VDH comes as close as he ever has to losing it. This is a pointed, eloquent piece. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Biden-Harris World Is Afire Somehow the United States ended up this summer with no engaged president and an absent vice president who avoids the missing president and is frantically repudiating everything she co-owned the last three years. The world was already confused over how President Joe Biden was apparently declared by unnamed Democratic insiders and donors unfit and unable to continue as their presidential candidate—as if he were a dethroned Third-World usurper. It further wondered how those who staged his removal had no problem allowing him, in his debilitated state, to continue as America's commander-in-chief until January 20, 2025. They demonstrated their priorities that focus on retaining power, not the welfare of the nation or the will of over 14 million Biden primary voters. Vice President Kamala Harris, until Biden's forced abdication, was judged by these same backroom fixers as too incompetent to ever be commander-in-chief and thus for three years a good reason why Biden apparently was not forced out earlier. Now nominal Vice President Harris is on the campaign trail nonstop, while Biden has taken the most vacation time off and worked the shortest workweek in presidential memory. The world again wonders who is in charge, what they believe, who is a friend, and who is an enemy. Harris is busy trying to get elected on three premises: [...] https://amgreatness.com/2024/09/09/the-biden-harris-world-is-afire/

This Senate race means control or no control... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'Moderate' Tester Goes Kamikaze in Montana If you don't live in Montana, you can be forgiven for thinking that "Shady Sheehy" is a mixed drink popular in the old-time Irish saloons of Butte. But it's not. "Shady Sheehy" is the disparaging nickname hung on his election opponent by U.S. Sen. Jon Tester. Long before Montana's June primary, Tester and his super PAC surrogates had dominated the airwaves with ads targeting Montana businessman Tim Sheehy as the worst possible candidate – an out-of-state millionaire who was seemingly shady because he had too much money! Those ads mostly complained about how Sheehy had glitzy mansions and a ranch where he charged other "out-of-staters" to come and hunt on his wildlife-rich property. If you didn't know any better, you would think that Jon Tester was running as a far-left anti-capitalist liberal whose campaign was based on class envy. But no. Tester is a candidate who [...] https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2024/09/09/moderate_tester_goes_kamikaze_montana_151578.html

Why Does My Cat Sit on My Stuff? Anyone who is familiar with cats knows that they will lie on the book in front of you, the piece of paper you just set down, the object you want to take a picture of, the box you are about to start packing with, or anything else that you seem to need right at that moment. But why? Is it for attention? Neediness? A sense of feline superiority and overall ... cattiness? Let's take a deep dive into the inner motivations of our feline friends when they choose to sit on or in whatever object we might need.

38-Pound Cat Rescued After Being Fed a Diet of Cookies and Soup Often, homeless and stray animals must survive on whatever they can find - or are given by humans - to eat. That was the case for Kroshik, a Russian cat found living in the basement of a hospital who was surviving on a diet of cookies and soup. Kroshik, which translates to "Crumbs," weighed a shocking 38 pounds when he was rescued, and he was unable to walk because of it.

Liz Cheney's Kamala Endorsement: A Symptom of Elite Panic Perhaps my favorite moment in Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s speech announcing the suspension of his presidential campaign and endorsement of Donald Trump was the rhetorical question, "Who needs a policy when you have Trump to hate?" I was reminded of that in the last couple of days as first Liz and then her father, ####### Cheney, declared that they were endorsing Kamala Harris for president. I guess the legacy media regards those endorsements as big news because if you try to search for some of the blistering attacks Liz Cheney unleashed on Harris in the past, all you get is a solid wall of rah-rah headlines about what a big deal it is that the Cheneys turned on their party and endorsed Kamala. My own feeling is that Ann Coulter got it exactly right in her amusing post on X: [...] https://amgreatness.com/2024/09/08/liz-cheneys-kamala-endorsement-a-symptom-of-elite-panic/

Jonathan Turley. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The ghost of Richard Daley: Democrats aren't creating disorder; they're preserving it In 1968, in the midst Democratic convention riots, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley famously declared, "The policeman isn't there to create disorder; the policeman is there to preserve disorder." Democratic state election officials appear to have adopted a similar approach to the upcoming election. In states such as North Carolina and Michigan, Democrats are fighting to keep the name of Robert Kennedy, Jr. on the ballot even though he withdrew from the race and endorsed former president Donald Trump. These are key states where the misplacement of even 1 percent of votes could turn the outcome of not just the state but the entire election.

Kamala Quietly Asks Aides If She Should Just Try Sleeping With The Economy U.S. — Vice President Kamala Harris was seen by several witnesses this week ask aides if maybe she should try sleeping with the United States economy. "Would that help?" Harris reportedly asked, the question punctuated by nervous laughter. According to sources, it took her team several minutes to figure out what she was talking about since she first broached the subject with vague questions about the economy's idea of the perfect date and whether or not it was seeing anybody.

FBI Foils Mass Shooting Plan to 'Rack Up a Lot of Jews' The New York Joint Terrorism Task Force of the FBI, working with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), apprehended terror suspect Mohammed Khan for planning a terror attack in Brooklyn, New York City. FBI's undercover investigators communicated with Khan via encrypted message apps and learned that he planned a mass shooting at an undisclosed Jewish center in Brooklyn. Khan planned the attack to take place on or near October 7, the anniversary of Hamas' brutal attack on mostly unarmed Israeli civilians, which resulted in an unknown number of rapes, roughly 1,200 deaths, and many hostages.

Americans Lose Jobs as Net Gains All for Migrants Native-born Americans have lost more jobs than migrants have gained over the past year. That's Bidenomics! Donald Trump has been viciously attacked (but what else is new?) for claiming 100% of new jobs under Joe Biden have gone to immigrants, including illegal migrants. It turns out that, as usual, Trump was on to something the media doesn't want you to know; namely, that native-born U.S. workers' jobs have dropped more than migrants' jobs have grown. The numbers might shock you. Economist E.J. Antoni posted on X(Twitter), "Aug jobs report shows more pain for native-born Americans, who've lost more than 1.3 million jobs over the last year, while foreign-born workers have gained over 1.2 million jobs - the American worker has been left behind in this 'recovery.'"

Judge in Trump Non-Disclosure and Records Case Sued for Hiding His Disclosures and Records How many data points must you identify before you can identify a pattern? This is a question I've pondered about in the case of New York's Acting Judge Juan Merchan. He is the judge presiding over the bookkeeping and non-disclosure agreement case of Donald Trump. What happens when you hide evidence of a pattern? Ironically—and illegally—Judge Merchan and the people at the oxymoronically-named Ethics Commission for the New York State Unified Court System have been hiding the judge's records and disclosures since 2018. America First Legal is suing both Merchan and ethics overseers for illegally hiding the judge's disclosures for the past seven years.
