A virus is spreading throughout the world. It affects the comprehension and common sense portion of the brain and leaves its victims dumbed-down and easily herded by the propaganda masters and their political cult. Carrie’s Take strives to provide an antidote to the mind-control and hopefully will stir up memories of long ago when our society demanded truth & honesty in journalism and expected it to be the guardian of facts, rather than PR mouth pieces for self-serving politicians and their personal agendas. ~Carrie K.

Billionaire Twitter CEO Elon Musk endorsed Republicans for the midterm election cycle on Monday, telling voters to cast ballots for a Republican Congress.
Musk’s announcement comes months after he first announced plans to vote Republican earlier this year. He argued Monday that having a government split between two parties is ideal, and noted President Biden’s possession of the White House for Democrats before saying Congress should go to Repubilicans.
“To independent-minded voters: Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic,” Musk wrote.
Musk’s endorsement follows through on his vow to vote Republican in May.
To independent-minded voters:

Fox News Digital spoke with Crist following his heated debate with DeSantis

Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist on Tuesday described himself as “a trustworthy person” despite a number of his former staffers and colleagues announcing they would be supporting his opponent, incumbentRepublican Gov. Ron DeSantis, for re-election.
In an interview with Fox News Digital just one day following his fiery debate with DeSantis, the former Republican governor pushed back on the notion that he was untrustworthy for changing his political party affiliation multiple times, arguing that the GOP had left him rather than the other way around.
Crist was a Republican until 2010 before unsuccessfully running for Senate that year as an independent, and then ultimately winning election to Congress in 2016 as a Democrat. He resigned his congressional seat in August after winning the Democratic gubernatorial primary.
“I am a trustworthy person. I follow my heart,” Crist told Fox when asked if his shifting alliances were evidence of political opportunism.

“I did change political parties, because my party left me. I didn’t leave it. It started with the rise of the Tea Party, and then it metastasized under Trump, and here’s where we are today, where you got people who are denying elections getting nominated by the Republican Party for offices all over America. It’s a mess,” he added.
In a letter released Tuesday, a number of Crist’s former staffers and colleagues, including his ex-chief of staff George LeMieux and his former lieutenant governor, Jeff Kottkamp, wrote that DeSantis was the “clear” choice for governor.
“The undersigned represent former colleagues and staff of Charlie Crist. Together, we have known Charlie in virtually all phases of his career and public life,” the letter read.
“The choice this November could not be more clear: we unanimously endorse Governor Ron DeSantis for re-election,” it read.
“Governor DeSantis has delivered for Florida. He has led our state with courage and conviction. He has demonstrated his ability to lead us through difficult times. We stand with Governor DeSantis because the stakes are too high,” it added.
I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are… pic.twitter.com/oAuTnxZldf
FIRST ON FOX: Gov. Kristi Noem, R-S.D., who is seeking re-election inthe midtermsthis November, announced that she will eliminate the sales tax on all grocery purchases in South Dakota, the governor’s office told Fox News Digital.

His failed liberal agenda has caused the cost of food to skyrocket, and family budgets are being stretched thin,” said Noem while announcing the new tax cut in Rapid City,South Dakota, on Wednesday.
“This permanent tax cut will put hundreds of dollars in the pockets of the average South Dakota family,” Noem said. (Click to Continue Reading)
The Washington Posthanded down four “Pinocchios” to Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., for her claim warning of the “end” Social Security and Medicare if Republicans take control of Congress.
Murray, who is fighting in a tightening reelection battle against GOP challenger Tiffany Smiley, tweeted on Sunday, “Republicans plan to end Social Security and Medicare if they take back the Senate.”
Glenn Kessler, the Post’s fact-checker, characterized Murray’s tweet as a “‘Medicare’ attack” to win over senior voters.
“Don’t worry, seniors: There is no such plan,” Kessler assured elderly readers. (Click to continue reading)
