‘They Should Be Ashamed of Themselves’:
Netanyahu Unloads on Anti-Israel Protesters
in Passionate Address to Congress
Posted By: Dreadnought, 7/24/2024 3:48:03 PM
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu had harsh words for anti-Israel protesters in his Wednesday address to a joint session of Congress, slamming the activists as “useful idiots” for Iran and other bad actors even as they congregated outside the Capitol. “Defeating our brutal enemies requires both courage and clarity,” he said. “Clarity begins by knowing the difference between good and evil. Yet, incredibly, many anti-Israel protesters choose to stand with evil. They stand with Hamas. They stand with rapists and murderers. They stand with people who come into the kibbutzim — into the home — with the parents and the children, the two babies in the secret attic, and murder

Can Kamala Harris improve her standing with voters? Or does she come into the competitive presidential race as high as she'll get? I've written about Harris' prospects several times over the last few weeks since the Dump Biden movement began, warning Democrats that Harris turned out to be poor at it in 2019, and then showed even less competence after becoming Vice President.
Just to recall, here's her favorability chart from RCP. Harris is not starting from scratch, nor does she begin with much good will from the electorate: If history and starting points mean anything -- and sometimes they mean less than we expect -- then Democrats just
This is the summer of media discontent.
Ever since the debate debacle, which exposed Joe Biden as the shell of a man the press had been shielding from public exposure, journalists have been struggling. Beyond failed attempts to extricate themselves from that culpability quagmire, there was the way they covered the Trump assassination attempt, dealing with the GOP convention, Biden’s COVID disappearance, the turmoil in the Democratic Party, and then the ultimate departure of President Silveralert from the ticket. This week, as they were eager to elevate Kamala Harris into the political stratosphere, we saw yet another attempt by the news outlets to set
Trump Unloads on Chris Wray After FBI

Boss Bizarrely Questions Whether He Was
Actually Shot 11 replies
As we’ve been reporting, FBI Director Chris Wray testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday, and as our Susie Moore wrote, he was more candid than usual (although that’s not saying much). There was one puzzling exchange he had with Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), however, that turned heads and earned a strong condemnation from Donald Trump.
Despite the fact that eight shots ran out on July 13 during a Pennsylvania campaign rally, despite retired fire chief Corey Comperatore being killed by gunfire and two others injured, and despite the fact that the GOP nominee’s doctor who actually treated the wound described it as a gunshot injury, Wray wasn’t convinced.
Democrats Really Have a Problem With Jews

Border Czar Kamala Harris had an opportunity Wednesday to reset the entire election. She had the ability to take her place as the president of the Senate and preside over a major address by a foreign leader to a joint session of Congress and look presidential to millions of voters trying to decide whether or not she's up to the job.
As the antisemitic riots were taking place a block and a half from the Capitol, Border Czar Kamala Harris could have electrified the country by summoning up her own version of a Sister Souljah moment and denounce the violence, renounce the Jew hatred in her Democratic base,
... the same as in the national polling since Sunday. Which is to say, not much at all.
In the first significant battleground-state poll series since Joe Biden got knifed by his own party withdrew, Emerson College finds Donald Trump still up in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Kamala Harris does better than Biden was doing in these states, but her entry has not changed the trajectory anywhere except possibly in Wisconsin ... where she only ties Trump:
New Emerson College Polling/The Hill polling in five swing states finds Vice President Kamala Harris trailing former President Donald Trump in four states, and tied in Wisconsin. In Arizona,
Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, co-founder and alleged current leader of the Mexican Sinaloa drug cartel, is in US custody, according to a diplomatic source with direct knowledge of the case.
A federal grand jury in Texas indicted him in 2012 on murder and conspiracy charges connected with drug trafficking, money laundering and organized crime.
The latest indictment against Zambada, one of the most notorious drug traffickers in Mexico’s history, was in February. It charged him with conspiring to manufacture and distribute a substance containing fentanyl, according to the US Justice Department.

