Psst! Karine and Joe Know Each Other—Pass it On!

/

She of the corkscrew curls—or ramen noodle wig if you prefer—is having such a hard time holding together the White House’s public image that she is now reduced to “answering” reporters’ questions about Kamala Harris’ accomplishments by giving the vice president co-credit for policies enacted by President Joe Biden. Think of it as Karine Jean-Pierre grading Harris on a curve for a group class project. 

First, we have to set the scene by describing the media silliness that provoked the topic. Readers, stay with me; this is as dumb as it seems. We all know that Joe Biden is president, and that Kamala Harris is vice president. They are, literally and uncontroversially, a team that both work in the White House. Therefore, it is fair to think of the two of them as being connected, is it not?

The geniuses over at Politico don’t think so:


You read that right. It’s the supercharged version of the media’s reflexive reaction any time a conservative objects to an over the top or dangerous leftist policy: “Republicans pounce!” We are to believe that Donald Trump, the worst Bad Orange Man ever, is acting like a lunatic by “trying to draw a connection” between. . .the president and the vice president. 

We really are through the looking glass. Up is down, black is white, and there is no such thing as objective reality. 

As usual, Twitter/X users had something to say about that, starting with the estimable LibsofTikTok:

Then we get some quality snark:

How does White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre come into this?

We’re not sure if Politico knows this, but it looks like even she has fallen under The Donald’s spell. “Answering” a question from a reporter about what specific policy accomplishments Harris can claim credit for, an annoyed Jean-Pierre recently “admitted” the blatantly obvious; that Harris and Biden are connected because they work together. “Bidenomics has been something that both the President and the Vice President has worked on” she told Peter Doocy, who asked about whether Harris was trying to distance herself from Biden.

Considering what she has to defend, one almost feels sorry for Jean-Pierre, but then one remembers she willingly signed up to take a paycheck to protect a dishonest and senile president from accountability to the citizens he allegedly serves. 

Plenty of past White House spokeswomen (hello, Jen Psaki) have made it clear they believe they’re above answering questions from the unwashed masses, but Jean-Pierre has made it into an art form. She telegraphs annoyance at “impertinent” and “inappropriate” questions from the press (huh?), but when it comes to trying to answer a substantive question, she falls apart. When pressed about the recent news that presidential son Hunter Biden leaned on the State Department for insider help winning a business contract, Jean-Pierre literally stuttered her way through the answer. 

Plenty of Twitter/X users are having deserved fun at her expense. User Andrew Dice Hardy cadged the spokeswoman’s own malapropism and shot it back:

We’re with mummabear in spirit, but we’re afraid you can “just make up words”—if you’re a Democrat. 

No social media thread would be complete without at least one clinical teaching example of the symptoms of Trump Derangement Syndrome:

Donald Trump Says God Kept Him Alive To “Save The World”

/

Former and future President Donald Trump thanked God for the intervention which saved his life during the assassination attempt in Butler, PA, on July 13.

The infamous events saw shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks narrowly miss the Republican’s head in the shooting from around 130 yards away. Quite remarkably, Trump turned his head at the right moment as he looked towards a television screen, causing the bullet to clip his right ear.

Trump has previously praised divine intervention for the head swivel which ultimately saved his life – something which arose again during his Bedminster press conference on Thursday.

“Have you put much thought into why God save your life? As in, for what purpose has he been shielding and protecting you,” Trump was asked by a reporter.

Describing his near-miss as “a miracle”, Trump referred to the graph regarding the number of illegal immigrants under President Joe Biden’s administration, adding that it was one he uses “less than 20% of the time at the end of the speech.”

“I just talked about it, and I moved to my right, turned sharply to my right, ping!” Trump explained. “And if I didn’t do that, I [wouldn’t be] here with you.

“It’s a miracle, and God has something to do with it. And maybe it’s [because] we want to save the world. This world is going down. This world is going down,” the former president reiterated to cheers from the crowd.”

Trump added that his sons Eric and Don Jr. compared the shooter to missing a “one-foot putt” in golf.

The response resonated strongly with Christian supporters of the Republican nominee.

Others praised Trump’s handling of the press conference.

Voter Registration Data: GOP Picks Up Hundreds of Thousands of Voters While Democrats Hemorrhage Millions

/

Voters have left the Democratic Party en masse over President Joe Biden’s tenure, according to new data shared on X.

Overall, Republicans saw a net gain of nearly 400,000 registered voters since November 2020, while Democrats have hemorrhaged nearly 3 million. Democrats suffered net losses in every state except California ( where they gained a net 71,058) – a state which only Democrats could think is heading in the right direction.

The Democrats have seen major losses in Florida (-979,487) and New York (-410,386), as well as the swing state of Pennsylvania (-329,289). Pennsylvania, which holds 19 Electoral College votes, has also witnessed losses for the GOP albeit on a much smaller scale (-1,466).

Republicans have seen gains in California (+148,823), Florida (+151,456), and New Jersey (+152,918), though the margins aren’t enough to flip California or New Jersey by a long shot. Both the GOP and the Democrats have lost around 130,000 registered voters in Colorado, while New York (-49,674) and Massachusetts (-61,042) have been particularly unfriendly to Republicans – though that’s hardly a surprise.

