The Democratic National Convention Could
Be an Epic Political Massacre
Posted By: Dreadnought, 7/8/2024 11:48:47 AM
Joe Biden informed congressional Democrats in a letter on Monday that he has no intention of dropping out of the race. Later, during an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Biden defiantly dismissed those in the party who are calling on him to step aside and offered anyone to challenge him at the Democratic National Convention. "The American public is not going to move away from me as the average voter," Biden told hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough. "And again, I'm here for two reasons: One to rebuild the economy for hardworking middle-class people [to] give everybody a shot. It's a straight shot. Everybody gets a fair chance, number one."

Too many people have all kinds of weird things pop into their heads when you mention the word "wealth." So when an article appears that mentions (almost certainly correctly) that Baby Boomers are at the moment the wealthiest generation and reveals how they are apparently flocking to a town in Texas with wheelbarrows full of cash (almost certainly an exaggeration), it's easy to spot some of those misconceptions.
Georgetown, Texas, is the place to be, at least if you're of a certain age. Thanks to a surge in baby boomers moving into the city just 40 miles north of Austin, it's the fastest-growing city in America.
Former U.S. Senator James Inhofe, an outspoken conservative and the longest-serving Senator in Oklahoma history, has died at 89.
Inhofe represented Oklahoma in the U.S. Senate for 36 years following his election in 1994, including as chairman of the Senate Armed Services and Senate Environment Committees. Before his time in the upper chamber, Inhofe served as mayor of Tulsa, a legislator in both chambers of the Oklahoma statehouse, and a representative in the U.S. House.
The Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg was evacuated Saturday after every member of the state’s legislature received an email threatening anti-Israel bombings in the complex.
“In the name of Palestine, I have hidden highly lethal lead azide devices in and around Pennsylvania State Capitol as well as the Pennsylvania Judicial Center,” the suspect, going by the alias of “glorytoourmartyrs,” wrote. “I plan on triggering one device every few hours until Joe Biden goes on national television and publicly denounces the illegitimate state of Israel. Keep in mind I am inside one of the 2 buildings armed w/ a knife, and plan on remaining here to my dying breath!”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), the far-left “Squad” leader in Congress, announced her support for President Joe Biden on Monday despite calls within his own party to step down following his disastrous debate against former President Donald Trump.
The congresswoman shared her position in a statement in which she called the matter “closed” due to the president’s insistence to stay in the race:
I have spoken to the President over the weekend. I have spoken with him extensively. He made clear then and he has made clear since that he is in this race. The matter is closed. He had reiterated that this morning, he has reiterated
Model, television star, and "SlutWalk" founder Amber Rose has been making quite a few waves in the political world lately. She recently openly endorsed Trump, causing a ton of backlash toward her.
But none of this seems to matter to her as she's not only doubled and tripled down on her Trump support, but she's now quadrupled it by stating she'll be speaking at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, according to a post on X. Rose's support of Trump took a lot of people by surprise, however she's stated her reasoning on multiple occasions.
Recently, she told TMZ that she's no longer brainwashed
Former President Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden in six swing states, an Emerson/DemNextGen poll found Monday, further fueling fears among Democrats about Biden’s political viability.
Trump leads in every swing state by at least three points, except in Michigan, where he leads by one:
Pennsylvania – Trump: 48% (+5) Biden: 43%
Wisconsin – Trump: 47% (+3) Biden: 44%
Michigan – Trump: 45% (+1) Biden: 44%
Nevada – Trump: 47% (+6) Biden: 41%
Arizona – Trump: 46% (+4) Biden: 42%
Georgia – Trump: 47% (+5) Biden: 42% Trump increased his lead over Biden in Georgia (+1), Nevada (+4), and Pennsylvania (+3), the July Emerson poll shows compared to June’s poll.

