Kamala Harris admitted she played a crucial role in Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal decision. The Vice President confirmed she was the last person in the room before Biden decided to pull all U.S. troops out of Afghanistan.

Matt Driscoll, the columnist and opinion editor for The News Tribune (TNT), known for his pro-vaccine stance and attacking anyone who spoke out against the jab, died suddenly at his Tacoma home this Sunday, he was 43. TNT announced Driscoll’s death this week. “We’ve lost a fried and beloved colleague, but Tacoma and Pierce County have lost someone who never stopped caring,” said fellow TNT writer Sean Robinson.

The same writers who proclaimed Joe Biden “sharp as a tack” are now busy denying that Joe appointed Kamala Harris his “border czar.” While giving that failure the attention it deserves, recall the new span of the Bay Bridge from San Francisco to Oakland. The original double-deck span had served well since the 1930s and was quickly repaired after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The structure could have been retrofitted for an estimated $250 million but Bay Area Democrats wanted a new bridge they said would cost $1 billion. California boasts some of the best bridge builders in the world...

For the past four years, as both America and the world have descended in a downward spiral, from prosperity and security to recession and risk, Joe Biden has been assigned much of the blame. That’s not unusual; the executive branch traditionally gets much of the credit for good news and much of the blame for bad news, whether deserved or not. Since Joe Biden was installed in the Oval Office on January 20, 2021, it’s not surprising that the dumpster fire of the past four years would be largely laid at his feet. But it is not entirely fair. And...

James Piereson is a political scholar and analyst for the Manhattan Institute. He recently wrote a column comparing Kamala Harris to failed 1988 presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, but one of the most fascinating parts of the column is a passage where he predicts the outcome of the 2024 election. Piereson writes at The New Criterion (bolding added for emphasis): [Kamala Harris is now enjoying this kind of moment as she racks up endorsements in anticipation of the Democratic National Convention in August. Democrats and media allies are busy portraying her as a fresh face (she is not) and a youthful...

Citing the "massive security failures that nearly resulted in former President Trump's assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania" and "the recent sudden resignation of Director Kimberly Cheatle," Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe warned Trump "the fluke that saved your life on July 13 cannot be relied upon to save it again. I advised Mr. Trump to discontinue any future campaign events." "Let's look at the factors that make these events so dangerous," Rowe pointed out. "There are always going to be sloped roof, weather, laziness, indifference, and incompetence issues that make providing protection difficult. On top of these, as a government...

76% of all personal income tax last month went to servicing the $34 trillion national debt. How did we get here? Two men: FDR and Richard Nixon. Together, they broke the dollar. And put the American people into debt slavery. (3 minute and 46 seconds video in the link below) https://x.com/profstonge/status/1816813562771255713

The FBI wants to question President Trump to determine whether he was hit by a bullet on July 13 at his Butler, Pennsylvania rally, according to The New York Times. The FBI is examining bullet fragments found at the Butler rally to determine whether Trump’s ear was hit by shrapnel, according to The Times. On July 13 President Trump was grazed in the ear after a 20-year-old gunman named Thomas Matthew Crooks climbed on a roof and took several shots at Trump and rallygoers in Butler. WATCH:

VIDEOIt's all over for the candidacy of Kamala Harris. Jim Cramer just hyped her. And if you know about the infamous Cramer Inverse Effect it means that anything that Cramer hypes will flop. Remember Bear Stearns as just one of many examples of the Cramer Inverse Effect? Cramer further doomed Kamala's candidacy by telling the TRUTH. He stated that she stands for globalism while the Republican ticket is populist which favors American companies over international corporations that don't give a damn for the American worker.

The photo of the apparent drone was taken by Kristinn Taylor at 3:54 p.m. EDT according to the time stamp on the image. Here is a screengrab of the photo with its time stamp. Kristinn took the photo from the pathway approaching the Secret Service magnetometer checkpoint, facing back toward the line of Trump supporters as they snaked their way from the parking area and merchandise row. FBI Director Christopher Wray testified to Congress on Wednesday that Crooks flew a drone for about eleven minutes over the Butler Farm Show rally site about 200 yards or so away from the...

Footage found of VP Kamala Harris supporting 'DEFUND THE POLICE' has resurfaced, showing her extremely radical far-left views. Here are some standout quotes: "It's about upending the system" "We need to look at police budgets" "More safety with more cops is wrong"

Sometimes history is history, sometimes history is a harbinger and sometimes history is current events. The story of Roman Emperor Aurelian is all three… Aurelian took power in 270 AD. The previous 35 years had been nothing short of a disaster for the Empire on a variety of fronts. The trouble began with the (well deserved) assassination of Commodus in 192 AD. Always a force to be reckoned with, from that point forward the army required ever increasing bribes to remain loyal. Not surprisingly, the power of the army increased accordingly. At the same time, the treasury had been reducing...

A left-wing nonprofit that interfered in the 2020 election to Democrats’ benefit is coaching election offices on how to address concerns about leftist oligarchs’ silent coup to replace Joe Biden as the party’s presidential nominee. On Tuesday, the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) sent an email to its newsletter subscribers highlighting Biden’s Sunday exit from the 2024 race and informing election officials that “voters and media outlets will be looking to you for guidance in the coming weeks, and you will play a powerful role in shaping this emerging story.”

Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign could be derailed if she picks Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as her running mate. During an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle” with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Gingrich discussed the potential running mate picks floated for Harris and highlighted the issues of choosing Shapiro.

You would think, given all the questions about Joe Biden's health over the past three and a half years -- including his two bouts of COVID -- that we would have heard from his doctor, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, in all that time. But no. The Biden team seems to have gone out of their way to prevent him from being questioned or having him go before reporters in a briefing, trying to stall them off with a few written statements that don't necessarily answer the questions that people have. So much for transparency.

Remember the 2012 DNC? The guy on the street interview? “We all have to belong to something, so why not belong to the government?” while I was screaming at the screen “Some of us prefer to be self-owned and not slaves!” Funny times. It appears many women — not all but many — particularly the exquisitely indoctrinated ones think they must belong to “women” and that by virtue of being born “female” they owe some kind of allegiance to other people born with a vagina. And that goes double, with a cherry on top if they also happen to tan....

As Democratic leaders and donors express support for and confidence in Vice President Kamala Harris as the potential Democratic presidential nominee following President Biden’s decision to withdraw from the race, her family, including stepdaughter Ella Emhoff, are back in the spotlight. Emhoff, the 25-year-old daughter of Doug Emhoff, the second gentleman, is a Parsons School of Design graduate; she has signed brand deals and modeling contracts with multiple companies, and started her own company in 2021. Her father is a proud Jew, but Emhoff was not raised as a Jew nor does she identify with the religion. This past year,...

A new Rasmussen poll taken before the assassination attempt on President Trump and the resignation from the 2024 Democrat ticket by Joe Biden shows a shocking result. The poll shows the top issues still remain the economy (27%) and the border (20%). However, the demographic polled is interesting. Rasmussen also asked 2,466 the typical questions in an election year poll, however, they also asked about citizenship status. Respondents either answered “Yes,” “No,” or “Not sure.” Out of 2,466 respondents, 131 responded with “No” and 91 responded “Not sure” regarding their citizenship. This accounts for just over 9% of those polled...
