10 Things I Loved About Joe Biden's Oval
Office Address
Posted By: Imright, 7/25/2024 10:32:25 PM
President Joe Biden's Wednesday night Oval Office address has been widely panned on the right (and much ballyhooed on the left). After nearly a week of no visible sign of the president and coming on the heels of his COVID diagnosis and rather odd Sunday Twitter announcement of his bowing out of the 2024 presidential race, his remarks were highly anticipated — from multiple perspectives.Here at RedState, we had a spirited liveblog of the event and, yes, spent much of it snarking at the production (and the, uh, substance of Biden's remarks). But I have a confession to make: I actually liked the speech. Maybe even loved it.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) praised the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Paris, France, as being “imaginative, inventive and memorable.”
The opening ceremony featured an opening dance number that showed women being “flung around on poles,” while another dance number showed three dancers, two men and a woman, who had been dancing through the streets, going up the stairs of a building as they began kissing. The dancers then went into a room and began to kiss some more. Lady Gaga also sang French songs in a prerecorded opening, while Celine Dion sang from the Eiffel Tower.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals responded to Jack Smith’s bid to appeal Judge Cannon’s decision to dismiss the classified documents case against President Trump.
The appeals court provided a schedule that requires Trump and Jack Smith to file briefs through October, Politico reported.
Jack Smith’s chances of reviving the case will not happen before the election after all the legal briefs are filed and the court hears oral arguments.
Special counsel Jack Smith’s bid to revive the classified documents case against Donald Trump appears unlikely to be resolved or even argued in court before Election Day.
Politico reported:
Kamala Harris regularly seems like a parody of a vice president, but a new fake campaign ad created by a social media creator who goes by the name “Mr Reagan” hysterically points out her serious flaws as a presidential candidate and shows why we should be terrified at the thought of her taking on the job of commander in chief.Mr Reagan makes it clear that the ad is not genuine and titles it simply “Kamala Harris Campaign Ad PARODY.” Then he brandishes his sarcasm scalpel and rips the VP’s speaking style and horrendous record to shreds.
Anti-Israel protestors and Hamas sympathizers who desecrated Washington, D.C.'s Union Station have learned their fates.
A minimum of eight people who participated in the anti-Israel protest during Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech Wednesday are now facing federal criminal charges after defacing federal property and fighting police.
Some protestors, however, have had their charges dropped by more lenient Washington, D.C. prosecutors. Frederick Coates, Crow Momamome and Antonio Somerville have all been charged with attempting to carry a dangerous weapon, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in D.C.
Nathaniel Lawrence, Sonia Krishan and Roger Miller have been charged with attempted theft.

A crew of drag queens and dancers performed an apparent “parody of the Last Supper” at the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony Friday, drawing intense criticism across social media.
“This is crazy. Opening your event by replacing Jesus and the disciples at the Last Supper with men in drag,” Clint Russel, the host of the Liberty Lockdown podcast, fumed on X.
“There are 2.4 billion Christians on earth and apparently the Olympics wanted to declare loudly to all of them, right out of the gate NOT WELCOME,” said Russel.

