Former U.S. representative Tulsi Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party to become an independent in 2022, has endorsed former president Donald Trump days after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign and threw his support behind the Republican presidential nominee. Gabbard announced her endorsement on Monday after Trump spoke at a National Guard Association conference in Detroit, where he criticized President Joe Biden’s handling of the military withdrawal from Afghanistan three years ago this week. “I am committed to doing all that I can to send President Trump back to the White House, where he can once again serve us as our commander-in-chief,”

Gabbard often comes across like the only sober adult in a room. Sure, she and RFK Jr were democrats, but so was Trump and some guy named R.W. Reagan.

Not surprising, but welcome, nonetheless. The idiots that replaced Rush were yammering on today about how Trump needs to appeal to women, and all child-bearing age women want access to abortion, and women need to see women representing President Trump, and how very few women are supporting him. They were suggesting…wait for it…Nikki Haley to get out there and campaign for President Trump. RINOs are in touch with democrat women, not conservative women. The conservative women I know— and I know quite a few—are much smarter and much more politically savvy than to make voting decisions based on optics. All that being said, Tulsi Gabbard can be a valuable asset for the less than informed voter.

Remember Arlen Specter, of Pennsylvania? Politicians who opportunistically switch parties are not to be trusted. Currently, that includes Junior Kennedy and Gabbard.

PS: Gabbard is at least telegenic, and she's good at commentary.... does not need to announce her party affiliation. Junior looks like his mother Ethel. They must go to the same tanning salon...... mother/daughter account?

I believe her conversion is real. She sees that the Dem party has gone to the dark side, and she wants no part of it.

Finally, after ducking an interview since she was handed the Democratic nomination for president on a silver platter, Kamala Harris is going to do an interview. Of course, because it's the Democrats, you always know there's a little more to that story. It's not going to be a live interview. It's going to be on CNN and it will be taped. And the person conducting it will be Dana Bash, the same person who contested that Harris had been appointed border czar. So, you know even before we get to the interview, it's probably going to be a softball piece.

Washington — Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will sit with CNN for their first joint interview on Thursday as Democrats work to broaden their base’s excitement from last week’s Democratic National Convention. The interview, conducted by CNN’s chief political correspondent and anchor Dana Bash, will air at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday. It occurs as the candidates embark on a bus tour through the battleground state of Georgia and marks the first time Harris has sat with a journalist for an in-depth, on-the-record conversation since President Joe Biden dropped his bid for a second term and endorsed her on July 21.

Washington — Special counsel Jack Smith filed a superseding indictment against former President Donald Trump on Tuesday in which he again accused Trump of resisting the peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 presidential election. Smith narrowed the allegations after a landmark Supreme Court ruling on presidential power earlier this year. The new 36-page charging document is based on a more refined set of allegedly criminal acts after the Supreme Court ruled Trump was immune from prosecution for some of the conduct included in Smith's original 45-page indictment returned last year. Prosecutors maintained the four counts against Trump that he previously faced — including conspiracy

Kamala Harris has repeatedly said she would shut down Donald Trump's border wall project and once called it a 'medieval vanity project' and a 'waste of taxpayer'. But now that she is the Democratic presidential nominee, Harris has allegedly and suddenly vowed to sign a bill that would allocate hundreds of millions of dollars to continue building a wall along the southern border, according to a report. Materials for Trump's wall sit and decay in border states ever since the construction came to a screeching halt when President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris took office in 2021. The flip-flop came during her speech

Kamala Harris has now been in the presidential race for over a month. During that time she has done no interviews and press conferences, instead relying on anonymous aides to leak her supposed positions to the press. Time is now running out on her game of hide-and-seek. Speaking to the press in early August, Harris told reporters that she would do a sit-down interview "before the end of the month." With that deadline fast approaching, it's becoming more and more obvious she's terrified to follow through. According to Politico, the vice president has her handlers using a new strategy to see who she'll finally talk to.

