Some cops don't get out from behind their desks much, so when the NYPD's Assistant Chief went out to face protesters (and camera crews) on the Manhattan Bridge he did so with the express purpose of getting on the local news. Unfortunately for him, all James McCarthy ended up doing was blasting himself in the face with pepper spray, as well as other police officers. And then of course the police department lied about it, trying to save themselves embarrassment. That didn't work out so well either. Читать дальше...

Daily Wire host Matt Walsh has outed himself as a racist on quite a few occasions. Just last week, Walsh made the bizarre claim that white men aren't allowed to build airports anymore. And now he's expressing frustration over Black people being able to use the n-word, but white people can't. Someone actually pays the guy to talk about unimportant things. This time, it's about an alleged white pizza delivery guy who said the n-word, and I suppose he saw the ring video footage online and determined that it was a hoax. Читать дальше...

Vice President Kamala Harris didn't hold back as she fired up the crowd at the Asian-Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies on Monday with a well-placed F-bomb. Harris was talking about breaking barriers; she would know little about that as she became our country's first woman Vice President. She was also the first Black American and South Asian American to be elected to that position, so she broke a few glass ceilings. As an F-bomb terrorist, I can appreciate one that's used during an inspiring speech. Читать дальше...

Sen. JD Vance became Trump's public attack dog and assailed the judge's daughter today. Diminished Don is sending out his flunkies, since he faces jail if he violates the gag order again.

Fox News host Arthel Neville pointed out that the defense will have a difficult time discrediting Michael Cohen in Donald Trump's hush money trial because he "was covering up" for the former president.

MAGA Republican candidate for Arizona Senate seat claimed (with no proof, of course) that as of Sunday, she would lose her Senate race because of election fraud perpetrated by migrants being able to vote illegally.

CNN host Dana Bash pushed back on JD Vance's claims that Trump isn't anti-Semitic, but a huge supporter of Israel when she reminded him of the infamous Nick Fuentes dinner at Mar-A-Lago.

A spokesperson for the city of Wildwood, New Jersey, made a startling claim about the crowd size at Trump's rally. Lisa Fagan might as well have told the Associated Press that eleventy bazillion people showed up. She said that between 80,000 and 100,000 Trumpers showed up to see the orange aberration. However, photos from the air and video clips of MAGAs leaving the event tell another story.

Trump threw a hissy fit on his social network over Paul Ryan (who is a Fox board member) saying he wouldn't vote for Trump. Via Vanity Fair:

In a move to become the first state in the country to categorize abortion drugs as controlled dangerous substances, Louisiana is threatening incarceration and fines if someone possesses the pills without a valid prescription or outside of a medical practice. Via the Washington Post:

Sen. Bob Menendez is set to face a weekslong trial over charges of taking bribes including gold bars, cash and a luxury car to help push U.S. aid and weapons to a foreign government. Via CNN:

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) could not come up with a good answer Sunday when Fox News guest host Benjamin Hall pointed out that President Joe Biden had a similar Israel policy to former President Ronald Reagan.

On this date in 1967, The Supremes scored their tenth No.1 single in the US with “The Happening.”

Arizona’s first congressional district, entirely within Maricopa County, is one of the swing districts the Democrats are counting on to flip the House. Biden beat Trump there by one and a half points. And 2 years later the Republican incumbent, David Schweikert barely survived a challenge by an under-financed Democrat who was basically ignored by the DCCC— less than a point separated them.

A blast from the sun has created a massive geomagnetic storm that is creating an incredible visual spectacle for the US.

Paul Manafort, convicted felon pardoned by Trump, has backed away from his role advising the Republican National Convention.
