It was a historic election night in Oregon on Tuesday, with three women running for governor and more women candidates running for office up and down the ballot than ever before.  KGW's election night analysts, Democrat Multnomah County Commissioner Susheela Jayapal and Republican strategist Rebecca Tweed, reflected on the midterm election in Oregon during this week's episode of "Straight Talk." Jayapal said that leading up to election night, the 2022 midterms were popularly described as a referendum on both the party in power in the White House and in the Oregon governor's office.  But rather than being a referendum, Jayapal said voters took a more nuanced approach for specific candidates. Democrats like Tina Kotek, who won the Oregon governor's race, were successful because they ran nuanced campaigns that touched on both issues and values, she said. Republican strategist Rebecca Tweed said that while it's disappointing that GOP candidate for governor Christine Drazan came up just short of winning the race, Republicans in Oregon can still point to some meaningful wins.  It wasn't a runaway race for Democrats, she said, who have been in power in the Oregon governor's office for nearly 40 years, and Drazan brought a lot of energy to her campaign and messaging that resonated with a lot of Oregonians.

First reported by Colorado Public Radio News, Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s office said department employees had sent the postcards on Sept. 27 after comparing a list of 102,000 names provided by the Electronic Registration Information Center, a nonprofit organization aiming to improve U.S. voter rolls and advocating residents to vote. “The Department has become aware that approximately 30,000 EBU [Eligible But Unregistered] postcard mailers were incorrectly sent to ineligible Coloradans,” a spokesperson for the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office told local media. “The office is undertaking an internal review of the incident and will take any corrective action that is warranted.” Griswold insisted noncitizens would not be allowed to register to vote. The postcards, which the office printed in English and Spanish, read, “A message from Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold . . . Our records indicate that you or your household may be eligible to vote, but do not appear to be registered at your current address.” The mailers did include that to vote that residents must be 18 years old by Election Day, a United States citizen, and a Colorado resident for at least 22 days before the upcoming election, according to Colorado Public Radio News. Griswold’s office said they plan on sending out correction mailers to the noncitizens, “reminding them that only those that meet the above requirements are eligible to register.” According to local media, while the office had compared the list of potential unregistered voters to local DMV records, the data had included noncitizen drivers with Colorado driver’s licenses which the state issues for noncitizens to drive legally. The National Council on State Legislatures website shows Colorado as one of at least 17 states, along with the District of Columbia, that issue driver’s licenses to non-U.S. citizens. However, the system did not distinguish their eligibility to vote. Sean Morales-Doyle, director of the Voting Rights Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, told The Journal that the system making a mistake indicates it works. Griswold is up for reelection in the November midterms, where she will face Republican Pam Anderson, the head of the state’s county clerks association. https://www.theepochtimes.com/exclusive-cdc-wont-release-review-of-post-vaccination-heart-inflammation_4786038.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport&src_src=partner&src_cmp=BonginoReport CDC Won’t Release Review of Post-Vaccination Heart Inflammation The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will not release its review of post-COVID-19-vaccination heart inflammation. The CDC has been performing abstractions on reports of post-vaccination myocarditis, a form of heart inflammation, submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. But the agency is saying that federal law prevents it from releasing the results. The abstractions “are considered medical records which are withheld in full from disclosure,” the CDC told The Epoch Times in a recent letter, responding to a Freedom of Information Act request. One of the exemptions in the act says that agencies can withhold materials that are “specifically exempted from disclosure by statute, if that statute (i) requires that the matters be withheld from the public in such a manner as to leave no discretion on the issue; or (ii) establishes particular criteria for withholding or refers to particular types of matters to be withheld; and (B) if enacted after the date of enactment of the OPEN FOIA Act of 2009, specifically cites to this paragraph.” The CDC pointed to the Public Health Service Act, which was enacted in 1944, and says that vaccine injury reports and other information that may identify a person shall not be made available to any person except the person who received the vaccine or a legal representative for that person. The information sought is available through the CDC website without details that would identify patients, the agency also said. The CDC said that it does not have a formal definition of “abstraction” but that it means the process of reviewing medical records, including autopsy reports and death certificates, and recording data in a database. “Please note that this definition means that any abstracted data, because they originate from medical records, is also considered medical records,” a CDC records officer told The Epoch Times in an email. Refusing to release the data raises concerns about transparency, according to Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder and president of the National Vaccine Information Center. “The stubborn refusal of officials heading up federal health agencies responsible for protecting the public health to come clean with Americans about what they know about COVID vaccine risks is stunning,” Fisher told The Epoch Times in an email. Fisher noted that the CDC has funded electronic medical record systems that collect personal health information and that the agency shares the data with a number of third parties, such as contractors and researchers. Fisher called for a congressional probe into what she described as “the disturbing lack of transparency on the part of federal agency officials, who granted COVID vaccine manufacturers an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to widely distribute the vaccines in December 2020 and have recommended and aggressively promoted the vaccines for mandated use ever since.” In response to a separate Freedom of Information Act request, the CDC initially said that it did not perform any abstractions or produce any reports on post-vaccination myocarditis. That request was for reports between April 2, 2021, and Oct. 2, 2021. The agency also falsely said that a link between myocarditis and the messenger RNA COVID-19 vaccines was not known during that time. A possible link between those vaccines, made by Pfizer and Moderna, became known in early 2021. Many experts now acknowledge the link is likely or definitely causal. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC’s director, said in a press conference in April 2021 that the agency had not detected a link between the vaccines and myocarditis.

