Kamala Harris’ Running Mate is Not a Moderate

Fox News: Vice President Kamala Harris has selected Midwestern governor, Army veteran and former football coach and teacher Tim Walz to be her 2024 running mate after a hurried, intense two-week vetting process. Walz, 60, is a veteran politician who served in the U.S. Congress from 2007 until 2019, when he was elected governor of Minnesota, defeating Republican Jeff Johnson. He was re-elected to a second term in 2022 after fending off a challenge from Republican Scott Jensen. Progressives have praised Walz’s strong support for unions and record of accomplishments as governor, which include codifying abortion rights into the state constitution, enacting universal free school breakfasts and lunches for students, regardless of income, and making Minnesota a refuge for children seeking transgender medical procedures (Fox News). Byron Donalds: Nearly 3/4 of Americans have never heard of Tim Walz so Democrats are deceptively trying to pass-him-off as “moderate.” Don’t let them. The real Tim Walz… Is an apologist for Socialism, Wants sanctuary cities, Wants free healthcare for illegals, Wants driver’s licenses for illegals, Wants free college for illegals, Wants illegals to scale border wall Helped cover-up Biden’s decline, Created a lockdown snitching line, Wants to strip parents of custody if they oppose their child’s sex change… (X). Michael Shellenberger: Tim Walz insists he’s a moderate, but he waited 3 days before deploying the National Guard to quash BLM riots, he created a Covid “snitch line,” and he doubled down drugs and surgeries for kids and teens confused about their gender (X).

Kamala Harris, Gov. Tim Walz Speak at Democrat Rally

CBS: Vice President Kamala Harris and her new VP running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz made their debut as the Democratic ticket at a packed Philadelphia rally, Tuesday, hours after Harris announced he would be her VP pick.

End Wokeness: Governor Tim Walz on Republicans: “These guys are creepy and, yes, just weird as hell.” He put tampons in boys bathrooms (X).

Governor Walz Supported Destructive 2020 Riots in Minneapolis

Katie Pavlich: Harris and Walz have a lot in common, including being complicit in the 2020 riots — the most expensive in American history. When Minneapolis was burning, Governor Waltz was nowhere to be found. And when the rioters and arsonists were arrested, Harris helped bail them out (Townhall). Libs of TikTok: This was Minnesota under Gov Tim Walz (X). Trump War Room: Rioters burned Minneapolis to the ground for days. Tim Walz was nowhere to be found (X). End Wokeness: Minneapolis before and after Governor Tim Walz allowed BLM to destroy it (X).

Kamala Harris Exclaims She is “Very Proud” of Bidenomics

Guy Benson: Late last week, the markets took a dive following the publication of poor economic data within the US manufacturing sector, as well as a much worse than expected July jobs report. Previous months’ jobs numbers were also revised downward, as the United States unemployment rate surged to 4.3 percent. The word ‘recession’ is now very much back in the lexicon, with questions swirling about whether the Fed may need to consider an ’emergency’ rate cut. The markets opened way down yesterday again, with deep anxieties percolating. Stocks go up and down, and markets tend to overreact, but Americans are now staring at a difficult reality: On top of prices that are 20 percent higher across the board under Biden and Harris — fueled by the inflationary spending binge they were warned against — the prospect of a recession now looms, which would pack even more economic pain. Unfortunately, such pain is the inevitable consequence of high inflation. Virtually everything costs a lot more, and now the economy is slowing. This is Bidenomics in action, and the co-pilot for these policies is a big, big fan of them (Townhall). RNC Research: “Bidenomics. Ha ha ha ha! That is called Bidenomics — and we are very proud of Bidenomics!” – Kamala Harris (X). Matt Whitlock: Kamala Harris and Jon Tester spent $42B for rural broadband – but 3 years later not a single home has been connected. They spent $8B for EV charging stations – and have only constructed 7. They spent $5B for electric school buses – and they’ve only made 60 ($830M per bus) (X).

