Washington - Debra Messing was fed up. The former "Will & Grace" star was among dozens of celebrity Democratic supporters and activists who joined a call with White House aides last Monday to discuss the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
The mood was fatalistic, according to three people on the call, which was also co-organized by the advocacy group Build Back Better Together.
Messing said she'd gotten Joe Biden elected and wanted to know why she was being asked to do anything at all, yelling that there didn't even seem a point to voting. Others wondered why the call was happening.

NBC News senior reporter Ben Collins said on the “Morning Joe” panel Tuesday that the Fourth of July parade shooting is “not tied” to former President Donald Trump.
Police detained suspected shooter Robert E. Crimo, 22, after the attack that killed at least six people and injured over 20 others. Collins said the former president is not to blame for the shootings after reports circulated that the suspected shooter attended a Trump rally dressed as the character from the “Where’s Waldo” children’s books.
“The one thing that combines all these things is ready access to weapons,” he said.

If you were to ask critics and leftist rags, you’d think Amazon’s “The Terminal List” starring Chris Pratt is an atrocity to television. If you were to ask everyone else, it’s a romping good time and possibly one of Pratt’s best outings on screen. The movie is based on a Jack Carr novel that bears the same name. Pratt plays Navy Seal veteran James Reece, the sole survivor of a brutal ambush during a high-stakes mission. Reece senses there’s more to his ambush and finds himself in the middle of a deep conspiracy that sends him on a revenge mission.
It’s a high-octane show filled with intrigue and bare-bones
A violent mob can be seen on video attacking an Illinois state trooper in Chicago—pelting his squad car with firecrackers and smashing the windshield. The group was engaging in “reckless driving stunts” off Interstate 90 on Sunday afternoon when the trooper drove through the intersection and was attacked, according to a police spokesman. Nearly 100 people descended on the vehicle, throwing rocks and bricks and jumping on the hood. The first attacker, wearing a tank top, jumps on the hood and appears to go onto the roof. “Chicago, we got a mob–he just jumped on my car,” the exasperated trooper is heard saying over the police radio.
Highland Park shooter Bobby Crimo was about to be thrown out of the apartment where he lived behind his father's home, DailyMail.com can reveal exclusively.
And the man who caused terror at a July 4 parade was spurned by a neighbor who he desperately wanted to date.
The 21-year-old woman, who asked not to be identified, is now blaming herself for possibly being the spark that ignited Crimo's murderous rampage.
'I'm blaming myself,' she told DailyMail.com.
'We didn’t date, but he did like me, he did have interest in me,’ she added.
Former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) was a “fascist.”
According to Dean, that made him “much scarier” than former President Donald Trump as a potential 2024 Republican presidential nominee. Guest host Jason Johnson, “You now have some Republicans who are saying, hey, look. Maybe Donald Trump shouldn’t run again. Maybe it will be a problem. Maybe, you know, him running with all these allegations and all this violence associated with him, maybe it ends up being damaging with the party.” He asked, “Do you think any of these potential allegations could influence when he will make an announcement?

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney (D) reacted to gun violence in his city by suggesting Tuesday morning that only the police should have guns.
FOX News reports that Kenney spoke to reporters after two Philadelphia police officers were wounded by gunshots on July 4.
McKinney reflected on July 4, saying, “It was a chilled back day, beautiful weather. But we live in America where we have the Second Amendment and we have the Supreme Court of the United States telling everybody they can carry a gun wherever they want.”

Seventy-one people were shot, eight of them fatally, during the July 4th weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.
Breitbart News noted at least 54 people were shot Friday into Monday morning alone, as the holiday weekend progressed. Seven of those 54 shooting victims succumbed to their wounds.
When the July 4th holiday weekend was complete ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times reported the total number of shooting victims had risen to 71, with one additional fatal shooting, bringing the total number of shooting fatalities to eight.
The Chicago gun crime was slightly lower than what was witnessed over July 4th during 2021, when over 100 people were shot, 19 of them fatally.
Firebrand Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert blasted Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell on Twitter Tuesday after he seemed to blame her and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for the Independence Day mass shooting in Illinois.
A 22-year-old gunman opened fire at a 4th of July parade in Highland Park on Monday, a wealthy suburb of Chicago, killing six people and injuring dozens.
Just a day later, Swalwell took to social media with side-by-side photos of Boebert holding an assault rifle and an image of the shooter.

