Bob Menendez's resignation from the US Senate became official Tuesday, a much-anticipated move that follows his conviction on bribery charges in July.
The New Jersey Democrat was found guilty on 16 counts tied to a scheme where he accepted bribes, including gold bars and a Mercedes-Benz, to aid the Qatari and Egyptian governments.
He will face a potentially lengthy prison term at his sentencing in October.

The latest faux controversy to envelop Donald Trump’s campaign has to do with the history of a small town in Michigan. The Democrats want to turn a Trump visit into a renewed debate about white supremacy.
If only they’d checked who’d visited before Trump did.
Howell, Michigan, is the county seat of Livingston County, which contains a not insignificant share of Detroit’s suburbs. That makes it key for both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris to carry the area if they want to win a state that has, over the past few election cycles, been decided by razor-thin margins.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) continues to hound pro-life activists who go to abortion businesses and try to convince pregnant women not to kill their babies.
A Detroit, Michigan, jury found seven pro-lifers guilty Tuesday of engaging in a civil rights conspiracy and violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act for standing and sitting in front of the door of the Northland Family Planning Clinic in Sterling Heights, Michigan, Aug. 27, 2020.
The 1994 Clinton-era FACE Act makes it a federal crime to intimidate or interfere with someone getting an abortion. Combined with the conspiracy charge the DOJ has added to recent FACE charges, the combined convictions

The “never let a crisis go to waste” narrative continues advancing today with Congressman Mike Waltz.(snp)If you do not choose to give up some private communication tools in order to make the USA a safer place, then you don’t care about the security of President Trump or something. That’s the rapidly approaching talking point from the professionally republican.
The Deep State loves unilateral transparency where We The People are transparent, and they remain opaque. Sorry, but look where we are now.
A federal appeals court ruled that Minnesota's law that bans people ages 18 to 20 from obtaining permits to carry guns is unconstitutional, prompting criticism over Governor Tim Walz's stance on the Second Amendment.
"As a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment, I welcome the federal appeals court's decision regarding Minnesota's law. This ruling affirms the constitutional rights of all law-abiding citizens to bear arms," Republican Minnesota Rep. Pete Stauber said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "It is crucial, especially at a time when crime rates are a concern, that individuals have the means to protect themselves and their families."
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi insisted in a new interview that she wanted an "open process" to replace President Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket but Vice President Kamala Harris "took advantage" of the opportunity. "Many of us who were concerned about the election wanted to have an open process. It was an open process, anyone could have gotten in," Pelosi said during an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
A federal judge has ordered California to accept concealed carry applications from out-of-state residents. This victory is the second time a state has been forced to issue out-of-state concealed carry permits this month. Early in August, New York City passed an emergency order to issue permits to non-New York residents to avoid a lawsuit by Gun Owners of America. In this case plaintiffs filed the lawsuit in the United States Central District Court of California. The suit challenges California’s refusal to issue or recognize out-of-state concealed carry permits, the exorbitant fees to obtain a concealed carry permit, the long wait times, the required psychological exam, and the discretionary denials
Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) eviscerated Vice President Kamala Harris during a campaign stop in North Carolina Wednesday, making the case that she is wholly unable to handle herself in a true leadership capacity.
“Kamala Harris hasn’t won a single vote for the Democratic Party,” Vance said, discussing how Democrat elites overrode the will of 14 million Democrat primary voters and instead coronated Harris as their top-of-the-ticket nominee. “Democrats, they think they’ve cracked the code for how to appeal to normal Americans,” he said, mocking Democrats for distributing camo hats with Harris’s name on them at the DNC.
Donald Trump said Wednesday he was giving up being nice to the Obamas, after they used their speeches at the Democratic convention to mock his record, his crowd sizes and even his manhood.
He called former first lady Michelle 'nasty' and said they had been the ones calling for more policy, less poison before launching their own personal attacks.
A day earlier he had even said he had respect for the couple. 'I'm trying to be nice to these people,' he told DailyMail.com after coming offstage at a rally in Asheboro, North Carolina, his first outdoor appearance since being shot.
'They were lousy presidents, and you know this one coming. It's the worst.'
On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett decided that California’s ban on concealed carry permits for non-residents fails standards set forth by Bruen (2022) and Rahimi (2024). Therefore, Garnett, a Joe Biden appointee, issued an injunction against the ban. The case focused on the prohibition against permit issuance to out-of-state residents. Gun Owners Foundation highlighted portions of Garnett’s decision wherein she wrote, “Here, Plaintiffs have… demonstrated that the text of the Second Amendment likely applies to the first of its arguments, that non-residents have the right, like California residents, to apply to lawfully carry firearms for self-defense while in public.”
A massive new statue has been unveiled in the United States, with the gargantuan construct not honoring a famous American or historical figure but rather a polytheistic group’s god with the head of a monkey.
The “Statue of Union” was inaugurated Aug. 18 at the Sri Ashtalakshmi Hindu Temple in Sugar Land, Texas.
It depicts the Hindu god Lord Hanuman, one of the religion’s countless deities. Hanuman, a god of strength, devotion and selfless service, is most often depicted with the head and tail of a monkey.
The monument stands exactly 89.7 feet tall, making it the third-tallest statue in the United States, according to the “Statue of Union” website.
A Texas comedian known for trolling local city council meetings went undercover at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, posing as a "White Dude for Kamala Harris." He blended in so well with the "non-binary," cuckold crowd that the mainstream media even asked him for an on-camera interview, assuming he was one of the white self-loathing liberal die-hards for Harris. When a BBC News reporter asked Austin-based entertainer Alex Strenger, who was wearing a "Harris President 2024" shirt, a face mask, and a Jamaican Rasta beanie, what brought him to the DNC, he replied,
CNN’s Scott Jennings is a one-man army against the network’s anti-Trump bias. He’s been one of the few voices of reason on panels overwhelmingly biased toward Democrats. Still, he shreds familiar liberal narratives. After the euphoria of last night with speeches by Michelle and Barack Obama, Jennings brought the conversation back down to Earth. The entire week will be about bashing Trump and blaming this man for all the ills facing the country. Here’s the problem with that line, which Jennings reiterated last night: How can it be Trump’s fault that America is so divided and on the verge of ruin when Democrats have
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has unveiled a new rule that the government estimates will protect about 550,000 illegal immigrants from being deported.
A federal law called the Immigration and Nationality Act gives federal officials the ability to grant parole to illegal immigrants who are already in the United States. DHS officials are using the powers to grant protection to some illegal immigrants who are married to U.S. citizens, as directed by President Joe Biden.
The DHS said that the government is trying to keep families together and that “granting parole in place, on a case-by-case basis,