The FDA, meanwhile, has refused to release the results of a different type of analysis on the VAERS data, claiming it cannot separate the results from protected internal communications. The agency is also withholding autopsies conducted on people who died after getting COVID-19 vaccines, pointing to exceptions laid out in the Freedom of Information Act.

Candidate Christine Drazan Knight’s donation to Drazan’s campaign comes after he donated $3.75 million to Independent candidate Betsy Johnson, signaling his strong dislike for Tina Kotek. Republican strategist Rebecca Tweed told KGW Knight’s donation said the two donations are not meant as an endorsement of either candidate but rather an attack against the Democrat candidate. The donation comes as Christine Drazan stands within striking distance of unseating Kotek in a deep blue state that has not elected a Republican governor since Vic Atiyeh in 1982.

A new Emerson College Polling survey shows former Oregon House Republican leader Drazan ahead of former state House Speaker Tina Kotek (D)–36 percent to 34 percent. Nineteen percent of those polled plan to vote for former Democrat state senator-turned independent Betsy Johnson. The poll was conducted between Sept. 30 – Oct. 1 with 796 very likely Oregon voters.

First reported by Colorado Public Radio News, Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s office said department employees had sent the postcards on Sept. 27 after comparing a list of 102,000 names provided by the Electronic Registration Information Center, a nonprofit organization aiming to improve U.S. voter rolls and advocating residents to vote. “The Department has become aware that approximately 30,000 EBU [Eligible But Unregistered] postcard mailers were incorrectly sent to ineligible Coloradans,” a spokesperson for the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office told local media. “The office is undertaking an internal review of the incident and will take any corrective action that is warranted.” Griswold insisted noncitizens would not be allowed to register to vote. The postcards, which the office printed in English and Spanish, read, “A message from Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold . . . Our records indicate that you or your household may be eligible to vote, but do not appear to be registered at your current address.” The mailers did include that to vote that residents must be 18 years old by Election Day, a United States citizen, and a Colorado resident for at least 22 days before the upcoming election, according to Colorado Public Radio News. Griswold’s office said they plan on sending out correction mailers to the noncitizens, “reminding them that only those that meet the above requirements are eligible to register.” According to local media, while the office had compared the list of potential unregistered voters to local DMV records, the data had included noncitizen drivers with Colorado driver’s licenses which the state issues for noncitizens to drive legally. The National Council on State Legislatures website shows Colorado as one of at least 17 states, along with the District of Columbia, that issue driver’s licenses to non-U.S. citizens. However, the system did not distinguish their eligibility to vote. Sean Morales-Doyle, director of the Voting Rights Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, told The Journal that the system making a mistake indicates it works. Griswold is up for reelection in the November midterms, where she will face Republican Pam Anderson, the head of the state’s county clerks association. https://www.theepochtimes.com/exclusive-cdc-wont-release-review-of-post-vaccination-heart-inflammation_4786038.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport&src_src=partner&src_cmp=BonginoReport CDC Won’t Release Review of Post-Vaccination Heart Inflammation The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will not release its review of post-COVID-19-vaccination heart inflammation. The CDC has been performing abstractions on reports of post-vaccination myocarditis, a form of heart inflammation, submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. But the agency is saying that federal law prevents it from releasing the results. The abstractions “are considered medical records which are withheld in full from disclosure,” the CDC told The Epoch Times in a recent letter, responding to a Freedom of Information Act request. One of the exemptions in the act says that agencies can withhold materials that are “specifically exempted from disclosure by statute, if that statute (i) requires that the matters be withheld from the public in such a manner as to leave no discretion on the issue; or (ii) establishes particular criteria for withholding or refers to particular types of matters to be withheld; and (B) if enacted after the date of enactment of the OPEN FOIA Act of 