WASHINGTON — U.S. intelligence officials said Monday they were confident that Iran was responsible for the hack of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, casting the cyber intrusion as part of a brazen and broader effort by Tehran to interfere in American politics and undermine faith in democratic institutions.
Although the Trump campaign and private-sector cybersecurity investigators had previously said Iran was behind the hacking attempts, it was the first time the U.S. government had assigned blame for the attack.
The joint statement from the FBI and other federal agencies also indicated that Iran was responsible for attempts to hack Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, saying hackers had “sought access

To the casual election observer, there's a natural tendency to assume that when one political candidate rises in the polls, his or her opponent falls. While that's often the case, it's not always the case. The latter appears to be true in multiple respected national polls on the Trump-Harris race.
Kamala Harris’ rise in the polls isn’t due to a wave of voters abandoning Donald Trump, but rather, Democrats and Independents who were reluctant to vote for Joe Biden who are giving Harris a new look. Unfortunately, that new look is tightly controlled by the liberal lapdog media, who continue to all but hide Harris in witness-protection-like

It’s less noticed and discussed that Kamala Harris’ refusal to do sit-down on-camera interviews or press conferences, but her running mate, Tim Walz, hasn’t done a single one, either. (No, an on-camera chat with Harris about “white guy tacos” does not count. The San Francisco Chronicle labeled that an “interview,” even though the two candidates were talking to each other.)
Think about it, Harris has been the de facto nominee for almost a month, and Walz has been Harris’ running mate for nearly two weeks now. Neither one has done a single interview or press conference – no sit down with 60 Minutes, no meeting

While Democrats party as they coronate Vice President Kamala Harris in Chicago this week, former President Donald Trump’s campaign is going on offense in the battleground states.
Trump has major events planned every day of the week, focusing on drawing a contrast between the radical views of Democrats like Harris and Republicans like him. “The Trump campaign is going full bore against the Kamala campaign and highlighting all the disastrous policies she implemented for the last four years,” a Trump campaign official told Breitbart News. “She can’t hide from her radical record.”

Kamala Harris was cruising to victory — if the press was to be believed — running a "vibes" campaign with less content than a hobo's day-old can of Sterno. So why did she make a hard left turn just days before her re-anointment as the Democratic presidential nominee?
("Re-anointment" because, this year, the DNC is nothing more than "democratic" window-dressing over the vape-filled room cabal that made her the nominee after forcing President Joe Biden out.)
In case you missed it, Harris on Friday unveiled her economic agenda, which amounts to the federal takeover of pretty much the entire economy in the name of fighting "price-gouging." How those would work in practice

The Democrats have a weird way of being unifying and uplifting; they think that if they demonize half of the American electorate, they are somehow inspiring. We saw it with Hillary’s “Basket of Deplorables” and Obama’s disgust with Americans who “cling to guns or religion.” Such elitist hatred reared its head again with Biden’s 2022 “Red Speech,” where he invoked Third Reich-like theatrics and accused Republicans of being a force that “threatens the very foundations of our republic….”
He was just as divisive in his 2024 State of the Union speech, where he basically called Supreme Court justices enemies of the nation.

Sunday was a banner day for the Harris campaign. After weeks of carefully curated events, the vice president turned presidential nominee went off-script multiple times, reminding Americans why they once ranked her the most unpopular major politician in the country.
After delivering a word salad on the "duality of democracy," a line she's used many times before, she then explained to a high school football team that they can be "undefeated" even if they don't win a game. It was vintage Kamala Harris, punctuated by a visit to a gas station that left people wincing. I don't know about you, but I was going to vote for no price controls,

More than 170,000 migrants crossed President Joe Biden’s borders in July, but the TV networks and establishment media pretend the inflow was just 56,048 migrants during the run-up to the 2024 election.
The July 2024 inflow of more than 170,000 migrants is triple the number touted by Biden’s pro-migration border chief and his media allies. It is also four times the 40,000 illegal migrants who appeared at President Donald Trump’s southern border in July 2020.
Most of the 170,000 migrants are being welcomed into the United States under a series of recently invented and quasi-legal pathways.
That legal maneuver

Secretary of State Antony Blinken met Monday with Israeli officials and pushed for a hostage and ceasefire deal as Democrats kicked off their convention in Chicago, with the goal of a deal by the end of the week.
President Joe Biden laid out the end-of-week goal on Saturday, and Blinken claimed that it was the “last opportunity” for an agreement — though it was not clear why, other than the political goal of reaching a deal during the convention.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog met with Blinken, and told the media afterwards that Hamas, not Israel, was blocking a hostage deal:
We are surrounded by terror

British tech giant Mike Lynch, his lawyer and four other people are among those missing after their luxury superyacht sank during a freak storm off Sicily early Monday, Italy’s civil protection and authorities said. Lynch’s wife and 14 other people survived.
Lynch, who was acquitted in June in a big U.S. fraud trial, was among the six people who remain unaccounted for after their chartered sailboat sank off Porticello, when a tornado over the water known as a waterspout struck the area overnight, said Salvo Cocina of Sicily’s civil protection agency. One body has been recovered, and police divers were trying to reach the hull

The FBI arrested Washington, DC, Council member Trayon White Sr. on Sunday on charges that have not yet been made clear.
The council’s chairman and two other sources confirmed the arrest to the Washington Post on Sunday. Per the report:
Council Chairman Phil Mendelson (D) said the arrest occurred about 2 p.m. He said he was previously unaware that White was under investigation.
White, a Democrat who was first elected in 2016, represents Ward 8 in Southeast Washington.
The circumstances of the arrest, which occurred Sunday, and the nature of the allegations against White were not immediately clear.
