US women spark fury with Another listless
rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner

sing their anthem with arms wrapped around
each other

The US Women's soccer team gave another uninspiring performance of their national anthem before their World Cup game against Holland on Wednesday. Only six players held their hands to their chest when The Star-Spangled Banner was playing and not all of them were singing. Those who did - such as Alex Morgan, Julie Ertz and Lindsey Horan - appeared to mumble the words rather than sing loudly along.By comparison, the Dutch team sang proudly to their anthem, Wilhelmus, with the players wrapping their arms around each other before the game began in Wellington, New Zealand.

During an interview with The Weather Channel on Tuesday aired on Wednesday, President Joe Biden said that, “Practically speaking,” he’s “already” declared a national emergency on climate change. He stated that, as part of this practical emergency declaration on climate, “we’ve conserved more land,” “rejoined the Paris Climate Accord,” and “we’ve passed a 368 billion-dollar climate control [initiative].”
Weather Channel Meteorologist Stephanie Abrams asked, “Mr. President, you called climate change a code red for humanity. The World Health Organization said it would cause an additional quarter of a million deaths a year starting in 2030. Are you prepared to declare a national emergency
Mike Pence, 'Constitutional Hero'?

If you once served as Vice President of the United States, polling below 5% in your own party's presidential primary can trigger a stream of unbridled bitterness.
Case in point: Mike Pence, who, in a Real Clear Politics poll published through August 2, 2023, polled at 4.8 percent among Republican voters, trailing the previously-unknown Vivek Ramaswamy, who had 5.2 percent.
Like a freezing cold bucket of reality splashed onto Pence’s face, losing to a 37-year-old entrepreneur who, six months ago, nobody ever heard of, has apparently unleashed the floodgates of animosity harbored deep within. Embittered by his demise, Pence now fumes against President Trump,
The nation's capital is tracking toward its deadliest year in two decades with 16 shooting deaths in August alone - bringing back memories of the crack-fueled murder spree in the 1990s that earned the city the nickname 'Dodge City.'
The homicide rate in Washington, DC, has spiked to 16 already this month, as rising crime has agonized residents and city leaders with one council member calling for the National Guard to intervene.
The district has clocked 161 homicides to date, which is a 28 percent increase over the same period last year.
On Tuesday, The Gateway Pundit broke a Blockbuster Report on 2020 voter fraud in Michigan.
The investigation had been buried by politicians, government investigators and the press.
On October 8, 2020, only one month before the 2020 general election, Muskegon, MI City Clerk Ann Meisch noticed a black female, whose name was later redacted from the police report, dropping off between 8,000-10,000 completed voter registration applications at the city clerk’s office. Clerk Meisch immediately noticed that the stacks of registrations included the same handwriting, non-existent addresses, and incorrect phone numbers.
On August 2, two days before Barack Obama’s reported sixty-second birthday, the Jewish journal Tablet published an interview with Pulitzer Prize-winning civil rights historian David Garrow.
Asking the questions and providing extensive commentary of his own was the well-traveled journalist David Samuels. Although Garrow is a progressive and Samuels something of a centrist, their evaluation of Obama’s tenure in the White House borders on cruel.
The exchange between the two deserves to be read in full. Rather than summarize that exchange, I will focus on a few key truths, both those they nailed and those that squirmed away. Most intriguing in the latter category are the questions about Obama’s literary talents and
Police in Democrat-run Oakland, California, are urging residents to use airhorns as a way of sounding an alarm when criminals strike amid a surge in crime. Crime has risen to a point where police are not only advising the purchase of airhorns but also the placement of “security bars to…doors and windows,” CNN noted.
Burglaries in the city are up 41 percent “and robberies by more than 20 percent.” Oakland resident Toni Bird indicated that she followed the advice of police and now has three airhorns.
MSNBC contributor Jason Johnson said Tuesday on “Deadline” that the Republican Party was now a terrorist religious cult called “MAGA.”
Johnson said, “Whenever you have a state that’s like eking towards blueness or purple, you see a gerrymandered Republican legislature try to block people’s access to vote, change what the voting rules are, change the voting times. Sometimes it works, but occasionally if you get a universal issue like abortion, people get angry and then they’re going to turn out the vote. Republicans show again because they’re not a party, they are a dime store front for a terrorist organization at this point called MAGA, you basically see that the Republicans
The Biden administration announced Tuesday that it has designated nearly 1 million acres in Arizona outside the Grand Canyon as a monument, a move that could further America’s reliance on Russia for sourcing uranium, according to the White House.
The monument designation will permanently prohibit new mining claims in the covered 917,618 acres, parts of which are known for having rich deposits of uranium, an essential material for generating nuclear energy, according to E&E News. The Biden administration is justifying the designation by pointing to the land’s cultural significance to local Native American tribes in accordance with its wider push for “environmental justice,” according to the White House.
President Biden's latest gaffe came Tuesday as he inaccurately said the Grand Canyon is one of the "nine" wonders of the world.
He made the error during a speech at Red Butte Airfield in Arizona, just a few miles south of the Grand Canyon, in a speech focused on his administration's climate agenda and conservation efforts.
"Folks, it's not hyperbole to suggest that there is no national treasure — none that is grander than the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon — one of the Earth's nine wonders, wonders of the world, literally. Think of that. You know, it's amazing. An enduring symbol of America to the entire world," Biden said.
Top Republican lawmakers are slamming the Biden administration for failing to provide closure for the Gold Star family members of the U.S. troops killed during the botched Afghanistan withdrawal - who are still seeking accountability nearly two years later.
The families of the 13 U.S. service members killed in Kabul, Afghanistan, shared their heartbreaking stories during a public forum in Escondido, California, organized by Rep. Darrell Issa. They said they have been lied to by the Biden administration, which has not taken accountability for the deaths of their children.
'We can never get these men and women back, and that blood is on President Biden's hands,' Sen. Joni Ernst told DailyMail.com.
Hunter Biden and his business associates told Ukrainian energy firm Burisma to remove a picture of then-Vice President Joe Biden and Burisma board member Devon Archer from its website, emails from the Hunter Biden laptop archive show.
In May 2014, then-VP Biden’s counsel Demetra Lambros told Eric Schwerin, a business associate at Hunter Biden’s investment firm Rosemont Seneca Partners, to have Burisma remove an image of Joe Biden and Archer from its website, according to emails from Biden’s laptop archive.
Joe Biden is reportedly losing his footing with working class voters, as well as black and Latino voters.
Democrats and the media can’t be surprised about white working class voters. That ship sailed long ago. These voters know that the Democrat party does not care what happens to them. It’s why these voters became a core part of the Trump coalition.
Black and Latino voters turning away from Biden, on the other hand, has got to have alarm bells going off at the DNC.

