ANTISEMITISM, THY NAME IS “DEMOCRATS:”

HERE WE GO AGAIN: ‘Zuckbucks’ Group Announces Plans To Dump More Cash Into Election Offices.

CTCL claims to provide “nonpartisan” funding, but its history suggests otherwise.

The group was founded in 2012 by former staffers of the New Organizing Institute (NOI) — namely Epps-Johnson, Whitney May, and Donny Bridges, according to InfluenceWatch.

NOI became known as the “Democratic Party’s Hogwarts for digital wizardry,” and trained more than 30,000 Democratic digital organizers and campaigners. The group focused on election administration, voter data management, and get-out-the-vote efforts –- all areas on which CTCL now focuses.

Leftist Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss took inspiration from the NOI in 2015 to strategize efforts to “reshape the U.S. electorate” and give so-called “progressive” causes a permanent advantage.

CTCL shuttled $328 million from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to public election agencies in 2020. The grants, which later became known as “Zuckbucks,” largely targeted areas with left-leaning voting blocs and boosted Democratic turnout in the already close presidential election.

The ball is in your court, Elon.

WOEING: Boeing takes additional $125 million loss on Starliner. “In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission July 31 about the company’s second quarter financial results, Boeing said it was taking an additional $125 million charge on Starliner, citing delays in completing the ongoing Crew Flight Test (CFT) mission.”

CFT astronauts Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams are now on Day 70 of their weeklong stay aboard the ISS.

FOLLOW THE MONEY: Penn State trustee sues to get records on $5 billion endowment.

Seriously, if you want to shake up a state university, go over the budget and expenditures carefully. If you want to shake up a state university administrator, go over his/her travel reimbursements. In both cases, state and federal FOIA laws let you get all the info.

BIDENOMICS: Intel’s massive job cuts come after it received $8.5 billion in taxpayer money.

The decision to cut jobs after the influx of federal funds has raised some eyebrows.

“Someone help me understand how this is smart or fair,” “Making Money” host Charles Payne wrote on X Saturday. “The Biden-Harris administration has handed billions of dollars to the richest corporations ever, including many foreign companies.”

Intel has around 116,500 workers.

The semiconductor giant received federal subsidies under the Biden administration’s CHIPS and Science Act that was signed into law in 2022 to advance semiconductor manufacturing projects in four U.S. states.

The bipartisan legislation aims to improve competition with China by strengthening U.S. manufacturing, supply chains and national security and investing in research and development, science and technology.

Republicans were fools to sign on to Biden’s budget-busting attempt at emulating Japan’s failed “Japan Inc.” industrial policy of the ’80s.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: I’m Taking a Break to Help Illegal Aliens Fill Out Their Mail-In Ballots. “Here in Arizona, we obviously absorb more of the open border abuse than most states. Unlike the other border states, we’re now a swing state. The Dems are no doubt hoping that every single ‘migrant’ here casts a vote for the Harris-Disaster ticket in this fall. They just got a generous assist towards that end.”

YOU REALLY CAN’T HATE THE MSM ENOUGH: Let’s see, Hamas is sworn to overthrow Israel, establish an Islamic dictatorship to replace it with the goal of expanding it to the entire Middle East and beyond, expel, murder, or enslave every Jew in Israel, but here is the New York Times’ take:

#JOURNALISM:

HEY, IT WORKED FOR BIDEN AND HE COULDN’T SPEAK COHERENTLY EITHER: Harris’s basement campaign. “So far Vice President Harris has been running a tightly scripted campaign that puts the clamps on her deep thoughts. Adjusted for circumstances, her campaign resembles then candidate Biden’s basement campaign of 2020. In Biden’s case, the basement literally kept him out of view. In Harris’ case, the campaign is to keep her formerly expressed public policy views out of view. David Deavel expands on my thoughts in the AMAC column ‘Media Lets Kamala Do Another Basement Campaign.’ Harris’s public policy views cannot withstand scrutiny. Although they [ ] essentially reflect the orthodoxy of the Democratic Party, they are stupid and unpopular.”

UPDATE:

EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY:

EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY (MEXICO EDITION): Mexican army acknowledges some of its soldiers have been killed by cartel bomb-dropping drones.

Defense Secretary Gen. Luis Cresencio Sandoval did not provide exact figures on the number of casualties suffered in the attacks, almost all of which occurred in the western state of Michoacan.

“Our personnel have suffered wounds, and some of our troops have even died” in the attacks, Sandoval said. The army had previously acknowledged that soldiers had been wounded in Michoacan by improvised explosive devices, or IEDs.

Sandoval did not say when the attacks took place, but suggested they targeted patrol units. He said the army was acquiring anti-drone systems to combat the threat.

“What we are seeking with this anti-drone equipment is to have the security capability, which we lack, for our personnel performing reconnaissance and patrols,” Sandoval said.
