The anti-Trump Lincoln Project is desperate to reverse Republican Glenn Youngkin’s momentum in Virginia’s governor’s race. So desperate in fact that they orchestrated a racist hoax in front of Youngkin’s campaign bus. The organization sent a small group of tiki torch-wielding demonstrators in a futile attempt to link Youngkin to a 2017 white-nationalist march in […]
Tuesday marks a seminal Election Day in the Commonwealth of Virginia. After two years of holding the majority in the General Assembly and 12 years of dominating at the statewide level, Democrats may, may have met their match with Republicans Glenn Youngkin, Winsome Sears and Jason Miyares. Now, victory will come down to the number, effectiveness […]
In contrast to Fox News’ latest survey, a new poll by The Washington Post-Schar School shows the Virginia governor’s race within the margin of error. However, Friday’s snapshot of the race becomes more interesting when one examines the numbers closely. (RELATED: Fox News Poll Has Youngkin +8) The poll shows Terry McAuliffe leading by one-point […]
Six-term congressman and prominent Trump critic Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) has announced that he will retire at the end of his term. The announcement follows the debut of a heavily gerrymandered congressional map by Illinois Democrats. The map, which is on its way to the desk of Gov. J.B. Pritzker, erased Kinzinger’s district. It will also […]
A new Fox News poll has Republican Glenn Youngkin leading by eight points in Virginia’s governor’s race. Whether or not it’s an outlier remains unclear. The Washington Post, Monmouth and CBS News/YouGov have polls coming out shortly. Regardless, the trending numbers aren’t coming out of nowhere. And if that kind of an upset happens on […]
A federal judge shot down the New York Police Department’s (NYPD) largest union’s temporary restraining order against Mayor de Blasio’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate with no test-out option. The Police Benevolent Association of the City of New York (NYC PBA) wanted to delay the mandate’s implementation. NYC PBA representatives argued that the policy doesn’t touch on […]

What do people die of? Well the CDC has that covered. They itemize the “underlying cause of death” into codes known as ICD-10 codes. This is actually a WHO standardization adopted here in the U.S. to categorize the causes of death. These are also used for insurance reimbursement. (There are entire professions built around this […]
The CDC Case Surveillance file FINALLY updated with data from its Oct. 1 release. The previous release was on Sept. 18. It’s always fun to study these various releases and examine the differentials with some scrutiny. I limited the comparable data to run through August 2021 which puts us at 552,699 deaths (yes, data REALLY […]
After losing his January U.S. Senate runoff, former Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) is mulling a dramatic political comeback. According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Perdue is seriously considering mounting a primary challenge against Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. The paper reports that Perdue has gone so far as to solicit advice from longtime political allies and major […]
Earlier on Wednesday, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said he didn’t like the idea of Democrats targeting ultra-wealthy Americans to help pay for their Build Back Better agenda. That alone came as a blow to progressives who’ve become demoralized through the negotiation process. Especially given that yesterday Democratic leaders said they were closer than ever to reaching […]
ALLEN: Don’t Let Government Stupidity Stop You From Making a Smart Choice
