TIM WALZ, SO FAKE HE’S REAL:

Ryan claimed during the interview that the upcoming debate would prove an “interesting contrast” between the candidates.

“I think Tim Walz is a good contrast to JD Vance. There’s an authenticity there. There’s a realness there. There’s a likeability there,” Ryan said.

So real he lied abut his military rank, lied about his trip to Hong Kong, and basically made up his bio. Sure. “Realness.” “Authenticity.”

MY LATEST NEW YORK POST COLUMN: Adams is just the latest pol caught at the trough in the United States of Global Graft. “Mayor Adams’ corruption indictment involving the government of Turkey seems like weak tea compared to other recent scandals. But it also indicates just how intertwined America’s ruling class has become with foreign governments — and foreign money. Adams isn’t even the tip of the iceberg: He’s more like one of the little frozen chunks floating around it.”

YEAH:

LEADERSHIP:

EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY:

A GOOD FRIEND IS DONATING TO THIS GROUP, WHICH IS FLYING RELIEF SUPPLIES INTO THE HURRICANE AREA: Wings of Hope. I’ve donated.

Please put any other suggestions for useful charities in the comments. (Bumped).

UPDATE: It’s helping. From Wings of Hope: “We were just able to get a second helicopter for two days, gas bill funded. There are two of us now. It’s huge, will post more about the impact and what’s going on tomorrow, but this is a really really big deal and saving a lot of people’s lives. So many dead, they are not talking about it, is sad to see. Like a war zone.”

PETTY POLITICS ARE THE ORDER OF THE DAY IN THIS ADMINISTRATION: Harris/Biden Denied Starlink to Hundreds of Thousands; Now They Rely On It. “Donald Trump is public enemy #1 for the Democrats, and Elon Musk comes in a quick second place. They hate him so much that hundreds of thousands of people are being denied broadband, and North Carolina is 19,500 Starlink terminals short of where it would be if the original FCC contract had been honored.”

Hate is their main motivator. Well, and greed.

Plus: “Donald Trump and Elon Musk will have done more to restore communications to stricken regions than Biden and Harris. They have done more already, actually.”

WELL, TO BE FAIR, SHE HAS NO EXECUTIVE SKILLS: Kamala: Walz was a mistake.. “Nobody visits China 30 times. Nobody. I’ve never been anywhere 30 times in my life. Let alone a foreign nation. Just imagine the dirt China has on Walz.”
