in Atlanta Kills 2, Injures Another

Anyone who has worked as a mechanic (or has a loved one who has) knows that there are always dangers involved in that line of work. Families of mechanics hope and pray that nothing will befall their loved ones. Unfortunately, mishaps do happen. On Tuesday morning, a terrible accident at a Delta Airlines maintenance facility near Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport claimed the lives of two employees and severely injured another.

President Joe Biden left a week long California vacation Monday and headed back to the East Coast. His destination wasn't Washington D.C. or the White House. Instead, he's back in Delaware for an additional two weeks at the beach. His schedule remains blank after receiving the "president's daily brief." [Tweet]
The call time for reporters in Rehoboth, where Biden is staying in his beach house, was pushed to 11 am Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre is also missing in action and has no planned briefings on the schedule.
A violent Venezuelan prison gang known as Tren de Aragua has spilled into Aurora, Colorado, despite the fact that the city wanted “no part” in welcoming so-called “asylum seekers” as a result of President Joe Biden’s open border policies.
According to a report from the New York Post, Aurora has a population of 390,000 residents. Now, it’s become the base of operations for the gang, which has seized apartment complexes and instigated a crime wave.
In February, the Aurora City Council reportedly passed a resolution 7-3 stating that it will not provide resources for illegal immigrants brought into the town from neighboring cities, notably, Denver.
One of the great things about sports is that you can find quirky stories if you pay attention. And a fascinating story emerged on Monday in a baseball game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Boston Red Sox.
The Blue Jays and the Red Sox were playing on June 26 when a shower came up, which led the umpires to call the game. At the time, Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen was at bat, which meant that, according to baseball rules, he would resume his at-bat when the two teams rescheduled the game.
Both teams were able to find the time to schedule the rest of the game on Monday,

Allies of President Joe Biden didn’t want Kamala Harris as vice president in 2020. Democrat donors, party insiders, and the media were calling for her removal from the ticket when Biden’s 2024 campaign began.
Just last month a prominent progressive lawmaker admitted that “a lot of” Harris’s Democrat colleagues were openly calling for her removal.
It was so bad that the outcry for Kamala to be removed from the campaign was far more prevalent than those demanding the removal of Biden himself, despite the fact that he had clear cognitive and motor issues.
Think about that for a minute – The President of the United States was a clear and present danger
Most of us on the outside looking in last week knew the Democrat National Convention (DNC) would be nothing more than a giant choreographed circus. Nothing left to chance, nothing left unscripted. Many people, if they are not attending a political convention as delegates, participate as volunteers. It is a great way to see the process up close and personal: the good, the bad, and the ugly. But one young Democrat volunteer did not come away from her convention experience feeling fired up, energized, or ready to go out and campaign for the candidate of her choice. Instead, she feels the exact opposite.
Ever since he was selected by the Anointed One, Kamala Harris, to be her running mate in the 2024 presidential election, Tim Walz has come in for his share of heat — and he's pretty much had all of it coming. But, you know, it has to sting just a little more when that heat is coming from Minnesotans.
The Minnesota State Fair is going on this week, and among all the rides and vendors is the "Never Walz" booth, run by Action 4 Liberty MN, and they are giving the governor a piece of their minds — and drawing crowds while doing it.
Kamala Harris has some big problems to surmount in convincing people to vote for her.
She's too afraid, apparently, to enunciate her policies or even to do an interview or a press conference. She's so desperate she's even putting out an ad that is full of former President Donald Trump's wall that she was against. How does she think that any Americans will fall for that? That's an incredible admission of how wrong the Biden-Harris team has been and an acknowledgment that Trump was right.
The biggest problem that Harris has in the election is trying to explain to the American people why they should vote for her now
From curbside abortions to gender-neutral prayer rooms, so much insane stuff unfolded at the 2024 Democratic National Convention. One of these abhorrent moments apparently snuck under the radar — until now.
It turns out that a top Kamala Harris surrogate bashed the Bill of Rights as "that little piece of paper" and urged Democrats to "reimagine democracy" on Day 1 of the DNC.
Kelley Robinson, president of the far-left Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and a prominent supporter of Kamala Harris, made the appalling comments during a daytime session addressing "how defeating Donald Trump and the Project 2025 agenda rests on the engagement of the LGBTQ+ community."
"We can't just worry about protecting democracy.

