George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, a frequent critic of the media, pointed to how some things were left unstated in the piece but deserved mention, like the fact that Kamala Harris herself undoubtedly knew of Biden's decline as did the press - by the WaPo's own admission: //

Throughout all of this, the corporate media has shown us who they really are over and over again, gaslighting us on Biden when it was obvious what was going on and only conveniently reversing course after the debate out of sheer panic over Biden essentially confirming what his critics have said about him all along, the same critics who purported news outlets like the WaPo relentlessly bashed.

there was a moment during the rally that caught everyone by surprise. A woman in the audience appeared to be having a medical emergency — possibly heat-related.

Trump paused his speech and summoned a doctor over to assist her. Then, after waiting a few moments, he strode down off the stage and out from behind the plexiglass over to the stands where she was to check on her directly.

The DNC is the worst event I’ve ever been to. People are getting trampled, jumping over barriers.

Floor delegate behind me just called it “absolute chaos,” another said “a really bad system in terms of somebody getting trampled”

The DNC told press we could get credentials starting at 9:30.

Now everyone in the media is standing around because they don’t have them—the volunteers were told credentialing doesn’t start until 11.

A lot of scoffing and eye rolling, complete cluster

I’m legitimately shocked at how catastrophic the logistics of the DNC are. I’m talking to an Illinois State Rep, Cyril Nichols (D), who has given up on trying to get in. “This is horrible,” he says, pointing out other State Reps still stuck on the endless “line” to nowhere

They also noted the difference between the DNC and the RNC, which they called a "smoothly operated event."

"The gap that I see in all these speeches -- as good as they were -- [Kamala Harris] is in the White House right now. Democrats have controlled the White House for 12 of the last 16 years, and for all of the talk about division and the problems in the country, and people are hurting, Democrats have mostly controlled this country.

Trump had it for four, the Obama's and Biden had it for the rest of the time, and somehow, it’s still all Trump’s fault, and somehow, she hasn’t been at the center of it. To me, that is the glaring hole in this campaign that hasn’t yet been solved at the convention. How do you explain all of the problems that will be solved by the person who is currently in there for the last three and a half years, and who is supposed to be already working on solving it?"

Pelosi continued to say that Israel has a right to defend itself, leading the protesters to shout even louder. As she argued in favor of a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, many of the protesters further lost their minds.

We have had a commitment to Israel. It’s been in our security interest to do so. Israel was attacked by a terrorist organization. We want the hostages freed. But we don’t want children killed in Gaza. And so we have to come up with a solution. //

Any mention of the children that have been killed in Israel?
I didn’t think so.

I imagine this arrangement should help the credit bureaus steer more people away from freezing their and toward their respective “credit lock” services, which the bureaus have marketed as just as good as a credit freeze but also easier to use.

All three big bureaus tout their credit lock services as an easier and faster alternative to freezes — mainly because these alternatives aren’t as disruptive to their bottom lines. //

Unsurprisingly, the bureaus’ use of the term credit lock has confused many consumers; this was almost certainly by design. But here’s one basic fact consumers should keep in mind about these lock services: Unlike freezes, locks are not governed by any law, meaning that the credit bureaus can change the terms of these arrangements when and if it suits them to do so.

Here’s how I used ChatGPT and a little bit of JavaScript to figure out I could win this video contest... and then proceed to win it. //

All told, there were 538 entries competing for prizes in the contest. n/(538+n)n/(538+n)n/(538+n) doesn’t sound like great odds, does it?

Let’s dig deeper to see why winning isn’t as improbable as it sounds on the surface. To do this, we’ll review the existing submissions. //

Now we can get to figuring out the probabilities and odds. For this, we’ll use a function to calculate the binomial coefficient.

Wow.

Biden's line that he believes the pro-Hamas extremists outside the DNC "have a point" was not part of his speech.

He just felt that in his heart and decided to add it in there.

No Israel. No Jews. No Palestinian atrocities. No Hamas. Just "Palestinian people", "Palestinian suffering," and GAZA, GAZA, GAZA."
Oh, and the Hamas mob calling for the destruction of the USA and the Jews, and the police outside? They "have a point."

“Tell Michael…”

Pelosi is worse than a crime worm, because at least the crime worm is honest about their actions and motivations.

The press wasn't interested in that part of the trip, though. Instead, they've spent the last few days obsessing over the fact that some KKK members once marched in Howell. Naturally, that means Trump must be showing some form of tacit support for white supremacy.

Yes, it's as stupid of a contention as has ever existed, and when Trump was asked about it by a reporter, he was ready. It was a mic drop moment, rhetorically speaking at least.

What the reporter says is largely inaudible, but you can make out that she's asking Trump about visiting a city "linked to white supremacy." The crowd groaned in disapproval for a moment before the former president stepped up to the podium. You could tell that he knew he had her.

TRUMP: Who was here in 2021?

REPORTER: Joe Biden

TRUMP: Thank you. Thank you, everybody

(Cheers)

What Trump is referring to is a visit Joe Biden made to Howell back in 2021. In fact, RedState reported on that visit right after it occurred because protesters showed up to show their displeasure at the president's visit. Was Biden supporting white supremacy when he showed up? That wasn't even a thought in the press' mind because they save such insane stretches of logic for Republicans. //

It was Aishah Hasnie from FOX. She was NOT asking a gotcha question. She told Trump that the Harris campaign was saying this "white supremacy" crap and was curious of Trumps response. She actually helped Trump with the set up. She also had the "Joe Biden" answer to Trump's question.

