Neither the White House nor Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign offered any statements regarding their stance on biologically males competing against biological females in the Olympics. This came after Thursday’s fight where Italian boxer Angela Carini faced off against Algeria’s Imane Khelif, ending abruptly when Carini, a biological female, was knocked out within the first minute.

The fight lasted just 46 seconds and ended after Carini was overpowered by Khelif, who had previously failed a gender test but was still allowed to compete in the women’s division. This led to more calls for a boycott of the Olympic Games, with many citing it as a clear example of the unfair advantages that can occur when biological men are permitted to compete in women’s sports.

After, former President Donald Trump and his campaign wasted no time denouncing the left amid the escalating controversy. “I WILL KEEP MEN OUT OF WOMEN’S SPORTS!” Trump wrote on Thursday on Truth Social.

“President Trump has been unequivocally clear that he will NOT stand for men competing in women’s sports – an insane and unfair reality that has been allowed to transpire because of Radical Left politicians like Kamala Harris,” said a Trump campaign spokesperson to Fox News. “When he returns to the White House, President Trump will take immediate action to protect women and girls and overturn the Harris-Biden Administration’s radical rewrite of Title IX.”

After absorbing several powerful punches from the Algerian fighter, Carini retreated to her corner where she informed her coach that her nose hurt too much to continue. A ref waved the fight over and the Italian boxer kneeled down in the ring in defeat. “She’s too strong,” Renzini recalled Carini telling him, according to Yahoo! Sports. In a heartbreaking scrum with reporters 20 minutes after the fight, Carini apologized to her nation for failing to last more than a minute. “I had entered the ring to fight,” Carini said in Italian after. “I didn’t give up, but a punch hurt too much and so I said enough. I go out with my head held high.”

The match prompted outcries from prominent swimmer and women’s sports activist Riley Gaines, among others. “Men don’t belong in women’s sports #IStandWithAngelaCarini” wrote the former University of Kentucky swimmer on X.

Even pro-trans sports activists were shocked at the outcome, criticizing the Olympics for allowing the match to go forward. “Once again I will start with the disclaimer that I have compassion for anyone who is transitioning, is trans or is suffering from gender dysphoria,” wrote entrepreneur Jason Calacanis on X. “What we are seeing at the Olympics is insane. They should restart this competition and remove the biological males. This is profoundly unfair and extremely dangerous. Someone will be killed.”

“And to the person who is a biological male and insists on competing with this massive advantage, I question your ethics and morality.”

Both Khalief and Chinese Tapei’s Lin Yu‑ting controversially entered the women’s division as biological men despite previous disqualifications in the sport. During last year’s World Boxing Championships in New Delhi, Khelif was disqualified after the International Boxing Association ruled that fighters with XY chromosomes would no longer be allowed to fight against biological women. Yu-Ting was disqualified from a bronze medal fight during the same competition. Since then, the International Olympic Committee has stripped the IBA of its status as the sport’s governing body and operated under more relaxed rules established by the IOC’s Paris 2024 Boxing Unit.

IOC spokesperson Mark Adams deflected when asked about whether the committee bears any responsibility for the outcome of the match. “I would just say that everyone competing in the women’s category is complying with the competition eligibility rules. They are women in their passports,” he told the news outlet. “These athletes competed many times before for many years,” Adams added. “They didn’t just suddenly arrive.”

The IBA countered that it undertook a “meticulous review” of fighters’ qualifications before last year’s international championship. “While IBA remains committed to ensuring competitive fairness in all of our events, we express concern over the inconsistent application of eligibility criteria by other sporting organizations, including those overseeing the Olympic Games,” the IBA said in its statement. “The IOC’s differing regulations on these matters, in which IBA is not involved, raise serious questions about both competitive fairness and athletes’ safety.”

Former boxer Ryan Garcia was apoplectic. “Now men who turned themselves into woman. Can fight woman in the Olympics. Boycott the Olympics this trans s*** is getting way outta fucking hand. Ain’t no way a man should be beating up on a woman,” he wrote on X.

Best-selling author John LeFevre tied Vice President Kamala Harris to the melee and suggested she would support overhauls of Title IX laws to allow biological men to compete in women’s sports at all levels. Former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) raged as well, writing, “The consequence of the insane trans ideology is on full display at the Olympics: biological men pretending to be women beating up female boxers, with full IOC approval. In the name of equality, they are putting actual women in danger.”

Following the announcement of JD Vance (R-OH) as former President Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick, Vance’s 2016 memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy,” has ascended to the top of the New York Times Bestseller’s list for non-fiction.

The book, which delves into Vance’s tough childhood in the small town of Middletown, Ohio, has sold over 750,000 copies since the announcement on July 15. To keep up with the surging demand, his publisher, Harper, a HarperCollins imprint, is printing hundreds of thousands of additional copies. The surge in popularity of Vance’s “Hillbilly Elegy” has been nothing short of remarkable. By July 20 alone, the memoir sold an impressive 200,000 copies in paperback, rocketing to the number one spot as the best-selling print book across all genres, according to Circana Bookscan.

