FIU football coach Mike MacIntyre also released a statement on Knox’s death.
Six men sledge hammered and spray painted a beloved Gandhi statue outside a Hindu temple in Queens—the second attack in less than two weeks, police and temple officials said Thursday. The latest vandalization—the first was early Aug. 3—occurred Tuesday around 1:30 p.m., when six miscreants went after the statue in front of Tulsi Mandir on 111th St. near 103rd Ave. in Richmond Hill, police said. The incident is being investigated as a possible hate crime, police said Thursday.(Snip)Surveillance footage obtained by the Daily News shows the vandals taking turns whacking the upright statue with a sledgehammer until it crashes face-first onto the pavement.
A Yellowstone National Park employee found what appears to be a partial human foot in a hot spring this week, park officials said. The foot was still inside a shoe floating in the Abyss Pool, which is near the West Thumb Geyser Basin, Morgan Warthin, a public affairs officer for Yellowstone National Park, said in a statement. An investigation has been underway since the foot was found Tuesday. No additional details were available Thursday afternoon. The Abyss Pool, in the southern area of the national park in Wyoming, is a 53-foot-deep hot spring, one of the deepest at Yellowstone.
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo fired back at Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) after Kinzinger sent a tweet, blaming former President Donald Trump and Pompeo for the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. (snip) Pompeo responded to Kinzinger’s claim, tweeting:
“Adam Kinzinger repeatedly asked me for job in Trump Admin (Air Force Sec, Amb), and for wife. Now attacks our Afghan plan that saw no US fatalities/no Taliban takeover/no Americans left behind. Adam, I enjoyed our work in Congress. What’s happened to you? YOU should know better.”
Another 1.8million doses of the monkeypox vaccine will be rolled out from next week, health chiefs announced Thursday as officials prepare to roll out jabs at large LGBT events and U.S. cases hit 13,517. The latest delivery of the shots—equivalent to 360,000 five-dose vials—was revealed by White House monkeypox response leader Dr Robert Fenton at a press conference.(Snip)He also revealed the plans for pop-up vaccination clinics at large LGBT events including Black Pride in Atlanta, Georgia, and Southern Decadence in New Orleans, Louisiana, to ensure they could get jabs to people who may otherwise not get a shot. The events are set to attract 120,000
Parents, alumnae and donors of an elite all-girls school in Tennessee are calling for the resignation of those involved with implementing, then pausing, a policy which would allow biological males who identify as female to apply to the school.
"We are writing to you today as an expression of a belief that the Harpeth Hall Board of Trust and the school administration has been more focused on political activism than on educating our girls," the letter, obtained by Fox News Digital, said. "Current events are simply a symptom of that activism."
Retired Gen. Michael Hayden, who directed the CIA and the NSA during his career but has since become a partisan clown,CNN talking head, and member of the advisory board for establishment media watchdog NewsGuard, recently agreed that even compared to other movements around the world, Republicans are the most “nihilistic, dangerous, and contemptible.”
This allegation means that in Hayden’s worldview, Republicans outrank Al Qaeda, ISIS, and the Chinese Communist Party among others in terms of their danger to the world.
Gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson's CEO Mark Smith has sparked a heated back and forth with lawmakers after refusing to testify at a House Oversight committee hearing on assault weapons.
Smith said in a statement Monday that his company would 'never back down in our defense of the Second Amendment' and blamed politicians and the media for a recent spate in mass shootings.

You couldn’t find a better symbol of President Joe Biden’s border policy than the insane video of federal border agents literally opening the gates to a stream of illegal migrants. But the numbers tell the same story.
The latest release of data from Customs and Border Patrol shows nearly 1.81 million arrests of illegal migrants at the southern border through July. That’s more than for all of last year — itself a grim record at 1.66 million — with months left in 2022; the year is well on pace to break the 2 million mark.
And most of those “arrested” are soon let loose inside the country, even though
A convicted sex offender who allegedly cold-cocked a man on a Bronx street — leaving him in a coma with brain injuries — was freed without bail Thursday after getting his attempted-murder charges reduced in the unprovoked attack.(Photos) Bui Van Phu, 55, was instead charged by the Bronx District Attorney’s Office with assault and harassment, both misdemeanors, for the brutal knockout punch last Friday that left 52-year-old Jesus Cortes unconscious on the street, according to a criminal complaint.

