I wasn't going to believe it until it was official. It's been in the wind for a few day, but yesterday, after the hooting and hollering at the DNC Convention had largely subsided, JFK Jr. made it official, and suspended his campaign, giving an impassioned speech about how the Democrat party had deserted the values he and father had supported, and become enemies of democracy. He also said he was going to withdraw his name from ballots in the swing states, and leave it on ballots in non-swing states, to help Trump. Stacy McCain, RFK Jr. Endorses Trump. "After Kamala’s nothing-burger convention, which alternated between defaming Trump and celebrating the “joy” of Democrats, the endorsement by RFK Jr. will help focus public attention on the anti-democratic tendencies of the 21st-century Democratic Party. It’s the exact kind of shift Trump needed, at the exact time he needed it most. Smells like . . . #winning." At Althouse, "Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to endorse former president Donald Trump..." "... according to a new court filing in Pennsylvania. The filing surfaced ahead of a planned speech in which Kennedy said he would make an announce about the direction of his campaign." Ward Clarke at RedState, RFK Jr. Exits Presidential Race...and Endorses Donald Trump. Matt Vespa at TownHall, RFK Jr. Drops Out, Endorses Trump. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair, RFK Withdraws, Endorses Trump in Court Filing; UPDATE: RFK Speaks. Charlotte Hazard at JTN, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspends his independent presidential campaign, endorses Trump. AP tries to spin it, RFK Jr. says he is suspending, not ending his campaign. His campaign says he ‘has not endorsed Trump’ Ace, in all cap, italic red font, RFK Jr.: I WILL CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP, "In the name of saving democracy, the Democrat Party has set itself to dismantling it." Sundance at CTH, Robert F Kennedy Suspends His Campaign, Blasts the Democrat Party and Endorses President Trump.

PJM's Chris Queen has the TRANSCRIPT: Every Word of RFK Jr's Epic Anti-Establishment Speech. If you'd like it on YouTube, go here. From NewsMax, RFK Jr. Shreds Democrats for Abandoning Democracy, Trump says RFK Jr. Boosts Efforts to Reach Disaffected Dems and Jamal Holley to Newsmax: Dems Not Same Party RFK Jr. Grew up With. Scott Johnson at Power Line, The Kennedy factor: Against the Dems and the media. Capt. Ed comments "Like Scott, RFK lost me at the "neocons" and fringy health theories, but that's not the main issue. Kennedy made clear what the main issue is -- a Democrat Party bent on authoritarian rule and a media industry bent on helping them achieve it." Sister Toldja sees the Kennedy Family Gets Deservedly Mocked After Statement on RFK Jr. Suspending Campaign and Endorsing Trump. Greg Price@greg_price11, "Kennedys that leave women to drown in rivers are apparently not as bad to the family as Kennedys that endorse Donald Trump."

If he is not, then who is?" Well, she was the money. wretchardthecat@wretchardthecat, "One of the things RFK incidentally revealed was that during the period when Trump was supposedly paralyzed by Harris he was busy flanking the DNC." Dan Bongino@dbongino "When a lifelong Democrat, from an iconic Democrat family, who tried to run as a Democrat, and who’s running mate was a Democrat, warns you about the dangers of voting for the Democrat in this election, you should probably listen." Last I offer this podcast with Bret Weinstein. I found it quite educational: RFK Jr. Drops Out & Endorses Trump, Kamala's DNC Speech & Monkey Pox w/ Bret Weinstein. Long, but worth it.One day you wash up on the beach, wet and naked. Another day you wash back out. In between, the scenery changes constantly.

Flotsam and Jetsam - RFK Jr. Drops Out, Endorses Trump
On the expiring DNC convention, Paula Bolyard at PJM, finds The Nightmare Has Come Full Circle.

Ed comments "Ruy has very detailed data from the crosstabs of three big national media polls, and the numbers are veeeerrrrrry interesting. Harris still underperforms Biden 2020 in the working-class categories, and the hard Left turn of the party during the convention is not going to make them any happier. And since Ruy comes at this from the center-Left, the analysis is even more intriguing."
Thomas Sowell at WSJ warns Republicans Better Get on the Ball "They haven’t made the case against Harris. The clock is ticking." Capt. Ed (at home), Trump Rebuttals: Why Doesn't Kamala Chart Her 'New' Course Now? and Georgia On Their Minds: Trump, Kemp Bury the Hatchet Am Con, Trump Pledges Foreign Policy Accountability, Rankling DC "State of the Union: Trump understands accountability.

