An irate city councilwoman allegedly bit a deputy NYPD chief during a scream-filled clash with cops at a protest against a homeless shelter in Brooklyn, according to officials and video of the incident. Councilwoman Susan Zhuang (D-43rd Dist.) was arrested on charges of second-degree and third-degree assault and resisting arrest Wednesday morning at a demonstration with “Residents Against Homeless Shelters” in Gravesend, police confirmed. Zhuang, 38, allegedly tried to prevent officers from arresting another woman at the protest grabbing and pushing police barricades into cops — then bit Deputy Chief of Patrol Borough Brooklyn South Frank DiGiacomo on the arm when he attempted to pull the councilwoman

World Champ: Trump Crushes All-Time Record,
Herculean Stamina Days After Assassination Attempt 1 reply
Herculean Stamina Days After Assassination Attempt 1 reply
Former President Donald Trump crushed the record for the longest-ever nomination acceptance speech on Thursday night at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, speaking for 92 minutes — past midnight on the East Coast — just days after surviving an assassination attempt.
ABC News and others reported that the 92-minute speech was a record. Trump often speaks off-the-cuff for more than an hour at campaign rallies, but to do so after nearly being killed, and late at night, was a signal that he is stronger than ever. The contrast to President Joe Biden was implicit, but clear. With aides suggesting Biden is only at his prime from the hours
Former President Donald Trump is vowing to save the United States auto industry from President Joe Biden’s Electric Vehicle (EV) mandate in his speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC).
During his RNC speech on Thursday evening, Trump vowed to “end the Electric Vehicle mandate on day one — thereby saving the U.S. auto industry from complete obliteration, which is happening right now, and saving U.S. customers thousands and thousands of dollars per car.”
Trump mentioned that China is looking to build manufacturing plants in Mexico to produce EVs that they want to then sell in the U.S. market without any tariffs. United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain, who endorsed Biden
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump threatened countries and terrorist organizations currently holding American hostages in his speech Thursday at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
“To the entire world, we want our hostages back—and they better be back before I assume office, or you will be paying a very big price.”
Trump did not specify exactly which hostage-takers he was referring to, but the convention has emphasized the plight of the five American citizens still being held hostage by Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
The parents of Omer Neutra, an American citizen who is a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), addressed the convention on Wednesday night,
Just days after a smelly, pimply-faced incel tried to put a bullet in his head, President Trump accepted the Republican nomination for president.
He was surrounded by family and faithful Republicans, eager to help him make America great again. Hulk Hogan's speech made me want to take a hot-tub time machine back to April 19, 1775, and unload muskets at lobsterbacks at Lexington and Concord. Eric Trump's speech dropped truth bombs all over the joint. But President Trump transcended everything with a speech he reportedly wrote himself, days after a narcissistic animal tried to upend American history.
Don't believe the reports that Biden has conceded that he must leave the race.
He may eventually do so, but the Democrats are still piling on, which would definitely NOT happen if he really were writing a speech to leave the race to be delivered Sunday.
Democrats are still piling on, upping the pressure on Biden. The leaks out there indicating Biden is looking for a graceful exit are most definitely wrong. Mark Halperin, a former MSN reporter who is out on his own, has claimed that his sources have told him that Biden is preparing to exit the race. Lots of other media outlets
With much of the nation's attention on the Republican convention, some may not be keeping up with the Democrat civil war between the establishment and Joe Biden. Earlier in the day, Biden's campaign launched a nuclear blast at Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Barack Obama for attempting to lecture Biden on polling and his electoral standing. A campaign official told NBC's Mark Memoli that this triumvirate handed the 2016 election to Donald Trump by convincing Biden to step aside, and that their pressure campaign wouldn't work this time around.
The White House got into the act later, and perhaps a bit more diplomatically, in response to rumors
First Lady Melania Trump attended the Republican National Convention (RNC) in a custom red Christian Dior suit, styled by French designer Hervé Pierre.
Melania Trump attended the final night of the RNC to watch her husband, former President Donald Trump, accept the Republican Party nomination for president.
For the evening, Mrs. Trump wore a custom red Christian Dior suit. The blazer was previously donned by Mrs. Trump in Paris, France in 2017 when she met with France’s First Lady Brigitte Macron in her official capacity as first lady.
