to make gains in Florida

Democrats are seeking to put Republicans in Florida on defense over the issue of abortion. While winning the Sunshine State will be an uphill climb for Democrats, Vice President Harris’s campaign has increased its presence in Florida amid an effort to legalize the procedure in the state through a ballot initiative that will go before voters in November. The “Fighting for Reproductive Rights” bus tour launched Tuesday in Palm Beach, former President Trump’s hometown, and will feature Harris surrogates meeting with voters to discuss access to reproductive rights.

A 14-year-old student opened fire at a Georgia high school and killed four people on Wednesday, authorities said, sending students scrambling for shelter in their classrooms — and eventually to the football stadium — as officers swarmed the campus and parents raced to find out if their children were safe.
The dead were identified as two students and two teachers at Apalachee High School in Winder, about an hour’s drive from Atlanta. At least nine other people were taken to hospitals with injuries.
Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey said two school resource officers encountered the shooter within minutes after a report of shots fired went out.

Donald Trump shocked political observers last week when he appeared to change his position on legalizing marijuana.
But, it could become a political jackpot.
New surveys suggest voters in the “Blue Wall” states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania could be swayed by Trump’s “green” opinion on cannabis. The Ragnar Research Group polling of 1,000 likely voters between Aug. 18 and Aug. 21 shows broad support for cannabis legalization and very little political downside for Trump in embracing it.

X owner Elon Musk and former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed on social media that Vice President Kamala Harris would want to "shut down" X if it can’t be made to conform to government oversight. The two figures backing former President Trump shared a clip from an interview Harris had with CNN in 2019 after a Democratic presidential primary debate, where she blasted social media sites for "directly speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of oversight and regulation," something she said "has to stop."
"Translation: If they don't police content to conform to government-approved narratives, they will be shut down,"
Whistleblowers have told Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., that Secret Service personnel are "woefully unprepared" and given inadequate training to properly protect candidates – including former President Trump – in new claims regarding the assassination attempt against the Republican presidential nominee.
Hawley appeared on "Jesse Watters Primetime" Tuesday night to reveal whistleblowers' claims that when Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents were reassigned to work on the protective details, they were given a single two-hour webinar on Microsoft Teams.
The former high-ranking aide to Gov. Kathy Hochul and Andrew Cuomo accused of working as a Chinese agent reaped luxurious gifts and rewards from her clandestine double life, federal prosecutors said Tuesday.

The notoriously verbose Ted Cruz has gone largely silent on abortion, one of his favorite topics to legislate on and bloviate about, during his Senate re-election campaign in Texas – an ominous sign both for Cruz and the anti-abortion movement writ large.
Indeed, Texas representative Colin Allred has mounted an unusually strong campaign for Cruz’s Senate seat at a time when Texas has become ground zero in the grisly maternal health disaster unfolding across the country since the fall of Roe v Wade. As of the latest University of Houston poll, the race between Cruz and Allred is currently a dead heat,
A former New York state government official who worked for the former governor Andrew Cuomo and current governor, Kathy Hochul, was charged on Tuesday with acting as an undisclosed agent of the Chinese government, federal prosecutors revealed in a sprawling indictment.
Linda Sun, who held numerous posts in New York state government before rising to the rank of deputy chief of staff for Hochul, was arrested on Tuesday morning along with her husband, Chris Hu, at their $3.5m home on Long Island.
The pair pleaded not guilty to criminal charges before magistrate Judge Peggy Kuo in Brooklyn. Kuo ordered Sun released on $1.5m bond and Hu on $500,000 bond.
When it was clear that our liberties were going to be violated by public officials’ overreaction to the 2020 novel coronavirus outbreak, we considered encouraging Americans to engage in civil disobedience against the unlawful orders that were about to be issued. We regret that we did not write that editorial. We have no such hesitation in 2024, though.
When the COVID test positivity rate surged last month, surpassing the summer peaks of 2022 and 2023, a few voices insisted that we needed to go back to the asinine rules of 2020.

I&I/TIPP Poll 5 replies
Presidential candidate Kamala Harris still holds a slight lead over former President Donald Trump, but will it last after last week’s interview with CNN? Harris still enjoyed an edge with prospective voters as Labor Day approached, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll suggests, but it might not be sustainable as Trump consolidates his strength among swing-state voters.
In a head-to-head matchup, Harris holds a 48% to 45% advantage over Trump in the September I&I/TIPP Poll, with 1,386 registered voters answering the survey from Aug. 28-Aug. 30. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.8 percentage points.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered up to 30 officials to be executed over their alleged failure to prevent massive flooding and landslides in the summer that resulted in the deaths of some 4,000 people, according to South Korean media.
An official under Kim’s regime said between 20 and 30 leaders in North Korea had been charged with corruption and dereliction of duty, with the state sentencing them to capital punishment, TV Chosun reported.

