Maryland, My Maryland

From the Free Bacon, Wes Moore Says the KKK Chased His Great-Grandfather Out of South Carolina. Historical Records Tell a Different Story. "Moore's great-grandfather preached at a South Carolina church held in high regard by the white community, before he was transferred to Jamaica to succeed a prominent pastor who had unexpectedly died."

Maryland governor Wes Moore, who is widely expected to seek the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, has a powerful family story of racial injustice that he repeatedly tells during public speeches: His grandfather, as a small boy, fled 1920s Charleston with his family in the dead of night after his father—a prominent black minister and Moore's great-grandfather—angered the Ku Klux Klan with sermons condemning racism. Narrowly escaping a lynching, the family took refuge in Jamaica. But Moore's grandfather, just six years old at the time, vowed to return to America, where he eventually raised a grandson who made history in 2022 by becoming Maryland's first black governor.

It's a story straight out of Hollywood, and it was a central feature of Moore's 2022 campaign stump speech, in which he described a version of American patriotism wherein "loving your country does not mean lying about its history." Moore first told the tale of his exiled grandfather in a 2014 memoir and has since retold it countless times as he seeks to reclaim patriotism for the Democratic Party and to contextualize his own unlikely rise to power.

But there's a problem with Moore's story: It's flatly contradicted by historical records and is almost certainly false.

Moore's great-grandfather on his mother's side, the Rev. Josiah Johnson Thomas, did preach in the 1920s at a church in Pineville, S.C., about 65 miles north of Charleston. But historical records housed at the archives of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of South Carolina undercut the three main elements of Moore's story—that Thomas suddenly fled the country in secret, that he was targeted by the Ku Klux Klan, and that he was a prominent preacher who spoke from the pulpit against racism.

Detailed church archival records, as well as contemporary newspaper coverage, indicate that Thomas, a Jamaica native, on Dec. 13, 1924, made an orderly and public transfer from South Carolina to the island of his birth, where he was appointed to succeed a prominent Jamaican pastor who had died unexpectedly a week earlier, on Dec. 6, 1924. Amid the copious documentation of the life and career of Moore's great-grandfather, there is no mention of trouble with the Klan, which operated openly in 1920s South Carolina but never had a chapter operating out of Pineville, according to Virginia Commonwealth University's Mapping of the Second Ku Klux Klan.

Many families tell larger-than-life stories about their forebears that wouldn't hold up to scrutiny. But your typical family-tree fabulist isn't preparing to run for president. And Moore's fantastical tale of his great-grandfather's escape from the Ku Klux Klan to exile to Jamaica adds yet another asterisk to his remarkably inflated résumé—about which the press have asked him very little.

Moore falsely claimed that he was born and grew up in Baltimore, which he did not; that he was inducted into the Maryland College Football Hall of Fame, an organization that doesn't exist; that he received a Bronze Star for his service in Afghanistan, which he had not; that in 2006 he was considered a foremost expert on radical Islam based on his graduate thesis, which he never submitted to Oxford University's library and can no longer locate; that he was a doctoral candidate at Oxford in 2006, a claim he has no documentation to support and on which Oxford refuses to comment; and that he had "a difficult childhood in the Bronx and Baltimore" despite attending New York City's elite, private Riverdale Country School—where John F. Kennedy went to school—as a child and not living in Baltimore until college, when he attended Johns Hopkins University, another elite private school.

But you're racist if you question the stories.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Trump Assassination Attempts, Round Two

So, yeah, we're still talking about the second attempt on Donald Trump's life in this election season. Have we really come to this? AP, Trump was the subject of an apparent assassination attempt at his Florida golf club, the FBI says. Sundance at CTH, UPDATE – President Trump is OKAY – FBI: “Attempted Assassination” Shots Fired Near President Trump at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach and Sheriff, Secret Service and FBI Provide Details on Second “Assassination Attempt” of President Trump. "I would note the nervousness of the FBI agent in charge." Nick Arama at RedState, Press Conference Reveals Key Details in Second Trump Assassination Attempt. Insty, REPORT: Shots fired near Donald Trump as he leaves his Florida golf club. "UPDATE: An account bearing the name of Ryan Routh was suspended early this evening by Twitter, but note this tweet from March 4th, 2020. Dan Chaitin at Da Wire has the first report I know of that the shooter actually fired shots, Palm Beach Shooter Was Targeting Trump, Exchanged Gunfire With Secret Service. Althouse, "Donald Trump has survived 'what appears to be an assassination attempt' after shots were fired at one of his golf courses in Florida, the FBI has said...."  Live Updates at CNN, September 15, 2024: Apparent Trump assassination attempt. 

Joseph Weber at JTN, What is known about alleged shooter in foiled Trump assassination attempt. At Twitchy, Second Trump Shooter Has Been Identified (And We THINK We Have His Socials). From Fox, Suspect 'Ryan Routh' in custody following second assassination attempt on Trump at Florida golf club. Insty, WELL, OKAY THEN: Daily Mail US@DailyMail, "Son of alleged would-be assassin says his dad hates Trump like 'all reasonable people' but he's never owned a gun and wouldn't do anything bats*** crazy https://trib.al/FM9DTyC." "Democrats and the media fomented that hatred, even while inveighing against “hate speech,” “misinformation,” and “stochastic terrorism.”"

