Former President Donald Trump suggested on the evening of Aug. 25 that he may skip a Sept. 10 ABC News debate with Vice President Kamala Harris amid dueling statements issued by both campaigns about whether the microphone should be muted.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that he did not like how the network’s Jonathan Karl handled an interview with Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) on Aug. 25, questioning ABC’s capacity to be impartial.
Trump then wrote, “Why would I do the debate against Kamala Harris on that network?”
The Supreme Court on Aug. 28 turned down President Joe Biden’s request to reinstate a $475 billion student loan relief plan weeks after an appeals court blocked the program.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh referred the application to the full court which denied it. No dissents were recorded.
The Supreme Court said it “expects that the Court of Appeals will render its decision with appropriate dispatch.” The case remains pending in the lower courts.

High LDL (otherwise known as ‘bad’) cholesterol is considered a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, which together claim over 850,000 lives each year in the United States.
Hence, great efforts are expended in identifying high LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol in patients, and in lowering their levels.
But is cholesterol—and LDL cholesterol in particular—really the arch enemy of health that we’ve been led to believe?
“A person that has good, healthy levels of cholesterol means that their biochemical system is working in this particular spot—in terms of cholesterol regulation and (cholesterol) transport,” says biochemical researcher, Dr. Dayan Goodenowe.
Gov. Katie Hobbs’, D-Ariz., unilateral designation of state agencies as voter registration and ballot drop-off locations is unconstitutional, a lawsuit filed Thursday alleges.
Brought by Arizona GOP Chair Gina Swoboda and two state voters, the suit challenges the legality of two executive orders issued by Hobbs in November 2023 that authorized “certain new state agencies [to serve] as locations where a person can register to vote and drop off completed ballots.” Among the agencies directed to “make voter registration forms” and other election-related information available are the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation, and Reentry and Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections.
CTH has expressed our concerns previously. I always hope to be wrong about intelligence community connected politicians. That said, I shall be a good team player and hope/pray to be wrong about RFK JR.
Robert F Kennedy Jr is introduced by President Trump at a MAGA rally in Arizona. According to RFK Jr earlier in the day, President Trump promised a position in the Trump administration. From the remarks tonight, I suspect that position offered is FDA Commissioner.
(snip) President Trump heaped effusive praise on Robert F Kennedy as the crowd chanted, “Bobby, Bobby, Bobby!” It was quite an exciting moment in an auditorium filled
The bodies of a British tech tycoon, a Morgan Stanley executive, and five others, including a teenager, have been recovered after the superyacht Bayesian sank off the coast of Sicily on Aug. 19.
What happened, and how could such a huge vessel suddenly go down within sight of the shore?
Who Was on Board and Why?
When a storm struck the superyacht Bayesian, off Porticello, near Palermo, around 5 a.m. on Aug. 19, there were 22 people on board: 12 passengers and a crew of 10.
The passengers included Mike Lynch, the founder and former CEO of software firm Autonomy, his wife Angela Bacares—who was the Bayesian’s legal owner—and their 18-year-old daughter Hannah.
Larry Kudlow delivered a monologue outlining his pragmatic and positive perspective on the Robert F Kennedy endorsement of President Trump.
Mr Kudlow sees a net positive from the RFK JR endorsement and is optimistic that support from a Kennedy can tilt a tight race. WATCH:

From the Twitter: “I can’t tell whether it’s good or bad, but I firmly believe you have to be willing to play the cards your dealt. Maybe it was the Army, I dunno, but I can’t stand to sacrifice momentum for purity and perfection. You want that? Go to church. This is politics. It’s war. We fight with the team we’ve got, and that means sending
According to the Trump campaign, there will now be a special guest attending the Glendale, Arizona MAGA rally tomorrow (7:00pm ET). A lot of speculation has centered around Robert F Kennedy Jr, likely endorsing President Trump.
Many people within the MAGA community, mostly those associated with the financial benefits of the movement, have been advocating for RFK Jr to be placed in a prominent Trump administration position.
I am taking a wait-and-see approach; however, I do not see any benefit from any RFK endorsement. The same Republicans who voted for Evan McMullin, are the same Republicans currently supporting RFK Jr. That group will not change their anti-Trump position

