Cardinal Blase Cupich, the progressive Catholic Archbishop of Chicago, offered the invocation for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) Monday without ever mentioning Jesus Christ. (snip) In his anodyne address, Cardinal Cupich avoided abortion and all other relevant issues in the election to focus on niceness.

Experts are sounding the alarm in the wake of college prices closing in on $100,000 per year when counting tuition, fees, room and board, books, and other living expenses.
“Among the schools appearing on The Princeton Review’s ‘The Best 389 Colleges’ list, eight institutions — including New York University, Tufts, Brown, Yale and Washington University in St. Louis — have a sticker price of more than $90,000 for the 2024-25 academic year,” CNBC reported. Those tuition prices could well cross into the $100,000 territory come 2026 so long as the adjustments average roughly 4 percent a year.
Throughout the Democratic National Convention, Democrats made a big show out of being “normal,” of standing for “freedom” and traditional, patriotic values. They did their best, but of course it is all a lie; there’s nothing normal about them.
Allow me to guide you through the Democrats’ wondrous world of human freaks and oddities. But first, we must get inside!

Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has accused his own party of blatant hypocrisy regarding voting rights. He asserts that while the Democratic National Committee (DNC) publicly champions the cause of voter access, they are simultaneously engaged in efforts to suppress the opponent’s candidacy, including him.
Kennedy Jr., who is facing significant resistance from party insiders, claims that the DNC and various state-level organizations are employing underhanded tactics to undermine his campaign.
His vice-presidential pick, Nicole Shanahan, echoed these sentiments, highlighting the alarming trend of legal battles initiated by Democrats against political opponents.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a new Arizona law -- which requires individuals to provide proof of citizenship in order to register to vote -- can go into effect immediately. (X) The Republican National Committee is celebrating the decision as a win for election integrity.
“This is a major victory for election integrity that upholds a simple principle: American elections must be decided by American citizens. While Democrats have worked to undermine basic election safeguards and make it easier for non-citizens to vote, we have fought tooth and nail to preserve citizenship requirements,
The Trump-Vance campaign sent out a media advisory on Thursday night teasing that former and potentially future President Donald Trump will be joined by a "special guest" at his rally at Glendale, Arizona on Friday. The Trump War Room account also put out a post teasing this mystery person, though it's widely speculated that such a guest will be Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who is presently running for president as an Independent. (X;s) Earlier this week, as Katie has been covering, Nicole Shanahan, RFK's running mate, hinted that RFK may be dropping out of the race to "join forces with" Trump.
Former Republican presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy was chased out of an anti-Israel protest a few blocks away from the DNC after making a surprise appearance.
Ramaswamy was noticed by the crowd of radical activists as soon as he left his car, and was swarmed by protesters and journalists at Union Park where the protests have been organizing all week.
“You should take off. We don’t want you here,” Hatem Abudayyeh, who openly supports Hamas, told Ramaswamy. The Arab activist, who had his home raided by the FBI in 2010 for “material support of terrorism,” told Ramaswamy to leave after telling him he doesn’t have a right to be present if
Barack Obama was elected in 2008 on his vague promise of “hope and change.” It was a shrewd strategy. He played into Americans’ perpetual dissatisfaction with their elected officials. Who doesn’t want change in the political system, and what better thing to hope for?
Moreover, by running mostly on a slogan, he became an empty vessel for people to fill with their individual hankerings. If you hoped that college would be changed to make it tuition free, then Obama’s your man because, after all, he did promise hope and change.
Everybody's talking about it at the Democratic National Convention - but nobody knows if it's a rumor or reality.
It's that Beyoncé will enter the 2024 political race, by performing her hit Freedom ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris' nominating speech Thursday night.
Supporters have tried to will both a Beyoncé and Taylor Swift endorsement into existence, with more than 70,000 signing a MoveOn.org petition asking the two stars to step up. But it's Queen Bey who's been on the tip of everyone's lips during the four-day convention in Chicago - with one Democratic state party chair openly saying in front of reporters that she was coming.
Like most left-leaning outlets, Axios has its good days and bad. They were excellent reporting on the turmoil and chaos that engulfed the Biden White House after the June 27 debate, which killed the president’s re-election effort. The White House staff’s irreparable deflation, Democratic congressional aides panicking, and the slew of calls with party leaders made disastrous headlines for the president. With Biden gone, Kamala Harris has taken the reins, and her first public policy proposal is to enact price fixes to curb the rising process from the Biden-Harris inflationary agenda. Axios tried to spin this and got slapped with a brutal fact check on Twitter (via Daily Wire):
Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris’s economic plan would increase taxes by $5 trillion over ten years, according to Americans for Tax Reform (ATR).
Harris’s campaign announced an enormous economic package on Monday that would undo former President Donald Trump’s tax cuts, claiming it would be part of “a fiscally responsible way to put money back in the pockets of working people and ensure billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share.” Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act slashed the corporate tax rate from 35 to 21 percent, lowered income tax rates, and doubled the standard deduction.
As one of the negotiators of the disastrous border bill put together and released earlier this year, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) has been prone to gaslighting about illegal immigration and the failures of the Biden-Harris administration on the issue. He took it all that much further, though, when he spoke at the DNC on Wednesday night, coming up with what the Trump-Vance campaign referred to as the "most absurd lie yet from the DNC stage."
"Kamala Harris is not weak," Murphy laughably claimed about the vice president. "For 20 years, Kamala Harris has been tough as nails when it comes to securing our border,"
CNN’s Scott Jennings poured cold water on the outlet’s DNC panel, reminding them of the harsh reality Democrats must contend with.
As the left is riding the high of their convention, it’s clear that they are desperate to maintain this momentum until November. A quick reality check exposes why they need smoke and mirrors to make Vice President Kamala Harris look appealing.