Former President Donald Trump left the podium behind bulletproof glass during a rally in North Carolina on Wednesday to check on a supporter who passed out.
The rally was Trump’s first outdoor event since surviving last month’s attempted assassination.Republicans praised the president’s courageous willingness to leave the safety of the glass after nearly losing his life at a Pennsylvania rally.

As armored and ‘maneuver warfare’ emerges in Europe, the one weapon that can pin down enemy steel and infantry, which Ukraine lacks in large numbers, Russia has and the US is fervently potentiating, is the attack helicopter.
The stunning Ukrainian incursion into Kursk finally marks the dawn of Western ‘maneuver warfare’ on the front. Fast moving mechanized formations assaulted the frontline ‘screens’, driving deep into the enemy rear, exploiting the lack of Russian defensive preparedness there. But as Western think-tanks like the ISW (Institute for the Study of War) suggest, it is important to capitalize on the “operational surprise,” “restore” maneuver warfare and address the “problems” with “permanent positional warfare.”

The television ratings of the first night of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) sunk 22 percent from 2016, according to Nielsen.
The ratings crash suggests that Vice President Kamala Harris is far less popular than the media purported.About 20 million people watched the first night of the DNC, up from 2020’s virtual convention but severely down from 2016, Axios reported:Around 19.1 million viewers watched the DNC live from 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. ET during the president’s speech.

Well, that’s five lies all tied up in one bundle! Joe Biden is easily the worst president in my lifetime, possibly ever. He and his family got rich, not by serving anyone, but by grifting on his various political offices. Slow Joe also didn’t step aside; he was kicked to the curb
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will 'address the nation' Friday about his path forward in the 2024 race.
Kennedy will speak in Phoenix, Arizona - one day after the Democratic National Convention wraps up in Chicago.
Also in Phoenix that day - former President Donald Trump, who Kennedy's running mate, Nicole Shanahan, said the independent is thinking about endorsing. Trump has been courting a Kennedy endorsement for weeks and the two spoke by phone in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on the ex-president.
On the flip side, the Democrats have scorned Kennedy, who had previously been one of their own.

