Disgruntled Trump White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham launched a nasty attack against President Trump in a DNC speech Tuesday night.
Recall that Stephanie Grisham has been attacking the Trump family with lies for years.
Stephanie Grisham sashayed onto the stage Tuesday night and launched into an anti-Trump tirade.
The serial liar claimed Trump calls his supporters “basement dwellers.” “I saw him when the cameras were off,” Grisham about Trump.
Joe Biden was up to his old tricks last night when talking about billionaires and what they pay in taxes. He has been lying about this for years so why stop now. CNN fact-checked him this morning:
During his speech, Biden asked the audience if they knew what the average billionaire in the United States pays in taxes.
“We have a thousand billionaires in America. You know what the average tax rate they pay? 8.2%,” Biden said.
Facts First: Biden used this figure in a way that was misleading. As in previous remarks, including his State of the Union address in March, Biden didn’t explain that the figure is the product
The Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, offered a "gender-neutral prayer room" with Islamic prayer mats and also appears to have repurposed several women's rooms at the venue as "all-gender."
According to a DNC map of the convention at Chicago's United Center, one "all-gender restroom" is on each of the four levels of the arena that serves as home to the Chicago Bulls. However, a different map of the venue suggests they are typically women's restrooms.
Other bathroom facilities that circle the arena are grouped in the typical fashion of men's and women's restrooms.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were cooking the books the whole time and lying to the American people.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics will downward revise jobs AGAIN on Wednesday by up to 1 MILLION! (X) According to Bloomberg, payrolls growth between April 2023 to March 2024 was up to 1 million weaker than previously reported. Bloomberg reported:
US job growth in the year through March was likely far less robust than initially estimated, which risks fueling concerns that the Federal Reserve is falling further behind the curve to lower interest rates.
A federal judge in Texas on Tuesday barred a Federal Trade Commission rule from taking effect that would ban agreements commonly signed by workers not to join their employers’ rivals or launch competing businesses.
US District Judge Ada Brown in Dallas said the FTC, which enforces federal antitrust laws, does not have the authority to ban practices it deems unfair methods of competition by adopting broad rules.
Brown had temporarily blocked the rule in July while she considered a bid by the US Chamber of Commerce, the country’s largest business lobby, and tax service firm Ryan to strike it down entirely. The rule was set to take effect Sept. 4.
Kamala Harris' stepdaughter Ella Emhoff has been brutally roasted for the outfit she wore to the first night of the Democratic National Convention - while other critics have called her dad 'weird' and 'creepy' for the way he showed affection.
The budding model, 25, who has been making waves in the fashion world recently, was spotted supporting her stepmom at the event on Monday evening alongside 'first gentleman' dad Doug Emhoff, 59.
But some were quick to criticize the simple white ensemble Ella had chosen to wear to cheer on Kamala, 59, in Chicago's United Center.
Night one of the Democratic National Convention is over, and it was a mess. The program went over by almost an hour due to a jam-packed speaking schedule of primarily losers. Just watch Kathy Hochul’s speech; you know what I mean. These slots caused Joe Biden’s farewell speech to be pushed out of primetime. The night was riddled with lies, and I’m sure tonight won’t be much better. Biden repeated the ‘very fine people’ lie from Charlottesville, the ‘bloodbath’ lie, and the ‘loser and suckers’ hoax.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s agencies have released hundreds of thousands of migrant children from the southern border into the United States. A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General (IG) report reveals many are “at risk for trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor.”
The DHS IG report looked into the massive pipeline under Biden and Harris where Unaccompanied Migrant Children (UCs) arrive at the border, are taken into DHS custody before being transferred to Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) custody, and more likely than not resettled with adult sponsors in American communities — the majority of whom are not the UC’s biological parents.
Journalists will never learn that trying to outwit President Trump with loaded questions only blows up in their faces. One female journalist received a painful reminder of this fact after trying to carry water for Kamala Harris by spreading her race-baiting garbage.
Trump visited Howell, Michigan, on Tuesday to give a press conference at the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office, which focused on crime and safety. Michigan, of course, is one of the most critical states in the 2020 election and polls show it is unsurprisingly quite competitive.
The Harris campaign slammed Trump for wanting to take America back to the days of white supremacy and called Howell “the KKK capital of Michigan.”

