This is a GOOD ad. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump Drops First Campaign Ad on Harris After Biden Drops Out and It's As Good As You Knew It Would Be Welp, that didn't take long. Within two hours of embattled Joe Biden announcing on Sunday he would drop his reelection bid after his disastrous presidential debate performance just three weeks ago, Team Trump dropped a blistering campaign ad targeting almost equally embattled Kamala Harris, whom many Democrats believe should replace Biden at the top of the ticket. Why, it's "almost" like Trump & Co. saw it coming, as the walls have continued to close in on Joe. https://redstate.com/mike_miller/2024/07/21/trump-drops-first-campaign-ad-on-harris-after-biden-drops-out-and-its-as-good-as-you-knew-it-would-be-n2177193

Is this genuine progress, or are officials concerned because the election is so near? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ICE Reports Some 'Sanctuary Cities' Now Cooperating With the Agency Some counties and cities that had previously identified themselves a "sanctuaries" for illegal aliens have begun cooperating with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by informing the agency when they are releasing illegals from jail and giving advanced notice before illegals convicted of violent crimes are released. It's unknown what ICE is doing with the information. But acting ICE Director P.J. Lechleitner believes that the recent spate of serious crimes committed by illegals has put pressure on some of the cities to change their policies after regretting the release of certain violent illegals.

The Democrats Just Overthrew Their Own Election [...] the Pelosi/Obama junta differs little from Thomas Crooks only in their methodology. Crooks used a gun, and Pelosi/Obama used a behind-the-scenes coup. But the goal is the same, as are the implications beneath. They, not you, decide who gets to be president and who gets dispatched to either a humiliating forced retirement or an early grave. Republican or Democrat, it doesn't matter, and neither does your vote. Democrat voters would be wise to see that this is just as much a threat to their voting rights as it is to ours. But they won't. That's fine. Par for the course. If this, like the assassination attempt, doesn't open their eyes to the raw fact that the Left will hold on to power at all costs whatsoever, then nothing will. But from this point on, they have no authority whatsoever to preach about election interference. To the extent that they sincerely felt they held the moral high ground, they just unconditionally surrendered it for the entire world to see.

Biden's Exit Brings Us Closer to World War in the Middle East President Biden has dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris. He may be forced to resign before his term ends. The Democratic Party is scrambling to figure out a way to not only create a winning ticket, but to make sure that the nominee is on every state ballot. Our nation is in turmoil, and it isn't clear who is really steering the ship. The U.S. is in a mess. But how does this affect the Middle East, where Israel is at war on seven fronts; Iran is supposedly only weeks away from having nuclear capabilities; the Houthis are attacking wherever they can; and Hamas is still holding hostages, including at least five Americans? And to top it all off, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is scheduled to speak this week before a joint session of Congress, and to meet with the president and vice president. A weak lame duck and an incompetent who may or may not even be a candidate for the next presidential election.

Biden's Endorsement: Revenge on Coup Plotters? Did Joe Biden's endorsement of Kamala Harris to replace him as nominee give Democrats a path out of chaos? Or did it ensure that they would remain mired in it? Either Biden remained loyal or remained bitter. Or both!

This is the ghastly airheadedness we're soon to be graced with. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kamala Harris proves again she's not a better candidate than Biden [...] With Joe Biden absent due to COVID, and almost certainly about to be pushed out of the race by his own demoralized party, Kamala Harris is kicking things up a notch. On Thursday afternoon, she addressed supporters at Westover High School in North Carolina. Never mind the world watching — it's not clear that all the people at Westover High school were watching. So how did she do? In a word: terribly. From the moment she bounded onto the stage, Harris reminded people of why this November's election is Trump's for the losing.

Thrilling Sunday report, see man: What an eventful, unusual Sunday, si man! We awoke to check e-mail from the ES chica, si and see man. We opted not to shower initially, good decision man. Breakfast (!!?) was a banana, wisely ingest we man. Uncle T-B. called with his grocery list, very similar to that of late May man. On way back from the ES, we passed Aldi, opportune man. We groceried a bit more than half of Uncle T-B.'s stuff there, big $aving$ for senior he man man. We delivered it straight to him, appreciative senior he man man. We told him that we'd get the rest in a couple of hours, si man. We were moderately sweaty by now, perspirational we man. On way back to casa, we spent $Many at CVS for special Uncle T-B. needs, spend we man. At the casa, we serviced needy miu, miu-treats and miu-lunch man. Lunch (at 2 p.m.) was onebag of mixed vegetables, voraciously ingest we man. Thus fortified, we went to legacy supermarket for the rest of the junk, re-grocery we man. We delivered this and the CVS stuff to Uncle T-B., appreciative senior he man. We were nearly Many00% sweaty by now, perspirational we man. It was nearly Many (2+2+1) p.m., finally shower we man. At the casa, we sat under a fan to off-cool and watched local/national TV news, watch we man. Din-din was Modified Tuna Glop, ingest we man. On way from microwave to counter, we spilled the rice on the floor, uh-oh man. We scooped most of it up, removed visible miu-hairs, and served it to ourself, financially savvy we man. We have still not laundried yet, one load can wait man. We have not dished the warsher, usually done late anyway man. We are pleased with the accomplishments of this Sunday, still must extract desk from T-B.-mobile man. And that was/is our thrilling Sunday, si man.