The IRS’ “Adrian Project,” a Bush-era recruitment program directed at high school and college students, is coming to light as the “Inflation Reduction Act” doles out $80 billion to the agency to increase staff and hire criminal investigative agents. (Video) Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) blasted the IRS for hiring more agents who will be armed and empowered to conduct criminal investigations and arrests. He shared a clip from the IRSCI “Adrian Project” at Dixie State University (DSU) conducted in April of 2022.

A federal magistrate judge in Florida will hold a hearing Thursday afternoon weighing whether to unseal the warrant used to raid Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate last week as the former president denies reports he is 'scrambling' to find lawyers to represent him.
Trump has said wants the document unsealed while attorneys for some of the biggest media companies will make the case for Magistrate Judge Bruce E. Reinhart to make public the probable cause affidavit.
Yikes! When you look at progressive values like this? HA HA HA HA HA HA
We first heard about Citizens for Sanity when Politico was complaining about this conservative group doing what progressive groups have been doing for years. Apparently, it’s not fair to form a group right before elections to help one side win … if you’re a conservative.
They get especially crabby when the group is hilariously effective.
Like Citizens for Sanity.

As Joe Biden’s polls stagnate and the midterms approach, we are now serially treated to yet another progressive melodrama about the dangers of a supposed impending radical right-wing violent takeover.
This time the alleged threat is a Neanderthal desire for a “civil war.”
The FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Florida home, the dubious rationale for such a historic swoop, and the popular pushback at the FBI and Department of Justice from roughly half the country have further fueled these giddy “civil war” conjectures.
Recently “presidential historian” Michael Beschloss speculated about the parameters of such an envisioned civil war.
Beschloss is an ironic source. Just days earlier, he had tweeted references
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Thursday that 20 people across his state have been charged with voter fraud.
The governor did not say in what election they had voted but said they had come from Broward, Palm Beach and Miami Dade counties and had been arrested for voting 'because they were convicted of murder or sexual assault.'
Floridians passed a constitutional amendment restoring felons' voting rights after they've after they've served their sentences and paid all fines, fees and restitution, but those convicted of a sex offense or murder are banned from voting forever unless
For weeks infectious disease experts told the public monkeypox is largely transmitted by skin-to-skin contact.
However, health experts now believe monkeypox is spread through anal and oral sex between men.
NBC reported:
Since the outset of the global monkeypox outbreak in May, public health and infectious disease experts have told the public that the virus is largely transmitting through skin-to-skin contact, in particular during sex between men.
More than half of Americans believe that the situation at the southern border amounts to an 'invasion' while another third of respondents in a new poll expressed worry over being replaced by illegal immigrants.
The new NPR/Ipsos poll released Thursday shows an overall decline in support for immigration as new images emerge every day of hundreds to thousands of migrants crossing illegally over the southern border.
Aerial video from the southern border on Thursday shared by Fox News showed yet another large group, this time of approximately 150 mostly single adults, arriving in Eagle Pass, Texas after illegally traversing the Rio Grande River from Mexico.
Disgraced former FBI agent Peter Strzok is evidently still screaming Russia, Russia, Russia! while trying to push a new garbage conspiracy theory questioning why former President Trump has two passports. (Video) Not willing to let go of the now-debunked conspiracy theory that former President Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election, Strzok sought to outrageously defend the FBI seizing Trump’s passports in the thuggish raid on Mar-a-Lago alluding to that pretext once again. The FBI eventually returned the passports to Trump.
The Democrat strategist behind Bill Clinton's successful 1992 presidential campaign said Wednesday that the FBI's unannounced search of Donald Trump's property is 'the biggest story since' the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
'Ragin' Cajun' James Carville predicted that the raid of Mar-a-Lago would become a 'very tricky' issue for Republican lawmakers if the Justice Department's investigation of Trump uncovers illegal acts.
'The problem the Republican Party has is, they got really stupid people that vote in their primaries,' Carville told The Hill TV. 'Really stupid people demand to have really stupid leaders.
In discussing the Hunter Biden investigation with The Federalist, Bill Barr, most recently Donald Trump's attorney general, said:
Intervening events, especially recent reports about FBI whistleblowers and the possible reach of the investigation, warrant adding the protections of special counsel status to assure that key decisions are made independently without political favor.
Wow! Talk about an inflated sense of his own authority. Barr exerted only minimal influence over the DOJ when he was in charge. Does he really believe they care what he thinks now?
We sure dodged a bullet.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) reportedly told U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart Thursday that it wants the affidavit that authorized a search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home sealed for fear he will destroy documents.
The report, by Mark Meredith of Fox News, came as Reinhart indicated that he was prepared to release portions of the affidavit, giving the DOJ one week to prepare redactions to the text. Meredith (via legal scholar Jonathan Turley) reported: (Tweet) As Turley noted, however, the DOJ’s argument, if delivered as reported, was odd, because it placed less emphasis on protecting confidential informants (CI’s) and other aspects of the ongoing investigation.
The teaser for upcoming film My Son Hunter previews a 'true story' of the 'scandal' and 'corruption' plaguing the Biden family, specifically President Joe Biden's son Hunter.
My Son Hunter, which will be distributed by right wing outlet Breitbart News, is set for release September 7 – just two months before the 2022 midterm elections.
The 23-second teaser video, exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, shows quick clips of Laurence Fox of the British show Lewis, who plays Hunter, and Dynasty's John James, who plays President Biden.
The concept of “Trump Derangement Syndrom” may have started as a joke to describe the over-reaction of hatred toward Trump, but after years of people upending good sense and their own principles in order to get at this man, I’m pretty convinced it’s real and that scientists need to study this in the future.
I see it every single day and as we drift closer and closer to the 2024 presidential election, I have a feeling we’re going to see it even more and in big ways.
Right now, the most popular example of it comes from Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, who just lost her reelection campaign by 37 points.
A federal judge on Thursday told the Justice Department to prepare a redacted version of the affidavit that undergirded the FBI's raid on Mar-a-Lago – opening the door to more public information on the probe that preceded the move.
US Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, who signed off on search warrant for the August 8 raid, put off a final decision on whether to put out the document, which media outlets and allies of President Donald Trump were seeking following the extraordinary raid.

