The Kennedy campaign announced on Wednesday that it had submitted the necessary paperwork and filing fee to appear on the Louisiana state ballot. Louisiana allows independent candidates the choice of paying a filing fee or petitioning for signatures. According to a press release from the campaign, it paid the $500 filing fee and submitted its elector Notices of Candidacy and Affidavits of Acceptance of Nomination. As an independent candidate, Kennedy had the choice between paying the fee or collecting the signatures of 5,000 registered voters, with at least 500 signatures from each of Louisiana’s congressional districts. “We are thrilled Robert...

NATIONAL WINE AND CHEESE DAY On July 25, we celebrate the ultimate pairing of wine and cheese. National Wine and Cheese Day provides an opportunity to enjoy some of our favorites or sample something new. #NationalWineAndCheeseDay The pairing of wines and cheese has been a regionalized tradition. Across wine-producing cultures, many pair their regional wines with local cheeses. For example, the French Brie region is noted for its tannic wine varietals. Their Beaujolais goes well with the Brie produced in the area. However, that doesn't stop a sommelier or cheesemonger from making other recommendations to their clientele. Although regional preferences...

Whistleblower tells me local law enforcement partners & suppliers offered drones to Secret Service BEFORE the rally - but Secret Service declined ... Inside job. ... the drones USSS was offered have the capability not only to identify active shooters but also to help neutralize them

I just received my Washing State ballot for the primary. I only recognize one or two names on it. Does anyone know of an American First resource we trust to vet all these people and make recommendations? Something like the Heritage Foundation or the Washing State GOP. There are several races where multiple GOP candidates are running and I have never of any of them. I don't want to vote for the wrong republican or someone who has no chance of wining.

A drug commonly used to treat cystic fibrosis improved outcomes for patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia and could be used to treat other respiratory infections, according to clinical trial results. The study found that the drug dornase alfa reduced hyper-inflammation in COVID-19 pneumonia patients, which occurs when the body's immune system reacts too strongly and can lead to tissue damage and death. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the proportion of SARS-CoV-2 infections that result in death has fallen. This is partly down to increased immunity from prior infection or vaccination, as well as improved treatments such as dexamethasone....

Philanthropist Melinda French Gates said she is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. French Gates, who said she has never before endorsed a candidate, said the likely Democratic nominee is the "right candidate, right now" in an interview on "CBS Mornings." "She has believed in women's reproductive freedom from the beginning of her career, and that got rolled back under previous administrations. She knows what society is up against now. She's for paid family medical leave. She's for caregiving ... She has always been outspoken on these topics, and I think she's a woman of our time." On a personal level,...

You say to-MAY-to and I say to-MAH-to. You say KAM-a-la, and Trump says Ka-MA-la. Let's call the whole thing off! CNN This Morning devoted a segment to the subject of Trump's pronunciation of Harris's first name. Host Kasie Hunt and CNN analyst and former Dem aide Karen Finney insisted that Trump's mispronunciation was "intentional." Jonah Goldberg wasn't so sure it was intentional, but he agreed with Finney that it was an attempt to "other" her. Really? How is Ka-MA-la any more foreign that KA-ma-la? Neither is exactly Mary Jane. In any case, a country that twice elected Barack Hussein Obama...

WASHINGTON — Now a caretaker president, Joe Biden has no realistic hope of getting a divided Congress to pass unfinished parts of his agenda. But what he can do in his remaining months in office may be even more important in preserving America's democratic traditions: stop Donald Trump's return to power, the president suggested Wednesday night in his Oval Office address. “Nothing,” Biden said, “nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy. That includes personal ambition. So, I’ve decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation.” Biden has left it to his...

The Mormon Church — officially the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) — is quietly welcoming thousands of migrants sent to Utah from overcrowded Denver, Colorado, despite public protests by state and local elected officials. Utah has suffered under the arrival of thousands of cast-off border crossers sent its way by officials in Denver, but even as the state has no resources for migrants, the Mormon Church is quietly welcoming them, causing the public burden to magnify. Republican Gov. Spencer Cox voiced his outrage in June after he said he just “learned” that Denver had been sending thousands...

Sky News host Rita Panahi reacts to Vice President Kamala Harris’ backflip from being an “open border radical” to discouraging people from crossing the border illegally. “Oh they did come Kamala. They came and they weren't turned back,” Ms Panahi said. “11 million entered illegally. Well done border czar.”

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Touting President Joe Biden’s ‘Investing in America’ agenda, and speculation that he may be selected as a VP candidate, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg will visit Central Indiana next week. The exact location of the visit to Central Indiana is not mentioned in a press release issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation, other than it is a ‘future EV battery manufacturing facility in Indiana.’ Buttigieg is the former mayor of South Bend, Ind.

After several very confusing days, Joe Biden finally emerged on Wednesday after dropping out of the presidential race over the weekend. Appearing very frail, the president addressed the nation from the Oval Office in what was billed as an explanation of why he abruptly stepped aside as the Democratic Party nominee. Unfortunately, though perhaps expectedly, Biden provided no real information at all. In fact, his clearly deteriorating condition combined with the things he said only served to deepen the scandal around him and Kamala Harris. Who is actually the president? Why is he remaining in office if he can't run...

The good Dr struggles to explain Kamala by repeating some of her more interesting statements. This is baaaad.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Presidential candidate Kamala Harris distanced herself from Kamala Harris after members of the press confronted her with questions about her past. "I am not now nor have I ever been Kalama Harris," Kalama Harris replied. "I have no knowledge of Kamala Harris and I can assure you Kalama Harris has never been a part of who I am. Any claims to the contrary are sexist and racist." Following Kamala Harris's statement, news outlets were quick to condemn anyone who has ever referred to Kamala Harris as Kamala Harris. "As usual, the Republicans are engaging in a misinformation...

ransomnote I watched a video about the Dem party in disarray, with Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris of The Duran and made some quick notes on the content about 2 days ago.I think their theories create the most plausible and interesting description I've found of the musical-chairs scuffle taking place in the Dem party as they tussle over the selection of their candidate for the 2024 election.I initially posted my notes on the first 11 minutes of the video in a comment to FR (Part 1). I went back to make notes on the rest of the video because I...