WASHINGTON — Former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., on Wednesday endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president, the latest high-profile Republican endorsement for Democrats.
Cheney's comments took place during an appearance at Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy. “Because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I will be voting for Kamala Harris,” Cheney said in a video of remarks posted to X.
The former congresswoman said in her remarks that it is “crucially important”

Fani Willis’ daughter now has her own mugshot!
The daughter of embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was arrested in Georgia for driving with a suspended license.
According to The Daily Mail, 25-year-old Kinaya Willis was pulled over for driving while using a cell phone on August 24 in Tyrone, Georgia when officers realized she had a suspended license.
Kinaya Willis told the police officer that she was using her cell phone “due to her mother calling her related to her pregnancy.”

The daughter of Donald Trump nemesis Fani Willis poses glumly for her jail mugshot
For weeks, the presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris has argued that the battle for always-on microphones at next week’s debate with former President Donald Trump was so that she could show her prosecutorial chops.
Skeptics instead said she was hoping for a replay of the “I’m speaking” moments she had in the 2020 debate with then-Vice President Mike Pence when he interrupted to make a point, an event heralded in liberal media circles as a victory for the Democrat.
Now, Harris is admitting the skeptics were right.
Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) criticized former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) after she endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, noting that Cheney and Harris “get rich” while American children die in wars overseas.
While speaking to Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk in Arizona, Vance described Cheney as being a “person whose entire career has been about sending other people’s children to fight and die for her military conflicts.” Vance added that both Cheney and Harris “get rich” when the United States “loses wars instead of winning wars.”
Meanwhile at the Secret Service…
The Secret Service’s Office of Equity Diversity and Inclusion sent out an agency-wide request for agents to attend an all-expense paid trip to an LGBTQ+ “Out and Equal” Workplace Summit at Disney World in Orlando October 7-10.
This comes as the Secret Service is spread thin and struggling to meet demands. Things are so bad that the US military is being called in to supplement Secret Service personnel.
Senator Josh Hawley revealed that Homeland Security agents working Trump’s Butler rally received only “webinar” training beforehand.

After having written three articles today, I figured it was time for a bit of farcical comedy, brought to you by none other than MSNBC's race-hustler extraordinaire, Al Sharpton — with a more-than-able assist from the clownish network's other race-hustler extraordinaire, Joy Reid.
At issue for the Reverend was why some (white) people still support Donald Trump.
Before we begin, understand that these two geniuses are among the cream of the crop in the race-hustling industry.
Reid got the racist ball rolling by ragging on Lara Trump over her latest music video.
I love people who have a dream. I am not knocking her having a dream.

The youngest daughter of anti-Trump DA Fani Willis was just arrested in Tyrone, Georgia, late last month and is now facing criminal charges.
25-year-old Kinaya Imani Willis was booked into Fayette County Jail, about half an hour south of Atlanta, on August 24 for driving with a suspended license. (X) Local law enforcement pulled over the prosecutor's pregnant daughter after spotting the young woman on a cell phone while driving her 2010 Nissan Altima allegedly in violation of the Georgia Hands-Free Act, which prohibits all drivers from using a hand-held electronic device, even to talk over the phone, while operating a vehicle.
On Aug. 1, 2022, senior Justice Department and FBI officials gathered on the seventh floor of the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., for a historic meeting.
They exchanged pleasantries, shook hands, and took seats in Room 7427, the FBI general counsel’s conference room, a nondescript gathering place with a long rectangular table surrounded by no-frills office chairs. Each official wore a suit, mandatory attire on the storied floor that houses the office of the FBI director and his top advisers.
The senior DOJ officials had left their headquarters, an elegant mix of Classical and Art Deco architecture, and met their bureau colleagues across Pennsylvania Avenue in the FBI headquarters, a Brutalist structure
For all their pious claims to being the standard-bearers and guardians of national security since President Trump was elected in 2016, Democrats sure do have a lot of operatives getting picked up as spies for China.
The latest came out of the woodwork from New York Gov. Kathy Hochul's office.
According to the Associated Press:
A former New York state government official who worked for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and current Gov. Kathy Hochul was charged Tuesday with acting as an undisclosed agent of the Chinese government, federal prosecutors revealed in a sprawling indictment.
