It's hard for me to believe that the Democrats might run Kamala Harris for president again after her campaign was such a disaster in 2024.
Not only did President Donald Trump clean her clock, even getting more of the popular vote, but he also beat her in all the swing states. Plus she spent and lost a ton of money in a futile cause, by some estimates, $1.5 billion over the course of an abbreviated campaign.
Polls have her up for 2028, though, so I'm all in for it. That should be great fun to watch her go down in flames again. It does sound like she's gearing up
On July 16, 1988, Florence Griffith-Joyner sprinted 100 meters in 10.49 seconds at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Indianapolis. Nearly four decades later, no woman has run faster, and her world record still stands.
Her 200-meter record, set at the Seoul Olympics later that year, has also stood for almost forty years.
Flo-Jo remains the fastest woman who has ever lived.
Yet her 100-meter record has repeatedly been surpassed by American high school boys.
The current U.S. high school boys’ record is 9.92 seconds, set in 2025 and more than half a second faster. Many boys have run faster than Flo-Jo’s legendary mark, and each year more join that list.

Michigan Democrat Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed hit the Sunday talk shows, including Meet the Press (MTP), to promote his campaign.
He's facing difficulties because of his far-left positions and his associations with extremists like Twitch streamer Hasan Piker. He's having difficulties with Democrats who supported Rep. Haley Stevens (MI-11) as well as the working class. MTP anchor Kristen Welker asked him about his closeness to the socialists and how he differed, for example. This was not a great response. I think he thinks he said he was defending capitalism, but it came out like he was attacking corporations anyway. What a jumble. Sure,
They never learn. And they never stop hating you.
In a move that proves once again that the D.C. Establishment is completely terrified of the America First agenda, RINO Senator John Thune, Mitch McConnell’s hand-picked Swamp successor, has just pulled one of the most underhanded, backstabbing maneuvers in Senate history.
Instead of doing the work of the American people, “Useless” John Thune is sending the United States Senate home for a massive, unearned 37-DAY VACATION.
But it gets worse. Much worse. Thune isn’t just going on vacation. He is purposely scheduling 11 fake, “pro forma” sessions during the break.

Bankhead’s Family to Push Her Out of
Montana Senate Race replies
Establishment Democrats have reportedly been pressuring the family of Alani Bankhead in order to push her into dropping out of the Montana Senate race so independent Seth Bodnar can step in.“Independent Montana Senate candidate Seth Bodnar could withdraw from the state’s U.S. Senate race before the Aug. 10 filing deadline if Democrat nominee Alani Bankhead remains on the ballot,” said the report.
“Republican strategists and political operatives told Breitbart News that Bodnar’s campaign has struggled to gain traction despite spending by both the campaign and an allied super PAC,” it added.
Over the weekend, NPR noted that Democrats have—
Rush Limbaugh had a saying to explain how he would drive a point home about the left that perfectly applies to what we’re seeing in the WNBA today. He said that sometimes you have to illustrate the absurd through absurdity.
In other words, you have to take the left’s premise to its ultimate conclusion to more fully see just how messed up it is.
That would be a perfect description of how the WNBA is totally blowing its current men-in-women's-sports crisis.
My colleagues David Manney and Robert Spencer both wrote separate stories about this trend, which is getting increasingly absurd: We now have former NBA stars declaring their intent
The grocery receipt is where inflation arrives. It is not where inflation begins, and any politician who tells you otherwise is either innumerate or lying.
For millions of Americans, the economic debate has been reduced to terms even Washington cannot obfuscate: the price of food, the mortgage nobody can qualify for, the insurance premium that arrives like a subpoena. The distance between a paycheck and the obligations waiting for it has been shrinking for four straight years while the people responsible insisted everything was fine.
It was not fine. The reason has a name, a date, and a price tag, all of which the last administration would prefer you forget.
