new online marketplace that promotes itself as a conservative and patriotic alternative to Amazon is preparing to ring the bell on the New York Stock Exchange and take the company public.
According to the Daily Mail, the San Diego-based PublicSq, which first launched in August of 2022, has already drawn the support of prominent America First figures such as Donald Trump Jr. and former Arizona Senate nominee Blake Masters. The company plans to attract more investors by highlighting its status within the so-called “parallel economy” of conservative alternatives to larger, left-wing businesses, according to excerpts from an investor call on Tuesday.

Tucker Carlson delivered remarks as keynote speaker shortly before Trump took the stage Saturday night.
The crowd went wild as soon as Tucker took the stage. He called out cancel culture, mocked the Biden Regime, and savaged Mike Pence.
Tucker dropped this truth bomb and the crowd cheered:
“No one is punished for lying. People are only punished for telling the truth,” Tucker said to cheers.

In the classic good cop-bad cop scenario, two officers working together take different paths to reach the same goal: to get the suspect to confess.
Americans witnessed a version of that scenario last week, although with crucial distinctions.Major law-enforcement events showcased the real-world difference between actual good cops and actual bad cops.
The good cops made an arrest in the cold-case murders of three young women on Long Island.
Cornell West bashed President Joe Biden's history of supporting the 90s crime bill.

Likely Green Party presidential candidate Cornel West ripped President Biden’s record on race issues, calling the Democrat’s history with black Americans nothing short of a “crime against humanity,” in an exclusive interview with The Post.
West, 70, accused Biden of spurring mass incarceration among minorities because of the tough-on-crime federal Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act Biden sponsored as a senator in 1994. The bill authorized the hiring of 100,000 new police officers and allocated $9.7 billion for prisons.

Less young people are identifying as Democrats and this has some Biden supporters worried that they won’t show up to vote for him in 2024.
These young voters are not becoming Republicans, they are becoming independents. Far left, progressive independents.
The Democrat party has been headed for this split for a decade or more. The Bernie/AOC wing of the party does not identify with the establishment wing.
Politico reports:
In a massive breach of two dozen organizations, Chinese hackers managed to gain access to the confidential emails of at least two senior officials in the Biden Administration.
As previously reported, Microsoft had announced that a Chinese hacking group called Storm-0558 had been behind the breach of 25 different companies and government agencies.
Now, additional reporting from the Washington Free Beacon reveals that the affected government agencies included the State Department and the Commerce Department, with the accounts of several top State Department officials, as well as Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, being compromised.
Former Vice President Mike Pence was among several 2024 Republican presidential candidates who released lackluster second-quarter fundraising reports on Friday raising doubts about their ability to qualify for the first primary debate next month.
Pence has raised a mere $1.2 million for his presidential campaign in the three weeks since launching his White House bid, according to reports. Combined with the roughly $2.6 million reportedly raised by Committed to America, a super PAC aligned with the former vice president, Pence’s second quarter totals amount to just $3.8 million, far less than his top opponents.
James Murdoch was reportedly 'iced out' of the Murdoch family reunion on Saturday as his media mogul father Rupert and siblings Lachlan and Elizabeth celebrated on their superyachts.
The billionaire family took their multimillion-dollar boats out for a spin on the Amalfi Coast with their extended family of almost 40, but James, 50, was nowhere to be seen.
Allegedly estranged from the international media magnates due to his left-leaning politics, James was not invited to the reunion,

The special counsel investigating former President Donald Trump's handling of classified documents has taken new steps to examine possible efforts to obstruct the probe, threatening potential charges against a Trump Organization employee who is suspected of lying to investigators, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. Special counsel Jack Smith in recent weeks transmitted a target letter to the staffer indicating that he might have perjured himself during a May appearance before the federal grand jury hearing evidence in the classified documents probe, the sources told ABC News.CORRECTION*
Electric Cars Are a Scam
13 replies
The left likes to treat skeptics of electrical cars as if they were Luddites. Truth is, making an existing product less efficient but more expensive doesn't really meet the definition of innovation.Even the purported amenities and technological advances EV makers like to brag about in their ads have been a regular feature of gas-powered vehicles going back generations. At best, EVs, if they fulfill their promise, are a lateral technology.
This is why there is no real "emerging market" for EVs in the United States as much as there's an industrial policy in place that props up EVs with government purchases, propaganda, state subsidies, cronyism, taxpayer-backed loans, and edicts.
A New York court ordered new congressional maps be redrawn ahead of the 2024 midterms, siding with Democrats salivating at the chance to overturn several embarrassing losses last November.
The appellate court reversed a lower court’s decision on Thursday and ordered the state’s redistricting commission to start work on new proposed state congressional lines impacting 26 House seats — 15 held by Democrats and 11 by the GOP.