Whistleblower Reveals Lead Agent During Trump Rally Was Inexperienced, No ID’s Checked to Enter Restricted Area

Townhall: What is happening with the Secret Service? The agency is already under intense scrutiny for failing to protect former President Donald Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13… Now, we have two updates in the aftermath of the Trump assassination attempt: whistleblowers allege that the lead site agent was inexperienced and unqualified for the task but has yet to be disciplined for the incident. Second, no IDs were allegedly not checked when issuing credentials into the restricted area (Townhall). Josh Hawley: Whistleblowers tell me the lead site agent in charge of the Butler rally was known to be inexperienced, ineffective and not up to the job – and on the day failed to implement basic security protocols – yet this person is STILL on active duty. Why (X)? Comms director Abigail Jackson: Whistleblowers tell Josh Hawley that the Secret Service at the Butler PA rally DID NOT check IDs when issuing credentials for restricted areas (X).

Kamala Harris Has Still Not Held a Press Conference Since Becoming the Democrat Nominee

Fox News: Vice President Kamala Harris has gone 16 days without holding a formal press conference since becoming the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee as of Tuesday. 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 events, and given informal remarks to reporters at various points, but hasn’t done a formal press conference or wide-ranging interview in the 16 days that have followed (Fox News). Townhall: Can we expect any kind of press conference from VP Harris any time soon? KJP: I can’t speak to that (X). New York Post: “Kamala Harris, our border czar, is asking the American people to make her the next president of the United States,” Vance said during a campaign event. “And yet, for the past 16 days and counting, the American media has been unable to ask her a question (New York Post).

Judge Allows Antisemitism Lawsuit Against Harvard to Continue

Times of Israel: A US judge refuses to dismiss a lawsuit in which Jewish students accuse Harvard University of letting its campus become a bastion of antisemitism. Without ruling on the merits, US District Judge Richard Stearns says the plaintiffs plausibly allege that Harvard’s response to on-campus incidents is inadequate, and that “the facts as pled show that Harvard failed its Jewish students” (Times of Israel). Reuters: The judge also said he was “dubious” that Harvard could claim that some of the pro-Palestinian or anti-Jewish activities was protected by the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment…Students sought an injunction to stop Harvard’s alleged violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bars federal funds recipients from allowing discrimination based on race, religion and national origin (Reuters).

78 Percent of Americans Believe China is a Threat

National Review: An overwhelming majority of Americans consider China to be a threat to U.S. national security and fear Beijing’s ability to influence American politicians, according to new polling data shared exclusively with National Review. A poll taken by the Tyson Group in late July found that Americans believe China is the top threat to national security, and beyond that, U.S. infrastructure, food security, higher education, and the political system. A plurality, 41 percent, of respondents said China is the country that presents the biggest threat to U.S. national security, compared to the 27 percent for Russia and 6 percent for Iran. Overall, 78 percent of the respondents said China is a threat (National Review).

Police forces up and down the UK have said they are prepared for such gatherings… Riots erupted last week in the wake of false reports the boy charged with murdering three young girls in Southport, Merseyside, was an asylum seeker who arrived in the UK by boat (Express). Andy Ngo: Video recorded inside the Clumsy Swan pub shows the “Muslim patrol” group yell at a white man smoking outside before going over and beating him. The group was walking around the eastern part of the city seeking targets to attack (X).

Tropical Storm Debby is Flooding the Southeast

CNN: Debby, which powered ashore Monday as a hurricane, weakened to a tropical storm as it moved slowly through southeastern Georgia. The storm is now back over water, just off the coast near the Georgia-South Carolina border (CNN). NBC: The storm was moving northeast over Georgia, bringing a major threat of flooding and storm surges for the Southeastern U.S. for the next few days. At least six deaths have been confirmed, five in Florida and one in Georgia, including that of a 13-year-old boy from Gainesville, Florida, and that of a 19-year-old from southern Georgia. Potentially historic rainfall is expected, with some areas expected to get 10 to 20 inches and as much as 30 inches in places. The National Hurricane Center warned of “catastrophic flooding” across eastern Georgia, the coastal plain of South Carolina and southeast North Carolina (NBC).
