~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Democrats Encourage Supporters To Go To The Polls By Telling Them Beyoncé Will Be There U.S. — To improve Kamala Harris' chances of victory, Democrats are encouraging supporters to go to the polls on election day by promising them that American singer, songwriter, and businesswoman Beyoncé will be there. "Get ready to vote, BeyHive!" Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told would-be voters as he danced along to "All the Single Ladies." "The Queen Bey herself is going to be at the polls in person, so you should be there too!"

Wow. ~~~~ Trump Adds A Kennedy In Hopes He Will Draw All The Sniper Fire [...] "A brilliant move by the Trump campaign," said one political strategist.

Good news herein. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Israel Defense Forces, Making Bad Terrorists Into Good Terrorists While cease-fire negotiations go around and around and the endless whining from the pro-Hamas brigades continues, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are just going on about their business of making bad terrorists into good terrorists. Three reports of such events have been documented Friday morning on the IDF's official X account. First, a Hezbollah cell in Lebanon was identified and deleted by an Israel Air Force airstrike, which showed off the IAF's penchant for precision hits.

Ranked-choice voting indeed throws out the votes of many who vote. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ranked-Choice Repeal Upheld: Alaska Supreme Court Rules, Issue to Be on November Ballot Despite a bitter contest waged by the left and funded with a lot of money from outside the Great Land, the Alaska Supreme Court has ruled in favor of sanity. The initiative to repeal the ranked-choice voting (RCV) scheme, as well as the jungle primary, will be on the Alaska ballot in November. Now, if we can just get Alaskans to turn out to vote this stupidity out.

BREAKING: 16 Republican AGs Sue the Biden Administration Over Amnesty Plan Sixteen Republican state attorneys general filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration in district court Friday, seeking to halt the implementation of a policy that expands amnesty for illegal aliens residing in the United States. The motion states that the Democrats "[have] yet again attempted to create [their] own immigration system," instead of following the Constitution. The policy, which in part grants citizenship to spouses of Americans, started rolling out this week.

Alaska is stuck with ranked-choice voting through the November election, so the described move is indeed substantial. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Game-Changer: Alaska Republican Dahlstrom Withdraws From House Race, Tipping Election to GOP Only days after the results of the Alaska primary became apparent, and only hours after the Alaska Supreme Court upheld the repeal of ranked-choice voting (RCV), with Democrat Rep. Mary Peltola holding the lead ahead of Republicans Nick Begich III and Lieutenant Governor Nancy Dahlstrom, now Dahlstrom has withdrawn from the race. This leaves Nick Begich III to face incumbent Mary Peltola. It's a whole different game now.

Lies, Damned Lies, and Kamala's Propaganda About Gaza and Israel Take note, Israel — Kamala Harris's policy for Israel and Gaza, if elected, will just be a continuance of Joe Biden and Harris's utterly disastrous and treacherous policy now. Harris's speech at the Democratic National Convention was of course riddled with untruths — a vice president with such a wretched record of failures as hers could not do otherwise — but her brief comments about Israel and its war with Hamas were particularly disgusting for two reasons. Firstly, because [...] https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2024/08/23/lies-damned-lies-and-kamalas-propaganda-about-gaza-and-israel-n4931905

I heard the beginning of this, and it's really good. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TRANSCRIPT: Every Word of RFK Jr's Epic Anti-Establishment Speech On Friday afternoon, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced that he is suspending his campaign and endorsing Donald Trump. In a speech that lasted over 45 minutes, he explained his rationale for dropping out, how he wants to help Trump, and what he hopes his legacy will be. It was a powerful, epic speech, and even though conservatives have plenty to disagree with RFK over, his idea of a unity campaign with Trump, combined with his desire to make America healthy again, is admirable. Here's the speech in its entirety. [...] https://pjmedia.com/chris-queen/2024/08/23/transcript-rfk-jrs-epic-speech-n4931936

What Does It Take to Get a Deranged, Threatening Person Off the Street in San Francisco? San Francisco is a famously tolerant place but tolerance for anti-social behavior ought to have some limits. If you want to live on the street, do drugs, steal to feed your habit and generally throw away your own life, that's tragic. But if, in the midst of all that, you present a danger to other people around you, especially to children, shouldn't the city step in? Put another way, how many times can a deranged woman harass and threaten mothers and their young children before that person gets taken off the street? The answer in San Francisco appears to be that there are no limits.

