A statement from 60 Minutes

Former President Donald Trump's repeated claims against 60 Minutes are false. • The interview was not doctored; and • 60 Minutes did not hide any part of Vice President Kamala Harris's answer to the question at issue. 60 Minutes fairly presented the interview to inform the viewing audience, and not to mislead it. The lawsuit Trump has brought today against CBS is completely without merit and we will vigorously defend against it.

For Social Security's more than 68 million beneficiaries, nothing loomed larger last week than the annual reveal of the program's cost-of-living adjustment (COLA).
Based on 23 years of annual surveys from Gallup, 80% to 90% of retirees (including 88% in 2024) have consistently pointed to their Social Security income as being necessary to make ends meet. For a majority of retired-worker beneficiaries, knowing how much they'll be receiving each month in the upcoming year is critical information. While Social Security's 2025 COLA marks the fourth consecutive year of an above-average payout, it also comes with a sizable, and unavoidable, problem.
The Collapse of Kamala Harris | Opinion

On July 26, in the aftermath of the Democratic Party's ruthless midsummer coup of their own democratically elected presidential nominee, this column predicted that the elevation of dimwitted cackler-in-chief Kamala Harris to the party's presidential slot would "spectacularly backfire." More specifically, I wrote: "Practically, the path to winning 270 Electoral College votes still runs through the Rust Belt states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. It is frankly bizarre for Democrats to swap out the man who talks ceaselessly about his hardscrabble Scranton upbringing for a Californian who boasts the most left-wing voting record of any presidential nominee in modern history."
Vice President Kamala Harris is adding to her recent “media blitz” that until now has included stops at mostly friendly news outlets, talk shows and podcasts (which the Democratic presidential nominee has still inexplicably managed to bomb).
Yet, this week, she’s shaking things up and doing her first ever sit-down interview with Fox News. The interview will take place Wednesday with Fox News anchor Bret Baier. Baier has said that he won't treat Harris with kid gloves during their conversation, and that any editing of the interview will only be for “timing” and that “no topic is off the table.” Sounds promising.
(The Hill) – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) temporarily paused aid in parts of North Carolina this weekend after alleged threats targeted the agency’s personnel aiding in recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene.
Ashe County Sheriff Phil Howell said in a statement Sunday that FEMA personnel in North Carolina’s “mountain region” were targeted by threats, prompting FEMA to take precautionary steps and temporarily pause aid operations at other FEMA sites. Neither Ashe County nor its surrounding counties were targeted by the threats, Howell said.

