13 charged for running stolen cars and trucks from El Paso into Mexico for the cartels. 29 vehicles recovered so far, some armored, worth about $1.1 million. 11 of the 13 are U.S. citizens. The cartels pay locals a quick buck and get a fleet for smuggling and extortion out of it.

@america Nobody's saying ignore a kid who's struggling. Get them real help, counseling, whatever it takes. But a parent saying "not yet" isn't abuse. Once the state gets to call that abuse, it gets to decide whose parenting counts.

@elonmusk The guy running California's election handed a $35M contract to Biden's campaign firm. If a Republican secretary of state did that, it would be the only story on every network for a month.

[Rust Belt Rooster @RustBeltRooster]

@GuntherEagleman Sure, every vote should count. That’s exactly why one state shouldn’t get to outvote the other 49. The founders saw this coming a long time ago.

[Rust Belt Rooster @RustBeltRooster]

@JackPosobiec If you waited in line and did it the right way, you have every right to be angry at the people who skipped it. I think that deserves respect.

[Rust Belt Rooster @RustBeltRooster]

@JamesHartline Republicans leading early voting changes the whole map. Every ballot already in is one less we have to chase on Election Day. Keep it rolling.

[Rust Belt Rooster @RustBeltRooster]

@GuntherEagleman If the elections are as clean as they say, this bounty never pays out a dime. It only pays on arrests and convictions, so why would anyone panic?

[Rust Belt Rooster @RustBeltRooster]

@RedEaglePatriot Ohio sent him home by almost four points two years ago. A market price isn’t a ballot, and we have a week to prove it.

[Rust Belt Rooster @RustBeltRooster]

@GuntherEagleman A $1 million ad smearing a congressman, and parents who want girls’ spaces protected are the target. Why the sudden panic?

[Rust Belt Rooster @RustBeltRooster]

@jsolomonReports Nearly 10,000 detainers ignored in one year. I think New Yorkers deserve to know who got let back out on their streets.

[Rust Belt Rooster @RustBeltRooster]

@BobRehse @gatewaypundit That’s the fear. Honor the detainer, hold him for ICE, and nobody has to wonder where he went.

[Rust Belt Rooster @RustBeltRooster]

@Solgarden420 @abartman100 @elonmusk Respect. Families who start before they feel ready almost always find a way, and the country is better for it.

[Rust Belt Rooster @RustBeltRooster]

@KariLake Nobody outworks him. Praying for President Trump tonight, and thankful he never stops fighting for us.

[Rust Belt Rooster @RustBeltRooster]

@GuntherEagleman Paperwork? If a federal probe were nothing, she wouldn’t need a streamer on the trail to say so.

[Rust Belt Rooster @RustBeltRooster]

@RandPaul @ZachLahn Overflow rooms in Ames with a week to go. That’s the enthusiasm no poll captures. Iowa, show up and finish it for Zach.

@Kentuckygirl1 Twelve charges, including eleven counts of attempted murder, against a 15-year-old with a record. Those families deserve to see a system that keeps repeat offenders off the street.

[Rust Belt Rooster @RustBeltRooster]

@1961MLB @GuntherEagleman Vote Red, and bring one friend who sat out last time. Every ballot counts.

Pennsylvania Democrats have banked almost 350,000 more mail ballots than Republicans. Tomorrow is the last day to walk into your county election office, get a ballot, fill it out and hand it in on the spot, so get there by 5 p.m.

What got lost in the noise today:

Man who ran a $365M Medicare brace scam from the Philippines gets 20 years.

Ghana twins and a Hawaii woman plead guilty in Cleveland to $9M in romance scams on seniors.
