LONDON — The World Health Organization declared the mpox outbreaks in Congo and elsewhere in Africa a global emergency on Wednesday, with cases confirmed among children and adults in more than a dozen countries and a new form of the virus spreading. Few vaccine doses are available on the continent. Earlier this week, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that the mpox outbreaks were a public health emergency, with more than 500 deaths, and called for international help to stop the virus’ spread. “This is something that should concern us all ... The potential for further spread within Africa and beyond is very worrying,”

Donald Trump Is Following the Wrong PR

Wrecking Ball. 2 replies
Political campaigns are all about trajectory. There’s point A and point B: Where you are today, and where you need to be in November. Your campaign plan bridges the gaps between those two points. Nothing more, nothing less.
A campaign plan is a roadmap.
But it’s a roadmap of wet, muddy terrain that’s constantly changing. Sometimes, new obstacles appear out of nowhere. And when the terrain changes, so must your roadmap — or you’ll get stuck.
Since Biden dropped out, Donald Trump has been following the wrong roadmap and now he’s stuck in the wrong direction.
When discussing the media’s biases, we often talk about biases by omission or commission. But tonight we must also consider bias by zone-flooding, wherein the media avoid talking about something potentially detrimental to Democrats by backfilling newscast time with nonsense about Republicans. Consider tonight’s reporting on the presidential election, with maximum focus on the ongoing “Trump says mean things” cycle, which means less time devoted to Vice President Kamala Harris’s upcoming speech proposing price controls. Here’s NBC’s Garrett Haake: GARRETT HAAKE: And he was pressed about fellow Republicans calling for him to focus on Harris' record, instead of unleashing personal attacks.
Vice President Kamala Harris owns “Bidenomics” and will not depart from the policies that fueled about 20 percent inflation on average across the board, President Joe Biden suggested Thursday.
Biden’s comment comes just one day before Harris is to deliver a plan to fix the U.S. economy under the administration’s direction.
Only one in four voters rated the economy under the Biden-Harris administration “excellent” or “good,” a Financial Times and University of Michigan Ross School of Business poll found Monday.
Media reports suggest she plans to push price controls
The Biden-Harris administration’s inflation has destroyed wages as Americans know it, with the average U.S. worker experiencing a 3.9 percent pay cut since the Democrat duo first took office.
Using an inflation scale adjusted to 1982-1984 dollars, the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics revealed that average weekly earnings are currently $382.54, down from $397.90 on inauguration day in 2021.
So, while Americans are paying over 21 percent more for groceries, 48 percent more for car insurance, and with significant increases in rent, electricity, and garbage services, they have experienced a 3.9 percent drop in real wages since Biden-Harris took over.
When Vice President Kamala Harris unveils her economic policy proposals in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Friday, it will include a proposal to provide up to $25,000 in down payment support for first-time homebuyers, according to a campaign official.
The campaign is vowing that during its first term, the Harris-Walz administration would provide working families who have paid their rent on time for two years and are buying their first home up to $25,000 in down-payment assistance, with more generous support for first-generation homeowners. In a preview statement obtained by ABC News, the campaign says, "Many Americans work hard at their jobs, save, and pay their rent on time
I wrote earlier about the remarks about the economy that both Kamala Harris and Joe Biden made at an event in Maryland.
Harris disqualified herself with ignorant comments, not understanding or perhaps caring that overspending makes inflation worse. She talks about what she would do if she was elected on "day one" -- despite being in power now and not only not solving the problem but making things worse with bad policy. She also praised the "extraordinary Joe Biden."
Meanwhile, Biden couldn't even get her name right, and his brain broke at least a couple of times during his remarks. He also used threatening language against the GOP,

with Beating Ex-First Lady When She Was Pregnant 0 replies
An Argentine federal prosecutor formally charged socialist former President Alberto Fernández on Wednesday with domestic violence against former first lady Fabiola Yañez.
Fernández stands accused by prosecutor Ramiro González of causing “doubly aggravated serious injuries” and making “coercive threats” against the former first lady. Some of the alleged violence occurred during Fernández’s presidency, from 2019 to 2023. Prosecutors also allege Fernández forced his partner to have an abortion in 2016.
Fernández had repeatedly declared himself to be the “first feminist” president of the country,
ESPN fired Samantha Ponder and Robert Griffin III on Thursday.
The Athletic first reported the shake-up and ESPN confirmed the news to Fox News Digital. Ponder was anchor on "Sunday NFL Countdown" and Griffin was an analyst who appeared on multiple shows. Ponder didn’t immediately comment on the decision. Griffin joked on X about getting fired on his day off, using a clip from the movie "Friday."
The decision to fire Ponder sparked most of the outrage on social media. Riley Gaines, the host of OutKick’s "Gaines for Girls" podcast, and former ESPN anchor Sage Steele were among those to defend Ponder.