Update: The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office reports that the suspect is now in custody.
The original article continues below. An urgent manhunt is underway for an Arizona sex offender who allegedly threatened to assassinate former President Donald Trump during his Thursday visit to the U.S.-Mexico border. Ronald Lee Syvrud — whom the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office described as a 66-year-old white man who stands at six feet tall, weighs 220 pounds, and wears glasses — allegedly made the unspecified threats on social media, the Daily Mail reported.
The Atlantic Ocean is now cooling at a record speed, leading climate alarmists absolutely baffled.
While temperatures in the ocean were recently reaching record highs, that trend has gone into reverse over the past year, confusing scientists and those warning about an impending global catastrophe.
The New Scientist explains:
Over the past three months, the shift from hot to cool temperatures in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean has happened at record speed. This emerging “Atlantic Niña” pattern comes just ahead of an expected transition to a cooler La Niña in the Pacific Ocean, and these back-to-back events could have ripple effects on weather worldwide.

Heartbreaking Remarks at Arizona Border
With Donald Trump replies
It's been a bit of an eventful day for and in the State of Arizona Thursday. While the DNC is wrapping in Chicago, former President Donald Trump is touring the Southern border in Cochise County, Arizona. Just ahead of his press conference there, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an order staying a lower court ruling and allowing the Arizona law requiring proof of citizenship when registering to vote to go into effect. And on top of that, there's an active manhunt going on for an individual who threatened to assassinate Trump while in Arizona.
Despite the manhunt, Trump proceeded with the event,
There's breaking news on the story of the Arizona man who allegedly said he sought to kill former President Donald Trump at the U.S.- Mexico border, after a frantic manhunt ensued while the Republican nominee visited Cochise County Thursday.
A manhunt is underway in Arizona, where Cochise County officials are looking for Ronald Lee Syrvud, a 66-year-old man who has threatened to kill a presidential candidate. It's being reported that the candidate is Donald Trump, and that Syrvud intended to attempt to assassinate Trump today during an appearance in Cochise County.
As my colleague Jennifer Van Laar noted in her piece, Trump was speaking with county law enforcement officials
Oddly enough, there’s really only one thing both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump agree on: Joe Biden has been a disaster as President of the United States. Both Harris and Trump promise to undo much of what Biden has done, which is a good thing. But it’s a little bit weird that one of those candidates helped implement those policies in the first place. It’s going to be interesting to see how Kamala distances herself from, well, herself and Joe Biden.
What should they undo? Well, all of it, honestly. Joe Biden’s 4 years in the White House should be wiped clean from the history books.
Former president Donald Trump abruptly ended an interview with NewsNation Thursday after his security team alerted him to possible danger. This is the latest security threat against Trump as he runs for president for a third time.
“Can I tell you something? We’re in danger standing here talking,” Trump said to NewsNation reporter Ali Bradley mid-interview, the network reported. “So let’s not talk any longer.” Trump, speaking to Bradley at the southern border, warned her that she was also in danger before he ended the interview.
“[Security] doesn’t want me standing here. They don’t want you standing here
The news that third party presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may endorse former President Donald Trump Friday -- when he plans to drop out of the 2024 race for the White House -- is not going over well in Democratic circles.
According to Kennedy's vice presidential running mate Nicole Shanahan, Democrats are panicking over the potential move.
"My old Dem buddies have been flooding me with frantic calls, texts, and emails. Unlike Ro, I wouldn’t dream of airing those private conversations publicly, but the message is clear: they’re terrified of the idea of our movement joining forces with Donald Trump.
Several news outlets are reporting on a story that Donald Trump called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on August 14 to discuss the ongoing ceasefire negotiations with Hamas.
According to Axios, the story was supposedly confirmed by "two unnamed U.S. sources who were briefed on the call." "PBS Newshour" ran with the story with host Judy Woodruff claiming, "The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the Prime Minister of Israel, urging him not to cut a deal right now, because it’s believed that would help” Kamala Harris.
If Trump had made the call, he would have been in violation of the Logan Act,
More than three years after Jake Lang was locked up in the D.C. gulag and moved around to multiple prisons to make it difficult for his attorneys to find him, the January 6 protester now faces new charges.

