IT’S NOT EVEN A NON-DENIAL DENIAL: Matt Taibbi: Comment from the TSA on Tulsi Gabbard and the “Quiet Skies” Program: What was asked, how they replied. It’s just a non-denial.

NOBODY WANTS TO DO THEIR FREAKING JOB:

Nobody seems to remember any more that the purpose of a politician is to do their job, like the janitor down the hall or the airline pilot twenty thousand feet above. They may someday be remembered as great but that's not for them to decide.

“You had one job” will be the epitaph of our ruling class.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Seriously, Cirque du Harris-Walz Is Going to Make Me Miss Biden. “Now we’re getting a glimpse of what the alternatives to Joe Biden look like and it’s like dropping acid and having it and a bout of dysentery hit at the same time while you’re in a carnival house of mirrors.”

NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG: “Let me say up front that I do not know what motivated the FBI and Homeland Security to admit a known terrorist who was here to assassinate Donald Trump into the country. There could be a perfectly reasonable explanation–one that doesn’t implicate the same agency that almost got Donald Trump killed–to admit a known terrorist into the country. Right? Right? There could be nothing to see here at all. But it stinks, especially in light of the ridiculous security failure that the Department of Homeland Security’s Secret Service is responsible for on July 13th.”

PRIORITIES: Biden-Harris Admin Quietly Proposes Cut to NatSec Program—and Boost to Equity and ‘Environmental Justice’ Initiatives.

The Biden-Harris administration is quietly floating a funding cut for a national security initiative that protects America’s underwater infrastructure. At the same time, it’s asking Congress for millions of dollars for equity and “environmental justice” initiatives, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.

The administration recently informed Congress that it wants to strip $10 million in annual funding for the Maritime Administration’s (MARAD) Cable Security Fleet (CSF), which protects the underwater infrastructure powering America’s connection to the internet. Hostile nations like Russia and China have repeatedly attempted to sabotage these networks, plunging the American government and military into darkness.

I’d say I was gobsmacked by the decision to cut CSF but nothing this White House does to hurt the US or help China surprises me.

CHANGE: Jumbled polls show Trump up, surge in millennials and Generation X.

EVERYONE KNOWS IT, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE IS AFRAID TO SAY IT: “The presidency was taken away from Joe Biden.”

Meanwhile, the White House is keeping Kamala Harris virtually locked away as much as Biden was literally locked away.
