Twitter, the social media platform that has boasted free speech protections since coming under the control of Elon Musk, has suspended the account of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò. On Saturday afternoon, word began to spread of the incident with followers demanding an explanation from owner Elon Musk and calling for reinstatement of the account. The account is labeled “suspended” and all posts hidden, an action which Viganò described to LifeSiteNews’ John-Henry Westen as “shameful.”(Snip)Comments left under posts regarding the suspension express dismay at the incident and call on Musk to investigate the reason behind it and reinstate the account.
The Democratic Party generally — and President Biden specifically — have a profound problem: At home and abroad, seemingly everyone is mad at the American president, with severe consequences for American influence around the world.
Domestically, despite cooling inflation, just 30% of Americans say they agree with Democrats’ economic policy, while 42% prefer the Republicans’ approach. With the economy consistently ranking as the most important issue for voters, Americans’ pessimism — coupled with Biden’s consistently low approval ratings on the economy — figures to be a considerable problem as he seeks a second term.
Moreover, Hispanic voters — a critical Democratic constituency — are angry at the perceived leftward shift
Former President Donald Trump will call on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) to “get back” to Florida and “do the job he was elected to do,” during his keynote address at the Turning Point Action Conference in West Palm Beach, Florida, according to prepared remarks obtained by Breitbart News.
“It is time for Ron DeSanctus to get back here and do the job he was elected to do—be the Governor of FLORIDA,” Trump’s prepared remarks say. “He’s got to get home and take care of business.” Trump will urge DeSantis to return to Florida to address the home and car insurance crisis affecting the state.
House Democrats are on a crusade to destroy the reputation of whistleblowers to save President Joe Biden and to run cover for those in the Justice Department and FBI who obstructed the investigation into the Bidens’ business dealings. But Republicans are starting to fight back.
Kash Patel, who served as chief of staff to the acting secretary of defense under President Trump and as the senior counsel for the House Intelligence Committee under then-Rep. Devin Nunes, launched the counteroffensive on Wednesday when his attorney filed an ethics complaint against Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., and simultaneously sent a referral to the Department of Justice.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was hospitalized Saturday and is undergoing evaluation after a medical incident at his home.
Netanyahu was undergoing medical tests at the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer. The details are still unclear, but sources told the Jerusalem Post that the 73-year-old prime minister had lost consciousness and fell, hitting his head. His office has said the issue appears to be dehydration. “He is in good condition and undergoing medical evaluation,” Netanyahu’s office said in a statement.
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol made a surprise visit to Ukraine on Saturday, offering support for the invaded country in its war with Russia while demonstrating his own nation’s cooperation with NATO.
Yoon’s office said he traveled to Ukraine with his wife, Kim Keon Hee, following trips to Lithuania for a NATO summit and to Poland. It’s his first visit since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
Yoon toured Bucha and Irpin, two small cities near Kyiv where bodies of civilians were found in the streets and mass graves after Russian troops retreated from the capital region last year.
DeSantis says Iowa governor is 'of course'

a possible VP pick, slams Trump for attacking her replies
The Florida governor and 2024 contender praised Kim Reynolds while campaigning in the early-voting state of Iowa. He called Trump's attacks on Reynolds "totally out of hand."Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Saturday he would consider Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds as a possible vice president pick.
DeSantis was quick to praise Reynolds throughout his two-day Iowa swing, drawing frequent comparisons between her leadership in Iowa and his tenure in Florida.
That's not a new strategy for the DeSantis campaign — but it took on new weight this weekend, as frontrunner Donald Trump on Monday attacked Reynolds for her decision to remain neutral in the caucuses.
Look, you can call it a mistake if you want — I have no doubt the fact-checkers are working overtime to make it clear it was a “gaffe” — but Kamala Harris did say it. I’m honestly not sure if it was a Freudian slip or just a case of saying the quiet part out loud. But during a speech on climate change on Friday, the nation’s historically unpopular vice president said we need to “reduce population.”
“When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breath clean air and drink clean water,” Harris said during her speech in Maryland.
More millennials think referring to a transgender person by the wrong pronouns should be a criminal offense than think it should be legal, according to new polling conducted exclusively for Newsweek. According to the survey by Redfield & Wilton Strategies, 44 percent of those aged 25-34 think "referring to someone by the wrong gender pronoun (he/him, she/her) should be a criminal offense," versus just 31 percent who disagree. The remainder "neither agree nor disagree" or "don't know."