During his years in prison, Lang has been put in solitary confinement and "the hole" multiple times. He's kept his head up, led efforts to get aid to other January 6 defendants including financial help,
A member of the Texas Democratic delegation, who arrived in Chicago for the Democratic National Convention this week, was robbed at gunpoint while walking with a friend in the city early Wednesday morning.
The delegate’s name is unknown at this time, CWBChicago reported. The outlet said it is “not identifying him by name because he is a crime victim.” The Chicago Police Department did not immediately respond to National Review’s request for comment.
The Arkansas Supreme Court on Thursday approved the state's rejection of a pro-abortion ballot initiative. The state rejected the initiative because organizers reportedly failed to provide proper documentation for hired signature gatherers. Arkansans for Limited Government, which sponsored the initiative, disputed the state's contention and argued it should have received more time to provide additional documentation, the Associated Press reported.[Snip]The initiative would have allowed abortion on demand in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy and abortion after that time for rape, incest, threats to maternal health, or fetal abnormalities inconsistent with life.
The Supreme Court on Thursday partially agreed to the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) emergency request to revive an Arizona law that strengthens proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting. In a 5-4 vote, the justices reinstated Arizona’s law mandating officials reject state voter registration forms if the person did not provide proof of citizenship. The court’s three liberal justices — Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson — dissented alongside conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett.[Snip]voting to deny the RNC’s other request, those four found themselves in the majority, bolstered by support from at least one of Chief Justice John Roberts orJustice Brett Kavanaugh.
A manhunt is underway in Arizona for a suspect who threatened to kill former President Trump ahead of a rally in the Copper State later Thursday. The Cochice County Sheriff’s Office has identified the suspect as 66-year-old Ronald Lee Syrvud. The sheriff’s office said Syrvud has outstanding warrants from the state of Wisconsin for DUI, failure to appear for DUI and from Graham County Arizona for hit-and-run and felony failure to register as a sex offender.
The sheriff’s office said it also has an absconder hold for Syrvud for failing to register as a sex offender.
Everybody Loves Raymond and Carol’s Second Chance star Patricia Heaton told PragerU CEO Marissa Streit that Christians need to stand with Jews and Israel, because “Christ’s biological family is being murdered,” adding that those who are faithful should understand that “the history of the Church” involved sacrificing for their beliefs.”
“Christ’s biological family is being murdered,” Heaton told Streit. “Our savior’s biological family, the Jewish people, are being murdered. We need to stand for them. We are grafted into Israel by the graciousness of God, so we need to stand for them.”
CARACAS - Venezuela's Supreme Justice Tribunal on Thursday ratified President Nicolas Maduro's victory in the July 28 presidential election, sealing institutional backing for the ruling party as the disputed contest fades from international headlines.
Since the vote and deadly anti-government protests which followed, Maduro's administration has conducted what the opposition, human rights groups and unions have characterized as a crackdown on dissent.
The actions have included arrests of opposition figures and protesters, an investigation into opposition leaders for allegedly inciting the military to commit crimes, the passage of a law tightening rules on NGOs, and forced resignations of state employees allegedly espousing pro-opposition views.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, washed-up talk show host Oprah Winfrey enthusiastically endorsed Kamala Harris at the DNC Convention in Chicago Wednesday night while trashing President Trump and other Republicans at the event.
Winfrey immediately opened her speech by outlandishly accusing Republicans of trying to scare voters, something Democrats, including Comrade Kamala, have been doing non-stop for decades. She also took a mean-spirited shot at Trump, calling him an impulsive liar and con artist.
“We are beyond ridiculous tweets and lies and foolery,” she bellowed.
CNN’s Scott Jennings struck again last night. Former President Bill Clinton addressed the crowd, where Slick Willy looked rough. Is he the same age as Trump? Sure, but we’ve been here before, folks. As Bill Maher said, Trump is like KISS—he may be old, but after he puts on the wig and makeup, he sounds like he did back in 1978. This convention has been a freak show, but Jennings’ observation of Clinton’s speech was spot-on: why was Clinton here when the voters he appealed to in the party have become Trump Republicans? Moreover, what is a man who was never held accountable for the credible accusations of rape
Donald Trump said Wednesday he would not be getting intelligence briefings as the Republican nominee for president for fear of being accused of leaking classified information.
U.S. spy agencies offer briefings to presidential candidates once they have secured their party's nomination to prepare them for life as commander in chief.
But after the F.B.I. recovered government documents including classified papers at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida, critics questioned whether Trump could be trusted with sensitive information.
Vice President Kamala Harris had not done a press conference nor an interview since Democratic Party elites installed her as their presidential nominee following a coup against President Joe Biden. But, amid their coverage of Night Three of the Democratic National Convention on The Situation Room on Wednesday, CNN host Erin Burnett floated the idea that Harris should just ignore the growing calls for her to make herself available to the media and press on with her campaign.
Essentially suggesting that CNN was fine with being irrelevant to the election process, Burnett rolled out her idea during an interview with radio host