She said they should wait until the legal process unfolds before commenting further on the situation. About 100 people spoke at the meeting that was open to the public. Most speakers called for DeGise to resign. Only a few expressed support. "When the legal process in traffic court is finished, I will
The portly and least qualified Regime mouthpiece to arguably ever host his own show has finally been canned from the cratering cable news network CNN.

A Republican could replace liberal Gov. Kate Brown (D-OR), as University of Virginia Center for Politics Sabato’s Crystal Ball has moved the race from “Lean Democratic” to “Toss-Up.” Former Democratic state House Speaker Tina Kotek is running against former Republican State House Minority Leader Christine Drazan, who announced a seven-figure ad buy on Wednesday, Fox News reported. There is also a strong independent candidate, former Democratic state Sen. Betsy Johnson, who the University of Virginia Center for Politics describes as “more conservative” than many of her former party members.
Following the FBI raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, he has received millions of dollars from his supporters. Trump has been sending out emails, capitalizing on the FBI raid by asking supporters to donate to his political action committee. According to the Washington Post, following the FBI raid, the donations to Trump’s action committee surpassed $1 million on at least two days.
Eric Wilson, a Republican strategist, said:
“If you’re not talking about Mar-a-Lago in your fundraising you’re swimming against the current … For Trump, it’s been difficult for the last several months because he has not been in the spotlight so much
Dr. Mehmet Oz, who earned former President Donald Trump’s primary-race endorsement in April, is going down in flames according to a new GOP poll.
Republican-affiliated Public Opinion Strategies reports that surgeon-turned-TV-host Dr. Oz trails Democrat John Fetterman by nearly 20 points. Trump gave Oz his “complete and total endorsement” before the wide-open GOP primary of six candidates, a move that probably sealed the deal with Pennsylvania Republicans.
The doc won in a squeaker, barely beating out second-place finisher David McCormick, 31.2% to 31.1%.
The former president praised Oz’s positions on abortion, crime, the Second Amendment, border security, the military, education, energy independence
Enthusiasm for voting in this year’s midterm election has grown by six points after the FBI raided the Mar-a-Lago, the home of former President Donald Trump, according to two recent YouGov polls.
When 1500 adult U.S. citizens were asked from August 13 to 16 if they were more or less enthusiastic about voting in this year’s election compared to the previous congressional election year, 51 percent of Republicans said they were more enthusiastic. This is an increase of six points in enthusiasm since the YouGov poll from August 7 to 9. The August 7 to 9 poll showed only 45 percent were more enthusiastic about voting in this year’s election than in the previous congressional election year.
CNN has cancelled Brian Stelter's Sunday show after new boss Chris Licht vowed to clean up the network, according to Yashar Ali.
Chief media correspondent and Reliable Sources Host is the first casualty of the network after Licht took over in early 2022.

