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.

Now that the euphoria on the part of the delegates to the Democrat Convention has subsided, the Democrats will now have to try to sell to the voting public, a tandem of dubious candidates to try make lemonade out of apples. A major task. It's like the reincarnation of the old vaudeville act of Frick and Frack under the label of Democrat candidates for president and vice-president, “Kackling” Kamala Harris and “Won-Ton” Tim Walz.
The Democrat elites went all out, at their convention, to try to bamboozle the electorate into thinking that the the Democrats are really not Democrats, but a clone of their opponents, the Republicans, by copying
Kamala Harris is desperate for a repeat of her debate with Mike Pence in 2020, where she was able to portray herself as the battered woman candidate who was being mansplained and bullied. It was all fabricated and almost certainly planned, but it became her signature: (X) In the two debates scheduled for Joe Biden and Trump, one of the rules was that there would be no talk-over – the mics would be muted when it was not the candidate’s time to speak. That rule, as all the rules, was demanded by Biden. I didn’t think that would be good for Trump, who likes a freewheeling debate style,

Actor Ben Stiller received a mixed reception online after he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, saying that her candidacy has brought "change" to the Democratic Party.
"Just very excited about moving forward and all the energy and excitement that's around this movement right now," Stiller said in a video interview posted by journalist Nicholas A. Ballasy that has since gone viral online. "That's why I'm here, because it's time for change, and it seems like it's happening."
Stiller and other Hollywood celebrities, including actor George Clooney, have endorsed Harris as President Biden's successor as the Democratic Party's nominee for president. When asked if Harris could keep up her momentum after the
The Zuckerberg Letter, Cont'd

Yesterday I compiled the New York Post’s coverage of the Zuckerberg letter. In my post I focused on Facebook’s suppression of the New York Post’s coverage of Hunter Biden’s laptop in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election.
Speaking for myself, I quoted Zuckerberg’s statement that Facebook sent “the Post story to fact-checkers for review[.]” I commented that every element of the Post’s coverage was accurate and authenticated. I added that it would therefore be nice to see the timeline of Facebook’s work and the work product. They would tell a story all by themselves.
I linked to Matt Taibbi’s subscribers-only Racket News post on the letter. Today the Post publishes
When people ask why we need so-called assault weapons, most of us default to point out that we don't have to illustrate a need to exercise our rights. That is completely true and I'm one of those who has said it time and time again. We don't, nor should we. If we're required to show a need, then it's not a right in the first place. That was the core issue at the heart of the Bruen case, really. The state demanded someone show a need and the Supreme Court said you can't do that.
That extrapolates out to things like AR-15s.
But from time to time, we also see a situation
Tulsi Gabbard Endorses Trump
4 replies
Honestly, I thought she had endorsed Trump a long time ago. Tulsi’s long goodbye from the Democratic Party has taken her to precincts like CPAC and, going on two years ago, my own organization’s Fall Briefing. Looking back at my post on that event, I am reminded of how impressed I was by her.
Tulsi may be an attractive woman, but much more importantly she comes across as a serious, and above all military, person. She is very smart and also empathetic. Our audience loved her.
My only regret about Tulsi Gabbard is that Trump didn’t choose her as his vice presidential nominee. Nothing against J.D. Vance, who I think is doing
The hunt for the mastermind of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel, Yahya Sinwar, continues. Yesterday we learned more about how that has been going, including one close call when it appears the IDF missed Sinwar by days.
"Israeli commandos raided an elaborate tunnel complex in the southern Gaza Strip on Jan. 31 based on intelligence that Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader, was hiding there, according to American and Israeli officials.
He had been, it turned out. But Mr. Sinwar had left the bunker beneath the city of Khan Younis just days earlier, leaving behind documents and stacks of Israeli shekels totaling about $1 million."

