Joe Biden finally returned from his never-ending vacation for a meeting in the Situation Room about the situation in Israel and the killing of an American hostage. Instead of condemning Hamas for killing an American, he criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and said he hadn't done enough. That took some gall since it's been Biden who has stood in his way of finishing off Hamas.
But when he came out of the meeting, he had nothing more than what he's said for months. They were "very close" to a deal, yada yada yada. So basically, it looked like a photo op
Kamala Harris seems to have learned something from Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton: how to make things up to appeal to your audience.
Hillary Clinton pulled out the hot sauce story and a fake Southern accent. But Biden plunged headlong into fantasy, specializing in phony stories to connect with his audiences. He was everything to everyone instead of just being himself. It's great evidence of his basic insecurity.
I'm not sure what's going on with Harris' changing accents. Some think it's about appealing to the audience; others speculate on other reasons she might be behaving oddly. I wrote about this before, and you can see the wildly different comparison
Senator Elizabeth Warren apparently calls this the "tax doom loop" which is a pretty twisted way of framing things. The "tax doom" in this case refers to the fact that, given a choice, most Americans would rather not pay higher taxes. As for the "loop" part of the formula, that arises from the fact that we have a two party system in which the Republican Party is able to run on this issue of taxes and occasionally even cut taxes, leaving progressive Democrats with a major problem. How can they keep spending money they don't have?
It goes like this: Republicans pass huge tax cuts that are, at first, only temporary.
When then-candidate Donald Trump engaged in a war of words with Gold Star father Khizir Khan in 2016, the news media savaged Trump. The Clinton campaign featured Khan at the Democratic National Convention. Many on the center-right, myself included, publicly criticized Trump -- or at least questioned whether that particular battle was a constructive one. Eight years later, multiple Gold Star families are now responding passionately and harshly to a public statement from Kamala Harris, and many journalists who lavished Absolute Moral Authority upon Mr. Khan are either ignoring them or even implying they're liars.
The Justice Department is charging several top-ranking Hamas terrorists for their role in perpetrating the October 7, 2023, mass slaughter of Israeli civilians that jump-started the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind behind October 7, and five other senior Hamas officials are facing federal terrorism charges for orchestrating the October 7 attacks, the Justice Department announced Tuesday. This will be the first official step towards holding Hamas criminally accountable almost a year after the massacre took place. Hamas terrorists killed more than 1,000 innocent civilians on October 7, including over 40 American citizens.
Ask Donald Trump, a man known for putting his family at the heart of his political and his business worlds, whether we will see more of former First Lady Melania on the campaign trail and his eyes light up.

'Well, I would like to. It's not a question of that. It's a nasty world for me,' he said, six weeks after an assassin's bullet ripped through his ear. 'It's not nasty for Democrats like it is for me.

Brian Stelter is heading back to CNN to lead its coverage of the media, the longtime press correspondent and commentator announced on Tuesday.
Stelter’s return is a surprise move that comes more than two years after he left CNN following the network’s canceling of his weekly Sunday media affairs program “Reliable Sources.”
In his new role as “Chief Media Analyst,” Stelter will appear on CNN’s air, develop digital content and helm its flagship media newsletter, also dubbed “Reliable Sources,” which he helped found in 2015. “It will be different, because I am different,” Stelter wrote to the newsletter’s subscribers on Tuesday.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who was chosen as Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, has claimed that he entered politics after he was turned away from a George W. Bush rally in 2004 with some of his students in tow.
In 2020, Walz posted a thread on X where he recounted being denied entry to the rally.
“The last sitting President to visit my hometown of Mankato, Minnesota was George W. Bush in 2004. As a high school teacher and football coach, I brought two fellow teachers' children to the speech as an educational experience,” Walz wrote,

New York— U.S. stocks tumbled Tuesday to their worst day since an early August sell-off, as a week full of updates on the economy got off to a discouragingly weak start.
The S&P 500 sank 2.1% to give back a chunk of the gains from a three-week winning streak that had carried it to the cusp of its all-time high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 626 points, or 1.5%, from its own record set on Friday before Monday’s Labor Day holiday. The Nasdaq composite fell 3.3% as Nvidia and other Big Tech stocks led the way lower.

After three years of importing millions of illegal aliens under President Joe Biden and “Border Czar” Kamala Harris’s open-border regime, I’m hearing fears from my own constituents as well as from people across the country that non-citizens and illegal aliens might vote and sway the outcome of the 2024 election. Meanwhile, the threat of a destructive post-election lame duck session that will empower Democrats and pave the way for all manner of legislative sins looms ahead.

