So now it's the Federal Reserve that's going to either taint the November election or tank the economy.
"Delivering a rate cut ahead of the election could rile up Republicans and former President Donald Trump," the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, "but withholding a needed reduction could undermine the economy and upset Democrats."
Never mind that high rates are what's keeping inflation in check and that we've been told for three years that Bidenomics has delivered an economy so strong that it kicks sand in the face of 7% mortgages and 9% car loans.
The facts are that full-time, private-sector jobs are still well below pre-lockdown levels

PARIS – Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who failed a gender eligibility test last year, won her opening bout at the Paris Olympics in just 46 seconds on Thursday against her distraught opponent.
Khelif advanced to the quarterfinals of the women's 66kg category after unloading two strong punches on Angela Carini, who shrugged off attempts by the Algerian to shake her hand and collapsed to her knees in floods of tears.
An Italian coach said Carini had suffered a badly hurt nose and the official decision was listed as an abandonment.
Khelif and Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting, who fights on Friday at 57kg, were disqualified from the world championships

Israel claimed on Thursday that it killed Hamas’ top military commander, Mohammad Deif, during a strike earlier in July.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said it launched a strike in Gaza on July 13 while targeting two top Hamas leaders. Deif, who the IDF said was the mastermind behind the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7, was one of the targets.
"Mohammed Deif, the top military commander of Hamas, was the target of an Israeli strike today in al-Mawasi," two Israeli sources told Fox News Digital after the attack.
There was no confirmation of Deif’s death until Thursday. "Muhammad Deif, the ‘Osama Bin Laden of Gaza,’ was eliminated on

Bill Gates was at one point the 'brightest star' in Jeffrey Epstein's orbit but became a target for the late pedophile after their short-lived partnership collapsed, a new book claims.
Epstein had set his sights on Gates in 2010 when the Microsoft founder and fellow billionaire Warren Buffett launched The Giving Pledge, a charitable campaign under which they vowed to donate 99 percent of their wealth.
To Epstein, their charitable initiative was a potential new 'way to make money' and restore his public image, according to new biography, Billionaire, Nerd, Savior, King: Bill Gates and His Quest to Shape Our World.
It would allow Epstein to launder his reputation

This might be one of the more egregious recent examples of a deliberate effort by a social media site to put its thumb on the political scale favoring Democrats over Republicans. Facebook is admitting that labeling the iconic photo of a blood-streaked Trump raising his fist in defiance after the attempt on his life as "misinformation" as "an error."
“Yes, this was an error,” Dani Lever of Meta wrote on X. Her post was in response to Charlie Kirk's observation that Facebook was not allowing users to share the photo, the New York Post reported.
“This fact check was initially applied to a doctored photo showing the secret service

Bella Hadid has spoken out about her involvement in Adidas’ controversial Munich Olympics-themed ad that sparked outrage.
On Monday, the model and activist posted a message to her Instagram Story, expressing her “disappointment in the lack of sensitivity that went into this campaign.”
“I would never knowingly engage with any art or work that is linked to a horrific tragedy of any kind,” she wrote. Earlier this month, the brand unveiled an ad featuring Hadid holding a “coveted classic” sneaker from the ’70s to honor the 52nd anniversary of the Munich Olympics.

Three people have been arrested and two others are being sought for the ambush killing of Florida rapper Julio Foolio last month, officials said.
The 26-year-old victim, whose legal name was Charles Jones, died on 23 June after his vehicle came under a barrage of gunfire in a car park of a hotel in Tampa.
Hotel surveillance footage released by police shows the attackers dressed in black wearing masks as they take up their positions in the car park, opening fire with two semi-automatic rifles and one pistol.
The rapper was killed during a weekend of birthday events that he had previously announced on social media.

Venezuelan Dictator Nicolas Maduro was declared the "winner" of the presidential election by the nation's election council on Monday morning. That came after exit polls showed him losing by as much as 30 points. Reports of Maduro's armed thugs closing down polling sites and stealing ballot boxes were prevalent throughout the process, all but confirming that the election was indeed stolen. What happens next is clear. Maduro will strengthen his grip on power instead of stepping down peacefully. As the saying goes, you can vote your way into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out.

Want to see the dichotomy of the media on display? Consider how, over the course of 2024, there has been no shortage of energetic coverage of Donald Trump and his lawfare trials. Not just the courtroom antics either, as Trump’s mugshot was blasted across every broadcast for the better part of a week. For at least two of the indictments, we were granted live coverage of Trump commuting to the airport to fly to the destination of his court appearance.
Despite the hyperventilating coverage of the former president’s legal wranglings, other court cases involving the media are receiving scant attention; this is for obvious reasons.

Key West, Florida — In quirky Key West, Florida, it's not just tourists flocking to town, feral chickens have found their tropical paradise.
And Key West City Commissioner Clayton Lopez has got a beef. They're "everywhere," he says, with entire chicken families often seen crossing roads.
A resolution introduced by Lopez, which is now law, bans feeding chickens on public property.
"What I am looking to do is to try and address the health issues of humans, as well as the chickens," Lopez said.
The chickens can cause property damage and their droppings can spread disease. The chickens are sometimes run over by cars, and chicks can fall into storm drains.

It's been a week since Joe Biden left the presidential race, and he's barely been seen in public. After a fumbling Oval Office address on Thursday in which he failed to offer any explanation for his sudden departure, the president headed off to Camp David. That would be the same Camp David he hid out at before the debate performance that exposed his worsening mental and physical condition. In other words, his heading back to hunker down there is a pretty big sign of how bad off he is. Biden just suffered the most embarrassing moment of his career, clearly due to worsening health.
