What I Saw at ‘White Dudes for Harris’
Posted By: Moritz55, 7/31/2024 10:51:45 PM
Monday night, I watched the livestream of the “White Dudes for Harris” fundraiser. Our host, a thirtysomething political operative with a man-bun and a beard, was upfront: some people didn’t feel comfortable with this event. But, he argued, white men feel lonely; they’re struggling in the new economy and feeling forgotten. MAGA has co-opted masculinity, he said, and the left has ceded white guys to the right-wing. “But,” he declared, “that stops tonight.” He then introduced the first guest speaker: a black guy. If you’re wondering why the Harris campaign organized an event just for white guys—so am I.

JD Vance shuts down CNN reporter when

asked about Trump's Kamala comments: 'She's

Sen. JD Vance fired back at a CNN reporter who asked him whether former President Trump's comments about Kamala Harris' race were concerning to him as a "father of three biracial children." Vance visited the U.S. southern border on Thursday where he attacked Harris' record as the border czar during a press conference in Cochise County, Arizona. At one point on the trip, CNN correspondent Steve Contorno asked the vice presidential contender about Trump's comment a day earlier, when he told a crowd at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention that Harris "became a Black person," after years of identifying as Indian.
On Monday, President Biden proposed two reforms to the Supreme Court—term limits for justices and a binding ethics code—along with a constitutional amendment to its recent presidential-immunity decision. Making his case in a Washington Post op-ed, the president claimed broad support and specifically thanked “the bipartisan Presidential Commission on the [SCOTUS] for its insightful analysis, which informed some of these proposals.”
But there’s a problem with Biden trying to use the commission to give his proposals legitimacy. Adam White, who served as a member of that commission, tells The Free Press that “nothing in our report actually recommended anything” that the president is now proposing.
Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., is seeking to raise the equivalent of a gold medal for an Olympic athlete who was defeated by an opponent who previously failed gender eligibility tests. Italian boxer Angela Carini competed in the 66-kilogram women’s division Olympic boxing match Thursday, but abandoned the fight just 45 seconds in after getting hit by her opponent, who was deemed to have male chromosomes.
Carini left the match against Algerian boxer Imane Khelif in tears, saying later: "I didn't give up, but one punch hurt too much, and so I said enough."
"Enough is enough," Boebert told Fox News
With the ascension of Saint Kamala, we are now watching the Mean Girl rebranding of the Democratic Party.
It has to be the biggest miscalculation in political history.
As polls show America’s young men are lurching rightward at a rapid pace, the Democratic brand has finally evolved into the party of scolding shrews, nagging Karens and “preachy females,” as Dem dinosaur James Carville calls them. Its image is tied to a type of unserious, self-involved, neurotic, dogmatic Dem-fem who insists on telling you her pronouns and whose highest goal is abortion on demand right up until the moment of birth.
Republicans are just waking up to the horror that they’ve been had.
The Trump campaign seems blindsided by Kamala Harris. Having avoided the ordeal of a primary, Harris dances onto the national scene appearing well-rested and unscathed. In polls, she is already tied with Trump—erasing his sizable lead in just one week.
Scrambling to make sense of what just happened, J.D. Vance has called her extra-democratic appointment a “coup.” He has suggested it cheated voters out of the chance to pick their own nominee. But a “coup” involves regime change. This switcheroo involved none. That’s why you don’t see members of the Biden administration objecting.

The FBI has contracted the Israeli tech firm Cellebrite to help in its investigation into Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old Pennsylvania man who tried to kill former President Trump at a rally on July 13 and mortally wounded a supporter in the crowd instead, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation. American law enforcement agencies have tapped the company for years for its ability to break into smartphones from a range of Big Tech firms and using different mobile operating systems.
However, while a Cellebrite software patch helped investigators get into Crooks' phone within 24 hours of the shooting, the company is not privy to any
If the candidate was as compelling as the media pretends, they wouldn’t have to completely reinvent her. Remember that time Joe Biden named Vice President Kamala Harris the border czar, and we all watched her fail to do anything about the crisis?
You only think you do. Because Harris was never a czar. Not technically, since we don’t have czars in the United States. Everyone knows that. When Joe promised Kamala would “lead our efforts” to fix the border crisis, what he really meant was that the vice president would research some of the “root causes” during weekends, and maybe take a few diplomatic trips or whatnot. But czar, c’mon.

As Michael Kinsley defined it, a gaffe occurs when a politician accidentally tells the truth.
Joe Biden passed the test when he explained why he was pushing a radical overhaul of the Supreme Court.
It’s because Donald Trump made him do it. As Biden might say, “No joke, I’m serious!”
The cognitively challenged president has been shoved to the back of the bus after being driven out of the race by undemocratic Dems, which is perhaps why he admitted the truth.
Whatever the reason, Biden’s confession Monday at the LBJ Presidential Library perfectly captures the cause of the turmoil that has reshaped American public life in the last nine years.
America’s Lab Rats?
5 replies
Half the country thinks something has gone drastically wrong in America, to the point that it is rapidly becoming unrecognizable. Millions feel they are virtual lab rats in some grand research project conducted by entitled elites who could care less when the experiment blows up. Consider: Our military turns over $60 billion in state-of-the-art weapons to terrorists in Kabul and then flees in disgrace? Terrorist flags fly in place of incinerated Old Glory at the iconic Union Station in Washington as radical students and green card-holding guests deface statues with threats that “Hamas is coming” while spewing hatred toward Jews—and all with impunity?