CHICAGO, Illinois — Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has launched a website describing Vice President Kamala Harris’s policies — since her own presidential campaign has yet to include any on her own campaign site.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to address the nation about his path forward in the presidential race Friday from Phoenix, Arizona. Kennedy’s press secretary, Stefanie Spear, posted the announcement about "the present historic moment and his path forward" on social media on Wednesday afternoon.
The announcement comes after Kennedy’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, blasted Democrats on Tuesday, saying she "fully supports" a role for Kennedy in a future Trump administration. Shanahan also hinted that they could end their campaign and back former President Trump.
Coincidentally, Trump is holding an Arizona rally on Friday in Glendale, which is about 20 minutes from Phoenix.
Make no mistake about it, there are deep divisions within the Democratic Party. Biden loyalists, and indeed, Joe Biden himself, are still angry at how he was pushed out of the race, and then, adding insult to injury, his Swan Song was pushed to 11:30pm ET Monday night—well after primetime. Meanwhile, signs of Bidenworld plotting revenge stick out like a sore thumb.
After his outward display of unity, Biden promptly hightailed it to California for yet another vacation—an obvious snub of Barack Obama, who was one of the key figures who forced him out, as well as Kamala Harris, who is set to accept her party's nomination for president Thursday evening.
Teamsters President Sean O’Brien is addressing the Democratic National Convention (DNC) for reportedly snubbing him following his historic speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC) last month. O’Brien, a self-proclaimed "lifelong Democrat," argued that the convention "failed to invite one of the most powerful unions" in the U.S., and for that, they would be criticized.
"You know, the reality is they didn’t invite us, and we’ve been around [for] 121 years. We’re going to continue to be around for 121 years," he said Tuesday during his appearance on "Your World with Neil Cavuto."
For the past few days, rumors and reports have indicated that the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics was going to downwardly revise their assessment of the number of jobs created from April 2023 to March 2024 “by up to 1 million.

The revision is out, and while it’s not quite a million, it’s still really darn high — 818,000 fewer jobs created in that yearlong period than were initially reported.

Not only do Democrats fashion themselves the protectors of “democracy,” they claim to be champions of decency.
Well, if the second day of the Democratic National Convention is any indication, the left doesn’t have any claim to the moral high ground.
For one thing, no one at the DNC seemed even mildly constrained by the truth. More than once, for instance, Democrats falsely claimed that former President Donald Trump had referred to the tiki torch Nazis of Charlottesville as “very fine people.”
ABC’s Good Morning America has always been a team player for the left, so that meant on Wednesday they had to have on-air Obamagasams to get their points across about how Barack and Michelle Obama were an “electrifying” and “forceful one-two punch” with “political and personal” speeches “pummeling Donald Trump in blistering terms..as dangerous, divisive, and petty” on a night that felt “genuinely new”.
Co-host and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos salivated right off the top, remarking to co-host Robin Roberts: “What a rocking night at the Democratic National Convention.”

Conservatives were making hay about Kamala Harris’ latest “word salad” at a campaign event in Pennsylvania, where, in an attempt to sound intelligent, she went on about the “duality of democracy.”
“They took Kamala off the teleprompter today in Pennsylvania,” Outkick.com founder Clay Travis posted on X. “It didn’t go well.”
But conservatives have it wrong. It’s actually much worse than that.
Harris has been uttering this particular word salad for years – robotically, using almost the exact same phraseology, and at almost any public event where she was allowed to speak, whether or not it was relevant.
If Americans think Joe Biden’s economy’s bad, then just wait ‘til they get Kamala Harris’s economy.
Over the last four years, Biden’s excessive spending has helped stoke the inflation inferno that has consumed average Americans’ paychecks. But as big as Biden has spent, Harris wants to spend even bigger. Not simply dependent on the extreme left, as Biden has been, Harris is one of them and brings their spending priorities with her.
It’s time to put to bed the debate over whether it was intention or incompetence that forced Joe Biden’s convention speech into a slot well past prime time.
All the evidence points to intent.
Organizers scheduled too many speakers and knew what they were going to say because it was all loaded on to TelePrompters. No matter their lame defenses Tuesday, they had to assume there would be time spent on applause and transitions, so Biden’s finishing well after midnight on the East Coast could not be a surprise to them.
Then again, who can fault the organizers for wanting to hide him?
Former First Lady Michelle Obama played the race card against former President Donald Trump in her speech to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, on Tuesday night, accusing him of opposing her and former President Barack Obama because of racism.
Gone was the speaker who told Democrats in 2016, “When they go low, we go high.” Instead, there was this, on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris:We know folks are gonna do everything they can to distort her truth. My husband and I, sadly, know a little something about this. For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power try to make people fear us.
For a moment on Tuesday, it was 2008 all over again at the Democratic National Convention.
“I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling fired up.
