THE PROBLEM IS, SHE’S NOT SO SURE THAT WAS A GOOD THING: The Washington Post Editorial Board pushes Kamala Harris to pay attention to the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States. “Is this an issue the people are clamoring for attention to be paid to? Donald Trump paid attention to it… a year and a half ago. He thought about it on his own and made a dignified speech detailing his multi-part plan for a full-year celebration. So for the WaPo editors to bring this up is to put pressure only on Kamala Harris. Is she supposed to jump at their prodding? There’s zero hope of her sounding sincere responding to this one-sided demand.”
Plus: “Nearing the end, the historian comes out with: ‘[N]ow that I think of it, why not wear the hat and fly the flag?’ Well, for one thing, flying a U.S. flag at your house is regarded as equivalent to having a Trump yard sign. . . . So you and your fellow historians devoted yourself to telling the ‘darker story’ and now, as the people look to celebrate a big birthday, you are worried that they aren’t going frame the event around your dark story but will look to the kind of characters — the ‘darker forces’ — that you’ve been disparaging all these years? People are drawn to the good — to an uplifting idea of what the country means — and you see that very optimism as an embrace of the darkness.”

Trump says Bibi is winning because he is ‘not listening’ to Biden.
Speaking at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, Republican presidential nominee and former U.S. President Donald Trump said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called him over the weekend and told him he is “not listening” to U.S. President Joe Biden.
“Bibi called me today and he said, it’s incredible. What’s happened, they said it’s pretty incredible. But he wouldn’t listen to Biden, because if he did, they wouldn’t be in this position,” Trump told the crowds at the campaign event. “And I tell you what, they’re in a much stronger position now than they were three months ago, that’s for sure.”
Netanyahu isn’t listening to Harris, either.

FORMER SCHUMER, SCALISE AIDES LOBBYING FOR CHINESE MILITARY: Yes, you read that correctly. A Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) investigation turned up solid evidence that former aides for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) are lobbying on behalf of firms controlled by the Chinese military.
“Nick Sutter, for instance, spent seven years working for Democratic Washington Sen. Maria Cantwell between 2011 and 2018, plus an additional nine months in Schumer’s office.
“Now, Sutter is an associate at Steptoe LLP, a large corporate influence shop in D.C., and lobbied on behalf of the Chinese military company BGI Group in 2023, disclosures show. Cantwell serves as the chairwoman of the powerful Senate Commerce Committee,” DCNF reports.
