In other big 6/5 election news - Orly Taintz is running for US Senate



And clearly she is just messed up running for US Senate as she is trying to get people to actually believe Obama is from Kenya.

Orly Taitz, Birther Queen, Blows Through Disclosure Deadline For Senate Bid


Orly Taitz, who famously demanded that President Barack Obama provide documentation of his United States citizenship, has blown past disclosure requirements for her political campaign.

The so-called birther queen is running a quixotic campaign for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate in California. On May 24, she was supposed to submit a 12-day pre-primary report that would document the donations she has received, the expenditures she made and the debt she's incurred. She missed that deadline.

The Federal Election Commission responded by sending out a note about her lack of compliance a day later.

"The failure to timely file this report may result in civil money penalties, an audit or other legal enforcement action," the letter stated. "The civil money penalty calculation for late reports does not include a grace period and begins on the day following the due date for the report."

This is a Louisiana-style open primary (don't ask). There are 24 candidates in all, so the ABD (Anyone But Dianne the DINO) vote could be split 22 ways -- leaving Oily Taint in second place on the strength of the birfer vote.

The coveted KamaAina Nupepa endorsement goes to David Levitt:

"Let's end Afghanistan, end prohibition, provide Medicare for All and rebuild the American dream," says US Senate candidate Levitt. "Instead of putting trillions into wars and big banks, we can invest in education, infrastructure, and 21st century energy jobs."