Of FACE Act Violations For Preventing
Baby Deaths 6 replies
The Department of Justice (DOJ) continues to hound pro-life activists who go to abortion businesses and try to convince pregnant women not to kill their babies.
A Detroit, Michigan, jury found seven pro-lifers guilty Tuesday of engaging in a civil rights conspiracy and violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act for standing and sitting in front of the door of the Northland Family Planning Clinic in Sterling Heights, Michigan, Aug. 27, 2020.
The 1994 Clinton-era FACE Act makes it a federal crime to intimidate or interfere with someone getting an abortion. Combined with the conspiracy charge the DOJ has added to recent FACE charges, the combined convictions
It started with Senator Lindsey Graham previously saying that perhaps electronic encryption programs needed a legislative ban as an outcome of the Trump assassination attempt.
The “never let a crisis go to waste” narrative continues advancing today with Congressman Mike Waltz.(snp)If you do not choose to give up some private communication tools in order to make the USA a safer place, then you don’t care about the security of President Trump or something. That’s the rapidly approaching talking point from the professionally republican.
The Deep State loves unilateral transparency where We The People are transparent, and they remain opaque. Sorry, but look where we are now.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has unveiled a new rule that the government estimates will protect about 550,000 illegal immigrants from being deported.
A federal law called the Immigration and Nationality Act gives federal officials the ability to grant parole to illegal immigrants who are already in the United States. DHS officials are using the powers to grant protection to some illegal immigrants who are married to U.S. citizens, as directed by President Joe Biden.
The DHS said that the government is trying to keep families together and that “granting parole in place, on a case-by-case basis,

On Thursday, former President Donald Trump generated a firestorm of controversy in pro-life political circles.[Snip]In response, Trump stated, “I think the six-week is too short. There has to be more time.” Many interpreted his comments to mean he would vote in favor of Amendment 4.[Snip]Lately, many pro-lifers have been frustrated with Trump because he has offered them precious little in terms of commitments on abortion policy.[Snip]By simply raising concerns about the full implications of Amendment 4, Trump could win back the support of some skeptical pro-life voters. More importantly, he would be performing a valuable service for pro-lifers in Florida and across the country.
Is Kamala Harris having second thoughts about picking Tim Walz as her running mate? If she isn't, she probably should be.
A new poll out of Pennsylvania is shedding some light on just how much of an own-goal that was. Before getting there, though, the topline is really good news for Donald Trump, showing him tied in the head-to-head and leading in the five-way matchup (which is more relevant). It appears Harris' momentum has been completely halted, with no perceivable bounce from the DNC. Bob Casey, the Democrat senator up for re-election in Pennsylvania, only being up two points is also a huge result for Republicans.
Maybe President Joe Biden was never a serious member of the Washington, DC, establishment — like the Clintons, the Bushes, or the Obamas — or, maybe, the establishment just had no more use for him.
Either way, the knives seem to be out for the Biden family after Joe Biden stepped aside from the 2024 presidential election. In three leaks in the last month, members of the permanent political class in Washington disclosed damaging information about the Biden family.
One: Hunter Biden accepted $3,101,258 from Romanian partner Gabriel Popoviciu to “influence U.S. government agencies” when Joe Biden served as vice president, Special Counsel David Weiss said in a court filing.

Military personnel were reportedly deployed to guard the Wolcott Hotel in Manhattan at the request of state officials.
On Tuesday, citizen journalist Jason Goodman, founder of Crowdsource the Truth, captured footage of military stationed outside The Wolcott Hotel.
The Wolcott Hotel, located on West 31st Street in New York City, has recently been converted into a mega-shelter for migrants.
This transformation was confirmed by a report from the New York Post, which revealed that the hotel, once a bustling hub for tourists, has indefinitely closed its doors to regular guests back in 2023 due to the ongoing migrant crisis
A federal appeals court rejected an appeal by pro-transgender advocates, allowing Alabama to keep protecting children and youths from transgender advocates.
The good news was matched by other events in Texas, Virginia, and Missouri where judges and university officials rejected demands from transgender advocates seeking to minimize the public’s recognition of the two male and female sexes.
The United States 11th Circuit Court of Appeals released a divided 173-page decision in which ten out of 11 judges took part, according to the Alabama Reflector.

