It turns out that Tim Walz may well have provided indirect support for the Wuhan Institute of Virology - yes, that Wuhan Institute of Virology:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13917247/tim-walz-hormel-institute-china-military-wuhan-lab.html

To be clear, this was not about mixing up dates. If I tell you I was at the World Trade Center on 9/11 but it turns out I was just in New York three months later, that would be an inexcusable lie. The event is the point in a situation like this, not the date. A person doesn't accidentally say they were in Hong Kong for the Tiananmen Square protests when they weren't. Walz has long lied about his background for personal gain, and this is just another example of that.

Past that, this idea that he was taking trips to China to teach students about democracy is absurd. That would be the last place one would take students if they wanted to learn about the topic. Whatever affinity Walz had for China, learning about democracy had nothing to do with it.

This is what Walz does. He lies about things and then tries to pretend to be a lovable goofball who just made an honest mistake. He does not "talk like everybody else." He talks like a pathological liar because he is one. The surest sign of it is how nervous he gets. Listen to how fast he's speaking and how much he stumbles over his talking points. He knows he's not telling the truth.

The Daily Mail printed a second expose about Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff on Wednesday, reporting that in May 2012 Emhoff slapped a woman across the face "so hard she spun around" as the two waited for a taxi while leaving a party in Cannes. Emhoff had been dating the woman for about three months when the public incident occurred. But the piece also revealed additional information about Emhoff's relationship with Najen Naylor, a woman who worked as a teacher at the Emhoff kids' school and directly for the Emhoffs as a nanny. //

We need to know if Emhoff has been involved in any other domestic violence incidents, whether the police were called or not.

And, we need to know what Kamala Harris knew and when, and if she has ever engaged in any intimidation of these women as her career grew. Since Emhoff reportedly told Jane all about what happened with Naylor quite early in their relationship, he likely told Harris early on as well.

At the first commercial break, my #VPDebate focus group says by a 10-3 margin that JD Vance is winning.

That is a big deal since only 5 of them were leaning toward Trump-Vance when the debate began.

Kamala Harris told the media she was going to try to troll former President Donald Trump at the Alabama-Georgia game on Saturday.

But the effort failed miserably and just showed how desperate she was.

Her campaign told the media that they were going to have a small plane fly over Tuscaloosa during the game at Bryant-Denny Stadium with a banner that said, “Trump’s Punting on 2nd Debate.” //

Except it didn't come off; it was a complete failure. It was nowhere to be seen during the game.

According to the New York Times, they were told by the Harris campaign that they couldn't do it because of "weather."

It was typical Kamala — all talk and no result. //

Harris just made herself look silly and desperate. She probably couldn't get all of her ridiculous word salad on a banner. If you're winning, you don't have to play such games to try to get attention.

Then too, she failed to understand the people to whom she was trying to appeal, much as she fails to understand most Americans.

Instead, Trump was wildly cheered when he was introduced at the game.

there was a funny catfight between two people who are election prognosticators, Professor Allan Lichtman and Nate Silver.

Lichtman has a system where he applies true or false questions to 13 questions. if there are six or more false answers, the challenger -- in this case, former President Donald Trump -- would win. But Lichtman has interpreted his keys and he's predicting Kamala Harris will win. //

It’s not just a necklace around her throat (one that she's worn before), it’s an albatross, as the NY Post so aptly put it:

The border crisis has been an albatross around Kamala Harris’ neck — and now her jewelry is too.

They were so intent on trolling Vance, they didn't get that they were suggesting that it was in fact political and throwing the restaurant under the bus. Plus, it was silly because it also brought back up the real story from that visit in August.

It doesn't make Kamala look good, it makes her look petty and mean girl-ish.

"The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects that deficit spending for fiscal 2024 will reach a staggering $1.9 trillion. This comes on top of the $7 trillion added to the federal debt under Biden, bringing us to the highest level of indebtedness in our nation’s history, surpassing the previous high during World War II.

"Biden’s insatiable deficit spending has not only lit the fuse on record inflation but has resulted in the highest interest rate hikes in a quarter century. The cost just to service our national debt has increased by $540 billion, or 153%, since Biden took office. Those net interest expenses represented 9% of federal revenue in 2021 and are projected to double to 18% in 2024 and rise to 23% in 2034.

"Massive federal spending along with failed economic policies under unified Democratic control of government caused inflation to climb to 9.1% in June 2022. Inflation is still sticking at levels well above the Federal Reserve’s target for reducing interest rates.

"In total, prices have risen nearly 20% since Biden became president, forcing families to pay more than $17,000 more per year, or $1,400 per month, for the same goods and services. Sadly, inflation has grown faster than income over the last three years, reducing real wages by 4% since January 2021."

"Op-Ed, Washington Examiner: Biden’s Cruel Economy," Washington Examiner, July 11, 2024.

She finally sat down to take (but not answer) questions, first with CNN and now MSNBC. While we didn't learn much about her policy positions, the American people learned an awful lot about how much of a vapid, empty suit she actually is.

The more she does these things, the more people are going to realize that, which is why she doesn't want to do them.

But she's in a Catch-22 at this point. The more she continues to resist the pressure that is put on her by non-Fox News outlets to put some answers on the record, the worse she's going to look in the eyes of voters who want to know more but who aren't being given the opportunity thanks to her media avoidance strategy, which is still largely in place.

