“Interesting Timing” – Vice President Kamala Harris Seeks New Social Media Strategist

Do you want to be “the voice” for the second highest office of the land? If so, you’re in luck.

A job advert has been posted online by the Joe Biden for President Campaign which seeks a Social Media Platforms Strategist on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris.

The role includes writing within an “established organizational identity” (whatever that means) across multiple social media platforms, including X, Facebook and Instagram. The successful applicant must write daily content and manage scheduling across social media while also instigating a strategy for projects in the run up to the election.

One of the easier parts of the job is that you’re required to be more coherent than VP Harris.

Furthermore, the job involves executing “innovative social media projects” to assist in growing the VP’s reach, with successful candidates required to meet the needs of stakeholders across the Democratic Party.

Working on campaigns is considered “a bonus,” while applicants must have strong writing skills and an eagle eye for typos. Furthermore, all employees must be “up to date” on their COVID-19 vaccinations and must provide “accurate and truthful” information to the Biden for President campaign.

The compensation for the role ranges from $65,000 to $85,000 a year.

When the job was posted on social media, commenters were quick to ridicule.

Others noted the interesting timing of the job opening. Since a below-par performance in the first presidential debate of 2024, questions have swirled as to whether Biden may drop out of the race, thus opening the door to Vice President Harris. Should the President choose to stand down, he must do so before the Democratic Party Convention in August.

The polling is an absolute disaster for Biden right now – and the Democrats’ own internal polling proves it.

Even worse for them? The polling isn’t much better for any other Democrat against Trump either.

Anti-Trump Influencer Accidentally Makes Case for Trump

Donald Trump’s third successive efforts to secure the White House have been noticeably different from his previous campaigns.

2016 saw Trump emerge as a rank outsider to secure the Republican Party nomination and later the presidency. On the contrary, his 2020 campaign was focused solely on his successes as President of the United States with no realistic challenge from party colleagues.

2024, if anything, has been a mixture of both. For sure, he has had to earn the nomination with challenges like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley berating him for what they see as damage inflicted on the GOP. Yet, the former president all-but secured the party nomination comparatively early in the electoral cycle – and didn’t even have to attend a single debate to win them.

While liberals have since moved to fearmongering over Trump’s “Project 2025,” they’re also triggered by his Agenda 47 (both of which list policy proposals the Trump administration would like implemented).

One woke influencer discussed the “terrifying” pledges in a viral video, which include closing the Department for Education and returning educational standards to state-level, criminalizing race-based advantage programs, ban gender-affirming care and prohibit federal money from being used on it. Listen to their concerns below – and you’ll be left scratching your head wondering what exactly anyone should be worried about:

The trouble for the woke is a lot of Americans actually agree with the ideas.

Much like the Biden-Harris HQ account, the far-left are once again promoting Trump’s ideas. As one user put it…

“She’s Insane” – Elon Musk Responds To Rachel Maddow’s Allegations Against Him

It’s fair to say that business magnate Elon Musk is a divisive character.

His takeover of Twitter, later renamed X, has polarized opinion on the Tesla CEO – large in part due to his efforts to promote free speech on the platform.

Following a disastrous CNN debate for President Joe Biden, Musk said he was “leaning towards” Republican challenger and former president Donald Trump.

Naturally, devout leftists within the media have taken issue, with MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow launching into a rant on her daily show. A 42-second clip has landed particular attention, with Musk himself even responding.

In a segment (above) captioned “choose your fighter”, Maddow highlighted “extremist beliefs” of the wealthy who were “making a big show out of supporting Donald Trump”. Maddow used headlines portraying a Musk-MAGA alliance which she said evidenced “months of high-profile support” for the Republican candidate.

“[Musk] used to be thought of as a quirky, business billionaire – an eccentric, inventor-type,” Maddow said. “But now he’s basically this guy,” she continued as producers aired a picture of Capitol rioter Jacob Chansley, otherwise known as the “QAnon Shaman.”

Before the clip ends, Maddow also accused the billionaire of supporting Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and accused him of “destroying” Twitter.

Maddow’s allegations against Musk prompted a speedy response from the X CEO.

Many came to Musk’s support with heavy criticism of the MSNBC commentator.

Other commenters noted how Maddow’s skepticism typically ends with pro-Republican causes.

Woman Reduced To Tears After Nurse Says Masks Are “Irrelevant”

A TikTok video of a woman breaking down into tears after being told that face masks were “irrelevant” has gone viral online.