This marked a dramatic increase from the previous week’s sales, which totaled just 1,500 copies according to The New York Times. Sales for the e-book and the audiobook, narrated by Vance himself, also experienced significant boosts. Since its release, the memoir has sold around three million copies and was even adapted into a movie by acclaimed director Ron Howard.

The book, a memoir by Vance, offers a profound exploration of the American white working-class through the lens of his own family history, centered in the Appalachian region. Vance delves into the struggles and resilience of people living in these often overlooked communities, discussing themes of poverty, addiction, and the American dream. Vance paints a vivid picture of his upbringing in Middletown, Ohio, and Jackson, Kentucky, depicting the impact of social, economic, and cultural forces on his family and neighbors.

His narrative is both personal and reflective, as he connects his family’s experiences with broader social issues, making the case that many people in these regions feel abandoned by the American political and economic systems. This feeling of disenfranchisement, Vance argues, has led to a cycle of poverty and despair that is difficult to break. Despite the hardships, the memoir is also a story of personal triumph—Vance’s journey from a troubled childhood to a Yale Law School graduate highlights the potential for overcoming adversity.

On the first day of the Republican National Convention, Trump unveiled his choice of Vance as his vice-presidential candidate. The announcement, posted on Trump’s preferred social media platform, Truth Social, ignited the renewed interest in Vance’s work propelling “Hillbilly Elegy” to the top spot on Amazon’s bestseller list at the time. Ohio’s first-term senator was a surprise pick among some Republicans who favored Governor Doug Bergum (R-N.D.) or Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL).

The selection of Vance, a Marine veteran and a first-time entrant on a presidential ticket, was a move within the Republican Party aiming to attract voters from the Rust Belt states—a region that resonates well with the themes of Vance’s memoir. Following Trump’s announcement on July 15, Vance formally accepted the nomination on July 17, during the convention. His acceptance speech, infused with references to his personal journey as detailed in his book, struck a chord with many attendees.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has abruptly canceled his plans to visit the Hamptons, where he was scheduled to rub shoulders with affluent donors. The Democrat was slated to attend at least two high-profile events, including a meet and greet at the luxurious home of well-known public relations executive Mike Kempner.

The sudden change in plans is now fueling speculation about his political future as he possibly prepares to step onto the national stage. The cancellation comes amid whispers that he’s being considered as a running mate for Vice President Kamala Harris, according to sources familiar with the matter who spoke to CNBC News.

“The Governor’s trip was planned several weeks ago and included several fundraisers for his own campaign committee,” Shapiro spokesman Manuel Bonder confirmed to NBC News. “His schedule has changed and he is no longer traveling to the Hamptons this weekend.” The event, planned for Sunday, was to host over 100 guests from various sectors including legal, sports, and finance, according to a source who requested anonymity to discuss the private matter freely with the outlet.

Known for his high approval ratings, Shapiro has been gaining attention as the potential running mate. His appeal in the crucial swing state has made him a favorite among some of Harris’ advisors.  Additionally, Shapiro was slated to attend a fundraiser in East Hampton on Saturday for a group known as The Next 50. The strategic choice of Philadelphia for a week of barnstorm campaigning, announced by Harris’ campaign to start next Tuesday, has only intensified rumors about Shapiro’s potential selection.

The odds are tilting significantly in favor of Shapiro as well. Currently, Shapiro is the frontrunner with odds set at -333, indicating a strong likelihood of his selection according to Oddschecker. Trailing behind him is Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear (+820) and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) (+1400).

Before his gubernatorial term, Shapiro served as the Attorney General of Pennsylvania. As governor, Shapiro has continued to position himself as a moderate Democrat who prioritizes economic opportunities and public services. His leadership style, often described as hands-on and inclusive, has appealed to a broad spectrum of Pennsylvanians, contributing to his high approval ratings. Shapiro has consistently avoided addressing speculation regarding his possible selection, maintaining a stance of not entertaining “hypotheticals.”

“This is a deeply personal decision that the vice president will make…that decision should be made free of any sort of political pressure,” Shapiro said earlier this month. Many Republicans consider Shapiro to be a strong vice presidential candidate for Harris. Not only did Shapiro secure a landslide victory in 2022 against Republican State Sen. Doug Mastriano, but he’s also respected as a powerful campaigner and communicator. Importantly, he has managed to maintain this reputation without completely alienating Pennsylvania Republicans.

