz
Paul Krugman tells @GregTSargent that he gets "a little bit questioned" by Times editors when he writes that the Biden economy is doing well; they want him to give more credence to arguments that it isn't.

NEW: Paul Krugman admits to @GregTSargent
that editors at The New York Times give him pushback to “qualify” or focus on the negatives when he praises the Biden economy based on the empirical data.
This is the exact bias that so many of us have been calling out for years.

Border Patrol Union SUPPORTS The Senate Border Control Bill
The Border Patrol Union, which has been harshly critical of Biden, just endorsed the border deal. But Trump & Mike Johnson know better than they do. They endorsed Trump in 2020, and they say this is a good bill.
https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1754617611868893500
BREAKING: The Border Patrol Union has endorsed President Biden’s border legislation. This is a major win for President Biden and a significant loss for House Republicans credibility in the issue.