Upon becoming the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee, Kamala Harris insisted that Donald Trump had already agreed to the September 10 debate to take place on ABC, rules and all, while the Trump campaign insisted that the agreement was with Joe Biden, not Kamala, and insisted on a new slate of debates — including a debate on Fox News.
Trump, knowing that the debates would likely be a huge boon for his campaign, eventually agreed to do the same debate with Kamala as he’d agreed to with Biden. But now, the Harris campaign wants to change the rules.
"The Donald Trump and Kamala Harris campaigns traded barbs Monday over debate rules Monday,
Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels said that if you repeat a lie often enough it becomes the truth.
Democrats and their media lapdogs know this very well and apply it assiduously.
How ironic then that Democrats call Republicans 'Nazis' yet themselves follow the Goebbels Nazi propaganda playbook. One of many examples is the “very fine people” lie, a false assertion that President Trump called neo-Nazis such a thing, yet is a standard Democrat talking point and blatant nonsense. President Joe Biden, somewhat awake and alert long past his bedtime, told this whopper, along with many other falsehoods running across his teleprompter, at last week’s Democratic National Convention.

The Democrats Truly Hate Us Normal People
13 replies
My bingo card didn’t have the Democrat Governor of Kentucky going to the Democrat National Convention and suggesting that somebody rape someone in JD Vance’s family, but you know, maybe it should have. Here’s an ugly reality that we have to accept. The elite of the Democrat Party hates us. It doesn’t just dislike us. It doesn’t find us merely annoying and tiresome. It certainly doesn’t want to live and let live. It wants to rule and let us die. There is not a single bad thing that they wouldn’t wish upon you. We know because they keep telling us.
That sure sounds harsh. So does suggesting that a member
Joe Biden is easily the worst human being to hold the office of President of the United States of America. The send-off his own party gave him, as ignominious as it was, was still not nearly as ignominious as he deserved.
First, Biden was forced out of his reelection campaign, months after he'd "won" the nomination in a rigged primary, by a cabal of insiders including his old boss, Barack Obama. You know, the man who reminded fellow Democrats to "never underestimate Joe's ability to f*** things up." Then his farewell address — angry and disassociated — was bumped out of primetime by an assortment of has-been and never-will-be speakers.

President Joe Biden responded to the news that Hersh Goldberg-Polin was one of the bodies that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had discovered in Gaza, and stated “Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes.”
Biden issued a statement that it was “now confirmed that one of the hostages” killed by Hamas terrorists was Goldberg-Polin. Biden described Goldberg-Polin’s death as “tragic” and “reprehensible.”
“Earlier today, in a tunnel under the city of Rafah, Israeli forces recovered six bodies of hostages held by Hamas,” Biden said in a statement. “We have now confirmed that one of the hostages killed by these vicious Hamas terrorists was an American citizen
Black activists at the California assembly threatened a "direct impact" on Vice President Harris' presidential campaign after state Democratic lawmakers held off on two bills that would have greenlighted slavery reparations. Last week, the California legislature approved proposals allowing for the return of land or compensation to families whose property was unjustly seized by the government, and issuing a formal apology for laws and practices that have harmed Black people. But none of those bills would provide widespread direct payments to African Americans.