2009, specifically cites to this paragraph.” The CDC pointed to the Public Health Service Act, which was enacted in 1944, and says that vaccine injury reports and other information that may identify a person shall not be made available to any person except the person who received the vaccine or a legal representative for that person. The information sought is available through the CDC website without details that would identify patients, the agency also said. The CDC said that it does not have a formal definition of “abstraction” but that it means the process of reviewing medical records, including autopsy reports and death certificates, and recording data in a database. “Please note that this definition means that any abstracted data, because they originate from medical records, is also considered medical records,” a CDC records officer told The Epoch Times in an email. Refusing to release the data raises concerns about transparency, according to Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder and president of the National Vaccine Information Center. “The stubborn refusal of officials heading up federal health agencies responsible for protecting the public health to come clean with Americans about what they know about COVID vaccine risks is stunning,” Fisher told The Epoch Times in an email. Fisher noted that the CDC has funded electronic medical record systems that collect personal health information and that the agency shares the data with a number of third parties, such as contractors and researchers. Fisher called for a congressional probe into what she described as “the disturbing lack of transparency on the part of federal agency officials, who granted COVID vaccine manufacturers an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to widely distribute the vaccines in December 2020 and have recommended and aggressively promoted the vaccines for mandated use ever since.” In response to a separate Freedom of Information Act request, the CDC initially said that it did not perform any abstractions or produce any reports on post-vaccination myocarditis. That request was for reports between April 2, 2021, and Oct. 2, 2021. The agency also falsely said that a link between myocarditis and the messenger RNA COVID-19 vaccines was not known during that time. A possible link between those vaccines, made by Pfizer and Moderna, became known in early 2021. Many experts now acknowledge the link is likely or definitely causal. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC’s director, said in a press conference in April 2021 that the agency had not detected a link between the vaccines and myocarditis.

Two women have served as governor of Oregon: Democrat Barbara Roberts, who served from 1991 to 1995 and current Democratic Governor Kate Brown, who has held the office since 2015. Today, women hold the majority of statewide elective executive offices in Oregon. In a little more than a month, voters will determine the next governor of Oregon; Democrat Kate Brown is term-limited. Oregon voters made history in 2016, when they elected Brown, who's openly bisexual, making her the first openly LGBT person elected governor in any state. Now, Oregon is the site of another historic gubernatorial contest. Three women are vying for the state's top office: Tina Kotek (D), Christine Drazan (R), and Betsy Johnson (I). All 3 women served in the Oregon state legislature. Democrat Tina Kotek, the first openly Lesbian woman to serve as Speaker of the Oregon House, served from 2013 to 2022. Republican Christine Drazan served as the Minority Leader of the Oregon House from 2019 to 2021. In that role, she was in direct conflict with then-Speaker Kotek. Betsy Johnson is a former member of both the Oregon House (2001-2005) and Senate (2005-2021). During the entirety of her tenure, she ran and served as a Democrat, but she is now running in the gubernatorial election as an Independent. Notably, Johnson's successful petition drive to qualify for the ballot was bolstered by cash from Nike founder Phil Knight and several timber and construction companies and groups. The race has attracted over $30 million in campaign contributions, with national party groups backing Kotek and Drazan. Already, the three candidates have differed sharply on their stances on issues like guns, law enforcement, housing, and education. The urban-rural divide in American politics is a factor shaping each candidates stance. And in a year where abortion is on the ballot, the issue remains a point of contention in the race where Republican Christine Drazan maintains a "pro-life" stance as abortion access becomes "increasingly important" for Oregonians. We sat down with Alison Gash, an associate professor of Political Science at the University of Oregon and Hillary Borrud, State Government and Politics Reporter for The Oregonian, for more on this unique 3-way, SHElection!