Hollywood in Toto adds Why Trump’s Theo Von Interview Should Scare Team Harris "Rebel comic humanizes former president, reaches invaluable independents."
From the Center Square an Op-Ed: People – not corrupt politicians – should decide elections. Capt. Ed comments "True, but it's tough to get that message across in the same cycle where Democrats push their nominee off the ballot for president and anoint a replacement without a single vote being cast." At Fox, Ohio state secretary says 100 non-US citizens voted in recent elections, begins process to prosecute. "Long-running audit in Ohio found hundreds of nonresidents registered to vote." Hat Hair's Jazz Shaw is happy that SCOTUS Approves Arizona Law Requiring Voter ID.
Capt. Ed, Kamala Speech Burdened Us By What She Has Been. From TNP, Kamala’s Speech Was BORING. But It Did Contain Some Dark, Far-Left Dog Whistles…. Brianna Lyman at Da Fed, More Than 70 Percent Of Democrat Voters Don’t Know Kamala’s Policy Positions. NRO, Kamala Harris, a Political Show about Nothing.

But the final speaker of the night, Harris, was followed by 100,000 balloons..." "From "BeyoncĂ© at the DNC? It wasn’t to Bey. Speculation was rampant that the 'Freedom' singer would make a surprise appearance. She never materialized"" Duane Patterson at Hat Hair, No New Oprah Car, No Beyonce Concert, Democrats Are Stuck with Kamala. Insty, IT’S LIES ALL THE WAY DOWN:
From the Hollywood Reporter, Would a Taylor Swift Endorsement Actually Impact the Presidential Race? "With supporters for both Trump and Harris angling for the pop superstar's vote of confidence, analysts assess the potential effect of such a statement: "It could be pivotal." Capt. Ed, "I tend to think it wouldn't; celebrity endorsements are good for fundraising but probably mean little to voters. If any celebrity did have that kind of impact, though, it might be Swift."
Insty, I MEAN, WE KNEW, BUT STILL: Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok "WOW. Watch Gavin Newsom basically admit that there was a coup to replace Joe Biden with Kamala.

From NRO, Secret Service Employees Placed on Administrative Leave after Trump Assassination Attempt. But, were they the right ones? John Sexton, Secret Service Agents Placed on Leave Over Trump Assassination Attempt. Sauron's Eye, Secret Service places at least 5 agents on leave in Trump assassination attempt probe. Capt. Ed comments "It's been almost six weeks since the shooting, and these agents are only now being placed on leave? It suggests that the investigators have found new reasons to impose some sort of restriction on their employment. Had they been suspended the following Monday, it might have looked procedural. This looks like ... something else." 'Becca Downs at TownHall, Whistleblower Reveals Shocking Detail About Butler, PA Trump Rally. "As he revealed in a letter sent to Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe, a whistleblower "alleges that officials at Secret Service headquarters encouraged agents in charge of the trip not to request any additional security assets in its formal manpower request--effectively denying these assets through informal means." Not only is such information particularly damning to the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) and how they have been handling the attempt on Trump's life, it also contradicts what Rowe previously told Congress."
Twitchy, After 'Crossfire Hurricane', Trump Declines to Take Early Intelligence Briefings Yashar Ali@yashar "Former President Trump tells the Daily Mail he does not want to receive the intelligence briefings that are normally offered to major party nominees, as he doesn’t want to be accused of leaking any information he learns during those briefings." Chuck Ross@ChuckRossDC, "Another *very* important thing to note — when FBI gave Trump one of these briefings in August 2016, they sent a Crossfire Hurricane investigator into the meeting to collect evidence on Trump." Paul Bedard at WaEx, Most ‘swamp’ managers say voters don’t matter "In the latest sign of the disconnect between Washington’s “swamp” and the rest of the country, 54% of federal government managers would defy voters to do what they want, according to a new Napolitan Institute survey conducted by Scott Rasmussen and shared with Secrets."

Suzy Weiss at Freep, issues A Reality Check for Woke Jews "Joshua Leifer leads an anti-Zionist organization. But he was still denied entry to his own book launch in Brooklyn." Capt.

Appointed by Barack Obama. Jonathan Turley is concerned that JK
Rowling Reportedly Sued by Olympic Boxer Over Gender Criticism. “For the record, bombarding me with pictures of athletic women to ‘teach’ me that women don’t all look like Barbie is like spamming me with pics of differently-shaped potatoes to prove rocks are edible.