University of California President Michael V. Drake directed chancellors of all 10 campuses to strictly enforce rules prohibiting encampments, unauthorized structures, restrictions on free movement and masking to conceal identity in a letter on Monday following controversy over the handling of demonstrations last spring regarding the Israel-Hamas war. In the letter, Drake reaffirmed to the UC community that the right to protest, exercise free speech, and express diverse viewpoints are fundamental to the mission of the university—the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement, he noted.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Sunday people are “reading too much” into the specifics of the price-gouging plan from the Harris-Walz campaign amid backlash from pundits and Vice President Harris’s political opponents. “Well, I think people are reading too much into what has been put out there. We know that Kamala Harris is going to be focused on building up more affordable housing. We know that Kamala Harris has already delivered on making sure that health care is more accessible and affordable for Americans and will protect ObamaCare,” Whitmer, a co-chair of the Democrats’ campaign, said about criticism of the
CHICAGO - U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' election effort has raised around $500 million since she became the Democratic presidential candidate, sources told Reuters, an unprecedented money haul that reflects donor enthusiasm going into the Nov. 5 election.
Four sources familiar with the fundraising effort told Reuters that figure had been banked for Harris in the four weeks since she jumped into the race on July 21.
Campaign cash is critical for advertising and get-out-the-vote efforts that help bring people to the polls and persuade undecided voters to swing a candidate's way.
Harris entered the fray after President Joe Biden stepped aside from the top of the Democratic ticket, unleashing floods
Eighty years ago, the U.S. government launched a war bond campaign featuring a painting by artist Norman Rockwell in the struggle against the authoritarian threat from Europe. The picture they chose was Rockwell’s Freedom of Speech depicting a man rising to speak his mind at a local council meeting in Vermont. The image rallied the nation around what Louis Brandeis called our “indispensable right.”
The Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday requested the U.S. Supreme Court “deny” Republicans’ bid to enforce an Arizona law requiring individuals to prove they’re U.S. citizens when registering and voting in elections.
Arguing on behalf of the administration, U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar requested that the nation’s highest court instead allow a lower court decision — one prohibiting the implementation of provisions of the statute in question — to remain in effect for the November election.
It Don’t Come Easy, Kamala

Forget about all the smog that corporate media is belching. Kamala Harris is still a ditz. Her sidekick, Tim Walz, is a progressive Minnesota Fats. He’s all about the hustle. He’s a guy who stole valor thinking he could trade it for a beer. The Kamala that we’ve come to know is being memory-holed -- or so our hubristic betters hope. For them, like The Fly, something new is aborning. Spinning sellable narratives depends first on the old Kamala disappearing.
Corporate media’s pollsters are hired to massage numbers as needed. Number massaging is crucial. Kamala vying with Trump in the polls -- in fact, leading him by
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, says their campaign is considering joining forces with Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump.
In an interview with Tom Bilyeu on his show, Impact Theory, Shanahan revealed that she trusts “the future” of the United States under the leadership of people such as Trump and his vice presidential pick, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH).
When questioned about rumors that Kennedy was in talks with either Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign about a “potential endorsement” in exchange for a position in their cabinets, Shanahan said they were “definitely not in talks with Harris”
New York’s top court affirmed Tuesday that a measure expanding access to absentee voting in the state is constitutional, rejecting a lawsuit led by House GOP Chair Elise Stefanik (N.Y.).
The New York Court of Appeals ruled 6-1 that New York’s Early Mail Voter Act, which allows registered voters to submit ballots early by mail in any election where they are eligible to vote, can stand. The measure was signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) last year. “Our task is to rigorously analyze the constitutional text and history to determine if New York’s Early Mail Voter Act is unconstitutional,” Chief Judge Rowan Wilson wrote
CHICAGO, Illinois — A pro-Israel group that was denied a permit to march during the Democratic National Convention gathered in a makeshift “Hostage Square” in the West Loop on Tuesday to make their voices heard.
The original “Hostage Square” is front of an art museum in Tel Aviv, Israel, and was given that name after it became a gathering place for the families of kidnapped and missing Israelis in the wake of the Hamas terror attack of October 7.
Like its namesake in Israel, the “Hostage Square” in Chicago features art installations that draw attention to the victims of Hamas — in particular, to U.S. citizens who were murdered or taken hostage.
Democrats will open their convention with a celebration of President Biden, the candidate for whom they nigh-unanimously voted in primaries only to jettison as unelectable as November beckoned.