The strange saga of how two Mexican drug lords were detained after landing in a plane in the United States in July just got stranger. The Mexican government now says it is bringing charges against Joaquín Guzmán López, but not because he was a leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel founded by his father, Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. Instead, Mexican prosecutors are bringing charges against the younger Guzmán for apparently kidnapping Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada — an older drug boss from a rival faction of the cartel — forcing him onto the plane and flying to an airport near El Paso, Texas.
CHICAGO, Illinois — The “Uncommitted” movement is staging a sit-in outside the United Center, where the Democratic National Convention is being held, demanding that a Palestinian speaker be added to the schedule.
The sit-in is being led by Abbas Alawieh, co-founder of the movement, who is a delegate from Michigan. He and fellow Uncommitted delegates marched out of the stadium on Thursday night and began a protest after the convention featured the parents of an Israeli-American hostage but refused to allow a pro-Palestinian speaker. (X Video) The activists were joined by left-wing members of Congress throughout Thursday night, including Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and others.

This quote by Mark Twain... or Abraham Lincoln — it's still unclear as to who said it — is not advice that Democrats thought to take, because the more they opened their mouths during the DNC, the more people seemed to sour on them.

The third evening of festivities at the Democratic National Convention culminated in the acceptance speech of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The preceding speakers pushed him out of prime time and into proximity with the George McGovern Memorial time slot. Walz was to be the last speaker during the 9:00 p.m. hour (EDT). Oprah Winfrey made a “surprise appearance.” Her star turn was not listed on the hourly schedule released by the DNC. It must have contributed to the lateness of the hour at which Walz appeared.
Walz took the spotlight a little after 11:00 (EDT). I think they intended for him to appear before then, but that’s the way it went.
On Wednesday night, after Pennsylvania Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro spoke at the Democratic National Convention, former President Donald Trump took aim at not only Shapiro but also Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, correctly pointing out the Democrats’ abandonment of the Jewish state and his own unmatched record of support for Israel.
Shapiro, who is Jewish, was passed over for Harris’ vice-presidential slot in a move that was widely considered to be Harris’ fear of the anti-Semites and anti-Israel members of the Democratic Party. In his speech, he never mentioned Israel once or anything regarding foreign policy,
A member of the Texas Democratic Delegation was robbed at gunpoint during the party's national convention, according to a report.
The victim, 25, was walking in downtown Chicago at 2am on Wednesday during the DNC when a black Range Rover pulled up alongside and armed men in ski masks got out.
The suspects are believed to have been involved in a string of robberies across the city, CWB Chicago reported. The attackers took the man's wallet and room keys, then crossed the street to rob someone else, the report states.