NewsWeek, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden Respond to Shooting Near Donald Trump  "Trump wrote in a statement released by his campaign on Sunday, "I AM SAFE AND WELL! Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER! I will always love you for supporting me. Unity. Peace. Make America Great Again."   At PJM, Dan Bongino Predicted Another Assassination Attempt on Trump Would Happen. Twitchy, In the Wake of Second Attempted Trump Shooting, a Video Emerges of Kamala Making a Sick Joke

And, YOU OWN THIS: Kamala Harris Gets WRECKED Following Second Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump. End Wokeness@EndWokeness, "You called him a threat to democracy and a day 1 dictator. You own this." Victor Davis Hanson VDHanson, "The Deadly Get Trump Climate Continues…. Just two months after the failed Trump assassination attempt of one Thomas Matthew Crooks, we witnessed today yet another foiled one by Ryan Wesley Routh—a would-be assassin and anti-Trump/radical pro-Ukraine War social media addict. Somehow he too once again got within relatively easy shooting range of ex-President Trump. Is there a continued pattern here of lax Trump Secret Service protection, coupled with a general social media and televised climate that equates Trump with Hitler and lowers the bar of the assassination? . . ." At What, Dr. Rollergator, PhD explains Stochastic Terrorism - A game of rhetorical asymmetry "The history and function of the increasingly common phrase explained." Matt Vespa at TownHall, The Liberal Media Reaction to This Second Trump Assassination Attempt Is What You'd Expect. Curtis Houck@CurtisHouck, "WATCH: MSNBC's Alex Witt argues *the Trump campaign* needs to turn down the rhetoric now that Donald Trump has been shot at for the second time in three months. "Do you expect there to be calls from within the Trump campaign to [tone it down]?" Elise Jordan replies she hopes Trump makes this "a unity-type" inflection point, but fears he won't do it." Rachel Vindman@natsechobbyist, "No ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon."

Election Wizard@ElectionWiz, "BREAKING — Erik Prince, founder of the private security firm Blackwater, calls on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to immediately assume control of the investigation into the second Trump assassination attempt. He adds, “The Feds have dropped the ball thoroughly on Butler PA. Time for Florida to save the day…” Paula Bolyard at PJM, DeSantis Takes Matters Into His Own Hands on Assassination Attempt.

And, of course, we're still not done with fallout from the July 13th attempt. Nick Arama at RedState, Bombshell Report: Cover-Up and Disturbing Info About Agent in Charge During Assassination Attempt. "Now, there's another bombshell that was just delivered from Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) on Jesse Watters' show. Hawley has been in contact with whistleblowers, and they told him that the lead Secret Service agent who had been in charge that day in Butler, Pennsylvania, failed one or more of her training exams and was "known not to be a top quality agent."" I hope she's assigned to Harris' detail after the election.

Benny Johnson@bennyjohnson, "BREAKING: ABC News Whistleblower Affidavit alleging that Kamala Harris was given an unfair advantage in her debate with Donald Trump has been released H/T
@DocNetyoutube" Liz Stauffer at WaEx, First the pundits reacted to the debate. Then the people weighed in. Scott Pinsker at PJM, ABC News Is Perplexed: Why Isn’t Kamala Harris Getting a Post-Debate Bounce? The Answer Is… "the obvious implication: The media must’ve helped Kamala that much… because she needed the help. Clearly, she can’t do it on her own." Althouse, "Vote preferences haven't moved meaningfully.... Each is within a percentage point of its pre-debate level in ABC/Ipsos polling." "I'm reading "Harris seen as debate winner while maintaining slight lead over Trump: POLL/Taylor Swift's endorsement of Harris shows little impact, the poll found" (ABC News)." At Hat Hair, Skeptical Face On: Harris Gains Bigly In Latest Iowa Poll  Sundance, Compare and Contrast – Trump and Harris Both Asked the Exact Same Question. Sarah Arnold at TownHall thinks Trump Had the Perfect Response to People Saying He Was 'Angry' at the Debate “'I was angry, and yes, I am angry because she allowed 21 million illegal aliens invading our communities. Many of them are criminals,” he said. “I’m angry about Venezuelan gangs taking over Aurora, Colorado, and illegal Haitian migrants taking over Springfield, Ohio. I’m angry about young American girls being raped and sodomized by savage criminal aliens. I’m angry about rampant inflation destroying our Middle Class—and the American people are angry too!” At Am Great Roger Kimball  On Truth and Lie in an Extramoral Sense. "The debate last week on ABC was, from one point of view, a dog’s breakfast, but, from another, it was a mesmerizing exercise in vertiginous, pseudo-Nietzschean legerdemain."  Reuters whines Voters narrowly support Trump's debate tariff pitch, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds. It's only "narrowly" when it goes Republican's way. NewsMax, Voters Narrowly Support Trump's Tariff Pitch, Reuters/Ipsos Poll Finds. Da Mail, J.D.