The Aug. 8 search of former President Donald Trump’s home and the unprecedented criminal investigation into his possession of White House documents all began with David Ferriero, the now-retired national archivist who alerted the Justice Department after finding classified information in boxes he retrieved from Mar-a-Lago.
Critics say Mr. Ferriero is a partisan who changed the rules to help excuse Secretary of State Hillary Clinton when she was under scrutiny for mishandling classified documents on her private, unsecured email server.
They also say the raid and criminal probe are just another politically motivated scheme to take down Mr. Trump, who remains popular among many voters and is

The Biden administration said Thursday it will try to super-charge its monkeypox response by making an additional 1.8 million doses of the Jynneos vaccine available to states, starting Monday, and setting aside tens of thousands of doses for places that are hosting gay pride events.(Snip) “We are working to meet demand wherever we may find it,” White House monkeypox coordinator Robert Fenton said.
Mr. Fenton said states will be able to request federal assistance if they need help administering the vaccines. “More shots in arms is how we get the outbreak under control,” he said.

Two months ago Thursday, President Joe Biden fell off his bicycle, spurring plenty of rude derision online.

It’s probably no coincidence Biden is showcasing his sunglasses “in the wake of another great aviator re-emergence and success story, that of Tom Cruise in ‘Top Gun: Maverick,'”

Isn’t it funny how the folks telling us not to criticize the FBI because it will cause violence have no problem using the same type of heated rhetoric against conservatives? It might be a bit funny – but it is not surprising. This is politics, after all, and progressives are feeling particularly hypocritical at the moment.
Enter Edward Luce, associate editor at the Financial Times, who posted a rather braindead tweet about the GOP. He wrote:

Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee have released their report on the U.S. military's final, problematic withdrawal last summer from Afghanistan that concludes no senior Biden administration officials have been "held accountable" for the "tragic" departure and warns the county has again become a safe haven for terrorists.
"The choices made in the corridors of power in D.C. led to tragic yet avoidable outcomes: 13 dead service members, American lives still at great risk, increased threats to our homeland security, tarnished standing abroad for years to come, and emboldened enemies across the globe," read the 115-page interim report titled “‘A Strategic Failure’: Assessing the Administration’s Afghanistan Withdrawal.”

In the latest example of historical revisionism being used to erase women by the woke LGBTQ+ movement, a scholar has claimed that Queen Elizabeth I of England was “non-binary”.
Along with the announcement from Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre that they have cast St Joan of Arc as a “gender-neutral” character in an upcoming play, Dr Kit Heyam penned a blog post for the theatre’s website earlier this month defending why “it was necessary” to use modern gender theory when looking at the past.

According to a new report, Liz Cheney received a call from Joe Biden after she lost her primary race in Wyoming.
It is unknown at this time what was said on the call.(Tweet) Bloomberg reported:
Biden reached out to Cheney, who earned the ire of the former president when she voted to impeach him over his role in the January 6, 2021 insurrection and her subsequent work on the congressional committee investigating the matter, according to a person familiar with the conversation.
Abe Lincoln, the country lawyer, was well known in his younger days for defending the criminally accused. He said that every defendant, no matter the circumstances, deserved a defense. Not so much with Liz Cheney. During the over-produced J6 hearings (that had everything save for an ominous soundtrack), there was one glaring and obvious omission. Only one side presented a case. I assure you, I would have won every trial I tried if I was the only person presenting evidence (those are called default hearings). During the J6 hearings, Cheney went whole hog for one side. She lied with the best of committee members,
Mike Pence is currently in New Hampshire entertaining his delusions of grandeur. The former vice president is convinced that he can run as “another way” in 2024, defeating Trump and ushering in a new era of establishment rule.

