Democrats have made political assassination look like some twisted form of civil ‘justice.’ I monitor a lot of lefty chat rooms to see how the Marxist Borg is processing new information. Wading through a sewer of fractured psyches is borderline torture, but it’s helpful to watch the commie hive mind in action. The hogwash that self-described “smart people” claim to believe would make you cry for the sorry state of public education. After the assassination attempt on President Trump, I tiptoed back over to Club Xanax to see how that hellscape was holding up. By far, the great majority of...

Small donors have contributed a whopping $46.7 million to Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign in the seven hours since President Joe Biden shocked the world by announcing he would not be standing in the 2024 election. The figures, announced by the Democratic Party's fundraising arm, ActBlue, mean that Harris, 59, has broken the record for most money raised during this election cycle. 'This has been the biggest fundraising day of the 2024 cycle. Small-dollar donors are fired up and ready to take on this election,' the group said in a post on X.

I have recently become aware of a new shift in acceptable language. It happened at the assisted-living apartment where a loved one lives. I was trying to describe a specific maintenance worker who I’ve contacted before and was quickly corrected in the tersest manner by black aids that he was “African American.” Wasn’t “Black lives matter” just a thing a few hours ago?

What in the world just happened? Within the past 24 hours, Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race, Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee, and hordes of top Democrats publicly endorsed her. We are finding out that lots of people apparently knew that this was going to happen on Sunday in advance. To call all of this “orchestrated” would be a tremendous understatement. It appears that the Democratic party machine was absolutely determined to slam the door shut on anyone that would even think of challenging Harris. And this is the party that was attempting to claim that it...

An MP for the radical-left France Unbowed party has sparked outrage after saying Israeli athletes are not welcome at the Paris Olympics and calling for protests against their presence. Citing Israel’s war in Gaza, Thomas Portes told a pro-Palestinian gathering in Paris on Saturday: “We are just a few days away from an international event to be held in Paris, the Olympic Games. And I’m here to say that no, the Israeli delegation is not welcome in Paris. Israeli athletes are not welcome at the Olympic Games in Paris. We have to use this deadline and all the levers we...

... In the next one to two years, Needham analysts estimate that large publicly traded bitcoin miners are expected to more than double power capacity, including both their mining and HPC business expansion plans. The Electric Power Research Institute estimates that data centers could take up to 9% of the country’s total electricity consumption by 2030, up from around 4% in 2023. Tapping into nuclear energy is seen by many as the answer to meeting that demand. ...

Report: White House Aides Found Out On Twitter (X) About Biden’s Withdrawal From Presidential Race.. I wonder when Biden will find out? Politico is reporting that White House aides believed that Biden was in it for the long haul . . . until they learned on Twitter (X) that he quit. ... It certainly must have been a surprise to Biden’s campaign co-chair, as well:

Three factory workers make their routine stop at a diner late one night. Just before closing, a man comes in and takes a seat at the counter. One of the workers, an antagonist named Larry, tries to strike up a conversation with the man but he doesn't respond. Disturbed by this, Larry persists and finds out the man is a Christian. What follows is an intense drama about the most important issue in life...and eternity. Writer-Producer-Director: Dave Christiano Cast: Brad Heller, Josh Gaffga, Hugh McLean, Tim Ross

Investors have been amassing wagers on Donald Trump’s return to the White House for weeks, trimming holdings of long-term US bonds and buying Bitcoin, among other things. Now, they’re considering whether Joe Biden’s exit from the race boosts the odds of a Democrat victory — and how much they must recalibrate their bets. Though the announcement was widely expected as the 81-year-old faced pressure from allies, it injects a wild card into the campaign that will likely translate into volatility for markets. “This means more uncertainty,” said Gene Munster, co-founder and managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management. “There was a...

Joe hasn’t been seen in days. Not his signature on the resignation letter. Where is POTUS? Might he reappear and say he’s still in the race?

The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen will continue to attack Israel and will not abide by any rules of engagement, the group’s spokesperson Mohammed Abdulsalam tells Qatar’s Al Jazeera TV, a day after Israel struck Houthi military targets near Yemen’s Hodeida port in retaliation for a drone strike in Tel Aviv on Friday in which one person was killed. Abdulsalam says there will be “no red lines” in the Houthis’ response to Israel. “All sensitive institutions with all its levels will be a target for us,” he says. Earlier today, the Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the terror group’s “response...

What a disgraceful end to a disgraceful presidency. Rather than exit this presidential race with dignity, rather than show long-suffering Americans the respect we deserve, President Joe Biden hastily declared he's out — on social media. Joe Biden's ghosted us!...Biden has humiliated himself, the nation, the Democratic elites, megadonors and liberal-media enablers who spent years covering for him. And he didn't even initially endorse his Vice President! Someone had to clean up Aisle 9 on X with a hasty follow-up Kamala endorsement tweet.... Why didn't Biden, like LBJ before him, announce his monumental decision to stand down during a primetime...

“Look around you. Your wife, your family, your faith. That’s what makes you rich in life.” I finally caught up with a movie I had been wanting to see, Unsung Hero. various circumstances prevented me from catching it during its successful theater run, but I found it on Amazon for just $5.99 for 48 hours and my sister in law had given me an amazon gift card for my birthday, so I decided to rent the movie. I’m glad I did. Unsung Hero is a true story. It’s the story of the Smallbone family, their move from Australia to the...

We should have known it would be Nancy. After the Democrats electoral surge in the 2018 midterms, her daughter was asked how Pelosi—the incoming House Speaker—would approach negotiations with then-President Trump. “She’ll cut your head off and you won’t even know you’re bleeding,” Alexandra Pelosi said. Over the last three weeks as Biden teetered, only to recover, and was beaten down, only to rally, it was Pelosi who kept coming back to the fight. As Politico reported, “Each time the Dump Biden movement seemed to stall, it was Pelosi who personally took pains to help revive it.” In a July...

Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) is reportedly thinking about returning to the Democrats and running for the White House now that President Joe Biden has announced he would be ending his 2024 re-election bid. CNN’s Jake Tapper reported Sunday on X that sources close to Manchin said the senator is considering re-registering to the Democratic Party and “throwing his hat into the ring.” Sources also told NBC News that Manchin was considering a bid against Vice President Kamala Harris, who is the only declared candidate seeking the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination so far.