Twitchy, FATALITY! JD Vance Takes ZERO Prisoners OWNING Dana Bash During Back and Forth on Springfield, OH (Watch). Matt Vespa notes CNN Actually Did Its Job and Slammed Kamala for Lying About Trump. CNN, Fact check: Harris campaign social media account has repeatedly deceived with misleading edits and captions. Collin Rugg@CollinRugg, "NEW: Kamala Harris has completely changed her position on the 2nd Amendment in less than 72 hours. During the debate on Tuesday, Kamala Harris blasted Trump after he said she wanted to take people's firearms away. Harris told Trump to "stop lying" and said she wasn't going to take "anybody's" firearms away. Less than 72 hours later during an interview with ABC News, Harris revealed she *does* support taking people's firearms away, announcing her plan for an "assault weapon" ban. Harris has also voiced her support for mandatory buybacks in the past."

Fox, Cats and dogs aside, Biden-Harris unleashed disaster on Springfield. "Diabolically mismanaged refugee plan renders hometown unrecognizable to longtime residents." Insty, MATT VESPA: The Left Is Powerless in Stopping the Haitians Eating Pets Story…And It’s Amazing to Watch. "I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, though in this instance, it’s not a statement regarding some appalling examples of liberal media bias. For the Ohio Haitians ‘eating the pets’ story, it’s pure entertainment, maybe a touch of schadenfreude: the liberal media is being tortured in their attempt to neutralize the story. Contrary to the establishment press, this story hasn’t been debunked. There’s no way within 48-72 hours that authorities can verify dogs and cats are not being eaten by the tens of thousands of Haitians in Springfield, Ohio. . . . Christopher Rufo goes in search of: The Cat Eaters of Ohio. "So, is there any truth to the charge? We have conducted an exclusive investigation that reveals that, yes, in fact, some migrants in Ohio appear to have been “eating the cats,” though not exactly in the manner that Trump described. . . Related: Trump Promises Mass Deportation of Springfield, Ohio Immigrants If Elected. Christopher F. Rufo@realchrisrufo, "CBS News has published a response to the “Cat Eaters of Ohio” story. It’s a supremely dishonest and completely partisan report, but let’s break it down, to show exactly how the establishment media maintains its lines of propaganda. . . . What did CBS not do? Journalism. The network, which has massive resources, did not send a reporter to the scene, interview the eyewitness, interview the neighbors, investigate the visual evidence, conduct background research, or provide a detailed analysis. They simply adopted “don’t believe your lying eyes” as their standard and repeated an empty, evidence-free statement from a partisan political figure." At Da Caller, ‘Criminally Liable’: Springfield Residents Know Exactly Who To Blame For Migrant Crisis Hitting Their Town. OTP, Dominican Illegal Alien Charged With Murdering Family Of 4 In New York. At Florida's Voice, Brevard Sheriff Ivey: Illegal migrant hit deputy head-on in DUI incident – ‘close the damn border’. At Da Maine Wire, Catholic Charities Maine Plans to Resettle 150 Refugees in 100-Mile Radius Around Bangor "Penobscot County is poised to receive an estimated 150 refugees over the next fiscal year."

At Althouse, "[Trump] would fire the absolute wrong person.... [He] had no idea what was going on, and he would just make something up." ""He just had to choose a name... And maybe that was the only name he remembered of the people sitting around.... Our job then was to reverse engineer the show and to make him not look like a complete moron.... to make the person who he fired look not as good." Said Jonathon Braun, who was a producer on "The Apprentice" (and on "Survivor"), quoted in "The Star-Making Machine That Created ‘Donald Trump’/The inside story of how the producers of 'The Apprentice' crafted a TV version of Mr. Trump — measured, thoughtful and endlessly wealthy — that ultimately fueled his path to the White House" (NYT). Isn't selective editing like that the norm in these competitive reality shows?"

At WaEx, Luna accuses Democratic opponent of allowing supporters to dox and threaten her. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. (R-FL) is accusing her congressional opponent, Whitney Fox, of allowing her supporters “to publicly dox, coordinate, and solicit individuals to send threatening packages to my home address.” The congresswoman noted what appears to be a Facebook comment that reads: “If she is ‘hiding,’ I know where she lives if anyone is interested in sending her a love letter or……something. She dwells riiiiiight around the corner.” Luna has reported the harassment to local authorities and the FBI.
 
Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh "To be clear - this is not only a threat to democracy but is the sort of thing to be expected in 3rd world countries, not a technologically advanced and wealthy Republic. We need to get back to election DAY not election WEEK." Quote Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh, "NEW YORK TIMES: "It is becoming increasingly likely that there will be no clear and immediate winner on election night and that early returns could give a false impression of who will ultimately prevail." "If a winner is not declared on election night, it will not necessarily . . . " Plenty of time to screw with the vote. Beege Welborn at Hat Hair comments "Reject the pre-planned excuses out of hand. If FL, the third largest state in the union, can get it all done in a couple of hours, there is ZERO excuse for anyone else. Git 'er done."