An Israeli hostage being held by Hamas was rescued by special forces from a tunnel beneath southern Gaza on Tuesday, the IDF said. Qaid Farhan Alkadi, 52, who was kidnapped by the terror group on Oct. 7, was found in a tunnel in Mahrat during a “complex rescue operation,” according to the Israeli military. Alkadi, a father of 11 from the Bedouin Arab community, was rescued by IDF soldiers from the 13th Fleet Unit, 401st Brigade, as well as Yalam and Shin Bet fighters, the military said. The first image of Alkadi post-rescue showed him seated in a hospital gown alongside a grinning relative.

A federal judge in the Eastern District of Texas on Monday temporarily blocked a Biden administration program that allowed undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens to apply for green cards without leaving the U.S. The program, which the White House named Keeping Families Together, would provide a form of legal relief known as “parole in place” to undocumented spouses of American citizens who could prove they have lived in the U.S. continuously for at least 10 years and met a host of other requirements. Typically, undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens need to leave the country

Giggly Kamala Harris has always had a problem with people thinking she was stupid, a lightweight, a ditz, a non-thinker. After all, she was the daughter of a Stanford professor, but somehow she couldn't get into that school, even with affirmative action. And she got her start in politics at Willie Brown's knee, so to speak. It wasn't her brains she was selling when she 'dated' Willie. She's since done her best to dodge reporters and avoid interviews, doing only an informercial or two with her running mate, Tim Walz, and not releasing any policy programs. But her minions aren't doing nothing, particularly on matters of getting her campaign message out to voters.

Fresh off a week of daily counterprogramming events and an effort to steal the spotlight from his new opponent, Donald Trump and his campaign are seeking to harness that pace in the lead-up to November — with plans to aggressively ramp up the former president’s schedule, hone his debate skills and cultivate a new ground-game strategy tied to the early voting states, sources familiar with the strategy shift told CNN. The new approach is itself an acknowledgment that Trump’s campaign has struggled to adapt to the fast-changing political landscape after President Joe Biden ended his campaign less than four months before Election Day. Trump’s schedule going forward will look

Do you think the DNC went well? I'm not sure the Democrats did. Reading between the lines of what was said and done between all that "joy," I think the Democrats are panicking, and for good reason. They aren't selling themselves well. If you think this is good, I've got sour news for you. This is the kind of thing that spurs Democrats into action. They live by the mantra "by any means necessary," and if the Democrats are the cornered animal they're hinting they are, then they're about to resort to some really brutal tactics to hold onto power.

So far this year, including the three that are spinning Monday, there have been more storms in the Pacific than the Atlantic, and that's a bit of a surprise, forecasters say. In addition, it's been eerily calm in the Atlantic over the past week or so as we approach what's traditionally the busiest time of the season.

As Joe Biden disembarked Air Force One in the early hours of Tuesday morning in California last week, he was visibly shaking. It was approaching 5.30am East Coast time and the president had been awake almost 24 hours. Walking slowly down the plane's stairs, he struggled to step up into the SUV waiting to take him to the 8,000-acre Santa Barbara ranch where he and his family have just enjoyed a week-long vacation. One of his Secret Service agents moved to shield him from the watching cameras, before giving him a helpful boost into the car. On the tarmac, First Lady Jill Biden watched, visibly concerned.

The modern female fantasy is embodied by the man who might soon become our first First Gentleman," Catherine Rampell wrote in the piece.Rampell added that Emhoff is a “hunk” because he is “smitten with his wife” and her career ambitions and is "secure enough with his own masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife’s ambitions over his own.” Rampell brushed off Emhoff’s “previous marital drama,” which includes Emhoff conceding that he had an affair during his first marriage.

Less than two months ago, Donald Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt after 20-year-old Thomas Crooks opened fire at an open-air rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. While Secret Service agents were applauded for bravely swarming the stage to protect Trump, the incident represented one of the worst security failures in American history. Following the shooting on July 13 - which claimed the life of firefighter Corey Comperatore - Congress set up a bipartisan taskforce to investigate. As questions mounted, Secret Service chief Kimberly Cheatle was forced to resign.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. officially lost his U.S. Secret Service (USSS) protection on Monday, just days after his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. Kennedy's press secretary confirmed the change in a statement to CBS News. Kennedy had gone through a long process to receive USSS protection in the first place, with his initial requests being denied earlier in the cycle. It was not until the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump in July that President Biden ordered that Kennedy receive Secret Service protection as well.
