Posted By: ladydawgfan, 7/18/2024 6:07:35 PM
Bob Newhart, whose unique comedic persona of an observant, yet unflappable, human island of serenity around whom chaos swirled endeared him to multiple generations across several decades, passed away on July 18, 2024, after what his publicist described as a series of short illnesses. Newhart was 94. Newhart worked as an accountant until he was 30, when he started trying his hand at stand-up. Newhart first came to public attention in 1960 when his album “The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart” won Album of the Year at the 1960 Grammys. Newhart also won Best New Artist of 1960

The Republican National Convention just wrapped in Milwaukee on Thursday. It was a barnburner with fun and inspiring moments. Even CNN's Van Jones had to admit there was "something happening."
I don't think the Democratic convention is going to come anywhere near it for the unity and the spirit, especially given they don't even seem to know who their nominee is and are right now trying to shove aside the guy who had the primary votes. That tends not to lend to.

Savages Kamala Harris for Going After
JD Vance's Loyalty 1 reply
Earlier this week, Vice President Kamala Harris went after Donald Trump's running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), by claiming he "will be loyal only to Trump, not to our country." It was especially harsh, considering that Vance, unlike Harris, is a veteran. On Thursday, as Sam J. at our sister site of Twitchy pointed out, former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) who ran against Harris in the 2020 Democratic primary, and who is also a veteran, was among those who chimed in to go after the vice president.
Austin Private Wealth, LLC, a Texas-based financial planning company, is being scrutinized after a social media post went viral that claimed they had put options on as many as 12 million shares of DJT shares just one day before the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
The investment firm denied the allegations and has now blamed a filing error for this controversial action. (Snip) If Trump did die in the assassination attempt, his company would have become worthless. It’s stock would have become Zero in a day. The people who bought Put Options would have made billions in profits.
We’ve become all too familiar with leftists calling for violence against President Trump and his supporters over the last 8 years. However, after last weekend’s failed assassination attempt against Trump at his Pennsylvania rally, it’s time we take these illegal threats against the former president and his supporters more seriously.
Over the last week, a popular far-left live streamer named Destiny (a man with a female name) went on a vitriolic rampage against the murdered Trump supporter, Corey Comperatore, who was hit with a stray bullet fired at President Donald Trump.
It only took a matter of hours for blue-haired leftists like Destiny (pictured below)

It seems like only moments ago we reported that a source inside the Biden campaign, an unnamed "senior White House official," indicated President Joe Biden's defiance--that he intended to remain in the race, and that he was in it to win it.
Newsmax's Mark Halperin has the scoop; say hello to Captain Whiplash: [Tweet]
The post reads:
BREAKING NEWS: Multiples sources outline the apparent state of play on Biden at this time:
* plans to announce withdrawal from nomination as early as this weekend, with Sunday most likely
* Jon Meacham polishing up remarks

* Biden will NOT endorse Harris

After Joe Biden allegedly contracted COVID and left Las Vegas for his Delaware beach house on Wednesday, much speculation suggested he was preparing to leave the race. Even the betting markets shifted, showing the probability of Biden dropping out at an all-time high. (Snip) Now, Biden's handlers are getting even more vicious. A report from NBC News quotes a "source close to Biden" throwing Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi under the bus before backing up over them. They even go so far as to say the three named above were responsible for Donald Trump being elected in 2016 because they pushed Hillary Clinton to the forefront.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has provided some much-needed clarity on who can and can't register to vote in the upcoming 2024 elections, with the state of Arizona the focus of a new decision on Thursday afternoon. The suit was filed by the state Republican Party and the state Senate President Warren Petersen against a pro-illegals interest group, Mi Familia Vota, and Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (D).
The Republican caucus of the state Senate reacted on X, calling it a massive win for election integrity: [Tweet]
The post, signed by Petersen, reads:
Today, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of election integrity!

Former President Donald Trump survives an assassination attempt, and the next day, he’s on a plane heading to Milwaukee to address the nation. President Joe Biden gets COVID, despite being double vaxxed, and he is hiding away at his Deleware home.
This alone further exacerbates concerns that the 81-year-old president is not mentally or physically well enough to continue running in the 2024 race.
A bullet grazes Trump’s ear, missing his head by nearly seconds, and he’s golfing by 9 a.m. the next day. Biden experiences “mild symptoms” of what can basically be categorized as a cold, and he’s bedridden for the foreseeable future.
The woke indoctrination of your kids will never stop. Homeschooling is a great option.
FACT-O-RAMA! Your kids don't go to public school; they attend "government" schools.
A California judge decided that punishing a seven-year-old schoolgirl for being "racist" is A-OK.
What did the li'l bigot do? She drew a BLM picture including drawings of her diverse group of friends and added two "inclusionary" words, which this British news outlet found too vile to share on Twitter: [Tweet]
Those naughty words are "any life."
FACT-O-RAMA! If you wore a T-shirt 10 years ago that said "All Lives Matter," you would have been très woke. Today, those words make you a seething racist.
Not too long ago, the automobile industry was all-in for electric vehicles (EVs). Falling in line with the Biden administration’s massive push for EVs and away from gas-powered cars, the Big Three and other manufacturers doubled down on EV production.
Part of the calculus was that car buyers would opt for the tax breaks and incentives that the government offered EV customers. That siren song didn’t lure many customers in. Eventually, the EV fad died out noticeably, and auto manufacturers are beginning to adjust to the market.
Ford is the latest example of an automaker that is distancing itself from the EV push.
Will Biden Steal Donald Trump’s Big Moment?

