Vice President Harris is holding a narrow lead over former President Trump ahead of the Democratic National Convention next week, according to a new poll. The ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll found Harris has 49 percent of support among registered voters while Trump has 45 percent and 5 percent said they would back someone else. This shows Harris pulling ahead, as a previous ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted last month showed President Biden and Trump tied at 46 percent of support each. Harris also holds a thin lead over Trump when third-party candidates are added to the mix. The poll showed Harris with 47 percent of support, Trump with 44 percent

Joe Biden was, on some level, wrapping up his political career during his DNC speech on Monday night. He had expected to give the keynote address on Thursday. That was before the coup, when he was shoved aside and replaced by Kamala Harris as the nominee. So, you can imagine he's not a happy camper when it comes to that.
It was perhaps appropriate that the day was a mess with protesters breaching the security fence, attacking the police, and getting arrested. Then, Biden made weird comments about former President Donald Trump, claiming his "stability" was still a question. Um, Joe? It isn't Trump whose stability is in question
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made her entrance on the stage of the Democrat National Convention in Chicago to Sara Bareilles' song, "Brave," followed by a standing ovation and a ton of applause. Next to AOC's speech, this was the most energy exhibited at what has been a fairly lackluster Night 1 of the DNC.
Clinton noted the rise in energy.
Wow. There's a lot of energy in this room, just like there is across the country! Something, something is happening in America! You can feel it. Something we've worked for and dreamed of for a long time.
First, though, let's salute President Biden.
A poll shows former President Donald Trump leading Vice President Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania on the eve of the Democratic National Convention (DNC).
Surveying 800 likely voters between August 18 and 19, 2024, with a ± 3.5 percent margin of error, the Insider Advantage poll shows Trump besting Harris by just one point — 47 percent to 46 percent. As Breitbart News reported on Monday, the poll comes just before the former president mounts a major offensive in battleground states like Pennsylvania, which will likely have an effect on the polling over the next month in lead up to the November election.

Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton took shots at her former political rival during her speech at the Democratic National Convention on Monday evening, at one point even presiding over a “lock him up” chant from the crowd of assembled delegates.
Like many of the convention speakers before her, Clinton emphasized Trump’s recent hush-money conviction, prompting a raucous “lock him up” chant from the crowd of assembled delegates, a reference to the 2016 “lock her up” chant popular at Trump rallies.

Harley-Davidson on Monday said it is ditching some of its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) goals, a move that comes after it faced pressure from anti-diversity critics on social media.
The iconic motorcycle manufacturer follows John Deere & Co. and Tractor Supply, which both made similar decisions to scratch their diversity programs earlier this summer.
In a message posted to X, Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson said it currently has no "DEI function" and has not operated such a program since April 2024. The company added that it has no hiring quotas and no longer has "supplier diversity spend

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,

Law enforcement agencies are upping protective measures ahead of the Democratic National Convention (DNC), which starts on Monday in Chicago, Illinois.
"Protective fencing is up, street closures are beginning and local and federal law enforcement officials say Chicago is prepared as Democrats begin to descend on the city for the party's convention," ABC7 reported
Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz used favorable language to describe Chinese communism when teaching a high school social studies class in 1991, according to an unearthed article in Nebraska’s Alliance Times-Herald.
Walz told students that, under communism, “everyone shares” and gets free food and housing from the government, according to the resurfaced newspaper piece first reported by the Washington Free Beacon. Just two years before the article was published, China’s communist government massacred pro-democracy student protesters in Tiananmen Square, with death counts ranging from several hundred to thousands, according to the BBC.
People protesting the Democratic National Convention (DNC) were seen marching through the streets of Chicago dressed as abortion pills.
Video footage posted on X showed protesters dressed in white outfits, appearing to look like abortion pills with the words “MIFE” and “MISO” written on them.
“MIFE” stands for mifepristone, which is “the first of two medications used in a medication abortion.”
“MISO” stands for misoprostol and is the “second medication” in a medical abortion, according to Planned Parenthood’s website.
My flak jacket is on as I write this since I am sure to offend or p*** off some friends, family, and colleagues who are ostensibly Republicans or conservatives but have a visceral aversion to Donald Trump.
Some tell me they are Republican and miss Ronald Reagan but also admit they “couldn’t” vote for Donald Trump in either 2016 or 2020. Nothing says one is Republican like voting for a liberal Democrat.
This is the NeverTrump wing of the Republican Party, emerging shortly after Trump secured the GOP nomination in 2016. Reasons for NeverTrump-ism are myriad.
Some were offended by his mean tweets, name-calling, and brash Queens personality.

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.

So here we go again.
Having once again convened and received guidance from his hand-selected advisory board (snip), WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has declared a Mpox outbreak to be a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC)” for the second time in two years.(snip)Please keep in mind that Tedros is not a physician, not a virologist, not a trained public health officer, not an immunologist, and most definitely not an expert in any of the above. He sort of just plays one on TV. He most definitely is a well-connected African political operator of the CCP/Marxist/Bill Gates
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are making stops in western Pennsylvania on their bus tour ahead of the DNC convention in Chicago, which begins on Monday.

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
The organizers behind a mobile health clinic offering free abortions and vasectomies near where thousands of people are gathering for the Democratic National Convention in Chicago are pushing back amid outrage from conservatives.
Planned Parenthood Great Rivers announced it was bringing its mobile health clinic to Chicago and offering free services to those who signed up on August 19 and 20, which are the first two days of the convention.
Before the clinic even arrived, they announced that all of the appointments had been filled and that they would follow up if they had cancelations but the move sparked an avalanche of criticism online.