One of America's top plastic surgeons has refused to perform gender surgeries on children at his practice because he worries about the long-term effects.
California-based plastic surgeon Dr Steven Williams, who serves as president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), cited a lack of long-term research into the effects of transitioning as a teenager.
He also pointed out how the situation in America had become 'political', while the UK and European countries had banned the procedure for children due to a lack of evidence on efficacy and harms.
Ahead of his sentencing later this month, the legal team for Donald Trump requested that his hush money case be moved out of state court and into federal court. On Tuesday, however, U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein denied such a request, just as he has done previously. As the Associated Press reported:
U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein denied Trump's lawyers permission to file paperwork asking the U.S. District Court in Manhattan to take control of the case. He said they had failed to satisfy the burden of proof required for a federal court to seize the case from the state court where Trump was convicted in May.
Flip-flopping politicians are nothing new, whether Democrats or Republicans. The latter campaign on cutting taxes, slashing wasteful government spending, and securing the border, just to name a few issues.
Once elected, they discover that America, now $35 trillion in debt and growing by $2 million every minute, “can’t afford” any of these measures while at the same time insisting that billions spent on climate change fantasies or foreign wars are not only affordable but also essential “for democracy” or whatever their cause-de-jour.
Failed presidential candidate John Kerry was the poster boy for flip-floppers a few decades ago.
Gold Star families said Vice President Kamala Harris’s attack on former President Donald Trump — accusing him of playing politics by going to Arlington National Cemetery to honor the 13 fallen service members who lost their lives as a result of the Biden administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan — has made them a “target for a lot of hate.”
Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle hosted War Room on Tuesday and spoke to family members of the fallen service members in the wake of Harris’s attack on Trump and, as a consequence, on them. In a post over the weekend, Harris essentially suggested that these grieving family members allowed Trump
Brutal gang wars may soon be on the horizon in Chicago thanks to border czar Kamala Harris’ intentional dereliction of duty. (Snip)
Shortly after the news broke, a Chicago resident posted a video on Tiktok that raises cause for concern that rampant gang violence could break out unless the Venezuelans are swiftly removed (not likely to happen). In the video, he chillingly warns that the Venezuelan gangs are in for a rough ride if they continue to terrorize residents of the Windy City. This includes them getting potentially ‘chopped up’ if they don’t stay home.
should I vote for Kamala Harris?”
When asked about voting for Trump, Alexa replied, “I cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party or a specific candidate.”
The responses for Kamala Harris varied but they all praised her.
“While there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most significant may be that she is a strong candidate with a proven track record of accomplishment. As the first female vice president, Harris has already broken down a major gender barrier, and her career in politics has been characterized by a commitment to progressive ideals and a focus on helping disenfranchised communities,” Alexa said in response to a question about Kamala Harris.

Former President Donald Trump is floating the idea of appointing Elon Musk to his cabinet and the billionaire is stoked. Musk responded to the information, first reported by the Washington Post, on his social media site X early Tuesday morning.
"I can't wait. There is a lot of waste and needless regulation in government that needs to go," he wrote.
Trump has considered creating a commission of prominent business leaders to examine the government's budget and find programs to cut, the Post reported. The group, known as the "government efficiency commission," would aim to tamp down regulations and spending.

Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris supported racial reparations for black Americans during her 2020 run for the White House, and so far has not denounced the policy position.
Nationally, reparations are deeply unpopular, with about two-thirds of Americans opposing such policy. Opponents, specifically asked about reparations for slavery, often argue that Americans would be paying for sins they didn’t commit, and paying people who didn’t actually experience slavery.
“In the area of reparations for descendants of Africans enslaved — if you’re elected president, would you sign that bill if it came across your desk?” racial agitator and MSNBC personality Al Sharpton asked

Former President Donald Trump said in an interview with the Washington Examiner that his message to undecided voters in Pennsylvania ahead of November’s general election is that his administration would bring prosperity to Pennsylvanians through common-sense approaches to energy, border security, and strengthening manufacturing.
“We are going to bring the cost down on energy, and that is going to bring down the cost of everything,” Trump said.
The former president added that he wants voters to know he would take the country to a better place not just on costs but on the massive influx of illegal immigrants who have crossed the southern border since the beginning of the Biden-Harris administration.

According to the never-before-seen excerpts legally obtained by the local newspaper, Covenant School killer Audrey "Aiden" Hale, a 28-year-old biological woman who identified as a "transgender man," wrote about wanting "a boy body in heaven" and craving "brown love."

On another, she said, "Brown love is the most beautiful kind."
A policy that allows school staff to keep a child’s transgender status a secret does not violate a parent’s fundamental rights under the New Hampshire constitution, the state’s Supreme Court has held. The policy was challenged by a New Hampshire mother who sued the Manchester school district after finding out from a teacher that her minor child (identified as M.C.) had asked school staff and students to be called by a name typically associated with the opposite sex.
Stealth presidential candidate Kamala Harris tried out a new way to avoid taking questions from the press this weekend, but she gave the game away by trying just a little too hard.
You might have already seen the video of Harris this weekend, stepping out of Car Force Two (or whatever they call the car she's in) at Joint Base Andrews on her way to catch a flight to Detroit. But there's more to it than you might have noticed in that 25-second clip.
In case you didn't see the clip, here it is. [Video]
There's something weird going on but I'll get to that in a moment.
The conventional wisdom is that Kamala Harris is trying to separate herself from the Biden-Harris administration's record. On the economy, the border crisis, and even Israel, Kamala desperately wants to brand her potential presidency as a "new way forward" and turn the hyphen in "Biden-Harris administration" into a ten-foot pole.
So why is Joe Biden joining her on the campaign trail? Biden took a break from his vacation to appear on stage with Kamala Harris in Pittsburgh. Perhaps the theory is that "Scranton Joe" will help her in the Keystone State, where recent polling for her doesn't look so good.