An unnamed Democrat lawmaker criticized the Biden administration as 'rudderless, aimless and hopeless' in yet another damning report of turmoil between the US President and his party on Tuesday.
More than 20 Democrats working across Congress and the White House shared private concerns with CNN regarding President Joe Biden's ability to respond to back-to-back crises that have plagued the country for much of his term - and whether he's an effective leader of those behind him working to fix it.
The White House said that Joe Biden stands by his comments that he never spoke with his son Hunter about his business dealings despite DailyMail.com revealing a voicemail where he did just that.
White House Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday that she would not comment on anything regarding Hunter Biden's damning laptop when asked about the 2018 recording of the president discussing his son's deal with Chinese oil giants CEFC.

Former President Donald Trump was cleared of contempt charges after failing to turn over documents demanded in a subpoena by the state’s attorney general, a New York judge has ruled.
Trump’s April 25 contempt finding came after he contested a December subpoena seeking records related to his personal finances and the financing of several properties. He had no material that was responsive to the subpoena, as he claims, leading to demands by the judge and the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James that his attorneys provide detailed explanations of how they conducted their search.
To hear Andrew McCarthy tell it, Donald Trump’s racuous speech at the Ellipse on January 6 ended with a “Braveheart” moment when the president beseeched his throng of weapon-wielding supporters to attack government leaders at the U.S. Capitol that afternoon.
Last week’s testimony by Cassidy Hutchinson, the junior White House aide who made a number of dubious claims under oath, has been accepted as fact by most of the corporate news media and NeverTrump pundits including McCarthy, as I explained here. In response to leading questions by Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), Hutchinson claimed

It’s not often reporters in the mainstream media will come to the defense of Ron DeSantis, but it actually happened on Tuesday after a couple of tweets about the Florida governor posted by accounts notorious for posting fake news went viral.
It all started after Democrat Jon Cooper, who has over a million followers and whose Twitter profile reads “Former National Finance Chair of Draft Biden 2016, Long Island Campaign Chair for @BarackObama & Majority Leader of Suffolk County Legislature, NY” wrote the below message falsely claiming that “DeSantis signs bill requiring Florida students and professors to register their political views with the state”:
One person was killed and at least 12 others were injured in a spate of shootings across New York City during a bloody nine-hour period on Independence Day, police said.
Only the borough of Staten Island was spared from the stretch of violence that began at around 3:10 p.m. in Queens, when a gunman opened fire at a man in his 30s.
The victim was found in the middle of the street in Cambria Heights with a gunshot wound to his hip. He was rushed to Long Island Jewish Hospital in critical but stable condition, the NYPD said.
The White House is sending out pre-edited videos of President Joe Biden to supporters so they can put them on TikTok and other social media accounts, according to a new report.
CNN’s Edward-Isaac Dovere reported the details of a White House call with abortion supporters in reaction to the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade in June.
After the call, the White House sent them a list of talking points and “suggestions of Biden speech clips to share on TikTok” according to the report.
The behind-the-scenes details of the clumsy communications efforts by the White House illustrate a growing sense of anger and frustration
Bracketteville, Texas — Kinney County, Texas, declared the “existence of an ‘invasion'” along the Texas border with Mexico. The declaration calls on Texas Governor Greg Abbott to also “acknowledge the existence of an invasion on our border with Mexico.” Five other counties spoke in support of Kinney County’s declaration.
County Officials from Uvalde, Kinney, Terrell, Medina, Burnet, and Goliad Counties met in Bracketteville on Tuesday afternoon to express concerns over the rapidly rising numbers of migrants illegally crossing the border from Mexico into Texas.
The father of Robert “Bobby” Crimo III — the person of interest arrested in connection with Monday’s mass shooting in suburban Chicago — liked a tweet supporting the Second Amendment just days after the Uvalde school massacre.
The 21-year-old Crimo, an amateur rapper performing under the stage name “Awake the Rapper,” was taken into custody by the police hours after six people were shot dead and at least 30 others — including several children — were wounded while attending a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park.
The mayor of Highland Park, IL, where the horrific mass shooting at a 4th of July parade took place leaving six dead and over 30 wounded, wasted no time in calling for a ban on guns while ignoring the alleged shooter’s creepy social media posts.
Robert “Bobby” Crimo III is a “person of interest” in the slaughter and was known to Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering on a personal basis. She notably did not address the long trail of tributes to mass shootings and public killings he reportedly left on social media.
Six of the seven people killed in the Highland Park Fourth of July massacre were identified by authorities on Tuesday.
The victims include Steve Straus, 88; Katherine Baldstein, 64; Jacki Sondheim, 63; Nicholas Toledo Zaragoza, 78; and husband and wife Irina and Kevin McCarthy, 35 and 37.
The McCarthys leave behind a two-year-old son, Aiden, who was found wandering alone in the aftermath of the shooting.
The death toll rose to seven after one of the 47 injured died in hospital on Tuesday afternoon, a day after 22-year-old Robert Crimo opened fire on the parade in Highland Park,