Oregon Catalyst brings UnCommon Sense this article, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KOTEK'S AND DRAZAN'S ADS: By Oregon Campaign Watch, An astute reader sent us this note on the notable difference between Oregon Governor candidate Tina Kotek's ads and Christine Drazan's. “There could be no clearer illustration of the difference between the left and the right than the YouTube commercials of Christine Drazan and Tina Kotek. Drazan's commercials talk about Oregon, Kotek's about Kotek. But the most telling difference is this: Drazan's commercials allow you to ‘skip' them after a few seconds and get back to your YouTube viewing, Kotek forces you to watch her lengthy, narcissistic commercials in their entirety.” What do our hosts think of the ads themselves. Following the article reading, Billy presents and ad from Christine Drazan and two ads from Tina Kotek.

Fauci, who has led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984 and joined the National Institute of Health in 1968, was President Joe Biden's chief medical advisor since he became president in 2021. Fauci has said for months that he has considered retiring. In an ABC podcast interview from March, Fauci said that he would stay in his role until "we get out of the pandemic phase," and added that "we might already be there." Fauci was asked if retirement or stepping back were options for him, to which he said "I certainly have, because I have to do it some time. I can't stay at this job forever, unless my staff find me slumped over at my desk one day. I'd rather not do that," he said. President Biden praised Fauci in a statement released on Monday, according to the Washington Post, saying: "Whether you’ve met him personally or not, he has touched all Americans’ lives with his work. I extend my deepest thanks for his public service. The United States of America is stronger, more resilient, and healthier because of him." Fauci has a lot to look forward to in his retirement. According to Forbes, Fauci is likely to rake in the highest-ever government retirement package in US history, "with an annual payment exceeding $350,000." https://www.theepochtimes.com/fence-surrounding-bidens-delaware-beach-house-costs-about-500000-records-show_4678740.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport Fence Surrounding Biden’s Delaware Beach House Costs About $500,000, Records Show The price tag of a taxpayer-funded project to build a barrier around President Joe Biden’s Delaware beach house has grown to nearly $500,000, federal spending records suggest. In September 2021, the Homeland Security Department paid $456,548 to Delaware-based construction company Turnstone Holdings for the purchase and installation of “security fencing” surrounding the president’s Rehoboth Beach property, according to USAspending.gov, an online database operated by the Treasury Department. The database entry shows two additional payments since then. One bill of $6,844 was paid in late November 2021 to cover expenses resulting from extra “gravel pads” and “crane services.” This was followed by another $26,933 bill in June, described as simply “to add funds to current project.” The overall cost of the fence now stands at $490,324. Although the project was originally expected to be completed by the end of 2021, its “potential end date” has been pushed back to June 6, 2023, marking a delay of more than 18 months. The exact reason for the setbacks remains unclear. The Epoch Times has reached out to the Homeland Security Department, listed as the main awarding agency and funding office for the contract, for further information. Amid a record influx of illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border, the costly presidential residence fence has drawn mockery from critics of the president’s border policy. “So walls work at Joe Biden’s beach house but not the Southern border?” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) wrote on Twitter. According to data released by the Biden administration, the number of apprehensions at the nation’s southern border is reaching the 2 million benchmark for the first time in history. In July, Border Patrol reported 181,552 arrests of individuals who tried to illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border, a 5.6 percent drop from the 192,418 reported in June. With just two months before the fiscal year 2022 wraps up, the agency has already made more than 1.81 million arrests, beating fiscal year 2021’s record of 1.66 million. In the border town of Yuma, Arizona, the state is spending $6 million to fill a quarter-mile gap in the border barrier with shipping containers. Those 8,800-pound, 40-by-9-foot containers will be topped with razor wire once tractor-trailers move them into position. Tim Roemer, Arizona’s director of Homeland Security, told Phoenix radio station KTAR-FM that his state couldn’t wait any longer. https://thepostmillennial.com/oregon-gubernatorial-race-could-go-for-the-gop?utm_campaign=64487 Oregon gubernatorial race could go for the GOP The Oregon gubernatorial race in the historically blue state has gone from "Leans Democratic" to "Toss-Up," according to the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia Crystal Ball rating. The last time Republicans won a gubernatorial race in Oregon was in 1982. Democratic Governor Kate Brown is term-limited and according to the rating is "deeply unpopular, and there may be some desire for change in the Beaver State." According to the Center, "the state is hosting an unusual 3-way race among a trio of women who are all recent members of the state legislature: former state House Speaker Tina Kotek (D), former state House Minority Leader Christine Drazan (R), and former state Sen. Betsy Johnson, an unaffiliated, former Democrat who is more conservative than most of the members of her former party and who has been backed by Nike co-founder Phil Knight." "The race sets up an unusual situation where the winner may not need to crack even 40%," noted the Center. "Additionally, the 3 candidates all served concurrently in the state legislature, which should provide the campaigns ample opportunities to draw contrasts among the candidates." The rating added, "Johnson, the independent, would still be the most surprising winner, and Kotek and Drazan both will be working to try to prevent their voters from flocking to her banner. There’s just enough uncertainty here that we’re looking at the race as a Toss-up now." The Center for Politics also noted that there are toss-up governorships in Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, and Kansas. Ya hear that folks? You may not have to flee your blue states afterall!

