CNN's Tapper Show Hypes Attacks on J.D. Vance by Taylor Swift Fans, Jennifer Aniston

On Thursday, as CNN shows hyped actress Jennifer Aniston complaining about J.D. Vance quipping that liberals are mostly "childless cat ladies," afternoon host Jake Tapper went so far as to have on CNN entertainment reporter Elizabeth Wagmeister to gloat over the story and tie in Taylor Swift. Setting up the segment, Tapper recalled: "What do Jennifer Aniston, Pete Buttigieg, and Whoopi Goldberg have in common? They are all less than pleased with Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance after a clip from 2021 recently resurfaced. Take a listen to what Vance told Tucker Carlson on Fox back in 2021." Then came a clip of Vance appearing on Fox's Tucker Carlson Tonight from July 29, 2021: We are effectively run in this country -- via the Democrats, via corporate oligarchs -- by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too. And it's just a basic fact if you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC -- the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. It was not clarified that the then-Senate candidate was observing that both men and women who choose not to have children disproportionately tend to be Democrats more than Republicans. Notably, according to the Wikipedia entries for current U.S. Senators, five out of 16 Democrat women, but only one out of nine Republican women do not have children. After reading response statements released by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Vice President Kamala Harris, Tapper then brought in Wagmeister to tie in Aniston and Swift. The CNN reporter tagged Senator Vance's views on abortion as "far right" as she read Aniston's criticism of him: I want to read you some of what she said about this resurfaced clip from J.D. Vance. She said, quote, "I truly can't believe this is coming from a potential VP of the United States." She goes on to say, "Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option because you are trying to take that away from her, too." So there we see Aniston speaking about his far right stance on reproductive rights. Then, even though Swift had not made a statement on the matter, Wagmeister stretched to make her part of the story by relating to viewers that the liberal singer's fans have been taking shots at the Republican vice presidential candidate: But it's not just Jennifer Aniston. One of the most famous and proud -- I will say -- childless cat ladies, we all know, is Taylor Swift. In fact, she appeared on the cover of Time magazine when she was honored as "Person of the Year" with her cat -- there we see it. That's how much we know she loves her cats. Now, Taylor Swift, she has not made any presidential endorsement yet. People are wondering if she may -- if she will -- but the Swifties - per usual -- they are coming out in full force, and they have taken to social media to react to J.D. Vance's comments about "childless cat ladies." I want to read you one of my favorites, Jake. Here it is. Someone said, "Hell hath no fury like a certain childless cat lady who is yet to endorse a presidential candidate." Another Swiftie says that J.D. Vance really, quote, "F-d this one up. The Armageddon is coming for him." So, again, we're waiting to see if we'll get an endorsement from Taylor Swift, but the Swifties are out. Transcript follows: CNN's The Lead with Jake Tapper July 25, 2024 4:39 p.m. Eastern JAKE TAPPER: And we're back with our 2024 Lead, kind of pop culture, too, because the question is: What do Jennifer Aniston, Pete Buttigieg, and Whoopi Goldberg have in common? They are all less than pleased with Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance after a clip from 2021 recently resurfaced. Take a listen to what Vance told Tucker Carlson on Fox back in 2021. J. D. VANCE, THEN-OHIO REPUBLICAN SENATE CANDIDATE: We are effectively run in this country -- via the Democrats, via corporate oligarchs -- by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too. And it's just a basic fact if you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC -- the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. (...) TAPPER: ... Well, let's get right to CNN's Elizabeth Wagmeister in L.A. with perhaps the most interesting critic on this list, Jennifer Aniston, who typically keeps a pretty low profile when it comes to politics, not to mention. What made Ms. Aniston speak out? ELIZABETH WAGMEISTER, CNN ENTERTAINMENT CORRESPONDENT: You're absolutely right, Jake. Jennifer Aniston rarely speaks about her personal life even though she's one of the most famous women on the planet, and rarely enters the political fray, but this is a personal matter for her. Last night, Jake, she took to her Instagram stories. I want to read you some of what she said about this resurfaced clip from J.D. Vance. She said, quote, "I truly can't believe this is coming from a potential VP of the United States." She goes on to say, "Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option because you are trying to take that away from her, too." So there we see Aniston speaking about his far right stance on reproductive rights. And the reason I said this is a personal matter for Aniston is because in 2022, in a cover story with Allure magazine, she revealed for the first time that she had a very difficult journey with her fertility struggle. She said that she tried IVF -- it didn't work. So, again, a personal matter for her that's really resonating with a lot of women today both on the right and the left. But it's not just Jennifer Aniston. One of the most famous and proud -- I will say -- childless cat ladies, we all know, is Taylor Swift. In fact, she appeared on the cover of Time magazine when she was honored as "Person of the Year" with her cat -- there we see it. That's how much we know she loves her cats. Now, Taylor Swift, she has not made any presidential endorsement yet. People are wondering if she may -- if she will -- but the Swifties - per usual -- they are coming out in full force, and they have taken to social media to react to J.D. Vance's comments about "childless cat ladies." I want to read you one of my favorites , Jake. Here it is. Someone said, "Hell hath no fury like a certain childless cat lady who is yet to endorse a presidential candidate." Another Swiftie says that J.D. Vance really, quote, "F-d this one up. The Armageddon is coming for him." So, again, we're waiting to see if we'll get an endorsement from Taylor Swift, but the Swifties are out. TAPPER: You know, I've always been taught that politics is a matter of addition, not subtraction, so that was an interesting choice by Senator Vance...

Maryland Professor Pens Article Suggesting ‘Black People’ Wish Shooter Had Killed Trump

Dr. Stacey Patton

Just days after the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump, a professor at Morgan State University in Maryland penned an op-ed claiming that she and other Black Americans are justified in wishing that the attempt to kill “evil” Trump had been successful.

In Dr. Stacey Patton’s article, “‘Is He Dead?’ Why Black People Are Not Grieving The Failed Assassination Of Donald Trump,” the professor likens the attempt on Trump’s life to two failed attempts against Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and pushes the type of “Trump is Hitler” narrative that lead to the failed attempt on his life.

Patton describes how the world would have been better off had the assassination attempt been successful.

Patton writes:

Is it immoral to yearn for the death of another human being? Of course it is, in most cases.

But when we look back upon the past and see the acrid smoke of crematoriums and mountains of bodies, can you blame people for weighing the value of a single life against the salvation of millions?

Patton uses that twisted logic to say that the July 13th attempt on President Trump’s life is an equivalent moment in time to killing Hitler and thus Black Americans would wish for the former president’s death because they wish for “the death of evil.”

Violence is America’s main currency and Donald Trump has served as the spark for the official rebirth of white supremacy.

Black people are not reveling in violence. We are wishing for the death of evil. We are longing for the prevention of evil. For a moment on Saturday, we held our collective breath. We were suspended in uncertainty, caught between desperation and hope, asking: What if?

Patton then used the moment to attempt to instill fears of violence in the American people by saying, “This failed assassination has radicalized and emboldened his supporters to complete the unfinished business of the first Civil War.”

This is not Patton’s first bizarre take.

Her book Spare the Kids: Why Whupping Children Won’t Save Black America is part of her mission to educate people that spanking is “the whitest thing you can do.”

WATCH: GOP Senate Candidate Destroys Kamala Harris with a Devastating Attack Ad that is Taking the Political World by Storm

Credit: @DaveMcCormickPA

This week, one of the Senate GOP’s prized recruits just laid out the perfect template for countering Kamala Harris’s rise and hopefully ending her White House dreams.

On Tuesday, Pennsylvania GOP Senate candidate Dave McCormick, who is challenging longtime Democrat Senator Bob Casey, dropped an attack ad on Kamala Harris so brutal that the entire political world is taking notice. This was part of McCormick’s effort to tie Casey to who would be the most radical presidential nominee in American history.

The ad opens with Pennsylvania Democrat Senator Bob Casey singing Harris’s praises and predicting people will fall for her.

“Kamala Harris is inspiring and very capable. The more people get to know her, the more they’ll be particularly impressed by her ability,” Casey says.

The advertisement proceeds to show Harris pushing some of the most socialist and terrifying policies imaginable in our country. These include the elimination of the filibuster to pass a Green New Deal, banning fracking, decriminalizing illegal immigration, abolishing ICE, defunding the police, and mandating a gun buyback program.

She even wants to ban the consumption of meat and give voting rights to terrorists like the Boston Marathon bomber!

The ad is one and a half minutes long, and every second is worth watching.

Fracking is a particularly potent issue in Pennsylvania. According to the Fractracker Alliance, the state is home to over 185,000 active conventional gas and oil wells.

The ad has been viewed 2.7 million times. GOP operatives and political journalists predict this will shape attacks against Harris moving forward.

It’s even scaring allies of Joe Biden.

I forgot just how crazy some of these positions were.

-Restricting red meat consumption?
-Letting the Boston bomber vote?
-Abolishing ICE to “start over?”
-Ending the filibuster to pass the Green New Deal?

Even AOC and the squad had to be like “hey take it easy lady.” https://t.co/7223CBMmAo

Given the rigged media environment Republicans are encountering, it will take a unified party and relentless message to take down Harris. However, whether the party is capable is an open question.

Report: Biden Will Announce His Radical Plan to Make Sweeping Changes to SCOTUS Next Week

Guest Post by Miriam Judith

Joe Biden is expected to announce a proposal outlining several radical changes to the Supreme Court during a trip to Texas on Monday.

According to Politico, Biden’s plan is likely to include term limits for justices and an enforceable code of ethics, as well as a constitutional amendment to limit presidential immunity.

This proposed amendment comes in response to the Supreme Court’s July 1 ruling that protected presidents from prosecution for “official acts” during their term, a decision involving the witch-hunt of former President Donald Trump.

Such drastic measures to overhaul the Supreme Court are viewed by critics as a dangerous move towards consolidating power and diminishing our system of checks and balances.

The prospect of a constitutional amendment and new legislation faces significant obstacles and reflects the inability for the Democratic Party to cope over the court’s recent decisions, which they see as a challenge to their narrative.

From Politico:

“Biden is likely to endorse establishing term limits for justices and an enforceable code of ethics, in an announcement that represents a remarkable shift for a president who had long resisted calls to overhaul the high court.

He is also expected to push for a constitutional amendment limiting immunity for presidents and certain other officeholders, in a response to the court’s July 1 ruling that presidents are shielded from prosecution for “official acts” during their time in office, in a case brought by former President Donald Trump.

The specifics of the proposal remain unclear and could still change, said the people, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal planning.”

The ongoing debates underscore a broader ideological battle over the extent of power each branch should wield. Democrats advocating for these reforms are seeking to reshape institutions to align more closely with their policy goals, potentially reshaping the landscape of American governance.

This ambition reflects a deep-seated belief that reforms are essential for achieving a more equitable and just society, even as it raises concerns about maintaining the balance of power that underpins the U.S. political system.

REPORT: Barack Obama Had a Candidate Other Than Kamala Harris in Mind But Biden Endorsed Harris Quickly as a F*** You to Former President

Archive White House photo of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, by Pete Souza

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Biden dropped out of the Presidential race Sunday afternoon and later endorsed Harris as his replacement. This followed a months-long effort by top Democrats led by Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, Bill Clinton, and Nancy Pelosi to force him out.

Now, it turns out Biden may have outmaneuvered Obama after his boss played a role in the coup.