That’s the thinking of House Republicans, who’ve released a final report on their long-running probe of the Biden family business — i.e., the lucrative sale of Biden’s political influence to agents of corrupt and anti-American regimes(snip)
Biden and his record are the last things Democrats want to remind the country of; they are doing this Chicago farewell because it’s the price he and his family (snip)demanded before he would step aside.
It was an amazing thing to see last night. After pushing Biden out of the race, the night that was supposed to be his swan song became the Democrats' final insult as Biden's speech was pushed well past primetime. Much of the country was out of luck if they wanted to watch the speech and still be able to wake up to go to work in the morning.
It's as if the Democratic Party deliberately pushed the speech to a time when many Americans would largely not bother watching it. Yes, Biden was introduced by a series of speakers who gave lip service to how great, wonderful, and consequential
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s (D) children were not conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF), the Harris-Walz campaign confirmed this week. This comes after Walz claimed multiple times that he owes his two children to IVF. According to The New York Times, “many have assumed” that Walz and his wife, Gwen, relied on IVF to conceive. This includes several prominent news outlets that reported that the couple used IVF.
In April, the Tim Walz for Governor campaign office mailed out a fundraising letter in an envelope that said, “My wife and I used IVF to start a family,” the Times pointed out.
Representatives of the jihadist terrorist organization Hamas condemned the terms of an alleged “bridging proposal” to move it towards a ceasefire with Israel on Monday.
Hamas representatives told various media outlets that the provisions U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken discussed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that day were a “coup against” a previous Hamas-friendly proposal Israel rejected.
Blinken was in Israel on Monday to discuss what he called the “last opportunity” for an end to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) ongoing self-defense operations in Gaza, Hamas’s stronghold territory used to launch the unprecedented October 7 attack on the Israeli homeland.

The war on children

Most politicians lie like the devil because they work for him. Their stated goals — peace, love and soil — are cow droppings. Results matter. Given the low birth rates in Western countries, a childless world is one of their goals. Why would that be?

The Lord said go forth and multiply, He did not mean do your math homework. That Democrats offer free vasectomies and abortions at their convention shows which side they are on.
They are after your children. Let us review recent headlines.
Establishment media outlets are signaling that Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris’s honeymoon phase is over after the first day of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) saw major issues with logistics and operations.
Several media figures from across the spectrum began publicly criticizing and even openly mocking Democrats for their mistakes at the DNC, particularly with regard to press operations and workspace but also with regard to the flow of convention programming that went far too long on Monday evening. The derailed convention programming, which was far behind schedule, led to President Joe Biden–the sitting president of the United States–being pushed

