Daniel Alman from Squirrel Hill @DanielAlmanPGH #ArielleFodor says white people shouldn't point out errors that are made by black people. I'm happy when other people point out my own errors, and I'm happy to point out other people's errors. I don't care about race. What I do care about is truth.

With Kamala Harris now the presumptive Democratic Party nominee, it's worth remembering that the United States is still being actively run by a mentally deficient man who has no business anywhere near power. For now, Joe Biden is still the president, and he's as senile and corrupt as he's ever been. Providing a reminder of that was an incredibly bizarre and concerning scene on Monday. Standing on an airport tarmac next to Air Force One, Biden was asked about his newly proposed Supreme Court "reforms" being "dead on arrival" in the House of Representatives. The president then quipped, "That's what...

Vice President Kamala Harris has churned through her office staff, raising questions about her management style and leadership abilities as she advances unchallenged toward the Democratic presidential nomination. Researchers who analyzed payroll data found an “extraordinarily high” exodus rate from Ms. Harris’ vice presidential office. Those who have worked for her over the past decade report that she was a tyrannical boss who terrified her employees, cursed, discouraged direct eye contact and made employees stand at attention when she entered a room. One Democratic official whose son worked as an intern for Ms. Harris during her years as California’s attorney...

There is dysfunction inside the VP’s office, aides and administration officials say. And it’s emanating from the top. ~snip~ In interviews, 22 current and former vice presidential aides, administration officials and associates of Harris and Biden described a tense and at times dour office atmosphere. Aides and allies said Flournoy, in an apparent effort to protect Harris, has instead created an insular environment where ideas are ignored or met with harsh dismissals and decisions are dragged out. Often, they said, she refuses to take responsibility for delicate issues and blames staffers for the negative results that ensue. ~snip~ “People are...

Democrats have paid the company owned by the politically active daughter of compromised Judge Juan Merchan at least $12.7 million in the first half of this year. Federal election reports show Authentic Campaigns, the consulting firm owned by Loren Merchan, raked in the windfall between January 1 and July 1, 2024. Her father currently presides over Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Donald Trump in New York City. The sum represents an 86 percent increase in Authentic Campaigns receipts from the same time period in 2022. Democratic elected officials, candidates, and PACs reported $6.8 million in payments to Merchan...

Vice President Kamala Harris’ rapid response team shared a clip from a 3-year-old episode of The Federalist Radio Hour as a “stunning new leak” to claim J.D. Vance supports a conservative think tank’s project to staff the next administration. On Saturday, the Harris campaign published an interview between Vance with then-Federalist Publisher Ben Domenech and then-Editor Chris Bedford to allege the Republican senator from Ohio “completely endorses Project 2025.” The podcast, however, was taped and published before Vance had even launched his Senate candidacy and almost a year before the Heritage Foundation unveiled its project. “In a stunning new leak,”...

White liberal women to the rescue! White liberal women are now unleashing their super powers to help Kamala Harris and women of color! According reports, nearly 200,000 white women were on the ‘white women for Kamala Harris’ Zoom call over the weekend. “The meeting was organized by Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action, a gun-safety group with about 10 million members.” Reuters reported. A former teacher turned ‘influencer’ named “Mrs. Frazzled,” infantilized the entire group of women and spoke to them like toddlers. “As white women we need to use our privilege to make positive changes,” Mrs. Frazzled...

I just carried out these two searches at google. Google’s “predictions” prove that they have deliberately programmed their website to be biased against Trump.When Google was brand new, it was praised for being the most accurate and unbiased search engine that had ever exited. This proves that that is no longer the case.

Several athletes competing at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, including five Australian water polo players and a British swimmer, have tested positive for COVID-19, according to officials. The uptick in cases has raised questions around the measures in place to stop the spread of COVID at the Olympics. This year's Games are considered the first post-pandemic Olympics. Unlike the postponed 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, and the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, there are no strict protocols or restrictions around COVID-19 in Paris. However, COVID-19 is still spreading around the world. The United States is facing a summer wave, and...