From the Free Bacon, Most Voters Believe in American Dream But Find It Less Attainable, Citing High Housing Prices, Poll Shows. "Housing prices have jumped more than 30 percent under Biden-Harris admin." At WaEx, The data show voters are not better off under Harris. Fox, Harris mocked online for breaking out another 'new accent' at Congressional Black Caucus event. "X users mock Kamala Harris' 'new accent' at Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's Phoenix Awards Dinner." Francis Menton at the Manhattan Contrarian wonders Where Does Kamala Stand?, wherever she needs to to get elected.

Flotsam and Jetsam - The Race is On

At Da Caller, Trump Pulls Ahead Of Harris In Major National Poll, New York Times/Siena College poll, 48/47%. 'Bonchie' at RedState sees Hilarious Cope Flows Like Fine Wine After Times Poll Shows Trump Beating Harris. Matt Margolis at PJM, The New York Times Writes Eulogy for Kamala's Momentum.

Miller@redsteeze "She has the same problem Biden had but for different reasons and they know it, which is they have to put her out there more, but can't put her out there more", Quote Kyle Smith@rkylesmith  "A couple more polls like this one and Dem insiders are gonna start turning up in Politico saying “maybe we shoulda had an actual primary instead of a coronation?” Then the inevitable “staffers are being fired” story." Althouse, "A near majority of voters say Mr. Trump is 'not too far' to the left or right on the issues, while only around one-third say he’s 'too far to the right.'" ""Nearly half of voters, in contrast, say Ms. Harris is too far to the left; only 41 percent say she’s 'not too far either way.' This is one of Mr. Trump’s overlooked advantages. . . Writes Nate Cohn in "New Poll Suggests Harris’s Support Has Stalled After a Euphoric August," and "In February 2023, the New York Times published an article titled, 'Kamala Harris Is Trying to Define Her Vice Presidency.

"Based on her brief remarks about foreign policy in her acceptance speech, we know Harris favors a Palestinian state (“self-determination” for the Palestinian people) and a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, i.e., Israel stopping its offensive in Gaza. We know she favors continuing to provide military aid to Ukraine. She said nothing about Taiwan, and next to nothing about China.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Will She Debate? Kamala Steps in it with Gold Star Families

Matt Margolis at PJM thinks It Looks Like Kamala Is About To Chicken Out of Debating Trump. She's back to demanding open mics so she can try to shame him for interrupting, like she did Pence.

Beege Welborn adds "She and everyone else knows - if she even makes it to a debate - that there won't be a single moment of Kamala speaking lucidly about any "plan" or policy. All she can hope for is 3-5 second snips of chastizing (sic) Trump like this."

Sarah Arnold at TownHall thinks That CNN Interview Did No Favors for Harris "There’s a reason Vice President Kamala Harris avoids the press unless she has a teleprompter and script in front of her."  WaEx's Paul Bedard sees Harris momentum stalls, CNN talk didn’t help. Megyn Kelly, Megyn Kelly Analyzes CNN's Softball Interview of Kamala Harris and "White Blankie" Tim Walz


Matt Vespa at TownHall, How Bill Maher Described Kamala Harris' CNN Interview Is Pretty Accurate. Nick Arama at RedState, Bill Maher Torches Optics of Kamala Interview, Mocks Her, and Notes Big Voter Problem She Faces. “It looked like when your dad goes with the young woman to buy a car when dad comes along,” Christian Collins@CollinsforTX, "9 short months ago, Kamala Harris said, “I’m not lying,” while defending Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities. It turns out she was lying. If Dana Bash is a real journalist, she must call Kamala out for covering up Biden's decline from the start." From the Free Bacon, After 5 Weeks With No Interviews, Team Harris Eyes Sitdown With Kamala Donor Gayle King, "CBS News host, who said Harris gave her 'goosebumps,' contributed $10k to Dem nominee's 2010 AG campaign." Da Fetched, Kamala Harris Gives Biden a Run for His Money with Embarrassing Gaffe. Misty Severt at JTN reports Trump blasts Kamala Harris as a 'defective person' following CNN interview. At Da Mail, Donald Trump turns the air blue while blasting Kamala at a rally in Pennsylvania ... hours after video of Harris dropping F-bomb was shared. 'If you look at Kamala, and you look at what she's done to... every place she's touched has turned to shit. Every single place she's touched.' From WaEx, Gabbard advises Trump to go after Harris’s ‘character’ during debate. 

Twitchy, This Is Low, Even for HER: Kamala Harris Tries Dunking on Trump Over Arlington, Gets WRECKED by Reality and WATCH: Kamala Messed Up BIG TIME! Gold Star Families Respond to Harris' Shameful Attack. Bonchie @bonchieredstate "Before today, the Abbey Gate Gold Star families hadn't spoken out against Kamala Harris. You could feel that there was an unspoken boundary put in place, and all Harris had to do was keep her mouth shut. She just couldn't do it, and now she'll reap the whirlwind." From NewsBusters, 'One Of The Lowest Moments That I've Seen': PBS Attacks Trump's Arlington Visit. At Hat Hair, Caskets, Arlington and a Grieving Widow in a Biden Attack on Trump. Jerry Dunleavy IV@JerryDunleavy, "The Biden-Harris campaign just two months ago used footage & images (some up-close) of U.S. military cemetery graves, of American flag-draped caskets, of gravestones of U.S. troops, & of a grieving woman on an American flag-draped casket to attack Trump."
Jazz Shaw, Kamala: Ban Fracking? Me? No Way! Not while Pennsylvania is in play! Breitbart cites CNN Fact-Checker Daniel Dale: Harris Was Not Accurate on Fracking Comments. From Da Wire, Kamala Doubles Down On Pushing Price Controls. The only way Dems know how to tame inflation.

