Nominee Faulted Over Abu-jamal Case Withdraws

As the gentle reader is aware, abortion is a very hot topic that the Republicans are failing miserably on, and Senator Ron Johnson did them no favors on that matter. Earlier this week, Vice President Kamala Harris once again visited Wisconsin. During her visit, she announced the White House's new policy about staffing in nursing homes and talked about reproductive health care.

Mail order candidate and California banker Eric Hovde really doesn't like the elderly. He already said that people in nursing homes are at death's door and are in no condition to vote. But now, it's being reported that Hovde's bank is being sued for elder abuse, neglect and wrongful death regarding a nursing home his bank owns: In 2021, Sunwest Bank seized the property of a 68-bed assisted living facility in Claremont, Calif., after its owners failed to repay a $6 million loan.

Fox's Emily Campagno basically suggests that Biden would have Trump knee-capped to avoid actually having to debate him, after he told Howard Stern he would be willing to debate Trump. In what was basically a huge giant F-U to the New York Times, Biden sat down with Howard Stern for an interview, and here's what he told Stern: President Joe Biden said Friday he is "happy" to debate former President Donald Trump, though did not specify as to when. The comment was made during a one-on-one interview with radio host Howard Stern, who asked if the president had plans to debate his 2024 opponent. "I am somewhere," Biden responded, the first time he's indicated he will debate Trump this election cycle.

Reaction has been swift and ugly to South Dakota's Governor Kristi Noem boasting in her new book that she shot her 14 month old wirehair pointer. As we discussed here, this appeared to be some sick attempt to appeal to Trump in her quest to potentially be his running mate, but it looks like it's blown up in her face from the bipartisan disgust expressed on Xitter. Trump's niece agreed that hoping to be his VP is why she did it: Kristi Noem is telling everybody that she murdered a puppy because she wants to be Donald's VP and she thinks the story will appeal to him.

James Comer's so pathetic, so easily owned by Jared Moskowitz & Jamie Raskin, it really makes you wonder if he has an actual fetish for rhetorically getting his ass kicked. It just leaked that his so-called "impeachment" inquiry--began based on Russian disinformation (which he almost certainly knew)--is ending, yet he keeps threatening to impeach Biden, which is taken as seriously as one kid telling another, "My dad's gonna beat up your dad!" In this clip, put together by Cliff Schecter, you can actually hear laughter as Comer threatens impeachment yet again.

“Donald Trump says he wants to hold a major campaign event at New York’s Madison Square Garden featuring Black hip-hop artists and athletes. His aides speak of making appearances in Chicago, Detroit and Atlanta with leaders of color and realigning American politics by flipping Democratic constituencies,” the AP reports. “But five months before the first general election votes are cast, the former president’s campaign has little apparent organization to show for its ambitious plans.” “The Trump campaign removed its point person for coalitions and hasn’t announced a replacement.
