Wary waiting
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the start of a cabinet meeting Sunday that “Israel is in a multifront war against Iran’s axis of evil. We are striking every one of its arms with great force. We are prepared for any scenario – both offensively and defensively.”

Nearly two weeks have passed since Iran vowed to attack Israel over the assassination of a Hamas leader in Tehran.

The region is still on edge.

Israel is prepared for attacks launched from either Iran or any of its proxies. The US has a dozen warships in the region with the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln and a nuclear sub on the way. Leaders of both Iran and Hezbollah have sworn revenge for the recent killings of terrorist leaders in Beirut and Tehran. Other countries in the region are on edge. The foreign minister of Jordan made a rare visit to Tehran on Sunday. European nations are concerned. In the meantime, even after a number of US military personal have been injured, the US State Department keeps pressuring Israel to make deals. Thus far Iran has yet to strike.

Surprise attack: Last week Ukraine surprised the world by invading the Kursk region of Russia. Kursk will always be remembered as the scene of a legendary WWII battle between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. The seizing of this territory leaves Ukraine with some interesting possibilities. Will Russia divert some of its forces from the Ukraine front to try and recover Russian territory?  Will holding this territory give Ukraine some leverage in a deal with Russia?  The big question for Ukraine is whether it will be worth trying to hold. Sacrificing a lot of military resources could spell disaster.



With 83 days to the election the Harris campaign and our dishonest media show no signs of letting Kamala do an interview. The media is in the tank for Kamala Harris and is dedicated to her election. Next week is the DNC convention. Can they get away with this just like they got away with hiding Joe Biden during the 2020 election?  

Meanwhile Donald Trump gave a live interview on X.

13themorning-trump-musk-jumbo.jpg

It was a two-hour interview conducted by Elon Musk. Unfortunately, Trump is still chasing the shiny objects, such as the way the dems pushed Biden out and brought Harris in without any voting. He did manage to attack the Biden/Harris record and the Harris ideology, but not enough for my taste.


In the news:

The F.B.I. is investigating an apparent hack of the Trump campaign. The hack is likely the work of Iran, which fears a Trump Presidency.

A judge ruled that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could not be included on a New York ballot because he had used a “sham” address to maintain his New York residency. Kennedy vowed to appeal.

Representative Mike Kelly, who was in the crowd during the Trump assassination attempt, is now leading a bipartisan task force  that will help investigate the shooting.

The SCOTUS is now considering an Arizona voting bill requiring proof of citizenship.

Good morning.

The question remains: Can they pull it off?

front-cover-08122024.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=440

"Multiple reports say “Vice President Kamala Harris, currently running for president without an agenda, plans to ‘flip the script, on the border,”  marvels the Washington Examiner’s Byron York . The idea is “to find a way to avoid blame for the Biden-Harris administration’s welcoming, encouraging, and accommodating more than 10 million illegal and unvetted border crossers who have entered the United States since Harris took office.” Yet “she has played a key role in border affairs in the last 3½ years”; this is “a disaster entirely of the president’s and vice president’s making. That will not change. One cannot ‘flip the script’ on a disaster.” “A candidate with an indelible record on an issue can’t just say the word and purport to be the opposite.”

What amazes me (or shows the stupidity of the average voter) is that Harris is showing a 1 point lead in recent polling on who voters trust to do more for the economy.

A recent survey conducted for the   Financial Times   and the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business found voters   trust the Democratic candidate   more than Trump, the   Republican   nominee, on the economy for the first time in almost a year.

The survey found that 41 percent trust Trump will be better at handling the economy, while 42 percent believe Harris would be better—up 7 points from President Joe Biden's numbers in a July survey.

Donald Trump Suffers Double Polling Blow Over Economy vs Kamala Harris - Newsweek

And this turnaround has been done without releasing any plans or platforms, without any interviews and with a recent statement that there is no light between the White House and Harris meaning she will continue with the Biden economic agenda. While this is just one poll and there are others that show a different leader, it's amazing that polling can continue to be so fucked up. Guess it goes to show that it's all how the questions are worded to get the results they want to see.