wiped out as Israel’s war goals are
within reach: officials 9 replies
The Israeli military has touted that their forces have killed more than 17,000 Hamas operatives in the Gaza Strip since the war began, with US officials saying the Jewish state has achieved “the vast majority” of its goals against the terrorists.
IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said about 56% of Hamas’ estimated 30,000 forces have been wiped out since Israel waged war following the Oct. 7 massacre.
Hagari said the blow has greatly affected Hamas’ ability to regroup and recover as small battalions have continued to resurface across Gaza after months of intense fighting. The latest death count is about double
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were in Maryland on Thursday trying to pitch the idea that they were doing things to "lower prices" for the American people.
Did they think we would forget the last three-plus years and how their policies drove all the prices up? In addition to trying to hoodwink us, they think we are stupid too.
I wrote about how Kamala's remarks are so ignorant and/or bad as to be disqualifying.
But then Biden's comments made them worse as he doubled down on the ignorance. He couldn't even pronounce her name correctly, calling her "Cam-ala."
Former President Donald Trump is dominating Vice President Kamala Harris among white working class voters, as they find themselves neck and neck in the presidential race, according to a national Pew Research/SSRS poll.
The poll, conducted August 5-11 with a massive sample size of more than 7,500 registered voters, finds that 45 percent of respondents support or lean toward Trump, while 46 percent back Harris or lean her way. Independent Robert F Kennedy Jr. follows in third place with seven percent. The one-percent gap between Trump and Haarris falls within the ±1.4 percent margin of error.
John Nagel is a retired lieutenant in the Minnesota State Police, and he has some harsh things to say about Governor and vice presidential candidate Tim Walz. Specifically, Lieutenant Nagel claims that Walz "truly doesn't like the police."
A retired police lieutenant in Minnesota is pushing back against the narrative that Gov. Tim Walz is a "moderate" and tells Fox News Digital that the governor "intentionally" let Minneapolis burn during the 2020 riots because he "truly doesn’t like police."
"He is not a moderate, he has never been a moderate and here in Minnesota he has been anti-police, he has raised taxes, he is nowhere near being a moderate,"

Soviet-style centrally administered price controls on food and grocery prices will form part of the federal economic proposals U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris will unveil Friday when she finally delivers an insight into her 2024 policies.
Her address will mark the first time Harris offers a policy focused speech since she was anointed as the Democratic candidate in July and been roundly accused by critics since as being a policy-free zone, as Breitbart News reported. The Democratic nominee is promising to institute a first-ever national ban on price gouging and price-fixing within her first 100 days in office
Democratic strategist James Carville during a Thursday podcast said Republicans only characterize themselves as Israel supporters because Jews are more white than Palestinians.
Over 70% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents report having a positive view of Israel, while only 44% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents share this perception, according to Pew Research Center in 2022. Carville, on “Politics War Room,” said “racism” is what motivates the views of Israelis and Palestinians in response to a listener’s question regarding the Republican Party’s alleged embrace of “neo-Nazis,” which the listener suggested is inconsistent with the party’s pro-Israel stance.
The City of Chicago is gearing up to host the Democratic National Convention, which opens next Monday at the United Center.
The Coalition To March On The DNC, an organization comprised of more than 200 groups from around the country, will descend on the city to protest the Gaza War. The coalition has already lost a big case in court. They were suing the city to be placed within "sight and sound" of the United Center. But a federal judge wisely turned down their request. They will instead be placed three miles from the United Center in an obscure public park
"We're here to show off our city,"
Earlier this week, crooked New York Judge Juan Merchan rejected a recusal request for the third time in Trump’s “hush money” case.
The dirty judge’s decision was released to the public on Wednesday.
Judge Merchan’s daughter’s platform made tens of millions of dollars from her father’s case against Trump.
President Trump is STILL under a partial gag order in the case. Can someone please explain how this is legal? And why are Republicans not outraged by this criminal lawfare against the party’s presidential candidate?
CHICAGO — Leaders of four Muslim organizations say they’re expecting upwards of 100,000 demonstrators to take part in a number of protests during the Democratic National Convention.
Three main protests are being planned for Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, the first and last days of the convention. More than 150 organizations from around the country say they’ve formed a collective to have these protests be large in numbers, and while they represent a number of different interests, they say they will be focused on the Israeli-Palestinian war.

