Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good Loses Contested
Reelection Bid By 370 Votes, Recount Confirms
Posted By: earlybird, 8/3/2024 12:40:26 PM
A Thursday recount by Virginia officials determined that House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good narrowly lost his reelection bid to former state Sen. John McGuire during the commonwealth’s recent primary elections. The final results from the Good-requested recount confirmed McGuire won the battle to become the GOP nominee for Virginia’s 5th Congressional District by 370 votes. That’s four votes fewer than the 374 vote-lead McGuire had following the state’s initial tally of the June 18 race. The former state senator will now face Democrat Gloria Witt this November.

Gee whiz, how soon they forget, and how the headlines change quicker than a pole dancer’s favors from a sucker tossing twenty-dollar bills to the one with the C-notes. I am referring to last week’s captions about Biden’s mumbling and rambling, the creepy whispering, the misnomers and forgetfulness, the whole hullabaloo that had nothing to do with Biden being unable to perform his duties, but whether he was able to beat the enemy of mankind, Donald J. Trump.
It all changed quicker than you can say John Wilkes Booth, Oswald, or Crooks, for that matter. Until last Saturday it was a modern Hitler who threatened our way of life,
A Chinese citizen was arrested this week after police said he repeatedly tried to get into former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach while he claimed that he had documents that tie his home country's government to the July 13 assassination attempt on the Republican nominee for president.
Zijie Li, 38, of El Monte, California, faces a misdemeanor trespassing charge in the incident, which occurred Wednesday, and remained at the Palm Beach County Jail on Thursday morning on a $3,000 bond, according to court records.
According to jail records, this is the first security-related arrest at Mar-a-Lago since July 13, when a gunman shot at Trump as he spoke
Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, hired Iranian security agents to plant explosives in three separate rooms of a building where a Hamas leader was staying, The Telegraph has learned.
The original plan was to assassinate Ismail Haniyeh, the political head of the Palestinian terror group, in May when he attended the funeral of Ebrahim Raisi, Iran’s former president.

This is a little awkward. Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker appears to have accidentally posted a video on her X-account celebrating Kamala choosing Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as her Vice-Presidential nominee. [Source Link] A little awkward. (Video)
Another day, another bundle of noncitizen voter registrations discovered on state voting rolls. But there’s still nothing to see here — so say the left and their election integrity-denying accomplices in corporate media.
On Thursday, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced he was directing local elections officials to remove nearly 500 foreign national registrations from Ohio’s voter rolls. The suspected illegal registrations were detected as part of a statewide audit of Ohio’s voter registration database.
The U.S. economy created fewer jobs than expected while the unemployment rate increased, signaling that the labor market could be going through a rapid deceleration at a time when the Federal Reserve could soon be cutting interest rates.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there were 114,000 new jobs in July, down from 179,000 in June. This fell short of the consensus estimate of 175,000.
The unemployment rate rose to 4.3 percent, up from 4.1 percent, and higher than economists’ expectations of 4.1 percent. This represents the highest jobless rate since October 2021.
President Joe Biden announced new rules on July 31 that make millions more borrowers eligible for student loan debt relief.
“Today, my Administration took another major step to cancel student debt for approximately 30 million Americans,” Biden said.
“We won’t stop fighting to provide relief to student loan borrowers, fix the broken student loan system, and help borrowers get out from under the burden of student debt.”
Norah O’Donnell, anchor and managing editor of CBS Evening News, announced on Tuesday she is stepping down from her current role.
“After this year’s election, I’ve decided I will be leaving my role as anchor and managing editor of the CBS Evening News to take on a new position at the network,” O’Donnell wrote in a letter shared with her colleagues.
O’Donnell emphasized her gratitude for the past five years with the Evening News team. She recalled achieving many milestones with them, including earning Emmy, Murrow, and DuPont awards, anchoring through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, and interviewing Pope Francis.
Illegal aliens do not need to vote (per se’), they only need to exist in a captured state database as physical persons. Their personage is then shifted to voter rolls, that then generate ballots.
Any state or federal system that links a physical identity to the secretary of state voter rolls is good. Any system, like the USPS postal change of address system, that would remove physical identities from the state voter rolls is not useful. The goal is to maximize the number of systems that generate registration, that eventually generates ballots.
Beyond the Driver’s License/State ID issue (motor-voter), it’s everything. Sign up for public assistance, get registered
The t*t-for-tat will take place in the open, yet few will pay attention. We do.
You have to take this announcement in full context: (1) Sanctions against Russia failed. (2) NATO expanded, creating more provocation. (3) NATO pledged Ukraine NATO membership. (4) Biden then pledged new long-range missiles will be located in Germany in 2026 able to reach all of Russia. (5) Russia sailed a nuclear submarine into Cuba; and (6) Yesterday, Vladimir Putin pledged to put nuclear weapons close to the USA (likely Cuba) if Biden puts long-range missiles in Germany.
OK, that’s the escalation timeline. That’s the lead up to this next announcement.
Former Attorney General Bill Barr did not improperly pressure prosecutors to reduce sentencing recommendations for political activist Roger Stone, according to a new government watchdog report. The exoneration of Barr came more than four years after a deluge of media reports alleging wrongdoing.
However, J.P. Cooney, a Justice Department official now serving as Special Counsel Jack Smith’s top deputy, cultivated a politically toxic environment, disseminated baseless conspiracy theories about Trump and his political appointees, and engaged in unprofessional conduct as he oversaw the team making sentencing recommendations, according to the same report.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that she thinks President Biden should be added to Mount Rushmore during an interview with CBS News aired on Sunday.
"He was in a good place," she said about Biden. "Top of his game. Such a consequential president of the United States. A Mount Rushmore kind of president of the United States."
"You've got Teddy Roosevelt up there -- and he's wonderful. I'm not saying take him down, but you can add Biden," Pelosi said. Pelosi also denied making any calls to force Biden from power: "He knows that I love him very much."