At a time when we’re experiencing so many threats like an uncertain economy, threatened allies, and wars in multiple areas, it’s crucial for America to have a leader who is fully engaged and ready to take on any challenge. Unfortunately, we have Joe Biden.
Sure, he’s the lamest of lame ducks and is probably in “forget it” mode after the way the Democrats so unceremoniously forced him out of his reelection campaign, but you’d think that Biden would be around to address the many crises happening right now. Instead, he’s enjoying some kind of endless summer.

When it comes to "choice," it would appear that the Democrats want to limit one's choices to when and where one can have an abortion. That doctrine goes beyond the debate over when life occurs. Democrats are perfectly thrilled to limit one's choices everywhere else, including elections. If you are a progressive, you will have two options in the upcoming election: Harris-Walz or Harris-Walz. Or you can always write in Harris-Walz.
True, Harris landed on the ballot without so much as a primary or an election. But any leftists planning on voting against Trump may find themselves with few if any, options in their particular precincts.
Ronald Reagan famously warned us that "freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction." For many, this may have sounded like hyperbole, but in 2024 we find ourselves at a crossroads where that sentiment couldn't be more relevant. This time, freedom isn't just one generation away—it's one election away.
Make no mistake about it, the principles that have defined our nation for over two centuries—limited government, individual liberties, and free-market capitalism—are under siege. But now, the radical left is so emboldened that they no longer even try to hide their intentions; they openly advocate for policies that would fundamentally alter the fabric of our republic.

Left-Wing Salon Attacks MAGA Over Refusal

to Admit Ella Emhoff Is ‘Cute’ —
‘Unapologetic Misogyny’ 45 replies
MAGA’s attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris’s stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff, stem from “unapologetic misogyny” and “toxic masculinity,” as well as a refusal to “admit to themselves that she’s cute,” according to a left-wing Salon piece that accuses Trump’s team of seeking to “win over the worst men in the nation by appealing directly to their controlling, misogynist desires.”
The Tuesday essay, titled “MAGA attacks on Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter threaten to backfire on Donald Trump,” was penned by Salon senior politics writer Amanda Marcotte, who accused leading voices within the MAGA movement of “proving that they are weird” for their ongoing obsession with Kamala Harris’s stepdaughter.
A Tennessee 10-year-old was expelled from school for a full year after he pointed his finger in the shape of a gun and made mock "machine gun" noises, according to a ProPublica investigation.The boy was expelled as part of a "zero tolerance" law in Tennessee that mandates any student who makes a threat of "mass violence" be expelled for at least one year. While the law, originally signed in 2023—following a shooting by a former student at a private school in Nashville—was recently amended to direct schools to expel students only for "valid" threats, the provisions of the law are still vague, and schools have considerable enforcement leeway.
A conservative-backed push for stricter proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting could complicate efforts to avert a government shutdown next month.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have acknowledged a stopgap of some kind, also known as a continuing resolution (CR), will be necessary to keep the government funded past Sept. 30. But calls are growing among House conservatives to use that must-pass measure to force consideration of a partisan bill aimed at barring noncitizens from voting — laying the groundwork for a clash with the Democratic-led Senate, which would likely reject such a package.
Kamala Harris has yet to give a press conference or sit down with any journalist to discuss the construct of a campaign around her. The media has largely tried to cover for this lack of openness, but even hardcore narrative engineers are starting to become twitchy at the extreme handling of Hawk Tuah Harris.
To deflect attention from the absence of questioning, HT Harris primary handler Brian Fallon, has arranged a scripted interview with CNN. Together with her sketchy running mate, Tim Walz, Mrs Harris will be questioned by Dana Bash in a taped interview which will be edited, smoothed and broadcast on CNN fake news tomorrow at 9pm ET.
Home Depot partnered with an LGBTQ program that provided elementary students with information on "pansexual" identities and being "nonbinary."
In 2022, Home Depot announced one of its "Diversity Partnerships" was the Human Rights Campaign's "Welcoming Schools" program, which is a program to educate students on transgender and LGBTQ terms. The Welcoming Schools program offers K-12 lesson plans and other LGBTQ resources on its website – which were available before Home Depot announced the partnership.
Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign now claims she “does not support” Electric Vehicle (EV) mandates after years of supporting such mandates as a Senator and in her role in President Joe Biden’s administration.
According to The Spectator‘s Amber Duke, Harris’s campaign sent an email to supporters on Tuesday claiming “Vice President Harris does not support an electric vehicle mandate.”
The statement comes after years of Harris campaigning, championing, and supporting EV mandates that require automakers to produce and sell a certain percentage of EVs to American consumers.
Vice President Kamala Harris will give her first interview as the Democrats’ presidential nominee Thursday to CNN — in a high-stakes test of her ability to defend her record and policies after weeks of avoiding such an exchange.
But Harris, 59, won’t be on her own — with CNN promoting it as a “joint interview” featuring both Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Network anchor Dana Bash will conduct the interview — set to air at 9 p.m. ET— in Georgia, where Harris and Walz will be engaged in a bus tour of the battleground state.