It reflects the fickleness of voters. The media aids her campaign in a rollout totally devoid of any substance, which amounts to nothing more than a gala celebration. For the democrat base it was a celebration. They had resigned themselves to losing with Biden and now they got via devious means a new candidate in the middle of a campaign.

Exactly.  As if massive corporations and left wing government officials colluding to censor news during the 2020 election wasn't proof enough, the modern fascists keep working to censor any negative coverage.  Examples being the Washington Post reporter begging the Biden Administration to stop a private citizen from interviewing Trump and  the EU trying threatening to censor the interview. Combine that with the Labor government in Great Britain throwing people in jail for sharing pictures of riots and threatening to arrest Americans who say mean things we know exactly who the authoritarian reactionaries are, the left.

You mean like the Washington Post "reporter" who suggested that the Biden White House engage in censorship of the Elon Musk / President Trump talk? You mean like that?

A reporter for The Washington Post openly suggested that the   Biden White House   censor so-called "misinformation" from the interview between X owner Elon Musk and former President Trump. 

During Monday's press briefing, the Washington Post's Cleve Wootson Jr. invoked Musk's highly anticipated viral conversation with Trump that night, insisting misinformation is not a "campaign issue" but "an America issue" as well.

"What role does the White House or the president have in sort of stopping that or stopping the spread of that or sort of intervening in that? Some of that was about campaign misinformation, but, you know, it’s a wider thing, right?" Wootson Jr. asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

trump may have agreed to 2 other debate scenarios, but harris has only agreed to 1 with trump that I'm aware of. the same debate trump has tried to weasel his way out of already. you don't really think an experienced prosecuting attorney is going to take the word of a proven liar and convicted felon, do you? it's in harris' best interest to wait and see if the maga braggart actually shows up to the 1st scheduled debate before agreeing to any more debates. tomorrow or 2 months from tomorrow, at trump's current rate of mental deterioration, the end results will be the same. with all the grumbling about trump in the GOP smoke filled rooms going on now, the longer she waits, the harder it will be for them to change from a candidate that's already 1 cognitive step away from a memory care center entrance. it's already going on 4 weeks since the biden hand-off to harris, and still no organized or coordinated response from the trump campaign. after the 1st debate with harris, trump's care takers won't let him debate her again...

Nor press conferences or interviews with Harris. Four weeks.

her campaign is less than 1 month old and she's still surfing the momentum. looks like trump needs to stick with his basic racism and misogyny attacks until the debate happens, get worked over by an experienced prosecutor, and then go face a judge for sentencing on 34 felonies and 10 counts of contempt.

Have to disagree with this. Trump needs to make that Sept 10th debate as it may be the only time the two of them go face to face. It's a good bet that Harris will not agree to a Sept 4th debate and doubtful she would agree to the third proposed debate. 

As for his team sizing her up to determine where to concentrate the punches, I have my doubts. Look at the attacks by Trump so far, on her looks, her race, etc. If that's coming from his team he's got some of the worst idea men in the history of campaigning. But I believe that is coming from Trump himself as he believes he's the best judge of what is right. Not that he will do it (because his ego won't let him) but he needs to stop hiring Yes-Men and get someone in who will slap him upside the head and tell him to pull his head out of his ass. Attacking her race or looks will not win him votes. He needs to emphasis her policies and the problems with the policies as shown by the results from the Biden Administration. He needs to show how Walz's policies hurt the people of the state of Minnesota. 

Right now it appears he's doing everything he can to lose the race. He's running out of time to turn things around as early voting starts in some states in only 39 calendar days.

I think Trump agreed to the Sept 10th debate with the Biden campaign. The simple fact that Biden dropped out of the race IMO does not change that. Trump agreed to the debate and it's terms before and he needs to honor that agreement. 

I do plan on watching that debate closely. I hope that the close friendship that Harris has with an ABC VP does not impact the debate. It would be a shame if one candidate is again given questions in advance as happened when Donna Brazile gave the questions to Hillary Clinton in advance.

