Shocking videos from a vigil honoring the three Southport girls who were murdered in a stabbing attack show a large, angry crowd of men throwing bricks and other objects at police officers.
On Monday, July 29th, 17-year-old Axel Muganwa Rudakubana attacked girls between the ages of 6 and 11 at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party. Three girls were killed, 8 others were injured, with 5 being in critical condition. [snip] Initially, police did not want to share the identity of the suspect due to his age. However, once it was released, we can infer another reason why potentially it was kept quiet: He is of Rwandan descent.
Kyle Rittenhouse used a social media video message to announce he will not vote for Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election.
Instead, Rittenhouse says he will write in Ron Paul for president.
Rittenhouse, the Outreach Director for Texas Gun Rights, said, “Unfortunately, Donald Trump had bad advisors, making him bad on the Second Amendment, and that is my issue.”
He added, “If you cannot be completely uncompromisable on the Second Amendment, I will not vote for you, and I will write somebody else in. We need champions for the Second Amendment or our rights would be eaten away and eroded each day. I support my decision and I have no takebacks.”

Yesterday, the Biden Justice Department announced a plea deal with the masterminds of the terrorist attacks that killed 2,977 innocent souls on September 11th, 2001. In exchange for the guilty pleas, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin Attash and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi will avoid the death penalty they so richly deserve. Instead, they will live out the rest of their days in - as one 9/11 surviving family member calls it - the "Gitmo Country Club".Here's what Mark had to say about the potential for a plea deal almost two years ago (plus a bonus bit at the end re "red waves"):
In one of the least surprising developments of all time, this week’s White Dudes for Kamala Zoom call was a festival of estrogen where a bunch of weirdos, losers, mutations, sissies, whiners, dorks, geeks, and other key sub-sections of the Democrat Party gathered in the electronic ether to humiliate themselves at the feet of their mediocre candidate. That was no surprise. I didn’t check out enough of it to see if they started with a land acknowledgment or if they reassured some of the men participating that it was understood that some of them menstruate because every second I watched, I felt the testosterone draining from my body.
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.
MI AG Dana Nessel appears to have lied about the owner of 4 semi-automatic rifles with suppressors and modified pistols that were found stored in a Pelican case during a raid of the Democrat-funded GBI Strategies headquarters in Southfield, MI. On October 16, 2020, the Muskegon City Clerk’s office called the Muskegon Police Department to investigate what appeared to be a mass voter registration fraud effort targeting urban communities across the state of Michigan. [snip] we reported about a Pelican case filled with four semi-automatic rifles with suppressors and modified pistols that were found inside the GBI Strategies/Empower Michigan
Two words describe the security situation at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13: hot mess. There are so many glaring flaws, and the ground is so inexcusable that it is fertile for conspiracy theorists. Can you blame them? The Secret Service is stonewalling and stacking sandbags amid intense scrutiny from lawmakers from both parties.
We don’t know if would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was a lone gunman. How many casings were recovered from the roof? We don’t know. What we do know is that no one at the Secret Service has been disciplined for this calamity, and now text messages obtained by The New York Times show
A student at a prestigious business school was in the Big Apple for a summer internship at Citibank when he allegedly went on a sex-crimes spree, authorities and sources say.
Overachieving pervert Chamberlain Nw-iue, a 21-year-old rising senior at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, tried to rape one of his victims the day after being freed without bail in another attack, according to cops and Manhattan prosecutors.
The twisted suspect later boasted to cops about his knowledge of women — and claimed his eye contact with his attempted-rape victim beforehand was enough of an “invitation” for him to come into her apartment, authorities said.
At least 13 people were shot, two of them fatally, Friday into Saturday night in Mayor Brandon Johnson’s (D) Chicago.
ABC 7 reported the weekend’s first fatal shooting occurred Friday in a basement apartment “in the 100 block of North Lamon Avenue.” The incident took place shortly after 11:30 p.m., leaving a 40-year-old man dead.
The weekend’s second fatal shooting occurred “early Saturday,” according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Two men, a 39-year-old and a 53-year-old “were in the 4900 block of West Madison Street” when someone exited a Ford Explorer and fought with them.
From the moment that the 2024 Paris Olympics launched its opening ceremony with an elaborate street dance scene, it became clear that pushing the LGBTQ agenda was at the top of the program with a sequence that made the opening the “gayest opening ceremony ever.”
The opening dance number featured women flung around on poles as rain fell on the ceremonies. Others danced in the streets, including men lovingly embracing each other as they cavorted onto one of the many bridges across the Seine River in Paris. However, one of the prerecorded dance segments was even more explicitly LGBT, as three dancers in gender-ambiguous costumes ran through the streets of Paris
Lying gets a lot of media attention, and it’s almost always negative. (Weird, huh?) But if you stop and think about it, lying is a fantastic way to make people believe something that’s totally untrue!
Just ask Joe Biden.
Dishonesty is everywhere. It’s not a new phenomenon. Whereas our motivation to lie might be as vast and varied as the human psyche – pride, wealth, fear, status, envy, cruelty, ambition – all liars share a single commonality:
When they lie, they’re actually telling you the truth about what they want you to believe. To quote a favorite phrase from the late, great Rush Limbaugh, “Reality isn’t defined by individual choice.”