High LDL (otherwise known as ‘bad’) cholesterol is considered a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, which together claim over 850,000 lives each year in the United States.
Hence, great efforts are expended in identifying high LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol in patients, and in lowering their levels.
But is cholesterol—and LDL cholesterol in particular—really the arch enemy of health that we’ve been led to believe?
“A person that has good, healthy levels of cholesterol means that their biochemical system is working in this particular spot—in terms of cholesterol regulation and (cholesterol) transport,” says biochemical researcher, Dr. Dayan Goodenowe.
A group of international scholars funded by the European Union were unable to define “sex” or “gender” after studying the topic for more than five years, but nevertheless concluded that both concepts should be incorporated into all academic research going forward.
“GENDER-NET Plus” is an initiative that, beginning in 2018, funded 13 transnational research projects with nearly 400 researchers from 12 countries. According to a grant agreement, the European Union awarded GENDER-NET Plus nearly $4.2 million.
As the various projects under the GENDER-NET Plus umbrella concluded, 40 researchers met for a two-day workshop
On Wednesday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” former Defense Secretary and former CIA Director Leon Panetta, who has endorsed 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris, stated that Harris was in the room when decisions about the Afghanistan withdrawal were made, but she was there “to listen” and doesn’t “bear the same responsibility that the President bears with regards to the final decision.”
Co-host Brianna Keilar asked, “So, Harris is going to be giving this interview on the eve of what is the third anniversary of America’s total withdrawal from Afghanistan. You spoke last week at the DNC, forcefully making the case for Harris as commander-in-chief.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation held a call with reporters Wednesday and detailed new information about the man, Thomas Crooks, who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024.
According to officials, who are still unwilling to confirm a motive, Crooks searched for both Biden and Trump events prior to attending the rally where he shot Trump in the ear, killed 50-year-old Corey Comperatore and severely wounded two more attendees. Investigators say they are certain Crooks acted alone and that
Democrat presidential and vice presidential nominees Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are set to engage in their first sit-down interview on Thursday with CNN, more than a month after Harris became the presumptive nominee.
Here are 31 questions, broken down by larger themes, that CNN’s Dana Bash could and should ask the duo during the joint interview:
ECONOMY:
1. Price controls typically result in shortages. Are your price control proposals for groceries not going to just create empty aisles and shelves?
2. Will providing every first-time home buyer with $25,000 cause the prices of homes to soar by a similar amount, rendering such an effort futile?

Tragic.