Grassroots activists are warning Republicans that while former President Donald Trump has surged in momentum lately, the “belief that Democrats are in such disarray” following President Joe Biden’s ouster from the race could lead to dangerous “complacency.”
Trump currently leads Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, by 3 points nationwide, according to a recent CNN poll. RealClearPolitics has Trump up 2.1 percentage points in its polling average. But if President Joe Biden could win an election from his basement, and if Sen. John Fetterman could win his election despite being severely impaired from a stroke, then Harris can easily win this November if Republicans
Sen. JD Vance responded to attacks on his character and patriotism from the Democratic presidential candidate during a rally Saturday in St. Cloud, Minnesota:
SEN. JD VANCE: I saw the other day that Kamala Harris questioned my loyalty to this country. That's the word she used—loyalty. It's an interesting word --
AUDIENCE: Semper fi!
VANCE: Semper fi.
Loyalty -- because there is no greater sign of disloyalty to this country than what Kamala Harris has done at our southern border.
I'd like to ask the Vice President, what has she done to question my loyalty to this country? I served in the United States Marine Corps. I went to Iraq for this country. I built

Forty-six seconds. That was the sum total of time a female Italian boxer lasted in the ring at the Paris Olympics before she retired from a bout against against an Algerian fighter caught in an eligibility furore.
Twenty-five-year-old Imane Khalif was cleared to compete at the 2024 Olympics having earlier failed an unspecified testosterone level test. The contest Thursday between the mismatched pugilists shone fresh light on the controversy about athletes with abnormally high testosterone levels or other male characteristics being allowed to enter women’s sporting categories.
Critics of Vice President Kamala Harris claim she was only picked to be President Joe Biden’s running mate because of her race and the left’s goal of checking its DEI boxes.
Former President Donald Trump pointed just that out to a crowd during the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ).
"I've known her for a long time, indirectly, not directly… and she was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage," Trump said. "I didn't know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black. And now she wants to be known as Black.
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
This is a very significant policy proposal. President Trump is supporting a position that Seniors should not pay taxes on Social Security income.This comes on the heels of President Trump supported policy that income received from service tips should not be taxed.
Combined, both of these policies would result in massive numbers of middle-class Americans having more money in their bank accounts. The national economic benefits of these two combined policies are extremely significant and could actually offset the financial damage done by Joe Biden.
The timing of this announcement coincides with President Trump visiting Chicago.
SENIORS SHOULD NOT PAY TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY!
Imane Khelif has won her first bout after Italian opponent Angela Carini abandoned their bout after 46 seconds - with the Algerian boxer cleared to compete in the women's event amid an eligibility row. Carini was punched twice by Khelif in the opening round of their women's welterweight bout in Paris. The blows appeared to knock off the Italian boxer's chin strap, with the fighter moving over to her corner. Carini returned to the centre of the ring and abandoned the bout, leading to Khelif being declared as the winner.

Freudian slip?
Vice President Kamala Harris accidentally called herself the “president” Thursday while delivering a eulogy for late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), causing the crowd to go wild as she repeatedly corrected herself.
Harris, standing beside Democratic leaders including Bill and Hillary Clinton, was speaking in Houston about the late congresswoman’s long career in public service. She recalled that Jackson Lee introduced legislation to make Juneteenth – the day marking the end of slavery in the US – a federal holiday.
“Which as a US Senator, I was proud to co-sponsor and then as presi–” Harris said about her role in getting the bill through, before correcting herself.
Former CNN host Don Lemon is suing billionaire Elon Musk and X for abruptly canceling their agreement for Lemon to host a show on the platform.
Lemon filed a complaint Thursday in San Francisco court, accusing X of using Lemon’s stardom to boost the platform’s reputation, and failing to compensate him in accordance with the terms of the deal.
“Contrary to the promises and representations made to Lemon, once Defendants were enriched and gained the benefits of using Lemon’s name, likeness, identity, and reputation, they reneged on their express agreement with Lemon and have failed to compensate him, citing to false pretenses for their breach of the partnership agreement,” the lawsuit reads.
Republicans are just waking up to the horror that they’ve been had.

US prosecutors have reached a deal with 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the Pentagon said Wednesday, reportedly involving a guilty plea in exchange for avoiding a death penalty trial.
The agreements with Mohammed and two other accused moves their long-running cases toward resolution. These have been bogged down in pre-trial maneuverings for years while the defendants remained held at the Guantanamo Bay military base in Cuba. A Pentagon statement said no details of the deal would be immediately made public at this time, but the New York Times reported
The two illegal Jordanian migrants who are charged with trying to breach Marine Corps Base Quantico in May posted thousands of dollars in bail and were allowed to leave federal custody, The Post can exclusively reveal.
Hasan Yousef Hamdan, 32, and Mohammad Khair Dabous, 28, were released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention despite their immigration status — Hamdan had crossed into the country illegally in April and Dabous had overstayed his student visa and is subject to removal proceedings, law enforcement sources told The Post.
They were arrested on May 3 for trespassing onto the military installation and handed over to ICE officers because of their immigration statuses.
Imprisoned American journalist Evan Gershkovich will be freed from a Russian prison Thursday as part of a prisoner swap with Moscow, according to reports.
Gershkovich will return to the US after spending 16 months in Moscow’s notorious Lefortovo Prison alongside serial killers and other political prisoners, sources told Bloomberg News.
A senior Biden administration also told ABC News that Gershkovich will be released alongside former US Marine Paul Whelan in the extraordinary deal.
The conventional description of the American political system holds that Republicans represent the rich. Democrats, by contrast, are said to represent the “little guy,” including blue-collar workers and low-income minorities. The most Interesting thing about Donald Trump’s foray into politics is that he would like to turn that picture upside down. So maybe this is a good time to ask: Why do people vote the way they do?It’s certainly hard to square the conventional view with the way many sophisticated people vote. Among high-income voters, almost as many identify as Democrat as Republican. In general, the higher the level of education, the more liberal people say they are;
