Black Republican Delegates Hold First-ever
Meeting at RNC: ‘This Movement Cannot
Be Stopped’

Black Republican delegates held their first-ever formal meeting at the Republican National Convention, headlined by a long list of black elected Republicans whose number has grown in the Trump era. The event, which drew about 200 attendees, was sponsored by the Black Republican Mayors’ Association, and headlined by Richard Irving, the black Republican mayor of Aurora, Illinois — that state’s second-largest city after Chicago. It was black voices, Irving said, that would “lead us to the Promised Land” of political victory. Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT) described the meeting as the fulfillment of a vision that he had ever since leaving the NFL in 1983

Need a little convincing about the worthiness of J.D. Vance as President Trump's running mate?
Look no further than Sen. Mitt Romney's boiling hate of the guy.
From X:
“I don’t know that I can disrespect someone more than J. D. Vance,” Mitt Romney told me when he was running for Senate.
So much for civility. So much for Senate congeniality. That's a fellow Republican Senator of his, with whom he's now served in the Upper House for three years and he couldn't manage to muster a courteous word

Events may have overtaken Biden's now widely known cognitive issues. What you can readily take away from past assassination attempts is the empathy factor. None of the major networks (except Fox) regularly carry Trump rallies. This is likely to change after the near assassination of President Trump. Merely the optics of Trump, wounded but defiant, standing beneath an American flag and railing against a lone gunman, already dead but who thought he would rid the planet of Trump, is a harbinger of a November win.
By that act, Thomas Matthew Crooks will be recorded by history in one of several ways: misguided, crazy, a true believer
Former President Trump hit the golf course on Sunday, the day after surviving an assassination attempt, according to a video clip posted on social media that drew the attention of Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah.
He is reportedly staying at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J.
"The man has the energy of a dynamo," Lee posted on X in response to the clip.
"There’s a specific scientific term for this kind of (very unusual) man—you know, the kind of man that gets shot, gets up the next morning, and goes golfing," he added.

Appalling but expected: that’s all that needs to be said about the Left’s response to the attempted assassination of President Trump. It’s no longer a process of conscious thought, or consideration, or reflection. It’s degenerated to the level of a tropism, a reaction you’d see in an insect or a nematode.

In France, It’s Left vs. Left

The right-leaning media and pundits are excited: Marine Le Pen’s party gained twice as many seats in recent French elections. The left-leaning media and commentariat are thrilled, too: Le Pen’s right-wing party won the popular vote but landed only third place in the French National Assembly. If both sides of the political spectrum are so enthusiastic, it could mean only one thing: something is missing here.
The answer lies most likely in conflating two different political spectra: absolute and relative. Since Stalin proposed the modern relative political spectrum, it garnered popularity, and members of the Frankfurt School of socialism brought it to American soil.

A now-deleted Facebook post by a staffer of Mississippi's lone Democrat congressman appeared to support the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on Saturday.
The deleted post by Jacqueline Marsaw, a field director for U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Mississippi, said "I don't condone violence but please get you some shooting lessons so you don't miss next time ooops [sic] that wasn't me talking."
The Mississippi Republican Party's X account said Thompson should "FIRE his field director for condoning the attempted assassination of President @realDonaldTrump !!!" The post also said state Democrats "must repudiate these despicable statements."
Driving Vice President-elect Kamala Harris by an undetected bomb. Refusing extra resources for a presidential candidate. Admitting an agent on a White House detail assaulted her supervisor.
Long before the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on Saturday night such focused a harsh light on the Secret Service, the presidential security agency was already facing difficult questions about its capability, training, recruitment and emphasis on diversity..[snip]
Several witnesses said they started to yell the man had a gun before he started shooting. And several lawmakers say they are now investigating reports that the Trump campaign had requested additional security resources recently, and was turned down.
Police in Charlotte, South Carolina, arrested an 18-year-old Honduran migrant for his alleged role in a random shooting spree that left one person dead. The migrant reportedly entered the U.S. illegally by crossing the border from Mexico into Texas, according to a local news report.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department investigators arrested 18-year-old Carlos Roberto Diaz in connection to the alleged murder of a Charlotte resident. WSOC-TV9 reports sources indicating that Roberto Diaz entered the U.S. illegally in 2019 when he crossed the Mexican border into Texas with his father. The source did not explain what happened to Roberto Diaz after his encounter with Border Patrol agents..
The Ninth Circuit shoots down COVID vaccine

