    Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, who dropped out of the Democratic Senate race a month before the primary, endorsed Abdul El-Sayed as he maintained a narrow advantage over Rep. Haley Stevens early Wednesday morning. “I’m proud to give Abdul my full endorsement and support as we head to November together as a unified party,” she said in a statement. El-Sayed led Stevens by roughly two points at the time of McMorrow’s endorsement. Both candidates said early Wednesday morning the race would likely be decided later in the day. McMorrow urged Democrats to unite behind El-Sayed after a bruising primary that...

    JUST IN: Indian animal abuser Shri Thanedar, who defrauded investors and drove his first wife to suicide after using her for a green card, has been crushed in his primary. Best known for repeatedly filing frivolous impeachment articles against President Trump and for the small mammal that lives atop his head, Thanedar now joins Jasmine Crockett, Eric Swalwell, Al Green, Dan Goldman, and others in the unemployment line. Denaturalize and deport this loser now.

  • Arizona’s Democratic Governor Set to Pick a Republican Running Mate

    The New York Times ^ | 8-4-26 | Sejal GovindaraoKellen Browning and Reis Thebault
    Gov. Katie Hobbs of Arizona, a vulnerable Democrat running for re-election, plans to tap a longtime Republican and former mayor of a Phoenix suburb to serve as her running mate, according to two people familiar with the decision. John Giles, a former mayor of Mesa, Ariz., is expected to be announced in the coming days as Ms. Hobbs’s lieutenant governor nominee. Neither Ms. Hobbs nor her campaign would confirm the choice, and nothing is final until an announcement. But the apparent pick is a nod to bipartisanship in a campaign that will pit Ms. Hobbs, a low-key Democrat, against Representative...

    Daily Readings from the USCCBAt that time Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out, “Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon.” But he did not say a word in answer to her. His disciples came and asked him, “Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us.” Matthew 15:21–23At first glance, this interaction is surprising. Yet Jesus is performing an act of love toward the Canaanite woman, while at the same time offering an important lesson to...

    FIFTY LABORATORIES OF DEMOCRACY One of the most common misunderstandings about our Founding Fathers is that they intended for each state to be free to decide how big or small a government to have. This idea, taught for generations in the schools and regularly repeated by the press and political class, posits that the Founding Fathers were specific about the federal government, but they didn’t care at all how big each state, county, or local government became. They teach that each state was to be its own “laboratory of democracy,” free to be anything from libertarian to dictatorial, as each...

    "If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal" (1 Cor. 13:1). Love distinguishes true communication from useless chatter and meaningless noises. Paul begins his discourse on love by stating the futility of languages without love. The Corinthians were enamored with the showy spiritual gifts, apparently to the neglect of those they deemed less spectacular (see 1 Cor. 12:12-31). One of the gifts they prized most highly was tongues, which was the Spirit-given ability to declare God's truth in a language unknown to...

    Andy Burnham is "looking into" the possibility of holding a public inquiry into the UK activities of the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to victims minister Alex Davies-Jones. Speaking to BBC Newsnight, Davies-Jones said that the prime minister had agreed to meet Epstein's victims. She said the government is also reviewing whether the alleged actions of former Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed could also be part of an inquiry. Davies-Jones resigned from former Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's government in May, later accusing his government of failing to listen to Epstein's survivors. She was reappointed as victims minister when...

    The sale of gaming giant Electronic Arts (EA) for $55bn (£41bn) to a group of buyers including Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) has been finalised. The American company is known for making and publishing best-selling games such as EA FC, formerly known as Fifa, The Sims and Mass Effect. The investors, who include Affinity Partners - led by President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner - are taking EA private, meaning all of its public shares will be purchased and it will no longer be traded on a stock exchange. It is thought to be the largest leveraged buyout in...

    An armed man, said to be creeping around and monitoring “security-planning activities,” was arrested Sunday with a pistol and ammunition outside Trump National Golf Course Los Angeles — just two days before the president’s visit to the very same location. Jeanine John Taele, 38, from Downey, Calif., was taken into custody outside the Rancho Palos Verdes site by sheriff’s deputies after federal agents first spotted him lurking in the area, taking photos and videos, and monitoring security-planning activities, law enforcement said. When deputies assigned to the Lomita Sheriff’s Station first made contact with Taele, they determined he was being investigated...

    She’s gotta maple-leave! The lefty Canadian illegal immigrant who attacked a teen in patriotic clothing on a New Jersey boardwalk is getting the boot back to Canuck. A Texas immigration judge ordered Kaitlyn Tracey to be deported back to her home country Tuesday – before the teen slapper entered a guilty plea on an assault charge stemming from the Fourth of July weekend brawl at Point Pleasant boardwalk, a courtroom heard. Tracey, 33 – who attended a criminal court hearing in Toms River over the phone from a Texas ICE lockup – only copped to one count of simple assault,...

    Replacing the Cross with a Portrait of XiThe CCP is mandating the removal of thousands of crosses, icons, and sacramentals from Catholic churches and replacing them with portraits of former Chairman Mao Zedong and those of President Xi Jinping.While the Vatican is apparently counting the secret payoffs it receives from the Chinese Communist Party, the CCP is mandating the removal of thousands of crosses, icons, and sacramentals from Catholic churches and replacing them with portraits of former Chairman Mao Zedong and those of President Xi Jinping, which must be affixed above the pulpit and elsewhere. For example, in Anhui Province...

    Adam Hamilton has won the Democratic nomination for the US Senate in Kansas. Hamilton, a political outsider who works as a megachurch pastor and author, was selected as the nominee on Tuesday evening shortly after polls closed. GOP leaders are working to send incumbent Republican Roger Marshall back to the Senate from a state typically seen as a conservative stronghold, but currently has a Democrat in the governor's office. 1932 was the last time Democrats won a US Senate election in Kansas, but the state's current governor, Democrat Laura Kelly, won in 2018 and 2022. As results rolled in Tuesday...