Mrs. Trump’s matching red skirt was also likely custom-made by Dior though tailored to be much slimmer
Milwaukee — Three and a half years ago, Donald Trump departed the White House feeling dejected by a narrow electoral loss that he refused to concede. The next two years looked similarly grim: Former allies launched primary campaigns against him, former donors stayed on the sidelines, and a sea of pundits predicted his campaign would be dead in the water come 2024.
But Thursday evening, he received a hero’s welcome from a convention audience that is completely unified behind him and feeling unusually confident in his chances of winning back the White House.

Donald Trump told the Republican National Convention (RNC) Thursday that, despite the pain and near-death experience of Saturday’s assassination attempt, he felt “serene” because “I had God on my side.”
President Trump began by thanking Americans for the love and support they’ve shown. “As you already know, the assassin’s bullet came within a quarter of an inch of taking my life. So many people have asked me what happened,” he said. “And therefore I will tell you exactly what happened, and you’ll never hear it from me a second time, because it’s actually too painful to tell.” Yet he said he felt God’s presence that day,
A large explosion rocked Tel Aviv overnight Thursday amid the war with Hamas.
The blast happened approximately one block from a U.S. embassy branch office.
Fox News foreign correspondent Trey Yingst was at the scene and shared video on X of him standing on broken glass that had shattered off a storefront. Yingst reported that emergency crews were checking a partially residential area to see if anyone had been injured by the blast. "I'm being very careful about the details," Yingst said, adding that he hadn't been able to speak with any sources yet because it's the middle of the night there. "We're trying to determine what exactly took place."

Washington — As President Joe Biden isolates at his Delaware beach home after testing positive for Covid-19, he is growing increasingly isolated from many corners of his Democratic Party as he faces deepening questions about whether he should continue his reelection campaign.
The announcement of Biden’s positive test on Wednesday came as calls from his party for him to step aside in the 2024 race are growing louder.//snip//“Defending Biden’s fitness for office is an untenable position for down-ballot Democrats,” according to a memo a leading Democratic research firm released Wednesday. It details that voters are “likely to see other Democrats’ defense of him as fit as dishonest” by a wide margin.
The University of Florida President Ben Sasse has announced his departure from the school due to his wife's recent health issues.
In a message posted on X, Sasse explained that his wife, Melissa, had been diagnosed with epilepsy in recent months and has been struggling with some memory issues.
Sasse said, "First, I’m a husband and dad. Second, I’ve been blessed to serve as president of the best dang public university in America – Go Gators! – and I’ve loved the challenge of giving this university everything I’ve got. But here’s the bottom line: Those callings are significantly at odds with each other right now.

It appears that MSNBC is shocked to see some of the biggest names in Republican politics conspicuously absent from the RNC.
Who are these conservative luminaries? (X Photo) Among the “notable Republicans” absent from the convention: George W. Bush, Mike Pence, Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney and Paul Ryan. (Photo) What an unfathomable loss; how can the convention go on without these critical thought leaders? More importantly, how could their consciences permit them to forsake the voters who look to them for leadership?
Democratic strategist James Carville on Thursday criticized the belief of some of former President Donald Trump’s backers that “God is protecting him” after surviving an assassination attempt on Saturday.
Trump survived the attempt on his life at his Pennsylvania rally after a bullet grazed his head, with some of the former president’s backers now believing that he is being protected by God, according to The New York Times. Carville on “Politics War Room” said he thinks this belief is “horseshit” and “a perversion,” adding that their religious perspective will lead to Trump destroying his enemies if reelected.
This was a surreal and amazing incident that unfolded tonight at the Republican National Convention.
Kimberly Cheatle, the director of the Secret Service, was confronted by Republican senators John Barrasso of Wyoming and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, who were demanding answers about the failure of the Secret Service to protect Donald Trump.
Kim Cheatle tried to run away but the senators chased after her, demanding answers.