Russia Bombs Children's Hospital in Broad Daylight 7 replies
On Monday, Russia bombed Kyiv during rush hour hitting multiple sites across the town. They intentionally struck Ukraine's largest children's hospital, which provides care to some of the country's sickest children, including those with cancer.
At least 36 are dead and 137 injured across the city, but first responders are still trying to clear the rubble. It is unclear how many children may lie under the destruction in the children's hospital. It's the most tragic scenario that could be imagined, and it was done in broad daylight by monsters who purposely targeted vulnerable children and families.
Some of the doctors were in surgery with children when the strike hit.
Sullivan & Cromwell, a prominent Wall Street law firm, implemented new standards for job applicants from top law schools following antisemitic protests that swept America’s universities in the aftermath of Hamas’s October 7 terrorist attack on Israel.
The policy, detailed in a New York Times report, dictates that individuals who participated in college protests should be held responsible for their actions, as well as the actions of those around them, Joseph C. Shenker of Sullivan & Cromwell, told the Times. The firm conducts background checks on potential first-year associates to scrutinize applicants’ involvement with pro-Palestinian groups and campus protests, looking for examples of antisemitism.
The New Republic was raked over the coals for its outrageous cover depicting a former U.S. president as a fascist dictator responsible for the deaths of millions.
The leftist rag was called out on social media as a “clown publication” and blasted for “fearmongering” after sporting an image of Trump as Hitler on its latest cover.
“We chose the cover image, based on a well-known 1932 Hitler campaign poster, for a precise reason: that anyone transported back to 1932 Germany could very, very easily have explained away Herr Hitler’s excesses and been persuaded that his critics were going overboard,” the publication explained.
Statistics-based journalist-pollster Nate Silver, who previously worked at the New York Times (where he founded the influential presidential polling-data site FiveThirtyEight) and at ABC News, had some internal insight into the media bias debate, saying out loud what we at NewsBusters know well.
It came in his Monday post “Blaming the media is what got Democrats into this mess.” (The mess being President Biden’s disastrous debate performance and the feigned shock from the press who felt obliged to downplay it.)
In his latest Silver Bulletin newsletter, the political prognosticator credited, or blamed, the newly minted progressive media critics for putting a lid on Biden age coverage

for Mocking Antisemitism Concerns in Texts 11 replies
Columbia University on Monday placed three administrators on leave over leaked text exchanges in which they played down concerns about campus antisemitism and mocked the university’s rabbi during a panel on Jewish life at Columbia.
As panelists shared their experiences of antisemitism on campus, the administrators exchanged mocking texts — captured in photos by a person in attendance and shared with the Washington Free Beacon — in which they suggested that critics were using the issue of antisemitism for its “fundraising potential.”
The administrators — Columbia College vice dean and chief administrative officer Susan Chang-Kim, dean of undergraduate student life Cristen Kromm, and associate dean for student and family support Matthew Patashnick
The comeback tour continued for Joe Biden on Monday morning with a brief stint on MSNBC. The president called into "Morning Joe," a show hosted by two of his biggest fans, in yet another attempt to soothe the souls of Democrats worried about his ability to win in November. Notably, Biden did not appear on video, and if you pay attention to the pace of his speaking, it sure sounds like that was because he was reading from a script. Even then, he still managed to faceplant throughout the "interview." BIDEN: (Incoherent)...Joe, let me say it this way. The reason I've been out on the road so much all over

Medical School claims 44 replies
Duke Medical School claims it is “white supremacy culture” to expect people of color to be on time in a strategic plan for creating an “anti-racist workforce.”
The medical school said its goal is to “catalyze anti-racist practice through education” in a 2021 plan titled “Dismantling Racism and Advancing Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in the School of Medicine.” The guide — praised by the school’s dean — called out what it deemed “white supremacy culture,” with its purported nitpicking about being on time, dress code, speech and work style. It also contains a series of negative terminology vis-à-vis white culture.
A pair of well-connected Democrats have issued a bombshell memo detailing their wild plan to replace President Joe Biden on their 2024 ticket.
It would require Biden to step down as the head of the ticket by mid-July to pave the way for other Democrats to throw their hats in the ring for a 'blitz primary' that would feature celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Oprah, according to Semafor.
The six candidates with the most votes from delegates would also have to vow to run a positive-only campaign.The plan is the brainchild of Rosa Brooks, a Georgetown law professor who served in both the Obama and Clinton administrations
France's radical left-wing coalition has vowed to bring in a 90 per cent tax rate on the rich following their shock election triumph on Sunday. In a result that caught political commentators by surprise, the New Popular Front (NPF) emerged as the biggest party in the second round of the elections which ended in a deadlock, gaining 182 seats ahead of President Emmanuel Macron's centrist Ensemble party, on 168. (Snip) The programme includes a 90 per cent tax rate on any annual income above €400,000, a reduction in the retirement age from 64 to 60, a block on the price
Actress Minnie Driver has insulted supporters of former President Donald Trump, claiming they “really quite like a bit of a racist attitude” in their candidate. She also dissed America’s founding fathers, saying there should have been some “mothers” involved in the creation of the country.
The Good Will Hunting star held forth on Trump and his tens of millions of supporters in an interview with The Times of London on Saturday.
Driver spoke about the “revelation of the 70 million people who really quite like a bit of a racist attitude and non-existent immigration policies and dismantling the environmental agencies.”
“They were always there,” she added.