Three weeks ago, Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe angrily pushed back on senators’ calls to immediately fire or discipline key agents directly responsible for the security failures that led to the assassination attempt against former President Trump at last month’s campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Since that time, Secret Service leaders have placed several members of the Pittsburgh Field Office on administrative leave, according to three sources in the Secret Service community.
An eight-time Seattle felon allegedly carjacked and killed a beloved 80-year-old dog walker in broad daylight Tuesday before he fatally stabbed her precious pup. Jahmed Haynes, 48, is suspected of carjacking Ruth Dalton, 80, near the intersection of Martin Luther King Junior Way East and East Harrison Street in the Madison Valley neighborhood, 2.8 miles northeast of downtown Seattle, just before 10 a.m. Tuesday, according to Seattle police. SPD Deputy Chief Eric Barden says Haynes had gotten into the passenger side of Dalton’s blue Subaru SUV and attempted to push her out the driver’s door while at least two dogs were inside the vehicle.
A President that uses pronouns. It is as simple as that. Is that what America is about to elect? It is a scary thought. But Kamala Harris, who indeed has a record that is way off the mainstream of America is very close to becoming the leader of the free world Kamala Harris supports government intervention in order to create what she thinks is equality between men and women. She supports government forcing of pharmaceutical companies in order to enforce her progressive ideas on private companies. She doesn’t just believe in big government. She believes in a super-centralized idea of federal power. She believes in enforcing gun mandates in order to take guns back.
The FBI is investigating an incident at a delegate buffet breakfast at the Fairmont Hotel in Chicago where live maggots were thrown on the food.
"Multiple unknown female offenders are alleged to have entered a building...and began placing unknown objects onto tables containing food," the convention's information center said in a statement. "The offenders are believed to have then left the area. One victim was treated and released on-scene. Along with CPD, FBI-Chicago is assisting in the investigation."
No one claimed responsibility for what the FBI called an "attack." Got to watch those maggots, man. They can be vicious.

The Democrats continue to drag out their convention and milk it for every bit of earned media they can wring out of it. That process continued last night with the address from their newly minted Vice Presidential candidate, Tim Walz. The press was eating up the appearance of Walz's family in the audience, particularly his sobbing son who proudly declared, "That's my dad!" You can't really blame them because it was a rather touching moment and Walz's family is acting as if they still can't believe he's in this position. (Trust us... many of us can't believe it either.) Walz's speech was nothing for the history books, but
Democrats are delighting in needling former President Trump over his insecurities and baiting him into reactions, believing they are taking him off message and helping Vice President Harris’s surging campaign.
The needling, for Trump, is unending.Former first lady Michelle Obama delivered one of the most memorable lines of the Democratic convention Tuesday night when she suggested Trump might be seeking a “Black job” in running against Harris for the White House.
After Michelle Obama left the stage, former President Obama arrived to bash Trump over his “weird obsession with crowd sizes,” adding a hand gesture that implied he was mocking Trump’s manhood.
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.

The more I see of Tim Walz, the more I realize he’s just a fatter, whiter version of Kamala. They both laugh at inappropriate times. They both say weird things. They both yearn for a communist America. They’re both on the wrong side of the IQ bell curve. If we lived in a society that encouraged talented people to run for political office, Tweedle-Kam and Tweedle-Tim would not be known. Because our political system excels at promoting mediocre minds attached to lost souls, the Democrat Party gives us a babbling baboon and a cackling hyena for veep and president.
President Donald Trump made a triumphant return to the campaign trail in Asheboro, North Carolina, holding his first outdoor rally since the assassination attempt against him one month ago.