proof of ctizienship to vote in presidential elections replies
The Justice Department has filed suit against Arizona challenging its recently enacted voting law that requires proof of citizenship in order to vote in presidential elections.
The lawsuit contends that certain restrictions in Arizona's House Bill 2492 directly violate Section 6 of the National Voter Registration Act and Section 101 of the Civil Rights Act.
The Supreme Court previously rejected an effort by Arizona in 2013 to require its residents to provide proof of citizenship in order to participate in federal elections, though after President Joe Biden's victory against Donald Trump in 2020 the state quickly sought to implement a similar mandate in passing House Bill 2492.

Amid the nationwide crime crisis that has arisen out of woke Democrat policies and the so-called "progressive prosecutor" movement, Philadelphia has been especially hard-hit — and its mayor is apparently tired of leading and looking forward to being out of office after overseeing the city's record-setting crime spike.
On Independence Day, two law enforcement officers were hit with gunfire at Philly's July Fourth festivities from an unknown suspect or suspects — authorities are still trying to identify those responsible and determine their motive. Thankfully, both officers were discharged after being treated for their wounds.

The first was in April 2019 a week after he threatened to kill himself. The second was in September 2019, after he threatened to 'kill everyone' in his family.

Most of us would agree with many of the aspects of Western leftists’ utopian objectives: A world at peace, disease, and starvation eradicated, and humanity living in harmony with Mother Nature. It all sounds wonderful, no doubt.

But regarding the patronizing of one of their key revenue streams, Disney World, there’s another reason we can add to the growing list motivating us to stay away.
That reason comes not from anyone at Disney itself, but rather from the government running the show in the city which Disney World calls home: Orlando, Florida.

Robert Crimo was described as a recluse by his uncle and others who knew him, including neighbors and former classmates.
Police said at a press conference announcing the arrest it is believed Robert Crimo was responsible for the hail of bullets
The man suspected of killing six people and wounding more than a dozen others during a July 4th parade in Highland Park is a Donald Trump-supporting rapper with a seemingly-successful music career.
Robert 'Bobby' Crimo III, 22, goes by the moniker, Awake the Rapper, in his music career. According to his Spotify page, he boasts more than 16,000 listeners per month and has a net worth of $100,000.
The rap career has taken on a chilling relevance in the wake of the shooting.
Music videos posted by Crimo online last fall include a drawing of himself shooting people online, and a disturbing clip of himself throwing bullets