The New York Post reported Friday that Obama told Old Joe to let delegates at next month’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago decide on a new candidate. This caused Biden to quickly endorse Harris as a middle finger to the 44th President.

“It was Joe’s big f*** you,” a family source told the Post. “Joe said, ‘If I’m out, then I am endorsing her.’”

“Joe (was) truly knifing Obama and Pelosi in the back for making him stand down,” a Democrat Party source added.

According to the Post, Obama, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had wanted to hold “a mini primary” to determine who the Democrats would appoint as the nominee. Obama held serious doubts about whether Harris could win the primary or a general election.

But he had a potentially formidable foe in mind from a critical swing state. The Post reported that he wanted Arizona Democrat Senator Mark Kelly, who has successfully portrayed himself as a centrist, to be nominated at the convention to take on Trump in November.

Senator Kelly is married to former Democrat Rep. Gabby Giffords, who was shot in the head and nearly assassinated in January 2011 outside a Safeway grocery store in Casas Adobes, Arizona.

While Senator Kelly is perceived as a more “moderate” and “electable” candidate compared to Harris, he is actually one of America’s foremost gun control activists. Moreover, he has supported abolishing the Senate filibuster to help implement a far-left policy wishlist, including weakening election integrity laws.

Kelly won a special election in November 2020 to fill out the term of the late John McCain, defeating Republican Martha McSally. Two years later, he defeated Blake Masters and won a full six-year term.

In addition to foiling Obama and his convention scheme, Biden reportedly plans to take an active role in Harris’s campaign. A Washington insider told the Post that this would allow him to hold leverage over Harris.

“It allows Biden to retain leverage as a much more experienced hand at national politics, which will be good for her,” the insider claimed. “It means her campaign won’t be run by a bunch of insular advisors.”

CRASS! Harris Hailed as ‘Heartbeat of Hope’ But Trump Told to ‘Tamp It Down’ After Shooting

[LANGUAGE WARNING] It’s not even over yet but the month of July has been one chaotic event after another that have exposed not only leftist journalists’ lack of credibility but also decency.  In the past few weeks we’ve seen network and cable anchors, reporters and pundits attack RNC speakers (see here) while proclaiming President Joe Biden a modern day George Washington for stepping aside to let Kamala “heartbeat of hope” Harris save democracy from Donald Trump. Never mind the fact that Trump literally “took a bullet for democracy.”  In the immediate aftermath of the attempt on Trump’s life, some journalists couldn’t show a basic level of decency by holding back their criticisms for even a few hours.  In the moments after Trump’s shooting, CNN’s Jamie Gangel actually chastised Trump: “After he was hit, former President Trump got up and said ‘fight, fight, fight!’....That’s not the message that we want to be sending right now. We want to tamp it down.” Even worse, Hollywood elites actually made light of the attack on Trump with sick jokes. Tenacious D band member/actor Kyle Gass celebrated his birthday onstage and right before blowing out the candles on his cake, made this wish: “Don’t miss Trump, next time.” HBO’s Insecure actress Amanda Seales didn’t even believe the shooting was real as she suggested the attack was “staged.”  The following are the most obnoxious outbursts from leftist journalists and celebrities during the month of July:   Kamala Harris is a “Heartbeat of Hope” for Democracy     “We spent three weeks sitting outside the ICU with a death watch for democracy watching what would happen after that debate if Donald Trump were able to get back in the White House and it was terrifying…Then suddenly a crack open of hope. One little heartbeat of hope. Kamala Harris raising her hand and saying ‘I’ll take care of this,’ and you saw an explosion of support and energy.”— Contributor Van Jones on CNN Newsroom, July 23.   Harris Must Win Or It Will Be a “Very Dark Place for This Country” “It’s historic. It’s also, many people believe, all that’s standing between the United States and a very, very dark place for this country.”— Co-host Joe Scarborough on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, July 23.   GOP’s Racist and Misogynist “Scare Tactic”  “For years it’s been a Republican scare tactic. A vote to reelect President Joe Biden, the GOP often charges, is really a vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. It’s an attack line sometimes tinged with racist and misogynist undertones and often macabre imagery. But after Biden’s dismal performance at last week’s presidential debate, which has sparked Democratic calls for him to step aside, what was once dismissed as a far-right conspiracy — Harris replacing Biden — could now have a chance of coming to pass. And Republicans, including Donald Trump, are ramping up their attacks.”— National political reporter Jill Colvin in a July 5 AP story.    Joe Biden “In the Company of George Washington” and… “Mr. Biden has spent a lifetime trying to do right by the nation, and he did so in the most epic of ways when he chose to end his campaign for re-election. His decision is one of the most remarkable acts of leadership in our history. An act of self-sacrifice that places him in the company of George Washington, who also stepped away from the presidency.”— Former Newsweek editor/presidential historian Jon Meacham in July 22 New York Times column “Joe Biden, My Friend and an American Hero” “This moment puts him….with a bunch of American greats….The sort of George Washingtons of the world.”— Anchor Abby Phillip on CNN’s live coverage of President Joe Biden’s address to the nation, July 24. “This was selfless on a level — I think — that’s important in a way that we talk about George Washington being selfless.”— MSNBC host Joy Reid on MSNBC’s live coverage of President Joe Biden’s address to the nation, July 24.   …Lincoln, FDR, Cincinnatus     “Remember how eerily empty the Capitol was once the protesters, the rioters, the insurrectionists were gone? He stood in that strangely quiet West front to step into a moment in which democracy itself was under the greatest siege it’d been since FDR had been there in 1933. And before that, since Abraham Lincoln had been there, both of them on the other side of the Capitol in 1861. And that’s not overly grand. That’s not hyperbolic, as President Biden would say. It is, I think, a cold-eyed assessment of the reality of the history of the moment….We are a more perfect union because of President Biden. I think history is going to laud him for it.”— Former Newsweek editor/presidential historian Jon Meacham on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, July 22.     “He [Joe Biden] will be remembered as a great President. He will be mentioned in the same sentence as George Washington. Why? Because selflessly leaving power and the circumstances of him clinging to it in the last three weeks will be forgotten. The basic decision to leave power which started with Cincinnatus in 439 B.C.E., and then George Washington picks up from Cincinnatus, and the city of course is named for this. Why Cincinnatus? Why is he still so well known? Because this selfless act of leaving power — which in human history is an extremely rare thing to do — elevates you. And in combination with the record of genuine achievement, it will put Joe Biden in very, very good stead in terms of history.”— Former MSNBC contributor Jonathan Alter on NBC Morning News Now, July 22.      “President Biden….will be honored and revered and beloved and have a large place in American history because he did so much to save democracy….George Washington in 1795 said, ‘If democracy is going to work, political leaders have to leave power even if they can have more, so, therefore, I’m retiring to Mt. Vernon.’ Joe Biden is doing exactly the same thing….He said, ‘The stakes for democracy are so great this year. Donald Trump could make this into a dictatorship, steal all of our rights, that I’m going to do what the toughest thing a politician perhaps can do, which is to walk away from power.’”— NBC News presidential historian Michael Beschloss on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, July 22.    Hailing Heroic Joe for Stepping Up “When Democracy Needed It”     “Here is somebody giving up power, okay, somebody who their whole career was counted out, so it’s giving up power and moving against personal instinct, which is ‘I’m going to show ‘em when they count me out’ and it’s worked for him. And that’s quite a contrast to Donald Trump, who was so desirous to hang on to power that according to the leaders in his own party, he inspired an attack on the Capitol. So to the extent you celebrate this decision by Joe Biden in this period of time and don’t immediately get on to [Kamala] Harris, it actually works to the Democratic party’s benefit.”— Correspondent John Dickerson on CBS News’s live coverage of President Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race, July 22. “Tonight gratitude is the word for so many people in this country, pointing to Joe Biden now and calling him a patriot who stepped in when democracy needed it.”— Anchor David Muir on ABC’s live coverage of President Joe Biden’s speech, July 24. “Most heroes, they fight to the bitter end. He fell on his sword. He’s an old guy but the heart’s still there….You had a guy [Donald Trump] sitting in that chair and he wouldn’t give up power, no matter what….You got somebody sitting in that same chair showing that character does matter. Showing that you can have grace. You can put the people first. You can pass the baton and you are a bigger person for it. You’re gonna be more loved for it. So you got two examples of what men with power do and how they act at the end. And you couldn’t act any better than Joe Biden. That kid with the stutter grew up, he did a great job for this country and he’s doing a great job tonight. And I love that man!”— Political commentator Van Jones on CNN’s live coverage of President Joe Biden’s speech, July 24.   He Just Got Shot But Trump Really Needs to Lower “The Temperature,” “Tamp It Down”     “He is recovering from these injuries now. This was a traumatic event no doubt for him, but I did notice there was no call for lowering the temperature, condemning all political violence, and really trying to signal to his supporters as well not to retaliate or to have any kind of escalation here. I just am looking at these [Trump’s Truth Social] statements.— CBS Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan on CBS News live coverage of the Trump assassination attempt, July 13.  “There was one thing that — when I watched the tape — I found odd, because of all of the heated rhetoric. And that is that after he was hit, former President Trump got up and said ‘fight, fight, fight!’ I think what we’re hearing from people is that’s not the message that we want to be sending right now. We want to tamp it down.”— Correspondent Jamie Gangel on CNN’s live coverage of the Trump assassination attempt, July 13.   Bringing Back the “Bloodbath” Hoax Right After Assassination Attempt     Moderator George Stephanopoulos: “President Trump and his supporters have contributed to this violent rhetoric as well.”...Correspondent Martha Raddatz: “He warned last March of potential death and destruction if he were charged by the Manhattan District Attorney….Trump in January warned of bedlam in the country if the criminal charges against him succeeded. And, of course, in March he said ‘Now, if I don’t get elected it’s going to be a bloodbath.’....You have heard it from supporters as well and supporters are certainly, in some parts, angry.”— ABC’s This Week, July 14.   WashPost Art Critic: Iconic Trump Fist Pic Aids “Darkest Forces” in America “[AP photographer Evan] Vucci’s photo will create a reality more real than reality, transforming the chaos and messiness of a few moments of peril onstage in Pennsylvania into a surpassing icon of Trump’s courage, resolve and heroism. Densely packed with markers of nationalism and authority — the flag, the blood, the urgent faces of federal agents in dark suits — it will encourage some of the darkest forces in American civic life.”— Washington Post art critic Philip Kennicott in a July 14 article.   PBS “Conservative” Proclaims: No Reason to Dump Joe, He’s Just Like Reagan     “It [Joe Biden’s press conference] reminded me when I used to watch Reagan….back when I was a young Reaganite. And I would, like, watch the press conferences through closed — like my hands up, like, what’s he going to say now? I hope it’s not bad. I hope it’s not bad. But when you looked at the judgments that he made about world history and historical events, in my view, Reagan’s judgments were sound about the Soviet Union. And I felt that way with Biden….which is a little mentally slow, a little cumbersome in his articulation, but basically with sound judgments.”"— New York Times columnist/PBS contributor David Brooks on PBS’s NewsHour, July 12.   MSNBC Cites Founding Fathers in Defense of Stormy Daniels “She [Stormy Daniels] is a brave woman and I don’t want to tie her immediately to early American history, but I almost can’t help but do it. Because the Founders and early Americans, we fought for independence from England so that we would have a system unlike England. No one could ever stand up to the king. You couldn’t criticize the king without destroying your life. The whole idea of America was that this would be a society where we would benefit from everyone’s criticism….The Founders said the humblest person could stand up to the President of the United States, criticize him, you know, say that he had done things wrong. He might not like it, but that person would not have their life destroyed. And that’s what happened to Stormy Daniels.” — NBC News presidential historian Michael Beschloss on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, July 2.   Trump’s “Blueprint for a Fascist Regime”     Co-host Joy Behar: “Has anyone out there heard of Project 2025?...It’s a far-right plan for destroying democracy that Trump’s team wants to implement on day one….They want to ban abortion, starve schoolchildren, eliminating breakfast and lunch for school kids, they want to have mass deportations of immigrants, they want to gut health care….They’re dismantling a lot of stuff about the environment already….It’s the blueprint for a fascist regime.”... Co-host Sunny Hostin: “It’s a very dark, dark vision of what America could look like and would look like under a Trump administration. I mean, it becomes a dictatorship and he becomes the king, the Supreme Court has already anointed him as king.”— ABC’s The View, July 12.   Now That He’s on the Way Out: Joe Was “One of the Greatest Presidents”      “I think it shows what a statesman he is. I think it show what a patriot he is. I think it shows he can put his country before his ego, because he had such a great record as president….I think that history will note him as one of the greatest presidents that we’ve had.”— Co-host Sunny Hostin on ABC’s The View, July 22.   Sick Joke! Comedian Wishes Shooter Doesn’t Miss Trump Next Time     Actor/musician Jack Black: “Make a wish!”...Actor/musician Kyle Gass, before blowing out birthday cake candles: “Don’t miss Trump, next time.”— On stage exchange between Jack Black and Kyle Gass at their band Tenacious D’s July 14 performance in Sydney, Australia. Black apologized and canceled the tour.