The clip features an initially masked hospital patient discussing her recent trip to a clinic in Washington state. In the two-minute anecdote, the woman notes how she was given an extra face mask on leaving the hospital.

After she thanked the nurse for providing an extra mask, she was reportedly told “we could use less of them” by practitioners at the clinic, who also said they “were pointless”.

Despite the patient’s disbelief that masks were not required in an oncology and hematology infusion center, the nurse and three colleagues reiterated that masks had not been worn prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The woman, who said she was “not an oncology patient” but is “immunocompromised”, added she was “so floored” by the conversation before breaking down into tears (watch below):

When the clip made it to social media platform X, users noted how individual beliefs over the effectiveness of masks were largely dictated by mainstream media outlets.

One commenter praised the nurses from the clip.

For some, the TikTok video brought back dark memories of mask mandates during the pandemic.

The effectiveness of masks has long been disputed. In some instances, interpretation of studies and misinformation has prompted media outlets to overreport their usefulness, while their introduction alongside other preventative measures has boosted the true effectiveness of face coverings.

Even The Democrats Think Donald Trump Is Going To Beat Joe Biden

Internal polling by the Democrat Party has revealed the sheer scale of President Joe Biden’s possible defeat to Republican rival Donald Trump.

The leaked memo reveals a comfortable victory for the former president with a 333-205 victory in the Electoral College, with Trump taking most swing states along with Republican strongholds on his projected path to victory. These include previously Democratic-leaning states such as New Hampshire, Virginia, and New Mexico, while Trump reportedly leads the President by seven points in the crucial states of Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Following a disastrous debate in front of the nation on CNN, Biden now trails fellow Democrats Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg in the battleground states. Remarkably, he also trails Vice President Kamala Harris who has struggled to win over the American electorate throughout her tenure, according to internal polling.

Social media users were keen to offer their insight for the poll which is bound to dishearten many of the President’s fiercest allies.

Others noted the possibility of Trump securing a majority similar to previous Republican successes.

Some also questioned the internal polling, believing it to be a way to turn the results in Biden’s favor.

Biden is facing increasing pressure from within the Democratic Party amid concerns of a rejuvenating Trump. His performance in the Thursday, June 27 debate raised questions over a potential successor, with California Gov. Newsom tipped for the role. Any decision to step down must be made by the President himself before the party’s convention in August.

Florida Police Charge Teenager With Felony For Doing Donuts Over St. Petersburg Pride Flag

Police in Florida have arrested and charged an 18-year-old who allegedly performed donuts over a painted pride flag in St. Petersburg.

Christian Maier, 18, has been charged with a criminal mischief felony, and racing or stunt driving on a public street, for the alleged damage to the mural between Central Avenue and 25th Street.

On May 22, video footage captured a driver performing donuts over the painted mural in the early hours of the morning. The clip, which local law enforcement officers claim features Maier “recklessly maneuvering his car in a way to leave several tire marks across the mural and causing significant damage,” sparked a “manhunt” for the perpetrator just weeks before the beginning of pride month.

Local media reports that the damage caused to the mural, which was restored prior to the beginning of June, amounted to $1,100. Maier reportedly pleaded not guilty through an attorney and has since been released from Pinellas County Jail after posting a $5,500 bond.

The incident draws similarities to a similar case across the country in Washington, where three teenagers were also charged for allegedly causing damage to a pride flag.

Leaving tire marks over pride flags has been a contentious issue since the wave of protests began, with many arguing that such acts are an example of free speech.

Others questioned whether pursuing perpetrators was a valuable use of police time and resources.

There was also some criticism aimed towards Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis given that eradicating woke ideology is a key foundation of his policy platform.

French Feminists Protest Against National Rally Support… By Topless Mopping

Topless feminists in France have taken to the streets to protest against a surge in support for right-wing parties in the country’s ongoing parliamentary elections.

The snap elections were called by President Emmanuel Macron after strong results for anti-woke and populist movements in the European Parliament elections at the start of June. An improved performance for Marine Le Pen’s National Rally echoed similar results for right-wing parties across the continent.

France holds two rounds of voting to elect its parliament, with the first taking place on Sunday, June 30. National Rally and its allies topped the polls once again securing 34% of the vote – more than 13 percentage points ahead of President Macron’s Ensemble coalition.

The right-wing parties have so far secured 38 seats, while socialist groups have won 32. Ensemble, on the contrary, has only secured two. Seats where a candidate failed to secure a convincing majority will be decided in the second round of voting on Sunday, July 7.