130 More Times than ‘Crime,’ ‘Inflation,’
and ‘Border’ Combined replies
Speakers at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Monday in Chicago, Illinois, reportedly mentioned the word “Trump” 130 more times than three of the top 2024 issues combined: “crime,” “inflation,” and “border.”
The Harris campaign avoids the issues because it is caught in a so-called “catch-22.”
Speaking about policies to fix crime, inflation, and border security would undermine the Biden-Harris administration’s claim of having solved those issues. However, Democrats must tout the administration’s policy successes to validate presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris’s record and candidacy.
Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was spotted wandering through merch stalls less than two hours before he wounded the ex-president.
Crooks grazed Trump in the right ear as he spoke at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, and killed supporter Corey Comperatore in the crowd.
Trump was shot at 6:11 pm by the first of eight bullets Crooks fired from the roof of a nearby building until he was gunned down by a Secret Service counter-sniper. A salesman for Iron Clad USA inadvertently filmed Crooks casually strolling past his booth outside the rally at 4:26 pm - the earliest known recording of him at the rally.
CLAIM: “Creating hundreds of thousands of jobs in clean energy for American workers, including the IBEW installing 500,000—500,000—charging stations all across America.”
VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. They built eight, as of May.
President Joe Biden claimed credit Monday night for building 500,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, as part of the bipartisan infrastructure bill. The reality is that as of May 2024, two and-a-half years after the bill was passed, only eight of the charging stations had been built.

Democrats always find creative ways to sink to new lows when it comes to rhetoric, and Democrat Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear went straight to the depths of Hell this morning to make a disturbing statement about Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) and his family.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Day One at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago was a total catastrophe with pro-Hamas protesters breaking through barriers, several speakers screaming like banshees, and Joe Biden melting down on stage as expected.
Beshear gave a speech on Monday evening piling on this disaster by celebrating abortion on demand.
Kamala's elephant in the room
replies
They call it the elephant in the room or the issue that won't go away. I am talking about the price of food or that weekly purchase that we all make. VP Harris may pretend to feel our pain or to propose silly solutions to ease it but it's the same old inflation crushing our wallets.
Let's take a look.
(snip) As I overheard someone say, inflation is a number on the TV screen until you go shopping. Then it takes over your family's budget and you feel like you are drowning all the time.
Inflation is also topic one when you go out with friends.
ABC News anchor Linsey Davis — who will moderate the first debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris — linked Trump to the KKK during an interview at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night.
Davis was speaking to Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer when she connected Trump to the KKK. She said to Whitmer:
As you know, former President Donald Trump is expected to go campaign in Howell, Michigan, tomorrow. Many people are aware that a month ago, in Howell, KKK protesters marched in the streets with the white robes on and suggested that they support Donald Trump.
The past few weeks have been an undeniable political love fest for Kamala Harris. The enthusiasm from endless positive coverage and Democrats rallying behind her pushed her modestly ahead in the polls. The best days of her campaign are now behind her, and former Obama advisor David Axelrod said that the enthusiasm isn't enough, urged caution among Democrats, and warned against overconfidence despite Kamala's recent progress in the polls.
"How encouraged should Democrats be?" CNN's Anderson Cooper asked Axelrod Sunday night. "Is there a danger of them actually being kind of too euphoric?"
Someone once said that timing is everything. And if Donald Trump knows anything, it's when to drop news designed to rile up his adversaries. And that's exactly what he just did. Readers likely know that Monday was the start of the Democrat National Convention (DNC) in Chicago
As my colleague Nick Arama wrote, the keynote remarks at the close of the first day were by President Joe Biden, who "by God" did his best to get through a shouty and scattered farewell to his party.

Shortly before midnight on Monday evening, Joe Biden finally took the stage at the DNC. Billed as his "final speech" and a tribute to his career, the failed president, who dropped out of the race in July, was nothing new. Instead, his time behind the podium was incredibly typical, with lots of angry shouting and repeating the same old lies. If you watched his last State of the Union, you've heard it all. Here's a helpful photo guide of how things went. I suppose expecting an 81-year-old mental invalid to bring anything fresh to the table was never realistic. Regardless of his deficient

