Former Trump administration communications director Anthony Scaramucci said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump calling Vice President Kamala Harris dumb is a “sign of his racism.” Discussing Trump’s news conference at Mar-a-Lago, Scaramucci said, “If he starts saying his crowds are bigger than Taylor Swift’s, then you know we’re in real psychotic territory.” He continued, “I know him very well. He’s very upset. He spent the last couple of days socializing ideas about campaign changes and strategy, which is why he’s not moving around the country. He then went to his staff and said, let me show...

The federal government has backed up California state regulators in ordering the company that bottles Arrowhead water to stop drawing from the San Bernardino Mountains. Though BlueTriton Brands draws from springs in the mountains that have been used for bottled water since 1906, environmental activists have claimed the removal of that water is harming wildlife, particularly Strawberry Creek. About a year ago, California’s Water Resources Control Board ordered BlueTriton to stop using the water, which flows through public lands like the San Bernardino National Forest.

@Rasmussen_Poll Sometimes it is lonely being an independent pollster with integrity. Trump is beating Kamala Harris. Just like he was beating Biden (remember the numbers said she polled worse than him for four years?)

Begich, a firm opponent of ranked choice voting, has said that if he finishes behind Dahlstrom in the race, he will drop out in order to consolidate support behind her. Dahlstrom hasn’t made a similar promise.

This week brings us another new batch of damning articles from the pro-Ukrainian Western media. The most telling of these comes from German Die Welt, which exposes how nearly all NATO ‘insiders’ secretly whisper among themselves that Ukraine stands no chance, but they dare not say so in public: https://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/plus252746254/Russlands-Krieg-Die-duestere-Ukraine-Realitaet-ueber-die-Nato-Insider-nur-anonym-sprechen-wollen.htmlIn Brussels, no one expected that Ukraine will win their lost territories back. Only no one wants to talk about it – at least officially. Die Welt has spoken with a number of insiders that give reasons for their gloomy outlook with one of Europe's self-inflicted fact.Excuse the slightly wonky autotranslation,...

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) has issued an executive order to require all votes for the upcoming November election be cast with a paper ballot. Executive Order 35, signed on Wednesday, codifies the election security procedures put into place during Youngkin’s administration. The order outlines several election integrity requirements, including a “documented chain of custody” wherein ballots will be tracked through “every step of the process,” and that no voting machines will be used — just paper ballot-counting machines that are not connected to the internet. EO 35 also instructs the state’s Department of Elections to remove “non-citizens who may...

It appears that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has been caught red-handed. Amid growing evidence that Walz has lied about aspects of his military service, an act known as stolen valor, the Harris campaign has scrubbed claims that Walz had served as a “retired command sergeant major” from their campaign website. The Kamala Harris campaign scrubbed his bio page and replaced it with another bio. Here is the link to the original claims made by the Kamala-Walz campaign. This was another example of Stolen Valor – Walz was not a retired Command Sergeant Major. And here is the language on the...

Vice President Kamala Harris has gone 18 days without holding a formal press conference since becoming the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee as of Thursday. "It's been 18 days and Kamala Harris is still not taking questions from the media or voters. Regardless of who you support, a terrible precedent has been set," Rep. Kevin Kiley, R-Calif., posted on X. Harris became essentially the de facto nominee after President Biden endorsed her on July 21 when he dropped out of the race and she officially clinched the nomination last week. She has been busy on the campaign trail, spoken at various...

The Georgia Election Board voted Wednesday to reopen an investigation into the 2020 election results from Fulton County. Located in the heart of Atlanta, the most populous county in the state has been the epicenter for many accusations of fraud in the 2020 election. The election board, with 3-2 majority Republicans, voted on party lines for the state Attorney General’s office to open another probe. The investigation was first closed on May 7, but was reopened because of additional concerns about “missing ballot images, duplicated recount votes, and missing documents.” At that time, the county received a letter of reprimand...

Butler PA officers at Trump rally after the shooting, discussing that they had warned USSS about vulnerabilities far in advance. “I f**ing told them to post guys over here. I told the Secret Service Tuesday!”

The leaders of Qatar, Egypt, and the US on Thursday issued a joint statement in which they called on Israel and Hamas to resume urgent talks on August 15, either in Doha or Cairo, to bridge all remaining gaps in the proposed hostage release and ceasefire agreement and start implementing it without any delay. "It is the time to conclude a ceasefire agreement and release hostages and prisoners," the statement added. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said in response to the statement, "Following the proposal of the United States and the mediators, Israel will send on August 15 its negotiations...

Kamala Harris and her running mate stolen valor Tim Walz visited a United Autoworkers Union Hall in Detroit, Michigan on Thursday. The UAW endorsed Harris after she forced Biden off the ballot last month. The union may have endorsed Harris but the members love Trump. UAW President Shawn Fain admitted most of the union members will support President Trump.

Local news media recently reported that the New...

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham announced Monday the launch of an ad campaign in Texas with the aim of recruiting more abortionists and medical providers to relocate the state. The move is highly questionable, as abortion proponents dishonestly attempt to blame the problem of “maternity care deserts” on states that enact pro-life laws. It seems that now, New Mexico wants to contribute to the problem for the sake of increasing abortion in their state. The initiative, titled “Free to Provide,” includes billboards and full-page ads placed in major newspapers across Texas, including the Austin American-Statesman, Dallas Morning News, Fort...

A director at Yale is in hot water after technical difficulties caused an audio recording to be accidentally leaked in which he disparaged a research participant, saying "that guy sucked" and that he exhibited "White discomfort." Dr. Ryan McNeil, a director at Yale University Medical School's addiction wing, was interviewing a New York activist, Shawn Hill, for a government-funded study on supervised drug-injection sites. The conversation was – from Hill's perspective – cordial and uneventful. But he is now calling them "activist researchers" and "unprofessional people" after a recording of them trash-talking about him was accidentally sent to his inbox....

Just how pro-abortion are Kamala Harris and Tim Walz? As Vice President, Kamala Harris fully prioritized abortion, not just as an option, but as a moral good to be celebrated. She is the first sitting Vice President to visit a Planned Parenthood abortion business, a gesture that demonstrates her strong devotion to the abortion industry. Harris’s record and actions make it clear that she is not simply “pro-choice”, but actively “pro-abortion.” But Harris wasn’t alone when she toured the abortion facility that profits from killing babies. Her newly-minted running mate Tim Walz was with her. “I’m here at this health...

Kathy Miller says Walz abandoned his troops. She told The Daily Mail, “My son was killed in Iraq serving in the military unit Tim Walz abandoned.” The Daily Mail reported: When soldier Kyle Miller was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq on June 29, 2006, the man expected to lead them into combat was not there. Tim Walz, who would go on to be Kamala Harris’ running mate, left his Minnesota National Guard unit two months before it deployed – and some will never trust him again… …In an emotional interview with DailyMail.com, nearly two decades after 19-year-old Kyle’s...

Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly considering selecting Brian Fallon, a Democratic activist who advocated for various far-left policies, as her White House press secretary if she wins November’s presidential election. On Wednesday morning, Axios co-founders Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei released a report titled “Behind the Curtain: The Harris Cabinet.” The report details what the authors called “preliminary” options for a host of high-profile roles in a potential Harris administration. Allen and VandeHei wrote that if she is elected in November, Harris “is expected to name a Cabinet and West Wing that are younger than President Biden’s,...