From Breitbart, Tim Walz’s Brother: He’s ‘Not the Type of Character You Want Making Decisions About Your Future’ “We’ve just become a third-world banana republic.”  WaPoo's Kathleen Parker admits Tim Walz isn’t exactly what he seems, "How America’s new wonder dad has gilded his record for political gain." Harold Hutchinson at Da Caller features Bill Maher Panning Walz, Harris For ‘Insulting My Intelligence’ During CNN Interview:  ‘You’re A Huge Liar’. Dustin Grage@GrageDustin, "I still can’t get over the fact Ron DeSantis in his first press conference after Tim Walz became the VP pick—referred to him as “This Waltz from Minnesota.” Meanwhile Walz has obsessed over Ron DeSantis and Florida for the past four years." The Babylon Bee quips Tim Walz Promises To Ensure All Violent Migrant Gangs Have Access To Free Tampons. 

Greg Price@greg_price11, "Jared Polis two days ago: Armed gang members taking over an apartment complex is a figment of your “imagination” Today: “We are taking this seriously.” Amazing how quickly that changed" From the Center Square, Canada officials express alarm about terrorism threats, Americans about impact on US "Nearly 1,100 known, suspected terrorists apprehended at northern border, equivalent to U.S. Army battalion."  Paul Bedard, Security now top border concern as ‘many’ terrorists test Harris. From Fox, Pelosi praises CA bill giving illegal migrants money to buy homes: 'American dream' 'available to more people' "The top Democrat was told HBO's Bill Maher: "What I would like to do is move them to documented.'"

Da Caller, Trump Has Had Years To Chip Away At A Key Dem Voting Bloc. Can Harris Make Up For Lost Time? Hispanics? NYPo, Kamala Harris tied with Green Party candidate Jill Stein among Muslim voters, damning poll reveals. WaPoo worries In N.C., some Black voters are uneasy with Harris’s abortion rights focus. "Democrats worry that socially conservative Black voters in the South are wary of Harris’s outspoken support for reproductive freedom." Abortion uber alles. The Cnservative Brief recounts how a Vietnamese Eatery Explodes When Trump Walks In: ‘We Need You!’.

At Da Caller, Mary Rooke warns about How Liberal Pollsters Are Recreating The 2016 Wave Of Silent Trump Voters. Charlotte Hazard at JTN, Trump film 'The Apprentice' set for US premiere Saturday, Trump team calls it election interference, "Trump communications director Steven Cheung called the film’s release “election interference by Hollywood elites right before November,” and said that it is "pure malicious defamation."" Breitbart, Trump Biopic ‘The Apprentice’ Set for U.S. Release Less Than a Month Before Election. Paul Bedard has the Rogues gallery of Trump enemies: Cheney, Pelosi, Zuckerberg. From Fox, Conservative beer company's can showcasing Trump's reaction to being shot brings in $1 million: 'FIGHT'.

 Althouse finds "Mr. Trump had instructed his young sidekick to fight forcefully through those initial attacks, and later said Mr. Vance’s execution exceeded his expectations..." ""... according to three allies who insisted on anonymity to discuss private conversations. . . . From "JD Vance’s Combative Style Confounds Democrats but Pleases Trump/Over dozens of events and more than 70 interviews, Mr. Vance’s performances as Donald Trump’s attack dog have endeared him to his boss, even if America broadly is less enthusiastic" (NYT)." From the Guardian, ‘Dangerous and un-American’: new recording of JD Vance’s dark vision of women and immigration "Trump’s running mate rants against feminism, immigrants and Ilhan Omar in a newly unearthed podcast from 2021." Enough! I already like him! From the Star, Sen. JD Vance Says End of Trump-Kemp Feud, RFK Jr. Endorsement Prove Republicans Now ‘Big Tent’ Party.

Chills. . . . " From LI's Leslie Eastman, After RFK Jr. Attacks Ultra Processed Foods, Time Magazine Publishes a Defense. "The timing of the article is shameful, and is completely devoid of science…settled or otherwise."

Hat Hair's Jazz Shaw is amused at How Democrats Wrote Sex Workers Out of Their Platform. "In 2020, the party's platform prominently included a vow to "protect the lives of sex workers," but in the 2024 edition, that language mysteriously vanished. And some of the sex workers in question claim that they are "terrified.""  You'd think Kamala would want to support her co-workers. Sarah Arnold, Joe Rogan Sums Up Democrat Elites In Brutal Takedown. “[Oprah] is up there talking about income inequality like, 'Hey lady, you're rich as f***'... how is that equal?” Rogan said. . . . Also, when Michelle Obama was saying, you know, I think she was saying her mother or grandmother was always suspicious of people who took more than they needed, like, you are worth so much money,” Rogan continued. “That’s so crazy. You did it on a civil servant’s salary, which is insane."