De facto Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris said on Thursday she is "ready to debate" her Republican rival, former President Donald Trump.
"I think that voters deserve to see the split screen that exists in this race on a debate stage, and so I'm ready," Harris told reporters on an airport tarmac outside Washington. "Let's go."
Harris, the vice president, said she has agreed to face off with Trump on Sept. 10. ABC News had been scheduled to hold a debate on that date with Trump and President Joe Biden, who withdrew from the race on Sunday.
"Now it appears he's backpedaling,"
New York prosecutors urged a Manhattan judge to uphold Donald Trump's criminal conviction, saying a recent Supreme Court decision has little bearing on a unanimous jury's decision finding the former president guilty of falsifying records.
In a 69-page memo filed Wednesday and made public Thursday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and prosecutors from his office called Trump's effort "meritless," writing that the Supreme Court's decision "has no bearing on this prosecution and would not support [vacating] the jury's unanimous verdict."

California’s top state court on Thursday upheld a measure approved by voters allowing app-based services such as Uber and Lyft to consider drivers in the most populous state as independent contractors rather than as employees entitled to greater benefits.
The ruling by the California Supreme Court is a major victory for the ride-hailing industry, which has said that many companies would end or limit service in the state if they were forced to treat thousands of drivers as their employees.
The court dismissed a lawsuit by the Service Employees International Union and four drivers who say the 2020 ballot measure known as Proposition 22, which preserves drivers’ contractor status
Vice President and presumptive nominee Kamala Harris is now in a virtual tie with former President Donald Trump, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll published on Thursday. The poll was conducted from July 22 to July 24, 2024.
The survey shows Trump leading Harris by just one percentage point among likely voters, with Trump at 48% and Harris at 47%.
The poll also reveals a swift consolidation of Democratic support around Harris, with 70% of Democratic voters favoring a quick endorsement of her candidacy. Only 14% prefer another option.
California governor Gavin Newsom directed state officials to remove homeless encampments across the Golden State on Thursday after the Supreme Court ruled in June that local governments have a right to ban public camping and impose fines for violators.
Newsom announced the guidance in an executive order, advising cities to crack down on encampments on public property while providing social services and housing alternatives. The order, first reported by the New York Times, represents a sharp departure from the accommodative homelessness policies adopted by progressive state governments over the last decade.
These shady, massive, non-government agencies seem as if they're Europe's version of Soros and lefty American tech billionaires, only they're cloaked in an aura of goodness and light, whereas Soros et al. are as dark as money gets.
It also helps that where Soros's money is his own, these NGOs derive their income from?
The European Union coffers.
Neat little circle of self-interest there, no?
EU-funded NGOs are behind attempts to rally the European Parliament against the so-called “far-right”, it has been revealed.
A Brussels Signal investigation has uncovered evidence that advertising campaigns asking centrist and left-wing politicians to fight against hard-right political groups have the backing of state-funded organisations.