“I just think Shapiro is super strong,” said an ally of former President Trump to NBC News. “And Republicans should be concerned about it. If I were her, that would be the pick.” As an observant Jew, Shapiro could appeal to disenchanted voters of faith who once supported Democrats but now feel disconnected from the party.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has abruptly canceled his plans to visit the Hamptons, where he was scheduled to rub shoulders with affluent donors. The Democrat was slated to attend at least two high-profile events, including a meet and greet at the luxurious home of well-known public relations executive Mike Kempner.

The sudden change in plans is now fueling speculation about his political future as he possibly prepares to step onto the national stage. The cancellation comes amid whispers that he’s being considered as a running mate for Vice President Kamala Harris, according to sources familiar with the matter who spoke to CNBC News.

“The Governor’s trip was planned several weeks ago and included several fundraisers for his own campaign committee,” Shapiro spokesman Manuel Bonder confirmed to NBC News. “His schedule has changed and he is no longer traveling to the Hamptons this weekend.” The event, planned for Sunday, was to host over 100 guests from various sectors including legal, sports, and finance, according to a source who requested anonymity to discuss the private matter freely with the outlet.

Known for his high approval ratings, Shapiro has been gaining attention as the potential running mate. His appeal in the crucial swing state has made him a favorite among some of Harris’ advisors.  Additionally, Shapiro was slated to attend a fundraiser in East Hampton on Saturday for a group known as The Next 50. The strategic choice of Philadelphia for a week of barnstorm campaigning, announced by Harris’ campaign to start next Tuesday, has only intensified rumors about Shapiro’s potential selection.

The odds are tilting significantly in favor of Shapiro as well. Currently, Shapiro is the frontrunner with odds set at -333, indicating a strong likelihood of his selection according to Oddschecker. Trailing behind him is Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear (+820) and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) (+1400).

Before his gubernatorial term, Shapiro served as the Attorney General of Pennsylvania. As governor, Shapiro has continued to position himself as a moderate Democrat who prioritizes economic opportunities and public services. His leadership style, often described as hands-on and inclusive, has appealed to a broad spectrum of Pennsylvanians, contributing to his high approval ratings. Shapiro has consistently avoided addressing speculation regarding his possible selection, maintaining a stance of not entertaining “hypotheticals.”

“This is a deeply personal decision that the vice president will make…that decision should be made free of any sort of political pressure,” Shapiro said earlier this month. Many Republicans consider Shapiro to be a strong vice presidential candidate for Harris. Not only did Shapiro secure a landslide victory in 2022 against Republican State Sen. Doug Mastriano, but he’s also respected as a powerful campaigner and communicator. Importantly, he has managed to maintain this reputation without completely alienating Pennsylvania Republicans.

“I just think Shapiro is super strong,” said an ally of former President Trump to NBC News. “And Republicans should be concerned about it. If I were her, that would be the pick.” As an observant Jew, Shapiro could appeal to disenchanted voters of faith who once supported Democrats but now feel disconnected from the party. This could potentially make him a more compelling candidate than Harris herself. “Shapiro creates a super interesting dynamic,” the person added.

On Thursday, the House Judiciary Committee launched a formal investigation into Loren Merchan’s Democrat fundraising firm, Authentic Campaigns. Loren is the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over the high-profile criminal trial of former U.S. President Donald Trump, resulting in Trump’s conviction.

Loren’s firm is known for its deep ties to prominent Democratic figures and its strategic involvement in digital campaign tactics. Today’s probe was set into motion with a direct letter to Loren. “The Committee on the Judiciary is conducting oversight of politically motivated prosecutions by state and local officials,” the letter read.

The committee also detailed the complex backdrop of Bragg’s legal actions against Trump, which used “a convoluted and novel legal theory” to indict the former president on charges that federal officials had previously declined to pursue.

“Experts have raised substantial concerns with Judge Merchan, your father, refusing to recuse himself from President Trump’s case despite your work on behalf of President Trump’s political adversaries,” the letter continued. Since 2019, Loren has been a pivotal figure in Democratic campaigns, notably serving as the director of digital persuasion for then-presidential candidate Kamala Harris, while also holding a vice presidency at Authentic Campaigns.

Following Kamala Harris’s withdrawal from the primary race, Loren was then promoted to president of the firm at the time, which later played a significant role in the Biden-Harris campaign of 2020. The firm’s innovative strategies included a heavy emphasis on digital paid media and AI-driven voter engagement, tailored to reach swing-state voters amid pandemic-induced restrictions.

According to the Judiciary Committee’s letter, public records reveal that the Biden-Harris campaign paid Authentic Campaigns over $2 million for its services within just one month. “Your firm’s tactics to ‘harness the potential of conversation AI for presidential campaign marketing’ has been both noted and scrutinized in light of recent events,” the letter wrote.

The probe also sheds light on substantial fundraising activities linked to the indictment of Trump. It notes that Authentic Campaigns’ top clients, including Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) and the Senate Majority PAC, have collectively raised over $93 million in campaign donations, leveraging the narrative of Trump’s indictment. Schiff’s campaign alone has garnered $20 million in support since the indictment, with the Senate Majority PAC accumulating an impressive $73.6 million.