Dana Walden, a senior Disney executive whose portfolio includes ABC News, is one of Vice President Kamala Harris' "extraordinary friends,"  according to  a report in the New York Times. Walden and Harris have known each other since 1994, while their husbands, Matt Walden and Doug Emhoff, have known each other since the 1980s.

I hope so too. CNN did a surprisingly good job. The problem is that IMO ABC has become more activist than any other network news organization. All of this was set up by the Biden campaign and was presented as a dare. Let us hope that the ABC debate will simply up the ante on a losing hand. She'll need the questions in advance to have any chance.

BRISTOL, Va. – On the campaign trail with Virginia’s GOP Senate nominee Hung Cao Friday, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin touted the fruit of his election integrity labor — namely, the removal of more than 6,000 non-citizens from the state’s voter rolls and codifying the Commonwealth’s all-paper balloting system.

“We went to work to make sure that with data feeds from the DMV and for the Social Security Administration, if you are a non-citizen, you were removed from the voter rolls over the last two and a half years. We got 6,000 of them.”

Speaking to a packed room on the second floor of the Michael Waltrip Brewing Co. in Bristol, Youngkin elaborated on his newly announced  Executive Order 35 , aimed at safeguarding elections in the state.

“We’re going to make sure the voter rolls are clean,” Youngkin said, going on to describe tens of thousands of voters who needed to be purged ahead of November.

Would that all states would work harder to insure the voting rolls in their states are clean. But not all states want to do the work as it costs money. I can speak from experience. Here in Arizona I had a friend who had moved to Las Vegas and voted up there but his parents continued to get his ballots in their mail every year despite for the first six cycles of sending the ballots back marked 'Moved to Nevada'. They called the state office, but it was never cleaned up.

Sorry, guess I wasn't clear. The problem was with the Arizona elections board.

In fact when he moved back to Arizona last year he didn't need to re-register to vote, just update his mailing address.

A migrant who led a gang of asylum-seeking thugs in a savage, caught-on-camera beating of two NYPD officers in Times Square and then quickly made bail was just busted for serial theft, police sources say.

Yohenry Brito, 24, of Venezuela was arrested late Tuesday for a pair of thefts at Manhattan Sephora locations: one in July in which he cut security wires on display cases to steal fragrances, and another Aug. 6, when he ripped off $1,358 worth of merchandise from store shelves before fleeing with an accomplice, who was not apprehended, police sources told The Post.

He was previously arrested and released over at least three other thefts — both before and after the shameful Times Square police beatdown .

If conservatives actually cared about lies and the liars that tell them, they would have booted Trump long ago. Sadly, it seems many conservatives love lying and liars as long as the lies being told are attacking those they have labeled as 'different'. Anyone who doesn't look like them, worship like they do, accept their warped version of reality as their own are fair game when it comes to attacking with anything. Lies, deep fakes, dishonesty, cheating, fake electors, even violently storming the capital to try and stop the peaceful transition of power that is a core foundation of our great nation and constitution, many conservatives couldn't care less. Most don't give a shit about anyone but themselves, which is why they are so enamored with a lying piece of shit like Trump, whatever it takes to stomp on the necks of those they hate, of those their religion hates and has labeled "sinners", it's clear they believe that the ends justify the means and there is nothing that embarrasses those who have no shame. Also, their overt willingness to accept and defend lies exposes them for the religious frauds most of them are.

"44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." - John:844

"(Hannity) says, ‘You’re not going to be a dictator, are you?’ I said: ‘No, no, no, other than day one.” - Donald J Trump

I would say if you're going to use the quote then you should use the FULL quote. But can we expect fair treatment in the partisan world?

The full quote is :

As  Donald Trump  faces growing scrutiny over his  increasingly authoritarian and violent rhetoric , Fox News host Sean Hannity gave  his longtime friend  a chance to assure the American people that he wouldn’t abuse power or seek retribution if he wins a second term.