By now, it’s just a way to troll conservatives. It’s now become an exercise to stick it to Republicans for pointing out rightly that Gov. Tim Walz lied about his military record. Multiple videos and newspaper articles from national and local publications show that Walz lied about his service. No one is admonishing him for deciding to serve in the National Guard for 24 years. That’s a fact, but he never deployed overseas, never saw combat in Afghanistan, and thought that Bagram Air Base was in Iraq. Walz’s time in uniform is not in question, but what he did after he left to bolster his public service career is
Wednesday marks the third night of the highly dysfunctional Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, Illinois, and Democrats are scrambling to figure out how to execute convention logistics properly. The first two nights, they pushed their current and former presidents of the United States past primetime — neither Joe Biden nor Barack Obama took the stage before 11:00 p.m. on the East Coast — and Democrats struggled to find any coherent message at all. (Video) The Democrats have spent the first two days griping about former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee for the third straight election, whipping out as many ludicrous insults as they can.
When Americans listen to Kamala Harris’ acceptance speech tonight, they need to tune out the thrill-up-the-leg praise from the media and the audience’s stream of verbal bouquets and ask themselves one question: Are they better off today than they were four years ago. For all but a few, the answer would be resounding “no.”
In the only debate between President Jimmy Carter and challenger Ronald Reagan in the 1980 campaign, just days before the election, Reagan asked what the Harvard John F. Kennedy School of Government called “one of the most important campaign questions of all time:
“Are you better off today than you were four years ago?”
It’s infuriating that House Republicans waited so long to release their devastating report that President Biden committed impeachable offenses when he “actively participated” in a foreign influence-peddling conspiracy to enrich his family and then defrauded the American voter by lying about his abuse of office.
Even more infuriating is that Biden will not be held accountable by Congress for his malfeasance.
It’s hard to find a clearer-cut case for impeachment than selling access to the White House to foreigners, including the Chinese Communist Party, for tens of millions of dollars.
My bingo card didn’t have the Democrat Governor of Kentucky going to the Democrat National Convention and suggesting that somebody rape someone in JD Vance’s family, but you know, maybe it should have. Here’s an ugly reality that we have to accept. The elite of the Democrat Party hates us. It doesn’t just dislike us. It doesn’t find us merely annoying and tiresome. It certainly doesn’t want to live and let live. It wants to rule and let us die. There is not a single bad thing that they wouldn’t wish upon you. We know because they keep telling us.
That sure sounds harsh. So does suggesting that a member
If a person was forced to pick one word to describe the third night of the Democratic National Committee it would probably be “exhausting.”
It was nearly 11 pm, three hours into the prime-time portion of the day, when our monotonous Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg finally hit the DNC stage. Now, I’m not a professional political advisor, but one highly doubts that voters — most of whom would be waking up for work on Thursday – were clamoring to hear from the bungling head of the least important bureaucracy in the country.

[…] “The Bureau of Labor Statistics revised down its total tally of jobs created in the year through March by 818,000 as part of its preliminary annual benchmark review of payroll data. That suggests the economy added an average of 174,000 jobs per month during that time period — below the previous 242,000 estimate. On a monthly basis, that amounts to about 68,000 fewer jobs. It marks the largest downward revision since 2009.” (read more)

He had urged that more money should go into the Hamas territory and argued that Israel should allow in workers from Gaza. "You used to have 25,000, 100,000 Gazans working inside Israel. That needs to happen again." That led to Oct 7.

During a pre-trial hearing in Hunter Biden’s federal tax evasion case Wednesday, defense attorney Mark Geragos revealed his team’s unsurprising strategy and prosecutors laid out some details of the evidence they plan to introduce during the trial, which is scheduled to begin September 5 in Los Angeles. Attorneys for both sides argued their motions in limine, which are "motions that seek the exclusion of specific evidence or arguments from being presented during a trial."
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz reportedly pioneered the "weird" taunt against JD Vance. That's increasingly looking like an acute manifestation of projection. As we learn more about the wave of lies and distortions promulgated by Walz, another word that comes to mind is 'pathological.' The Democrats may have just put one serial embellisher and fabricator out to pasture, in Joe Biden, but it seems they've added another one to their presidential ticket. Walz has exaggerated, distorted, and outright lied about his military service, including his final rank at retirement. He's been called on it for years, by military brethren up and down his chain of command.
There is an old saying that the best comedy has elements of truth, and one conservative entertainer named Alex Strenger provided one of the best examples of this while visiting the DNC Convention in Chicago.
Stenger, who also works as a Pedicab driver, is best known for trolling city council meetings in his hometown of Austin, Texas. But he likely saw an opportunity this week to expand his influence given the absolute chaos that is currently unfolding at the Convention and the low-IQ individuals assembling to cheer on Kamala Harris.
Bill Clinton joked that he didn't have many conventions left during his speech at the DNC Wednesday night, as many on social media said his voice and hands were shaky the entire time.
Clinton, 78, channeled some of the relief inside the Democratic National Convention hall Wednesday when he said a 'load's off our shoulders' while praising Kamala Harris and saluted President Joe Biden for dropping out.
However, many on social media noted with one of his remarks that Father Time may have finally caught up on the man from Hope, Arkansas.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology just admitted its first class since the Supreme Court decision which put an end to affirmative action. As expected, the number of minority students dropped.
The university’s admissions department on Wednesday released its first-year class profile, showing a sharp drop in its Black student population. About 5% of MIT’s incoming class of 2028 is Black, a significant drop from its 13% average in recent years. Latino students make up 11% of the class of 2028, compared to a 15% average in recent years. Overall, 1,102 students make up the incoming class...