Joe Biden’s quiet quit
replies
The latest craze among lazy people is “quiet quitting.” That means they quit working, but don’t tell their company. By doing it that way, they continue to collect their paychecks.
It’s easy to “quiet quit” in an age when objective measures of productivity are out of fashion because they reflect badly on bad employees whose feelings must be spared, and it’s especially easy when employees “work” from home.
In my opinion, it’s theft.
Which brings us to Joe Biden.

Fulton County, Georgia, is allegedly not maintaining its voter rolls, according to a recently filed in federal court.
The suit, brought by Fulton County residents Jason Frazier and Earl Ferguson against Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger and members of the Fulton County Department of Registrations and Elections (FCDRE), alleges that “Fulton County does not maintain, nor does it even attempt to maintain, accurate voter rolls.”
The suit cites, in part, testimony from Atlanta city attorney Patrise Perkins-Hooker who said last November that “Fulton County never does an independent search for anybody; dead people, felons, people who live out of state.”

Venezuela’s attorney general’s office has requested that an arrest warrant be issued for opposition leader Edmundo Gonzalez over his refusal to respond to three summons to testify about an opposition website that published detailed information about the country’s disputed presidential election.

Former President Donald Trump is exploring the possibility of giving Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, a significant role in his next administration auditing federal agencies. The idea aims to reduce unnecessary regulations and improve operational efficiency. Trump described Musk as a “very smart guy” and praised his capabilities in streamlining business operations.
Kamala Harris, the presidential candidate foisted on America by the Democrat political machine—a vice president who has never in her life won a delegate in a Democratic primary—has been releasing ludicrous ads lately claiming she’d be tough on the border.
What an absolute joke.
Tell that to the police who patrol the streets of Manhattan, some of whom claim that up to 75 percent of all the crimes committed in the Big Apple are by illegal aliens.

Meanwhile, the Harris-Biden administration seems to be taking the tragedy as license to push Israel into a cease-fire deal that could let the terrorists re-supply.
Hamas on Monday taunted kin of the six hostages found slain in Gaza by releasing haunting pre-recorded footage of the victims — and warning the gut-wrenching clips were only a teaser to their “last messages.”
One of the gaunt and exhausted-looking hostages, Eden Yerushalmi, 24, said in the eerie propaganda video that she feared she’d never escape alive. Haunting video posted on Telegram on Monday shows the six doomed Israeli hostages speaking before their murders.

The future of the Supreme Court is on the line in November’s elections. If Vice President Kamala Harris and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer are victorious in November, the independent Supreme Court that the Framers bequeathed to us will be a thing of the past. That’s one of the big reasons why Harris must be defeated in her campaign for president, and why Schumer must be demoted to Minority Leader. For the past three and a half years, the Biden-Harris administration has been on a rampage, disregarding the limits on executive authority emplaced by the Constitution. The Supreme Court has responded as it should,
Hamas leaders, who are closely observing the protests, are likely to harden their stance in the hope that the Israeli government will give in to the demonstrators' demands, including an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Hamas has the Israeli public pressuring their government to allow Hamas to "live to fight another day": to rearm, regroup and continue attacking Israelis – as Hamas official Ghazi Hamad vowed.
Hamas leaders are banking on the Biden administration to compel the Israeli government to give in to the terror group's demands.... It has long been the dream of Hamas and many Palestinians to see the US turn its back on Israel.
Fresh surveys from seven battleground states show a scenario where Donald Trump could win in November with a decisive 296 electoral votes.

“I wanted to sit down and think about my life, about what to do. Because this is not a normal world.” Migrants Juan Bernal Rodriguez (L) and Jefferson Maldenado(R) at Manhattan criminal court admit the reason why they commit crimes.
The Kamala Harris campaign is collapsing across the board. That was the case even before the horrific news from San Francisco.
That news is that the first-round draft choice of the San Francisco 49ers was just shot in broad daylight in a “safe” and “upscale” section of San Francisco. As the initial information about that shocking crime filtered out, I heard from three political operatives that this would reflect very badly on Kamala Harris. Their immediate reasoning is that former President Donald J. Trump and his campaign have very effectively tied “Comrade Kamala” to the increasing failures of crime and drug-infested San Francisco and California.
Could anyone have imagined twenty years ago or even in the darkest days of the Obama administration that Islamic terrorists would feel free to rampage across the streets of Manhattan waving terrorist flags?
But here we are.
No arrests. No FBI agents knocking on their doors. Despite formal condemnations and press releases, the Jihadists know that they have the backing of the Democrats, the Left, and the media. What else do they need?
