REPORT FROM THE BLUE ZONES: Bombshell Revelations in Daniel Penny Trial Turn Entire Prosecution on Its Head. “At the time, the facts of the case were already called into question after a video taken on the scene showed Neely still breathing for a significant period after the altercation. Further, Penny put Neely in the “recovery position,” suggesting he had no intent to cause permanent harm. At the time, I asked whether Neely was still breathing when first responders arrived. That question has now been answered thanks to newly released bodycam footage. Not only was Neely breathing when the police arrived, but they refused to give him mouth-to-mouth, instead sticking him with Narcan assuming a drug overdose was involved. . . . Would Neely be alive today if the police had taken immediate action to save his life? Did the shot of Narcan contribute to his death? Questions like those are going to complicate the prosecution’s attempt to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Penny was directly responsible for Neely’s death.”

TAKING SIDES:

EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY, KAMALA: Trump Makes a Visit to Dearborn. “It’s no secret that Arab Americans in Michigan have soured on the Biden administration, with some saying they will not vote for Kamala Harris and others promising to vote for Trump. Today, Trump became the first candidate to visit Dearborn, MI, the largest Arab-majority city in the country. He stopped by a coffee shop where he received a warm welcome.”

As I keep saying, Republicans are now the multiracial, muticultural party of the working class. The Democrats are the party of billionaires, woke white people, and their increasingly restive client groups. The whole trans thing hasn’t helped win over the Arabs. . . .

Plus: “CNN had an interesting story up noting how Harris is running different ads in different states. In Pennsylvania, the ads emphasize her undying support for Israel. In Michigan they emphasize her desire for peace.”

In the words of a great American: “These are my principles. If you don’t like them, I have others.”

OPEN THREAD: I’m the same old blog that I used to be, I haven’t changed at all.

HAHA: Why Did Secret Service Brass Feel the Need to Coordinate its Response to the IG’s Investigation Into the First Trump Assassination Attempt. “The emails, which RealClearPolitics reviewed, contained the subject line ‘DHS OIG Inquiries’ and directed employees to tell their supervisors if an OIG official reaches out to them so Secret Service managers could coordinate ‘an organized response.’ Supervisors sent the email five days after the same inspector general issued a negative report on the Secret Service’s actions before and on Jan. 6, criticizing the agency for failing to detect a pipe bomb near Vice President Kamala Harris and not flagging signs of potential violence to other agencies.”