Biden’s Disastrous Withdrawal From Afghanistan (Video) 1 reply
Democrats and the media don’t like to talk about it, but Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 was one of the things that led to his downfall.
You can look at a graph of Biden’s approval rating and pinpoint the exact moment of the withdrawal. His approval numbers went upside down and never recovered.
Now that the media is desperately trying to rewrite history, it’s important to remember that Kamala Harris was part of that process and even defended it months later.
Harris even tried to take credit for it.
Kamala Harris' top vice president pick has been dragged into a shocking sexual harassment scandal.
Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, 51, is in the running to take Harris' job as vice president should she beat Donald Trump in November.
Harris has so far requested materials from Shapiro as part of a vetting process that includes several governors of swing states that could be an asset to her efforts.But a Pennsylvania Democrat who will be on the ticket this November is accusing Shapiro of being involved in a cover-up and even made a shocking prediction regarding how he might wreck Harris' campaign.
The FBI clarified Friday that a bullet struck former President Donald Trump during an attempt against his life in a rally on July 13.
An attempted assassin present near a Trump rally in Pennsylvania on July 13 opened fire and injured the former president before he was neutralized by the Secret Service. FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress on Thursday that there were still “some questions” as to what exactly had struck Trump during the assassination attempt, whether it was a “bullet or shrapnel,” though did not directly mention whether glass fragments could be responsible, a theory that has been used by some in the media.
Former President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he will be returning to the town where he survived an assassination attempt earlier this month to hold a rally honoring those who were shot.
The former president was shot by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks on July 13 during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, as he spoke to thousands of supporters who were in attendance.
“I WILL BE GOING BACK TO BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA, FOR A BIG AND BEAUTIFUL RALLY, HONORING THE SOUL OF OUR BELOVED FIREFIGHTING HERO, COREY, AND THOSE BRAVE PATRIOTS INJURED TWO WEEKS AGO,” Trump posted
Advice to Israel: Get it done in Gaza fast and get to it with Hezbollah soon, because it’s a 50-50 proposition that Kamala Harris is going to be president in January.
And she is coming after you.
In her first major statement as the presumptive Democratic nominee, Harris began by saying Israel has the right to defend itself against terrorism.
Some commenters said she was therefore speaking supportive words. That is absurd on its face.
It actually goes without saying that every nation, in every circumstance, has the right to defend itself against terrorism, since terrorism is the act of deploying political violence against non-combatants. That includes bad nations, and mean nations,

Trump Assassination Attempt Task Force

On Tuesday, the House announced a task force to investigate the July 13 assassination attempt against former and potentially future President Donald Trump. It was a rare move of unanimity, as the plan to set up the task force passed by a vote of 416-0. The task force will be comprised of 13 members, Republicans and Democrats. One of the Democrats being considered is Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), which is raising eyebrows and causing outrage.The Friday morning newsletter from Punchbowl News references Goldman and even mentions that he's "seen as a strong candidate for the panel."
New York Attorney General Letitia James has warned the Supreme Court not to intervene in the sham hush-money case against Donald Trump.
Her warning comes after Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, a Republican, petitioned the Supreme Court for permission to file a complaint against the state of New York that would delay Trump’s September sentencing hearing and lift all his speech restrictions on the case.
Bailey argued that these restrictions represent an infringment on the right of Missourians to hear from prospective presidential candidates.

The FBI wants to question Donald Trump about his near-death experience when he survived an assassination attempt earlier this month.
It has yet to receive a victim statement from the former president as it collects evidence to investigate the horrifying event, one official said.
The bureau's director Christopher Wray sparked a firestorm on Wednesday when he testified to lawmakers on Capitol Hill that there are still 'some question' about whether the former president was struck with a bullet or shrapnel. In a subsequent statement he sought to clarify that remark.
Trump was quick to refute any suggestion that he was hit by shrapnel, saying
Both former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama have officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
The Harris campaign released a video early Friday morning showing the likely Democratic presidential nominee taking a call from the political power couple where they reveal they're endorsing her.
The video was filmed Wednesday in Indianapolis, where Harris traveled to address the Zeta Phi Beta sorority. The couple's decision to stay silent for days on Harris's candidacy had fueled speculation they weren't supportive of her bid.
The Justice Department agreed to pay former FBI special agent Peter Strzok a $1.2 settlement over the release of his anti-Trump text messages.
Peter Strzok sued the DOJ for ‘unlawfully disclosing’ his text messages to his paramour Lisa Page.
Strzok and Lisa Page discussed an “insurance policy” to keep Trump out of office.
“I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office…that there’s no way [Trump] gets elected…but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk,” Strzok text messaged to Page in an Aug. 15, 2016 exchange, referring to Andrew McCabe.
This Is Why Kamala Is Horrible

Like it or not, I believe Kamala will be the 47th president of the United States. No, I don't think the Mad Cackler can beat Trump, but I do believe President Shartshispants is going to resign before Inauguration Day, making Harris the 47th president and checking a ton of boxes for those who pray to the false god of DEI.
FACT-O-RAMA! The Democrats would likely install Harris as #47 just to p**s off those of us with Trump 45-47 swag.
Needless to say, I'm odds and ends when it comes to attacking Kamala Harridan. I've got a junk drawer full of reasons she's a troglodyte.