Da Caller, Video Shows Police Take Down Man Allegedly Attempting To Breach Trump Rally’s Media Area. "Authorities pulled the individual to the ground shortly after he allegedly attempted to climb the side of a media riser, the video shows. Law enforcement officials eventually subdued the man with a Taser, according to The Associated Press. As police dragged the man away, the crowd erupted enthusiastically with cheers and applause, the video shows."

Kaelen Deese at WaEx reports Trump’s $563 million in civil penalties could come due before year’s end. "Although collections could begin on his civil penalties as soon as later this year, legal experts say the appeals over these fees are likely to continue at least until after the Nov. 5 election, as Trump still has the ability to appeal an unfavorable ruling to the New York Court of Appeals, the state’s highest court." Steve Richards at JTN, Bannon’s lawyers want a hearing on alleged government misconduct in case, judge has yet to grant it. "The accusations against the prosecutors were detailed in several court filings over a year ago and Bannon had previously invoked them in a failed attempt to have the charges against him dismissed." At OTP, Rudy Giuliani’s Assets Could Be Seized In Georgia Election Case. We need a plan going forward to bankrupt prominent Democrats with legal fees.

Check the tightness of your tin-foil hats for Sundance at CTH's Context for FBI Discussion. "There is no way for Antifa to operate as a domestic extremist group, without the expressed support and willful blindness of the FBI.  Quite simply if the FBI wanted to stop the violent and extremist activity of Antifa, they could do that easily."

Brownstone wonders Why Did Zuckerberg Choose Now to Confess? Because he's afraid Trump will win, of course. Christian Toto at NewBusters sees he's not through yet, Facebook Blocks ‘Reagan’ Posts with Joe Rogan, Megyn Kelly. "A Facebook official publicly apologized via Newsweek. "While there are no restrictions on this page that would prevent the admins from posting, we did identify a handful of ads from this account that were incorrectly rejected. This happened because our automated systems mistakenly determined that content about President Reagan required prior authorization in accordance with our policies for ads about Social Issues, Elections or Politics. This was a mistake and the restriction on the ads has been lifted."" Mistake, my ass.

From WokeSpy, Vermont Health Dept. Says Stop Using “Son” and “Daughter.” No. Jazz Shaw reports on a Virginia Women's College that Bans Trans Students. "The school is banning transgender students beginning this semester, and they are taking a novel approach in how they are doing it in an effort to blunt the lawsuits that will inevitably follow. They are basing the policy on the last will and testament of the school's founder, who passed away in 1900. Needless to say, the progressives are already up in arms." . . ."The private women’s liberal arts school said the policy stems from the legally binding will of its founder, Indiana Fletcher Williams, who died in 1900. Sweet Briar’s leadership said the document requires it to “be a place of ‘girls and young women.’” The phrase “must be interpreted as it was understood at the time the Will was written,” Sweet Briar’s president and board chair wrote in a letter earlier this month to the college community." From The College Fix, U.S. ‘Hates Women,’ Faces Future Of Cannibalism, ‘Forced Breeding Camps’: ASU Event.

Campus Reform reports Liz Magill hired by Harvard Law School despite resignation over anti-Semitism controversy "Liz Magill, who resigned as president of the University of Pennsylvania following controversial statements about anti-Semitism, has been hired by Harvard Law School as a fellow."

