Far right wins Austria election, boosting European right-wing surge
...
The Eurosceptic, Russia-friendly FPO held a slim lead in opinion polls for months over Chancellor Karl Nehammer's ruling conservative Austrian People's Party (OVP) in a campaign dominated by immigration and worries about the economy.
A far right party with Nazi roots is on the brink of power in Austria
Elections will be held on Sunday. Its leader, Herbert Kickl, has been branded as “Volkskanzler” or “People’s Chancellor,” by his party, a term the Nazis used to describe Hitler.
...
A win for the Freedom Party, or FPÖ, would not just have historical connotations ... it could tilt the balance of power between Russia and the West.

I should note that this is the guy running against Eugene Vindman.
There are legal difference, but consider that while Eric Adams' charges include accepting over $100,000 in undisclosed gifts, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has failed to disclose millions of dollars in gifts.
If you’re Derrick Anderson, a candidate running in an open race for Virginia’s seventh congressional district, you borrow a wife and daughters from a friend.

Can’t promote a childless dog dude in a party where the VP candidate won’t stop making creepy comments about childless cat ladies, after all.

The director of #Project2025 , Paul Dans, did not resign as was generally reported, per RealClearPolitics: he was fired after an investigation found repeated professional misconduct and mistreatment of colleagues—particularly women. On his way out, he asked for $3.1 million payout (he didn't get it).
Presidential Elections Aren’t Really That Close
___
Except that we have an Electoral College:
"Swing states, as we call them, are why the presidency has been decided by fewer than 290,000 votes, on average, since 2000. In 2016 and 2020, it was even tighter: A switch of just tens of thousands of votes in a handful of swing states would have reversed the outcomes."

ARE YOU REGISTERED TO VOTE ????
If Not : GO HERE to see how you can register. Some states deadlines are coming up to register for the 2024 Election:
If You Are: GO HERE and check your registration and then do it again in a few weeks. Republicans are having people removed from the rolls and many are going to show up to only find out then:
"Select your state or territory to confirm your voter registration status on your state election website"
We don't know what disruptions and inconveniences there will be on election day. If you have the option, consider early voting or an absentee ballot. I voted Tuesday in Arlington, Virginia, and there was no line. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes.
In an Unprecedented Move, Ohio Is Funding the Construction of Private Religious Schools
The state is giving millions in taxpayer dollars directly to private schools to help them renovate and expand their campuses. It may be the next frontier in the push to increase the use of school vouchers, proponents say.
