Democrats Should Be Terrified of What
Bill Maher Just Said
Posted By: Dreadnought, 8/2/2026 12:26:49 PM
The Democrat Party is in real trouble. Just ask Bill Maher. Maher took direct aim at the Democratic Socialists of America and the wave of far-left candidates the party keeps promoting, and he did it by simply reading their own words back to the audience. "Trump has told 1 trillion lies, but when he says the DSA are actually communists, that's not one of them," Maher said. "And it's not hard to prove it just by quoting the DSA and their candidates." Maher recalled telling Vice President J.D. Vance that his vote was "in play" if the Democrat Party kept drifting toward the DSA, only to be mocked for it during his vacation.

In Twin Falls, Idaho, an utterly evil piece of human detritus opened fire at an In-N-Out burger shop, killing three and wounding at least seven (some critically), and, it appears, killing himself (although officials haven’t confirmed his cause of death). What seems to have ended the spree is when an armed civilian, at great risk to himself, started firing back, driving the shooter away from the scene. This is a recurring pattern: Mass shootings end, and shootings that are obviously intended to be mass casualty events cannot escalate, when an armed civilian is there to engage the shooter. This is not a slight to the police;

CAIRO — U.S. President Donald Trump said in a Saturday evening social media post he will order American forces to hold off on new strikes against Iran, claiming Mideast allies had reached the parameters of a deal to end the five-month old war.
The emerging deal “would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL,” Trump said.
A madman gunned down two people and wounded several others at a brand new In-N-Out Burger in Idaho on Saturday, sending panicked patrons running for their lives.
The shooter, who is among the dead, launched his rampage inside the burger joint in Twins Falls at around 2 p.m. local time before heading outside – in clear view of witnesses who recorded the harrowing scene.
Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said investigators were still working to determine the final number of people injured and did not say how many people may have been involved. Hicks also said officials believe “the threat to the community is over”
A new rival to Wall Street officially debuted on Friday as the Texas Stock Exchange went fully live for the first time with trading available for all of its listed tickers.

The exchange boasts several prominent financial backers, including BlackRock, Goldman Sachs and Charles Schwab, among others.
It currently plans to begin corporate listings later this year and intends to facilitate initial public offerings (IPOs) starting in 2027.
Tens of thousands of migrants voluntarily