Cornell West bashed President Joe Biden's history of supporting the 90s crime bill.
AP
Likely Green Party presidential candidate Cornel West ripped President Biden’s record on race issues, calling the Democrat’s history with black Americans nothing short of a “crime against humanity,” in an exclusive interview with The Post.
West, 70, accused Biden of spurring mass incarceration among minorities because of the tough-on-crime federal Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act Biden sponsored as a senator in 1994. The bill authorized the hiring of 100,000 new police officers and allocated $9.7 billion for prisons.
Two veterans of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ political operation are departing his presidential campaign to work with an outside group that will focus on boosting the Florida Republican in his race for the White House.
The departing individuals are Dave Abrams, who previously led and later advised DeSantis’ communications team, and Tucker Obenshain, who has aided DeSantis’ fundraising efforts. Abrams and Obenshain are husband and wife.
Radio host and author Charlamagne tha God slammed the inconclusive White House cocaine investigation during Friday’s The Breakfast Club radio show. “Let my people out of jail,” the show’s guest Chico Bean declared, pointing out the apparent hypocrisy of those involved in the federal government.
“The case remains unsolved. It is now closed,” The Breakfast Club co-host Tezlyn Figaro said. “The investigation has concluded with no forensic evidence or video. They’re not able to identify the responsible person. They said that this cocaine was in an area that did not have any video surveillance.”