But instead of offering a perfunctory answer brushing off the warnings, Trump stoked the fire.

“Except for day one,” the   GOP front-runner said Tuesday night   before a live audience in Davenport, Iowa. “I want to close the border, and I want to drill, drill, drill.”

And in case anyone missed it, he reenacted the exchange.

“We love this guy,” Trump said of Hannity. “He says, ‘You’re not going to be a dictator, are you?’ I said: ‘No, no, no, other than day one. We’re closing the border, and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator.’”

Trump's vow to only be a dictator on his first day back in office | AP News

Seems very clear in reading it that he would on day one issue executive orders to close the border and to open drilling. That's the extent of his "dictatorship". Not quite as harsh as the Dem's would like to paint it as. Maybe you should give a rats ass about facts and truth.

A man was stabbed in the abdomen outside the Randall's Island migrant shelter in  New York City , just two weeks after a deadly shooting unfolded at the same site. 

At approximately 10:33 a.m. on Sunday, officers responded to a 911 call for an assault at Randall’s Island Field 82, within the confines of the 25th precinct. 

Upon arrival, officers observed a 26-year-old male victim with a stab wound to the abdomen, a spokesperson for the New York City Police Department (NYPD) confirmed to Fox News Digital. 

EMS transported the victim to NYC Health and Hospitals + Harlem in stable condition. 

"There are no arrests and the investigation remains ongoing," the spokesperson added Monday. 

Last week, officers searched the Randall's Island migrant shelter for drugs and weapons, forcing the approximately 3,000 adults housed at the facility to wait outside. But police said no contraband was found in the Aug. 2 sweep. As migrants max out their time in the shelter, they've set up tents and camps just outside despite officials warning that camping is not allowed.

And no one would die in car accidents if we didn't drive, no one would ever die in a plane crash if we stopped flying in planes, and no women would be raped if we cut off every mans dick, and no one would ever drown if we got rid of all water on the planet.

The fact is, the majority of illegal immigrants in this country didn't get here by crossing the border illegally, they got here by overstaying a visa and millions come from other countries like Canada.

For 7th Consecutive Year, Visa Overstays Exceeded Illegal Border Crossings

"Since more than one half of all US undocumented residents arrive by air, visa-issuing posts have become the real frontline deterrent to undocumented migration," the study concludes.

For 7th Consecutive Year, Visa Overstays Exceeded Illegal Border Crossings : NPR

Also, undocumented immigrants commit less crime per capita than native Americans.

Immigrants are significantly less likely to commit crimes than the U.S.-born

Immigrants are significantly less likely to commit crimes than the U.S.-born - Northwestern Now

So with that fact maybe the infamous Trump quote should really read:

“When America shows you its people, they’re not showing their best. They’re not showing immigrants. They’re not represented by the undocumented. They’re people that have lots of problems, and they’ve already got those problems among us. They buy, sell and use lots of drugs. They’re committing crimes. They’re rapists. They're deplorables. And some, I assume, are good people.”

Immigrants are significantly less likely to commit crimes than the U.S.-born

Sigh.......You are conflating Immigrants who have followed the law and gone through the process to immigrate and Illegals who are more likely to commit crimes than those born here because the fact you are so desperately trying to avoid is 100% of them are criminals.

Ukraine has forced itself to negotiate with Russia.  The incursion into Kursk may dull the sting but time has apparently run out for Ukraine.

The United States no longer has any control over Israeli restraint.  That fact must give pause in Tehran.  

The euphoria of being rid of Joe Biden is beginning to fade.  The indications are that after the DNC convention next week, the race will return to where it was before Biden was dumped.  Early voting can't start early enough for Kamala Harris.

We have astronauts trapped on the ISS while Boeing is being grilled for lapses in safety and quality control; the press is trying to keep those two issues separated.  There is growing expectation of a COVID resurgence this fall but it's coming too late to influence the election.  The southern United States is underwater but that has nothing to do with sea level rise.  The financial shysters are pleading for help again; apparently they've sucked all the disposable income out of the economy and fear missing quarterly profit projections.  China is building factories in Mexico to bypass tariffs and, somehow, that is attracting more illegal immigrants to the United States.  Trump is still under threat of political incarceration so it shouldn't be a surprise if Vance is allowed to be a bit of a loose canon; yes there is still time for a race between Harris and Vance.