After last Tuesday's primary contest in Michigan, where Marxist/Islamist candidate Abdul El-Sayed won the Democrat nomination for U.S. Senate, there was much prognostication. It was a race barely won, and if it had not been for a third candidate, who had since dropped out, El-Sayed would probably not have been successful. It was certainly not the supposed blowout that everyone had predicted for the Democratic Socialists (Marxists) of America-supported candidate. However, the real story behind that race, which has been a consistent theme, is that black Democrat voters do not want to be the "useful idiots"
Clean up in aisle 4! Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed just made a mess in an interview with Kristen Welker on NBC’s Meet the Press, and let’s just say his handlers have some fixing to do.
One of El-Sayed’s signature issues is “Medicare for All.” It’s an issue that El-Sayed loves to mention but doesn’t like to talk about in detail. One reason is that it’s not good for sound bites. Once you get into the details of Medicare, it gets complex, bureaucratic, and boring. None of those things work well in media interviews.
But there are other reasons he’d rather not talk at length
Sports Illustrated Blasted for ‘Karma’
Headline Suggesting Sophie Cunningham
Deserved Flagrant Foul replies
Headline Suggesting Sophie Cunningham
Deserved Flagrant Foul replies
One of the nation’s top sports chronicles, Sports Illustrated, is under fire for pushing out a headline insisting that WNBA star Sophie Cunningham deserved to be bashed in the face on the court because of her support of women-only sports.
The outrageous SI headline came after Cunningham suffered a fragrant clothesline foul on Saturday, when Chicago Sky player DiJonai Carrington smacked Cunningham in the face while attempting to block Cunningham’s shot.
Carrington was handed a flagrant 2 foul for sending the Indiana Fever’s Cunningham smashing to the floor during her successful layup in the first quarter of Saturday’s game.
On Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Michigan Democratic Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed said President Donald Trump is an “overlord,” with a marriage on a “rocky road.”
Host Jake Tapper said, “Speaking of President Trump, last night he posted on social media a photograph of him and First Lady Melania Trump in formal attire. Next to a photograph of you and your and your wife. You appear to be in a in a restaurant booth or something. Your wife is a psychiatrist. She’s wearing a hijab. The caption was two very different Americans. What was your response when you saw that?”
El-Sayed said, “Yeah, he’s right. One in which your overlords
When Abdul El-Sayed defeated “moderate” Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) to claim the Democratic nomination for the Senate in Michigan, far left members of the party and their allies in the corporate news media responded with unabashed elation. It is by no means clear, however, that these people understand the significance of El-Sayed’s narrow victory. This primary was just the latest manifestation of the collaboration between neo-Marxist progressives and radical Islamists. This affiliation is neither incidental nor harmless. These extremist groups share two common objectives—the destruction of Israel and the corruption of Western democracies.
Extreme leftists and white, female, overeducated, urban communists have one primary prism: how Obama-ish is their candidate?
Both El-Sayed and Barack Obama are supported by the Muslim Brotherhood directly. Both El-Sayed and Barack Obama campaigned for Senate in the mid-term election (BO ’06, ES ’26), and both Barack Obama and El-Sayed planned to run for higher office in 2nd year of their freshman term as senator.
The media now begin their fawning endeavor as the Muslim Brotherhood backed Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed tries to moderate himself in the image of Barack Hussein Obama. I find it a little revealing that El-Sayed’s wife is a doctor who refuses to treat Medicare and Medicaid
Maine has a long history of being pro-gun, at least up until recent years. Sure, it's been a blue state for a very long time, but the outdoor heritage coupled with low crime helped stave off the anti-gun push for generations. It wasn't until Lewiston that everything changed there, which is a shame. But not everyone is thrilled with gun control, and in the race for the Second Congressional District, candidates from both parties are claiming to be the champion for gun rights.
There are reasons to doubt one of them, though.
LePage, who signed permitless carry into law when he was Maine's governor,
Israeli PM also vows no Palestinian state in Gaza or West Bank while he is in office
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday firmly rejected a 15-point plan for Gaza put forward by President Donald Trump's Board of Peace, declaring that the Israeli military will not make “any withdrawal” from Palestinian territory until Hamas is completely and genuinely disarmed.