The COVID shot was put on trial in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and coming from California the result might surprise you. Three of four judges agree it was never a “traditional vaccine” and therefore could not legally be mandated.
The case was against the Los Angeles Unified School District (“LAUSD”) that “required employees to get the COVID-19 vaccination or lose their jobs.” While this case was making its way thru the courts, LAUSD was playing Hokey-Pokey with their policy on “vaccination” which didn’t play well in their litigation strategy, as it allowed the case to be kept alive rather than becoming moot.
The behavior of the current U.S. administration toward Iran, in continuation of the policies of the Obama administration, has been appeasement on a monumental scale.
That's evident in the financial tribute facilitated and released to Iran; the lack of effective action to circumscribe Iran’s expansion of its influence in the Middle East; the failure to counter effectively Iran’s terrorism against America and its friends in the region; the failure to curb Iran’s development of a nuclear arsenal; and the failure to arrest Iran’s development of short and long range missiles to deliver those weapons, not only against targets in the Middle East, but also against targets in Europe and America.
Suffice to say, all is not well for the Electric Vehicle (EV) industry these days. Despite ample subsidies from the federal government, EV sales are slumping.
Some of the largest automakers, such as Mercedes Benz, admit they won’t come close to hitting their EV sales estimates over the next few years. And Tesla, the king of EVs, just announced its lowest quarterly profit over the past two years. After the Tesla news broke, the company’s shares cratered, leading to a $138 billion decline in value.
Even worse, Hyundai Motor North America is facing a lawsuit that contends the auto manufacturer “has emphasized sales-volume growth