The swing states also tell an interesting tale. The Democrats have lost around 260,000 registered voters in Arizona and Nevada, but these have not necessarily translated into a pro-Republican electorate with the GOP losing just over 75,000 registered voters in these two crucial states. Still, the result is a net positive for Republicans.

Michael Pruser, who shared the figures, addressed important questions from users on X.

Indeed, if the majority of voters are dissatisfied with their choices, then we could be in for an interesting election.

Cost Of Illegal Immigration Equivalent To 36th Largest Economy In The World

/

The total cost of illegal immigration under President Joe Biden’s administration would be equivalent to the gross domestic product of the 36th largest economy in the world, according to a report from late last year that’s now getting attention on social media.

Illegal immigration under President Joe Biden’s administration has cost the country an estimated $451 billion per year, according to a report released by House Republicans in November 2023.

The 50-page report, which was the fourth interim report on Department for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ handling of the border crisis, highlights that over 3.8 million illegal immigrants have entered the country since Biden took office in January 2021.

Taxpayer dollars have accounted for costs incurred for healthcare, education, housing, and enforcement to accommodate the up to 130+ million illegal aliens currently in the country.

“Every day, millions of American taxpayer dollars are spent on costs directly associated with illegal immigration and the unprecedented crisis at the Southwest border sparked by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ policies,” the House Homeland Security Committee interim report states. “Only a small fraction is ever recouped from the taxes paid by illegal aliens, with the rest falling on the shoulders of American citizens and lawful residents.”

The report’s relevance remains with the current political landscape. Vice President Kamala Harris is the Democratic Party’s nominee for the upcoming presidential election, although she has remained quiet on her disastrous record as Border Czar, which some in the media have tried to hide.

Many on social media were in disbelief at the figure.

Others considered the implications for the election.

One user even mapped the scale of the crisis.

European Union Accused Of Election Interference After Letter Warning Of Elon Musk Of “Legal Obligations”

/

The European Union threatened X owner Elon Musk with “legal obligations” prior to his interview with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Musk held a landmark two-hour conversation with the former president on Tuesday, August 12, in what marked Trump’s return to the platform from what he was once permanently banned.

Writing “in the context of recent events” in the United Kingdom – which is no longer a part of the EU – European Commissioner Thierry Breton reminded Musk that the broadcast would be accessible to European citizens. Furthermore, Breton warned of the “obligation to ensure X’s compliance with EU law”.

“This notably means ensuring, on one hand, that freedom of expression and of information, including media freedom and pluralism, are effectively protected and, on the other hand, that all proportionate and effective mitigation measures are put in place regarding the amplification of harmful content in connection with relevant events, including live streaming,” Breton wrote.

“This is important against the background of recent examples of public unrest brought about by the amplification of content that promotes hatred, disorder, incitement to violence, or certain instances of disinformation.”

X CEO Linda Yaccarino described the move as an “attempt to stretch a law intended to apply in Europe to political activities in the U.S.”, adding that it “patronizes European citizens, suggesting they are incapable” of drawing their own conclusions from the discussion.

Social media users were largely in agreement with this sentiment.

Others suggested that the EU was afraid of the possibility of another Trump presidency.

California Sheriff Slams Kamala Harris For “Misleading” Campaign Ad

/

A California sheriff has angrily lashed out after being featured in a “misleading” Kamala Harris campaign advertisement.

Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux was featured in the video, which used clips from 2013 when Harris visited his office. It was featured in a 30-second ad heavily focused on Harris’ fictitious achievements on border security.

However Sheriff Boudreaux, who’s now president of the California State Sheriffs’ Association, was repulsed to be included in the ad for a woman whose campaign he vehemently opposes.

In a statement, he said, “In light of a recent political ad put out by Kamala Harris featuring Sheriff Boudreaux, as well as other local law enforcement, the Sheriff wants to make it abundantly clear that his image is being used without his permission, and he does NOT endorse Harris for President or any other political office.”

“The truth is, Harris never cared about the cartels and did nothing to stop people from illegally crossing the border,” he added.

Sheriff Boudreaux has since conducted a number of media interviews with local and national outlets. He told One America News that Harris “never came in to say hello and say thank you to any of the law enforcement officers, nor did she shake anyone’s hand” when the aforementioned clip was filmed, while telling Fox News the Vice President was “a huge supporter” of defunding the police.

Many on social media supported the sheriff’s comments.

Others called for Boudreaux to take legal action against the Democrat.

Kamala Harris U-Turns On Concept She Once Co-Sponsored, Medicare For All

/

Kamala Harris is no stranger to a changing policy stances when convenient.

And now, with some help from the media, Harris has sought to change Americans’ perception of her as she bids to win the presidential election in November. In the absence of media scrutiny, the Vice President also stolen ideas from Republican rival Donald Trump and tried to portray them as her own, such as his “no tax on tips” proposal.

Her latest debacle involves Medicare for All – the Bernie Sanders-backed brainchild which would undoubtedly cost the American taxpayer billions (or trillions) where the federal government would cover the cost of all essential healthcare.