The first black female police superintendent of Toronto, Canada was demoted after she reportedly admitted to helping several black police officers cheat in order to get promoted. According to The Toronto Star, Supt. Stacy Clarke leaked confidential exam questions to six black police officers. (snip) The Star reported that in May, Clarke said in a hearing that she helped the cops cheat to counteract a “racial bias” meant to hold black police officers back (snip) “I felt at the time that (the six officers) did not have a fair chance in this process and my own history and experience of racial inequity compounded this feeling,” Clarke wrote
The six Israeli hostages whose bodies were found in a Hamas tunnel underneath Gaza Saturday had been shot in the head in the last 48 hours, according to autopsy reports Sunday.
As Breitbart News reported, the Israeli military identified the hostages Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, American-Israeli Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi, and Master Sergeant Ori Danino. Hamas murdered the hostages in the belief that Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers were closing in. According to IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, the soldiers did not know the hostages’ exact location but had rescued one hostage nearby last week and were fighting above ground at the location.
As Israel’s justified war against Hamas raged, the terror group still held over 100 hostages. Once again, a ceasefire agreement was rejected by Hamas last week. Tragically, Israeli forces made a gruesome discovery this weekend in Gaza: the bodies of six hostages were recovered, including one American (via Axios): Israel Defense Forces recovered the bodies of six Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, including one American citizen, Israeli officials said.
Why it matters: The recovery operation took place amid continued efforts to reach a hostage-release and ceasefire in Gaza deal.
The Georgia election workers who successfully sued former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani for defamation asked a federal court on Friday to enforce the $146 million judgment in their favor, listing a wide variety of personal items that could be used to pay off the money they’re owed. Lawyers for Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss are seeking a court order requiring that Giuliani turn over within the next seven days his properties in New York and Florida, his Mercedes-Benz, more than two-dozen luxury watches, various sports memorabilia, including three New York Yankees World Series rings, and other personal items.

Prince Harry is reported to have told friends that he feels like a "spare" in the United States. Pals of the Duke of Sussex have reportedly said he feels that he has lost his way and even feels overshadowed by his wife, Meghan Markle, in public. [Snip] They added: "The Colombia trip also really highlighted how Meghan is comfortable stepping into the spotlight, while Harry cuts a very sulky, unhappy figure in the background." The unnamed source claimed Harry wants to find a way back to royal life in Britain and is seeking the advice of old pals and associates.
The more I read about or hear about Elon Musk, the more I like the guy. Oh, I don't agree with him on every issue, but then, if two people agree on everything, one of them isn't necessary. But I like his tenaciousness, I like his grit, and I admire his First Amendment absolutism.
So, when Clinton creature Robert Reich, the former Labor Secretary (because of course he was), opines that Musk should be threatened with arrest by regulators for "disseminating lies and hate" - meaning anything Robert Reich doesn't agree with - well, I'm inclined to tell Robert Reich precisely where he can place that idea,
Russia sees U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris as a more predictable opponent than Republican Donald Trump, though in any case there is no prospect of an improvement in relations with Washington, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
In an interview with Pavel Zarubin, a TV reporter with favoured access to the Kremlin, Peskov also appeared dismissive of Trump's boast that he could end the Ukraine war within 24 hours if U.S. voters returned him to the White House. Before Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from November's election and threw his support behind Harris, Russian President Vladimir Putin had said that Moscow preferred Biden over Trump, describing
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu swore to eliminate Hamas leadership and destroy the terrorist organization in an address shortly after the Israel Defense Forces recovered the bodies of six hostages killed in the tunnels under Rafah, Gaza.
“This is a difficult day for us,” Netanyahu began. “Together with all citizens of Israel, I was outraged to the depths of my soul by the horrific, cold-blooded murder of six of our hostages: Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi, and Master Sergeant Ori Danino. May God avenge them.”

When George H.W. Bush was ducking debates during the fall of 1992, Bill Clinton’s campaign sent trolling 7-foot chicken mascots to every Bush campaign event. The humorous jab was brilliantly effective.
A chastened Bush relented, agreeing to three debates. But by that time, “Chicken George,” as it came to be known, had done its damage. Clinton emerged as the alpha-male to Bush’s beta and Clinton never looked back as he rode the wave into the White House.
Kamala Harris is potentially setting up the same trap.
WASHINGTON - Several U.S. Democratic lawmakers renewed calls for an Israeli-Hamas ceasefire on Sunday in reaction to the killing of six hostages in a tunnel under Gaza, while Republicans criticized President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for not giving stronger support to Israel. Israel recovered the bodies of six hostages from a tunnel in Gaza where they were apparently killed shortly before its troops reached them, triggering Israeli protests on Sunday and planned strikes over the failure to save them. The military said the bodies of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who is an Israeli-American citizen, Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Alexander Lobanov
