Oliver Darcy, the author of CNN‘s influential “Reliable Sources” newsletter, has left the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed outlet, leaving the direction of the company’s media-industry franchise in doubt.
A new newsletter from Darcy, called “Status,” landed in email inboxes Thursday morning.
“Drawing on a deep well of sourcing and industry expertise, ‘Status’ delivers hard-hitting reporting and unflinching analysis on the Fourth Estate, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley,” Darcy wrote in an email delivered via the Beehiv platform. “There will be no sugarcoating, no pulling punches, no sparing sensitive egos

It has been almost three weeks since Vice President Kamala Harris launched her presidential campaign after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race. She still has not held a press conference.
Of course, this isn’t to say Harris’ presence has not been felt on the political stage. She has been traveling to swing states and holding rallies to gin up support for her campaign.
The vice president recently made waves on Tuesday by announcing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. Yet, Harris appears to be avoiding interactions with the press at all costs.

Kamala Harris became visibly angry on Wednesday when her rally in Detroit was interrupted by pro-Hamas protesters. Members of the group "Uncommitted" began shouting multiple times, leading to Harris scowling and chastizing them as wanting Donald Trump to win the election. It was an awkward moment for a candidate who has remained completely insulated and free of any adversarial confrontations since she became the presumptive nominee. Her supporters quickly sought to spin the exchange as an example of her toughness, claiming she demonstrated what a tough woman who takes charge looks like. There's always more to the story, though.

When Kamala Harris announced the selection of pro-abort, anti-gun Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as a running mate on Tuesday, the Democrats thought they'd hit a trifecta. They have a Midwestern (though, in fairness, Minnesota is much more of an ersatz Canada than Midwestern) veteran high school coach to take the edge off Kamala's particularly nutty form of Marxism. Things haven't worked out that way.
Within hours of Walz's announcement, it became apparent that his military service was characterized by opportunism and selfishness rather than the servant leadership that is the tradition of the United States Army. RedState has covered the issue exhaustively since it emerged.

A recently surfaced recording of a Zoom call between the Biden/Harris team from 2020 reveals disconcerting evidence of the team's intentional targeting and manipulation of voters and relentless bullying of media outlets to control information. As RedState previously reported, the Missouri v. Biden (now styled Murthy v. Missouri) case is one of the most important free speech cases of recent years. Originally, the Fifth Circuit had ruled in favor of Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and entered an injunction against the officials accused of censorship. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court later ruled that the plaintiffs did not have proper standing.

Do you remember this coordinated arson attack on the French rail system? Beege wrote about it here. It happened just about two weeks ago as the Olympics were starting in Paris. Some unknown group set fires that wound up snarling the country's high-speed rail system for most of the day. On the day it happened there was no claim of responsibility so everyone was left wondering. What authorities did know was that whoever did it had a detailed knowledge of the French system.
As the country’s train system jewel, the high-speed network remains its most protected, Mr. Dansart said, with fences, security cameras, protected access doors

Let's ask the true question of our time ... do Republicans actually "pounce"? Or do they "seize"? Enquiring minds want to know!
The answer: Republicans have seized a moment in this election cycle largely handed to them by the Kamala Harris campaign. By picking a relatively obscure governor as a running mate, Democrats handed Donald Trump and the GOP a golden opportunity to redefine their opposition.
And Trump's making the most of it, when he can remained disciplined enough to stay on message. The selection of Tim Walz and his hard-Left policies has allowed Trump to return to the ideological argument, calling him a "shocking pick" for the election.

Vice President Kamala Harris has not given one interview or press conference to the media in the 17 days since she joined the presidential race.
She has given a few speeches, in which she has repeated the same script — first to campaign headquarters, then to party supporters in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she introduced running mate Tim Walz on Tuesday.
Her only unscripted remarks came last week at Andrews Air Force Base, when she joined President Joe Biden to welcome Americans who had been freedom from Russia in a prisoner swap.
Harris, in her characteristic style, made circular remarks

Donald Trump praised Tim Walz’s response as Minnesota governor to civil justice protests in 2020, undercutting a Republican line of attack against the newly minted vice presidential candidate, according to a recording that emerged Wednesday.
Trump — who wanted state authorities to take tough measures to address the civil unrest that erupted around the nation in response to the killing by police of George Floyd in Minneapolis — told governors on a conference call that Walz responded well.
“I know Gov. Walz is on the phone, and we spoke, and I fully agree with the way he handled it the last couple of days,” he said,

Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz have adopted an interesting strategy for winning the presidency. The campaign is showcasing a conspicuous shift in tone and strategy: Projecting an image of positivity and joy.
It appears the media has already gotten the memo and is actively helping to brand the Harris/Walz campaign as “happy warriors” fighting for the American people. It’s an interesting approach, but will it be enough to secure a victory for Harris?
When Harris announced Walz as her running mate in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, the two candidates adopted a more positive messaging approach. “We are joyful warriors,” Harris declared to raucous applause

I argued with anyone who said that, just because "President" Biden had chosen not to run for re-election, he was therefore unfit to serve out his term as president and needed to step down at once. My argument was that it's perfectly possible for an 82-year-old to be a fit leader for another five months while also acknowledging that another four and a half years would be too much. And I stand by that argument because it was always hypothetical; it could be true for any 82-year-old.