There is a simple reason Kamala Harris won't discuss policy, and everybody on the left including the mainstream media are breathing a sign of relief.
It's pretty simple: the few policies she has released as a candidate have been ridiculously destructive, and the ones she has shut up about are going to be worse. Imagine what every billionaire donor thought when they heard that Harris is coming for their unrealized capital gains.
I think they started making plans to renounce their US citizenship and start investing in Argentina.
Best to shut up, just as it is best not to talk to anybody in the media. There is no upside
When your opponent defines your candidacy before you do, it’s the first blow in what’s likely going to be a losing campaign. Vice President Kamala Harris has refused to discuss policy for various reasons, not least because they’re all terrible. The first policy out of the gate was a bungled pitch to fix prices, whicThe fact that virtually none of these countries exist should indicate these programs' success. So, to fill this information void, the Trump campaign decided to release Kamala’s agenda, creating Kamala2024policies.com in an epic troll move (via Fox News): h has been tried in former soviet republics.
Third party presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will reportedly drop out of the 2024 race for the White House and potentially endorse former President Donald Trump. "Robert Kennedy Jr. is planning to drop out of the presidential race by the end of this week," ABC News reported Wednesday afternoon. "Sources say Kennedy is leaning toward endorsing former President Donald Trump, though the sources cautioned the decision is not yet finalized and could still change, with one source adding Kennedy's hope is in part to finalize things quickly in order to try to blunt momentum from the DNC."
Scott Jennings, the right leaning pundit at CNN, has quickly made a name for himself by repeatedly introducing his network colleagues to reality.
In one of his most recent viral moments, he called out his fellow panelists during the DNC by reminding them who has been in charge at the White House for 12 of the last 16 years.
How is everything Trump’s fault when he was only there for four of those 16 years?

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz bashed rival Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) for attending Yale — after Walz followed a long list of Yale- and Ivy-League-educated speakers at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, on Wednesday.
“I grew up in Butte, Nebraska. A town of 400 people,” Walz said, continuing: “I had 24 kids in my high school class. And none of them went to Yale.” Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president, has frequently attacked Vance, the Republican nominee for the position, as if he were an elitist for going to Yale, despite the fact that Vance grew up in poverty in rural America.
Politics ain't beanbag, they say. No, it can be quite a nasty business (which makes me question my fascination with it at times). Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his running mate Nicole Shanahan can attest to that, as Shanahan notes in a recent interview she gave to Tom Bilyeu on his "Impact Theory" podcast.
Rumors are swirling that Kennedy is about to bow out of the race — and he's now announced his intention to deliver an address Friday afternoon in Phoenix, Arizona.
Initially, there were rumors that RFK Jr. was in talks with both the Trump and Harris campaign,

Harris-Biden Team Is replies
One of the many problems of the Biden-Harris time in office is their refusal to accept reality on critical issues.
They denied inflation was happening. Then when it was undeniable, they blamed everyone else and refused to admit how their policies sparked it. They denied that the Afghanistan withdrawal was a disaster, then lied about not leaving until they got everyone out. They claimed until this January that the "border was secure"; then, they immediately flipped around and blamed Republicans after denying there was ever any issue.
It's a feature not a bug with Biden and Harris. But they just got nailed on another big whopper
