7 Things: Lies and attacks continue at the DNC; Alabama library behaves responsibly angering many; and more …

7. Vice President Kamala Harris has not yet released a detailed policy page on her campaign website, which led former President Donald Trump’s campaign to create and launch a mock platform website for her. The site criticizes Harris on issues like immigration, taxes, and crime, noting she supports policies that would open borders, raise taxes, and free criminals. The site highlights issues like border security, taxes, and crime, and lays out Harris’ history of supporting extreme policies, as Harris faces pressure for not holding a press conference or outlining her platform clearly during the Democratic National Convention.

6. Almost as if it was a scheme was drawn up by a talk show host to depict what a disaster “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” policies would be in the world of national security, Sneha Nair, recently appointed as a special assistant at the National Nuclear Security Administration, advocates for integrating DEI into nuclear policy of the U.S. in order to make sure we are “queering nuclear weapons.” Nair claims to be addressing white supremacy in the nuclear field and comically argues that DEI principles are crucial for improving nuclear security and preventing insider threats and she also supports expanding access to national security positions for individuals with foreign ties as a step toward eliminating racial bias in the field.

5. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate, plans to address the nation from Phoenix, Arizona on Friday, to discuss his campaign’s future with the assumption that he may be ready to endorse former President Donald Trump, the Republican candidate. This announcement comes shortly after his running mate, Nicole Shanahan, expressed support for Kennedy potentially joining a future Trump administration and criticized the Democratic Party for keeping him off the ballot and, coincidentally, former President Trump is also holding a rally nearby on the same day.

4. Former President Donald Trump held is first outdoor rally since a madman attempted to blow his head off, leaving Trump injured and one dead. This has not changed the rhetoric of the media and Democrats suggesting he is a racist monster who hates democracy. At the rally, Trump rightly criticized anti-Israel/anti-American/anti-Semitic mob outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, condemning their actions, and calling for a one-year sentence for burning the American flag, which seems unlikely to be upheld by the Supreme Court.

3. The jig is up for the Biden administration and the facts are now out that the U.S. job market wasn’t as strong as initially reported for much of 2023 and early 2024, according to a revised report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which misled the American people on the number of jobs created, just like they have on crime, immigration, inflation, and everything else. The revision shows that 818,000 fewer jobs were created than previously thought, with job growth averaging 174,000 per month instead of 242,000, which is a significant and could lead to Federal Reserve to cut interest rates at its September meeting, the Harris campaign will then claim credit for the cut of .25 or .50 points.

2. The Ozark-Dale County Library in Alabama closed for a month to review approximately 8,000 children’s and young adult books to ensure compliance with new state guidelines. The closure followed a yearlong controversy over the presence of LGBTQ and other potentially “inappropriate” content in libraries following degenerates across the country demanding children interact with drag queens and have access to inappropriate content at their local libraries and resisting any attempt to return the sanity and remove said content. Library staff reviewed each book for explicit content, but found none that violated the guidelines, which is good to see competent leadership responding to concerns of the public instead of telling them to let them do whatever they want against the wishes of the community.

1. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz gave his acceptance speech to a crowd of Democrat delegates waving signs calling him “coach” in a speech that was heavy on attacks against President Donald Trump and U.S. Senator JD Vance (R-Ohio) and light on any actual substance. Walz downplayed his military service, reducing it to a simple resume blurb after he was exposed as embellishing his record; repeated his “mind your own damn business” line; and suggested that the current Vice President, Kamala Harris, will bring down costs and fix the problems created by her term as vice president for President Joe Biden. All this without a single policy prescription beyond promises to raise taxes on businesses and end tax cuts on individual.