If, like me, you find the presidential debate format a rather meaningless exercise, you will be astonished at what one-on-one interviews by a skilled interrogator can accomplish.
At the Iowa family Leader conference, Tucker Carlson interviewed several leading contenders for president Tim Scott, Asa Hutchinson, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Ron DeSantis.
If the participants thought this was going to be another tongue bath, they were certainly surprised. He asked hard questions and some of their answers exposed their muddled thinking. At least two of them – Asa Hutchinson and Mike Pence -- were clear losers

They Could’ To Track Down White House
Cocaine Suspect 28 replies
The investigation into the origin of the cocaine found in the White House was “the best” the Secret Service could do, despite not identifying a suspect, a top Biden administration official says.
John Kirby, the coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council, told Fox News host Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday” that at the end of the probe, there wasn’t enough “forensic evidence” to pinpoint the perpetrator. On July 2, a bag of cocaine was discovered in a lobby of the West Wing.
Media mogul Barry Diller suggested that Hollywood's top-earning actors and executives take a 25 percent pay cut as he warns of a devastating collapse for the industry if the SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America strikes are not settled soon.
The former Paramount and 20th Century Fox CEO, who is now the head of the media conglomerate IAC, appeared on CBS' Face the Nation on Sunday, where he weighed in on the issues that he called a 'perfect storm.'
'Everybody's probably overpaid at the top end,' Diller said. 'The one idea I had is to say, as a good faith measure, both the executives and the most-paid actors should take
On the Edge of an Abyss

The supporters of former President Trump are absolutely correct about one thing. If every single Republican pledged their allegiance to him and fell in line he’d win the nomination easily. But he’d also lose the general election, again. He does not receive enough support from outside the traditional Republican and MAGA base to win in 2024.
Hillary Clinton beat Trump by roughly 3 million in the popular vote in 2016. While Trump indeed did win the election by taking the required 270 electoral votes, just a few thousand votes in each of the key swing states would have changed that outcome into a Hillary Clinton landslide victory in 2016.
FBI Whistleblower Kyle Seraphin isn’t impressed by Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee’s recent attacks on his credibility during a recent hearing in DC.
In a Saturday phone call, Seraphin is looking to correct the record after Rep. Jackson Lee “inarticulately stated” that he is looking to compensate fellow whistleblowers from the widely criticized Federal Bureau of Investigation as part of a “quid pro quo” arrangement.
“She’s not intelligent,” Seraphin states bluntly.
Jackson’s attacks on Seraphin and the other FBI whistleblowers came during a Wednesday hearing before the House Judiciary Committee.
On Friday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” Harvard Law Professor Emeritus and Newsmax Legal Analyst Alan Dershowitz said that the bad behavior of universities is a large driver of student loan debt and even said his own institution has engaged in the same behavior and is “like a mega-corporation and the tuition reflects it.”
After host Greta Van Susteren said that she finds “universities, sometimes, reprehensible.” Dershowitz responded, “Oh, they are.”He added, “When I started teaching at Harvard in 1964, we had essentially a couple of buildings, a few secretaries and administrators. Now, it’s like a mega-corporation
This week the Biden White House closed its short-lived investigation into finding the culprit who brought cocaine into the West Wing of the president’s corridors- despite the Secret Service declining to interview over 500 suspects. Speculation has swirled around who may be guilty, with many suggesting President Joe Biden’s drug and prostitute-addicted son Hunter Biden may be at fault.
Investigative reporter Paul Sperry made several observations about Hunter’s booze-filled days— which apparently aren’t over.
Sperry detailed Hunter’s failed rehab stints which reportedly started in 2003, relapsing at least ten times.

A federal judge in Oregon ruled on Friday that a new state gun law does not violate the US Constitution, keeping one of the toughest gun laws in the country in place.
US District Court Judge Karin Immergut ruled that Ballot Measure 114’s restrictions on large-capacity magazines that hold more than 10 rounds are constitutional because these magazines are “not commonly used for self-defense, and are therefore not protected by the Second Amendment.”
“Even if LCMs are protected by the Second Amendment, BM 114’s restrictions are consistent with this Nation’s history and tradition of regulating uniquely dangerous features of weapons and firearms to protect public safety,” the ruling said.
We’ve seen how companies like Bud Light and Target have taken a severe hit for the various ways in which they have bought into the woke mind virus. Bud Light has now even been hit by the Costco “Death Star,” which means they’re in deep trouble.
Speaking of trouble, let’s look at Disney.
A week ago, I wrote about how Disney had lost almost a billion dollars by going woke on some of their recent films. Megyn Kelly laid out some of that evidence showing that we’re winning against the woke when it comes to Disney, too. She explained how they lost about $900 million