If Johnson and GOP leadership actually cared about providing a contrasting vision from that produced by Democrats, they’d put their majority to good use. This means spending the August recess holding daily congressional hearings that underscore the severity of the ongoing border invasion and making the case to the American public on why government funding should be withheld next month unless the Biden-Harris administration fixes the crisis.

But Republicans aren’t doing any of that.

When they’re not issuing performative outrage tweets about what Democrats are saying at the DNC, they’re rushing to the nearest Fox News camera to warn viewers about how dangerous the modern left has become.

“Vote Republican to save America!” says the House GOP that’s funded a myriad of Democrat priorities since winning the majority nearly two years ago. //

Even if they lose an election here or there, Democrats recognize that Republicans lack the willpower to overturn tyrannical policies implemented during their time in power, and that voters will put them in charge once the electoral pendulum swings back in their favor. They also have the added bonus of a hyper-politicized federal bureaucracy that advances leftist causes even when a Democrat isn’t in the White House.

What we’re seeing at the DNC this week is an open acknowledgment of this paradigm. Democrats realize they can expose the most unhinged elements of their worldview to the American populace, and vapid Republicans will produce no long-term consequences for it. Their willingness to play the long game has allowed them to push America further away from the constitutional framework created by the Founders into an increasingly unrecognizable dystopia.

There’s only one political force playing to win in America, and it sure as heck isn’t the Republican Party.

The Federalist will be tracking the lies peddled at the four-day event this week as Democrats launch a campaign to maintain the White House.

The RNC and several states have filed lawsuits in recent months against ‘Bidenbucks.’ Is it too late to stop the Democrats’ GOTV machine?

What’s more difficult to understand and accept is how all of this is the inevitable consequence of a liberal worldview that the GOP has already accepted, which means what we’re seeing this week at the DNC we will eventually see at the RNC.

I don’t just mean that the Trump campaign and the Republican Party have softened their opposition to abortion in the post-Dobbs era. It’s not merely that abortion was all but removed from the GOP platform and the party’s previous position in favor of federal abortion limits was abandoned. It’s that Trump and his Republican Party would like very much to stop talking about abortion altogether now, as if the matter is settled and we can move on to more important matters, like the border and inflation.

That’s the same attitude they have about gay marriage, which, like abortion once was, is supposed to be a settled debate, not up for discussion anymore. The choice to take these issues off the table, or try to, is usually framed as pragmatic. We want a big tent, Democrats are radical, Republicans can present their side as reasonable.

But it doesn’t work like that. There’s a reason the Democrats went from talking about how abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare” in the 1990s to celebrating it with free abortions from the back of an RV in 2024. Once you cede the principle of the thing, once you accept the premise that it’s justifiable to kill the unborn under certain circumstances, the list of allowable circumstances will continuously expand.

This is of course true of any moral principle, which is why the left moved with alarming speed from arguing that gay marriage wouldn’t hurt or affect anyone to demanding that everyone actively endorse and celebrate it or face ruin. There is no limiting principle to the argument that consenting adults have a right to have their sexual arrangements officially recognized by the state. That’s why the rationale used in the gay marriage debates of the 2010s is exactly the rationale deployed today in the transgender debate, which will in turn eventually be successfully deployed on behalf of plural marriage, polyamory, and even pedophilia.

The point here is not to sow discord on the right or decry a big tent strategy for the GOP, but merely to point out that when you violate the moral principles on which a social order is based, you don’t get to say when enough is enough. The slippery slope does not cease to be slippery when you think you’ve had enough. You will go all the way down it.

Put another way, the time to say “no” was before the moral principle was violated, not after. Having accepted, for example, that abortion is morally licit in cases where the child is conceived through rape or incest, or that it should be allowed in the first trimester because that seems a reasonable compromise with the left, today’s Republican Party has lost the ability to object to abortion on any grounds whatsoever.

Either an unborn child is a human being, with the same right to life as an infant or a toddler, or it has no rights and can be killed with impunity. Compromising on this is incoherent. It is to admit defeat.

“So, too many people clapping for too long? Is that what it was?” Hemmer said to Tyler while unable to suppress a laugh over his answer. “Are we to buy that?”

Tyler and his cohorts on the left and in the media (but I repeat myself) can spin this whatever way they want to, but we all know why the speech was pushed back until nearly 11:30 pm Eastern Time and it wasn't because of "raucous applause interrupting speaker after speaker."

I mean, think about it. They know Biden's coherency window is between the hours of 10 am to 4 pm per his handlers, so why on earth would they have him on so late at night, well past the time when he, in their view, conceivably could make the most sense? For that matter, why not 7 or 8 pm ET?

It was because they didn't want voters to be reminded of just how bad a president Biden has been, and of all the behind-the-scenes cutthroat machinations Democrat leaders orchestrated for a few weeks in July to force him out of the race.

It's just as simple as that.

Imagine the press reaction if Vance suggested Beshear's daughter should be raped by an illegal released by the Biden administration so he could appreciate the problem of illegal immigration.

For decades, the Moon’s subtle gravitational pull has posed a vexing challenge — atomic clocks on its surface would tick faster than those on Earth by about 56 microseconds per day. This extremely small difference doesn’t seem like much, but it could disrupt the precise timing needed for important activities like spacecraft landings and communicating with Earth.

Now, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a plan for precise timekeeping on the Moon, paving the way for a GPS-like navigation system for lunar exploration. The research, published in The Astronomical Journal, focuses on defining a theoretical framework and mathematical models necessary for creating a lunar coordinate time system.

This innovation is crucial for NASA’s ambitious Artemis program, which aims to establish a sustained human presence on the Moon and may be an important steppingstone for exploration of the cosmos.
