Say what you want about Trump, but you have to give him credit for bankrupting the Arizona, Colorado, Michigan, and Minnesota state Republican Parties.
Former President Donald Trump and even some of his key GOP rivals may be raking in money — but at the state level, it’s a different story. State Republican Parties in important parts of the country are going broke as they are taken over by extremists who don’t know how to organize or win elections, Jim Geraghty wrote for the conservative National Review on Tuesday.
“Even worse for the GOP, these aren’t just any states — Arizona, Colorado, Michigan, and Minnesota all rank as either key swing states or once-purple states that would be tantalizing targets in a good year,” wrote Geraghty.
The simple fact of the matter, he wrote, is that if the GOP underperforms for their fourth consecutive election cycle, “a key factor will be the replacement of competent, boring, regular state-party officials with quite exciting, blustering nutjobs who have little or no interest in the basics of successfully managing a state party or the basic blocking and tackling involved in helping GOP candidates win elections.”

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Abortion rights will be on the November ballot in Ohio.
The campaign backing a constitutional amendment proposal to protect abortion rights submitted enough valid signatures to qualify for the Nov. 7 ballot, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s office said Tuesday.
Ohioans United for Reproductive Rights needed 413,487 signatures from registered voters in half of Ohio’s 88 counties, signed by no fewer than 5% of the electors of that county, to qualify for the ballot. LaRose said in a letter to the campaign it had achieved that goal, submitting 495,938 total valid signatures from 55 counties.
The campaign had submitted over 710,000 signatures July 5. During the following weeks, county boards of election verified each of the signatures, that the signers were registered voters in Ohio, and whether the address on their voter registrations matched the address on the abortion rights petition. Tuesday was the deadline for LaRose to certify the work of the county boards.
If approved, The Right to Reproductive Freedom with Protections for Health and Safety amendment would fall under Article I of the Ohio Constitution.
The proposed amendment would generally guarantee that patients could make their own reproductive decisions,

Fox News viewers scammed by gold coin scammers
Dedicated viewers of Fox News are likely familiar with Lear Capital, a Los Angeles company that sells gold and silver coins. In recent years, the company’s ads have been a constant presence on Fox airwaves, warning viewers to protect their retirement savings from a looming “pension crisis” and “dollar collapse.”
One such ad caught the attention of Terry White, a disabled retiree from New York. In 2018, White invested $174,000 in the coins, according to a lawsuit by the New York attorney general – only to later learn that Lear charged a 33 percent commission.
Over several transactions, White, 70, lost nearly $80,000, putting an “enormous strain” on his finances, said his wife, Jeanne, who blames Fox for their predicament: “They’re negligent,” she said. A regretful White said he thought Fox “wouldn’t take a commercial like that unless it was legitimate.”