During an interview with NBC News on Monday, 2024 Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis stated that the 2020 election was poorly run, but we had mass mail-in balloting because “Trump turned the government over to Fauci, they embraced lockdowns, they did the CARES Act, which funded mail-in ballots across the country. Donald Trump signed that bill that funded the mail ballots that all the Republicans have been so concerned about.” And that the censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story “was Donald Trump’s FBI that was working with that.”
Fox News Chief Political Analyst Brit Hume called former President Donald Trump a failed president on Monday.
Hume issued his condemnatory statement in response to a video from conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, who suggested that people oppose Trump due to his success as president. “If Trump was such a failed president, why are they doing everything they possibly can to prevent a second term of Trump?” said Kirk. “Oh, I don’t know. Maybe they don’t want a repeat of a failed presidency. Just guessing here,” responded Hume.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has urged House Republicans to avoid impeaching President Joe Biden.
Speaking to the New York Times in an interview published Tuesday, McConnell said that he does not want to continue the impeachment cycle that Democrats started two years ago when they impeached former President Trump on dubious charges.
“I said two years ago, when we had not one but two impeachments, that once we go down this path it incentivizes the other side to do the same thing,” McConnell said. “Impeachment ought to be rare,” he added. “This is not good for the country.”

Backlash continues to build against Harry’s Razors over the brand’s previous promotion of the transgender activist group the Trevor Project, a group that supports transgender treatments for minors.
Conservative commentators and other social media users called out the razor company after a video highlighted by social media account End Wokeness went viral showing a woman who identifies as a man shaving her face in an Instagram video sponsored by Harry’s Razors. The video is captioned “celebrating my first Pride with facial hair!”
The strike in Hollywood has been grinding on for several months now. And while it gets plenty of media coverage, we’re not hearing much about productive discussions or progress toward a resolution. I have a couple of friends who are guild members and they keep me updated on some of the talks, but nobody seems terribly hopeful, or at least not yet. But while I always feel sympathetic for the people out of work, a thought struck me this week when I was reading one of the latest updates from CNN. This has been going on for roughly 100 days now. Assuming that you’re not one of the striking members
In 2015, David Burge (Iowahawk) posted a now-famous tweet describing leftism: “1. Identify a respected institution. 2. Kill it. 3. Gut it. 4. Wear its carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect.” In that short tweet, he perfectly described what leftism has done to the Judeo-Christian religion. And that act of wearing a religion’s “carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect” is the best caption possible for a video in which a female Presbyterian minister, draped in a Planned Parenthood stole, celebrates her abortion and abortions generally.
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) was briefly hospitalized on Tuesday afternoon after a minor fall, her office confirmed in a statement to National Review.
“Senator Feinstein briefly went to the hospital yesterday afternoon as a precaution after a minor fall in her home,” a spokesperson said. “All of her scans were clear and she returned home.”
The fall comes after months of health struggles for the 90-year-old senator.
Feinstein was absent from the Senate for months this spring as she suffered from shingles, Ramsay Hunt syndrome and encephalitis.

President Joe Biden will soon ask Congress for a Ukraine aid package that could exceed $10 billion, a report released Tuesday found.
Punchbowl News reported the Ukraine aid battle will resume when Congress returns from recess. The incoming request, which could be “north of $10 billion,” follows as Ukraine continues its slow-moving counteroffensive against Russia, and America and other NATO countries have pledged support for Ukraine.
The Army’s acquisition chief told reporters on Monday that the Department of Defense was working on a funding package for lawmakers to consider. The package would be used to replenish American weapon stockpiles which have been depleted after providing munitions to Ukraine’s protracted conflict with Russia.
Ginormous toxic hammerhead worms - which can grow up to 15 inches - have invaded DC backyards as the slithering creatures shock residents and have scientists warning about getting too close.
Americans are being advised to avoid touching the foot-long flatworms, which feast on slugs, snails and earthworms by paralyzing them with the same potent neurotoxin found in deadly puffer fish.
Also known as spade-headed garden worms, the slippery specimens excrete a septic slime, which can be harmful to humans if ingested.
Former Vice President Mike Pence has attained the qualifications to attend the first primary debate for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.
Pence's team announced on Monday that his campaign had surpassed 40,000 individual donors, Politico reported. That number is one of the Republican National Committee's requirements to attend the debate on Aug 23 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The former vice president also reached the other needed qualifications, which include polling at least 1% nationally. He is the eighth candidate to qualify, and he's possibly the last.