President Biden took the George McGovern Memorial Time Slot at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last night. I have posted the video below. The White House has not yet posted a transcript. The Time transcript is posted here. Time times the transcript as a “27 minute read.” On a feels-like basis, it’s more like 27 hours.
The New York Post cover (right) captures the indignity of it all. It is keyed to Steven Nelson’s cover story. Nelson notes somewhat cruelly:
“We finally beat Big Pharma,” Biden declared at one point, correctly using the June 27 debate-stage line that doomed his candidacy when he instead uttered that he “finally beat Medicare.”
On the menu today: The first night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago stretched into the second morning, as a cavalcade of minor-league Democratic officials pushed Joe Biden’s farewell address right out of prime time. Instead, Biden began addressing the nation right around the time that Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel usually greet their audiences, and went on for 50 minutes or so. Last night, the stage was set for genuine drama, for the rare sight of a sitting president who was effectively strong-armed out of the nomination by other powerful party figures offering his farewell to the party and passing the torch to his handpicked successor. But
If you had insomina last night, watching Joe Biden's televised appearance at the Democratic National Convention would have been the place to kill it off.
It was boring as hell, devoid of content, Joe Biden mechanically repeating the same crap he's been repeating for the past three years and as a professional bore, telling all, in a pathetic bid to claim that his presidency was somehow a success.
The economy is up. Crime is down. The border surge never happened but is now fixed. The budget is under control. Inflation is conquered. His family is wholesome.

Democrats And Their Riots

Vice President Hubert Humphrey entered the 1968 Democratic National Convention polling well though he had run in none of the primaries nor had he received a single vote. The convention, marred by conflict and bloodshed, was “disastrous” in historical terms, with Republican Richard Nixon emerging, says the Washington Post, as “the one person” who was “fully victorious.”
Will this year’s convention, in Chicago, just as in 1968, yield a similar result? Those who care for the future of this country and don’t want it fundamentally transformed by radicals, should pray so.
The similarities between the Democrats’ 1968 and 2024 conventions go far beyond the host city.
The third-rate vaudeville being mounted in Chicago this week is irrelevant to anything that matters - except for the bleak fact that half the American people are minded to go along with it, which helps explains why meaningful course-correction is all but impossible. This grim vignette, however, struck me as almost poignant: [snip for Tweet] Almost two decades ago, I began my demographic bestseller America Alone with a famous assertion by the historian Arnold Toynbee: Civilisations die from suicide, not murder.
Joe Biden is easily the worst human being to hold the office of President of the United States of America. The send-off his own party gave him, as ignominious as it was, was still not nearly as ignominious as he deserved.
First, Biden was forced out of his reelection campaign, months after he'd "won" the nomination in a rigged primary, by a cabal of insiders including his old boss, Barack Obama. You know, the man who reminded fellow Democrats to "never underestimate Joe's ability to f*** things up." Then his farewell address — angry and disassociated — was bumped out of primetime by an assortment of has-been and never-will-be speakers.
When my twin brother and I were children, we had a magical machine called a Victrola. We were able to put "33" and "45" and "78" records––I never learned what those numbers stood for––on the turntable and place the handle with the needle on each record to listen to the music we loved.
But every now and then, the needle, if not perfectly placed, would scratch the record, and that would result in the music being unable to go forward. I remember it once got stuck on Oh What a Beautiful Morning from the musical “Oklahoma,” and all we heard on an endless loop was morning, morning, morning, morning…

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) told the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, on Monday night that Republicans could try to “kill” Sen. JD Vance.
Raskin was referring to the hostility expressed by a small group of rioters on January 6, 2021, who brought a mock guillotine to the Capitol and were said to be searching for Vice President Mike Pence to punish him for not rejecting the congressional certification of the Electoral College vote.
The speech was bitter, and vindictive — as much of Raskin’s rhetoric has been about Trump, even before he took office.
With difficulty, I endured an evening of Democratic National Convention festivities on the first night.
In politics, both sides exaggerate their good points and distract from their negatives, but Monday was like watching a melodrama with invented realities.
I trust that the GOP and Trump campaign will take this event seriously and learn from the attacks upon the former president.