A revised personal financial disclosure filing from former President Donald Trump made public Thursday offered new details about the roughly $1 billion that he appears to have earned in his post-presidential life, including lucrative speaking engagements by Trump and his wife, along with more specifics about his foreign business ventures.
Trump, who leads polls for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, was paid a total of $2 million for speaking at two Universal Peace Federation World Summits in Bedminster, New Jersey, and Palm Beach, Florida.
When Joe Biden became president, America was on a solid footing, inflation was under control, we were energy independent, the price of gasoline was under $2.00, and things in America were great.
Now most of that has been undone, and nothing is being done about it. This is like a nightmare in which you are terrified only to awake and be thankful it was only a dream.
But the present nightmare is no dream, and things are only getting worse in America.
Will someone please wake me from this nightmare?
While Trump was president, nearly 500 miles of wall were built and immigration was controlled.
Former President Donald Trump will deliver the final speech of the first day of the Turning Point Action Conference Saturday night, in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The conservative event is taking place from Saturday to Sunday in West Palm Beach, where many noteworthy and powerful conservatives are in attendance. Other confirmed speakers on the agenda include media personality Tucker Carlson, 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Steve Bannon, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and Miami Mayor and presidential hopeful Francis Suarez.
The conference is just one of several conferences that Turning Point USA holds throughout the year.
Aden Gilbert grew up watching war movies, fighting enemy combatants in video games and listening to his dad's Marine Corps stories. He considered following in his father's footsteps but changed his mind as he saw the country and its leadership heading in a direction antithetical to his values. "If we're prioritizing being woke, and we can't actually protect the majority of American people . . . what's the point of having a military?" Gilbert asked Fox News. "Is it really worth joining and putting our life on the line for ideologies that we don't agree with and that we don't want to necessarily protect?"
Fargo Police say Officer Jake Wallin was killed in the line of duty on Friday, July 14. The 23-year-old was sworn in to the Fargo Police Department less than 3 months ago. He is a military veteran who served in Afghanistan. When sworn in, Chief Dave Zibolski says Wallin wanted nothing more than to serve in a position with purpose and meaning, and to truly make a difference in this community. (snip) Zibolski says Fargo Police officers were investigating routine traffic accident on 25th Street and 9th Avenue South when the suspect, 37-year-old Mohamed Barakat, started firing at officers.
Senator Tim Scott was one of the original attendees at the first Sea Island confab that was assembled to evaluate the risk represented by candidate Donald Trump in the 2016 election. Republican political leadership, corporate officers, Wall Street hedge fund managers, Big Tech and a host of multinational interests attended the first meeting.
During that early 2016 meeting, the groundwork to oppose the America-First agenda was established. The entire group then continued to take action throughout 2016 and into the administration of President Trump to mitigate his attack upon the ‘one world order’ globalist alliance they supported. Every single member of that original meeting was against the America First
The nondescript white cardboard box sat in a darkened corner of the attic, forgotten for years. It was only when the box was opened that its gruesome contents were revealed. Neatly folded inside, still stained with the blood of President John F Kennedy, rested the pink suit worn by First Lady Jackie Kennedy on November 22, 1963, when her husband was shot dead in Dallas.
The astonishing revelation that the Chanel outfit, one of the most symbolic items of clothing in history, sat unattended for two decades in the attic of the Washington DC home of Jackie's mother, Janet Auchincloss, is one of a series of bombshells in a new book
New York’s prestigious Public Theater — which staged the assassination of President Donald Trump in its infamous 2017 production of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar — is laying off 19 percent of its staff as it faces a catastrophic financial crisis brought on by plummeting attendance and soaring operating costs.
Public Theater leaders announced Friday that nearly 1 in 5 workers will receive a pink slip in a bid to save the institution. Artistic director Oskar Eustis told the New York Times that attendance has cratered by 30 percent while the theater’s costs have skyrocketed by as much as 45 percent.
Longshot Democratic presidential candidate and conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Saturday morning disputed a report that quoted him saying Covid-19 was “targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people” and that Jewish people are most immune.
In a report by the New York Post titled “RFK Jr. says COVID was ‘ethnically targeted’ to spare Jews,” video appears to show Kennedy speaking at a dinner in Manhattan. In a discussion on bioweapons and “ethnically targeted microbes,” Kennedy claimed that “Covid-19 attacks certain races disproportionately.”
“Covid-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese,” he said, according to the video
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif) made a fool out of himself after getting into a public spat with House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), defending the naked photos of women that were found on Hunter Biden’s laptop. During a hearing with FBI Director Christopher Wray this week, Swalwell argued that there is no proof the nude images on Hunter’s laptop were not consensual— despite a field day of evidence that Republicans say could have impacted the outcome of the 2020 elections.

In mid-February, we reported that Fulton County (Georgia) Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ordered a limited release of excerpts from a special grand jury’s report on former President Donald Trump and his associates’ alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia:
The probe’s objective was to look into Trump’s alleged attempts to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election in the Peach State. The report was scant on details, but in one section, jurors expressed concerns over perjury on the part of some of the witnesses.
Later that month, Bonchie wrote about Emily Kohrs, a member of that special grand jury, giving interviews to NBC News and CNN.
Iowa's Red Shift
replies
Iowa was, for a long time, a political swing state. Speaking as one who grew up there and lived there until my 26th year, and most of whose family still lives in Iowa, I can say with some confidence that Iowa is a place of great momentum. In small towns and rural areas like the one I grew up in, not much changes from generation to generation. Not industries, not farming practices, not families. But Iowa is an important state politically, mostly due to its status as the opening bell for presidential primaries. Note Tucker Carlson’s recent series of interviews with various GOP POTUS candidates – in Iowa.
Set photos from Disney’s upcoming live-action remake of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" revealed that the entertainment company has prioritized diversity in casting its characters.
Multiple photos released from the production depicted a stunt double as Snow White, who will be played by Hispanic actress Rachel Zegler, and images of the characters who used to be called the "seven dwarves," and are now referred to as "magical creatures."
These photos, obtained by British outlet The Daily Mail, indicated that the new "magical creatures" are quite different from the animated dwarves of the original Disney movie. They are multi-racial, multi-gender and differ in height.
A Pundit With a Point