Speaking at a cabinet meeting, Netanyahu made Israel's position crystal clear: "Israel rejects the 15-point Gaza document proposed by the Board of Peace. The IDF will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed."
With all the trillions of dollars that America’s government wastes on welfare recipients, illegal aliens, Muslim dictatorships, endless litigation with woke judges, aid to hostile nations, and more, the idea that we’re broke over the money and equipment we send to Israel in exchange for invaluable military assistance is laughable. We should cut off Ukraine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Gaza, and many other nations, but not Israel, which is our best ally. Indeed, antisemitism is the only possible explanation for wanting to gut our money to Israel. Joe Biden alone lavished $14 billion of American taxpayers’ money on Islamist groups and governments,
I did not know this until I saw it mentioned on X (formerly Twitter). When a company hires J1 student temporary or season employees, they do not have to pay the 7.5% FICA or Social Security tax on the wages.
If a company hires a seasonal American student, they have to pay the 7.5%. If the company hires a foreign student, they don’t. This creates a perverse incentive for private equity firms, companies or corporations to hire foreign seasonal workers. This is true, I checked it out. Apparently, this is now the common approach within the hospitality industry to save money and increase profit from payrolls. Unfortunately,
Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, said Sunday he has spoken with Barack Obama and hopes the former president campaigns with him as the party tries to unite after a bitter primary that exposed deep rifts between its progressive and moderate wings.
El-Sayed said his Friday conversation with Obama was “really warm and inspiring.” The candidate did not provide details.
“I was grateful for his advice. It was very warm, very inviting, and I know that he knows the critical role that Michigan is going to play,” El-Sayed told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Asked if he would like to see Obama come —
Whatever in the world possessed Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger's staff to think this was a good idea? For some inexplicable reason, they scheduled the Democrat to appear at a Saturday fiddlers convention in rural southwest Virginia.
Needless to say, this was not her crowd, and they let her know it.
The setting was Galax, Virginia, a small independent city in the Blue Ridge Highlands of Southwest Virginia, located very close to the North Carolina line. It's been called the “gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains," and its identity has deep ties to old-timey Appalachian bluegrass music.
The more you see and hear from Abdul El-Sayed, the socialist-aligned radical who just won the Democrat Party's Senate primary in Michigan, the more it seems like he's better suited to be a bomb-throwing keyboard warrior or a podcast bro who excels at raging into a microphone. It certainly seems like he's auditioning for one of these roles instead of the sober, serious job of being a United States senator. Then again, no one has accused the Democrat Party of being sober or serious in a very long time.
El-Sayed had Vice President JD Vance in his sights during a recent interview with MS NOW. In it,
Blaming the Jews is the easiest game in town.
Professor Gad Saad has publicly announced his move from Canada to the United States to teach at Ole Miss. He has pointed out that his exit tax is very high and he is leaving behind a country in which he and his family have lived for decades. He has also made it clear that Canada will no longer support its Jews. He recently posted on X that Canadian politicians perform some simple math and realize that there are more Jew haters than Jews, so it’s in their interest to abandon the Jews to their fate and keep their electoral prospects alive.
“Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has started the process of freezing her eggs — and is using a vlog on Instagram to give her lefty fans mundane updates such as her taking hormonal injections.
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), 36, revealed in a weekend post that she had been saving up for and contemplating the procedure for some time — hailing herself as a “badass” for taking on what tens of thousands of women have already gone through.
She said she felt “empowered” to start that process now while Congress is on its August recess.
WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert has sent a memo to teams that addresses ongoing discussions around transgender athletes in women’s basketball.
“I know many of you have received questions in recent weeks regarding transgender athlete participation in women’s basketball, and I expect this topic will continue to receive significant attention,” Engelbert wrote in the memo, which was sent Friday and obtained by The Associated Press. “I wanted to reach out to share how we are approaching these conversations at the league office and to thank those of you who have responded to questions from the media with thoughtfulness and professionalism