Kamala Harris boxed herself into this corner and now she can't get out of it. It's too delicious for words to watch the unraveling, and the best part about it is that it is Democrat-friendly news organizations like the Times that are bringing it on. More please. //

That's her real thoughts there, all the rest is just "I need to get elected" window dressing. This will not go over well and it invites even more people to come. Listen as she says they "deserve to have a system that works."

Whenever states try to limit illegal immigration, democrats (and their lapdog judges) tell us immigration is under federal jurisdiction, and we have to capitulate to their enabling of foreign invasion.

When President Trump sought to enforce immigration laws, the democrats responded with "sanctuary" cities and states, telling us local jurisdictions were to decide.

The judges let them have it both ways, both ways encouraging invasion, and now we have hundreds of thousands admitted criminals, many convicted or accused murderers and rapists, roaming free and putting us all (except the democrats behind their security barriers) at risk.

In response to a shouted reporter's question, her remarks at the border consisted of this less than 30-second sound bite, a word salad that included something about the agents "rightly need[ing] support to do their job"--something that the Biden/Harris administration has refused to do, and which the border agents union has debunked as false: //

Especially when Zelensky said this:

And now, through a lot of challenges — Ukraine and the United States. And, of course, I want to discuss with you, I think, where we are together. I think we have common view that the war in Ukraine has to be stopped, and Putin can't win, and Ukrainians have to prevail. And I want to discuss with you the details of our plan.

Why would he feel the need to do that? Why would he say something like that? //

But Brandon, he also met with Harris and Biden," some might say.

Well... yeah. Of course, he did. He needed to secure another $8 billion for his country. Biden and Harris both wanted to be seen doing that. Harris especially wanted to be seen doing that. She did laps back and forth on the White House balcony with Zelensky to make it look like she was deep in foreign policy talks.

Does this mean Zelensky has confidence in Harris winning? Not necessarily. Keep in mind, he has to do this. This is the monkey dancing for his banana. He's willing to help Harris craft her illusion for it.

But he didn't have to meet with Trump. He did it because he felt compelled to.

And that should worry Democrats.

Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants with sex offenses and homicide convictions are loose on the streets, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) data provided to lawmakers this week. //

the studio has developed a recognizable, four-step practice to attempt to save face and any business with their derided offerings.

1. Push out decidedly woke content

2. Lash out preemptively at any criticism (even when it is not happening)

3. Tell those possible customers they are not welcomed

4. Blame the audience when the release becomes a failure. //

In a nearly identical fashion, we can see a similar practice occurring with the Harris campaign. As with many of the Disney decisions, it begins with a product for which there is no demand. //

HARRIS: And assistance to state and local governments around transit dollars, and looking holistically at the connection between that and housing, and looking holistically at the incentives we in the federal government can create for local and state governments to actually engage in planning in holistic manner that includes prioritizing affordable housing. //

It's not that she's slurring and speaking gibberish like Joe Biden does. It's that Harris strings together a series of words without any care as to whether she's making a salient point. //

She was asked to explain her "opportunity economy." Instead of providing hard details as to what exactly that is and how she's going to accomplish it, the vice president starts repeating the word "holistic" while talking about how transit dollars connect with housing. //

Nothing she's saying makes any sense. It's just words vomited up by someone who hasn't even bothered to think through even the most basic policy positions.

And that is, in a nutshell, the Harris campaign. There is no there, there. It is a manufactured facade run by a cabal of Democratic Party insiders who have no perception of what life in America is actually like. //

House Speaker Mike Johnson demanded Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recall Ukraine's US ambassador in a sharply worded letter made public Wednesday.

I demand that you immediately fire Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United States, Oksana Markarova.

As you have said, Ukrainians have tried to avoid being “captured by American domestic politics,” and “influencing the choices of the American people” ahead of the November election. Clearly that objective was abandoned this week when Ambassador Markarova organized an event in which you toured an American manufacturing site. //

Support for ending Russia’s war against Ukraine continues to be bipartisan, but our relationship is unnecessarily tested and needlessly tarnished when the candidates at the top of the Republican presidential ticket are targeted in the media by officials in your government.

These incidents cannot be repeated. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, and I trust you will take immediate action. //

Speaker Johnson is correct. The Ukrainian ambassador either knowingly or unknowingly embroiled her president and her nation's struggle for self-determination in a US presidential campaign on the side of the probable loser. Zelensky should take the "L," fire his ambassador, apologize, and get Hillary Clinton to make him a huge red button labeled "RESET." //

I don't think that Zelensky was misled here. He made a conscious choice to criticize the Republican candidates and then allowed himself to be flown at U.S. taxpayer expense to an appearance that was basically a Democrat campaign photo op. He did this on purpose, because he views the Republican ticket as less reliable for his country's interests. He wants Harris because Harris is Biden 2.0, but somehow dumber.

In short, he's willing to saddle Americans with four or eight more years of catastrophic misrule if that's what it takes to protect his country's interests. I respect his view on that, since I prefer to look out for my own country's interests over Ukraine -- but it doesn't mean that I have to accept his choice. I'd rather see Ukraine completely disappear than suffer through another four years of Democrat evil.

Why? Because my family is more important than the entirety of Ukraine.