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Is Harris/Walz a Throwaway Ticket?

This has already been a weird election cycle, and no, I'm not talking about anything JD Vance said about cat ladies. It's the Democrats that are behaving strangely, even for them - and given that they have been maintaining a Weekend at Bernie's presidency for almost four years, keeping befuddled old Joe Biden in place, insisting he was "sharp as a tack" and "on his game" until they couldn't hide the fact any longer that His Dessicatedness has lost it. So now they have anointed Joe's life insurance policy, Kamala Harris, Queen of the Word Salad. And as RedState informed you, she has picked
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate to the delight of anti-semites and socialists across the country.
Walz is a radical leftist who presided over the George Floyd riots in 2020 and ignored cries from across the state. Instead, he stated that “a society that does not put equity and inclusion first will come to this result.” (X Video) He even mocked Minnesota national guardsmen as a bunch of ’19-year-old cooks” when asked why he rejected Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s request to send them to the city.
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.
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.
A whistleblower is claiming that the lead Secret Service agent in charge of Donald Trump's deadly Butler, Pennsylvania, rally was 'inexperienced' and 'failed to implement appropriate security protocols.' (snip) 'The site agent, the lead agent, was known to the Trump campaign to be inexperienced, to be ineffectual, to be, frankly, incompetent at their job,' Hawley told Fox News' Jesse Watters Monday evening.
'I'm also told by whistleblowers that on that day, she was not enforcing the normal security protocols.'
The Missouri senator noted a slew of concerning abnormalities with the tragic rally from flags that obstructed agents' views to authorities forgoing ID checks.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, recently announced as Kamala Harris’ running mate for the 2024 election, has been accused of stolen valor by retired leaders of the Minnesota National Guard.
Retired Command Sergeants Major Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr published a scathing letter in the West Central Tribune, exposing what they claim are significant fabrications and omissions in Walz’s military record.
Walz, who served in the US House of Representatives for 12 years before being elected governor in 2018, has long touted his military service as a key component of his public image.
The retired leaders assert it is their duty to expose what they describe as a pattern of deception
President Biden’s “border czar,” Veep Kamala Harris, has chosen a fellow soft-on-illegal-immigration politician as her running mate.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, 60, who was named Harris’ vice-presidential pick Tuesday, has supported efforts to turn his home state into a sanctuary state while also backing other stances that cater to undocumented migrants. “My position on Minnesota becoming a sanctuary state boils down to who has the responsibility for enforcing immigration laws,” Walz told CBS News in 2018.
“Here’s what I believe: Congress has given federal agencies the authority to enforce immigration laws in Minnesota, and I support their doing so,” he said. “Congress has not given local law enforcement that same authority.

Maybe Austin will change his mind like the plea deal with Kalid S. Muhammad and leave billions in weaponry behind for Hamas. Oh, to be a fly on the wall in one of Obama's estates.
