Can RFK Jr.’s health platform convince women to vote Trump?

By MIG Reports One of Donald Trump’s significant electoral challenges is attracting moderate voters and women, particularly those who support the Democratic pro-choice platform, despite Trump’s neutral stance on abortion at the federal level. These voter groups, which traditionally lean Democratic, have proven elusive for Trump’s campaign. However, recent shifts in voter priorities and emerging alliances could alter the political landscape. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s (RFK) recent Trump endorsement has shifted focus for many moderates and women who prioritize health freedom and child welfare. This alliance may offer a new avenue for Republicans to appeal to these voters. READ THE FULL STORY AT MIG REPORTS

Sloan: RFK Jr.’s Trump endorsement redefines the Kennedy legacy

By KELLY SLOAN | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice We have discovered, over these last few months, that even the surname “Kennedy” is no longer adequate insulation against the ire of the current Democratic Party. Stalwart party loyalists and an unsympathetic media never much cared for Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s quixotic attempt to unseat President Biden anyway, but his withdrawal from the race and subsequent endorsement of Donald Trump proved almost too much for some of the more hysteria-prone out there. Lawrence O’Donnell, never one for sober analysis or circumspection, called RFK jr. “the Jeffery Dahmer of the animal kingdom” – presumably a reference to his propensity for dumping dead bears in Central Park and cutting up whale carcasses for ease of transport, an activity which has evide...

Special council Jack Smith springs another indictment on Trump

By Fred Lucas | Daily Signal In an attempt to salvage his prosecution against Donald Trump, special counsel Jack Smith secured a reindictment Tuesday against the 45th president on four felony charges in his Washington, D.C., election interference case.  The case revolves around Trump’s various challenges to the 2020 election outcome, most notably his effort to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory on Jan. 6, 2021. The Washington federal grand jury’s new 36-page indictment is similar to the previous indictment in the case. However, in early July, the U.S. Supreme Court determined Trump had immunity for actions taken in his official capacity as president. The new indictment is Smith’s attempt to recast his case in light of the court’s ...

Biden-Harris Administration uses little-known hiring mechanism to staff key DOJ divisions

By Robert Schmad | Daily Caller The Biden-Harris administration has deployed a little-known hiring mechanism to staff key divisions of the Department of Justice (DOJ) ahead of the 2024 election, according to documents provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation by Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT). Hundreds of people, primarily lawyers and judges, have been appointed to the Environmental and Natural Resources (ENRD) and Antitrust and Immigration Review divisions of the DOJ using its “Schedule A” hiring authority since President Joe Biden took office, documents shared with the DCNF by PPT show. Schedule A hiring does not require appointments to be made on the basis of merit and appointments do not expire at the end of the current president’s term, meaning these bureaucrats will stick ...

In another flip-flop, when Biden was running Dems wanted closed-mic, but now Harris seeks open-mic

By Olivia Land | Washington Examiner A lot has changed since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and was replaced as Democratic nominee by Vice President Kamala Harris. The latest change: Back when Biden was the presumptive nominee, Democrats did not want to be interrupted by former President Donald Trump during a debate. Now under Harris, they do. That’s the main takeaway from Monday’s back-and-forth about whether the first presidential debate should be open-mic night. The original debate ground rules banned interruptions and crosstalk to the point that the networks could turn off the microphone of any candidate who tried to go beyond their allotted speaking time.

House GOP navigates multiple investigations into Trump assassination attempt

By Aubrie Spady | Politco Speaker Mike Johnson quickly moved last month to launch a bipartisan investigation into the assassination attempt against Donald Trump. House conservatives made it clear on Monday that they have their own ideas. Johnson and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries each appointed members late last month to a task force that is aimed at identifying failures that led to the shooting and preventing such an incident from happening again. The panel was unanimously approved by House lawmakers, has subpoena power and effectively took over investigations related to the assassination attempt, a way to theoretically prevent multiple unwieldy probes.

Tulsi Gabbard, who once ran as Democrat for President, endorses Trump in 2024 race

By Aubrie Spady | Fox News Democrat-turned Independent Tulsi Gabbard, the former congresswoman from Hawaii, has endorsed former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race against Vice President Kamala Harris. "We as Americans must stand together to reject this anti-freedom culture of political retaliation and abuse of power. We can't allow our country to be destroyed by politicians who will put their own power ahead of the interests of the American people, our freedom, and our future," Gabbard said at the National Guard conference in Detroit on Monday. Gabbard's endorsement came on the third anniversary of the suicide bombing that killed 13 U.S. service members following the chaotic Afghanistan War withdrawal. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Why Thomas Crooks, the would-be Trump assassin, continues to baffle and frustrate weeks after the shooting

By Barbra Surk | New York Post Five weeks since the first attempted assassination of a current or former president in over 40 years, the public still has precious few answers about 20-year-old gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks. Since his identity became known, the FBI and members of Congress have been trying to piece together a motive, scrutinizing every aspect of his life both online and off. Even in his hometown of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, a quiet suburb of Pittsburgh, neighbors say the Crooks family was always an enigma — and continues to be. “Everybody around here knows each other, but no one knows them,” said Karen, 77, who lives on the same street as the Crookses and asked that her last name not be used. “You can ask anybody on this street, they barely know...

Trump threatens to skip ABC News debate against Kamala Harris

By James Lynch | National Review Former president Donald Trump Sunday evening raised the possibility of skipping his upcoming ABC News debate against Vice President Kamala Harris because of the network’s apparent bias against him. “I watched ABC FAKE NEWS this morning, both lightweight reporter Jonathan Carl’s(K?) ridiculous and biased interview of Tom Cotton (who was fantastic!), and their so-called Panel of Trump Haters, and I ask, why would I do the Debate against Kamala Harris on that network?” Trump wrote on Truth Social. ABC reporter Jonathan Karl’s Sunday interview with Senator Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) went viral after Karl tried defending Harris’s past support for ending private health insurance, a progressive position she took during her failed ...
