THIS IS JUST PATHETIC: U of Tampa RA training includes scenario of student feeling ‘threatened’ by conservative roommate with MAGA flag.
Unless the training is to say “grow up and get used to getting along with people who have different ideas.” Not clear from this story.
THE MESSAGE OF DEMOCRATS’ CORRUPTION SPREADS:
We may disagree with RFK Jr. about many things, but he’s right about how the Democratic Party uses lawfare and dirty tricks to suppress democratic competition and voter choice.
The Dems preach about “saving democracy”, but in reality they’re working overtime to stamp it out. https://t.co/WIz4YXUMEp

It helps that it’s the truth, of course.
LIFE IN 2024:
Remember, kids, Donald Trump is responsible for every page of Project 2025, which he did not write, is not on his campaign page, and has explicitly disowned, but Kamala Harris not responsible for ANYTHING HER OWN ADMINISTRATION HAS DONE WHILE SHE IS VICE PRESIDENT.

HOW ABOUT THAT?
One of the things RFK incidentally revealed was that during the period when Trump was supposedly paralyzed by Harris he was busy flanking the DNC.

EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY, CHAIRMAN XI: Chinese Weakness is the Real “China Shock:” It has been over a year-and-half since the end of “Covid Zero” restrictions, but domestic demand is still so weak that production is only holding up thanks to exports (dumping?)
The Chinese government’s management of the economic consequences of the pandemic was uniquely bad. Its policy errors compounded longstanding structural issues in the distribution of income, harming not just the Chinese people, but workers in the rest of the world.
And yet our ruling class still sees China as a model. Then again our ruling class, like China’s, doesn’t prioritize the well-being of its citizens.
RUY TEIXEIRA: Democrats Are Super Happy, Working-Class Voters Are Not. And honestly, why should they be? “Harris is doing somewhat better than Biden 2020 among white college voters but somewhat worse among white working-class voters. And among nonwhite working-class voters she is still underperforming. Biden carried these voters by 48 points in 2020; Harris is ahead by only 29 points. . . . On the all-important issue of the economy, working-class respondents trust Trump over Harris by 15 points. But the college-educated trust Harris over Trump, albeit by a small margin (3 points). The pattern is exactly the same on inflation/rising prices, which was asked separately.”
OPEN THREAD: Ring in the weekend.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: Norwegian spaceport receives government license.
A MAN-MADE METEOR SHOWER: NASA Asteroid Collision Debris May Be Headed Toward Earth. “If these ejected Dimorphos fragments reach Earth, they will not pose any risk. Their small size and high speed will cause them to disintegrate in the atmosphere, creating a beautiful luminous streak in the sky.”
WOEING: Countdown To Escape: NASA and Boeing To Decide Starliner’s Fate. “NASA and Boeing are currently analyzing data to determine the future of the Starliner spacecraft, with a decision expected by August 24 following an agency-level review.”
TRUE:
When a lifelong Democrat, from an iconic Democrat family, who tried to run as a Democrat, and who’s running mate was a Democrat, warns you about the dangers of voting for the Democrat in this election, you should probably listen.
— Dan Bongino (@dbongino) August 23, 2024
Quoth RFK, Jr.: “How did the Democratic party choose a candidate that has never done an interview or debate during the entire election cycle? We know the answer. They did it by weaponizing the government agencies. They did it by abandoning democracy. They did it by suing the opposition and by disenfranchising American voters.”

Heh. But worse, it was Kamala.
UPDATE: Kira Davis: The Beyonce Campaign. “As we all know by now, it turns out the big ‘surprise’ was Kamala Harris. . . . Cue one million sad trombones. Not only was it a hilarious let-down, it was yet another indictment of a legacy media that no longer performs journalism but rather is a lazy stenographer pool that can’t be bothered to any real work beyond reporting on social media posts.”
THEN HOW COME IT ROARED THROUGH ITALY LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN? Mediterranean diet might lower odds of COVID-19.
WE ARE GOVERNED BY CORRUPT MORONS:
This is far more damning that people understand.
It means that the Commerce Secretary was unaware of an enormously important piece of economic data that everyone in financial markets was anticipating.
But she is aware of Trump’s Truth Social posts.
That’s very bad. https://t.co/eoCa1sqTI4
— John Carney (@carney) August 22, 2024
Well, she knows what Trump said because they have him under surveillance.
I MEAN, WE KNEW, BUT STILL:
WOW. Watch Gavin Newsom basically admit that there was a coup to replace Joe Biden with Kamala.
