We miss her angry scowl on MSNBC, but Joy Reid will celebrate it. TD

Why do we want to force her to live in a country she hates?

Now:  Russia Says Ready To Discuss Prisoner Swap With the U.S. After Griner Sentence (trendingpolitics.com)

. . .“There is a special channel that has been agreed upon by the presidents, and no matter what anyone says publicly, this channel remains relevant,” the Russian minister Sergey Lavrov revealed at a press conference. Responding to this, the Secretary of State Antony Blinken commented that Lavrov’s comment had insinuated that Russia was “prepared to engage through channels we’ve established, and we’ll be pursuing that.”. . .

Brittany Griner case: Kamala Harris needed to sit that one out - American Thinker

So much to no one's surprise, she was dragged, big, on social media. and not from fringe right-wingers, but generally from the left. After all, if it's O.K. for Kamala to sentence low-level drug offenders to long stretches in the can, why is it somehow "bad" if Vladimir Putin's courts do it?

At last, a governor stands up to Soros

DeSantis said Warren has had “a very very troubling record” since he came to office in 2016, with the assistance of left-wing billionaire George Soros’ campaign cash.

DeSantis Cans Progressive, Soros-Funded State Attorney Andrew Warren › American Greatness   . . .“The states and localities that have allowed this to happen, they are ruing the day. You know why people are moving to Florida? Because their communities are no longer safe, thanks to prosecutors who think they know better than the people’s representatives, and they get to pick and choose which laws they’re enforcing,” he added.

"DeSantis said that Warren had been basically elevating his own “personal sense of social justice over what the law requires” of him.

"Indeed, the Tampa Bay Times described Warren as “a frequent face touting progressive justice policies as Hillsborough County’s state attorney.”

"In June of 2020, Warren reportedly announced that he would not prosecute 67 people arrested during a George Floyd riot. “He did it again in July, proclaiming his office would prosecute a local teen who the FBI said hacked celebrity Twitter accounts and used them to steal Bitcoin,” the Times reported in a Nov. 2020 glowing profile.". . .

Meghan McCain Sobbed And Lactated on Air After Rude Joy Behar Comment That Caused Her to Leave ‘The View’

 Decider  "During The Commentary Magazine Podcast, the former host explained that following the difficult birth of her daughter in 2020, Behar did not make her feel welcome when she came back from maternity leave.

"“I finally went back to the show and the day I went back to the show, Joy Behar said on air, ‘Nobody missed you, we didn’t miss you, you shouldn’t have come back,'” McCain said.

"She said she began hysterically crying and lactating on air before she went to her office, vomited, and called her brother who told her, “F these people, it’s not worth it.”

"In the end, McCain said she left because “I didn’t feel supported when I had my baby and I didn’t feel supported when I came back.”

"Earlier in the podcast, she explained that she only took the job because her father, late Sen. John McCain, “basically forced” her when he was sick because he thought it would be a “great, iconic job.' ”. . .

This anti-McCain video supports Behar as does the laugh track in the studio.

Gov. DeSantis takes on George Soros

 . . .Tucker Carlson’s opening monologue discusses how the Soros prosecutors are deliberately ignoring and perverting American law and explains how Gov. DeSantis’s actions are a great start to challenging this lawlessness:

DeSantis fires a Soros prosecutor and it’s glorious - American Thinker   "George Soros has been using his vast wealth, either directly or indirectly, to fund campaigns for hard-left prosecutors. Once in office, these prosecutors institute explicit policies that see them refusing to prosecute whole areas of criminal violations because the prosecutors disagree with state or municipal laws. People are finally starting to rebel. In San Francisco, voters booted out Chesa Boudin. In Los Angeles, the county is banning observers from the vote-counting process on the George Gascon recall. And in Florida, Gov. Ron. DeSantis just fired State Attorney Andrew Warren for failing to carry out his duties as a prosecutor.". . .

“I continue to work with my law enforcement counterparts who privately are frustrated with the state attorney, who seems intently focused on empathy for criminals and less interested in pursuing justice for crime victims,” Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said at the press conference. Brian Dugan, the former Tampa police chief, was even more blunt, saying: “Andrew Warren is a fraud…. This is a terrible day, that the governor had to come and clean up our mess.” 

 

What the Biden Administration Wrought in Afghanistan

. . .If China’s leaders doubt Biden’s credibility — and they have plenty of reasons to do so — they may believe they can get away with using force against Taiwan. The greatest crisis of the post–Cold War world may be upon us.

What the Biden Administration Wrought in Afghanistan - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics   "We are approaching the one-year anniversary of the collapse of the U.S.-backed Afghan government and its replacement with the Taliban. The Diplomat’s managing editor, Catherine Putz, spoke with Justine Fleischner of Afghan Peace Watch about what has transpired since then. Fleischner’s account is a damning indictment of the Biden administration as human rights abuses accumulate in Afghanistan and transnational terrorist threats reemerge.

"Fleischner noted that the Taliban rule has wrecked an already fragile economy; denied women educational and employment opportunities, access to health care, and freedom of movement; and resulted in the abduction, torture, and killing of at least 500 former members of the Afghan security forces.

"Meanwhile, the Taliban have established diplomatic relations with China, Russia, Pakistan, and Iran. Fleischner said that the Taliban “maintain longstanding ties with a host of regional terrorist groups, including the Pakistani Taliban (TTP), Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), and Kashmiri groups.” Al-Qaeda and ISIS-K are reportedly active within Afghanistan.