Recently Retired Border Patrol Union President Lays Out the ‘Very Disappointing’ Truth About Kamala Harris’ Immigration Efforts

Brandon Judd speaking to reporters in Eagle Pass, Texas

Brandon Judd speaking to reporters in Eagle Pass, Texas

As Vice President Kamala Harris gets closer to securing the Democratic Party’s nomination for the presidency, the left is scrambling to cover up her record of total failure at the southern border.

Despite being dubbed the “border czar,” we are now told that such a title never existed and that Harris did not have the job of addressing why millions of illegals easily stream into this country. To be sure, that was the job she was given, and now those who worked alongside her are speaking out about the poor job she did.

Brandon Judd, recently retired as president of the Border Patrol Union, spoke out about working alongside Harris on immigration issues, Fox News reported.

He recalled, “It’s very disappointing. We gave her the policies that she needed to implement. She refused to implement those.”

According to numbers cited by Fox, as Judd worked with Harris, border crossings reached all-time highs for 2021, 2022, and 2023.

Fox reported, crossings from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras made up 41 percent of border apprehensions in 2021. This number dropped to 21 percent by the 2023 fiscal year.

Before we start applauding her, understand what that means.

Illegals apprehended from those places dropped. We absolutely cannot conclude from that statistic that the number of illegals coming from those countries into the United States has actually dropped.

Furthermore, that could also be taken to mean that the number of illegal immigrants from other countries rose — drastically.

Harris’ job under President Joe Biden’s “Root Causes” executive order was to address why illegal immigrants from these northern triangle countries were flooding the border.

Harris negotiated in June 2021 to send $4 billion to Central American countries to address the root causes of illegal immigration during a visit to Mexico, which also resulted in private companies investing an additional $5.2 billion in those countries.

However, she has not been to the border or any of these countries since January 2022.

No new commitments have been made, and illegal immigration continues to be a major problem.

As Judd put it, Harris did not understand what the actual issues were that lead to this migration influx.

“The major problem is the root causes she identified: political instability, climate and crime,” he told Fox. “That was the same under President Trump, yet we did not see an explosion in illegal immigration under the Trump administration.”

Judd elaborated further.

“She has not addressed any of the root causes, and she refuses to recognize what the actual root causes are.”

“If she would have dealt with what she identified, we would have less illegal immigration, but she didn’t even deal with those causes that she identified.”

If Judd’s remarks about Harris foreshadow what her presidency would entail, the border will only be the beginning.

This was Harris’ job, and she failed miserably.

When looking back at three and a half years under the Biden administration, what record does she have to stand on?

She failed to address the border, gave speeches full of word salads and inappropriate laughter, and helped perpetuate the sham that the president was not senile and unfit to serve.

Context Around JD Vance’s ‘Childless Cat Lady’ Remarks Surfaces – Media Owes Him an Apology

Initiation into former President Donald Trump’s inner circle involves dishonest establishment figures making you the object of a new hoax.

Amid a whirlwind of surreal events over the past two weeks, Trump’s selection of Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio as his 2024 running mate flew a bit under the radar, though that did not prevent the emergence of an establishment-fueled hoax about Vance’s 2021 “childless cat ladies” remarks.

Impervious to truth and eager to sow discord, establishment figures have repeated Vance’s comments while omitting crucial context.

Thursday on the social media platform X, however, Trump 2024 national press secretary Karoline Leavitt shared a 30-second clip that provided said context and subsequently went viral, thus proving once again that sharing evidence far and wide constitutes the most effective antidote to toxic liberal gaslighting.

The controversy over Vance’s comments began in earnest on Monday, when liberal journalist and former federal prosecutor Ron Filipkowski posted to X a 28-second clip of Vance speaking in 2021 with then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

“We’re effectively run in this country, via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too,” Vance said.

The then-candidate for U.S. Senate identified Vice President Kamala Harris, presumptive 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, along with Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, as present and future leaders of the Democratic Party who, because they have no children, “don’t really have a direct stake” in the future of the United States.

“JD Vance says women who haven’t given birth like Kamala Harris are ‘childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives,’ and have ‘no direct stake’ in America,” Filipkowski wrote in an accompanying post.

That is, of course, not what Vance said. But the dishonest Filipkowski posted it anyway.

— Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) July 22, 2024

As one would expect, prominent women — deprived of context by Filipkowski’s editing — jumped at the chance to signal their virtue.

According to USA Today, actress Jennifer Aniston took to Instagram to chastise Vance for something he never said.

“All I can say is… Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too,” Aniston wrote.

Meanwhile, nominal Republican Meghan McCain, daughter of the late Sen. John McCain of Arizona, joined the chorus of faux indignation.

“One of my best friends did rounds and rounds of unsuccessful IVF wanting to have a child. It is still painful to talk about. This ‘childless women’ comment by JD Vance has made so many waves with so many different friends of mine for it’s insensitivity and cruelty to women,” McCain posted on Wednesday.

— Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) July 24, 2024

To recap, Vance specifically used the phrase “miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made.” In other words, he clearly meant to refer to a certain kind of person who remained childless by choice. He even mentioned Buttigieg, which proved that he did not have only women in mind.

Filipkowski then distorted Vance’s words to mean not women who regret a choice but all “women who haven’t given birth.” Aniston and McCain ran with Filipkowski’s lie.

On Thursday, however, Leavitt responded directly to McCain.

Leavitt’s 30-second clip, which had more than 3.8 million views on X as of Friday morning, showed Vance speaking to the conservative Intercollegiate Studies Institute in 2021. The comments he made there refer the ones he made in his interview with Carlson.

“A lot of people are unable to have kids for very complicated and important reasons,” Vance told ISI event attendees.

“The target of these remarks is not them. It’s important to point that out. There have always been people like that, who even though they would like to have kids [are] unable to have them. Let’s set them to the side,” he added moments later.

In other words, Vance specifically excluded from his remarks the unfortunate and heartbroken women to whom Aniston and McCain referred.

“As a new mom, my heart aches for women who are unable to bear children. @JDVance words are being taken out of context and unfairly attacked,” Leavitt wrote in an accompanying post.

— Karoline Leavitt (@kleavittnh) July 25, 2024

In the interest of full disclosure, I should say that 15 years ago I also participated in an ISI event. There, I heard former Republican presidential candidate Alan Keyes make remarks similar to Vance’s.

At the time, I took offense to Keyes’ remarks. After all, years of chasing career-related goals had trained me to bristle at any reference to my own childlessness.

Today, however, I recognize that Keyes had it right. And so did Vance.

The ubiquitous modern lie that human beings can best fill their lives with meaning by pursuing professional advancement instead of building a family has left me and many others I know from my generation facing a lonely old age.

I made the choice not to have children, so I harbor no resentment.

But that gets exactly to Vance’s point: Others have made the same choice and have experienced deep misery as a result. Those people, hampered by a leftist indoctrination that encourages resentment on Marxist ideological grounds and unwilling to confront the terrible consequences of their choices, have no business spreading the fulfillment-through-career lie to a new generation.

Perhaps, therefore, we could stop with the hoaxes and start taking seriously the question of what actually makes life meaningful.

A retired DEA Agent writes on Twitter:

The following is based on information I have received from people who are very close to some ongoing federal investigations.

These investigations will undoubtedly soon end THE MASSACHUSETTS CORRUPTION PROBLEM that we have all been witnessing and experiencing.

THE MASSACHUSETTS CORRUPTION PROBLEM that we are all watching and experiencing is actually a UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CORRUPTION PROBLEM that has been under an intense, extensive, unprecedented, and massive investigation around the country for several years.

The ongoing nation-wide investigations are targeting judges, legislators, governors, and other public officials working in every state, commonwealth, and inhabited territory in The United States of America.

The investigations into the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CORRUPTION PROBLEM have been going on for years and have heated up considerably, all over the country, because the investigators have compiled enough evidence against enough public officials to bring this whole corrupt system down at once.

The bottom line is there has apparently been an anti-American globalist scheme operating, in the background, for decades.

The plan was apparently set in motion to control the judges, legislators, and governors around the United States under one central system operating outside The United States of America. This seems to explain why there are so many bad judges and prosecutors in place, all over the country at this time, and why nobody in any position of power seems willing to fix things by removing the corrupt individuals from power.

How could this happen?

My outside sources tell me that the nation-wide, ongoing investigations have focused on the funding of the scheme, and it involves some corporate entities and other well-known names that you will recognize, including:
the Open Society Foundations, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, other corporate entities such as Google, Apple, Walmart, and The World Bank, and a number of other domestic and foreign malign actors, as defined by the FBI.

The investigators around the country have it all, and soon the public will know. This is because the investigators who are outside of Massachusetts are furious about what has been happening, and they are not nearly as tolerant of corruption as the public officials in Massachusetts appear to be and allegedly are.

We will soon get control of our country once the corrupt public officials among us, and beyond, are publicly exposed and punished under the law.

I will brief more on this as the information is made available.

He also is not practicing law at the moment but you know the relationships did not just evaporate.

The fake fact-checkers have falsely denied and connection but how is that possible when Emhoff is refusing to disclose?

From a 2020 National Pulse article by Raheem Kassam
@RaheemKassam
which is even more relevant today than ever:

REVEALED: Kamala Harris’s Husband’s Firm Reps Chinese Communist Party-Owned Corporates, Employs Ex-CCP Officials

Kamala Harris’s husband’s firm, DLA Piper, consults on behalf of a bevy of Chinese Communist Party-owned companies and employs former Chinese Communist Party officials.

DLA Piper, a multinational law firm, boasts nearly 30 years of experience in China and over 140 lawyers dedicated to its “China Investment Services” branch.