President Joe Biden was spotted with First Lady Jill Biden on the beach in Rehoboth, Delaware - vacationing for the second weekend in a row.
Biden sat near a blue umbrella wearing a black hat and Philadelphia Eagles T-shirt while talking on the phone and waving at the cameras on Saturday.
The First Lady appeared relaxed with the sleeves of her white dress rolled up and hair tired back in a gray baseball cap.The 81-year-old president, who vowed he was committed to seeing out the remaining months of his term, has been facing criticism for spending so much time at the beach.
'Who is running the country?'
Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday skewered former President Donald Trump for filming at the Arlington National Cemetery, accusing him of exploiting his visit for political purposes, which is prohibited. (Snip) A half-hour later, Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, fired back at Harris in his own social media post: “President trump was there at the invitation of families whose loved ones died because of your incompetence.” “Why don’t you get off social media and go launch an investigation into their unnecessary deaths?” Vance added. The Trump campaign echoed that line of defense in its own social media post
It doesn't take an expert to know that Kamala Harris was out of her element during the softball interview with CNN. She's been avoiding interviews and press conferences for weeks, and despite finally agreeing to an interview with a friendly network conducted by a friendly host, she still needed her male running mate to accompany her.
But it should come as no surprise that a body language expert who analyzed Kamala's performance during the interview told Fox News Digital that Harris lacked both confidence and a presidential demeanor.
According to Susan Constantine, Harris frequently looked down during the CNN interview, which suggested that she was “not confident in what she’s saying.”
AURORA, Colo. — The national attention on the presence of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) in Colorado could harm immigrants who are not associated with the gang, according to activists. Videos of people alleging Venezuelan gang members are "taking over" Aurora have circulated on social media, particularly claims about an apartment complex the city is closing near Colfax and Peoria. One video depicts several males, who appear to be armed, attempting to break into an apartment unit at an unidentified complex. Neither the city nor the Aurora Police Department has confirmed those claims. Activists told Denver7 the headlines are
Florida executed Loran Cole on Thursday in the 1994 murder of an 18-year-old college student whose big sister was raped during what started as a fun camping weekend and became a family's worst nightmare.
Cole, 57, was executed by lethal injection and pronounced dead at 6:15 p.m. at the Florida State Prison in Raiford, about 40 miles southwest of Jacksonville. It marked Florida's first execution of the year and the 13th in the nation.
Cole was convicted in the 1994 murder of Florida State University student John Edwards and the sexual assault of his older sister in the Ocala National Forest, about 70 miles northwest of Orlando.
Edwards' parents, Timothy and Victoria Edwards,
This looks slightly more serious as an instance of political dishonesty than the Case of the Missing Big Mac, but maybe not by much. Apparently, a story told by Tim Walz about the George Bush campaign provoking him into a career in electoral politics has some serious holes in it. But is it far enough off from the truth to matter these days?
If a Democrat's origin story falls in the forest, will the media report it even if people are around to hear it?
Earlier this afternoon, investigative reporter Gabe Kaminsky dug into a tale told by Walz that claimed he had only chosen a career in politics
San Francisco 49ers rookie Ricky Pearsall was shot during a robbery incident in the city's Union Square, according to police.
Pearsall is now in stable condition and a suspect is in custody, District 3 Supervisor Aaron Peskin told the local NBC affiliate.
The first-year receiver was reportedly targeted over his Rolex watch. There are also unconfirmed claims that Pearsall was at an autograph signing at or around the time the shooting took place. The 23-year-old Arizona native is one week away from his first NFL game against the New York Jets on September 9, although his status for that contest was already clouded by a shoulder injury.
