McGhee White: Earth to Democrats, why can’t you stop trying to appease the worst of Gen Z

By Kaylee McGhee White| The Washington Examiner The Democratic National Convention has barely begun, and it is already marred by liberal lunacy and protests from anti-Israel radicals, both of which are being driven by the very voters Democrats are trying to court: leftist Gen Zers. Vice President Kamala Harris, who, barring yet another intraparty coup, will be coronated this week as the party’s presidential nominee, seems to believe that success at the polls this November depends on winning over my generation of young voters. In fact, she seems to have handed over her entire campaign strategy to fresh-out-of-college 20-year-olds who think memes and “vibes” are an acceptable replacement for policy and substance.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHIN...

‘Never’ Harris: Border Patrol agents on Kamala and that she is ‘probably worse than Biden’

By Anna Giaritelli | Washington Examiner Border Patrol agents expressed more distrust of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris than President Joe Biden and said they will not vote for her in November in interviews with the Washington Examiner. None of the more than a dozen Border Patrol agents questioned by the Washington Examiner said they would cast a ballot for Harris because they do not view her as supportive of the organization and its congressionally mandated mission. “I would never vote for her,” the first agent said. “These past four years have been a nightmare for the patrol, and it would be another four years of the same — and probably worse than Biden, honestly,” a second agent said.

Tremoglie: Kamala Harris needs to answer why she raised money to keep violent criminals out of jail

By Christopher Tremoglie | Commentary, Washington Examiner What kind of presidential candidate raises money to keep violent criminals out of jail? It’s a question that Vice President Kamala Harris needs to answer. The current vice president, and the newly presumptive Democratic nominee, previously supported and helped raise money for an organization that sought to keep violent criminals on the streets free to wreak havoc, cause harm, and hurt innocent people. Think about that every time you hear her cackle. She smiled and laughed while every day, normal Americans were suffering. It’s important not to forget that Harris, who regularly mentions “protecting our democracy,” actively raised money to try to free rioters who burned down neighborhoods and looted s...

When pushed, Jen Psaki apologizes to Afghanistan Gold Star families for false claim Biden didn’t check his watch

By Rachel Schilke | Washington Examiner Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki extended an apology to the families of the 13 Gold Star military service members who died in the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 on Friday. During a transcribed interview, Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) asked Psaki about her comments that she wrote in her book, Say More, that stated President Joe Biden never looked at his watch during a ceremony in late August 2021 honoring soldiers killed in Afghanistan returning home.   “The chairman asked Ms. Psaki about her comments regarding President Biden looking at his watch while at Dover [Air Force Base] and asked her if she had anything she wanted to say to the families on the record,” Leslie Shedd,...

Trump asking for ‘equal time’ on air during Biden’s Oval Office ‘campaign commercial’

By Annabella Rosciglione | Washington Examiner As President Joe Biden gives an Oval Office address to the nation Wednesday, former President Donald Trump is asking ABC, NBC, and CBS to give him equal airtime.  In a letter obtained by the New York Times, Trump’s campaign sent a letter to the three networks demanding he be given equal airtime as the campaign believes the speech will be used as a campaign event. Earlier this week, Biden announced he would address the nation from the White House about his exit from the presidential race and how he plans to tackle the remaining months of his presidency. “It appears that President Biden’s speech will not be a bona fide news event, but rather, a prime-time campaign commercial,” Trump campaign general counsel Davi...

York: Joe Biden owes the country an explanation

By Byron York | Commentary, Washington Examiner President Joe Biden is scheduled to make a live address to the nation tonight at 9 p.m. That is a violation of his plan “to stop scheduling events after 8 p.m. so that he can get more sleep,” according to news reports earlier this month when he was still struggling to hold on to the Democratic nomination. But it is extremely important that he stay up and tell the public what is going on. In the last week, the president, weak and infirm, contracted COVID-19 and went into isolation. There, behind closed doors, he was forced by a group of powerful Democratic insiders to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. He then endorsed the vice president, Kamala Harris, for the Democratic nomination, and party leaders, despite earli...

Trump shooter posted on gaming platform Steam before act: ‘July 13 will be my premiere’

By Ross O'Keefe | Washington Examiner Thomas Matthew Crooks, who shot former President Donald Trump and other attendees at a Pennsylvania rally, allegedly posted on the popular online gaming platform Steam that “July 13 will be my premiere, watch as it unfolds.” Police found the message on his laptop along with searches for “Trump,” “Biden,” “when is the DNC convention,” and the “July 13 Trump rally,” according to Fox News reporting on a Secret Service and FBI briefing to senators. No motive has been established. Police found no other evidence indicating the shooter had a particular ideology, but they did learn he had a second cellphone with 27 contacts, all of which police are tracking down. He was a registered Republican who had last voted in 202...

Secret Service director says ‘sloped roof’ to blame for would-be assassin deterring agency from securing location

By Emily Hallas | Washington Examiner Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle said Monday that the shape of the roof former President Donald Trump’s would-be assassin sat on played a role in her agency not securing the building.  Cheatle has come under fire for her agency’s failure to prevent Thomas Matthew Crooks’s assassination attempt against Trump during a Pennsylvania rally last Saturday. During the event, Crooks gained access to a building approximately 400 feet from Trump’s podium. Counter-snipers were in the building and encountered the gunman, expressing concern about Crooks’s possible security risks shortly before the shooting. Witnesses who saw Crooks on the building’s rooftop, visibility armed with a rifle, warned police and Secret Service agents minute...

Secret Service rejects accusations that security was diverted from Trump to Jill Biden’s rally

By Washington Examiner Much has been said of the Secret Service detail after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. Many are seeking answers as to how the shooter could position himself on a roof so close to a former president and current presumptive Republican presidential nominee. One theory suggested that some Secret Service members were relocated from Trump’s rally in Butler to a Sunday campaign event for first lady Jill Biden in Pittsburgh. The Secret Service rejected this claim. On Sunday, a social media post from a White House correspondent from RealClearPolitics advanced the idea of personnel being diverted to the first lady’s campaign event.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Day One: What to expect as Republicans descend on Milwaukee

By Haisten Willis | Washington Examiner Former President Donald Trump‘s nomination becomes official this week as tens of thousands of Republicans gather in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with festivities beginning just two days after Trump miraculously survived an assassination attempt that left his right ear slashed and a supporter dead from gunshot wounds. The 2024 Republican National Convention lasts from Monday through Thursday, with each day focusing on a particular theme. Monday’s theme is “Make America Wealthy Once Again,” as the economy has been one of Trump’s most significant messaging points this year. “On day one, we will throw out Bidenomics and replace it with a thing called MAGAnomics.,” Trump said at a recent rally in Miami. “We will quickly build the greatest econ...