Harris’s links to the company are found with her husband, Douglas Emhoff, who has served as a Partner in the firm’s Intellectual Property and Technology practice and its Media, Sport, and Entertainment sector since 2017.

DLA Piper boasts of having “long-established and embedded “China Desks” in both the U.S. and Europe” to assist their China-focused consulting, prompting questions about how the firm’s potential proximity to the White House could be leveraged by DLA Piper, exploited by the Chinese Communist Party, or represent a financial conflict of interest for the Vice Presidential candidate.

Potential Kamala running mate Sen Mark Kelly has not faced the harsh spotlight of a national campaign, and has potential political liabilities like a high-altitude surveillance balloon company he helped found with Chinese venture capital.

Jim Kramer says Kamala Harris is going to take off. Looks like this election is a wrap. Congratulations, President Trump.

Shocking poll says a shocking third of Democratic voters wished Trump had left his July 13 campaign event in a body bag. We are at war, and truth be told, there are a lot of people we wish were in body bags. If you assume democrats at half the population, (a decent overestimate) that would mean about 16.6% wanted Trump dead. I will bet the majority of those wishing that are domestic surveillance, and in the conspiracy.

FBI statement on Trump assassination attempt: “What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle.” Director Wray tried to claim Trump may have been hit by shrapnel, or random debris, despite a bullet’s vapor trail captured on film. Wray seems a genuine bad guy, in charge of the whole FBI.

How did the three-man sniper team overlooking Crook’s position miss him?:

There was a three man SWAT sniper team located in this position. One member of the team went home early — not sure how this was allowed but it happened. The remaining two snipers positioned in this room were notified that a suspicious individual [Crooks] was lurking outside the building. One team member left his position to investigate, leaving just one sniper with overwatch of the roof.

The investigating team member found nothing and in the process of returning to his position realized he had forgotten his access card into the building. The last remaining sniper with overwatch LEFT [!!!] the position to retrieve his team member locked outside.

Crooks crawled across the roof and fired on Trump while this fully-equipped sniper nest with a perfect view of Crooks assassin position was left completely UNMANNED.

NewsBusters Podcast: How Is It 'News' That the Obamas Endorsed Kamala?

The networks cover a plane crash, but they don’t cover the planes that land safely. So in politics, did anyone think it was shocking that the Obamas were going to endorse Kamala? They're world-famous and adored by Democrats, but it's still the opposite of surprising. What the networks hyped was a very phony, very staged fake phone call (notice Kamala wearing a microphone on her lapel, like everyone does when taking a phone call). They delayed this video until the morning of the beginning of the Olympics. Squeeze it in now!  They loved that, and they love celebrity endorsers like Beyonce...when they endorse Democrats. Kamala is using a Beyonce song to insist the theme of her campaign is "Freedom." Are you kidding? A socialist candidate in 2020 who supported the most severe Covid lockdowns and vaccine mandates is the "Freedom" candidate?  One of the themes we are sort of dreading over the next 100 days or so are being accused daily, even hourly for spewing sexism and racism just by speaking negatively about Kamala. Even mispronouncing her name drew a full segment on CNN. Kasie Hunt was having a cow, and she turned to an actual Karen, Karen Finney to fuss and whine that it’s not hard to pronounce! It's Comma-La! You can call Trump Hitler or an existential threat to democracy, and that's not rude. Mispronouncing it "kuh-MAHL-a" is deeply racist.  Bobby Burack at Outkick revealed a Democrat memo instructing their minions to claim the term "border czar" did not exist until Republicans invented it. Kamala was not given any authority to stem the tide of immigration. All of this is plainly false. Read the "mainstream media" in 2021. Bill D'Agostino made a video displaying how supinely the media repeated the talking-points memo. We also dig in to how the networks and major papers sanitized the violent and ugly protests against Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress this week. Leftist protesters fought and shoved police and burned the American flag near the Capitol. They pulled down the American flag and replaced it with the Palestinian flag. Some flew the Hamas flag and vandalized monuments with spray-painted slogans like “Hamas is comin’” and “I commend Hamas.”  But the leftist media can't describe the protesters as ideological in any way, or as "extremists." That's not the way they handle conservative protesters. Enjoy the podcast below, or wherever you listen. 

PBS: Idea That Kids Need Mother and Father Is a Scary ‘Christian Nationalist’ Sentiment