So, you guys have all probably heard that Brian Stelter, the human potato, was removed from CNN, but how about this? https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2022/08/21/is-don-lemon-the-next-to-be-purged-from-cnn-n2612030 CNN Appears to Be Cleaning House. Will Don Lemon Be Next? Spencer had the news about CNN's Brian Stelter this week. He's gone. The host of "Reliable Sources" was given the ax amid CNN's front office shake-up and reorganization of the news outlet's coverage, which has been pilloried as pro-Democratic Party propaganda. The new management at CNN wants to return to the days when CNN was more straight news, less drama, and not the subject of attacks over media bias for peddling explicit Democratic National Committee talking points. Longtime legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin also announced he was leaving, opting to retire and write a book. Toobin had emerged from the wilderness after The New Yorker fired him in 2020 following a humiliating incident where he exposed himself to the magazine's staff during a Zoom call. When Stelter was given the boot, people asked if Don Lemon, another insufferable fixture at the network, would be next. That could be in the cards, as a source is spilling the names of who's next on the butcher's bill. Yes, Don Lemon is on there: If Trump runs again, the network will need Lemon, Acosta, and others to kick the hornet's nest again. At the end of the day, while I know gutting CNN of their liberal cancers would be optimal, it's also a business. So, I could see this going either way regarding these potential firings. The new top brass could get rid of these folks and tread water for 2024, hoping their recent relaunch doesn't implode. Or they do a 180-degree turn, keep the Trump-hating hosts and contributors, and make a boatload of cash again. https://thepostmillennial.com/97-percent-of-execs-say-us-in-recession-despite-bidens-definition-change?utm_campaign=64487 97 percent of execs say US in recession despite Biden's definition change The Biden administration changed the definition of the word recession in July, prior to the release of numbers that showed the US was in a recession, in order to be able to make the claim that the US was not in a recession. Despite this, a large number of US executives believe the country is now in a recession. Stifel Financial conducted a survey that shows 18 percent of business owners, executives, and investors consider the US economy already in a recession, compared to 79 percent that expect a downturn within the next 18 months. The standard definition of the word is a decline in GDP for two consecutive quarters, while the new, Biden definition links the word to unemployment numbers. Only three percent believe the US could conceivably avoid a recession within the next 18 months, according to the Daily Mail. According to the survey, businesses believe labor shortages, inflation, supply chain disruptions, and a recession are the biggest threats to profitability. 53 percent of executives expect inflation risk to remain a challenge to their assets and interests for the next two quarters to a year. 43 percent expect an economic decline to last for longer than that. According to the Labor Department, the US consumer price index was up 8.5 percent in July from a year ago. Though that was lower than the 9.1 percent increase in June, it was still above the Federal Reserve's two percent target rate. Inflation is the highest it has been in 40 years. The cost of goods has spiked hitting low-income and middle-class families the hardest. Food prices have continued to increase, with the cost of groceries increasing 13.1 percent in July from the previous year. The Biden administration continues to deny that the country is in a recession, despite the negative economic growth for a second consecutive quarter. President Joe Biden and members of the administration argue that metrics like record job growth and steady levels of consumer spending show the country is not in a recession. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has also said that he "doesn’t think the US is currently in a recession." In September, the Federal Reserve is expected to announce if they are raising interest rates again for a third consecutive hike to help curb inflation. Raising the interest rates has had other side effects. According to the National Association of Realtors, buying a home in the US is the least affordable it has been in 33 years as mortgages spike and home prices hit record highs. Rents have also been jumped in many markets, as families that have been priced out of buying a home drive up the demand for rentals. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/leon-edwards-knocks-out-champion-kamaru-usman-kick-head-stuns-ufc-world Leon Edwards knocks out champion Kamaru Usman with kick to the head, stuns UFC world Leon Edwards stunned Kamaru Usman and the rest of the mixed martial arts world on Saturday night with a knockout kick in the fifth round of their bout at UFC 278. Edwards snatched the UFC welterweight championship from Usman with the win. The knockout blow came with 56 seconds remaining in the match. "That crosshead kick landed perfectly," Edwards said. https://twitter.com/i/status/1561215902187720706 - Play Video Usman, considered to be the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the sport, was likely on his way to a decision victory against Edwards before the kick. He controlled Edwards throughout the third round and led on the judge’s scorecard 39-37. But Edwards landed the shocking blow to put the "Nigerian Nightmare" on his back. Edwards has 10 wins and one no contest since he lost to Usman in December 2015 at UFC on FOX 17. The victory over Usman was the 20th of his career. "The octagon belongs to nobody. No man is meant to hold the belt for that long. I said all week I felt like this was my moment. This is how it was meant to play out," he said, adding he felt like he had more to show.

Fauci, who has led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984 and joined the National Institute of Health in 1968, was President Joe Biden's chief medical advisor since he became president in 2021. Fauci has said for months that he has considered retiring. In an ABC podcast interview from March, Fauci said that he would stay in his role until "we get out of the pandemic phase," and added that "we might already be there." Fauci was asked if retirement or stepping back were options for him, to which he said "I certainly have, because I have to do it some time. I can't stay at this job forever, unless my staff find me slumped over at my desk one day. I'd rather not do that," he said. President Biden praised Fauci in a statement released on Monday, according to the Washington Post, saying: "Whether you’ve met him personally or not, he has touched all Americans’ lives with his work. I extend my deepest thanks for his public service. The United States of America is stronger, more resilient, and healthier because of him." Fauci has a lot to look forward to in his retirement. According to Forbes, Fauci is likely to rake in the highest-ever government retirement package in US history, "with an annual payment exceeding $350,000." https://www.theepochtimes.com/fence-surrounding-bidens-delaware-beach-house-costs-about-500000-records-show_4678740.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport Fence Surrounding Biden’s Delaware Beach House Costs About $500,000, Records Show The price tag of a taxpayer-funded project to build a barrier around President Joe Biden’s Delaware beach house has grown to nearly $500,000, federal spending records suggest. In September 2021, the Homeland Security Department paid $456,548 to Delaware-based construction company Turnstone Holdings for the purchase and installation of “security fencing” surrounding the president’s Rehoboth Beach property, according to USAspending.gov, an online database operated by the Treasury Department. The database entry shows two additional payments since then. One bill of $6,844 was paid in late November 2021 to cover expenses resulting from extra “gravel pads” and “crane services.” This was followed by another $26,933 bill in June, described as simply “to add funds to current project.” The overall cost of the fence now stands at $490,324. Although the project was originally expected to be completed by the end of 2021, its “potential end date” has been pushed back to June 6, 2023, marking a delay of more than 18 months. The exact reason for the setbacks remains unclear. The Epoch Times has reached out to the Homeland Security Department, listed as the main awarding agency and funding office for the contract, for further information. Amid a record influx of illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border, the costly presidential residence fence has drawn mockery from critics of the president’s border policy. “So walls work at Joe Biden’s beach house but not the Southern border?” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) wrote on Twitter. According to data released by the Biden administration, the number of apprehensions at the nation’s southern border is reaching the 2 million benchmark for the first time in history. In July, Border Patrol reported 181,552 arrests of individuals who tried to illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border, a 5.6 percent drop from the 192,418 reported in June. With just two months before the fiscal year 2022 wraps up, the agency has already made more than 1.81 million arrests, beating fiscal year 2021’s record of 1.66 million. In the border town of Yuma, Arizona, the state is spending $6 million to fill a quarter-mile gap in the border barrier with shipping containers. Those 8,800-pound, 40-by-9-foot containers will be topped with razor wire once tractor-trailers move them into position. Tim Roemer, Arizona’s director of Homeland Security, told Phoenix radio station KTAR-FM that his state couldn’t wait any longer. https://thepostmillennial.com/oregon-gubernatorial-race-could-go-for-the-gop?utm_campaign=64487 