Earlier on Thursday, former President Trump requested that Judge Merchan recuse himself from the Manhattan criminal trial. The 2024 GOP nominee alleges that Merchan has connections to Harris, which he claims biased her judgment. According to Trump’s legal team, the judge’s daughter has a professional relationship with Harris, who is gearing up to run for president as the Democrat nominee. They argue that her involvement in Democratic political campaigns could pose a conflict of interest.

The House Judiciary’s inquiry into Authentic Campaigns aims to uncover the extent to which political and personal connections may have influenced judicial actions and campaign strategies. As the Committee stated, “At a minimum, there is a perception that you and Authentic Campaigns could profit considerably from President Trump’s prosecution in a forum overseen by your father.”

Trump recently threw a Hail Mary, urging Merchan to toss out his conviction claiming the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling shields him with broad immunity for any actions taken during his time in the Oval Office.

In a showdown on “The View” GOP Governor Chris Sununu (R-N.H.) unleashed a blistering assessment of the Democrats’ decision to anoint Kamala Harris as their presidential nominee, sparking a back-and-forth with the show’s hosts. Sununu pulled no punches while questioning the transparency and fairness of the process that led to Harris’s candidacy.

“Guys, look, three phone calls were made from [Chuck] Schumer and [Nancy] Pelosi. Biden said, ‘I’m in this thing, I’m not leaving.’ A couple phone calls are made and all of a sudden he’s pushed out. And in 48 hours, all the delegates aren’t given a choice of other candidates. They’re told you’re going to get behind [Harris],” Sununu explained.

Whoopi Goldberg then melted down, insisting that the delegates had indeed made a clear choice: “That’s actually not what happened! The other choices decided she was the best choice. That’s what they decided.”

But Sununu didn’t let up, probing into who really made the decisions, prompting a rapid exchange about the role of delegates and party leaders. “But who decided?” he pressed. “A lot of people voted for the ticket,” reminding the audience of the electoral support for the Biden-Harris ticket previously.

WATCH:

“Candidates need to give them a reason to turn out and vote,” Sununu wrote in a New York Times op-ed. “What solutions are you going to provide that will make life better for them, their families and their communities? This election will likely be a coin toss, and whoever turns out these voters will be well positioned to win.”

After Biden announced his decision to step down from the 2024 presidential race, a wave of controversy emerged surrounding Kamala Harris and the allocation of electoral delegates. The move initially caused turbulence within the Party, raising questions about the party’s unity and electoral strategy.

Biden’s departure left the party to reorganize its primary process, with Harris positioned as the prominent contender for the nomination. However, the controversy lies in the complex delegate allocation process, which some have argued unfairly benefited Harris due to her incumbency and existing support network within the party structure.

The party initiated their formal vote on Thursday to nominate Harris as their candidate, marking the beginning of a virtual roll call process that will extend over several days. Set to conclude on August 5, the voting process involves delegates casting their votes via personalized, watermarked forms that can be returned electronically or confirmed through a call from the DNC. The roll call is expected to conclude with Harris confirmed as the party’s nominee.

Her ascent to the nomination was all but assured after Biden’s announcement on July 21 that he would not seek re-election. The spotlight now turns to her choice of a vice-presidential running mate, with insiders suggesting an announcement could come as early as next Monday. According to CBS News, Harris is reportedly considering a shortlist that includes prominent figures such as Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

The Democratic National Committee has committed to releasing the full results of the roll call after its completion, though it remains unclear if an announcement will be made as soon as Harris secures the necessary majority of 1,976 delegates.

As the Paris Olympics continue to make headlines, one incident involving a biological male athlete competing in women’s boxing ignited a firestorm of contention. The match on Wednesday saw Italian boxer Angela Carini face off against Algerian athlete Imane Khelif, ending abruptly when Carini was knocked out within the first minute.

The fight lasted just 46 seconds and ended after Carini was overpowered by Khelif, who had previously failed a gender test but was still allowed to compete in the women’s division. This led to calls for a boycott of the Olympic Games, with many citing it as a clear example of the unfair advantages that can occur when biological men are permitted to compete in women’s sports.

Among the most vocal critics of this policy were several NFL superstars, who took to social media to express their dismay over the direction in which competitive sports are heading. Former all-pro Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant gave his blunt reaction on social media.

“God made you a woman for a reason. God made you a man for a reason. God didn’t put you in a foreign body. Also, men shouldn’t be able to compete in women divisions. My opinion,” Bryant said on X.

