What an idiotic comment from
Wilbon. Kornheiser shouldn’t have rolled over. Apparently Wilbon only likes athletes/coaches who speak on social issues if they align with his views. Otherwise you are divisive. What a narrow minded small view #brucepearl

Tim Walz says that Jimmy Kimmel’s firing is “North Korea style-stuff.”

Here’s Tim Walz deploying the National Guard to prevent families from leaving their homes during the COVID lockdowns.

Hey, Tim this is “North Korea style-stuff.”

Friend passed along this prayer:
”Heavenly Father, we ask for your divine intervention for our brother, Charlie Kirk. Lord, close up all wounds and protect him from serious injury. Let there be miraculous healing in such a way that it is clear that your hands alone, Lord, were the hands that saved him. Let this moment be a powerful testimony of your goodness and faithfulness. Holy Spirit, be with his family and friends, strengthen and comfort them. Give his wife and children peace of mind that Charlie's care is in your mighty hands, Jesus, and give wisdom to all those attending him. Thank you for powerfully gifting him and inspiring him to serve you, Lord. Thank you for all those whom he has inspired as well. Please keep everyone safe at the event. Bring justice and encourage us all to keep fighting the good fight, to keep faith. In Jesus' holy name, Amen.”

Brilliant work by Vance. He fact checks the moderators and they’re forced to cut his mic to save face. Total implosion by the moderators. Masterful performance by Vance.

Since the Hurricane Helene disaster, SpaceX has sent as many Starlink terminals as possible to help areas in need.

Earlier today, @realDonaldTrump alerted me to additional people who need Starlink Internet in North Carolina. We are sending them terminals right away.

Dear VP Harris: I hear you make this statement all the time. Exactly what “faith” are you talking about when you say you don’t have to abandon it to support abortion? Are you talking about the Christian faith that says all babies are made in the image of God (Gen 1:26), that God places them in the womb (Jer 1:5) and that we should not take any life unjustly (Luke 18:20)? Are you talking about that faith or some nebulous, general “faith” that says we’re good enough, and smart enough to make our own decisions? What “faith” are you talking about?

So messed up

The Candy Crowley Debate

What do we remember, if anything now, about the second presidential debate of 2012?

Not whether Obama or Romney won.

But only how CNN’s Candy Crowley blew up her career and embarrassed CNN—by outrageously hijacking the debate, and as a partisan, fact-checking (and erroneously so) Romney in efforts to help Obama.

So, too, we won’t remember much of these debate details, given the shameful role of the two ABC moderators.

Harris came out calm, exceeded low expectations, repeated well her memorized talking points, avoided until the last 20 minutes her trademark word-salads, and repeatedly baited and incited an increasingly angrier Trump.

Harris called for unity, while smearing him as a racist and repeating the old lies about Charlottesville, “bloodbath,” the 2025 project, and Trump’s supposed support for a federal ban on abortion.

Trump might seem to have matched or beaten Harris if one only reads a transcript of the entire debate—given she never honestly would or could reconcile her past and antithetical present positions.

Nor could Harris explain why she simply did not implement her visions either the last three years or would do so in the next five months.

An irritated Trump started well and ended well; she in-between calmly and successfully at times baited and got Trump’s goat.

But all that will neither matter nor be recalled.

The debate will instead be remembered as a three-on-one pile-on, given the unprofessional and biased team of ABC moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis. Rather than refuting pre-debate fears that their past anti-Trump biases would warp the debate, they only confirmed them.

Both disrupted the tempo to fact check (sometimes in error), and to editorialize Trump’s statements, while letting Harris’s Charlottesville, IVF, national abortion ban, “bloodbath” or 2025 lies go unchecked.

Often their disruptive fact checks of Trump were simply wrong, such as their preposterous claim that no states allow partial birth or late abortions where the viable baby is terminated—when at least six states put no limitations on any abortions.

The questions addressed to Trump on January 6 were designed to provoke. They had no counterpart addressed to Harris—as for example, would she distance herself from Biden, or how she came to win the nomination without winning any elected delegates, or her last person in the room on Afghanistan boast, or if she wished to retract any of her inflammatory past statements, such as bragging that the deadly 2020 demonstrations would not and should not stop, or her tweets to help bail out violent 2020 rioters, or her lie that the border patrol whipped immigrants in the manner reminiscent of slavery and the Klan, or her boast that she was a radical and woke.

Instead, Muir and Davis only asked Trump about supposedly controversial past statements.

Harris was never reprimanded for trying to speak over Trump. Trump was reminded to address the question asked; not so Harris who rarely did.

Watching the entire debate may have aided Harris, given her low expectations. Yet the better sound bites in the next week may help Trump. But the moderators’ shameless bias may swing empathy toward Trump.

So, the real story was how ABC’s moderators ruined the debate, their own reputations, and their network's brand.

If you’re 19 years old, and you want to be a rebel, show up on your college campus and call yourself a conservative. Say you want to get married, have kids, teach them to believe in God & pledge allegiance to the flag. Give it a try and see what happens.

.@joerogan and @russellcrowe point out the obvious, “The person that's actually in office is saying what she's going to do if she gets in office….She's been in there for three f%%%ing years.”

For every promise Kamala makes using vague rhetoric or poor policy proposals—whether securing the border, lowering food prices, or saving working families—the central question remains: “Why haven’t you already done it?”

Kamala has been Vice President of the Biden-Harris Administration for 3 1/2 years, as someone Biden can rely on for unvarnished advice before making big decisions. Now that Biden is checked out on a beach, she’s effectively running the country. Harris has had an entire administration to work with the president and Congress to implement the very policies she’s now campaigning on.

So what is she waiting for?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

About 3 weeks ago, the media told you that Biden was “sharp as a tack” 🙄

2 days ago, the poor guy was basically forced at gunpoint to resign as Dem nominee. His staff weren’t even informed.

Now they say Kamala is the best thing ever 🤦‍♂️