Who did Amanpour & Co. invite on to discuss the supposed “Christian Nationalism” running rampant within Project 2025, the feared, loathed, seldom read presidential blueprint issued by the Heritage Foundation? Nobody but Kristin Kobes Du Mez, the author of something called Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation. Bianna Golodryga was the fill-in host on Christiane Amanpour’s political talk show (whose episodes run on tax-funded PBS after first airing on CNN International) and set up the interview between liberal author Kristin Kobes Du Mez and liberal journalist Michel Martin by borrowing Du Mez's subtitle: “Historian Kristin Kobes Du Mez tells Michel Martin how white evangelicals how white evangelicals have corrupted a faith and fractured a nation.” Golodryga justified the show's paranoid liberal focus on Project 2025 by noting “the contributors of the conservative playbook include some of [Trump’s closest political advisers, as well as organizations with Christian nationalist leanings.” Martin confirmed the show’s producers had booked Du Mez as a voice known to be hostile to her idea of “Christian Nationalism.” Michel Martin: I want to focus our conversation on Project 2025, but before we get into that, I did just want to get your take on the Republican Convention. One of the reasons we called you is that we last spoke with you about your 2020 book, "Jesus and John Wayne," and you argued that -- in that book, you argued that modern American evangelicalism has kind of replaced the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of kind of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism. Did you see that playing out over the course of the convention week? Du Mez: Absolutely. That really is the vision. It's not a deep theological vision. It's a vision for a Christian America, kind of need to put that in quotes, Christian America. A vision of the country that says this country belongs to some people, but not to all people. It's a vision of America that draws a stark boundary between real Americans, those who are on God's side, who are trying to restore Christian America, and enemies and threats to America, to this vision for Christian America. And that is an ideology that has run through conservative evangelicalism…. The talk turned to Project 2025. Du Mez: [It’s] pretty much a conservative political playbook, although, more extreme than we've often seen in recent years. But it also brings together a proposal to essentially restructure the federal government….a tool to completely restructure the government to give more power to the executive….it's worth noting that many of the conservative organizations that have either contributed to or signed on to Project 2025 are distinctly Christian organizations…. here you can see the Christian Nationalist agenda is then going to be placed in the hands of an executive with unprecedented power…. Du Mez warned of the horrible policies in the document, including “restricting the anti-abortion pill, mifepristone” and restricting the mailing of contraceptives. Then Martin took the common-sense idea that children are better off with a mother and father into an establishment of a state religion. Martin: In some of these proposals, there really is an explicitly Christian tone or Christian Nationalist tone in their Mandate for Leadership. For example, in their plans for the Department of Health and Human Services, it emphasizes maintaining a "biblically based definition of marriage and family," as it states, "for the sake of child wellbeing, programs should affirm that children require and deserve both the love and nurturing of a mother and the play and protection of a father." OK. That is a point of view, but we have a very long-established principle here of, avoiding the establishment of kind of a state religion. How would this pass muster in the courts?.... A transcript is available, click “Expand.” Amanpour & Co. 7/24/24 2:07:26 a.m. (ET) GOLODRYGA: Returning now back to the U.S. where the political blueprint for the next Republican president, Project 2025, has drawn criticism, not only from the Democrats, but also from Donald Trump himself, calling the 900-page document "seriously extreme." Yet, the contributors of the conservative playbook include some of his closest political advisers, as well as organizations with Christian nationalist leanings. Historian Kristin Kobes Du Mez speaks to Michel Martin about the rise of evangelicalism in politics and the impact it could have on American democracy. MICHEL MARTIN, CONTRIBUTOR: Kristin Kobes Du Mez, thank you so much for talking with us once again. KRISTIN KOBES DU MEZ, AUTHOR, "JESUS AND JOHN WAYNE": Happy to be here. Thanks for having me. MARTIN: So, I want to focus our conversation on Project 2025, but before we get into that, I did just want to get your thoughts. Take on the Republican Convention. One of the reasons we called you is that we last spoke with you about your 2020 book, "Jesus and John Wayne," and you argued that -- in that book, you argued that modern American evangelicalism has kind of replaced the Jesus of the gospels with an idol of kind of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism. Did you see that playing out over the course of the convention week? DU MEZ: Absolutely. You know, that really is the vision. It's not a deep theological vision. "It's a vision for a Christian America," kind of need to put that in quotes, Christian America vision of the country that says this country belongs to some people, but not to all people. It's a vision of America that draws a stark boundary between real Americans, those who are on God's side, who are trying to restore Christian America, and enemies and threats to America, to this vision for Christian America. And that is an ideology that has run through conservative evangelicalism. You can see it also in conservative Catholicism in some places, in the Pentecostal charismatic tradition that's really been cultivated for half a century now. If you look back to the rise of the Christian right, you can see this, a very us versus them mentality that depicts kind of the Christians ought to have control of this country and anybody who threatens that control is seen as an enemy. And that's the kind of theology that plays very well to Donald Trump. Because he has promised to protect Christianity, right? His words. He has promised to be their ultimate fighting champion and to battle ruthlessly for, you know, presumably their vision, which aligns with his vision, which is an open question, but that's who he has promised to be for them. And that is really a key to understanding Christian support in this country for Donald Trump. They think he will fight for them and he will give power to them. MARTIN: So, tell me about Project 2025. I mean, if people have been following the campaign closely, they may have heard of this. What is it and why do you think it's so important that we talk about it? DU MEZ: Project 2025 is a lengthy document, around 900 pages, put together by the Heritage Foundation. And then, signed on to by over 100 conservative organizations, which essentially provides Trump or the next Trump administration with a blueprint or policy proposals and pretty much a conservative political playbook. Although, more extreme than we've often seen in recent years. But it also brings together a proposal to essentially restructure the federal government. And that's what's key to understanding about Project 2025. It's not just the policy playbook, it's also a tool to completely restructure the government to give more power to the executive. So, we've already seen the recent Supreme Court ruling that grants presidential immunity, and here we're seeing a playbook that is essentially going to hand considerable power across the executive branch, across federal agencies, and place that power entirely in the hands of the next president. MARTIN: Why is this a particular concern of yours as a scholar of religion and theology? I mean, the Heritage Foundation isn't a religious organization. Why is it that you've spent so much focus and attention on this? DU MEZ: First, it's worth noting that many of the conservative organizations that have either contributed to or signed on to Project 2025 are distinctly Christian organizations, and you've got Christian colleges like Liberty University and Patrick Henry College, and you do have Dobson's Family Institute signing on to this document. So, we have to think in terms of partnerships here. A key person here, a key figure is Russell Vought. Russell Vought actually is a former Trump administration official in the office of management and budget, and he also was the director of the committee that wrote the Republican Party platform, right? So, there's very deep ties in the Trump administration and close connections to Trump. He is also self-proclaimed Christian nationalist with very close ties to leading Christian nationalist voices in various denominations across this country. And Vought wrote the chapter on executive power. So, here you can see the Christian nationalist agenda is then going to be placed in the hands of an executive with unprecedented power. And this is important because if you look at survey data on Christian nationalism, what you see is that the majority of Americans do not identify as Christian nationalists. The majority of Americans do not want a Christian nation, according to this framework. So, democracy is not going to get them to their end goal, but this kind of executive power grab may in fact accomplished -- accomplish what they are setting out to do. MARTIN: It really envisions kind of a top to bottom overhaul of the federal government. What are some of the things that it proposes? DU MEZ: First in terms of government structure. Really important here is it proposes essentially redefining thousands, probably tens of thousands of federal workers as political appointees. And so, the goal here is to install, some people suggest 20,000, some as many as 50,000 federal workers, civil servants, you essentially fire those who are currently staffing federal agencies and replacing them with Trump loyalists. And in fact, part of Project 2025 is what people have referred to as a kind of conservative LinkedIn. And so, there's a recruitment database and online training to train ideologically and in terms of practical skills to staff a new federal government with loyalists to Trump across all agencies. And this includes the Department of Justice. And this is a really key point to understand in terms of the repercussions here. Trump himself has made very plain that he wants to weaponize the Department of Justice and seize control over operations and then use that to seek retribution against his political enemies. Project 2025 gives him the game plan to achieve that goal. And so, that's what we have in terms of government restructuring. There's much more on that front. But then in terms of policies, we have things about restricting the anti-abortion pill, mifepristone, for example, withdrawing FDA approval for that. Re-invoking the Comstock Act, going deep into American history there, which will prohibit the mailing of abortion pills, possibly also, depending how far they take it, to contraceptives, those sorts of things. Anti-LGBTQ legislation, anti-DEI, proposals to prohibit their use of language, of words, in federal laws and regulations. Things like abortion, reproductive health, gender identity, gender equity, these sorts of terms are going to be canceled and not allowed in any federal laws or regulations. So, it really is expansive in scope. MARTIN: In some of these proposals, there really isn't explicitly Christian tone or Christian nationalist tone in their mandate for leadership. For example, in the and plans for the Department of Health and Human Services, it emphasizes maintaining a "biblically based definition of marriage and family, "as it states, "for the sake of child wellbeing, programs should affirm that children require and deserve both the love and nurturing of a mother and the play and protection of a of a father." OK. That is a point of view, but we have a very long-established principle here of avoiding the establishment of kind of a state religion. How would this pass muster in the courts? I mean, the courts have still upheld these long-held principles that suggest that you cannot advantage one religious view over others. How did -- how do they get around that? DU MEZ: Yes, I'm really glad you pointed to that particular passage, which could have some real implications, obviously for same sex marriage, for adoption, even potentially for divorce. And so, that's really key. And it's rooting that proposal in what they claim to be biblical marriage, a biblical prescription for what marriage is and is not. And there's another passage that is really important to understand the framework here. The idea that the constitution guarantees the freedom or liberty to do what one ought to do, not what one wants to do. And that really is foundation of Christian nationalism. Yes, you are free to obey God's laws. And we are going to structure this country around God's laws. And then they redefine rather than the right and to the pursuit of happiness, they say it's actually the pursuit of blessedness. And you are blessed when you obey these laws. What are those laws? Well, this is where you can look at the whole conservative agenda here. It's going to be anti-abortion. It's going to be anti-LGBTQ. And so, these rights do not exist within their framework. And so, they are redefining our nation's constitution, reinterpreting it through this lens, that the only rights that are guaranteed are those that align with their understanding of God's law. MARTIN: I think you still identify as a Christian. Would that be accurate? DU MEZ: Yes, I do. MARTIN: I'm just curious, like, why is this the version of Christianity that is ascendant now when so many other people have a different interpretation of it? DU MEZ: So, there are many people who have said, are saying, you know, wait a minute. This does not align with how I understand Jesus words in the gospels. This is not under -- align with how I think we are called to be faithful in this world. But when you offer voices of opposition your chances are you're going to run up against some real opposition. And many conservative organizations are funded by powerful conservative donors. And this is true in higher education, and this is also true in term in the Christian nonprofit world. There are all kinds of pressures, the Christian media world, Christian music, right? It's very hard to find a Christian recording artist who will publicly call out some of these things, because if they do, their career is done. At least they're not going to get any airtime on Christian radio, right? In terms of Christian publishing of a multibillion-dollar industry, we're talking. And I think people outside of Christian spaces or conservative spaces are not aware of this massive industry. And so much money is changing hands here. And within that industry, there are political orthodoxies that you have to hold to. And if you cross any of those, right, you're not going to get the book contract, you're not going to get the record deal. And so, what we have is a kind of -- I mean, indoctrination may not be too strong of a word, but certainly, the cultivation of one particular way to be a Christian and closing off many of these other understandings of what it means to be a Christian in this country and in the world today. MARTIN: Before I let you go, there is just one thing that I'm sort of just -- I still remain puzzled by, and that is Former Vice President Mike Pence. There is no denying that he was a man of deep and sincere faith. OK. So, I'm just curious, like why the treatment of him isn't more resonant among other evangelicals. I mean, he's made it clear, he was very badly treated. I mean, there are people calling for him to be killed. DU MEZ: Mike Pence is the perfect example, I think, of how a lot of conservative Christians and a large swath of conservative evangelicals have embraced a Christian nationalist agenda. And within that Christian nationalism, personal piety is not what makes somebody a great leader. Not at all. In fact, that might actually work against the person in terms of their leadership capacity. What they want is a fighter. They want somebody who will fight their battles for them. They want somebody who will take on the left, the feminists, the, you know, woke ideology, and who will fight for them, who will protect them and who will advance their aims. And that is who Trump is and that's who Trump promised to be for them quite explicitly. Now, back in 2016 it was kind of unproven territory at that time. It wasn't quite clear if conservative Christians would embrace a man like Trump who so clearly did not live up to any of their moral standards that they claim to hold so dear. This is the moral majority after all. These are family values voters, right? And so, Mike Pence was maybe a bit of an insurance policy, or it wasn't quite clear that he didn't actually -- that Trump didn't need Mike Pence, because they were after the fighter. And Pence did not stand up and fight when it mattered for Trump, when it mattered to overturn the election, right? And so, Pence very much fell out of favor. A lot of conservative Christians I know say, oh, he's a good guy. You know, those who aren't rolling their eyes at him for being too weak might say he's a good guy, but he's just not what this country needs right now, right? We need a strong man. We need somebody who will do whatever it takes to preserve this nation and to restore their understanding of Christian America. MARTIN: Is this a moment in time or is this something that is just -- has become such a feature of American Christianity that it is going to be a force for some time to come? DU MEZ: You know, it's both. It's a culmination is what it feels like to me that this agenda is not new. These aspirations are -- we can trace back to the Heritage Foundation was founded in the 1970s, and the Christian right has been advancing this kind of mission for generations now. But this is very much a moment, because they are now poised to essentially take control of the country and the very mechanisms of our democracy. And that is what is new here. That is what is different. And so, we -- you know, in the past, sometimes you had Ronald Reagan winning the White House and the Christian right is celebrating and the Heritage Foundation offers him a mandate for leadership, and we've had that in the past, but what we haven't had is this plan and a likelihood of them achieving this goal if they win the White House of completely restructuring our democracy, completely restructuring our federal government, and it's not clear what is on the other side of that. It's not clear if we will have another election where we can just reverse things or if that puts us on an entirely new trajectory in this country. And I think that's the real question when we look at Project 2025 and when we look at the November election. MARTIN: Professor Kristin Kobes Du Mez, thanks so much for talking with us. DU MEZ: Thanks so much for having me.

NY Times Poll: Majority of Registered Voters Say Trump ‘Will Bring About the Right Kind of Change’

A new poll from the New York Times has found that most registered voters believe Trump is a change agent and that he will bring the kind of change that the country needs right now.

There are two remarkable things about this poll at first glance. The fact that it’s from the New York Times, and the idea that Trump has become the change candidate.

It’s also a reminder that voters desperately want the country to go in a different direction than the one we have been headed in for three years now.

Breitbart News reports:

NYT Poll: Majority of Voters Say Trump ‘Will Bring About the Right Kind of Change’

A majority of registered voters believe former President Donald Trump “will bring about the right kind of change” for the nation, a Thursday New York Times/Siena College poll found.

Trump is campaigning on restoring the economy, boosting American jobs, securing the southern border, and preventing World War III.

“I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America,” Trump said in Milwaukee during his RNC acceptance speech.

Only 47 percent of registered voters said the same for Vice President Kamala Harris, whom voters also ranked as a far less “strong leader” than Trump.

Sixty percent of registered voters said Trump is a strong leader, compared to Harris’s only 46 percent.

Overall, the poll found Trump leading Harris by two points, a sign that Harris might be enjoying a “honeymoon” phase of her initial campaign for president.

Harris might get a slight polling bounce after the Democratic National Convention in August, which is to be expected, but beyond that it is probably going to be a rocky road for her campaign.

The country wants change and Kamala Harris is just more of the same.

Biden Campaign Co-Chair Claims THIS is the Main Reason Joe Biden Was Pushed Out of the 2024 Race

People will be talking about Joe Biden’s exit from the 2024 presidential election for decades to come. It hasn’t happened since LBJ decided not to run for reelection and in that case it was entirely his own decision.

There has already been tons of speculation about the main reasons why this happened and people have cited Biden’s health, his mental deterioration, the polls and his awful debate performance in June.

If you listen to his campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond however, it all came down to just one thing. The money.

According to Richmond, once the big Dem donors shut off the cash flow, Biden was doomed.

Townhall reports:

Biden campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond explained what really forced Biden out: big donors bailed on him.

They “created a self-fulfilling prophecy,” by failing to contribute after the June 27 debate, he said on CNN following Biden’s bombshell announcement. “You can’t win without money, and then they were going to point the finger at the candidate.

“They were going to blame it on Biden,” he added. “For a president that has accomplished so much, it was a no-win situation.”

Now that they successfully pushed Biden out of the race, Richmond said it’s time for those donors to “step the f*** up” and support Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign.

So far, it appears they are.

So now we know who really runs the Democrat party. It’s the people with the cash. People like George Clooney run the party.

As an aside, Cedric Richmond was the guy who insisted that Biden was staying in the race. He was on board right up until the end.

James Carville Warns Democrats Not to Get Too ‘Giddy’ Over Kamala Harris: ‘The Icepick Cometh’ (VIDEO)

Former Bill Clinton bag man James Carville has been freaking out for much of the 2024 election. He was one of the first Democrats to sound the alarm about Joe Biden’s inability to win.

Now that Biden has been replaced by Kamala Harris, Democrats are acting like all of their problems are solved, but Carville is not ready to accept their ‘giddy’ attitude.

Carville is already warning Democrats that Harris is going to come under tremendous attacks and he is right.

FOX News reports:

James Carville warns Democrats not to get too cocky about Kamala Harris: ‘This is too triumphalist’

After weeks of warning Democrats that the American people wanted something new in place of President Biden, campaign veteran James Carville cautioned them not to get cocky about their new choice.

After Biden stepped aside under pressure and Vice President Kamala Harris rapidly ascended to become the presumptive nominee, many Democrats had a noticeable honeymoon season over their new candidate, but Carville warned that it’s not time for them to celebrate just yet.

“I have to be the skunk at the garden party. This is too triumphalist, OK?” Carville said on MSNBC. “Everybody’s giddy. I look at the coverage and it’s great. If I had to write a play about what I think, it’d be titled, ‘The Icepick Cometh,’ OK? Get ready, they’re coming. All right? And it’s good. Everybody should feel good and liberated and everything else. But if we don’t win the election, we haven’t done anything.