veepstakes: Put Glenn Youngkin in the
mix — and drop J.D. Vance 34 replies
Donald Trump’s choice for veep is reportedly down to Gov. Doug Burgum and Sen. J.D. Vance, with Burgum having a slight edge.
But the race is changing fast, and the former prez certainly isn’t afraid to shift course to up his odds in response: The larger his landslide, the stronger his mandate and the longer his coattails.
So, while North Dakota’s Burgum would be fine (while Vance looks risky in any circumstances), it’s not too late to consider someone like Virginia’s Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who could clinch the case for Trump in a state that’s newly in-play — not to mention among swing voters across the nation.
Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) said Monday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” that former President Donald Trump was “capable” of the kind of violence that destroys democracy.
Waters said, “I believe when the president talks about, if he doesn’t win there’s going to be violence in the streets. He talks about civil war. He talks about bloodshed. I think it’s those kinds of issues that bring people together, because he’s talking about not only undermining our democracy, but he’s talking about destroying it. Then when you connect that with what happened on January 6th and they understand that, yes, you know, he really was in the leadership of that.

Joe Biden has not only indicated that he has every intention of staying in the race, but he has also refused to take a cognitive test, asserting that his presidential duties put his mental acuity to the test. So now that it appears he’s not going anywhere, Whoopi Goldberg gave a rather unflattering endorsement of Biden during Monday’s episode of “The View,” indicating that she’s still ridin’ with Biden even if he’s an invalid.
“I don’t care if he’s pooped his pants. I don’t care if he can’t put a sentence together,” Goldberg declared, prompting the audience to laugh. “Show me he can’t do the job,
The Biden family have entered the negotiation stage, as they face two simultaneous enemies aligned in common purpose.
Hunter Biden has been brought close into the fold, as the Intelligence Community obviously holds leverage over Dad’s disposition through the entry vector of his son. As this aspect unfolds, the Biden syndicate goes to the mattresses. The threat metric against Hunter is why he is now part of the daily advisory group around the Office of the President.
Meanwhile, in a coded message, Joe Biden technically blamed the Obama network today when he called in to the NSNBC radio show and pointed fingers at the DNC elite.
MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell has called for allowing Joe Biden to have aides with him on stage to speak for him and help him sound coherent.
Yes, really. This is where we are now.
O’Donnell said that it would be good to “Allow the candidates to have as many staff as they want, join them on the stage throughout the debate, and make sure that all of them have microphones.”
He added that “the candidates should be allowed to turn to their staff and confer with them about anything at any time in the debate.”
“And we should be able to hear everything they say. So we can hear if the candidate has competent

The White House admitted Monday that a Parkinson’s expert who’s visited the executive mansion eight times in as many months has evaluated President Biden — but said the exams only took place during the president’s annual physicals.
The revelation was disclosed in a letter from Biden’s personal physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor hours after White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to explain the flurry of recent visits from the Parkinson’s specialist, Dr. Kevin Cannard.
“Dr. Cannard was the neurological specialist that examined President Biden for each of his annual physicals,” O’Connor wrote in the letter.

Democrats trying to dislodge Joe Biden will first have to combat the proxy commander in chief: Hunter Biden — and that’s easier said than done. With the Biden family digging in behind Joe staying put, any staffers or party grandees deputized to strong-arm Joe Biden out of being their candidate in November had better not underestimate the first son. While the focus has been on four-time Vogue cover girl Jill Biden and her screeching assurances that Joe is hale and hearty and fit for another four years, the first son has flown under the radar
SAN DIEGO — Interest rates on retail credit cards are on the rise, and the numbers may surprise you. Macy’s just sent letters to its card users announcing the interest rate on their Macy's card is jumping to 34.49%. Industry experts told CBS 8 the increase is part of a nationwide trend. “I mean, I follow this so closely that I'm not shocked, but on the face of it, yeah, that's a really high interest rate," said Ted Rossman, a senior industry analyst at Bankrate. Rossman says retail stores already have the highest APRs, and those rates have been climbing
