Flotsam and Jetsam - Do You Want Fries With That?

In an amazing political stunt designed to thumb his nose at Kamala Harris over her unproven claims to have worked at a McDonalds as a wee lass, Donald Trump commandeered a McDonalds restaurant in Pennsylvania, worked the fryer and the takeout window. NYPo, Trump works fry cooker at McDonald’s — and MAGA faithful line up to order: ‘I’ll take whatever he gives me’. JTN.

Breibart highlights a new Poll showing Donald Trump Leading Kamala Harris In 5 Swing States, 3 Points Nationally. Matt Margolis at PJM sees 2020’s Most Accurate Pollster Released a New Poll... And It Is Weird "AtlasIntel, known for its accurate national polling in 2020, recently released a new set of numbers for the 2024 race. And boy, are they a doozy. According to the poll, Donald Trump is leading Kamala Harris nationally by three points, with Trump at 50.7% and Harris at 47.6% with a full field. . . . However, that’s not what their swing state polling shows. In fact, when you look closer at the state-by-state results, there are some serious questions about the reliability of these numbers. The main issue lies in the disconnect between Trump’s national lead and the battleground state data. If Trump truly has a two- to three-point edge across the country, he should be performing significantly better in swing states than this poll suggests."

At Althouse, "We expect our would-be tyrants to command a certain gravitas, to be earnest, play it straight.

Can a man this ridiculous really pose an existential threat to our democracy?..."

At Althouse, The Washington Post Editorial Board pushes Kamala Harris to pay attention to the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States. "So here's what cued up the issue. There's an article in The Atlantic, published a week ago: "America Is Suffering an Identity Crisis/In two years, the U.S. will mark its 250th birthday, and the left doesn’t seem to care—giving up on America’s symbols and its very meaning." The left doesn't seem to care. But if Trump is elected he will preside over the occasion, and he certainly seems to care. I can now understand the WaPo editors' decision to forefront this issue. There's a horror of the Donald Trump Birthday of America Extravaganza and a chilling realization that his Make-America-Great-Again theme fits enragingly perfectly with the occasion. Quick! Present a left-wing alternative vision!"
