Breitbart "Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), whom Joe Biden chose as his running mate on Tuesday, led efforts to smear Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings in 2018.
"Harris pursued unsubstantiated accusations of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh, evenintroducinga letter from a “Jane Doe” who claimed that youthful Kavanaugh and a friend had raped her “several times” after offering her a lift home from a party. "She earnedcondemnationfor a deceptively-edited video in which she claimed Kavanaugh opposed birth control:" . . . "Even left-leaning PolitiFact rated Harris’s attack on Kavanaugh as “false.” "Harris’s efforts were so brazen that they even earnedcriticismfrom the two major liberal newspapers in her home state, the San Francisco Chronicleand the Los Angeles Times.
"At one point, she asked Kavanaugh about whether he had spoken to anyone at a particular law firm, adding ominously: “Be sure about your answer, sir.” But as the Times‘ Michael McGough noted, “there was no big reveal.' ” Mollie@MZHemingway
"One of my favorite stories in Justice on Trial was when Kamala Harris blatantly tried to perjury trap Kavanaugh by asking if he'd ever talked to anyone at a particular law firm. It was pretty lame but Media LOVED IT. Then it all fell apart because she literally had nothing." . . .

"As the NBA and MLB return from their coronavirus-imposed hiatus, it appears TV viewers are not interested in what the increasingly woke leagues have to offer.
"With both baseball and basketball draped in all sorts of Black Lives Matter and social justice symbolism for their opening games, a substantially smaller number of fans tuned-in to the rest of the week’s games.
"According to Outkick.com, neither league did well.

"his branding, as I pointed out with regard to Trump branding people, only works if there is some truth to it and it resonates with the public perception." . . .
. . . "Let’s face it, Jeb was Low Energy, Hillary was Crooked, Little Marco, and down the list. It only works because people hear it and say, well, yeah.
"Harris is a phony. She will say anything, and shift her positions as needed. That’s why she didn’t gain any traction in the primaries, not even among black voters.
"In a twist, the new attack ad brands Biden as “Slow Joe,” a switch from “Sleepy Joe”. That might signal that the Trump campaign is putting Biden’s mental acuity front and center. If Trump himself starts using it, then a clear branding decision has been made." . . .
. . . "There was a point in the primary, sometime in the last 2,982,092,094 years where Biden’s penchant for making women horrendously uncomfortable with unwanted touching, along with some more serious allegations, were a thing of headlines.
"Somewhere in there, when she too was vying for the top spot on the ticket, Sen. Harris (newly minted at Biden’s VP pick) said she believed Biden’s accusers.
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) said Tuesday that she believes women who say they felt uncomfortable after receiving unwanted touching from former Vice President Joe Biden.
“I believe them and I respect them being able to tell their story and having the courage to do it,” Harris said at a presidential campaign event in Nevada.
The California senator added that Biden will need to decide for himself whether to run for president.
. . . The left as constituted today has brought us to the brink. Biden and Harris are both creatures of this belief that anarchy will work in their favor. Trump is the only man standing between savagery and the civilized society most of us have taken for granted at least for the last many decades. Patricia McCarthy
Man shot near White House on Monday shouted threats, AP sources day"A man shot and wounded by a uniformed Secret Service officer, prompting President Donald Trump to be abruptly escorted out of a briefing room during a televised news conference, had been threatening to kill people near the White House, two officials familiar with the matter said Tuesday. "The man was identified as Myron Berryman, 51, and is expected to face federal assault charges, the officials said. He remained hospitalized with critical injuries on Tuesday, they said. "The officials, who were briefed on the investigation, could not discuss the ongoing probe publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
Berryman had approached the uniformed officer just before 6 p.m. Monday at the corner of 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, just blocks from the White House, and told the officer he had a weapon, Secret Service Uniformed Division Chief Tom Sullivan said. He then moved aggressively toward the officer and appeared ready to fire before the officer shot him once, Sullivan said. "Sullivan would not answer questions Monday night about whether the man had indeed been armed, but no weapon was recovered at the scene, the officials said.
Before the shooting, Berryman had been shouting that he was going to kill people, according to the officials familiar with the matter. "Sullivan said after the man told the officer he had a weapon, he turned around and “ran aggressively toward the officer, and in a drawing motion, removed an object from his clothing,” Sullivan said. The suspect then “crouched into a shooter’s stance, as if about to fire a weapon” before the officer shot the man once in the torso, he said." . . . The Secret Service statement does not specify whether the individual was armed, but he was reportedly unarmed according to law enforcement sources who spoke with CNN. "Berryman’s sister, Sonya Hemmelgarn, affirmed that initial reports were inaccurate and told the Dayton Daily News that “Myron was not armed,” according to the Journal News. “They said he had a weapon? He ran toward him?” Hemmelgarn told the Washington Post. “This is crazy. He is a man of God. He would not have a weapon for sure. His weapon is the word of God.”
She also told the Post that he could have been participating in protests outside the White House.
" 'We are still trying to figure out what is going on and how my brother is doing,” she said, adding that her brother remained hospitalized Tuesday in critical but stable condition.
"The Secret Service said in their Monday statement that the agency would be conducting an internal review of the officer’s actions and that the Metropolitan Police Department was contacted to conduct an investigation. " . . .Pacific Pundit
Trump brilliantly narrows down the location of his acceptance speech. Either break yet another law and do it at the WH, or do it at Gettysburg and celebrate your devotion to White Supremacy.
. . . "As Abraham Lincoln said in his famous speech on that great battlefield: . .
“Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure.
We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives, that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
"The speech sought to bind up the wounds of the nation, to ensure that any nation so conceived can in fact endure." . . .
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God- having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. . . .2 Timothy 3:1-5, New Testament
Harris also suggested Biden supported racists on national television, but I guess we’re supposed to forget that, too.