Flotsam and Jetsam - The Kamala and Tim Show Revisited

More fallout from the Kamala and Tim comedy 18 minutes on CNN. At the Free Bacon, Kamala Harris Comes Out of Hiding, "Harris's interview left more questions than answers." Dan Flynn at Am Spec, America Waited 39 Days for This? "The Blah-ness of CNN’s Kamala & Tim Show, It was neither helpful nor damaging but blah." From Althouse, Vague, vacuous, and not flustered... 2 looks at that Kamala Harris interview. ""Kamala Harris didn’t hurt herself in her interview this week with CNN’s Dana Bash. She didn’t particularly help herself, either." Writes Bret Stephens in a NYT piece with a meaner headline: "A Vague, Vacuous TV Interview Didn’t Help Kamala Harris,"", "You've had two Democratic candidates who've not been able to give unscripted interviews, which is extraordinary." and "Kamala Harris' Election Odds Slide With Bookmakers After CNN Interview." Spiked explains Why Kween Kamala is still dodging democratic scrutiny, "Kamala Harris’s interview with CNN was dull, lifeless and insipid – just as she wanted." Newt Gingrich@newtgingrich, "After watching the CNN interview of Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz it is clear that Walz is the first “emotional support candidate” in history. . ." NYPo says Harris lacked ‘confidence’ and ‘authenticity’ in first interview since Biden’s exit: body language expert. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair, 'That's It?': The Most Stunning Reveal of the Harris Interview. "Harris doesn't fight. It's not in her. Harris retreats when challenged and avoids confrontation when possible. She lacks a fighting instinct, and her entire campaign thus far demonstrates it." Ace finds a Claim: CNN Taped 41 Minutes of Puffball Interview With Kamala But Edited It Down to Just 18 Minutes. "The filthy Gaslight Media are just corrupt fonts of endless propaganda and disinformation." Sundance at CTH, CNN Delivers Kamala Harris First Interview in Three Heavily Edited Segments and Kamala Harris Segment – Everything About This is a Lie. At WaEx, Byron York wonders Will CNN interview be Harris’s last? Ay Libery Unyielding ‘She Ain’t Made For This’: Harris Aides, White House Staffers Vilify Her In Expository Book. From Breitbart's Nolte: CNN’s Kamala Harris Interview Optics Ridiculed — ‘Child at Adult Table.’ Bad Hombre@joma_gc "Kamala malfunctioned like a McDonald’s soft serve machine when confronted with the mildest of adversarial questions in a controlled environment. That was with the added luxury of splitting the “heat” with her sidekick. They won’t let her do a solo interview." Bad Hombre@joma_gc, "Trump’s last four interviews: -57 minutes (Dr. Phil) -57 minutes (Theo Von) -2 hours and 3 minutes (Elon Musk) -1 hour and 11 minutes (Shawn Ryan) Kamala’s first interview in 40 days as the Democrat nominee: 18 minutes, edited, no transcript, and with a chaperone." Insurrection Barbie@DefiyantlyFree "This analysis of Harris interview is pretty spot on. And this is not from a Trump supporter. Kamala’s Kalamity." Vivek Ramaswamy@VivekGRamaswamy, "Kamala’s interview last night was a reminder that we’re not running against a candidate. We’re running against a *system*. They require a candidate they can control, which means having original ideas is a disqualification. That’s exactly why we get Biden, then Kamala, and so on." At Jewish World Review, The Great Victor Davis Hanson writes New rules for radicals -- How to reinvent Kamala Harris "The complete Harris makeover requires 15 radical rules followed to the letter . . . " Charles Gasparino@CGasparino, "Dem strategist know how to win elections, and I'm actually in awe of their abilities. But the cover-up of the manifold weaknesses of @KamalaHarris is very dangerous for the country. Even a softball interview like last night's shows she doesnt have a clue when it comes to basic issues and no core beliefs. . ." From the Bablyon Bee, ‘What Do YOU Think My Policies Might Be?’ Kamala Harris Asks CNN’s Dana Bash During Interview and Democrats Consider Replacing Kamala Harris With More Coherent Joe Biden. Capt.

Matt Margolis at PJM, Trump-Vance Campaign Uses Kamala's CNN Interview in Devastating New Ad.


Matt Margolis, again, Tim Walz Made Kamala's First Interview Worse, Not Better. From NYPo, Tim Walz fabricated key details of political ‘origin story’ that involved being turned away at George W. Bush rally. Capt. Ed, Did Walz Fib About His Political 'Origin Story'? I'm starting to see a pattern.
PJM's Rick Moran explores the question, Why Isn't Kamala Harris Farther Ahead? "For the last six weeks, Kamala Harris has basked in the glow of the most positive and loving media coverage I've ever seen in a campaign. And I've seen a lot of campaigns." Because nobody trusts the press anymore; why would they? PJM's Stephen Kruiser swears Kamala Harris IS Election Interference. NYPo, Kamala Harris tied with Green Party candidate Jill Stein among Muslim voters, damning poll reveals. 

Sarah Arnold at TownHall has Experts who Warn Kamala Harris' Tax Proposal Would Destroy America. Maybe that's the point. Paul Sperry@paulsperry_, "DEVELOPING: Kamala campaign has stopped referencing her alleged job at McDonald's and won't respond to media questions seeking the location of the McDonald's store and the dates of her employment at McDonald's, which appears nowhere in her memoirs or early resumes...developing..."

Ace, Biden-Harris Administration Brings Joy to Employers By Depressing White Collar and Blue Collar Wages. "As your wages contract in the midst of high, unstoppable inflation, please remember: Kamala Harris is practicing the "politics of joy," as her media propagandists have dubbed it. She is above petty concerns about real wage losses and stagflation: She's all about bringing joy. This is "vibes" election, not a "facts" election. Racists." OTP, Biden-Harris Admin To Resume Migrant Flight Program. Sarah Arnold, Progressive Denver Mayor Defends 'Newcomers' Gang Violence. Joy! From the Free Bacon, Kamala's Criminal Justice Reform Comrade Accused Israel and America of 'Apartheid' in Fiery Sermon After Hamas Attack. "The Rev. Frederick Haynes has also praised anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan as a 'wonderful and great man'"