It’s anyone’s guess whether Joe Biden will drop out of the presidential race or not. Personally, I dare not guess one way or the other. Some reports suggest that it could happen as early as this weekend, but others want Biden to go out with a bang and announce his intention to drop out of the race on Thursday night, before or in the middle of Trump’s big speech at the Republican National Convention, according to Newsweek.
"If democrats still have any fight left in them, they would announce Biden stepping down during the middle of Trumps speech," Meghan McCain, the daughter of the late Senator John McCain,

As President Joe Biden faces a growing drumbeat of pressure to drop his reelection bid, a majority of Democrats think his vice president would make a good president herself.
A new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about 6 in 10 Democrats believe Kamala Harris would do a good job in the top slot. About 2 in 10 Democrats don’t believe she would, and another 2 in 10 say they don’t know enough to say.
Since Biden’s debate debacle on June 27, many Democrats have privately and even openly looked to Harris to step in and succeed Biden as the party’s presidential nominee.

Donald Trump may well have sealed the outcome of the 2024 election with a performance on Thursday night in Milwaukee that has largely been unmatched in recent American political history.
The former president eschewed the polarization and division that has marked much of his rhetoric in the past. In his speech officially accepting the Republican Party's nomination there were only a couple of references to the 2020 election. Trump was able to hit on key messages when speaking about topics like inflation, and especially immigration, in ways that were compelling and arguably responsive to the fundamental concerns of Americans.
I say this not to engage in hyperbole,
President Joe Biden feels personally hurt and betrayed by the way so many Democrats, including some of the party’s top leaders, have left him hung out to dry as he faces the biggest crisis of his political career, according to two sources familiar with his thinking.
And privately, many of those leaders have expressed doubts about his path forward. Former President Barack Obama’s only public comment came the day after Biden’s disastrous debate last month, when he tweeted “Bad debate nights happen“ and talked about his former vice president’s virtues. Privately, however, Obama has concerns. Bill and Hillary Clinton have
For the first time, researchers have voted to eliminate scientific names of organisms because they are offensive. Botanists decided that more than 200 plants, fungi and algae species names should no longer contain a racial slur related to the word caffra, which is used against Black people and others mostly in southern Africa. The changes voted on today at the International Botanical Congress in Madrid mean that plants such as the coast coral tree will, from 2026, be formally called Erythrina affra, instead of Erythrina caffra. (snip) The measure passed in a tense secret ballot, with 351 votes in favour against 205 opposed.
Welcome to post-truth, post-fact, and post-reality America where the occurrence of an event you don’t like is immediately a conspiracy to be ridiculed, dismissed, and ‘just asking questions about it’ to death.
The attempted assassination of President Trump falls into that category. Since it’s politically inconvenient, 1 in 3 Dems have already adopted the position that it was staged.
The View's Joy Behar has been slammed for describing Donald Trump as 'very narcissistic' after he claimed he survived his assassination attempt because God was 'on his side' – with a growing mob now calling for her to be sacked.
The former president, 78, acknowledged his Christian faith as he addressed the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, earlier this week, marking his first speech since he was shot at by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks last Saturday.
Behar, 81, criticized Trump's lengthy statement during Friday's episode, branding his words 'very unchristian' and 'disturbing.'
Anthony Fauci dismissed the gunshot wound Donald Trump sustained during Saturday's assassination attempt, telling CNN viewers: 'he's in the clear.'
Fauci made the comments after the former president, 78, wore a large white bandage over the gunshot wound on his ear throughout the Republican National Convention this week.
'I don't think there is much more to it,' Fauci, 83, said of Trump's wounds while talking to CNN host Wolf Blitzer on Friday. 'It was a bullet shot that grazed his ear.'
Why does she always do this?
Kamala Harris was in North Carolina rallying a small crowd of supporters as Joe Biden stayed out of the public eye after he announced he has Covid.
Harris mustered a fake accent as she delivered a campaign speech to North Carolina rallygoers in a city near Fort Liberty (previously Fort Bragg).
“We too busy watchin’ what you doin’ to hear what you’re sayin,'” Harris said in her fake accent. (Video) Harris bragged about defying the Supreme Court in their taxpayer-funded student loan bailout.

And the hits keep coming. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) sent a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Friday demanding answers on the attempted assassination attack on President Trump at his rally in Pennsylvania last .Senator Hawley wrote that whistleblowers have notified him that a majority of the security officials working the rally last weekend were not even Secret Service personnel but were with the Homeland Security Investigations team!
U.S. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, a long-serving Democrat from Texas, has passed away at the age of 74.
Her family released the following statement:
Today, with incredible grief for our loss yet deep gratitude for the life she shared with us, we announce the passing of United States Representative Sheila Jackson Lee of the 18th Congressional District of Texas.
A fierce champion of the people, she was affectionately and simply known as “Congresswoman” by her constituents
US President Joe Biden doubled down on his insistence that he will stay in the White House race, despite a growing Democrat revolt that raised speculation he could bow out as soon as this weekend.
“The stakes are high, and the choice is clear. Together, we will win,” the 81-year-old said in a written statement from the Delaware beach home where he is recovering from Covid. Biden vowed to return to the campaign trail next week, and took aim at Donald Trump’s “dark” speech accepting his nomination at the Republican National Convention on Thursday.
But his defiance came as six more House Democrats and another senator joined those publicly
WASHINGTON — Members of President Joe Biden’s family have discussed what an exit from his campaign might look like, according to two people familiar with the discussions.
The overall tone of the conversations has been that any exit plan — should Biden decide to take that step, as some of his closest allies increasingly believe he will — should put the party in the best position to beat former President Donald Trump while also being worthy of the more than five decades he has served the country in elected office, these people said.