“This kind of giddy elation is not going to be very helpful much longer ’cause that’s not what we’re going to be faced with.”

Here’s the video:

Ever since the Democrats pulled their switcheroo with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the media has been trying to act like this was totally normal and that there is tremendous excitement for Harris.

It is not normal, and any bump Harris has gotten in support is likely nothing more than a sugar high which will fade quickly as voters are reminded of her record and her personality.

James Piereson is a political scholar and analyst for the Manhattan Institute. He recently wrote a column comparing Kamala Harris to failed 1988 presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, but one of the most fascinating parts of the column is a passage where he predicts the outcome of the 2024 election.

Piereson writes at The New Criterion (bolding added for emphasis):

Kamala Harris is now enjoying this kind of moment as she racks up endorsements in anticipation of the Democratic National Convention in August. Democrats and media allies are busy portraying her as a fresh face (she is not) and a youthful candidate (also doubtful) who will electrify the nation, galvanize women and minority voters, and trounce Donald Trump in the fall campaign…

The honeymoon will not last very long. Trump will succeed in painting Harris as an out-of-touch San Francisco leftist, much as Bush portrayed Dukakis as a Massachusetts liberal. Trump will find plenty of running room with that campaign, as there is hardly a left-wing cause that she has not embraced…

Notwithstanding the euphoria today, Trump will win the election by six points—forty-nine to forty-three percent—winning 339 electoral votes, including all of the so-called swing states, plus the Democratic-leaning states of Virginia, Minnesota, and New Hampshire. Republicans will pick up three or four seats in the Senate and perhaps twenty seats in the House, giving them safe majorities in both chambers. This will give Trump the margins he needs to implement a good piece of his agenda in 2025 and 2026.

This column is currently one of the most read articles on Real Clear Politics and for good reasons. Piereson makes some outstanding points based on history and research.

FLASHBACK: Kamala Harris Was Part of Joe Biden’s Disastrous Withdrawal From Afghanistan (VIDEO)

Democrats and the media don’t like to talk about it, but Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 was one of the things that led to his downfall.

You can look at a graph of Biden’s approval rating and pinpoint the exact moment of the withdrawal. His approval numbers went upside down and never recovered.

Now that the media is desperately trying to rewrite history, it’s important to remember that Kamala Harris was part of that process and even defended it months later.

Harris even tried to take credit for it.

Politico reported in April of 2021:

Harris says she had key role in Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal decision

Vice President Kamala Harris confirmed Sunday that she was the last person in the room before President Joe Biden made the decision to pull all U.S. troops out of Afghanistan.

In an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union,” Harris was asked about being the last person in the room regarding major decisions, something that Biden has said is important to him in his working relationship with the vice president. Harris confirmed that was the case regarding the move to pull U.S. troops out of Afghanistan by Sept. 11…

“This is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage,” she said, regarding the decision. “He is someone, who I have seen over and over again, make decisions based on what he truly believes … is the right thing to do.”

Watch the clip below:

Kamala Harris was behind the botched Afghanistan withdrawal that resulted in 13 dead American service members

Kamala: “Yes.”

Bash: “And you feel comfortable?”

Social Media Users Point to Revelation 6:8 After Paris Olympics Open Up With Rider on Pale Horse (VIDEO)

The 2024 Paris Olympics are underway, but the opening ceremony has made many spectators stop watching the games.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, during the Olympic Games opening ceremony, a group of provocatively dressed drag queens stood behind a long table, appearing to recreate the Lord’s Supper.

During another part of the opening ceremony, a pale horse raced at full speed with a rider donning an Olympic cape.

The appearance of the pale horse resulted in hundreds of social media users stating that it symbolized the pale horse spoken of in the Book of Revelation in the Bible.

Revelation 6:8 reads, “And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill twith sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.”

Archaeologists Just Made a ‘Sensational’ Discovery at Site Where Christ Was Resurrected

By: Ben Kew

Archaeologists in Israel have made a “sensational” discovery at the site where Christ was resurrected.

Construction workers at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem discovered a long-lost medieval altar that historians previously believed had been destroyed in a fire back in 1808.

Believing they were simply repositioning a graffiti-covered stone slab, the workers discovered it was actually adorned with ribbon-like carvings, a typical Roman decorative method from medieval times.

The marble piece, weighing several tons, had been placed in a publicly accessible hallway at the church’s rear, also marked by graffiti.

Local scholars have dated the altar to 1149 based on its unique inscriptions. An Australian team from the Academy of Sciences described the finding as “sensational.”

“Firstly, the fact that the slab could have remained hidden for so long in such an intensively researched building as the Church of the Holy Sepulchre – especially as it was in view of thousands of pilgrims and tourists every day,” the team wrote, according to Mail Online.

The altar was designed in the “Cosmatesque” style, a technique originating from the Cosmati family in Rome, renowned for their multi-generational stoneworking tradition.

A mark of papal prestige, the style involved assembling small, repurposed marble fragments from older structures into intricate geometric designs.

The sole surviving example of Cosmatesque work outside of Italy is located in London’s Westminster Abbey, created by an artist sent by the pope.

“The Cosmatesque altar now rediscovered in Jerusalem must also have been created with the Pope’s blessing,’ the researchers explained.

“By sending one of the Cosmatesque masters to the Kingdom of Jerusalem to make the new high altar in Christianity’s holiest church, the Pontiff supported Christianity’s claim to the city.”

After Floating Shrapnel Conspiracy Theory, FBI Now Says a Bullet Struck President Trump’s Ear – Trump Responds

The FBI is now saying Trump’s ear was indeed struck by a bullet on July 13 after a gunman opened fire on him during his Butler, Pennsylvania rally.

“What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle,” the FBI said in its statement.

“The FBI’s Shooting Reconstruction Team continues to examine evidence from the scene, including bullet fragments, and the investigation remains ongoing.”

President Trump responded.

“I assume that’s the best apology that we’ll get from Director Wray, but it is fully accepted!” Trump said on Truth Social.

On Thursday, FBI Director Christopher Wray floated the fake news media’s conspiracy theory that Trump’s ear may have been hit by shrapnel.

“There’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel,” Wray said to Jim Jordan on Thursday.

Watch: Host on ‘The View’ Vilely Suggests Trump Standing up for Clinton Rape Accusers Was Sexist

On Friday's episode of "The View," co-host Ana Navarro claimed that then-Republican candidate Donald Trump was sexist for bringing sexual assault accusers of former President Bill Clinton to a 2016 debate with Hillary Clinton.

On Friday's episode of "The View," co-host Ana Navarro claimed that then-Republican candidate Donald Trump was sexist for bringing sexual assault accusers of former President Bill Clinton to a 2016 debate with Hillary Clinton.

A much-needed cleanse of American political discourse would begin with the cancellation of one particular daytime talk show.

Then again, the daily reminder of how low-information liberals actually think about the world might have more strategic value in the long run.

On Friday’s episode of Five Bitter Dimwits Parroting Establishment Talking Points — also known as ABC’s “The View” — toxic co-host Ana Navarro hit perhaps a new low when she described former President Donald Trump as having engaged in “sexist and misogynistic” behavior for having invited three of former President Bill Clinton’s alleged rape victims to a 2016 presidential debate against then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

Yes, even now, nearly eight years later, Navarro shamelessly tried to depict Hillary Clinton as the real victim.

On Oct. 9, 2016, Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey appeared at the debate at Trump’s invitation. A leaked video of Trump using vile language about women had become a major campaign issue. Establishment figures who had overlooked Bill Clinton’s behavior suddenly denounced Trump’s as disqualifying.

True to form, Trump would not take the establishment’s hypocrisy lying down.

“Mr. Trump may have said some bad words, but Bill Clinton raped me and Hillary Clinton threatened me,” Broaddrick said before the debate, per the Associated Press. “I don’t think there’s any comparison.”

That same establishment, of course, has also ignored Tara Reade, who accused President Joe Biden of sexual assault.

To Navarro, however, women who accuse Democrats of rape must not receive a platform. After all, everyone knows that Trump and his voters are the real misogynists.

“I was shell shocked by how low Donald Trump and his supporters could go against Hillary Clinton on sexist and misogynist remarks,” Navarro said in a clip posted to the social media platform X.

Then, without skipping a beat, the vile co-host cited the 2016 debate as an example.

“Remember when he showed up with women who had accused Bill Clinton of sexual impropriety to the debate,” she said.

Ah yes, nothing like the euphemism “sexual impropriety” as a substitute for alleged rape. And shame on you for noticing those three women — four, if you include Reade.

Alas, another 40 excruciating seconds of pure drivel ensued.

Navarro spent that time insisting that Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ presumptive presidential nominee, has already suffered more misogynistic attacks than Hillary Clinton ever did. The co-host suggested, for instance, that Harris’ opponents have “[tried] to make her dating history an issue.”

The truth, of course, is that Harris’ opponents have cited her romantic relationship with San Francisco politician Willie Brown in the mid-1990s, from which she demonstrably derived tangible political benefits, including lucrative government jobs, as evidence that she has advanced in her career for reasons having nothing to do with merit. Her ascent to the top of the Democratic ticket without earning a single primary vote constitutes merely the latest example.

Navarro’s mindless rant concluded with an obligatory shot at Trump’s own personal history, including a rape allegation from E. Jean Carroll, who in January received an $83 million jury verdict in her favor after suing the former president for defamation.

Fake Republican Ana Navarro says it was sexist for Trump to bring Bill Clinton’s rape accusers to a debate in 2016. She decries people bringing up Kamala’s affair with Willie Brown and ridiculously suggests Trump’s sexual relations have not been made a campaign issue, YET. pic.twitter.com/JNmTpenLXy

— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) July 26, 2024

Carroll, whose allegations closely resembled the plot line from a 2012 episode of NBC’s “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” deserves to be taken seriously, according to Navarro.

But we can safely ignore Jones, Broaddrick and Willey. In fact, their mere appearance at the 2016 debate was both “sexist and misogynistic.”

On the bright side, we know for certain that one day this repellent show will no longer exist. Until then, let Navarro and her fellow unhinged co-hosts serve as a daily reminder of the task we face.

Piers Morgan Slams Biden Fanboy Harry Sisson Over Unwavering Support Despite Obvious Cognitive Issues

Guest Post by Miriam Judith

British journalist Piers Morgan took a jab at Biden’s boy toy social media ‘influencer’ Harry Sisson on Thursday, mocking his continued defense of President Joe Biden’s mental sharpness.

Biden recently withdrew from the presidential race following pressure from within his own party after a disastrous debate with former President Donald Trump.

On “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Morgan questioned Sisson’s unwavering support, especially given the widespread concerns raised after Biden’s debate performance.

“It’s painfully clear to everyone that Biden’s time was up, particularly after that debate. Why keep up the pretense that he wasn’t finished?” Morgan asked.

Sisson defended his position by outright lying about Biden’s record and the personal interactions he’s had with him, stating, “I’ve met him, and he was sharp. His achievements and policies matter more than media criticisms.”

Morgan, however, pointed out the stark contrast between Sisson’s claims and Biden’s public mishaps around that time, including stumbling, falling off stages, and making confusing statements. “He was tripping over his own feet and mumbling through speeches,” Morgan noted. “How could he have been ‘sharp’ then?”