Oregon gubernatorial race could go for the GOP The Oregon gubernatorial race in the historically blue state has gone from "Leans Democratic" to "Toss-Up," according to the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia Crystal Ball rating. The last time Republicans won a gubernatorial race in Oregon was in 1982. Democratic Governor Kate Brown is term-limited and according to the rating is "deeply unpopular, and there may be some desire for change in the Beaver State." According to the Center, "the state is hosting an unusual 3-way race among a trio of women who are all recent members of the state legislature: former state House Speaker Tina Kotek (D), former state House Minority Leader Christine Drazan (R), and former state Sen. Betsy Johnson, an unaffiliated, former Democrat who is more conservative than most of the members of her former party and who has been backed by Nike co-founder Phil Knight." "The race sets up an unusual situation where the winner may not need to crack even 40%," noted the Center. "Additionally, the 3 candidates all served concurrently in the state legislature, which should provide the campaigns ample opportunities to draw contrasts among the candidates." The rating added, "Johnson, the independent, would still be the most surprising winner, and Kotek and Drazan both will be working to try to prevent their voters from flocking to her banner. There’s just enough uncertainty here that we’re looking at the race as a Toss-up now." The Center for Politics also noted that there are toss-up governorships in Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, and Kansas. Ya hear that folks? You may not have to flee your blue states afterall!

So, you guys have all probably heard that Brian Stelter, the human potato, was removed from CNN, but how about this? https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2022/08/21/is-don-lemon-the-next-to-be-purged-from-cnn-n2612030 CNN Appears to Be Cleaning House. Will Don Lemon Be Next? Spencer had the news about CNN's Brian Stelter this week. He's gone. The host of "Reliable Sources" was given the ax amid CNN's front office shake-up and reorganization of the news outlet's coverage, which has been pilloried as pro-Democratic Party propaganda. The new management at CNN wants to return to the days when CNN was more straight news, less drama, and not the subject of attacks over media bias for peddling explicit Democratic National Committee talking points. Longtime legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin also announced he was leaving, opting to retire and write a book. Toobin had emerged from the wilderness after The New Yorker fired him in 2020 following a humiliating incident where he exposed himself to the magazine's staff during a Zoom call. When Stelter was given the boot, people asked if Don Lemon, another insufferable fixture at the network, would be next. That could be in the cards, as a source is spilling the names of who's next on the butcher's bill. Yes, Don Lemon is on there: If Trump runs again, the network will need Lemon, Acosta, and others to kick the hornet's nest again. At the end of the day, while I know gutting CNN of their liberal cancers would be optimal, it's also a business. So, I could see this going either way regarding these potential firings. The new top brass could get rid of these folks and tread water for 2024, hoping their recent relaunch doesn't implode. Or they do a 180-degree turn, keep the Trump-hating hosts and contributors, and make a boatload of cash again. https://thepostmillennial.com/97-percent-of-execs-say-us-in-recession-despite-bidens-definition-change?utm_campaign=64487 97 percent of execs say US in recession despite Biden's definition change The Biden administration changed the definition of the word recession in July, prior to the release of numbers that showed the US was in a recession, in order to be able to make the claim that the US was not in a recession. Despite this, a large number of US executives believe the country is now in a recession. Stifel Financial conducted a survey that shows 18 percent of business owners, executives, and investors consider the US economy already in a recession, compared to 79 percent that expect a downturn within the next 18 months. The standard definition of the word is a decline in GDP for two consecutive quarters, while the new, Biden definition links the word to unemployment numbers. Only three percent believe the US could conceivably avoid a recession within the next 18 months, according to the Daily Mail. According to the survey, businesses believe labor shortages, inflation, supply chain disruptions, and a recession are the biggest threats to profitability. 