When you don't know what to pray for, or you feel too overwhelmed to ask...Years ago, a Christian radio station had a suggestion about how to pray when you don’t know what to pray for. They said ‘just say the name of the Lord, Jesus, over and over again. He knows what you need.’Frankly I didn’t like the idea at first; I kind of rebelled when our pastor once said something similar (e.g., power in His name, monks would whisper His name while sweeping the floor or performing other mundane tasks). I didn’t like it because it sounded rote, or...

House Speaker Mike Johnson today announced the Republicans who will serve on the Bipartisan House Task Force to investigate the Trump assassination attempt and sparked an uproar among conservatives in the process. The seven GOPers listed are as follows: • Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Kelly • Tennessee Rep. Mark Green • Ohio Rep. Dave Joyce • Florida Rep. Laurel Lee • Florida Rep. Michael Waltz • Louisiana Rep. Clay Higgins • Texas Rep. Pat Fallon While there are a few terrific choices including Rep. Higgins and Rep. Green, he also includes one of the House’s biggest RINOs in Rep. David Joyce...

As many of you know, my family has some long political roots. My dad, J Eugene McAteer, was a San Francisco supervisor and state senator until his untimely death at age 51. (snip) While I have nothing against now-Senator Harris as she is a good orator and has done some fine things while holding elective office, I believe, however, how she treats her staff is as important as an individual’s legislative accomplishments. (snip) Gregory was also given instructions to never address Harris nor look her in the eye as that privilege was only allowed to senior staff members.

The Ohio Republican and running mate to Donald Trump attempted to downplay the comment again on Sunday. But The View co-host Ana Navarro wasn’t buying it. “They’ve given him, J.D. Vance, all these opportunities to clean up his childless cat lady comment, and he hasn’t been able to,” Navarro said. “Like, he ended up apologizing to the cats instead of to the ladies!”

Moore made no mention in his essay about Kamala Harris’ record as vice president or as a U.S. senator — her complete failure to stem the tsunami of illegal immigration on the southern border or her radical-left social agenda that has embraced defunding the police. Instead, he tacitly acknowledged that her appeal to Democrats lies almost entirely on her race and gender. "This country is female and not-so-white anymore,” he wrote. He also said the America embodied by white men “is being shown the door.”

Dan Bongino has been all over the Secret Service failure that resulted in the near-assassination of former President Trump. As a former Secret Service agent himself, Bongino has inside knowledge and sources that make him a great source of information you won't hear elsewhere. He's been there, so he knows how the Secret Service operates. ... “comprehensive breakdown of the Secret Service failure in Butler County, Pennsylvania” and went over some recent developments in the story, such as the fact that law enforcement officers who were assigned to monitor the roof the shooter fire from did not do so because...

McDonald's reported a surprise fall in sales in the April to June quarter - as customers cut down on trips to the fast food giant. Americans placed fewer orders than a year ago - meaning sales were down by nearly one per cent. Globally, sales fell by a similar amount. McDonald's saw fewer customers, but it said those who came spent more because of price increases. It was the first sales decline since 2020 when the pandemic shuttered stores and millions stayed home. Profits also slumped by 12 percent. Big price rises - including fan favorites like a Big Mac...

MRC Business took a trip down memory lane to illustrate why Netflix co-founder and Executive Chairman Reed Hastings’ multimillion-dollar support for Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidency is about as cringy as it gets. The Information reported July 23 that Hastings gave a whopping $7 million donation to the leftist Republican Accountability PAC to bolster Harris’ candidacy, “his biggest donation ever in support of a single candidate.” Hastings boasted of his newfound enthusiasm to The Information for the 2024 election after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race, “‘After the depressing debate, we are in the game again.’” But this isn’t...

Can anyone suggest an app to block unknown callers on my android phone please?