As my reaction piece noted, it was the surest sign yet that Pence is a man who simply doesn’t know what time it is.
Tucker Carlson had the same assessment while speaking to Laura Ingraham on Wednesday evening.
President Joe Biden signed the inappropriately named “Inflation Reduction Act” last Friday. Aside from the fact that even non-partisan analyses show the bill will have a negligible impact on actual inflation, one specific provision is raising red flags. In the plan, the Internal Revenue Service gets a fresh $80 billion in funding, with $45.6 billion of that slated for “enforcement” measures. This will involve the hiring of more than 87,000 new IRS agents. If past is prologue, it’s reasonable to expect this spells bad news for lower-income Americans.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates this new investment in the IRS will generate
Former President Donald Trump is considering releasing the footage he has of the FBI raiding his home, according to reports.
CNN cited anonymous Trump “allies” and people “close to Trump” who encouraged the president to release the footage.
Speculation about what Trump will do with the footage of the FBI continues to build.
The former president confirmed on social media the FBI demanded all of the security cameras be turned off during the raid, but they did not stay off.
“What is that all about?” He asked. “We said no!”
The form president’s son Eric Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday that they would release the footage, “At the right time.”
I know I am not alone in saying that Tucker Carlson’s monologues should be mandatory viewing for anyone invested in personal liberties and the future outcomes of this once-great nation. Few with Tucker’s charisma, intelligence, insights, and eloquence are able to pull the curtain down on the Regime so effectively in such short time.

sock drawer could impact Mar-a-Lago search dispute replies
When it comes to the National Archives, history has a funny way of repeating itself. And legal experts say a decade-old case over audio tapes that Bill Clinton once kept in his sock drawer may have significant impact over the FBI search of Melania Trump's closet and Donald Trump's personal office.
The case in question is titled Judicial Watch v. National Archives and Records Administration and it involved an effort by the conservative watchdog to compel the Archives to forcibly seize hours of audio recordings that Clinton made during his presidency with historian Taylor Branch.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham recently said Americans might be ready “to turn the page” on President Trump as he decides whether to run for president a third time.
Ingraham said the following during an appearance on Lisa Boothe’s podcast.

Since the outset of the global monkeypox outbreak in May, public health and infectious disease experts have told the public that the virus is largely transmitting through skin-to-skin contact, in particular during sex between men. Now, however, an expanding cadre of experts has come to believe that sex between men itself — both anal as well as oral intercourse — is likely the main driver of global monkeypox transmission. The skin contact that comes with sex, these experts say, is probably much less of a risk factor.
PHOENIX -- An effort by Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey to use shipping containers to close a 1,000-foot gap in the U.S.-Mexico border wall near Yuma suffered a brief setback when two stacked containers somehow toppled over.

