YES, SUPERFICIAL INDEED:

I know its superficial, but I like that Kamala can dance and that she looks incredible for her age. She looks like the kind of person you'd like to have a margarita or two with.

But, Republicans, remember that this is one of the things you’re up against. And Claire, maybe if you get a couple of margaritas in her she’ll express remorse for the black guys she imprisoned for no good reason.

Oh, who am I kidding, she’ll just cackle about it.

WELL, OBVIOUSLY: Biden Mega-Donors Balk At Contributing to Kamala Harris, Saying She’s Too Woke and Too Far-Left.

JOSH BLACKMAN & SETH BARRETT TILLMAN: Jack Smith — There He Goes Again: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit should reject his past political justifications to expedite his latest appeal. “Special Counsel Jack Smith is on a mission to convict Donald Trump before the election, and if needed, before the inauguration. At every level of the judiciary, Smith has urged federal judges to move at breakneck speed so he can get his man. Now that Judge Aileen Cannon has determined that Smith was unlawfully appointed, Smith is once again racing for another appeal. But there is no good reason for the courts to move more quickly than they usually would. Indeed, moving any faster or slower than normal would suggest that the judges are favoring one side or the other.”

THIS WILL GO WELL: Biden to Address the Nation This Evening.

THEY’RE RIGHT: Most, including 39% of Democrats, fear Biden a ‘threat’ to US security.

YOU WANT MORE ANTS? BECAUSE THIS IS HOW YOU GET MORE ANTS: Harvard Caves. “Harvard University’s highest governing body, the Harvard Corporation, reversed its decision to withhold degrees from 11 students who participated in an unlawful anti-Israel encampment, including a Pakistani Rhodes Scholar now set to attend the University of Oxford next year.”

HE LEFT THE RACE BEFORE BEING NOMINATED: Was the War Chest Transfer From Biden to Harris Legal? “If Mr. Biden drops out before the Democratic Party formally makes him its nominee, then Federal Election Commission rules dictate that no more than $2,000 of any campaign funds that he raised may be transferred to any other candidate, including Ms. Harris. The Federal Election Campaign Act governs what a presidential campaign may do with ‘excess campaign funds,’ which is what the money left in the Biden for President campaign will legally be considered if he is no longer a candidate. Those excess funds may be contributed in an unlimited amount to the Democratic National Committee or an independent expenditure committee. Presidential campaigns may also contribute such funds to other federal campaigns, subject to contribution limits, which are $2,000 per election.”

Hmm. Republicans should launch a major lawfare operation on this, just as payback. And so should actual Democrat RFK, Jr.

COLLUSION: The head of the U.S. House of Representatives Oversight Committee isn’t playing games when it comes to the White House avoiding answers to questions about potential collusion with antigun groups to target GLOCK, Inc., with a frivolous lawsuit.

Related: “Chicago and their partners at Everytown Law are trying to stop city residents from being able to purchase some of the most common and popular handguns in the country, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that they’re playing fast and loose with the facts. I’m looking forward to seeing Glock’s response to the latest iteration of the litigation, as well as what Eagle Sports Range and Midwest Sporting Goods have to say about the legal attacks on their businesses, but keep in mind that this lawsuit could be just the first round of a broader strategy to ban semi-automatic handguns. As we’ve previously reported, about a dozen blue-state AGs have sent what amounts to a pre-litigation demand letter to Glock, and the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention has reportedly been pressing the ATF to issue a rule classifying Glocks as machine guns as well. The Supreme Court may have nixed a handgun ban as a violation of the Second Amendment, but the gun control lobby is clearly searching for a way to enact a sweeping gun ban regardless of what the Court has to say about it.”

BUT WILL ANYONE MARKET IT IF IT’S NOT PATENTABLE? Natural Compound Found in Olives Found To Reduce Blood Sugar Levels and Promote Weight Loss. “The researchers found that after just one week, obese mice with diabetes that were given oral elenolic acid weighed significantly less and showed better blood sugar (glucose) regulation than before treatment and compared to control obese mice not receiving elenolic acid. The glucose-lowering effect was comparable with that of the injectable diabetic medication liraglutide and better than metformin, one of the most common oral medicines for type 2 diabetes.”

GENERATORS: Stuff We Use: Gasoline-Powered Generators. “The present generator at our disposal is a Honda unit, marketed as an inverter and belting out a maximum output of 2,200 watts. This is more than enough for the requirements around here, great for tools in the garage or the fridge and freezer when this area’s power company fails to keep the lights on (again). A huge feature of this Honda 2200i unit is its quiet operation, putting out less than 60 decibels of noise even at full whack. Using about a quarter of the 2,200-watt output results in a sub-50 decibel performance, which is scarcely more than a quiet room with the A/C softly blowing.”