Generally speaking I skip most punditry stuff nowadays simply because it is fraught with too much pretending.(sniip)
That said, this is one of the rare punditry opinions that hits close to accurate {direct rumble link}. (snip), Ned Ryan is at least one of those pundits who actually hits the target. The flaw, part of the pretending that he misses, is in the outlook that if “republicans” -implying the RNC- can generate a ballot harvesting operation to compete, then Trump will defeat Newsom.
The issue Ryan misses is that professional republicans,(snip)when given the Trump vs Newsom scenario, do not want Trump to defeat Newsom.
The Secret Service announced this week that the agency has finished its investigation into the mysterious baggie of cocaine that was found in the White House earlier this month with finding the culprit.
The agency said that the case was closed due to a lack of forensic evidence coupled with the fact that the class A drug was found an area in which around 500 people passed through at the time it was believed to have been discarded.
It was determined by the agency that because the cocaine amounted to around 0.007 ounces, meaning it would only be a misdemeanor offense in the District of Columbia, it would be
From the interview it is clear that Ron DeSantis handlers have spent a considerable amount of time in intensive training on scripted talking points. Additionally, based on what is visible in the body language of DeSantis he’s juiced.
Watch how DeSantis is fidgeting with the microphone when Tucker is talking. Watch how DeSantis takes a drink of water. Look at the exaggerated mannerisms that are highlighted by a seemingly high-energy state.
Also notice DeSantis never answers a question, but sticks to rehearsed points. Not a single question is answered, despite Carlson asking specifics on Ukraine three times. WATCH:

Polls repeatedly show that voters don’t want a rematch of President Biden versus former President Donald Trump in 2024.
Republicans are going through a formal primary process to determine their nominee. GOP voters support Mr. Trump’s nomination in early polling by more than 20 percentage points.
Democratic voters are not getting the same choice. Establishment Democrats have chosen to coronate Mr. Biden as their nominee — eliminating debates and an open primary process even with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson challenging Mr. Biden’s candidacy. Now, the Democratic establishment is freaking out over what could be a third-party run.
Four in ten donations to presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign are “first-ever donors to the GOP in any form,” the presidential hopeful announced on Friday.
In a video posted to social media, Ramaswamy announced that his campaign crossed the 65,000 unique donor threshold this week. He noted that this means he easily qualifies for the first Republican National Committee (RNC) debate given that the donor threshold is 40,000.
“The second thing that’s pretty cool is that we got over 1,000 unique supporters signing up for the Kitchen Cabinet program, which I think is pretty phenomenal within a few days of launching,” he said of his program, predicting it could
Vice President Kamala Harris made a verbal slip on Friday that fed a frenzy of conspiracy theories, after she spoke of the need to 'reduce population' instead of pollution.
'When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water,' Harris said during a speech in Baltimore on combatting climate change.
The White House official transcript of the remarks corrected the obvious error, crossing out the word 'population' and adding 'pollution' in brackets to indicate what Harris intended to say.
WASHINGTON—Efforts to deceive the public about voting and elections remain a top concern for state election officials as they dig into preparations for the 2024 election.
Misinformation and the emergence of generative artificial intelligence tools to create false and misleading content were cited in interviews with several secretaries of state gathered recently for their national conference. Other top concerns were staffing and the loss of experienced leaders overseeing elections at the local level. The officials were gathered in Washington for the annual summer conference
“The cliché here is true,” said Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon, a Democrat. “You hope for the best, but plan for the worst.
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said she would gut federal law enforcement agencies and remove problematic officials who politicize and weaponize those agencies if elected to the White House.
Haley, a former governor of South Carolina and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, made the remarks on Friday during The Family Leadership Summit in Iowa with Tucker Carlson.
Carlson grilled the candidates that went before her, including Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, and former Vice President Mike Pence.
Tucker Carlson grilled former Vice President Mike Pence, running to become the 2024 GOP presidential nominee, over the January 6, 2021 riot at the United States Capitol, asking whether he believed it was an “insurrection,” as the establishment media has repeatedly claimed.
During a GOP presidential candidate summit hosted by Carlson, Blaze Media, and the Heritage Foundation, among others, Carlson asked Pence his thoughts on the riot that occurred at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, just as Congress was certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election.
A part of the exchange went as follows:

GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said on Friday that the “deep state” was holding the federal investigation into President Joe Biden’s handling of classified information in its “back pocket” in case he becomes the GOP nominee at which point Biden will be swapped out for a different candidate.
Ramaswamy made the remarks at The Family Leadership Summit in speaking with host Tucker Carlson.“My gut instinct is that I will be the nominee and in a position to win this in a landslide versus Biden, and they will not let Biden run against me,” said Ramaswamy, who is polling at roughly 3% in the primary.
Less young people are identifying as Democrats and this has some Biden supporters worried that they won’t show up to vote for him in 2024.
These young voters are not becoming Republicans, they are becoming independents. Far left, progressive independents.
The Democrat party has been headed for this split for a decade or more. The Bernie/AOC wing of the party does not identify with the establishment wing.
Politico reports:
In a massive breach of two dozen organizations, Chinese hackers managed to gain access to the confidential emails of at least two senior officials in the Biden Administration.
As previously reported, Microsoft had announced that a Chinese hacking group called Storm-0558 had been behind the breach of 25 different companies and government agencies.
Now, additional reporting from the Washington Free Beacon reveals that the affected government agencies included the State Department and the Commerce Department, with the accounts of several top State Department officials, as well as Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, being compromised.
Tucker Carlson may no longer have his prime-time spot on Fox News to reach millions of Republican voters, but that hasn't stopped him from playing a burgeoning role in the race for the GOP's presidential nomination.
Carlson sat down with several 2024 Republican candidates at the Family Leadership Summit in Des Moines, Iowa, on Friday, although the most high-profile candidate, former President Donald Trump, wasn't there. Instead, Trump's rivals Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, former Vice President Mike Pence, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) attended and took the stage with Carlson.
Former Vice President Mike Pence was among several 2024 Republican presidential candidates who released lackluster second-quarter fundraising reports on Friday raising doubts about their ability to qualify for the first primary debate next month.
Pence has raised a mere $1.2 million for his presidential campaign in the three weeks since launching his White House bid, according to reports. Combined with the roughly $2.6 million reportedly raised by Committed to America, a super PAC aligned with the former vice president, Pence’s second quarter totals amount to just $3.8 million, far less than his top opponents.
Newly unredacted emails reveal that former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci was aware that risky gain-of-function research was occurring in Wuhan, China, prior to the emergence of COVID-19, even though he referred to this fact in public as a “conspiracy theory.”
Earlier this week, House Republicans on the subcommittee investigating the origin of the Covid-19 virus released a trove of new documents related to their investigation. Some of the documents exposed the conversations of the scientists behind an influential paper claiming that the virus had emerged naturally in a Chinese “wet market.”

Tucker Carlson single-handedly destroyed several globalist RINOs during Friday’s presidential primary forum in Iowa.
The former Fox News host interviewed five candidates including Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Mike Pence.
Tucker plucked off the RINO candidates one by one.
It was a sight to behold.Tucker point blank asked former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson how many Covid vaccines he has taken.
“And how many Covid shots did you take, and how do you feel about it now?” Tucker asked Hutchinson.
Asa Hutchinson didn’t want to answer the question so he tried to turn it around on Tucker.