53 percent of executives expect inflation risk to remain a challenge to their assets and interests for the next two quarters to a year. 43 percent expect an economic decline to last for longer than that. According to the Labor Department, the US consumer price index was up 8.5 percent in July from a year ago. Though that was lower than the 9.1 percent increase in June, it was still above the Federal Reserve's two percent target rate. Inflation is the highest it has been in 40 years. The cost of goods has spiked hitting low-income and middle-class families the hardest. Food prices have continued to increase, with the cost of groceries increasing 13.1 percent in July from the previous year. The Biden administration continues to deny that the country is in a recession, despite the negative economic growth for a second consecutive quarter. President Joe Biden and members of the administration argue that metrics like record job growth and steady levels of consumer spending show the country is not in a recession. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has also said that he "doesn’t think the US is currently in a recession." In September, the Federal Reserve is expected to announce if they are raising interest rates again for a third consecutive hike to help curb inflation. Raising the interest rates has had other side effects. According to the National Association of Realtors, buying a home in the US is the least affordable it has been in 33 years as mortgages spike and home prices hit record highs. Rents have also been jumped in many markets, as families that have been priced out of buying a home drive up the demand for rentals. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/leon-edwards-knocks-out-champion-kamaru-usman-kick-head-stuns-ufc-world Leon Edwards knocks out champion Kamaru Usman with kick to the head, stuns UFC world Leon Edwards stunned Kamaru Usman and the rest of the mixed martial arts world on Saturday night with a knockout kick in the fifth round of their bout at UFC 278. Edwards snatched the UFC welterweight championship from Usman with the win. The knockout blow came with 56 seconds remaining in the match. "That crosshead kick landed perfectly," Edwards said. https://twitter.com/i/status/1561215902187720706 - Play Video Usman, considered to be the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the sport, was likely on his way to a decision victory against Edwards before the kick. He controlled Edwards throughout the third round and led on the judge’s scorecard 39-37. But Edwards landed the shocking blow to put the "Nigerian Nightmare" on his back. Edwards has 10 wins and one no contest since he lost to Usman in December 2015 at UFC on FOX 17. The victory over Usman was the 20th of his career. "The octagon belongs to nobody. No man is meant to hold the belt for that long. I said all week I felt like this was my moment. This is how it was meant to play out," he said, adding he felt like he had more to show. "That wasn’t my best performance, and I did not feel myself in this. I feel like I have much more to offer." The win left UFC fighters and fans astounded.

Rep. Christine Drazan is a state representative from rural Clackamas County, serving as the House Republican Leader (a position she was elected to after only 9 months in the legislature, a remarkable feat). She joined the pod to talk about the differences in the Oregon Legislature from when she worked as a staffer in the 1990s to today, sexual harassment in the workplace, and and Oregon's response to the pandemic. Rep. Drazan has a unique perspective on how the GOP could regain traction in Oregon in a post-Trump political landscape.

Yvonne Drazan es la Vice Presidenta de Peer Music, la editora independiente más grande del mundo, en la costa oeste de los Estados Unidos de Norteamerica para el mercado latino. Su carrera empezó desde muy joven cuando fundó Club Rock en Español (CREE) en la ciudad de Los Angeles. EL CREE comenzó como una especie de fan club de bandas de rock latinas que luego se convirtió en una agencia de "street marketing" que ayudo al desarollo de el movimiento del rock latino en US. Yvonne luego entra al circuito de las disqueras coenzando por EMI Latin a trabajar con artistas tales como Selena Quintanilla, Alvaro Torres, John Secada, entre otros. De ahí le surge la oortunidad de irse a trabajar como road manager de algunas bandas de rock y luego regresa a trabajar en el mercado americano en RHINO Records donde colaboró con artistas como Ramones, Los Lobos, The Sugar Hill Gang, Curtis Blow, Devo, entre otros. Años después regresa al mercado latino a trabajar como Label Manager de la disquera de Gustavo Santaolalla, SURCO, donde el repertorio de artistas incluía a Juanes, Molotov, Bajo Fondo, entre otros. Luego de años corriendo la disquera, entra al mundo de las editoras donde lleva más de 18 años. Te invitamos a que escuches una mujer que ha luchado por lo que ha logrado, no se ha dejado encajonar por los standares de la ndustria y ve los prejuicios como retos para ser mejor cada día. Drazan ha sido reconocida como Latin Power Player dos años consecutivos por la revista Billboard y no es para menos. Es una rebelde por naturaleza y eso la hace exitosa. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jafet-santiago/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jafet-santiago/support