God made you a woman for a reason

God made you a man for a reason

God didn’t put you in a foreign body

Also

Men shouldn’t be able to compete in women divisions

My opinion

— Dez Bryant (@DezBryant) August 1, 2024

His sentiments were echoed by Sauce Gardner, another NFL standout for the New York Jets, who responded to a tweet questioning the fairness of biologically born men boxing women with a gif from the movie Shrek, depicting Donkey shaking his head in disapproval.

The match also prompted outcries from prominent swimmer and women’s sports activist Riley Gaines, among many others. “Men don’t belong in women’s sports #IStandWithAngelaCarini” wrote the former University of Kentucky swimmer.

After absorbing several powerful punches from the Algerian fighter, Carini retreated to her corner where she informed her coach that her nose hurt too much to continue. A ref waved the fight over and the Italian boxer kneeled down in the ring in defeat. “She’s too strong,” Renzini recalled Carini telling him, according to Yahoo! Sports. In a heartbreaking scrum with reporters 20 minutes after the fight, Carini apologized to her nation for failing to last more than a minute. “I had entered the ring to fight,” Carini said in Italian after. “I didn’t give up, but a punch hurt too much and so I said enough. I go out with my head held high.”

Even pro-trans sports activists were shocked at the outcome, criticizing the Olympics for allowing the match to go forward. “Once again I will start with the disclaimer that I have compassion for anyone who is transitioning, is trans or is suffering from gender dysphoria,” wrote entrepreneur Jason Calacanis on X. “What we are seeing at the Olympics is insane. They should restart this competition and remove the biological males. This is profoundly unfair and extremely dangerous. Someone will be killed.”

“And to the person who is a biological male and insists on competing with this massive advantage, I question your ethics and morality.”

Once again I will start with the disclaimer that I have compassion for anyone who is transitioning, is trans or is suffering from gender dysphoria.

What we are seeing at the Olympics is insane. They should restart this competition and remove the biological males.

This is… https://t.co/k1rIXh9XAn

Former boxer Ryan Garcia wrote, “Now men who turned themselves into woman. Can fight woman in the Olympics. Boycott the Olympics this trans s*** is getting way outta fucking hand. Ain’t no way a man should be beating up on a woman.”

Now men who turned themselves into woman

Can fight woman in the Olympics

You gotta be fucking kidding me

Boycott the Olympics this trans shit is getting way outta fucking hand

Ain’t no way a man should be beating up on a woman

Best-selling author John LeFevre tied Vice President Kamala Harris to the melee and suggested she would support overhauls of Title IX laws to allow biological men to compete in women’s sports at all levels. Former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) raged as well, writing, “The consequence of the insane trans ideology is on full display at the Olympics: biological men pretending to be women beating up female boxers, with full IOC approval. In the name of equality, they are putting actual women in danger.”

As the Paris Olympics continue to make headlines, one incident involving a biological male athlete competing in women’s boxing ignited a firestorm of contention. The match on Wednesday saw Italian boxer Angela Carini face off against Algerian athlete Imane Khelif, ending abruptly when Carini was knocked out within the first minute.

The fight lasted just 46 seconds and ended after Carini was overpowered by Khelif, who had previously failed a gender test but was still allowed to compete in the women’s division. This led to calls for a boycott of the Olympic Games, with many citing it as a clear example of the unfair advantages that can occur when biological men are permitted to compete in women’s sports.

Among the most vocal critics of this policy were several NFL superstars, who took to social media to express their dismay over the direction in which competitive sports are heading. Former all-pro Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant gave his blunt reaction on social media.

“God made you a woman for a reason. God made you a man for a reason. God didn’t put you in a foreign body. Also, men shouldn’t be able to compete in women divisions. My opinion,” Bryant said on X.

His sentiments were echoed by Sauce Gardner, another NFL standout for the New York Jets, who responded to a tweet questioning the fairness of biologically born men boxing women with a gif from the movie Shrek, depicting Donkey shaking his head in disapproval.

The match also prompted outcries from prominent swimmer and women’s sports activist Riley Gaines, among many others. “Men don’t belong in women’s sports #IStandWithAngelaCarini” wrote the former University of Kentucky swimmer.

After absorbing several powerful punches from the Algerian fighter, Carini retreated to her corner where she informed her coach that her nose hurt too much to continue. A ref waved the fight over and the Italian boxer kneeled down in the ring in defeat. “She’s too strong,” Renzini recalled Carini telling him, according to Yahoo! Sports. In a heartbreaking scrum with reporters 20 minutes after the fight, Carini apologized to her nation for failing to last more than a minute. “I had entered the ring to fight,” Carini said in Italian after. “I didn’t give up, but a punch hurt too much and so I said enough. I go out with my head held high.”

Even pro-trans sports activists were shocked at the outcome, criticizing the Olympics for allowing the match to go forward. “Once again I will start with the disclaimer that I have compassion for anyone who is transitioning, is trans or is suffering from gender dysphoria,” wrote entrepreneur Jason Calacanis on X. “What we are seeing at the Olympics is insane. They should restart this competition and remove the biological males. This is profoundly unfair and extremely dangerous. Someone will be killed.”

