SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT: 

ANOTHER GOOD SIGN – FROM BREITBART:   The Draft Kendall Qualls for Governor Committee has created a petition that seeks to encourage the leader of black conservative movement TakeCharge Minnesota to run for the Republican gubernatorial nomination.  The committee states on its website:  "As the Republican party searches for its gubernatorial candidate, Kendall Qualls is exactly the type of candidate we need – A different type of candidate who can inspire Minnesotans. Simply put, Kendall is uniquely positioned to be able to run and win. His background and exceptional skills would allow him to connect with voters across the state – From Warroad to Winona, across the Iron Range to our agricultural communities and even in the heart of the Twin Cities where he outperformed the rest of the Republican ticket in his run in 2020, Kendall would be an outstanding candidate we would be fortunate to have represent our party."  Qualls founded and leads an anti-woke black movement centered on faith, family, education, and the Constitution to counter the current culture of Critical Race Theory, Black Lives Matter, and fatherless black families.  The WOKE movement thought it had the field to itself.  Increasingly, we see resistance.  These are the real revolutionaries, not the party liners of woke-ism.  We'll cheer them on.

THIS JUST DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT – FROM THE HILL:   New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) has been holding private talks with advisers and supporters about the possibility of a gubernatorial run, CNBC reported.  James, who led the investigation into sexual harassment claims against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), has been looking into whether she would have the backing of previous donors and supporters if she were to enter the 2022 New York governor's race, according to CNBC.  Luis Miranda Jr., a political consultant and father of Lin Manuel-Miranda, has been one of the people working to gauge interest in a potential James run, CNBC reported. Miranda previously served as a lead consultant for James when she successfully ran for New York City public advocate.  The appearances are awful.  She led the probe into one governor, and, having brought him down, now may try to get his job.  Kathleen Hochul, who succeeded Andrew Cuomo, is a Democrat.  So is Letitia James, so James would have to primary an incumbent governor of her own party.  On what basis?  The whole thing is rotten?