Susan Crabtree of RealClearInvestigations broke a story this morning that in a sane would would shock you, but in the current world run by the Biden administration is just another day ending in "Y." (snip) During a Donald Trump visit to North Carolina yesterday, a woman Secret Service special agent abandoned her post to breastfeed with no permission/warning to the event site agent, according to three sources in the Secret Service community. (snip) The agent and her family members bypassed the Uniformed Division checkpoint and were escorted by an unpinned event staff into the room to breastfeed, the sources said.
The story originates in the Washington Post, so the context is always a presentation with the intent to undermine President Trump. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, this story is cited directly to RFK Jr and contains quotes from him.
This is not a story from anonymous sources or sources ‘familiar with the events.’ This is a story directly from the horses’ mouth. Robert F Kennedy Jr wants the information within this story made public. REMEMBER THAT!
Additionally, when you accept the Washington Post is the outlet for the CIA, and then see that Robert F Kennedy Jr confirms the details of the article with first person attribution,
Tim Walz hasn't exactly had the best introduction to the nation. Despite the best efforts of the campaign and the mainstream media to brand him as a midwestern centrist and "America's dad," among other things, it's hard not to wonder if Walz will be the next candidate the campaign will force off the ticket to make for someone less controversial and with less baggage.
The biggest issue, of course, is that Walz has come under fire for stolen valor.
Earlier this month, Newsweek reported that the Minnesota National Guard was disputing Walz's military biography. They reported that despite the governor's assertions, Walz did not retire with the rank of command sergeant major.
Pro-Palestinian groups are planning to bus tens of thousands of protesters into Chicago next week to demonstrate at the Democratic National Convention.
Fervent critics of America's support for Israel in the war in Gaza insist their plans haven't changed since Joe Biden dropped out of the race and Kamala Harris took the nomination, even though she is more sympathetic to Palestinians.
Hatem Abudayyeh, the national chair of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network advocacy group, told NBC demonstrators will be bussed in from nearby states.
One consistent element of wokeness is that it is inconsistent. Wokeness, as influencer Teal Swan sagely remarks, has become "a radical political and social ideology that is flirting with authoritarianism and that is wearing a mask of virtue."
That mask slips so often we might refer to it as a "wardrobe malfunction." Virtue, among the truly woke, is frangible. What might be virtuous in one situation could be evil in another. It might depend on who is being virtuous. It might depend on what the wokie had for breakfast. Suffice it to say that most woke people on the left have no idea what is virtuous and what isn't.
The Taliban terrorist organization celebrated the third anniversary of President Joe Biden facilitating its return to power in Afghanistan on Wednesday, hosting a large military parade on the former U.S. air base site at Bagram featuring U.S.-made equipment and welcoming envoys from Iran and China.
August 15 will mark three years since the fundamentalist Taliban terror group stormed Kabul, the nation’s capital, while then-President Ashraf Ghani fled in a helicopter. The Afghan military had collapsed by then, leading to a nearly bloodless takeover of the government for the Taliban. The Taliban remains at press time the uncontested government of Afghanistan, though no country recognizes it as such in an official capacity.
Pro-Palestinian protestors in New York on Thursday interrupted an event in support of Democratic US presidential candidate Kamala Harris by throwing smoke bombs at the scene, resulting in the arrest of dozens, according to a Y-Net report. In footage circulating on X, formally Twitter, havoc can be seen at the scene of the event, with people wearing keffiyehs and holding Palestinian flags as the NYPD makes arrests.Additionally, at least one of the people is seen wearing a keffiyeh, covering his entire face, and a green headband that can possibly be inspired by Hamas's terror brigades's green band.