As Congresswoman Liz Cheney was being decisively repudiated by the voters of Wyoming (66 percent to 29 percent is a repudiation), her smug Eastern establishment certainty of moral virtue remained intact.
However, in describing her situation with the words of Abraham Lincoln, she skewed the historic record. If Lincoln had only garnered 29 percent support in his 1858 U.S. Senate race against Stephen Douglas, he would never have been president.
Has the Border Patrol gone from a guardian of America's borders to a valet service for illegals?
Sure looks like it, given what Fox News's Bill Melugin and Adam Shaw observed in Eagle Pass, Texas, on Wednesday:
Border Patrol agents on Wednesday opened a gate that had previously been locked by members of the Texas National Guard, in order to allow a number of illegal immigrants deeper into the United States.
Fox News witnessed members of the guard close and lock the gate, which is situated on private property and had previously been open, to deny entry to migrants who had crossed illegally and were expecting to be allowed into the U.S.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, has been fielding whistleblower allegations against officials at the Justice Department and FBI since last November.
Breitbart News spoke with Jordan and his staff about the whistleblowers after multiple reports circulated this week that took comments Jordan made on the matter during a recent television appearance out of context.
Jordan said Sunday to Fox News’s Trey Gowdy that 14 whistleblowers from within the FBI had come forward to his office:
The FBI division overseeing the investigation of former President Trump's handling of classified material at his Mar-a-Lago residence is also a focus of Special Counsel John Durham's investigation of the bureau's alleged abuses of power and political bias during its years-long Russiagate probe of Trump. The FBI's nine-hour, 30-agent raid of the former president's Florida estate is part of a counter-intelligence case run out of Washington – not Miami, as has been widely reported – according to FBI case documents and sources with knowledge of the matter. The bureau's counterintelligence division led the 2016-2017 Russia "collusion" investigation of Trump, codenamed "Crossfire Hurricane."
As a result of western governments’ taking collective action under the auspices of a ‘climate change’ agenda, we are on the cusp of something happening with ramifications that no one has ever seen before.Western governments’, specifically western Europe, North America (U.S-Canada) and Australia/New Zealand, are intentionally trying to lower economic activity to meet the intentional drop in energy production. This is the core consequence of the Build Back Better agenda as promoted by the World Economic Forum.
It’s abundantly clear that former Vice President Mike Pence is going to run for president in 2024. He’s been putting in the leg work lately, with a scheduled trip to New Hampshire coming up. He’s also positioned himself as a Trump foil in the mid-term GOP primaries, taking a contrary position to the former president in several states, most recently in Arizona.
For my part, I think Pence’s pursuit is delusional. There is exactly one person in the GOP who would be palatable to Trump voters if Trump himself weren’t the nominee, and his name is Ron DeSantis.
In another sad loss due to the pandemic, the 9/11 Tribute Museum in New York City will close its doors Wednesday after a sharp drop in visitors made financial survival impossible.
To be clear, this is a separate gallery from the official 9/11 Museum that is on the site of the former Twin Towers:
To put it simply, the 9/11 Museum located on the memorial site is the “official” museum. The 9/11 Tribute Museum is run by the September 11 Families Association and focuses more on the personal experiences of those impacted by the attacks.
Nevertheless, it’s an important experience and its loss will be heavily felt.
It’s astonishing how, by the time we normal folk first hear of a new Globalist Socialist initiative, it turns out there’s already a significant amount of infrastructure in place. Take eating bugs, for example. Did you know that there are currently sizable cricket farms in many parts of the world, including Canada and the United States? Or that cricket flour is already used in some foods?
For example, Entomo Farms in Canada currently produces a weekly harvest of 50 million crickets, which it mills into 9,000 pounds of “protein.” The owners plan to triple production within a year. Some of the “cricket flour” goes into pet foods, while some
Today CDC Director Rochelle Walensky released a video to the agency’s 11,000 employees that was sharply critical of CDC’s covid performance:
Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on Wednesday delivered a sweeping rebuke of her agency’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, saying it had failed to respond quickly enough and needed to be overhauled.
“To be frank, we are responsible for some pretty dramatic, pretty public mistakes, from testing to data to communications,” she said in a video distributed to the agency’s roughly 11,000 employees.
Dr. Walensky said the C.D.C.’s future depended on whether it could absorb the lessons of the last few years,
New York Times economics columnist Paul Krugman just stepped on another rake by likening President Joe Biden’s insane $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act to Christmas.Biden signed his eco-utopia bill into law yesterday, which allocates $369 billion in taxpayer dollars to new climate spending. Right on cue, Krugman released a new op-ed slobbering how he “wrote back in that 2019 thread, ‘If we’re going to pass anything that helps avert [climate] catastrophe, it will have to be a Christmas tree.’”
Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said in an interview with The Hill TV that the “majority” of Republican voters are “stupid” and “evil.”
Discussing the brand of the Democratic Party, Carville said, “So much of what has happened to my party is we tend to get defined by some over-educated, totally doofus coastal elites that are out trying to write dictionaries or something unrelated to anybody’s life. And that kind of stuff has a tendency to be very sticky, to stick with people. It is not who the party is. They are a very small part of the Democratic Party.” He continued, “These people have the ability to irritate.
Elon Musk has warned Republicans to 'stay out of people's bedrooms' and be more supportive of migrants if they want to be electorally successful.
The 51-year-old billionaire was speaking on Tuesday night at a gathering of Republican donors, hosted by John Nau - chairman and CEO of Silver Eagle Beverages, one of the largest Anheuser-Busch distributors in the nation.
Musk was invited by Kevin McCarthy, the House minority leader, whose constituency encompasses the Bakersfield, California location of SpaceX.
Musk and McCarthy held what was billed as 'a fireside chat' for the audience, which took place close to where the state's sole US representative Liz Cheney was losing her seat
