Scottie Scheffler delivered the best performance of his greatest year by rallying from four shots behind on Sunday with a 9-under 62 to win the Olympic gold medal in men's golf in a thriller at Le Golf National. Already a six-time winner on the PGA Tour this year, including his second Masters title, Scheffler added Olympic gold to an astonishing season with a round that kept some 30,000 fans on edge for a wild final two hours. The world's No. 1 player had plenty of help. Jon Rahm of Spain had a four-shot lead over Tommy Fleetwood when he stepped on the 11th tee.

Like pro basketball and pro tennis, pro golf is in the Olympics to garner higher television ratings. Nothing more.

I have boycotted the Olympics, so I didn't see this. Scottie Scheffler is my favorite golfer. Congrats to him. He's a champion and a gentleman and does play a pretty good game of golf. Smile.

Politically speaking, I've never been more happy to be wrong. For the better part of a week, all signs pointed to Josh Shapiro being the vice presidential choice for Kamala Harris. Never mind that he, by far, made the most electoral sense. Shapiro is a popular governor in the must-win state of Pennsylvania. Had he been on the ticket, it would have been an exceptionally difficult obstacle for Donald Trump to overcome. Yet, in a surprise move, Harris chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, almost certainly because Shapiro is Jewish and the far-left antisemites in the Democratic Party have been in the middle of throwing a fit over his possible selection.

There's been a lot of reaction to Kamala Harris's selection of Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) as her running mate, and one of my favorites comes from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who destroyed Tim Walz and his abysmal record as governor of Minnesota. "We all remember the [Black Lives Matter] riots of 2020 in Minneapolis," he said during a press conference in Steinhatchee, Fla., on Tuesday morning. "Those were riots that Harris egged on and raised money to bail out the rioters with the Minnesota bail fund. And they were riots that Tim Waltz, as governor, sat back and let happen. He sat back and let the city of Minneapolis burn.

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Joe Biden will attempt to reclaim the Democratic nomination after it was “stolen” by Kamala Harris. This comment comes in light of recent announcements confirming Harris’s position as the Democrat presidential nominee, following a controversial series of events leading to Biden’s abrupt withdrawal from the 2024 race. Last week, DNC Chair Jaime Harrison announced that Harris has amassed enough delegates to secure her place at the top of the ticket, with final results expected to be confirmed on Monday. Despite never winning a primary election, Harris has now found herself positioned as the official Democrat nominee.

One of the terrific perks of being a member of the Left is that you get to enjoy immunity from the things you say and do. You can count on the media and your fellow travelers to justify your words and actions, minimize their impact, or even make them disappear on command. This is particularly true if you happen to be a high-ranking member of the progressive movement — especially an elected one. But Ilhan Omar, Jamaal Bowman, and the ever-effervescent AOC are facing a class-action lawsuit by a group of anonymous Columbia students for stoking the fires of antisemitism at the school earlier this year.

Putting some context data together before a video that should concern everyone. Representative Jamie Raskin’s (U-MD) son, Tommy Raskin killed himself right after the 2020 election at the age of 25. Congressman Raskin was diagnosed with cancer in 2022, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Raskin is an angry bitter man of intemperate disposition, the archetype nihilist. As hate consumes him, his physical persona changes with the manifestation of evil enterprise. While his cancer is in reported remission, I would anticipate it to resurface in early 2025, after Baal has finished using him.

Throughout the coverage, Walz would be called a “moderate” who can win over Republicans and a "progressive" who can appease Muslim and Arab voters upset with President Joe Biden on Israel while also being lauded for looking “like a lot of dads,” while the Harris-Walz ticket was described as a “beautiful mosaic.” White House correspondent Gabe Gutierrez’s biography of Walz recalled, “After moving to Minnesota, he volunteered for John Kerry’s presidential campaign, and in an upset, he was elected to Congress in 2006.

Both groups are backed by Iran, which has sworn revenge. Biden will also speak to Jordan’s King Abdullah II, the White House said,

The liberal media wants to make Donald Trump’s comments about Kamala Harris’ race a significant point as we enter the final months of the 2024 election. It’s a tacit acknowledgment that the Democratic Party is underwater with groups that usually vote overwhelmingly for them in elections. They need something to jolt the base—and this subject matter could do it. That’s why I’m admittedly nervous: personal attacks on Kamala do nothing but energize liberals. Trump said that Kamala carried herself as Indian before becoming black after her national profile increased at last