In Paris, feminists removed their tops and mopped the streets in a vocal protest in the country’s capital. With a bucket labeled “anti-racism remover”, the women mopped in front of the Eifel Tower while criticizing what they see as the “fascist” right-wing movement.

The effectiveness of the protest was disputed by American commenters, with some subjecting it to ridicule.

Others, however, preferred this style of protest over blocking roads or contradictory causes.

American social media users also drew comparisons with protests instigated by left-wing extremists in the United States.

Campus Crazies

Woke Universities Could Be Targeted Under House Republican Bill

Woke universities which permit disruptive protests could be required to publish their policies following anti-Israel demonstrations across the country in recent months.

House Republicans are pushing the bill titled the No Tax Dollars For College Encampments Act amid thousands of arrests of pro-Palestinian students earlier this year. The bill, led by Rep. Jim Banks and GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, targets universities which receive federal funding.

Should the bill become law, such colleges will be required to be more transparent about their protest policies and report campus crime statistics.

The bill has been supported by eight House Republicans so far as well as conservative groups such as Parents Defending Education Action. If adopted, it would amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 which aims to address reporting of campus protests.

Following Hamas’ terror attacks against Israeli civilians last October, student activists across the country held encampment protests prompting ugly scenes and more than 3,100 arrests.

In a statement to Fox News, Rep. Banks said the legislation would hold “woke universities accountable” and ensure protest rules are enforced “fairly and equally”.

Reaction from social media users was mixed, with some calling for tougher sanctions.

Others were more skeptical over the bill’s likely impact, with one user commenting that it was likely to “stir the pot” even more.

One commenter described the issue as “really chronic”, stating that some university professors had a role to play.

What’s your view? Is tougher action on our universities needed? Let us know in the comments below.

Ted Cruz Slams Ilhan Omar For Somali-Only Rally In Minneapolis

Far-left House Rep. Ilhan Omar held a rally in Minneapolis, MN, in which she rallied for the interests of the country.

Unfortunately, that country was Somalia, rather than the United States.

Rep. Omar held her entire rally in Somali with the country’s former Prime Minister even making a speech in front of hundreds of attendees. In fact, Hassan Ali Khaire even claimed that Rep. Omar’s interests “aren’t those of Minnesota or the American people, but those of Somalia.”

Later that day. Former PM Khaire met with Rep. Mohamud Noor, Rep. Hodan Hassan and Minneapolis Council Member Jamal Osman to urge voters not to vote for a black or white candidate over the incumbent.

Rep. Omar’s electorate is three-fifths white and covers a population of just over 700,000. As a member of The Squad – a group of far-left Democrats in Congress – Omar has come under criticism for her controversial statements which saw her removed from the Foreign Affairs Committee in 2023.

Her latest controversy drew blowback once again from critics, including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz who described the rally as “stunning”.

Sen. Cruz saw much support for calling out Omar’s event, which did not even feature American flags despite her ongoing re-election campaign.

One commenter noted how the remarks could amount to treason.

Omar has not been confirmed as the Democrat’s candidate for Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District in November’s elections, with Don Samuels also vying for the nomination. The winner will face Republican Party candidate Dalia al-Aqidi in the Democratic stronghold.

“I feel violated” – Woman Describes Moment Male Employee Allegedly Walked In Female Locker Room At Planet Fitness

Woke gym franchise Planet Fitness has been slammed after a woman claimed she was confronted by a male employee in the women’s locker rooms.

The nationwide gym group has come under heavy fire in recent months after it banned Patricia Silva who filmed a biological man (also known as a “man”) shaving in the women’s locker rooms back in March. The subsequent outrage prompted a large-scale boycott of Planet Fitness, with the incident in Fairbanks, Alaska, causing a “fairly significant” drop in new memberships.

On Friday, June 28, a similar incident was reported by TikTok user Tiff. In the video, Tiff described the moment she was changing in the women’s locker room when a male walked in.

“I was changing, I was topless, I look over and a man that works at the f****** gym is coming out of the women’s restroom,” Tiff said. “He looked at me and we made eye contact,” she continued before breaking down into tears.

“I did not have a shirt on, I did not have a bra, and I just feel really violated that he saw me,” Tiff added.

When reporting the incident to the front desk, staff allegedly told her to calm down as if they believed the issue was “not a big deal”.

When the TikTok video was reshared on X, many were critical of Planet Fitness, with one calling for it to be bankrupted.

Others offered a sense of solidarity with the victim.

Like Tiff, some also highlighted Planet Fitness’ summer-long promotion offering free access to teenagers.