Joe Biden gave a confused address at the White House on Wednesday evening that was supposed to address why he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race. Instead, he had so little respect for the American people he didn't even lay out the specific reason, saying only that he dropped out to unite the party and "save democracy." So basically he was admitting this was an effort to increase their chances in the election. It was a cynical attack on democracy, throwing the votes of millions of Americans under the bus. He tried to convince us
In the immediate wake of Joe Biden's departure from the presidential race, liberal commentators began effusively praising the president for his decency, humility, and willingness to sacrifice his political career for the good of the country. Ezra Klein called him an "actual hero" who had demonstrated what real moral character looks like. Historian Jon Meacham, a personal friend of Biden, compared him to George Washington and said that he had "taught us a landmark lesson in patriotism, humility and wisdom." Frank Bruni called Biden's action "utterly extraordinary." Economist Alex Tabarrok called Biden an "American Cincinnatus." The statements of Democratic politicians were similarly overflowing with tributes to Biden's selflessness. But
Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III has ordered the Department of Defense to review the Medal of Honor awarded to 20 soldiers for their actions in the Wounded Knee Massacre that took place in 1890.
Austin wrote in a memo, “The [special review panel] may consider the context of the overall engagement as appropriate, including as necessary to understand each [Wounded Knee Creek Medal of Honor] recipient’s individual actions.”
In a separate statement, a senior defense official shared, “It’s never too late to do what’s right.”
The official added, “And that’s what is intended by the review that the secretary directed, which is to ensure that we go back and review
FBI Director Christopher Wray said on Wednesday that it was not clear whether former President Donald Trump was shot or hit by shrapnel when a gunman opened fire at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, earlier this month.
The FBI is investigating the July 13 shooting, which killed one rally-goer and seriously injured two others before the gunman, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was shot dead by the Secret Service.
Trump was rushed off stage with a bloodied ear. He said that night that he was "shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear." He said he heard "a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping
A growing portion of Taylor Swift fans are throwing their support behind Kamala Harris in the upcoming U.S. presidential election and social media accounts dedicated to their efforts are steadily gaining followers.[Snip] A TikTok account called @Swifties4Kamala launched soon after Biden backed Harris for the nomination. The account, which is not affiliated with Swift, describes itself as a "Coalition of Swifties mobilizing to get Dem candidates elected nationwide."At the time of writing, the account had 64,900 followers and more than 164,000 likes. A slideshow was uploaded to the account for the first post, which detailed why the campaign was started.
Newsweek is facing social media backlash after downplaying the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump by suggesting he was only hit with part of a bullet instead of an intact bullet.
The Newsweek article is titled “Donald Trump Might Not Have Been Shot After All.” Newsweek attempts to justify this title by pointing to testimony from FBI Director Christopher Wray, wherein Wray said, “…With respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear.” (X)

President Joe Biden's family and longtime, loyal staff cried as he addressed the nation about his decision to exit the 2024 campaign.
Biden was surrounded by his loved ones and those who helped make his political career as he spoke from the Oval Office. They applauded when he finished his 11-minute speech but they also wiped away tears.
First lady Jill Biden, his wife of 47 years, was the first by his side after he finished. She joined him at the Resolute Desk followed by son Hunter, who gave his dad a hug. Hunter's daughter Finnegan and the Bidens' daughter Ashley also hugged the president with Finnegan wiping away tears as she
As FBI Director Chris Wray performed his usual smarmy stonewalling in Congress Wednesday, a damning report on his $10 billion agency’s “cult of narcissism” was delivered to the House Judiciary Committee by an alliance of retired and active-duty agents and analysts.
The same group gave us the scathing DEI report last year about the FBI’s degraded recruitment standards and coddling of physically unfit, mentally ill, drug-taking or generally useless agents to satisfy diversity requirements at the expense of merit and experience.
Three teenagers were arrested Wednesday in the murder of the Ohio single mom who was struck by her own SUV when she tried to stop a carjacking as her young son sat in the backseat, cops said.
One of the suspects taken into custody by police was 16-year-old Ray-Yon Hawkins, who allegedly admitted to striking Alexa Stakely with the Honda in a panic after he tried to steal her ride with a couple of buddies earlier this month, authorities said.
Stakely, 29, smashed her head on the pavement after she was hit as the group of friends ditched the car a short distance away and fled on foot, Columbus police said.
Is Donald Trump safe?

Trump supporters cheered when we saw that the former president had survived the assassination attempt and pumped his fist in defiance and heroic resolve. We mourned the death of Corey Comperatore who died heroically protecting his family from harm, and we prayed for David Dutch and James Copenhaver who were seriously wounded by the assassin’s bullets.
In the days afterwards, we’ve been overwhelmed with the tumult surrounding the Secret Service’s epic and compounded failures in securing the rally site and allowing an unsophisticated,
Ouch! That's the only thing I could think to say in response to reading the order handed down by U.S. District Court Judge Mark Scarsi on Wednesday requiring Hunter Biden's legal team to show cause why they should not be sanctioned for making false statements in their recently filed motion to dismiss. While Hunter was presumably focused on his father's Oval Office address, his attorneys were getting lit up by a federal judge.Here's what happened: On July 15th, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the Florida criminal case against former President Donald Trump regarding his alleged improper retention of classified documents on the basis that Special Counsel Jack Smith's appointment violated