This is just stunning. Watch below:
Austin Private Wealth, LLC, a Texas-based financial planning company, is being scrutinized after a social media post went viral that claimed they had put options on as many as 12 million shares of DJT shares just one day before the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
The investment firm denied the allegations and has now blamed a filing error for this controversial action. (Snip) If Trump did die in the assassination attempt, his company would have become worthless. It’s stock would have become Zero in a day. The people who bought Put Options would have made billions in profits.
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough all but called on President Biden to drop his re-election campaign Thursday — as the TV host ripped the commander-in-chief’s inner circle for keeping him in the race.
“This is not going to end well if it continues to drag out,” Scarborough said during a lengthy spiel on his “Morning Joe” talk show. Scarborough, who has staunchly defended the 81-year-old president in recent weeks despite the mounting calls for him to step aside, called on those closest to Biden to help him “do the right thing.”
“It’s really incumbent on people that are around Joe Biden to step up at this point and help
Former President Barack Obama is pressuring President Biden to reconsider his 2024 run for re-election, according to a new report.
Obama and Biden have only spoken once since the president’s debate debacle on June 27 — but stressed during that conversation that his old running mate’s chances of beating Donald Trump were “greatly diminished,” the Washington Post reported.
The 44th president also stressed that while Biden’s legacy was important to him, only his former vice president could make the call on whether to stay in the race. “Our campaign is not working through any scenarios where President Biden is not at the top of the ticket.
Sources tell Axios' Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen that Democratic party leaders and close friends of Joe Biden will convince him to bail out of the presidential contest as soon as this weekend.According to the report, Biden's defiance is strictly for public consumption. In private "he's resigned to mounting pressure, bad polls, and untenable scrutiny making it impossible to continue his campaign, the Democrats tell us."
Behind the scenes: The private message, distilled to its bluntest form: The top leaders of his party, his friends and key donors believe he can't win, can't change public perceptions of his age and acuity, and can't deliver congressional majorities.
Just when I think the media can’t get any dumber, folks like MSNBC’s Joy Reid prove me dead wrong.
In Reid’s latest tap-dancing routine for President Joe Biden, she responded to the news that he has COVID-19 – again. During the segment, she lauded Biden’s latest COVID diagnosis as an opportunity to attack former President Donald Trump, who is riding high after Saturday’s attempt on his life.
And not spread COVID around, but also to remind people of what hell we went through with COVID because of Donald Trump. Here is a great messaging opportunity for President Biden to bring out the tape and remind people of how many people died.
GOP Vice Presidential nominee and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance was the finale of day three at the RNC, and he spoke about his upbringing, unity, and free speech as he accepted the nomination to become Vice President of the United States of America.
Here is what Vance said when accepting the nomination to become VP:
And so tonight, Mr. Chairman, I stand here humbled and I'm overwhelmed with gratitude to say I officially accept your nomination to be Vice President of the United States of America.
When speaking about the assassination attempt on Trump, here is part of what Vance said:
Now consider what they said. They said he was a tyrant.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is reportedly urging President Joe Biden to end his campaign bid, according to ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl.
During an interview on air at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Karl discussed the “intensifying” pressure that has been building against Biden since his poor debate performance against former President Donald Trump in late June. Karl stated that within a private one-on-one meeting Saturday between the Democratic Senate Leader and Biden, Schumer allegedly “made the case” for the president to step aside as the nominee.
“I am told that the pressure from Democratic leaders for Biden to get out of the race is intensifying.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told President Biden in a private conversation that polling indicates he can’t beat Donald Trump in the 2024 election, according to a report.
Pelosi also conveyed to Biden, 81, that his continued presidential re-election campaign could destroy Democrats’ chances of winning the House in November, four sources told CNN.
The California congresswoman referred to several polls showing that Trump would beat the incumbent during their private conversation, the report said.
The Real Reason Trump Chose JD Vance
16 replies
Why did Donald Trump select JD Vance? Obviously, their current policy views are simpatico, but JD Vance was not supportive back in 2016. He was pretty harsh about Donald Trump the candidate. You know who else was? Me. Dig back through my columns and you’ll see. I was never a Never Trumper. I was always going to vote for the GOP nominee, and I did vote for the nominee. But I was a Ted Cruz guy because I didn’t think Donald Trump was actually going to do the things Donald Trump said he was going to do and I said so. In fact, CNN used to have me on
