DNC Rejects Palestinian American Speakers, Stirring Intra-Party Tensions Over Gaza Policy
|
Palestinian Americans were denied speaking slots at the Democratic National Convention despite requests from pro-Palestinian delegates.
This decision has caused tension within the Democratic Party, particularly regarding the Biden administration's handling of the war in Gaza.
The Uncommitted National Movement proposed several Palestinian American speakers, but their requests were rejected after negotiations with the Democratic Party.
Protests and sit-ins have been held by uncommitted delegates and their allies outside the convention.
There are concerns that this decision could alienate young and progressive voters, potentially affecting support in the November election. Read More. |
Kamala Unveils $5 Trillion Tax Hike Plan, Targeting Corporations And High Earners
|
Vice President Kamala Harris's economic plan would reportedly increase taxes by $5 trillion over ten years, according to Americans for Tax Reform (ATR).
The plan aims to undo former President Trump's tax cuts, raising the corporate tax rate to 28% from 21%.
Harris proposes increasing capital gains and dividends tax to 44.6%, which would be more than twice China's rate.
The plan includes a 25% minimum tax on unrealized gains for those making over $100 million annually.
Other proposals include increasing taxes on small business owners, imposing a second "death tax," and implementing a global minimum corporate tax rate.
Harris claims these measures would reduce the deficit and ensure billionaires and big corporations "pay their fair share" while maintaining her promise not to raise taxes on those earning under $400,000 per year. Read More. |
Chris Cuomo Says Kamala Is Dodging The Media Because She Is A "Vulnerable" Candidate
|
NewsNation host Chris Cuomo stated that Vice President Kamala Harris is avoiding media interviews one month into her presidential campaign due to perceived risks.
Cuomo suggested that Harris is more vulnerable to media scrutiny than past Democratic nominees like Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton.
He noted that Harris's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) was scheduled two days after the Obamas' speeches to avoid being overshadowed.
Cuomo emphasized that Harris needs to make her case to the public through various media channels and debates after the convention. Read More. |

Trump Shooter Had Several Encrypted Accounts On Messaging Apps In Foreign Countries
|
Rep. Michael Waltz revealed that the man who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump had encrypted accounts in Belgium, New Zealand, and Germany.
Waltz, a member of the House task force investigating the incident, questioned why a 19-year-old health care aide would need encrypted platforms based abroad.
The FBI and Secret Service are investigating the July 13 assassination attempt, with task force members urging for more frequent information releases.
Waltz expressed concern that officials responsible for Trump's rally security plan have not been disciplined yet.
The Secret Service's initial report on rally security was expected to be ready within 60 days of July 22.
The Department of Homeland Security's inspector general is also conducting an investigation into the incident. Read More. |
Sex Offender Fugitive Sought in Arizona After Threatening Trump's Life, Former President Continues Border Visit |
A manhunt is underway in Arizona for Ronald Lee Syvrud, a 66-year-old suspect who threatened to kill former President Donald Trump ahead of a rally in the state.
Syvrud has outstanding warrants in Wisconsin and Arizona, including charges for DUI, hit-and-run, and failing to register as a sex offender.
The threat comes after an assassination attempt on Trump during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania last month.
Trump appeared unaware of the manhunt when asked about it during a press conference but expressed gratitude for the Secret Service's protection during the previous assassination attempt.
The U.S. Secret Service is aware of and tracking the manhunt but referred inquiries to the Cochise County Sheriff's Office.
Despite the threat, Trump is continuing his campaign visit to the southern border in Cochise County, Arizona. Read More. |
Arkansas Abortion Initiative Blocked From Ballot Due By State Supreme Court |
The Arkansas Supreme Court upheld the state's rejection of signature petitions for a pro-abortion ballot initiative, preventing the proposal from appearing on November ballots.
The court ruled 4-3 that Arkansans for Limited Government, the group behind the measure, failed to properly file paid canvasser training certification.
The proposed amendment would have prohibited abortion bans before 20 weeks of gestation and allowed exceptions for rape, incest, and health risks after that point.
The initiative needed 90,704 verified signatures from registered voters across at least 50 counties to qualify for the ballot.
Supporters of the measure argued they followed the law with their documentation and that their petitions were being handled differently than other initiative campaigns.
The state contended that the documentation did not comply because someone from the canvassing company didn't sign it, and it wasn't submitted alongside the petitions. Read More. |
Aurora, CO Faces Juvenile Crime Surge Due To State Restricting Youth Detentions |
Aurora, Colorado, is experiencing a surge in juvenile violent crime following a 2021 state law that reduced juvenile detention capacity.
The law, signed by Democratic Governor Jared Polis, decreased the cap on juvenile detention beds from 327 to 215.
In 2023, Aurora saw a 42% increase in juvenile detentions for violent crimes, with an average of 50 juveniles detained daily for manslaughter and murder-related charges.
The 18th Judicial District Attorney, John Kellner, described the situation as reaching "crisis levels," with a 124% increase in juvenile homicide filings since 2021.
A recent incident involved four teenagers engaging in a shootout with police after stealing a vehicle.
Critics argue that the reduced detention capacity forces judges to release violent juveniles back into the community due to lack of space. Read More. |
Prison Overcrowding In England Spares Child Rapist From Jail |
Rees Newman, a 33-year-old convicted child rapist, avoided jail due to the UK's prison overcrowding crisis.
Newman was given a suspended sentence in December for the historic rape of a girl under 14 but breached the terms by traveling to Egypt without notifying the police.
Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke admitted that Newman would have likely been jailed if not for the current overcrowding situation.
The UK government recently activated emergency measures called "Operation Early Dawn" to ease pressure on prisons, including holding defendants in police cells and releasing some prisoners early.
Newman's lawyer argued that he made a "stupid mistake" and asked the court to consider the current prison overcrowding situation.
The judge fined Newman £2,000, ordered him to pay £420 in costs, and mandated 50 hours of unpaid work. Read More. |
Federal Study Links High Fluoride Levels to Lower Child IQ, Sparking Public Health Debate |
A U.S. government report concludes that fluoride in drinking water at twice the recommended limit is linked to lower IQ in children.
The National Toxicology Program's report marks the first time a federal agency has determined this link "with moderate confidence."
The report found that drinking water containing more than 1.5 milligrams of fluoride per liter is consistently associated with lower IQs in kids, based on studies from several countries.
About 1.9 million Americans are on water systems with naturally occurring fluoride levels of 1.5 milligrams or higher.
The report does not reach conclusions about the risks of lower fluoride levels or its effects on adults, stating more research is needed.
These findings raise questions about protecting affected populations and may lead to policy discussions about fluoride content labeling on beverages. Read More. |
Kamala Harris is officially the Democratic Party’s nominee for president.
So, what now?
Polling suggests she and former President Donald Trump are neck and neck.
Will Kamala receive a post-convention surge in the polls that helps propel her candidacy?
Will she sit for interviews and debate Trump?
A lot of things remain uncertain, but you can guarantee the legacy media will continue letting her get off scot-free.
She was able to hold it together last night while closing out the Democratic National Convention, but she remains an utterly unimpressive and unpopular political figure.
Americans do not like her. They do not trust her. They kicked her to the curb before a single vote was cast in 2020, and they’re aware that she’s played a role in our nation’s rapid decline over the last three and a half years.
But at the end of the day, reality doesn’t matter.
Kamala will continue to gaffe and fail to explain how she will reverse the damage she caused, and the media will continue pushing her along.
