Trump Unloads on Chris Wray After FBI
Boss Bizarrely Questions Whether He Was
Actually Shot
Posted By: Dreadnought, 7/25/2024 10:00:36 PM
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.

Ukraine’s surprise incursion into Russia’s Kursk region has continued into a second day, prompting Vladimir Putin to convene a meeting with his top defence and law enforcement officials.
A report from one Russia military blogger suggested Ukrainian forces had advanced northwards, possibly as far as nine miles (15km) from the border, along a highway north of the border village of Sverdlikovo and near a major natural gas transmission hub, but this could not be verified. Official and unofficial Russian sources reported that a force of several hundred soldiers had crossed a lightly defended part of the border on Tuesday morning, in what appears to be one of the largest

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour shows in Vienna have been canceled due to what Austrian police say was a planned terrorist attack targeting the concerts.

This New York Times Editorial Is So Unhinged

It Can Only Be Described As ‘Bat-Crap Crazy' 11 replies
The concept in journalism of offering your platform for a diversity of voices and alternative opinions is generally a noble pursuit. But this does not mean that in that process, you need to abandon the use of common sense and subjective editorial oversight. I say this because it appears that at the New York Times, they just flung open their op-ed space to anyone with a modicum of literacy while displaying a rather imbalanced mindset.
I say this based on a recent “guest essay” that appeared in the opinion pages of the Times, written by book author Belle Boggs. Her entry is about an episode that transpired inside her home,
Wednesday morning, Senator JD Vance was giving public remarks on the campaign trail when he mentioned his opponent Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and his "controversial" military service record. Vance then laid into Walz, essentially calling him a coward, and rightly so, when he mentioned Walz's decision to abandon his troops right before they deployed to Iraq in 2004. To be perfectly clear, I 100 percent agree with Vance in his remarks, though because I am not running for Vice President of the United States, I would be much more colorful in my language describing Walz and his shameful behavior. Walz is absolutely a coward and a liar, and
The number of abortions performed in the U.S. has increased since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide, a report released Wednesday found.
In the first three months of 2024, an average of 98,990 abortions were performed per month, according to a new study by the pro-choice Society of Family Planning (SFP), compared to 84,000 per month in the two months before the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision in June 2022.
Although abortions have decreased in the 14 states with abortion restrictions, they increased in states with liberal abortion access,
Israel vowed to kill Hamas’s new political leader, Yahya Sinwar, after his predecessor was assassinated in a suspected Israeli operation last month.
Hamas named Sinwar, the mastermind behind the terrorist group’s October 7 massacre of Israeli citizens and one of Israel’s top targets, as its new political chief on Tuesday following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh on July 31. Haniyeh was killed by a bomb that had been hidden by Israeli operatives weeks earlier in the apartment he was staying in while visiting allies in Iran, the New York Times reported.

The attempt by the Kamala Harris campaign to reach out to the new celebrities to help promote her campaign is not going well as huge streamers and influencers are turning her down, with a few even openly supporting Donald Trump.
As reported on Tuesday night by Rawsalerts, Twitch streamer Kai Cenat, a person with almost 13 million followers, said he'd been getting calls from the Secret Service and the Harris campaign, requesting they do a collaboration, but Cenat made it clear that he's not interested.

Progressives suffered a major blow in Tuesday night’s primaries as Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) became the second “squad” member to lose to a challenger this cycle.
Coming just hours after Vice President Harris announced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate in a move seen as a win for the progressive wing of the party, Bush’s loss put internal party frictions over the Israel-Hamas war on full display. Along with Missouri, voters also headed to the polls in Kansas, Michigan and Washington state to set up key matchups for November.
Here are five takeaways:
A lot of people don't realize that George Washington didn't win the Revolutionary War by being a master class tactician. His reputation as one is kind of mixed, actually. His main strength came from being able to pull his army through difficult times that would have stopped other armies cold. He outlasted his opponent until they succumbed to the problems he overcame through sheer grit and determination. Your opponent can be larger, better funded, well-connected, and technologically superior, but if you can last five minutes longer than they can, then all their advantages don't matter.

Democrats at a rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday to welcome Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate chanted “Lock him up!” after she attacked former President Donald Trump.
Karris repeated a portion of the speech she delivered to Democratic campaign headquarters last month.
On that occasion, she said:
As many of you know, before I was elected as Vice President, before I was elected as United States Senator, I was the elected Attorney General as I’ve mentioned to California, and before that I was a courtroom prosecutor. In those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women, fraudsters
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) referred to a crude sex joke based on a fake meme to make fun of rival Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) during a rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate.
“I can’t wait to debate the guy,” Walz said, to cheers. Then he added: “That is, if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.”
The crowd roared with laughter.
“You see what I did there?” he said, clearly aware of the joke. The joke refers to a meme that claims Vance had sex with a couch, based on a fake citation from his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy.
Dell has made another round of layoffs, which The Register understands have cut deep and seen even company veterans let go.
HR exit meetings kicked off on Tuesday morning, spurring a wave of LinkedIn status changes, while others found comfort venting or trading information in online forums.
Dell confirmed the layoffs to The Register.
"Through a reorganization of our go-to-market teams and an ongoing series of actions, we are becoming a leaner company. We are combining teams and prioritizing where we invest across the company. We continually evolve our business, so we're set up to deliver the best innovation, value and service to our customers and partners," Dell told The Register by email.

Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota's progressive governor Tim Walz as her running mate after weeks of speculation, according to CNN.
The 60-year-old father-of-two, who has been married to his teacher wife Gwen since 1994, joins the ticket in a victory for the progressive left of the party who were concerned about some of the other contenders' support of Israel.
In Minnesota he has codified the right to abortion, signed universal free school meals, legalized recreational marijuana and gave voting rights to former prisoners.
President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Joe Biden will attempt to reclaim the Democratic nomination after it was “stolen” by Kamala Harris.
This comment comes in light of recent announcements confirming Harris’s position as the Democrat presidential nominee, following a controversial series of events leading to Biden’s abrupt withdrawal from the 2024 race.
Last week, DNC Chair Jaime Harrison announced that Harris has amassed enough delegates to secure her place at the top of the ticket, with final results expected to be confirmed on Monday.
Despite never winning a primary election, Harris has now found herself positioned as the official Democrat nominee.
Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s wife, Gwen, said she left her windows open to “smell the burning tires” during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots because she felt it was a “touchstone” moment. An interview clip with Gwen Walz discussing the 2020 riots and her reaction to them resurfaced online Tuesday after Vice President Kamala Harris announced she would be choosing the Minnesota governor as her running mate for the 2024 election. In the interview, which was aired on KSTP-TV’s “5 Eyewitness News Nightcast” channel,
As recently as last week, Kamala Harris appeared to be on the cusp of picking Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.) as her running mate. Despite the progressive backlash against him and a slew of scandalous leaks, he was the runaway frontrunner in the betting odds as conventional wisdom held that Kamala needed a "moderate" swing state Democrat to help expand her path to 270 Electoral College votes.
Shapiro's chances remained high even after he faced serious allegations by a fellow Democrat of covering up harassment in his office. The sexual harassment cover-up didn't take Shapiro out of contention, and neither did another cover-up — this one involving murder.
Vice President Kamala Harris selecting Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate on Tuesday caused NBC's cast of characters to gush with praise. Throughout the coverage, Walz would be called a “moderate” who can win over Republicans and a "progressive" who can appease Muslim and Arab voters upset with President Joe Biden on Israel while also being lauded for looking “like a lot of dads,” while the Harris-Walz ticket was described as a “beautiful mosaic.”
White House correspondent Gabe Gutierrez’s biography of Walz recalled, “After moving to Minnesota, he volunteered for John Kerry’s presidential campaign, and in an upset, he was elected to Congress in 2006.
Rep. Cori Bush, a radical Marxist representing St. Louis City in Congress, lost her primary race on Tuesday night to another far left radical – Wesley Bell, the St. Louis County Prosecutor.
Both Bush and Bell launched their “political” careers as protest leaders during the Mike Brown protests and riots in 2014.
Bush was vehemently anti-Israel in her remarks and policies. Bell was endorsed by AIPAC.
Bell took out Bush last night in St. Louis. (X) Following her loss, Cori Bush went off on an angry, unhinged, and threatening rant.
Stress on the body caused by racism may cut African American women’s lives short, according to a recent study by neuroscientists at Harvard and Emory universities.
Their research, published in the journal JAMA Network Open in June, found a connection between “higher self-reported racial discrimination” and “DNA methylation age acceleration” among black women.
“Racism steals time from people’s lives – possibly because of the space it occupies in the mind,” lead researchers Negar Fani and Nathaniel Harnett wrote in an article this week at The Conversation.
Fani is a professor at Emory and Harnett at Harvard, both in the areas of psychiatry and neuroscience.
In recent years, signs that Satan’s minions rule the temporal world have proven impossible to ignore.
After all, if the prince of darkness had decided to troll us all for his own diabolical amusement, then surely he would have done exactly what the administration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris has done.
On July 19, amid global calamities on a scale unseen since World War II, the Biden-Harris administration announced a plan to eliminate the deadly scourge of plastic silverware. “Communities across the United States and around the world are facing a plastic pollution crisis,” a White House statement began.
It only got worse from there.
A federal complaint unsealed on Tuesday in Brooklyn has charged Asif Merchant, also known as “Asif Raza Merchant,” a 46-year-old Pakistani national, with murder-for-hire in connection with a foiled assassination plot targeting a politician or U.S. government officials on American soil.
The plot was thwarted by law enforcement before any attack could be executed. Merchant is currently in federal custody in New York, according to the press release.
FBI investigators believe that the intended targets of the plot included Trump and other current and former U.S. government officials, according to a U.S. official briefed on the matter, per CNN.
The New Yorker set out to write a total, ruinous take-down of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday to force the nephew of Camelot to bow down to commie Kamalot. RFK Jr. took the story, utterly destroyed and exquisitely mocked it, and hilariously commanded his own story—a scoop— that the magazine had hoped would horrify voters but instead made me laugh harder than I have in years.
RFK Jr. put his own story out on X, taunting The New Yorker, "Looking forward to seeing how you spin this, @NewYorker."
Kennedy obviously got a head's up the story was coming and decided he'd get in front of it, scooping the magazine.
Sarah will have more on how Tampon Timmy ran off like a scared wombat when his unit got deployed to Iraq later today, but if Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN) wants to be a good surrogate, she can’t come off like this. Smith came off like an avid watcher of ABC's The View: dumb and uninformed while pounding white wine. While comparing records, the Minnesota Democrat said she wasn’t aware of any military service done by JD Vance, a former Marine who served in the Iraq War.
Rep. Cori Bush (D) lost her primary in Missouri on Tuesday in the latest blow to the progressive “squad” on Capitol Hill, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ.
Bush’s loss to St. Louis Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell in the 1st Congressional District’s Democratic primary makes her the second member of the group to lose reelection after Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) earlier this year.