In the landscape of American political journalism, a troubling trend has emerged this election season: the selective editing of the news. The latest case study comes courtesy of “60 Minutes” of CBS News, whose apparent need to repackage Vice President Kamala Harris’ words into a neatly clipped soundbite is raising skepticism about the intent behind it. What makes the whole thing even more troubling is that they’ve withheld the full, unedited transcript of Kamala’s interview. They should have released it not because the Trump campaign labeled it “deceptively edited,” but because journalistic ethics demanded nothing less
I swear to God that this is not about polls, although that Quinnipiac poll on Wednesday shook me up a little. And I understand that it’s hard to determine anything real with all the smoke and noise surrounding the campaign right now. And I also understand that a good fraction of my fellow citizens will believe anything they pick up while Doing Their Own Research on the Intertoobz. And I also understand that a larger fraction of my fellow citizens have surrendered to the Cult of the Vulgar Talking Yam.
Iam not crying for Carl Icahn, who has lost about $17 billion over the last few weeks as investors have fled Icahn Enterprises stock.
I’m talking about it today because the saga offers an important lesson about why the American economy hasn’t been working for most Americans in this era of shareholder capitalism.
Icahn was one of the first of the breed of corporate raiders — now more politely deemed “private equity” managers and “activist investors” — who take over or push corporations to make more money.
THOSE of us who knew from the beginning that the sequence of CoV-SARS-2 contained inserts which could not have possibly occurred naturally, and were similar to ones that had already been published from the Wuhan laboratory, have had to endure unbelievable scorn, scientific ostracism, and the ignominy of being “cancelled” by the mainstream media (MSM) as well as by professional colleagues for nearly three years now.
In the summer of 2020 a paper I co-authored, describing the findings of an Anglo-Norwegian team of scientists who had demonstrated unique “fingerprints” of laboratory manipulation in the COVID virus, was suppressed in both the United States and UK.
Two antibodies have been uncovered that are so effective at neutralizing COVID-19 — and all of its variants — that they believe the antibodies could serve as an “effective substitute for vaccines”
The antibodies — TAU-1109 and TAU-2310 — bind to a different area of the spike protein than other antibodies, one that doesn’t undergo many mutations
TAU-1109 is 92% effective at neutralizing the omicron strain and 90% effective at neutralizing the delta strain
TAU-2310 has an efficacy rate of 84% at neutralizing omicron and a 97% efficacy rate against the delta variant.
The effectiveness of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine against infection turns negative over time, according to a new study that was funded by the vaccine maker.
The effectiveness of three doses—a primary series and a booster—against infection remained above 50 percent after 150 days against BA.1, a subvariant of the Omicron virus variant, researchers estimated.
But against more recent strains, including the currently-dominant BA.5, the effectiveness turned negative.
Against BA.2, BA.4, and BA.5, the effectiveness went negative after 150 days.
Against BA.1.12.1, the effectiveness turned negative after 91 days.
Negative effectiveness means a vaccinated person is more likely to contract COVID-19, the disease the virus causes, than an unvaccinated person.
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Dr. Meryl Nass shares astonishing figures on the blatant PCR testing and case count frauds that occurred during the pandemic
The FDA has given emergency use authorization to 281 tests for COVID-19 but not one has received approval; this means their manufacturers have zero liability if the tests don’t work
The number of people who actually had and/or died from COVID in the beginning of the pandemic is unknown, because everybody who died “with COVID” was labeled a “COVID-caused” death
Hospitals were financially incentivized to increase the number of COVID cases because they got paid more if their patients had a COVID-19 diagnosis

Update (1836ET): After the MSM spent the day in histrionics peddling the falsehood that Trump said Liz Cheney should face a firing squad, - when he was simply calling her a chickenhawk - CNN panelist Jonah Goldberg offered a mea culpa, and has retracted his claim that Trump called for Cheney's execution.
"This morning on CNN I referred to Trump’s “rifles” quote as him advocating a 'firing squad' for Liz Cheney," said Goldberg. "
Dick Cheney did it. Arnold Schwarzenegger did it. Adam Kinzinger did it, of course. So did Jeff Flake. Mike Pence walked right up to the edge but ultimately declined to take the plunge, but even George W. Bush’s daughter, Barbara Pierce Bush, and Dick Cheney’s notorious daughter Liz (that is, former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Jan. 6) jumped right in. And now Liz Cheney is calling upon the biggest prize of all, former President George W. Bush, to join the party for the uniparty and endorse Kamala Harris for president.
Fox News reported late Friday night that Liz made her plea on The New Yorker Radio Hour,
Former Rep. Liz Cheney is calling on former President George W. Bush to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I can’t explain why George W. Bush hasn’t spoken out but I think it’s time, and I wish that he would,” Cheney said on The New Yorker’s Radio Hour. Pressure has been mounting on Bush to support the Democratic presidential nominee in recent weeks as several people close to the 43rd president have backed Harris. In addition to Cheney, her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, endorsed the Democrat.
"In our nation's 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,”
Joe Biden will no longer be campaigning for Kamala Harris after he disastrously called half of all Americans “garbage.”
Biden went viral for insulting Trump supporters and calling them “garbage” while on a video call campaigning to Hispanic voters. (X Video)
The blunder was so bad that the White House was ordered to alter the transcript by the president himself.
The edited transcript makes it appear that Biden was only insulting comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who has faced fallout for a joke about Puerto Rico being covered in garbage during Trump’s Madison Square Garden event.