leave after crossing into Spanish territory

CEUTA, Spain — Tens of thousands of migrants who crossed into Spain’s tiny Ceuta territory returned voluntarily to Morocco on Friday, a day after the influx triggered chaos in the North African city and reignited the immigration debate in Europe and beyond. At least 57 migrants died on the journey.
Ceuta’s president put the number of migrants at 60,000, which was equivalent to 70% of the territory’s population. But most of them soon went back, the Spanish government said, after the sudden arrival of so many people sparked a humanitarian crisis.
Some migrants swam several miles through the sea and faced down authorities
Washington — The United States and Israel are planning what would be one of the harshest bombing campaigns to date against energy infrastructure targets in Iran, multiple sources told CBS News, with strikes possible throughout the weekend.
There was some discussion about trying to conclude by the time financial markets open Monday because of concern about how the bombings will affect the U.S. and global economy, but an end point wasn't locked in.
The Israelis have been notified and are coordinating with the United States, according to multiple U.S. sources. The president has yet to give the final 'go' orders for the strikes, the sources said.
In the short span of a few hours, from noon to 4 p.m., the Spanish exclave city of Ceuta has been transformed: quiet streets have filled with barefoot young people, the lazy shade of public parks turned into massive open-air sleeping quarters; beaches once dotted with umbrellas and bikinis became crowded with migrants cooling off in the water. Ceuta was no longer the same city.
In a single day, thousands of migrants crossed from Morocco, either by swimming in open waters or by making their way around the breakwater that marks Spain’s border. The sudden influx has turned the city upside down and created an urgent management
As many as 60,000 illegal migrants from Africa have swarmed the Spanish territory of Ceuta after Spain’s Supreme Court ruled migrants intercepted at sea while trying to reach the area cannot be kicked out.
The ruling issued earlier this month — which applies to the Spanish autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla — said the migrants cannot be expelled under the territories’ special border-rejection regime.
Migrants climbed over border fences or swam to the territory’s shores. At least 34 people died trying to enter Ceuta.
Elon Musk Rides to the GOP's Midterm Rescue
14 replies
Elon Musk, the mercurial trillionaire, is planning another massive cash binge on behalf of the GOP's midterm campaign that might just be enough to keep the Republicans in power in the House and Senate.
In 2024, Musk dropped a cool $260 million to help elect Donald Trump. No word on exactly how much Musk is willing to shell out this election cycle, but it will only add to the Republicans' massive cash advantage over the Democrats for the November contests.
"GOP super PACs and committees have a $300 million-plus advantage over their Democratic counterparts — and that doesn't include the $400 million sitting in Trump's MAGA Inc. super PAC," reports Axios.
Less than 100 days before the midterms, voters are agitating for wholesale change in Congress and looking to the Democratic Party in hopes of making that happen.
Democrats lead Republicans on the generic ballot by 8 points among registered voters, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS. Democrats also continue to hold a significant advantage in voter enthusiasm and have a 20-point advantage in preferences among those who say they are extremely motivated to vote. More Americans say the country would be better off (38%) than worse off (33%) if Democrats were to take control of Congress this November, with 29% saying it wouldn’t make a difference.
About a third of Democrats and Democratic-leaning adults identify as democratic socialists, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.
They’re some of the party’s staunchest supporters, but many are also raring for a party overhaul at a time when democratic socialists are seeing new momentum at the polls.
Building on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s victory over Andrew Cuomo last year, candidates describing themselves as democratic socialists have secured the Democratic nomination in several US House races around the country, including defeats of incumbent Reps. Adriano Espaillat in New York and Diana DeGette in Colorado.

Call it pleading the thrift.
Hunter Biden claimed under oath earlier this year that he's so broke he doesn't even own a car or a cellphone, and said his family is too strapped for cash to help him pay off millions in unpaid legal bills.
The former first son painted a bleak picture of his own and of Biden family finances during a Feb. 9 deposition in his legal battle with powerhouse law firm Winston Taylor, which sued Biden in June 2025 for allegedly stiffing the firm out of $17 million accrued from representing Biden in federal criminal cases, congressional investigations, and defamation lawsuits Biden brought against his enemies.

Nearly one in five Americans identifies as Catholic, yet many dioceses across the country have closed or consolidated parishes this year due to declining mass attendance, fewer people taking priestly vocations and rising maintenance costs.
The most intense reductions are occurring primarily in the Midwest and Northeast, specifically in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.