F ormer President Donald Trump intends to file a lawsuit against the Justice Department for the August 2022 search it carried out at his Mar-a-Lago estate, after a Trump-appointed judge  threw out  criminal charges brought against the ex-president for allegedly unlawfully withholding White House documents at his Florida property.

Trump filed a notice saying he intends to sue the DOJ for $100 million, according to a copy of the memo obtained by Forbes, alleging the search was carried out with “clear intent to engage in political persecution.”

The FBI searched Mar-a-Lago in August 2022,  recovering  more than 11,000 White House documents, including 103 classified ones, after it previously subpoenaed Trump for his remaining classified documents but had reason to believe he didn’t turn all of them over.

Investigators obtained a warrant for their search, but Trump alleges the search was “inconsistent with protocols used in routine searches of an investigative target's premises,” and the FBI’s conduct was “a severe and unacceptable intrusion that is highly offensive to a reasonable person.”

The lawsuit comes weeks after U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon  dismissed  the DOJ’s criminal charges against Trump for keeping White House materials at Mar-a-Lago and allegedly obstructing the investigation into those documents, which came out of the Mar-a-Lago search.

The DOJ will have 180 days to respond to the memo and for the two sides to reach a resolution, which legal expert Lisa Rubin  told  MSNBC Monday means it’s unlikely Trump will be able to file a full lawsuit for six months.

The Justice Department has not yet responded to a request for comment.

It's always stuck me as odd that the National Archives and DOJ were so quick to target Trump while others have been found to have the same thing for a longer period of time without the slightest whisper.

To me, at least, America appears to be a litigation lawyer's heaven.  Your coffee was too hot?  SUE!!!  The elevator got stuck for 5 minutes?  SUE!!!   You had to wait too long for the bus to come?  SUE!!!   And as I saw in the movie Erin Brockovich they can grab up to 40% of the proceeds.  Canadian lawyers can only get their hourly rate and out-of-pocket expenses.  And if a trivial matter is brought to court not only will it get laughed out of court but the judge will impose a requirement for the lawyer HIMSELF bringing a bullshit case to court to personally pay not only all the court costs but also reimburse all the opposing lawyer's fees and expenses.  As you can imagine, trivial cases are almost never brought in Canada.

What I really wanted when I was back in practice in Toronto was a T-shirt with the Shakespeare quote from Henry VI, Part 2 “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”  This one doesn't do the job right.  It should be a black T-shirt with bigger bolder white lettering.

The NYPD reported 30 antisemitic incidents across the city in July, three times higher than the 10 anti-Jewish hate crimes reported during the same month last year, as the increase in antisemitism in New York continues nearly 10 months after the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war on Oct. 7.

Last month, Jews were targeted in more hate incidents than all other groups combined, as they have been nearly every month since October 2023. 

There were 52 total hate crimes reported to police last month, including five targeting Asians, one against Black people, five based on gender, eight based on sexual orientation, one based on religious bias and two against white people. The NYPD did not record any hate incidents against Muslims or Hispanic people.

I see that Harris is backing away from earlier claims that she wanted Medicare for All implemented. Wonder what this will do for her support from the Bernie Bro's and other hard liberals?

A campaign official told Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy that Harris will not push the subject of single-payer or "Medicare-for-all" this go around, as she seeks her first term as commander-in-chief.

With 83 days to the election the Harris campaign and our dishonest media show no signs of letting Kamala do an interview.

Shows no signs..of letting her. ..???

After all this criticism of Harris for "avoiding to do an interview"-- now its being admitted that it's not Harris' fault-- that she wants to do an interview- - but the media won't let her?*

Whatever politician said that is truly "C uckoo for Cocoa Puffs" jrSmiley_88_smiley_image.gif