Special Sunday re-ES report, see man: We indeed returned, very long drive man. The skool desk was still available, e-mail ES chica we man man. The original price was (an outrageous) $Many00, ridiculous man. She calculated $Many ($2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2 +1) as the "make a deal" price, still too much man. We truthfully observed that we weren't sure that Mini-B. would like it, waffle we man. She offered $Many ($2x2x2x2 -1), better man. We still waffled and said, "Well, for $Many ($2x2x2 +2+2), we'll take it, si man," si man. She agreed to that, si and whee and glee man. She found a hulking brute to stuff it into the T-B.-mobile for us, just fit on back seat man. We now need to find someone to help extract it and carry it inside, si man. Total = $Many ($2x2x2 +2+2)

Be aware that some people are allergic to perfumes. Worst is when someone allergic sits in an airplane seat next to someone who has overdone it. When I was a teenager, I would often overdo my aftershave and cologne. Papa T-B.* once observed, "Son, you smell like a cheap whorehouse." *who never visited such places, guaranteed

Our VAWA-Thread Jokes have been really effective in bringing about approvals and positive news (that is, if correlation = causation). Here now is our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke for Sunday: ============================================= THE PSYCHIATRIST AND THE ANGRY HUSBAND A woman went to a psychiatrist because she was having severe problems with her love life. The psychiatrist asked her a lot of questions, but he couldn't get a clear picture of the problems. Finally, he asked, "Do you ever watch your husband's face while you're having relations?" "Well, yes, I did once." "And how did he look?" "Oh boy -- he looked angry!" At this point, the psychiatrist thought that he was getting somewhere. "That's very interesting; we must explore this further. Now tell me: you say that you have seen your husband's face only 'once' during lovemaking. That seems somewhat unusual. How did it occur that you saw his face that time?" "He was watching us through the window."

Kommie continues to be a true winner. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It Looks Like Kamala's Call with Democrat Donors Was a Disaster We reported on Friday that Kamala Harris was going to have a conference call with big Democrat donors. The meeting was put together on short notice. However, at the time of the report, it was not clear what message she was going to deliver to them. The donors who have largely funded the Biden-Harris campaign were so spooked by Biden's disastrous debate performance that they stopped writing checks and threatened to withhold donations unless Joe Biden was replaced. Would Harris encourage them to calm down and unite behind Biden, or was another message going to be delivered? Perhaps a coup? An email from tech billionaire Reid Hoffman, a major donor to the Democratic Party, revealed that the meeting would address "urgent, emerging needs" and include the vice president and key voter outreach leaders. Hoffman emphasized the importance of staying focused on protecting democracy amid the high stakes of the current political cycle. We now have details about the call.

Whistling past the graveyard? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Biden's Demoralized Campaign Staff Ordered Not to Watch 'Depressing' Cable News Joe Biden's campaign chair, Jen O'Malley Dillon, cautioned campaign staffers not to watch cable news to prevent further demoralization among staff. If it's this bad now, what's it going to be like in four months? "Don't watch cable news all the time," O'Malley Dillon told her staff, according to Axios, "That is not the real world. The real world is the voters that are standing with us, the delegates that are with us, and we're going to weather this because of this organization." All's well. Remain calm.

Three potential cheers for Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Far-Left Strategist Has an Idea of Who Should Dust Off Her Broomstick and Replace Biden This was bound to happen sooner or later. The Dems want to ditch Papa Dementia, but all they have to replace him are a disreputable gaggle of hacks, quacks, lilliputians and psychopaths. And yet they do have a seasoned, experienced candidate, a far-left ideologue with boundless ambition and a burning hatred for Donald Trump. That's right, she's perfect: are you ready, and is the world ready, for Hillary 2024?

I think that the upcoming Dem convention will be newsworthy enough that it will merit its own thread. --- This interesting piece suggests a contentious, even chaotic, Dem convention. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Do Biden's Delegates Have a 'Loophole' at the Convention? [...] Some are claiming that there is a "loophole" in the DNC nomination process that would allow Joe Biden's delegates to vote for another candidate at the convention if he doesn't officially release them. They are finding this possibility in a portion of the DNC's rules which states, "Delegates elected to the national convention pledged to a presidential candidate shall in all good conscience reflect the sentiments of those who elected them." [...] During the NATO summit, Biden went on camera and publicly stated, 'The delegates can do whatever the hell they want to do.' Nothing in the rules says that the candidate must formally release their delegates at or during the convention.

"Cogniting" is a cool new word. One of mine is "to curbside," as in "I curbsided the garbage today." (We already say "broadsided" in reference to accidents, so...) Too bad that Gary has been gone from here for 10 years and can't retort to "been in Vermont way too long." If anyone has an update on him, please post it.

Absolutely right. It will be important to protect the code words from anyone who could learn and steal them.

Biden: This is a Revolt If Robert Costa's reporting is correct, President Biden is using the term "revolt" to describe attempts to get him to leave the race. You have to admit, the term fits. Not quite an "insurrection," but "revolt" among his party allies definitely describes what is happening. It is a coordinated campaign to remove him from the nomination, and in all likelihood the presidency itself if things keep going. They aren't underestimating him. They are plotting and acting to destroy his ability to remain the nominee. Those are two different things. "Underestimating" him is thinking he is likely to lose while coordinating a campaign filled with leaks, and hoaxes (he has already decided to drop out and has a speech being written is one false claim) is a full-scale attack on his ability to run at all.