R&B legend Smokey Robinson dissed women and minorities who are voting for former President Donald Trump in a video in which he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. “Wake up,” the singer proclaimed.
“I really don’t understand how any person of color or any woman could find it in their hearts to vote for Donald Trump,” Robinson declared in a video posted to his social media on Thursday.
“I’ve never felt the need to campaign publicly until now,” the “The Tears Of A Clown” singer said. “This is the most important election of my lifetime, and as far as I’m concerned, it’s a choice between good and evil.”
Former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said Friday on CNN’s “News Central” that “voter suppression activity” was occurring in Georgia despite record turnout.
Co-anchor Kate Bolduan asked, “Early voting has been just breaking records from day one in Georgia. You have been working on improving voter turnout in Georgia for years. What do you think is driving this surge in early voting this time?”
Abrams said, “Well, while we are excited about who’s showing up we have to understand that turnout does not mean there is not voter suppression activity. A lot of those voters in 2020 were able to vote by mail.
President Biden slammed former President Donald Trump as someone “you’d like to smack in the a–” while criticizing his policy goals during a campaign trail event in Pennsylvania Saturday.
Speaking to members of the local carpenters’ union in his hometown of Scranton, Biden sought to bolster labor support for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris in the final days of the 2024 election.
“I know some of you guys are tempted to think he’s this macho guy …but, I’m serious, these are the kind of guys you’d like to smack in the a–,” Biden said, gritting his teeth.
The puzzling remark came after he told attendees — who clapped and cheered
A shocking new poll claims Vice President Harris is leading Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump by three points in reliably conservative Iowa.
The final survey of the 2024 race for the White House from the famed Des Moines Register newspaper puts the Democratic nominee at 47% over Trump at 44%, in what one pollster described as a “stunning reversal” for the Republican.

Democrats desperate to convince vital swing-voters that theirs is not an effete party of snooty coastal elites might be best advised to steer eyes away from the pages of Vogue.
And, in particular, from a breathless July feature introducing readers to the magazine's new 'political correspondent'.
Bob Woodward of Watergate fame, perhaps? CNN anchor Dana Bash? Or maybe veteran political strategist Donna Brazile? No. Vogue was welcoming Jack Schlossberg, John F. Kennedy's only grandson and, more important for the fashion Bible, a Gen-Z dreamboat who lights up TikTok just as his grandpa once caused the hearts of so many '60s women to skip a beat.

for Peanut the Squirrel, Against Gov't Overreach 16 replies
My colleague Bob Hoge wrote earlier about a case of government overreach that just seems astonishing, the story of Peanut the Squirrel.
Mark Longo had a pet squirrel he had saved after the squirrel's mother was killed by a car seven years ago. Peanut, also affectionally known as "P'Nut," became an Instagram star with its interactions with Longo.
Then the NY Department of Environmental Conservation reportedly came into Longo's home and removed Peanut and Fred the Raccoon, another pet. They claimed that Peanut bit one of the investigators, so they euthanized both pets to test for rabies, they claimed.
Now that’s a vote of confidence!
A New Jersey woman tore off her top, swung it like a lasso in defiance and voted in her bra after being told she couldn’t wear a MAGA hat and Trump shirt at the polls.
The white-haired woman was casting her ballot early at a firehouse in Hamilton Township, about five miles east of Trenton, on Oct. 26 when a poll worker asked her to take her pro-Trump hat off and get a jacket from her car to cover her shirt.
Jill Moyer, the Mercer County Board of Elections chairperson, tried to tell the woman she would hold her place in line.
Tim Walz appeared to call Elon Musk a 'gay guy' on the campaign trail - leading to a swift response from the Tesla boss.
The Minnesota Governor made the remark while speaking out against tax cuts for the rich in Michigan - before painting the billionaire as someone who has benefited from them.
'If you're a billionaire, Elon Musk for example,' the aspiring vice president says in viral snippets of the speech, before getting into the apparent gaffe. 'That guy, that gay guy got-'
He proceeds to trail off - before laughing off what Harris's team now says was a slip.

Liar, Liar, Liar. Pants are on fire. It is blatantly obvious that the initial tease was from a word salad shooter mouth and the final cut was, at the bare minimum, highly edited. I can't boycott CBS because I don't watch it now. I guess CBS now stands for Constant BS.