“And to the person who is a biological male and insists on competing with this massive advantage, I question your ethics and morality.”

After the release of three American citizens from Russia, President Joe Biden once again made the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The president’s creepy remarks to a young girl came while celebrating the return of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, Marine veteran Paul Whelan, and Russian-American journalist Alsu Kurmasheva.

The presser, which was supposed to be a straightforward conference about the negotiation of one of the largest prisoner swaps since the Cold War, took an uncomfortable turn. Following his speech, Biden called attention to Kurmasheva’s daughter, who is turning 13.

“You all know we have a tradition in the Biden family. We sing happy birthday,” Biden said as everyone started to sing to Kurmasheva’s daughter.

Biden initiated a rendition of “Happy Birthday,” which was followed by a creepy comment. As the song concluded, Biden said to the young girl, “Remember, no serious guys until you’re 30.” The situation was further exacerbated when Biden proceeded to hug the young girl for an extended period.

WATCH:

The deal between the Kremlin and the Biden administration was part of a “massive swap of political prisoners and journalists” that also involved several German citizens caught up in the detention system. The most high-profile of the soon-to-be free men is Gershkovich, an international reporter for the Wall Street Journal who was arrested and charged with espionage. Since his arrest on March 29th, 2023 while reporting from the Ural Mountains city of Yekaterinburg, an international outcry by journalists and reporting organizations has amped up the pressure on the U.S. to reach a deal that would see him freed.

Dow Jones CEO Almar Latour and Wall Street Journal Editor-in-Chief Emma Tucker blasted the “sham conviction” of Gershkovich last year. “This disgraceful, sham conviction comes after Evan has spent 478 days in prison, wrongfully detained, away from his family and friends, prevented from reporting, all for doing his job as a journalist,” Latour and Tucker said. “We will continue to do everything possible to press for Evan’s release and to support his family,” they continued. “Journalism is not a crime, and we will not rest until he’s released. This must end now.”

Whelan has had it far worse, however. The Marine veteran was arrested back in 2018. The corporate security executive from Michigan was hit with espionage-related charges and has been jailed in Russia for more than five years, according to his family. He was sentenced to 16 years in prison. “We’ve made clear to the Russians our expectation that we will learn more about the charges, come to understand what it is he’s been accused of and if the detention is not appropriate we will demand his immediate return,” former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said at the time.

The executive retired from the Marines in 2007 after being dishonorably discharged after being convicted by a military court of using fake identity papers and attempting to steal thousands of dollars while serving in Iraq. Since 2008 he has been living in Russia, cultivating a network of new friends and associates as he worked to rebuild his life. “My brother is not a spy,” Whelan’s brother David said shortly after his arrest. “Paul’s background is in law enforcement. He has military experience, he’s in corporate security.”

Left unsaid is which Russian prisoners will be freed by either the U.S. or Germany as part of the swap. The most recent exchange of prisoners came in 2022 when WNBA star Brittney Griner was released after arriving in Russia for a game and being found in possession of a marijuana vape pen. Her freedom was predicated on the U.S. releasing Viktor Bout, a notorious international arms dealer linked to small arms transactions around the world. Bout was less than halfway through a 25-year sentence.

Former President Donald Trump and his legal team have launched a new request to disqualify Judge Juan Merchan from Trump’s New York criminal trial. The move comes on the heels of revelations about Merchan’s professional connections to Vice President Kamala Harris, whose campaign was once a client of Merchan’s daughter, Loren.

The appeal submitted on Thursday argues that Merchan’s impartiality was compromised, citing his daughter’s financial ties to high-profile Democratic figures, including Harris. Loren Merchan’s consulting firm, Authentic Campaigns, reportedly saw a significant increase in business this year, nearly doubling its intake from the previous year with payments amounting to approximately $8 million from Adam Schiff’s (D-CA) campaign alone.

The firm also lists new clients such as Dan Goldman (D-CA) and Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI), deepening the political connections that would pose conflicts of interest. Schiff, a notable figure in Trump’s impeachment, and other clients have extensively leveraged Merchan’s digital consulting services.

Early in the trial, Merchan slapped a gag order on Trump and denied nearly all of his defense motions, only to find Trump in contempt two weeks later for violating the order. Despite the controversy over Merchan’s potential conflicts of interest, including financial ties to Democrats and a request by Trump for his recusal, Merchan remained on the case.

Journalist Julie Kelly wrote in her Substack:

Democrats have paid the company owned by the politically active daughter of compromised Judge Juan Merchan at least $12.7 million in the first half of this year.

Federal election reports show Authentic Campaigns, the consulting firm owned by Loren Merchan, raked in the windfall between January 1 and July 1, 2024. Her father currently presides over Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Donald Trump in New York City.