James Murdoch was reportedly 'iced out' of the Murdoch family reunion on Saturday as his media mogul father Rupert and siblings Lachlan and Elizabeth celebrated on their superyachts.
The billionaire family took their multimillion-dollar boats out for a spin on the Amalfi Coast with their extended family of almost 40, but James, 50, was nowhere to be seen.
Allegedly estranged from the international media magnates due to his left-leaning politics, James was not invited to the reunion,
The Left is big on de-escalation of conflict. They insist on talk rather than action to address rioting, theft, and even violent assault. The one place where they will not use it is in politics. De-escalation of political conflict would require them to do something they are loath to -- debate ideas. The left is instead attacking our right to speech.
Try disagreeing with any element of leftist orthodoxy and see what happens. Challenging any of their core positions will not be met with robust debate, but with insults, cancellation, and even physical attack. Challenge them on:

Trans grooming of children -- you’re a homophobe.

Word emerged the other day that Ray Epps is finally about to be charged for events on January 6, 2021. Sharp-eyed media consumers instantly noticed that, with this news, the mainstream media moved in unison to redefine their previous characterization of events on that day.
Since the day Joe Biden took office, the administration has spent an inordinate amount of time, energy, and money to arrest and prosecute every random grandmother who took a picture inside the Capitol on January 6, ignoring the fact that Capitol police welcomed many into the building.
The administration has also savaged the constitutional rights of some of those arrested by locking them up without bail
The largest consumer bankruptcy law firm in Illinois and one of the biggest in the country has filed for bankruptcy after taking millions in taxpayer-backed loans meant to help struggling businesses survive the pandemic.

I use the phrase “Judeo-Christian.” When I use it in a published piece, at least one disgruntled reader will shoot me a grumble of protest. “Judeo-Christian” is a controversial phrase. Since it raises hackles, why do I use it?
First, let’s look at the controversy. “Judeo-Christian” is so controversial that a 368-page scholarly book has been written about the history and usage of the phrase. Chicago University Press went so far as to call it “dangerous” and a “linguistic battlefield.” I guess that makes those of us who use the phrase warriors. Professor Mark Silk suggests that the phrase is “neo-fascist.” Others call it a “dog whistle myth
It’s the logo that Costco shoppers dread: when the “Death Star” appears next to their favorite item, indicating that the discount retail giant won’t restock once current inventory has sold out.

During a scandal, it’s never a good look when an organization’s defense can be summarized as, “We’re not corrupt, we’re incompetent!” Yet, that’s exactly where the Secret Service finds itself after concluding its cocaine investigation that yielded zero leads.
Somehow, in “the most secure building in the entire world,” with an annual budget of about $3 billion and roughly 8,000 employees, per fiscal 2023 levels, the Secret Service cannot figure out who left that baggie of booger sugar. Fingerprints are impossible to obtain for some reason and video footage is apparently inadequate. So, how it snowed in July in Washington, D.C. will remain a mystery.
John Kirby of the Biden administration defended woke policies in the U.S. Military on Friday, saying that Biden absolutely believes that diversity, equity and inclusion is important in the armed services.
Every branch of the military has been struggling with recruiting in recent years and this might be one of the reasons why.
The military is not supposed to be a lab for social engineering.

Nearly 50 Democrats issued a rebuke of President Biden's plan to send cluster munitions to Ukraine by voting for an amendment by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to ban the practice.
The amendment, which was supported by 49 Democrats and 98 Republicans, ultimately failed to make its way into the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), but proved opposition - and support - for the indiscriminate bombs transcends party lines.
The Democrats included Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, N.Y., Maxwell Frost, Fla., Cori Bush, Mo., Greg Casar, Texas, Pramila Jayapal, Wash., and Jamaal Bowman, N.Y.
During a portion of an interview set to air on Sunday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that was aired on Friday’s broadcast of FBN’s “Mornings with Maria,” 2024 presidential candidate former President Donald Trump stated that “it probably was” a mistake for him to nominate Christopher Wray to be FBI Director during his term and Wray “was recommended very strongly” by 2024 GOP rival former New Jersey Gov.