These aren’t the reviews Vice President Kamala Harris was hoping for when she premiered her economic plan. Worse, many of them came from her fans. Which might explain why Democrats are begging Harris to keep the rest of her agenda hidden until after the elections.

Our government, and a number of other Western governments, are committed to a goal of “net zero.” That is, our countries will add nothing further to the level of CO2 in the atmosphere. Any emissions of CO2 (e.g., breathing) will be balanced by absorption of CO2 by, e.g., plants. Various dates are specified in these aspirational statements, none of them realistic. And of course, the world’s main sources of atmospheric CO2 (China and India now account for most of the world’s CO2 emissions) have no intention of cutting their CO2 emissions, let alone cutting them to net zero.
But suppose we did it.
In conservative circles, just a handful of pundits are our intellectual heavyweights: cerebral, highly educated geniuses like Thomas Sowell, Milton Friedman, Victor Davis Hanson, Russell Kirk, and William F.

Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends.

President LOLEightyonemillion was forced to cool his heels long past his bedtime, which Matt first wrote about here.
Nothing says, "We still love this guy and there was no coup," like making the President of the United States loll about in the green room while a parade of party lessers comes close to turning his Monday speech into a Tuesday speech.

A Democrat speaker on Monday night spoke about faith during her speech. She forgot to mention the free abortion bus out back. Planned Parenthood is offering free abortions and vasectomies at the convention this week.
Whatever happened to safe, legal and rare?

The Israeli military said Tuesday that it recovered the bodies of six hostages taken in Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack that started the war in Gaza.
The recovery came as the United States, Egypt and Qatar are trying to mediate a cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas that would see the release of scores of hostages held by the militant group.
The military said in a statement that its forces recovered the bodies in an overnight operation in southern Gaza. It identified the hostages as Yagev Buchshtab, Alexander Dancyg, Avraham Munder, Yoram Metzger, Nadav Popplewell and Haim Perry, without saying when or how they died.
August 6 marked the tenth anniversary of "the Black Day," a day indelible to Iraqi Christians as the start of the unrelenting atrocities to which they were subjected on August 6, 2014, ten years ago.
On that day, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) unleashed a jihadi massacre of unprecedented terror, brutally attacking ancient Christian communities across northern Iraq. Villages were overrun, homes and churches looted and destroyed, and countless lives shattered. Christians were murdered, raped and sold into slavery.
The Harris-Walz campaign beggars the meaning of irony. In an effort to look and sound competent, Harris unveiled her diabolically crafted economic plan on Friday. Purportedly, she intends to solve the problems that she and the decrepit sock-puppet Joe Biden created. In typical liberal fashion, the mainstream media complex is pretending Kamala never existed before her Democrat party coronation. Once an absolute pariah, spitting disjointed hooks like a cybernetic impression of a rap artist, Kamala is now a heroine. We’re witnessing the enthronement of a court jester.

Joe Biden was, on some level, wrapping up his political career during his DNC speech on Monday night. He had expected to give the keynote address on Thursday. That was before the coup, when he was shoved aside and replaced by Kamala Harris as the nominee. So, you can imagine he's not a happy camper when it comes to that.
It was perhaps appropriate that the day was a mess with protesters breaching the security fence, attacking the police, and getting arrested. Then, Biden made weird comments about former President Donald Trump, claiming his "stability" was still a question. Um, Joe? It isn't Trump whose stability is in question
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made her entrance on the stage of the Democrat National Convention in Chicago to Sara Bareilles' song, "Brave," followed by a standing ovation and a ton of applause. Next to AOC's speech, this was the most energy exhibited at what has been a fairly lackluster Night 1 of the DNC.
Clinton noted the rise in energy.
Wow. There's a lot of energy in this room, just like there is across the country! Something, something is happening in America! You can feel it. Something we've worked for and dreamed of for a long time.
First, though, let's salute President Biden.
