    "Like all regular people I grew up with in the heartland, JD studied at Yale, had his career funded by Silicon Valley billionaires, and then wrote a best seller trashing that community," Walz said. "Come on —that's not what Middle America is!"

    Kamala Harris (We have to stay woke) has chosen MN Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. He is one interesting choice. Together they easily comprise the most far left ticket to which this country has even been witness. It's no stretch to suggest this is the advent of Communism in the US. They lead the party that encourages the burning of cities and bailing out the arsonists. Walz portrays himself as sort of a jolly older man who views socialism as "neighborlyness" but his record reveals him to be at least as far left as is Harris. Let's dive...

    WASHINGTON – The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has opened a “leak” investigation into the release of information regarding eight flights on which Air Marshals surveilled former presidential candidate and member of Congress Tulsi Gabbard, Empower Oversight has learned. The move improperly targets Federal Air Marshals (FAMs) who blew the whistle on the wasted resources and abuse of authority in targeting American citizens who pose no threat to fellow passengers.

    A woman dubbed 'America's worst mayor' has had the privilege of using her administration's credit cards revoked after an alleged spending frenzy. Tiffany Henyard was banned on Monday from using Dolton village credit cards after the Illinois village board of trustees brought in measures against her. The trustees have said that they will only allow the Director of Administrative Services to use the village's credit card on 'board-approved purchases' only.

    The Post & Email Newspaper ^ | 07 Aug 2024 | Joseph DeMaio
    (Aug. 7, 2024) — INTRODUCTION As long-time P&E readers know, your humble servant has for many years railed on about the “natural born Citizen” (“nbC”) issue and how it has been handled (and mishandled) by commentators, scholars and governmental agencies such as the Congressional Research Service (“CRS”). But now, in mid-2024, with the issue again presenting itself in the form of the candidacy for president of one Kamala Devi Harris, and opposed to a tedious repeat of past posts, a brief “one-stop-shopper’s” refresher course, gathering and summarizing in one post the highlights of the debate, may be helpful for those...

    Progressive Squad member Cori Bush had an on-stage meltdown Tuesday after losing her reelection bid. The progressive Democrat became the second Squad member to be taken down after a hotly-contested primary against a more moderate challenger who hammered Bush for supporting pro-Gaza protests. Now, she is blaming her defeat on pro-Israel group AIPAC which put a whopping nearly $9 million to oust her, that she threatened to 'tear down.'

    JERUSALEM, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Israel has conducted a systematic policy of prisoner abuse and torture since the start of the Gaza war, subjecting Palestinian detainees to acts ranging from arbitrary violence to sexual abuse, Israeli rights group B'Tselem said in a report. It said the report, issued on Monday, was based on interviews with 55 Palestinians from Gaza, the West Bank and Israel detained in Israeli prisons since Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel that set off the war, most of them without being tried.

    Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, was chosen to become Kamala Harris’s running mate. He is a communist, and his actions in office prove it. He has seriously damaged Minnesota and wants to do the same for the country. THE RADICAL MARXIST WITH TIES TO CHINA Walz fawned over Communist China and taught a class there. He said he was never treated so well. They gave him gifts. He marveled that there was no crime. I guess he never heard of the gulags. “No one is more pro-China than Marxist Walz,” Richard Grenell, former acting director of National Intelligence under...

    More than half a billion dollars was stolen from Minnesota nutrition and frontline worker programs under Gov. Tim Walz, the Democrat vice presidential nominee, in an enormous pandemic-era fraud scheme for which critics are calling him out. Fraudsters allegedly bought luxury cars, boats, jewelry, properties, and more with around $250 million stolen from the Federal Child Nutrition Program, ABC News reported of an audit report and court documents. The crime ring used a nonprofit organization called “Feeding Our Future” to launder “millions of dollars in program funds that were intended as reimbursements for the cost of serving meals to children,”...

    An Israeli delegation has been banned from a youth ultimate frisbee competition in Belgium after they were targeted by anti-Israel protests and vandalism. According to the ultimate frisbee site Ultiworld, the Israeli delegation to the U-17 European Youth Ultimate Championships in Ghent, Belgium, consisted of two teams, competing in the open and mixed divisions. From the get-go, the organizers of the competition were met with heavy pressure due to the Israeli participation. Shortly before the competition was set to begin, the Ghent city council and police decided to ban the Israeli teams from playing in the city due to a...
  • Kamala Up? What Do the Polls Really Say?

    This is an interesting situation. As Kamala rises in the polls, the stock market declines. Are the two linked? Probably not, but who knows? As of today, the Kamala bounce seems to be real. A Morning Consult poll from early this month has Harris up by 4 over Trump. This is a massive poll of 11,000+ registered voters, supposedly giving it more credibility. But what would be more convincing would be a more targeted poll of likely voters. One key takeaway from this poll is that Kamala’s popularity may have peaked at 50% and is now moving down. In what...
  • Aerosmith announces retirement mid-tour after lead singer suffers vocal injury

    MANCHESTER, N.H. — After more than 50 years of rock ‘n’ roll, Aerosmith is retiring from performing. The announcement came during the band’s farewell tour on Friday. The reason for the band’s early retirement is their lead singer, Steven Tyler’s vocal injury. “Sadly, it is clear, that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible. We have made a heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary, decision – as a band of brothers – to retire from the touring stage,” said Aerosmith. Tyler injured his vocal cords last September during an earlier show on the band’s 40-date “Peace Out: The...

    All eyes are on the office sector as the future of commercial buildings in many cities depends upon its success, but the future isn’t looking too bright. Foreclosure rates on commercial properties have increased 48% from last year, according to a recent report from ATTOM. This rise in foreclosures is part of a larger overall trend. After reaching a peak in October 2014 with 889 commercial foreclosures, the numbers fell to a record low of 141 in May 2020 and then began rising again. Declining office performance likely attributed to the year-over-year increase in commercial foreclosures, said Joe Brady, former...

The members of this new Axis also make fantastic allies of convenience, if not ideology. A bit like Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia allying for the brief and brutal business of carving up Poland ...

    As Democrats scramble to assemble a ticket following Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is putting himself out there as potential vice-presidential pick. He is making the rounds of national talk shows bragging about his record. A closer look reveals little to brag about.During his first term as governor, Walz faced two major challenges: The riots following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and COVID-19. He fumbled both.As the Twin Cities burned for three days in May 2020, Walz froze, terrified of upsetting his party’s activist base which sympathized with the rioters, for whom...