Despite numerous White House gaffes, Sisson remained firm in his delusional belief that Biden was fit to serve. “I asked him tough questions, and he handled them well. I have no doubts about his fitness to serve,” Sisson insisted.

Watch the clip:

— TV News Now (@TVNewsNow) July 25, 2024

Morgan’s confrontation with Harry Sisson highlights a troubling trend among some of Biden’s most ardent defenders. Sisson’s insistence that the President is still fit for office, despite mounting evidence of cognitive decline, seems less like genuine belief and more like a delusional defense mechanism. His unwavering support, even in the face of overwhelming public and media scrutiny, paints a picture of someone who is not only out of touch with reality but also deeply committed to maintaining a narrative that suits his agenda.

Sisson’s portrayal of Biden as “sharp” and capable, based on a single favorable encounter, appears to be more about self-delusion and less about objective truth. It’s telling that he disregards the numerous instances of Biden’s public gaffes and inconsistent statements, which have been meticulously documented. By continuing to portray Biden in an unrealistic light, Sisson serves as little more than a propaganda tool, crafting a comforting but misleading narrative for his followers.

His behavior reflects a broader issue within some corners of Biden’s support base: an unwillingness to confront uncomfortable truths in favor of a more convenient fantasy. This denial not only undermines honest political discourse but also prevents meaningful discussion about the President’s fitness for office. It’s a disservice to the democratic process and to voters who deserve a clear-eyed evaluation of their leaders.

MSNBC Honors Biden 'Ode to Decency', Slams 'Malicious' Republicans

The Weekend host Michael Steele filled in for Joy Reid on Thursday night’s episode of MSNBC’s The ReidOut, giving an obnoxious tribute to President Joe Biden. During the segment, he invited MSNBC analyst Jonathan Alter to demonstrate the apparently stark contrast between Biden’s “decency” and the “malicious” and “nasty” Republican Party. Steele began by playing a clip of Biden’s Wednesday night Oval Office speech, wistfully sighing as he fawned on the “emotional, yet graceful address to the nation…where he once again showed the country the kind of man he really is.” His cloy monologue continued, as he embellished on the attitude surrounding the event: It was the beginning of the end for Joe Biden's five-decade career in elected office, and he did it in his own Biden-esque way, by elevating and restoring dignity to the conversation. The emotion of that speech was felt by many, including the president's family, who were sitting just out of frame in the Oval Office as he delivered those remarks, and by his staff, whose after–who afterwards greeted the president with cheers of “Let's go, Joe!” in the Rose Garden, where they celebrated in the most Biden way possible: ice cream.     Of course, Alter wholeheartedly agreed, praising the “ode to decency” and doubling down on the media’s ridiculous comparison of Biden to George Washington and the ancient Roman Cincinnatus. He further painted an arguably over-patriotic portrait of the president for “mak[ing] a decision that was in the spirit of the founder of our country,” arguing that it “puts him in very good stead historically…[and] when it counted, he made the American tradition, the American decision, in the American tradition.” Alter insisted Trump was “the radical right-winger” before Steele expressed his outrage at an X post from GOP strategist Chris LaCivita, a picture of Trump with the caption “On Trump Force One…Hey Joe…You’re Fired.” “You cannot express any better than that just how ignorant, out of touch, out of step with the idea and the ideals of America Donald Trump is,” the host blustered. Alter declared that in contrast to the Democratic Party, “the other side, the radicals, believe in the idea of power. Not the power of the idea. They're just interested in power. Getting it and keeping it.” He asserted that LaCivita’s post was evidence that Republicans “have no class. They have no real understanding of the decency, the mystic chords of memory that Lincoln spoke of that are supposed to bond us,” citing Abraham Lincoln’s famous quote, “With malice toward none with charity for all.” According to Alter, the Democratic Party was the perfect model of “decency” and “class,” while Republicans were “malicious” and “nasty”; also, Vice President Kamala Harris wasn’t a “San Francisco liberal” but Trump was the “radical” and “un-American candidate.” In light of the hypocrisy on display from the Democratic Party and its toadies, ironically enough, Steele was absolutely right at the close of the segment: this election “is not a drill and a lot is at stake.” The transcript is below. Click "expand" to read: MSNBC’s The ReidOut 7/26/2024 07:35:37 PM EST MICHAEL STEELE: After what can only be described as (sighs) a few melancholy days, President Joe Biden delivered a rather emotional, yet graceful address to the nation last night, where he once again showed the country the kind of man he really is, speaking about his decision to pass the torch and drop his bid for re-election.  It was the beginning of the end for Joe Biden's five-decade career in elected office, and he did it in his own Biden-esque way, by elevating and restoring dignity to the conversation. The emotion of that speech was felt by many, including the president's family, who were sitting just out of frame in the Oval Office as he delivered those remarks, and by his staff, whose after–who afterwards greeted the president with cheers of “Let's go, Joe!” in the Rose Garden, where they celebrated in the most Biden way possible: ice cream.  Joining me now is Jonathan Alter, MSNBC political analyst and founder of “Old Goats” on Substack. Only Jonathan Alter with the “Old Goats.” Good to see you, man. JONATHAN ALTER: (Laughs). Good to see you, Michael. MICHAEL STEELE: So, Jonathan, I want to start with this moment in the speech, which I thought was especially poignant and important. Let's take a listen. [Cuts to video] PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: The great thing about America is, here, kings an dictators do not rule. The people do. History is in your hands. The power is in your hands. The idea of America lies in your hands. You just have to keep faith. Keep the faith. And remember who we are. We're the United States of America. And there's simply nothing, nothing beyond our capacity when we do it together. So let's act together, preserve our democracy. [Cuts back to live] STEELE: It’s–for me, it was such a powerful framing of not just what the election’s about but what our mission as Americans is about. How did you see the speech last night and your takeaway from it? ALTER: Well, I agree with you. I think it was an ode to decency. You know, he mentioned we don't have kings and dictators here and earlier in the speech, he referred to a portrait of George Washington. So, George Washington picked up from the ancient Roman Cincinnatus and he turned over office peacefully.  This has been rarely done in human history, and this peaceful transfer of power establishing that we don't have kings here, we don't have dictators, this was essential. And what Joe Biden did last night was to give a speech and to make a decision that was in the spirit of the founder of our country. And that puts him in very good stead historically. So you can say what you might about him on policy. You can criticize the fact that he decided to run for re-election when he was probably too old to do so, but when it counted, he made the American tradition, the American decision, in the American tradition.  And this is–this is what's so important, is to set that standard again, so we realize that the radical in this campaign, Michael, is not Kamala Harris, as all the Trump advertising is saying now. The radical right-winger is Donald Trump. He's the one who is out of step with the way we’ve done it in this country since George Washington. And I think those are the notes that President Biden was able to sound last night. And it–it will live in history. STEELE: I think–I think very much to your point, Jonathan, in the framing of the American way of doing this, the George Washington way of doing this, you had in contrast the tweet that Trump senior adviser put out. And just it's just a dumb tweet: “On Trump Force One…Hey Joe…You're fired.”  And you cannot–you cannot express any better than that just how ignorant, out of touch, out of step with the idea and the ideals of America Donald Trump is. So here's the–here’s the tougher question. Why is it, in light of what we just saw in the grace and the dignity of Biden, do we have so many people willing to fall into this sort of darker narrative with Trump? ALTER: Well, I think historians will be studying that for generations. But they have lost faith. So, the president mentioned that word faith last night. And he wasn't talking about religious faith. He was talking about civic faith. Believe–belief in the idea of America. And, so, the Biden way, the George Washington way, the Abraham Lincoln way, is to talk about the power of ideas, particularly the power of the American idea of the rule of law and the peaceful transfer of power.  The other side, the radicals, believe in the idea of power. Not the power of the idea. They're just interested in power. Getting it and keeping it. And that tweet you saw shows they have no class. They have no real understanding of the decency, the mystic chords of memory that Lincoln spoke of that are supposed to bond us. So right after the civil war, Lincoln is talking about, “With charity for all, with malice toward none.” And Joe Biden referred to Lincoln and malice last night. We're not supposed to be a malicious country.  And these people in the Republican Party now, in the leadership of that party, they are malicious. They're nasty. Why couldn't they just show a little class? He wasn't fired. That's what they wanted to do, if he had stood for re-election, if they had beaten him. They could have then said, on the day after the election in November, “We fired Biden.” Okay. That would’ve been legit. This was not a firing. This was a decision that the president made in the larger interest of the country.  And I think from that tweet, by the way, the guy who tweeted that, he's the guy who swiftboated John Kerry. So John Kerry was a war hero and this guy, who is now running the Trump campaign, just made up a bunch of lies about him and helped sink the John Kerry 2004 presidential campaign. They're gonna try to do that again to Harris.  And what Harris has to do, and she's off to a great start, is to say, “No, I'm not the radical, you know, San Francisco liberal. He is the radical. Trump is the radical. He's the one who is,” I'll say it, she can't quite say it this way, he's the un-American candidate in this race. And, so, I think people have to get a sense that there are big constitutional issues at stake here. And when President Biden talked about protecting democracy, he wasn't exaggerating. It's really on the line. This is not a draw, Michael. STEELE: Right. No, it’s not. It is not. It is not and, I think, the poignancy of that moment actually leads us to the reality that this is not a drill and a lot is at stake. Jonathan Alter, thank you for bringing the perspective that we needed for that. Thank you so much, my friend. (...)

Dem Senators Demand Pre-Access to OpenAI Model

A group of Democrat and Independent senators are pressuring the company that makes ChatGPT to promise the government pre-deployment access to any future model. Pro-censorship Democrat lawmakers have found yet another angle for government-tech collusion and interference, according to a July 22 letter to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Besides insisting upon extensive information about the artificial intelligence (AI) company’s safety features and policies, the senators asked for privileged government access to review and assess a potential future model. The letter focused on alleged safety concerns and the company's employment practices. The senators then included a lengthy list of questions largely related to OpenAI’s safety policies and employees’ ability to sound the alarm about safety concerns. In a somewhat lengthy list of questions about OpenAI’s safety policies and practices, the senators pressed: “Will OpenAI commit to making its next foundation model available to U.S. Government agencies for a pre-deployment testing, review, analysis, and assessment?” This bold question seems to indicate a new method of government-tech collusion may be on the rise. In the past, such collusion has led to a vast censorship industrial complex.  But even before senators asked for a first look at OpenAI’s technology, they reminded the company of their pre-existing partnership.“OpenAI is now partnering with the U.S. government and national security and defense agencies to develop cybersecurity tools to protect our nation’s critical infrastructure.”  Other questions asked in the letter included requests about penalizing concerned employees who raise issues, a Supplier Code of Conduct and post-release AI monitoring practices.  The senators who signed the letter include Brian Schatz (D-HI), Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), Peter Welch (D-VT), Mark Warner (D-VA) and Angus S. King (I-ME; previously D).  Significantly, Warner pressured Big Tech to crackdown on supposed “Russia-linked” content in 2017 and again in 2022. Luján co-sponsored2021 legislation to revoke liability protections for tech companies if alleged “health misinformation” was algorithmically amplified by the platform during a health crisis. Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on so-called “hate speech” and equal footing for conservatives.

DISGUSTING: Drag Queens Mock Lord’s Supper At Paris Olympic Opening Ceremony (VIDEO)

The Paris Olympic organizers are facing significant backlash after appearing to allow a reenactment of the Lord’s Supper with drag queens during the 2024 Olympics ceremony.