Olympic boxing sunk to a new low last week. An Algerian boxer with XY chromosomes – the ordinary definition of “male” – and commensurate male testosterone levels – beat up a woman in front of thousands of cheering spectators.
The woman who was beat up had to quit 46 seconds into the match, apparently with a broken nose. In tears, she said in her native Italian “not fair, not fair” and explained afterward that she’d “never been hit so hard in my life.”
The XY boxer was declared the winner. Yesterday, the XY boxer won again in a decision where all three judges favored the XY boxer in all three rounds
Less than a year after Judicial Watch reported that the Taliban has established fake nonprofits to steal millions of dollars in U.S. aid to Afghanistan, a new investigation reveals that the terrorist group has also received hundreds of millions in development assistance from Uncle Sam because the State Department fails to properly vet award recipients. At least $239 million have likely filled the coffers of the extremists running the Islamic republic since the 2021 U.S. military withdraw, according to a report published this month by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR). The money was disbursed by State Department
Furious bikers have turned their back on iconic motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson, accusing its CEO of 'going woke.'
The growing movement - spearheaded by conservative influencer Robby Starbuck - cites CEO Jochen Zeitz's support for hardline policies on trans care for kids, critical race theory, climate change and diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.
Starbuck, 35, is now demanding the company drop its CEO - and is rallying motorcycle enthusiasts to his cause at the largest bikers' event in the world, the 84th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota.
'Bikers @SturgisRally are going to be spreading the word about this,' Starbuck vowed last week, just days before the 10-day event kicked off.
An account of the terrors of working for Vice President Kamala Harris during the days she was a U.S. senator has resurfaced.
Terry McAteer, whose son worked briefly for Harris in a long-ago summer internship, wrote an op-ed for The Union in 2019 when Harris was in the midst of her failed campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.
This is not exactly a startling revelation.
In 2021, as Harris’s staff was heading for the exit one after the other, Politico wrote a piece describing the vice president’s office as a hotbed of dysfunction.

Kyle Rittenhouse, the conservative campaigner who shot two men during a Black Lives Matter protest nearly four years ago, flip-flopped this week on whether he would be voting for Former President Donald Trump in the November election.
Rittenhouse, 21, took to X on Thursday, to declare his intentions to instead write in former Libertarian presidential nominee Ron Paul, who is not running for president.
“Unfortunately, Donald Trump had bad advisors making him bad on the Second Amendment and that is my issue,” said Rittenhouse. “If you cannot be completely uncompromisable on the Second Amendment I will not vote for you.”

Former President Donald Trump’s July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania — where he survived an assassination attempt — was the first time the Secret Service sent a counter-sniper to a Trump event to protect the 45th president, the agency admitted.

Second Gentleman Douglass Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, criticized “toxic masculinity” in an interview with MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart conducted Tuesday. (snip)
DOUGLAS EMHOFF, SECOND GENTLEMAN OF THE UNITED STATES: "Oof. This is something I have thought about a lot, I’ve spoken about a lot. There’s too much of toxicity — masculine toxicity out there, and we’ve kind of confused what it means to be a man, what it means to be masculine. (snip) I think it’s a problem and I am going to continue to use this platform every time I get to speak out against this toxic masculinity that is out there."
Vice President Kamala Harris refused to accept former President Donald Trump’s invitation to a September 4 debate on Fox News a day after she officially became the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee. Despite declining Trump's invitation, Harris indicated she would debate Trump on one condition: if ABC News hosted the event.
ABC News is historically known for leaning more Democrat, while Fox News, although not always a Trump fan, lean more right.
“Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out.