The sum represents an 86 percent increase in Authentic Campaigns receipts from the same time period in 2022. Democratic elected officials, candidates, and PACs reported $6.8 million in payments to Merchan between January 1 and July 1, 2022, the last general election cycle.

According to the firm’s website, Authentic Campaigns specializes in “digital marketing and fundraising.”

After Trump’s conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records, the sentencing was delayed by Merchan until September, a strategic postponement until the peak of the 2024 election season, sparking speculation about Merchan’s motives given his family’s business interests and timing aligned with the electoral cycle.

Meanwhile, the gag order imposed on Trump remains in effect, prohibiting him from making public comments about the court’s legal staff or their relatives, which includes Loren Merchan. The order was upheld by an appeals court earlier Thursday, even after Trump’s conviction, ensuring that the former president’s ability to speak freely about the case and involved parties is curtailed until his sentencing in September.

Trump’s attempt to have Merchan recused is seen by many of his supporters as a critical move to ensure a fair trial, particularly as Trump faces multiple legal challenges that could have significant implications for his political future. In recent weeks, former President Trump has gone after Kamala Harris, who is the presumptive Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election.

, Former President Donald Trump and his legal team have launched a new request to disqualify Judge Juan Merchan from Trump’s New York criminal trial. The move comes on the heels of revelations about Merchan’s professional connections to Vice President Kamala Harris, whose campaign was once a client of Merchan’s daughter, Loren. The appeal submitted on Thursday argues that Merchan’s impartiality was compromised, citing his daughter’s financial ties to high-profile Democratic figures, including Harris. Loren Merchan’s consulting firm, Authentic Campaigns, reportedly saw a significant increase in business this year, nearly doubling its intake from the previous year with payments amounting to approximately $8 million from Adam Schiff’s (D-CA) campaign alone. The firm also lists new clients such as Dan Goldman (D-CA) and Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI), deepening the political connections that would pose conflicts of interest. Schiff, a notable figure in Trump’s impeachment, and other clients have extensively leveraged Merchan’s digital consulting services.

Despite the controversy over Merchan’s potential conflicts of interest, including financial ties to Democrats and a request by Trump for his recusal, Merchan remained on the case. Website for Loren Merchan’s consulting firm still lists “Kamala Harris for President” (2020) as its top client. pic.twitter.com/1IaZrmGuzJ — Julie Kelly (@julie_kelly2) August 1, 2024 Journalist Julie Kelly wrote in her Substack: Democrats have paid the company owned by the politically active daughter of compromised Judge Juan Merchan at least $12.7 million in the first half of this year. Federal election reports show Authentic Campaigns, the consulting firm owned by Loren Merchan, raked in the windfall between January 1 and July 1, 2024. Her father currently presides over Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Donald Trump in New York City. The sum represents an 86 percent increase in Authentic Campaigns receipts from the same time period in 2022. Democratic elected officials, candidates, and PACs reported $6.8 million in payments to Merchan between January 1 and July 1, 2022, the last general election cycle. According to the firm’s website, Authentic Campaigns specializes in “digital marketing and fundraising.” After Trump’s conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records, the sentencing was delayed by Merchan until September, a strategic postponement until the peak of the 2024 election season, sparking speculation about Merchan’s motives given his family’s business interests and timing aligned with the electoral cycle. Meanwhile, the gag order imposed on Trump remains in effect, prohibiting him from making public comments about the court’s legal staff or their relatives, which includes Loren Merchan. The order was upheld by an appeals court earlier Thursday, even after Trump’s conviction, ensuring that the former president’s ability to speak freely about the case and involved parties is curtailed until his sentencing in September. Trump’s attempt to have Merchan recused is seen by many of his supporters as a critical move to ensure a fair trial, particularly as Trump faces multiple legal challenges that could have significant implications for his political future.

In the aftermath of FBI Director Christopher Wray’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, former President Donald Trump, along with prominent Republicans, are calling for Wray’s immediate resignation. The controversy stems from Wray’s comments suggesting that Trump may not have been directly hit by a bullet in the recent assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Christopher Wray, appointed by Trump in 2017, faced ridicule as he discussed the FBI’s ongoing investigation into the incident. However, his remarks did not sit well with the former president and his allies, who have accused Wray of being dishonest and unfit for his role as the head of the nation’s primary investigative agency.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) expressed his longstanding doubts about Wray’s capabilities in a Fox News interview on Friday. “I’ve always said Wray should resign long before he answered that question in Judiciary Committee yesterday,” Comer said vehemently. “Look, if Christopher Wray is head of the FBI and he was telling the truth that he didn’t notice anything wrong with Joe Biden then he’s not much of an investigator and he shouldn’t be leading our chief investigative agency in America.”

