MORE STOLEN VALOR: Wes Moore apologizes for ‘honest mistake’ in claiming a Bronze Star. “Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) has apologized for incorrectly stating on a White House application more than a decade ago that he was a Bronze Star recipient. Moore, a rising star in the Democratic Party, served in the Army Reserve between 1996 and 2014. He was deployed to Afghanistan in August 2005 through March 2006.”
Nobody is “mistaken” about whether they’ve received that medal.
OUT: DEI. IN: MEI. Merit, Excellence And Intelligence: An Anti-DEI Approach Catches On In Companies — Is Higher Ed Next?
An idea so crazy it just might work! But note the basically-racist take from someone whose rice bowl is threatened: “‘Saying you hire for merit, excellence and intelligence is really saying people who are historically underrepresented are not worthy,’ says Seena Hodges, a DEI consultant who calls herself the Woke Coach.”
HOW INCOMPETENT CAN YOU BE? “The discussion revolves around a video showing a person moving on a rooftop near where President Trump was shot, leading to widespread speculation that the incident was an inside job. Many users express disbelief that the Secret Service and FBI could have missed the shooter, suggesting intentional negligence or involvement. The video, obtained by Fox News, has fueled further theories and calls for accountability, with some users pointing to additional suspicious activities and connections related to the event. The overall sentiment is one of deep distrust in government and media, with a strong belief that the incident was orchestrated from within the security apparatus.”
WELL, BOEING IS CONNECTED: 737 MAX Crashes Victims’ Families Object to Boeing’s “Sweetheart” Plea Deal. “It is often assumed that once the parties in a criminal case (the prosecutors and defense) reach a plea, that’s the end of things. But under the federal rules, a district judge must approve the plea agreement under what is essentially a public interest standard.”
A DAY IN THE LIES: Don Surber: I read the news today, Oh, Boy.
MATT TAIBBI: Checking the Checkers: “Border Czar.” “The new line is an open paradox: Harris was never given a border mandate, and that job she never got was also an impossible cross to bear.”
THOSE ARE FOR SERIOUS COUNTRIES, WHICH WE NO LONGER ARE: National Defense Strategy? What National Defense Strategy? Imagine the summer of 1940 blissfully planning like it was 1938. “In the name of all that is holy. There is nothing more worn out in natsec discussions coming from the Imperial City than ‘all elements of national power.’ The ‘whole of government’ mating with the ‘interagency.’ Yes, yes, yes, we know – the four walls of the food trough. This is not an insight, this is rice bowl protection.”
Plus: “The primary lesson of the Russo-Ukrainian War, a three-week war now in its third year, is that the West’s iterative layering of assumptions about ‘the needs of the future,’ waiting for magic beans to make war easier, cheaper, and faster, has led to an existential decline in the industrial capability and magazine depth required to actually wage war as it is required. Not as it is desire, but as it is required.”
UTAH HAS BEEN A DISAPPOINTMENT FOR A DECADE OR MORE: Utah Gets Exposed For Its Pro-illegal Alien Sanctuary Policies. “We have to remember that the present migration crisis that’s afflicting the US is a bipartisan endeavor, where both Democrats and Republicans have their hands in the mass migration cookie jar. In reality, the US has a pro-mass migration uniparty.”

UPDATE:
I don’t know who needs to hear this but…
If the @VP hadn’t been picked to share the ticket with Biden in 2020 based on her skin color, people wouldn’t be arguing about her race.
However, since democrats made it a focal point…. here we are.
They created their own problems.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: Chinese scientists outline major cislunar space infrastructure project.
WHY ARE WE CONSTANTLY HAVING TO ASK QUESTIONS LIKE THIS? Why is Meta (Facebook and Instagram) Shadow-Banning a US Paralympian?
WE’RE HEARING A LOT OF POSITIVE STUFF ABOUT THESE DRUGS LATELY: Could Ozempic curb your cigarettes craving? A new study suggests semaglutide may help people quit smoking.
WELL, TO BE FAIR, IT’S NOT LIKE THEY’RE JANUARY 6 PROTESTERS: Biden-Harris Admin to let 9/11 plotters live, striking plea deal with jihadi masterminds.
YEAH, SURE: Google: Our Search Ban on Trump Was an ‘Anomaly.’
Don’t trust Google. Which is awkward for an information company. But really, don’t trust Google. You can’t.

HEH:
Trump has the audience dying in Chicago

The ministry of truth had to immediately get on air and tell their viewers that the laughter they heard at the Black journalist Convention during Trump's talk was actually "laughter mocking laughter"

Kamala is 60 years old, was raised by academics, spent her teens in Montreal, Canada, lied about listening to Tupac, lives in a $5M home with her husband Doug Emhoff & just had “Meg Thee Stallion” twerking on stage for her in Atlanta
Trump knows exactly what he’s doing

This was the most exciting Trump event since the 2016 election

All the outrage will just spread his remarks about Kamala further to their target audience.
UPDATE: Mainstream Media’s New Project: Kamalaflage!
Plus: Trump Attended the National Association of Black Journalists Conference and Hoo Boy. “Former President Donald Trump returned to his vintage, hilarious persona, attending the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago, which triggered members of this organization. Karen Attiah, an editor and columnist for The Washington Post and co-chair of the NABJ convention, resigned in protest. It got off to a rocky start, but the question was ridiculous, one of many hurled at the former president by ABC News’ Rachel Scott. . . . One of the best lines was Trump saying that Harris was Indian and then became black, which drew laughter from the audience. Laughing at Trump or with him—who cares; it was hilarious. A nice undershot at a woman with a penchant for saying anything to get elected, who has no principles, core, or the experience to occupy the highest office in the land.”