In the distasteful opening ceremony, a group of provocatively dressed drag queens stood behind a long table, appearing to recreate the Lord’s Supper.

A young child was also spotted in the performance standing next to the drag queens.

Per Deadline:

Harrison Butker is reacting to the Olympics Opening Ceremony in Paris and is having an issue with a group of drag queens that appeared during the show.

The Kansas City Chiefs kicker shared his opinion on social media after a clip of a group of drag queens channeled the Last Supper during the opening ceremony for the Olympics in Paris.

Recreating a runway to showcase the fashion Paris is known for, a group of drag queens appeared on screen positioned similarly to how Jesus and his Twelve Apostles are depicted in Leonardo da Vinci’s mural painting.

Elon Musk also chimed in and posted on X, “This was extremely disrespectful to Christians.”

US Government Agrees to Pay Peter Strzok $1.2 Million in Lawsuit Settlement Over Release of Anti-Trump Text Messages

The Justice Department agreed to pay former FBI special agent Peter Strzok a $1.2 settlement over the release of his anti-Trump text messages.

Peter Strzok sued the DOJ for ‘unlawfully disclosing’ his text messages to his paramour Lisa Page.

Strzok and Lisa Page discussed an “insurance policy” to keep Trump out of office.

“I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office…that there’s no way [Trump] gets elected…but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk,” Strzok text messaged to Page in an Aug. 15, 2016 exchange, referring to Andrew McCabe.

“It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40,” Strzok added.

Other profanity-laced text messages between Strzok and Page showed their contempt for Donald Trump.

Peter Strzok also said in a text message to Lisa Page “we’ll stop” Trump from becoming President.

Strzok was fired from the FBI in 2018 for violating bureau policies after he launched the ‘Crossfire Hurricane‘ Trump-Russia probe in July 2016.

ABC News reported:

Former FBI agent Pete Strzok, who was fired from the bureau in 2018 after his disparaging text messages about Donald Trump were made public, has reached a settlement with the Justice Department over his claims that his privacy rights were violated, according to his lawyers.

According to Strzok’s lawyers, the U.S. government has agreed to pay Strzok $1.2 million.

In his 2019 lawsuit, Strzok and his lawyers argued that the FBI and DOJ unlawfully disclosed his private text messages disparaging Trump before and after the 2016 presidential election — including the time frame during which Strzok helped lead the agency’s investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server and Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

A Look at Kamala Harris’ Record

With some hard work, pluck, the right boyfriend, and a bit of genetic luck, Vice President Kamala Harris has found her way onto the presidential ballot without having to secure a single primary vote. Don’t tell me the American dream is dead.

Sure, Harris is a demagogue who speaks in cringy, swirling, impenetrable platitudes. And sure, according to President Joe Biden, Harris was an identity hire. But “Morning Joe” says we’re not supposed to talk about any of that. So, let’s discuss her record and stated positions.

It seems like a lifetime ago that Biden named Harris his running mate. What you may not recall is that the media tried to gaslight us into believing the California senator was another apolitical dealmaker.

Former Clinton fixer George Stephanopoulos said Harris was “the middle-of-the-road, moderate wing of the Democratic Party.” The New York Times called her a “pragmatic moderate,” while The Associated Press focused on her “centrist record.” And so on.

A “small-c conservative,” one Washington Post columnist wrote.

The only problem was, according to GovTrack, Harris’ record in the Senate was to the left of red-diaper baby Bernie Sanders. She was least likely of any senator to join in any bipartisan bills.

That’s fine. Bipartisan bills are the pits. Harris wasn’t handed a Senate seat by her former beau and California political kingpin Willie Brown to waste her time legislating with a bunch of pinheads. She was there to run for the presidency. In her truncated first term, few excelled more at smearing their political opponents.

Remember when Harris moderately accused Brett Kavanaugh of gang rape?

This false perception of moderation stems from Harris’ time as prosecutor and attorney general. Harris liked to brag about using “a huge stick” as a prosecutor in San Francisco, where she regularly threatened poor parents with jail time in her efforts to craft social policy—which wasn’t her job.

It’s true that Harris threw a lot of people in jail to bolster her political fortunes. Some of them likely innocent. And judging from her disposition, she would throw a lot more people into jail, if she could.

When pro-life journalist David Daleiden published videos of Planned Parenthood executives nonchalantly discussing the selling of body parts, Harris had his home raided, seized evidence, and then tried to throw him in prison. She later teamed up with the abortion mill to write legislation that would squash the free speech rights of other pro-lifers.

Like any good authoritarian, Harris enforces whatever laws she sees fit to enforce whenever she sees fit. One of the reasons Harris allegedly opposed the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch was that the judge “consistently valued narrow legalisms”—which is to say, respected the Constitution—”over real lives.”

Harris was never one for legalism. When candidate Biden argued that Harris’ promise to issue an executive order unilaterally banning access to certain guns would be unconstitutional, she retorted: “I would just say: Hey, Joe, instead of saying ‘No, we can’t,’ let’s say, ‘Yes, we can,'” before cackling at the very notion that presidents couldn’t do whatever they wanted.

As a national candidate, Harris said she believed immigration laws should be treated as civil, rather than criminal, offenses. As a candidate, Harris supported abolishing private health insurance—”Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on,” she told CNN. In addition to nationalizing health care and education, Harris wants the government to control the manufacturing sector, the auto industry, food … and any industry that emits carbon.

Harris was in favor of getting rid of the filibuster to overturn state voting laws, nationalizing abortion on demand until birth, and passing the Green New Deal—an authoritarian takeover of the economy written by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., which would ban all fossil fuels, force Americans to retrofit every building in the country, eliminate air travel and meat, and create government-guaranteed jobs, among many other authoritarian measures.

On foreign policy, we don’t really know, though we can guess. This week, Harris wouldn’t even greet Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of the only liberal democracy in the Middle East. She didn’t sit behind him during his speech to Congress.

A few weeks ago, the same Harris said antisemitic, pro-Hamas campus protesters showed “exactly what the human emotion should be.” In the past, she has openly protested with Islamic Republic propagandists from the National Iranian American Council. To be fair, in some ways her disposition comports more with the latter than the former.

When I say Harris is an authoritarian, I’m not contending she’s Hitler. I am saying she is a fan of obedience to authority, especially of Democrat-run government, at the expense of personal freedom in ways that are deeply un-American. That’s a bad trend in politics, in general, but it’s difficult to think of many politicians more wedded to the idea than Kamala Harris.

Trump Announces He Will Hold a Second Rally in Butler, Pennsylvania

Former President Donald Trump has announced that he will be holding a second rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, to honor those who were shot during the assassination attempt two weeks ago.

The attempted Trump assassin fatally shot former fire chief Corey Comperatore, who was shielding his family from the bullets when he was struck.

Two other rallygoers were critically injured but survived. They have been identified as David Dutch, 57, of New Kensington, PA, and James Copenhaver, 74, of Moon Township, PA.

Trump announced the new rally in a post on Truth Social on Friday afternoon.

Trump wrote:

I WILL BE GOING BACK TO BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA, FOR A BIG AND BEAUTIFUL RALLY, HONORING THE SOUL OF OUR BELOVED FIREFIGHTING HERO, COREY, AND THOSE BRAVE PATRIOTS INJURED TWO WEEKS AGO. WHAT A DAY IT WILL BE — FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! STAY TUNED FOR DETAILS.

The Republican presidential nominee did not announce where or when the rally would take place.

If Trump had not turned his head less than a second before the bullet struck his ear, it would have gone through his skull and almost certainly would have been fatal.

The failed assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was fatally shot by a counter sniper moments after shooting Trump in the ear.

The Bloodless Coup of Joe Biden Will Not Work Out Well for Democrats

The Democratic Party ruling class’ bloodless coup of their own democratically elected presidential nominee, who also happens to be the nominal sitting president of the United States, is one of the most astonishing political developments of my lifetime.

Joe Biden, though clearly physically and mentally impaired, has sought the presidency for quite literally longer than I have been alive. Biden had been defiant ever since the June 27 presidential debate debacle that he was not going anywhere, despite overwhelming pressure from party elites and sycophantic media lap dogs demanding he do precisely that. He has a Lady Macbeth-like wife who craves power and he has a felonious son in desperate need of a presidential pardon.

Yet the coup succeeded. Biden became the first incumbent president to not seek reelection after his first term since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968.

Biden made the much-anticipated announcement not with a solemn Oval Office address—that came three days later, and he didn’t even explain his decision. Rather, he issued a bedridden tweet—from a personal, not even official, account.

It’s the equivalent of divorcing your wife over text message. As if that weren’t crazy enough, the announcement came smack in the middle of a five-day period in which Biden was not publicly seen, and during which he apparently experienced an unspecified medical emergency. Suspicious much?

The Democrats’ decision to coup their own president is a curious one on the political merits.

Hold aside the galling hypocrisy of the purported party of “democracy” trying to remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot under an outlandish constitutional theory while simultaneously attempting to bankrupt, prosecute, and incarcerate him on equally spurious grounds.

Hold aside the self-proclaimed party of “democracy” feigning ignorance over how its overheated rhetoric laid the seeds for their political opponent’s recent near-assassination and its continuing to depict that opponent as an existential threat to the American constitutional order.

And hold aside that purportedly “democratic” party deposing its own presumptive elected nominee—a stark reversal from its presidential primary, when party pooh-bahs worked hard to shut out all viable competition. Somewhere in Minnesota, Dean Phillips would like a word.

Hold all that aside. Because even on its own terms, the coup of Biden for cackler-in-chief Kamala Harris is going to spectacularly backfire on the Democrats.

Already, Democrats and the corporate media have been working hard to “define” Harris for the American people. At times, this has included some rather dubious retconning, such as magically pretending she wasn’t the Biden administration’s appointed “border czar.” (She was.) But the even bigger problem for Democrats is that Harris is not an unknown commodity. On the contrary, she is a very well-known commodity—one who just happens to be about as popular with the American public as venereal disease.

Harris’ current average approval rating is under 38%, and an NBC News poll last June found her to be the single least popular vice president in American history—only 32% of Americans had a positive view of her, putting her 17 points underwater.

Harris’ 2020 presidential campaign was an absolute dud, self-imploding well before the first primary votes were cast. And as recently as a month or two ago, Democratic elites were openly discussing whether she could still be dropped as Biden’s 2024 running mate. Funny how quickly one can go from weakest link to great savior of “Our Democracy.”

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, Pennsylvania, upbringing for a Californian who boasts the most left-wing voting record of any presidential nominee in modern history.

Do Democrats really think Harris’ support for the Green New Deal and a national fracking ban will play well in the Marcellus Shale of Pennsylvania, or in the auto factories of Detroit? Will white working- and middle-class voters concerned about skyrocketing crime look favorably upon Harris’ enthusiastic support for the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots, which racked up $2 billion worth of property damage?

It’s not that Uncle Joe, seemingly about to keel over and die at any moment, found himself in much better political shape. But in addition to the gross hypocrisy of their coup that has dealt yet another fatal blow to their specious claim to “defend democracy,” Democrats have also set themselves up for political failure. They would have been better off trying to limp across the finish line with their grievously wounded incumbent of a nominee rather than changing horses midrace.

The 14 million people who voted for Biden in the Democratic primaries ought to be livid. Rust Belt voters ought to be bemused. But Trump and running mate JD Vance ought to be ecstatic.