President Biden tested positive for COVID-19 Wednesday and canceled a speech to a Latino advocacy group in Sin City.
UnidosUS president Janet Murguía announced the diagnosis on stage as attendees began to wonder why Biden, 81, was running 90 minutes late to speak.
Biden taped a radio interview with Univision — set to air Thursday — shortly before the positive test was disclosed.
Despite the graphic photographic evidence from different angles showing former President Trump was missing chunks of his right ear after being shot in the head during a failed assassination attempt over the weekend, MSNBC host Michael Steele wasted oxygen during the network’s coverage of Night Two of the Republican National Convention on Tuesday to spew debunked fringe conspiracy theories claiming Trump wasn’t actually hit by a bullet.
“Where I am at this point, it's been three days, going on four…and yet, we have not received a medical report from the hospital nor have we received a medical report from the campaign or from the Trump organization about
Democratic strategist James Carville on Thursday criticized the belief of some of former President Donald Trump’s backers that “God is protecting him” after surviving an assassination attempt on Saturday.
Trump survived the attempt on his life at his Pennsylvania rally after a bullet grazed his head, with some of the former president’s backers now believing that he is being protected by God, according to The New York Times. Carville on “Politics War Room” said he thinks this belief is “horseshit” and “a perversion,” adding that their religious perspective will lead to Trump destroying his enemies if reelected.
President Biden said in a new interview that he would consider dropping out if he was diagnosed with a “medical condition” by doctors — giving the clearest indication yet that he may be faltering in his vow to seek a second term. The 81-year-old president made the remark in a BET interview taped Tuesday when asked what it would take to prompt him to reconsider his candidacy.
“If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if doctors came to me and said, you got this problem and that problem,” Biden said in an excerpt released Wednesday.
The Department of Homeland Security inspector general opened an investigation on Wednesday into the Secret Service’s failure to prevent the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump at Saturday’s Pennsylvania rally.
The objective of the probe is to “Evaluate the United States Secret Service’s (Secret Service) process for securing former President Trump’s July 13, 2024 campaign event,” according to a short notice posted to the inspector general’s website. No specific date was given for when the investigation was launched.
The newly launched investigation comes after President Joe Biden had directed the Secret Service to conduct an independent review
This was a surreal and amazing incident that unfolded tonight at the Republican National Convention.
Kimberly Cheatle, the director of the Secret Service, was confronted by Republican senators John Barrasso of Wyoming and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, who were demanding answers about the failure of the Secret Service to protect Donald Trump.
Kim Cheatle tried to run away but the senators chased after her, demanding answers.
This is just stunning. Watch below:
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough all but called on President Biden to drop his re-election campaign Thursday — as the TV host ripped the commander-in-chief’s inner circle for keeping him in the race.
“This is not going to end well if it continues to drag out,” Scarborough said during a lengthy spiel on his “Morning Joe” talk show. Scarborough, who has staunchly defended the 81-year-old president in recent weeks despite the mounting calls for him to step aside, called on those closest to Biden to help him “do the right thing.”
“It’s really incumbent on people that are around Joe Biden to step up at this point and help
Sources tell Axios' Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen that Democratic party leaders and close friends of Joe Biden will convince him to bail out of the presidential contest as soon as this weekend.According to the report, Biden's defiance is strictly for public consumption. In private "he's resigned to mounting pressure, bad polls, and untenable scrutiny making it impossible to continue his campaign, the Democrats tell us."
Behind the scenes: The private message, distilled to its bluntest form: The top leaders of his party, his friends and key donors believe he can't win, can't change public perceptions of his age and acuity, and can't deliver congressional majorities.
He just can’t help himself.
After two disastrous speeches, Joe Biden made an unscheduled stop at Mario’s Westside Market in Las Vegas, Nevada Tuesday evening.“How you doin? Good to see you!” Biden said as he went in for a sniff.
“Thank you, Riley! How old are you? 5?” Biden asked the child after he took a picture with her.
Biden delivered remarks during the 115th NAACP National Convention and then participated in an economic summit with Rep. Steven Horsford earlier Tuesday.
81-year-old Biden walked into Mario’s Westside Market and immediately went in for a sniff. The child’s mother chimes in, “Say 3! I’m 3!”
In a leaked Zoom call with moderate House Democrats on Sunday, President Joesph Biden once again used his dead son, Beau Biden, this time, to insult and denigrate the military and combat service of Colorado Congressman Jason Crow (D). Biden was unhinged as he told Crow to "tell me who did something that you’ve never done with your Bronze Star like my son!" President Biden was attempting to convey the message that he was fit and able to continue on with his campaign and snapped at Crow when he politely expressed his concerns to the president.
Members of the far-left joined with their entertainment elite compatriots on social media to mock former President Trump’s ear bandage just days after he survived an assassination attempt which also took the life of one man. Sneering far-left Star Wars actor Mark Hamill happily showed the way.
According to Ronny Jackson, the former White House doctor who became a Texas congressman, Trump lost “a little bit” of his ear when the bullet grazed him on Saturday. “I checked his ear out,” Jackson said. “I went up and dressed his ear this morning.”
Just when I think the media can’t get any dumber, folks like MSNBC’s Joy Reid prove me dead wrong.
In Reid’s latest tap-dancing routine for President Joe Biden, she responded to the news that he has COVID-19 – again. During the segment, she lauded Biden’s latest COVID diagnosis as an opportunity to attack former President Donald Trump, who is riding high after Saturday’s attempt on his life.
And not spread COVID around, but also to remind people of what hell we went through with COVID because of Donald Trump. Here is a great messaging opportunity for President Biden to bring out the tape and remind people of how many people died.

I call this a very good thing.