“But more than likely he was lying to Congress. I don’t think that’s the first time I’ve had to deal with Christopher Ray over the past year and a half and dealt with his obstruction and the dirty tricks that the FBI has played all along the way,” Comer added.

WATCH:

The calls for Wray’s resignation represent an escalation in the ongoing tension between Trump’s camp and the Department of Justice. On Wednesday, Trump blasted Wray, demanding his resignation over accusations of misleading Congress regarding Biden’s mental fitness. Trump wrote, “If that is the case, Director Wray should resign immediately from the FBI, and stop “sweet talking” Congress every time he goes up, which he loves to do, because anybody can see that Joe Biden is cognitively and physically challenged, and if you can’t see that, you sure as hell can’t be running the FBI – Unless, that is, you want to illegally lead the Raid on Mar-a-Lago. Wray has to resign, and NOW, for LYING TO CONGRESS!”

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) also expressed his doubts about Wray’s testimony, stating, “I didn’t find Wray’s testimony credible. We’ve all seen the video, we’ve seen the analysis, we’ve heard it from multiple sources in different angles that a bullet went through his ear. I’m not sure it matters that much,” Johnson said. He criticized Wray for withholding information, noting, “He was not forthcoming with some of the information that we would expect.” Johnson also voiced his concerns about federal leadership, adding, “There’s a lot of frustration and concern about the leadership with these agencies,” an apparent nod to issues within the Secret Service as well.

Steven Cheung, a spokesman for Trump’s campaign, sharply criticized Wray, stating, “Anyone who believes this conspiracy bullsh*t is either mentally deficient or willfully peddling falsehoods for political reasons.” The FBI issued a clarifying statement on Thursday, asserting, “Since the day of the attack, the FBI has been consistent and clear that the shooting was an attempted assassination of former President Trump which resulted in his injury, as well as the death of a heroic father and the injuries of several other victims.”

The statement further detailed, “The FBI’s Shooting Reconstruction Team continues to examine evidence from the scene, including bullet fragments, and the investigation remains ongoing.”

As the 2024 presidential election countdown commences, Vice President Kamala Harris is stepping up as the nominee for a Democrat vision across the United States. However, with just over 100 days left until voters head to the polls, it remains uncertain if she can succeed in convincing the nation—a challenge Joe Biden also faced during his tenure.

Despite their efforts, polls suggest a growing disillusionment among voters, with a majority applauding Biden’s decision not to run and even suggesting he should step down from his current role immediately. The Democratic Party now faces a steep uphill battle as it attempts to solidify its base and counter the resurgent Republican momentum sparked by Trump’s lead.

A new Rasmussen Reports survey revealed a significant lead for former President Donald Trump in a potential showdown against Vice President Kamala Harris. In the latest poll, Trump decisively captured the support of 50% of likely U.S. voters, with Harris trailing at 43%.

The seven-point advantage for Trump comes in light of Biden’s withdrawal from the race—an exit many attributed to concerns over his mental sharpness. This strikes at a vulnerable time for the Democrats, who are now scrambling to rally around Harris.

Nolte: Poll—Trump Leads Kamala by 7 Nationally, 50-43 Percent https://t.co/81ZuLIZXFc via @BreitbartNews

— Rasmussen Reports (@Rasmussen_Poll) July 26, 2024

The survey also sheds light on national concerns that are shaping the election. A significant portion of the electorate remains wary of potential election fraud, with nearly one in five voters reporting receipt of multiple mail-in ballots in the 2020 elections. Issues like domestic oil and gas production, climate change, and immigration are polarizing voters. For instance, while half of the voters recognize the perils of climate change, a majority still advocates for increased domestic energy production.

The country’s direction itself is under fire, with only 29% of likely U.S. voters feeling that things are headed the right way. This dissatisfaction is mirrored in the lack of trust towards federal government branches and officials, many of whom voters believe are dishonest in their dealings.

Following Biden’s lackluster performance at the CNN debate last month, he officially endorsed Harris, who quickly secured enough delegate endorsements to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination. This compounds the challenges for Democrats as they strive to unify their base and counter the surging momentum of the Republicans, fueled by Trump’s recent nomination at the Republican National Convention. Trump, whose popularity soared to new heights following his survival of an assassination attempt less than two weeks ago, has expressed eagerness to debate Harris.

Despite this, he has not yet committed to any debates. Harris, on the other hand, has remained non-committal about participating in a proposed debate hosted by Fox News. Before exiting the race, Biden had positioned Harris to potentially face Trump’s running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, in future debates. Democratic delegates are expected to confirm Harris as their party’s official nominee via a virtual vote by August 7. Meanwhile, the political landscape continues to evolve rapidly as both parties gear up for a contentious electoral season.

With Harris now at the helm of the Democratic ticket, the pressure mounts not only to unite a fragmented party but also to restore faith in a government beleaguered by accusations of mismanagement.