Vice President Kamala Harris said the public should no longer use the terms "radical Islamic terrorism" and "illegal alien" during a speech she gave at a Los Angeles mosque in July 2016.
"We must have the courage to object when they use that term, ‘radical Islamic terrorism,’ which ignores how Muslims have overwhelmingly been the greatest victims of terror," she told the crowd at the Islamic Center of Southern California. "We must also have the courage to reject the term ‘illegal alien.’"
Harris’s remarks, which are available on her Facebook page, are yet another example of her history

Donald Trump tore into FBI Director Christopher Wray Thursday after the bureau head raised questions about whether the former president was actually struck by a bullet when a would-be assassin opened fire at his campaign rally earlier this month.
“FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress yesterday that he wasn’t sure if I was hit by shrapnel, glass, or a bullet (the FBI never even checked!), but he was sure that Crooked Joe Biden was physically and cognitively ‘uneventful’ – Wrong!” Trump wrote on Truth Social, getting in a dig at President Biden as well.
Wray was answering questions during a House Judiciary Committee meeting on Wednesday when he said there was
Kamala Harris was all smiles when she arrived at Joe Biden's former Delaware campaign headquarters on Monday.
She was there to lift the spirits of blindsided staffers, who after 15 months of toiling to re-elect the president, suddenly found themselves working for her.
'It is my great honor to have Joe's endorsement in this race,' she boasted to cheers from a crowd who were now on her payroll.But as the assembled readily applauded, some must have harbored private concerns.
For, behind the recent public self-branding of Harris as a kindly, jovial 'Momala', she has earned a nasty reputation as an alleged 'soul-destroying' workplace 'bully'.
In a heated discussion on the latest episode of his podcast, content creator Anton Daniels confronted the troubling implications of identity politics when a guest openly admitted she would vote for Vice President Kamala Harris solely because she is a black woman.
During the episode, Paige of the Pressher Podcast said she’s voting for Kamala, saying, “I’m going to just be real honest with this. She’s a black woman.”
You could see the disappointment in the room when Paige said that she’s only voting Kamala because of identity politics.
The admission elicited an immediate reaction from Daniels, who challenged her
Former President Barack Obama, one of the most prominent holdouts among Democratic party luminaries, and his wife, former First Lady Michelle Obama, have officially given Vice President Kamala Harris their endorsement for the presidency.

“Earlier this week, Michelle and I called our friend @KamalaHarris,” the former POTUS wrote on X Friday.
How Many Progressives Wanted Trump to Die?

First of all, some perspective on polls. I have had some experience with polls and pollsters during my time in the media. The results of any poll are dependent on, among other things, the demographic contacted, the number of people polled, the questions that pollsters ask, and the way they phrase those questions. And it is not unheard of for organizations to conduct polls to obtain a desired result. So it is always wise to take the results of any poll with a few shakers of salt.
Be that as it may, if the information about a recent poll that the Daily Mail highlighted is at all indicative of the
Trump leads 50%-43%, no Harris bump

So much for the expected polling bump for Vice President Kamala Harris.
In three surveys since she became the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, Harris has failed to overtake former President Donald Trump as his campaign feared would happen.
Instead, the race remains where it has been for months, with Trump leading Harris both in new national head-to-head and battleground state surveys.
Just out is the latest Rasmussen Reports poll shared with Secrets and taken over the past three nights. It shows Trump leading Harris with likely voters 50%-43%, well outside the margin of error.
That is just a 1-point increase for Harris over Rasmussen’s last Biden-Trump head-to-head survey
Calling Seymour Hersh!
The investigative journalist who broke the story about the CIA blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines may be the only reporter brave enough to pierce the veil of secrecy surrounding the political coup that was waged against President Joe Biden this summer.
It looked for all the world as though Biden would survive his June 27 debate debacle. Biden had revealed himself to be woefully unprepared to challenge Donald Trump effectively in what many have called the most significant election of our lifetimes. Republicans warned that Biden was showing signs of senility or even dementia, and even Democrats worried