And from the In The Mailbox: 08.30.24 (Evening Edition) EBL, anti MAGA Biden-Harris, Twitchy: At This Point We Should Just List The Things Tim Walz Hasn’t Lied About, “, According To Hoyt: Lines of Departure 2-2: The Choice isn’t Trump or Harris [by Tom Kratman], American Conservative, The Non-Entity Who Would Be President, American Greatness: Kamala-Flip Flops on Fracking in Softball CNN Interview, Cafe Hayek: Yes, Harris Is Calling for Price Controls, Dana Loesch: Kamala’s Trainwreck Interview, First Street Journal: Politico Seems Unclear That Kamala Harris Is Part Of The Biden-Harris Admin, Kamala Drops Word Salad On ‘Climate Change’, Power Line: State of the Race, Tim Walz Lies Again, and She didn’t do fries, Transterrestrial Musings, The Rhetoric Of “Joy”, New Rules For Radicals, and Who Are The Racists, Again?, Victory Girls: Brat Kamala Rewriting Personal History To Fit The Vibe – Coconuts, also, Biden-Harris Open Border Threatens School Children, Volokh Conspiracy: Biden Administration Restarts CHNV Immigration Parole Program for Migrants From Four Latin American Nations, The Federalist: Dishonest Media Dismiss Illegal Immigrant Cartel Violence Near Denver, Dems Keep RFK Jr. On North Carolina Ballot As Swing State Spoiler To Hurt Trump Campaign, If Donald Trump’s Sex Life Is Fair Game For The Election, So Is Kamala Harris’, Lawsuit Alleges Fulton County Fails To Maintain Accurate Voter Rolls, Violating State And Federal Law, Walz Says He Lied About Going To War Because He Struggles With Grammar.

Althouse, "And I figured I was going to come here and we were going to make a speech. I had a speech all set for you — I was ready — and they said, sir, you're actually doing a town hall." "Said Donald Trump, quite chaotically . . ." Paula Bolyard at PJM wonders What Will Pro-Life Voters Do Now That Trump Has Stabbed Them in the Back? "The current law of the land in Florida is a six-week abortion ban. “I think the six weeks is too short,” Trump told NBC News. “It has to be more time. I told them that I want more weeks.” A video at Hat Hair, Are Black Men Leaning Trump? Steve Sailer, Democrats are finally noticing Karl Rove wasn't right about the Hispanic Vote.

Ace, Is RFKJr. the Key to Attracting Suburban "Health Moms"? "The realignment of left and right has broken a lot of the political ice that kept people frozen into positions they've held so long they've forgotten why they adopted them in the first place."  Insty, WELL, DAMN. This new ad from RFK, Jr.
At Spiked, Beware politicians posing as paragons of ‘decency.’ "Words like kindness, compassion and inclusivity are a form of linguistic blackmail against would-be dissenters."


KanekoaTheGreat@KanekoaTheGreat, "In September 2019, Senator Kamala Harris called on Twitter to censor the sitting President Donald Trump. This was after the Democrat Party's Russiagate hoax was exposed as a multi-year disinformation campaign run against the American people. She's a vindictive authoritarian who will do irreparable harm to our rights and freedoms." From WaEx, Trump raged about ‘plot’ by Zuckerberg to topple him in 2020 in new book. Stephen Kruiser, NPR Offers Up Two More Great Reasons to Nuke Its Taxpayer Funding. Graham Allen@GrahamAllen_1, "NBC SHOULD BE ASHAMED. NBC News asked Gold Star mom Kelly Hoover if it was “appropriate” for President Trump to visit Arlington National Cemetery "Are you in my shoes? I invited him. My son was murdered under the Biden-Harris administration." Hat Hair cites the NYT, NEW: Brazilian Judge Orders Block on Twitter/X Over Refusal to Censor Content. Capt. Ed comments, "There was a time when American media outlets would band together to fight censorship like this. I suspect that their impulse will now be to side with Justice Moraes." At the Blaze, 'LFG!' Texas judge sets stage for Elon Musk to drag leftist Media Matters before a jury. Capt. Ed thinks Elon certainly seems pleased. 

Jonathan Turley is pissed that the Human Rights Campaign President Calls for Rejection of “the Little Piece of Paper” of the Founders. "Before we start “reimagining” our way out of the most stable constitutional system in history, we may want to consider how the alternatives have been faring around the world."

From the College Fix, Scholars panel tells radiologists: Don’t call first-trimester babies ‘living’. You can call an amoeba living, but don't you dare call a fetus living. 

Ace, James Varney: Public Schools Have Adopted the Same Strategy With Repeat Pedophiles That the Catholic Church Did -- Just Ship 'em Off to a Different District "Weird how the leftwing Marxist media was so outraged that the Catholic Church simply moved child-molesting priests to different dioceses, but when their political allies the teachers unions take the exact same strategy of playing Hide the Pedophile, they take zero interest." This has been true a very long time, but so has the disparate treatment by the press. 

Tom Knighton at TAW, Because of course she did "White Fragility" author "Robin DiAngelo may have plagiarized multiple scholars, including minority writers, in her 2004 Ph.D. thesis, according to a report Monday." As I've said before, nobody really reads that shit, so it seemed safe. Too bad computers can comb through theses and papers looking for it so easily. Campus Reform, NSF grants LSU $4.5 million for ‘equity center’ to study alleged bias against minority faculty members "The money from the NSF grant could have paid tuition and other costs for more than 100 students." Or a few scientists. Hat Hair John Sexton hears Stanford Academics: DEI Is Not Working on College Campuses. Well, it really wasn't meant to, it was meant to fuck things up. Also, Three More Schools Show Enrollment Shift After Affirmative Action Ruling.