President Donald Trump in a Saturday evening social media post claimed that Mideast allies have reached the parameters of a deal to end the Iran war and said that he would hold off on ordering new strikes in the five-month old conflict for now.
Trump added that the emerging deal “would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat.”
“Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL,” Trump said.
A man who spent years trading on his father's name, collecting millions from foreign business deals, selling paintings to anonymous buyers, and leaning on a Hollywood fixer to cover his bills, now claims he cannot afford a car or a cell phone. Hunter Biden testified under oath that he owns no stocks, bonds, or savings account. His paintings, he said, are the only things he has left that might be worth anything.
The admissions came during a Feb. 9 deposition in Hunter Biden’s legal battle with Winston Taylor, formerly Winston & Strawn. His attorneys released the transcript while fighting the firm’s demand for communications involving people who may have been asked
The 25th anniversary of 9/11 is just over a month away, and the families of those murdered in the World Trade Center are making plans for a dignified remembrance of their loved ones on this painful and solemn occasion. There's just one problem: New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani insists on being there despite the growing chorus from the families telling him to stay far away. They'd rather not have a practicing Muslim and avowed socialist mar the day that belongs to them and their memories – feelings that are completely understandable.
Here's what I wrote about this a few days back in a VIP article:
Spanish Transport Minister Óscar Puente fueled online claims blaming Israel for Spain’s migrant crisis in the North African enclave of Ceuta on Friday after Israeli U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon criticized Madrid’s handling of the border emergency, escalating an already tense diplomatic dispute between Jerusalem and Spain. The exchange followed Danon’s criticism of Spain after Madrid declared a state of emergency and deployed military forces to Ceuta following an unprecedented surge of migrants crossing into the Spanish enclave from neighboring Morocco. Puente’s cryptic response helped fuel conspiracy theories circulating on Spanish social media alleging Israel — and in some cases the United States — was behind the crisis.
Tens of thousands of migrants, mostly young men, descended on Ceuta on Thursday, with shocking video showing people walking, swimming and scrambling over barriers into Spanish territory as Moroccan border guards appeared unable to stop them On Friday it was estimated that up to 60,000 Moroccans had arrived in Ceuta in the past 24 hours, encouraged by a ruling from Spain’s supreme court that those who swam into the city could not immediately be turned back. …
Groups of young men were seen wandering the territory’s streets, looking for food and water. The beaches were covered in floats, rubber rings and discarded clothing.
Seattle being Seattle, it was only a matter of time before a simple show of support for biological reality in women's sports sparked backlash. On Tuesday night, before the Indiana Fever faced the Seattle Storm, dozens rallied outside Climate Pledge Arena in support of Fever guard Sophie Cunningham. She had recently spoken out in favor of keeping men's sports separate from women's, a view rooted in basic biology and fairness. The fans carried signs and wore shirts affirming that stance. Inside the arena, two 16-year-old girls holding signs that read "Thank you Sophie for speaking up for girls" found themselves targeted.
They gave him the Zo-ld shoulder.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani was snubbed from eulogizing Army Sgt. Angel Sarah Rampersad at the fallen soldier’s Queens funeral Friday — and the embarrassing scene unfolded in real time as he fumed while waiting in vain to give his speech, sources revealed.
Mamdani, who was relegated to the fourth row in the Ozone Park church, appeared to be reviewing his planned remarks on an iPad while Gov. Kathy Hochul and other dignitaries, including Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, were called to speak, a source in attendance said.
“They kept calling names and then he was never called,” the source said.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez broadly blasted fellow European leaders for their response to the surge of tens of thousands of migrants from Morocco to the Spanish border, seemingly criticizing Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for deciding to resume European border controls in the wake of the incident.
Sánchez appeared to take issue with Italy's decision to temporarily suspend Schengen Area free-travel arrangements with Spain. The Schengen Area is an agreement between 29 European countries that abolishes passport controls and allows people to travel across European borders without providing documents.
"In the current international context, the European Union cannot afford this kind of selfish, polarising and unlawful reaction,"
New York Plunges New Depths

At the end of May, the New York State Assembly introduced Assembly Bill A11509. The proposal would permanently prohibit anyone born after December 31, 2007, from purchasing tobacco or nicotine products for the rest of their lives.
In practice, the State is claiming permanent ownership over the autonomy of part of its population. It is deciding today that these individuals will never be considered capable of making their own choices. The distinction it creates is not based on any assessment of individual responsibility or capacity. It rests solely on an arbitrary date of birth.
Scott Galloway is a left wing political commentator and professor at NYU. He hates President Trump and has never heard a far left policy he didn’t like.
But now he is complaining that he has been hit with Zohran Mamdani’s new pied-à-terre tax, which hits New Yorkers who own a valuable second home.
Galloway is complaining that he has been ‘doxed’ because his name appears in the Mamdani administration’s searchable database for these properties. Prominent liberal podcaster and NYU professor Scott Galloway called out New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s publicly accessible database, saying it endangers landowners like himself.
