Born in France in 1989, he started his professional career in the country of his birth at Senart-Moissy. The midfielder went on to play for Paris Saint-Germain’s B side between 2007 and 2010. He then had spells at Spanish club Getafe before turning out for Al-Jazira, Al-Nasr, Antalyaspor, Al Shahania and Lusitanos Saint-Maur, where he hung up his boots three years ago.

A federal appeals court ruled on Friday against a Mississippi law that allows mail-in ballots to be counted if they are received up to five days after Election Day. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said it conflicts with federal law designating a “day for the election.” However, the three-judge panel declined to issue an injunction and sent the issue back to a lower court for further consideration.

The ruling could lead to a future challenge that makes it to the U.S. Supreme Court, which would have significant ramifications nationwide. “5th Circuit Court of Appeals delivers critical ruling that affects mail-in ballots. All ballots must now be received by Election Day in order to be counted. This U.S. court of appeals decision overrides state laws permitting post-Election Day ballot counting, affirming that federal law mandates the deadline,” Kyle Becker wrote. “The day for the election is when ballots must be both cast and received by state officials,” Judge Andrew S. Oldham stated, according to Becker. “The ruling directly impacts Mississippi’s previous policy, which allowed ballots to be counted for up to five days after Election Day. This sets a clear precedent for election integrity and increases pressure on states to adhere strictly to this standard as the 2024 election approaches,” Becker continued.

If that were true, Oldham suggested, then a state could allow voters to cast ballots by marking them and then putting them in a drawer or posting photos of them on social media. “The hypotheticals are obviously absurd,” Oldham, who was appointed to the court by former President Donald Trump, wrote. Many states as well as Washington, D.C. allow ballots to be counted that arrive after Election Day, including Nevada, a swing state that requires mailed ballots to be received within four days of the election. In July, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Republican National Committee and Nevada Republican Party to get Nevada’s four-day allowance struck down.

This overrules state laws that allowed some late-arriving ballots to be counted if they were mailed on time,” Mario Nawfal wrote. “Supporters, like the RNC, say this ensures clear results on Election Day. Opponents argue it could disenfranchise voters who rely on mail delays,” he added.

The appeals court ruling says that no such ballots should be counted. “Congress statutorily designated a singular ‘day for the election’ of members of Congress and the appointment of presidential electors,” the three-judge panel wrote in its opinion. “Text, precedent, and historical practice confirm this ‘day for the election’ is the day by which ballots must be both cast by voters and received by state officials.” The decision by Judges James Ho, Kyle Duncan and Andrew Oldham notes that as of November 2022, 18 states and the District of Columbia allow post-election receipt of ballots — and suggests they should not be allowed to do so. “Federal law requires voters to take timely steps to vote by Election Day. And federal law does not permit the State of Mississippi to extend the period for voting by one day, five days, or 100 days,” the ruling said.

Holocaust survivor Jerry Wartski was recently featured in a Trump campaign video, where he slammed Vice President Kamala Harris for unapologetically characterizing Trump as a “fascist,” and even comparing him to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

You have to hear this. Tucker began by talking about the wonderful exchange of Bobby Kennedy for Dick Cheney and his creepy daughter. Republicans have Bobby and Demcorats get the Cheneys! He said he has never seen anyone attacked like Donald Trump has been and he’s going to win anyway!

Well, America — or whoever the hell I’m talking to — the day of decision is rapidly drawing near, so it’s time we set partisanship aside and took a clear-eyed, objective look at our choices. Are we going to give our vote to an orange-colored demagogue whose reckless rhetoric reveals a tyrannical disregard for American freedoms? Or will we go with Donald Trump? (And okay, that question might have confused you because of the reference to being orange. But — I mean, look at her!) The important thing is: as the purely surly hurly-burly whirly-swirly of election day draws near, it’s much too easy to sink into closed-minded bias like an explorer sinking into quicksand until there’s nothing left on the surface but a pith helmet and a half-finished hand-drawn map of some obscure Nile tributary rumored to have its source in a fountain of eternal youth where shapely native girls lie naked on the shore just waiting for a virile white man they would gladly service with their ancient arts of pleasure if those pale-faced morons didn’t keep drowning in quicksand as if it were the closed-minded bias that it’s much too easy to sink into as the purely surly hurly-burly of election day draws near. But we mustn’t get carried away by our emotions or our endlessly elaborate and essentially meaningless quicksand metaphors, and should instead try to ensure that our final decision results from making a careful examination of policies and character until we develop a wholly dispassionate and unprejudiced overview of just how badly Kamala Harris sucks. So we should be open to searching out some of the positive things about Kamala. Like… we’re not married to her. We don’t have to listen to that laugh day after day until we start having dreams that we’re locked in a closet with the Joker from the Saturday morning Batman cartoons and then wake up with our hands around her throat for the third time that week and begin to understand that our subconscious is trying to tell us something. WATCH: The Andrew Klavan Show Also, in a Kamala Harris administration, America could return to the days when a man who was willing to work hard could finally make enough money to pay off the college debts of some harridan who majored in feminist rage and now spends her time making TikTok videos denouncing the patriarchy from the front seat of the car she bought with the money from the man who was willing to work hard like a schmuck. And as for Donald Trump, yes, he’d probably bring down prices and avoid World War III, but think of all the terrible things he’s said in all those news media reports of terrible things he never said. Do you want to spend four more years raging at things the news media says he said that he never said when you could be kicking back without a care in the world enjoying all the benefits of inflation and World War III? Then there’s the fact that Kamala Harris is going to make sure that billionaires pay their fair share of the money she’s going to give you for voting for her. Donald Trump, meanwhile, plans to dynamite the deep state until all that’s left is flaming rubble and a collection of screaming bureaucrats scattering in every direction like panicked ants trying to escape a spray can of Raid. Sure, that would be hilarious, but without bureaucrats, where could we turn when we wanted to be bullied by idiots? And now the news media has shocked us all by comparing Donald Trump to Hitler like they always do. And yes, they’re lying, but that’s no reason not to believe them. If you’re going to stop believing the news media just because they lie, you’d have to walk around not believing them all the time, and it would be as if David Muir was just sitting there with his mouth moving and no sound coming out. And okay, that would be great. But that’s no reason to vote for Trump. Or at least it’s only one reason. So America, put your prejudices aside and choose wisely. Because while these are two candidates who are both orange in their own way, only one of them has worked for McDonald’s while Kamala Harris sucks. * * * This excerpt is taken from the opening satirical monologue of “The Andrew Klavan Show.” Andrew Klavan is the host of “The Andrew Klavan Show” at The Daily Wire.
