Audio from the Las Vegas Metro Police Department's protective detail for President Joe Biden on July 17 was released Friday afternoon by Oversight Project, which obtained the recordings through a Freedom of Information Act request. Those recordings confirm RedState's reporting that Biden was first headed to University Medical Center, a trauma center, after he suddenly canceled a speaking engagement due to illness, then suddenly diverted directly to Harry Reid International Airport. The three recordings span a time frame of a few hours and are not timestamped, so it's difficult to get exact time frames from them

Former President Trump’s plane was diverted to Billings, Montana, on Friday due to a mechanical issue, a Billings airport official said.
The Republican presidential nominee is scheduled to hold a rally in nearby Bozeman, Montana, Friday evening, and is still expected to make it.
"I just landed in a really beautiful place: Montana. So beautiful, flying over and you just look down and that's the way it's supposed to be," Trump said in a video from his plane posted to social media, making no mention of any plane issues or of the diversion. "I'm here to do some fundraisers and most important

Now this is how you play three-dimensional chess. After the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Iran threatened massive retaliation ... but hesitated. Hezbollah also threatened to attack on an unprecedented scale ... but has yet to do so. Intel out of the region suggested earlier this week that Iran might wait until the Israeli holiday of mourning on Tisha B'av, if indeed they decide to attack at all, which suddenly sounded less firm later this week after Israel threatened to retaliate against all of their enemies as disproportionately as they could.
Tisha B'av starts on Monday. Today, Benjamin Netanyahu agreed

A passenger plane carrying 62 people crashed on the outskirts of São Paulo on Friday afternoon, killing everyone on board, according to Brazilian officials. Dramatic footage from the scene showed the Voepass Linhas Aéreas plane’s fall and its destroyed fuselage in flames on the ground.
“There are no survivors,” Ana Cândida Briski, communications director of the nearby city of Valinhos, told CNN, adding that there were no ground victims.
Flight tracking data shows that the the ATR 72-500, a twin-engine turboprop plane, dropped 17,000 feet in just one minute, but it is not yet clear why. “There is still no confirmation

The president of the Olympics’s governing body no longer believes in basic human biology when it comes to determining a person’s biological sex, a testament to the influence of progressive gender ideology across many major institutions.
International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach suggested during a press conference Friday that identifying people’s biological sex based on their chromosomes is outdated. His comments came in response to a question about the recent controversy over two boxers competing in the women’s division after failing sex-identification tests administered by an outside sports body last year.

The Ukrainian Army launched an attack into Russia's Kursk Oblast during the early hours of Tuesday. The attacking force seems to consist of about two brigades of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, totaling about 1500 to 2000 troops. The attack swiftly overran Russian positions, seized over 200 square miles of Russian territory, seized the gas pumping station that controls all Russian gas flows to Europe, and appears to have controlled the main Russian railway supply route for Russian forces in Ukraine.
U.S., Ukrainian and Russian officials all acknowledged the ongoing attack, which stunned Moscow and appeared to involve the use of armored fighting vehicles donated to Kyiv

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin is ordering all votes for the 2024 presidential election to be cast by paper ballot.
Youngkin issued Executive Order 35 on Wednesday, which codifies election security protocols established under his governance for all future elections.
"The Virginia model for Election Security works. This isn't a Democrat or Republican issue, it's an American and Virginian issue," Youngkin said in an announcement. "Every legal vote deserves to be counted without being watered down by illegal votes or inaccurate machines. In Virginia, we don’t play games and our model for election security is working."

Kamala Harris held a rally in Detroit Wednesday in which she once again trotted out some kind of weird accent that she somehow thinks honors the locale (but which is actually insulting), and she once again had to provide a free concert to get folks to show up. But there was something different about this rally - that's the completely FUBAR'd logistical situation as the rally-goers tried to get back home. The chaotic scene perfectly encapsulates what America would be like under a Harris presidency: a complete lack of organization/accountability/sense in government, resulting in tired, hungry, and angry masses of people simply trying to escape.

How long has it been since the coup on Biden that took the Democratic nomination from Joe and handed it to Kamala Harris? Eighteen days?
Former President Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance have been excoriating her over her failure to respond to questions, do an interview, or even enunciate her positions on issues. But she's gone to ground, embracing the Joe Biden "basement strategy." But on Thursday, reporters were finally able to corner Kamala for a few questions. She responded to a couple, but not surprisingly, she gave non-answer answers.
She was asked about the stolen valor scandal imploding around her VP choice Tim Walz regarding his comments

I've said it out loud. I'm sure you've said it out loud. But it's one thing for a private citizen like you or me to say it — and it's quite another for a former and probably future president of the United States to say it out loud.
In public. On camera. For the whole world to hear and see.
It was a glorious thing to say, too — and for more than just the obvious reason that it happens to be true. But I'll get to that in a moment.
"The presidency was taken away from Joe Biden," former President Donald Trump told reporters during a sometimes testy press conference

Britain is no longer falling.
It has fallen, and it may never get back up.
Hate speech laws have been plaguing Britain for years, and people have sporadically gotten arrested for offending the wrong person--usually somebody in the alphabet community, who are the most "protected" people in the Western world right now. Close behind are Muslims, who can rampage across Great Britain shouting about killing all Jews, replacing English law with Sharia, and run a parallel police system to enforce Sharia among Muslims. The warnings went out a few days ago, telling people not to be mean online.

Possibly very true. Also possibly very true: The US might need to strike actual gold to afford it.
Nevertheless, Donald Trump has emphasized his desire to find new places to cut taxes in order to generate real economic growth. Those ideas are also clearly aimed at finding inroads into traditional Democrat constituencies. A proposal to end taxes on tips has a lot of appeal for low-income servers, who are likely younger voters, and both are key demos for Kamala Harris and other Democrats. It didn't woo the culinary union leaders, but it might appeal to their members.
His latest proposal clearly has the New York Times worried