Secret Service Agents Placed on Leave Over Trump Assassination Attempt There has been an ongoing investigation into the security failures that happened in connection with the Trump assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. We still don't know the results of that investigation but apparently they don't look good for some members of the Secret Service. At least five agents connected to the failure have been suspended. CBS News says this is basically the lowest level of discipline that could be used here. All of these agents are still being paid.

I'm surprised that no one posted this earlier. Comments on the potential impact? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RFK Jr. endorses Trump and suspends presidential campaign Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his independent presidential campaign and threw his support behind GOP nominee Donald Trump on Friday, saying in remarks in Phoenix that he was endorsing the former president because he saw no viable path to the White House. "In my heart, I no longer believe that I have a realistic path to electoral victory," Kennedy said. "I cannot in good conscience ask my staff and volunteers to keep working their long hours or ask my donors to keep giving when I cannot honestly tell them that I have a real path to the White House." Kennedy said three issues convinced him to leave the Democratic Party and "to throw my support to President Trump": free speech, the war in Ukraine and what he called the "war on our children."

These are the Dems who deserve an Oscar for the fake, all-an-act convention The Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week was one heck of a production. Less like a normal political convention and more like a glitzy Hollywood one. With a host of A-list celebrities and B-list politicians, it felt most like the Oscars. So in honor of this, the Academy would like to hand out a set of awards for the best performances in Chicago this week: [...] https://nypost.com/2024/08/22/opinion/these-are-the-dems-who-deserve-an-oscar-for-the-fake-all-an-act-convention/

We can nod in satisfaction with this article. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Crying Game convention: Childless Cat Lady vibes vs. A Man's Man's World CHICAGO — Welcome to the matriarchy. In the epic battle between Mars and Venus, insanity has won. And the Cat Ladies have taken over the Democrat Party. The free vasectomy campaign here at the Democrat convention is bad enough. But then again, if a "man" climbs into the back of a taco truck to be sterilized for life, it is probably a win-win situation for America and humanity. Beyond humiliating for the male species, however, is all the forced crying at this convention. Only by men, of course.

If anyone's wondering how Ecuatorianos and Chinese ended up together, they may have all come via Ecu. A previous president of Ecu practically sold all of Ecu to China. Of note, however, on my last visit to Ecu in 2019, I saw no Chinese and no evidence of Chinese influence.

~~~~~~~~~~ Oprah Surprises DNC Attendees With Free Gift Under Each Seat: Their Own Illegal Immigrant CHICAGO, IL — Oprah Winfrey wowed delegates at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday night when she asked them to check under their seats to find a free illegal immigrant of their very own. "You get an undocumented immigrant! And you get an undocumented immigrant! You all get undocumented immigrants!" Oprah yelled from the convention stage. The audience erupted with applause and shouts of joy as each attendee discovered the illegal immigrant who had been hiding under their chair the whole time. Men, women, non-binary, and furries alike were overwhelmed with joy — a joy which Oprah promised was but a taste of the great joy to come under a Kamala Harris regime. "Wow! My very own Guatemalan!" said Susan Heins, a single mother from Seattle. [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/oprah-surprises-dnc-attendees-with-free-gift-under-each-seat-their-own-illegal-immigrant

With Walz and Harris, It's Not Just What Gun Control They Talk About Both Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are proponents of gun control. They're vocally so. That's not a matter of debate. Yes, so-called fact-checkers might be trying to run cover on things they've said in the past, arguing that they don't want to do them now despite no evidence they've changed their views, but even they acknowledge that both of them want gun control. Yet that's kind of the issue, isn't it? People are saying they don't want to do things they've explicitly called for in the past, arguing they have "other priorities" now, but that doesn't mean they don't want to do them. They're just lower on the list. [...] https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2024/08/21/with-walz-and-harris-its-not-just-what-gun-control-they-talk-about-n1226002

Cue the Jeopardy Music: DNC Attendees Face Plant When Asked to Name Their Favorite Kamala Policy We've seen a lot of 'enthusiasm' and 'joy' angrily shoved down our throats at the Democratic National Convention this week. With everyone in attendance reminding everyone else every five seconds how 'joyful' they are, you know it has to be genuine, right? Not at all fabricated? Or, you know, maybe not. Last night, The Free Press decided to measure how authentic everyone's 'love' for Kamala Harris was by sending their intern Julia to the United Center in Chicago to quiz the DNC attendees on what their favorite Harris policy was. And it went exactly how you'd imagine it would.