Kamala BLM Harris Praises ‘Incredible’ Black Lives Matter But Feeling Isn’t Mutual"Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) praised Black Lives Matter activists for their "incredible" and "smart" activism during her Wednesday night Comedy Central interview, saying their demonstrations enabled some of the accomplishments she made on criminal justice reform. " 'One of the benefits that I believe the system received and that helped me do the work that I was able to accomplish was because of the incredible activism and smart activism of folks, like the folks who were Black Lives Matter," Harris told Trevor Noah. "The folks who were involved on the outside who were saying and demanding that the system would change, demanding and marching and advocating." " 'That activism allowed me to then be able to do some of the work that I accomplished. I could not have done anything I did without that level of organized, smart activism on the outside," Harris said. "The admiration for that "activism on the outside" from Harris doesn't go both ways, as many prominent activists in the black community have expressed doubt about her presidential campaign because of her actions as a California prosecutor. "Johnetta Elzie, one of the lead organizers of the 2014 protests in Ferguson, Missouri, responded to Harris's presidential launch by tellingSlateshe was "not excited" about her run and criticizing her reluctance to back body-camera legislation in California. "Having lived through the experience of protesting in Ferguson, and knowing the impact body cameras could've had on catalyzing ourmoment, I couldn't understand her position," Elzie said." . . .

While being pursued by police, the man, who was on foot, “turned and fired shots” at officers before being struck himself and taken to a local hospital, Deputy Chief Delonda Tally told Fox 32 Chicago. "Latrell Allen, 20, was charged with attempted murder Monday after firing on officers, according to Chicago police. A video posted on Facebook around 6:30 p.m. falsely claimed that officers had shot and killed a 15-year-old boy. "The shooting prompted hundreds of people to descend on downtown Chicago early Monday with vandals smashing the windows of dozens of businesses and making off with merchandise, cash machines and anything else they could carry, police said." . . .

Black Lives Matter "jumped the shark". . . "For their part, Black Lives Matter decided to hold a rally last night to show solidarity, not with police or against violence, but with the looters." . . .
But we live in a country where BLM is celebrated while innocuous movements like the Tea Party were demonized. Very little makes sense anymore. What I do know is that BLM needs to be pushed back on.
Rattled yet?. . . "Additionally, when there's a crisis, we grade a leader's performance — can this leader handle the heat? When the going gets tough and scary, will this person be there for the nation? Will the leader show grace under pressure?" . . .
After providing a few more details, Trump opened the floor for questions. A reporter asked, "Are you rattled by this at all, Mr. President?" Trump's response was simple. "I don't know. Do I seem rattled?" In fact, he didn't seem rattled. Trump acknowledged that the world is a dangerous place and then quickly got back to business.