Pushing for “Medicare for All” is nothing new, with a modern push for it dating back to 2003 in the U.S. Despite repeated attempts, a bill in its favor has never passed Congress.

In 2019, as Sen. Sanders once again tried to pass the bill, the now-Vice President was happy to co-sponsor and offer her support, saying, “This is about a right, not just a privilege for a few.”

However, now her political career depends on it, Harris has scrapped her support for the concept she once co-sponsored in a complete U-turn.

One social media user noted the Vice President’s history of flip-flopping on important issues.

Some called for Harris to address the issue directly.

Others noted the Democrat’s ability to say whatever suits the electorate.

Summary: Donald Trump’s Historic Interview With Elon Musk

/

Donald Trump’s interview with X CEO Elon Musk signaled a historic moment in political history; for the first time ever, a confirmed presidential candidate was interviewed on social media, providing access to all who had an account on the platform formerly known as Twitter.

The interview has garnered over 1 billion views on X since going live, though there is double counting in those figures.

While not Trump’s first appearance on X under Musk’s ownership, having previously sat down with Tucker Carlson on the site a year prior, the two-hour conversation came simultaneously as Trump returned to posting on the platform since being permanently banned in the last days of the presidency.

To break down the interview, citizen journalist @VigilantFox shared the key takeaways from a historic night.

Although the interview was supposed to begin at 8pm EST, an alleged DDOS attack delayed the live broadcast. Musk attributed this to “a lot of opposition” to Trump’s opportunity to speak freely to the American people.

After the technological problems were addressed, the two moved on to the assassination attempt on Trump in July.

Musk described the former president’s response as “inspiring”, with Trump crediting the “immigration chart” which forced him to swivel his head at just the right moment.

When the discussion shifted to policy, Trump unleashed on Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump accused Harris of stealing the “no tax on tips” policy despite hiring tens of thousands of IRS agents to target workers who are regularly tipped.

Trump also warned that Harris may allow up to 60 million new immigrants into the country.

On Joe Biden, Trump said he believed the President “might not even have an IQ at all.”

The X CEO also proposed a number of policy ideas of his own, including the creation of a “government efficiency commission” to regulate government spending.

Amid Musk’s dispute with the European Union, the business magnate noted that Trump “didn’t try to shut down the media” despite “relentless” attacks on his administration.

Tim Walz Stolen Valor Scandal Grows As Former Battalion Commander Speaks Out

/

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has made his military service a part of his public image as he seeks to help Kamala Harris win the presidential election in November.

However, his former battalion commander shed light on Harris’ running mate after an interview with Ret. Command Sgt. Maj. Thomas Behrends aired – and it’s not looking good for him.

The National Guard veteran told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that accusations of stolen valor are “far darker than a lot of people think,” adding that Walz had “used the rank that he never achieved in order to advance his political career.”

Following these public allegations, Walz’s battalion commander John Kolb ripped into the Democrat in a lengthy statement on Facebook.

“I do not regret that Tim Walz retired early from the Minnesota Army National Guard, did not complete the Sergeants Major Academy, broke his enlistment contract or did not successfully complete any assignment as a Sergeant Major,” he wrote. “Unwittingly, he got out of the way for better leadership. Thomas Behrends was the right leader at the right time. He sacrificed to answer the call, leaving his family, business and farming-partner brother to train, lead and care for soldiers.”

Kolb added that “when the demands of service and leadership at the highest level got real,” Walz “chose another path” instead.

Many online were stunned by the remarks, and called for further investigative reporting by the mainstream media.

Others noted that it was Walz’ claim to his rank which had caused divisions.

There was also speculation as to how the scandal could impact the race for the White House.

Tim Walz’s Wife Says She Kept The Windows Open During BLM Riots To “Smell The Burning Tires” – And Their Daughter Helped Tip Off Rioters

/

What would you do if rioting was ongoing outside your home?

Would you consider boarding up your windows? Perhaps arming yourself in case of intrusion? Or, like Gov. Tim Walz’s wife, would you open the windows and enjoy the fumes of tires burning.

In a truly bizarre clip shared on social media, Gwen Walz said she kept the windows open at their residence in Minnesota during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots following the death of George Floyd.

“I could smell the burning tires, and that was a very real thing,” Walz said in the resurfaced clip. “I kept the windows open as long as I could because I felt like that was such a touchstone of what was happening.”

In other words – she wanted to smell the burning because she agreed what it was happening in the name of.

Social media users saw the funny side of the clip.

Others made reference to husband Tim’s remarks about opposite number J.D. Vance.

Aside from inhaling toxic fumes, Kamala Harris’ running mate’s response to the BLM riots has come under heavy scrutiny since his selection on Tuesday, August 6.

And it truly is a family affair. His daughter Hope Walz was busy tipping off rioters on X as to the National Guard’s movements by sharing confidential information with them.

“Could someone who actually has followers rely [sic] to the masses that have gotten ‘national guard’ trending that the guard WILL NOT be present tonight??” Hope wrote on the platform on May 28, 2020. “The guard can not [sic] be sent in within minutes.”