"According to Fleischner, the United States appears to lack any strategy for Afghanistan and “seems eager to move on from the botched evacuation effort.” The non-profit organization No One Left Behind, Fleischner noted, estimates that the administration left behind more than 160,000 Afghans who are eligible for Special Immigrant Visas. China, meanwhile, has provided economic support for the Taliban regime and is expected to include Afghanistan in its Belt and Road Initiative.

" 'The Taliban,” Fleischner said, “has clearly prioritized its religious and ideological agenda over the economy and the humanitarian needs of the Afghan people.”

"The Diplomat’s headline reads, “A year after the Taliban retook Afghanistan, economic collapse, human rights abuses, and terrorist threats loom large.”. . .

The alleged wannabe Kavanaugh assassin wasn’t just an ordinary guy

 The alleged wannabe Kavanaugh assassin wasn’t just an ordinary guy - American Thinker

"When Nicholas Roske learned that Roe v. Wade might be overturned, he grabbed a kidnapping and murder kit and headed over to Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house, hoping to make Kavanaugh the first in a trio of Supreme Court justice killings. Thankfully, even though federal and state law enforcement did almost nothing (despite laws on the books) to protect justices from protests at their house (a perfect cover for Roske), Roske was caught in time. Now we’re learning that Roske isn’t just another crazy leftist: He's a crazy leftist who also thinks he’s a woman.

"Andy Ngo got hold of the Court documents in which Roske identifies as a woman named “Sophie”:". . .

Court filings reveal new info about Nicholas Roske, the suspect who allegedly took steps to assassinate Judge Kavanaugh. Affidavit says Roske planned to kill 3 judges & that social media was used in planning. Additionally, Roske is revealed to be trans & goes by name "Sophie." pic.twitter.com/ihcrVgu1az

— Andy Ngô 🏳️‍🌈 (@MrAndyNgo) July 29, 2022

. . ." In the above documents, Roske identifies himself as an “MtF” named Sophie—that is, a Male to Female transgender. Pathetically, he seeks a female “cuddle” friend because, despite being a “female,” he’s unable to create sexual friendships with men. Also, quite unsurprisingly, he says he’s “420 friendly,” which means he’s a pot user. Pot, of course, is increasingly associated with psychotic criminality of the type you’d see in a man who thinks he’s a woman and who announces that “I am shooting for 3” Supreme Court justices to “remove” from the Supreme Court.

"There is something very wrong with too many of our young people. They are raised in a world without moral anchors because traditional values, which are fixed have been replaced with virtue signaling and wokeness, which are constantly moving targets."

EMBARRASSING! Ayman al-Zawahiri Killed in Home of 'New York Times contributor

  PJ Media  . . ."Significantly, the Times’ reporting on the killing of al-Zawahiri was stealth-edited to remove any mention of Sirajuddin Haqqani.

New York Post:

Now the Times is being accused of “stealth-editing” their reporting on the killing of al-Zawahri to remove details of the initial report specifically naming Haqqani.

“According to one American analyst, the house that was struck was owned by a top aide to Sirajuddin Haqqani, a senior official in the Taliban government whom American officials say is close to senior Qaeda figures,” the Times wrote in his initial reporting.

However, that paper axed that paragraph without an editor’s note and later replaced it with language that failed to name Haqqani specifically, as first pointed out by Pluribus editor Jeryl Bier.

“After the strike, members of the Haqqani network, a terrorist group that is part of the Taliban government, tried to conceal that Mr. Zawahri had been at the house and restrict access to the site, according to a senior administration official. But the official said the United States had multiple intelligence threads confirming that Mr. Zawahri was killed in the strike,” the Times wrote in the updated story.

Argus Hamilton's Rogue Report -

 Argus Hamilton (jewishworldreview.com)  "National Security Council spokesman Admiral John Kirby addressed reporters and stated there's been no change in America's one-China policy and said there's no reason for tensions. Yet all signs indicate that the U.S. is getting ready to get tough on China. This week we dropped Nancy Pelosi on them.

• Nancy Pelosi was escorted to Taiwan by five U.S. fighter jets while China's army mobilized on the opposite shore. She risked starting a nuclear war to enjoy center stage. I know that if I were a Millennial, nothing scares me like an eighty-two-year-old politician who's willing to die for her country.

• The U.S. Treasury sanctioned Putin's girlfriend Alina Kabaevea over her proximity to Putin. She's a stunningly beautiful Olympic gymnast and a rich media oligarch. Men, I've been searching the news all week for one woman in politics who's worth starting a nuclear war over, and I think we've found her.

• The White House issued a statement thanking the CIA and as well as allies in the Middle East for their work in tracking down a legendary terrorist holed up in Afghanistan's capital city of Kabul. Al Qaeda chieftain Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed by a drone. Finally Amazon got a delivery right.

• The CIA launched a drone missile that killed Al Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri on his balcony in Kabul. They said it's a new missile that doesn't explode, but slices through the target with rotating blades. Leave it to the Americans to invent a missile that kills the terrorist but spares the patio furniture.". . .

Sorry I Murdered You With My 'Hate Speech'

Ann Coulter  

But like Strossen, I believe in free speech. It's not the "hate speech" that bothers me; it's the physical violence and intentional race discrimination against white Americans that's beginning to get on my nerves

 "It's not every day that I praise a book by the former head of the American Civil Liberties Union, let alone the longest-serving president of that organization. 

"But I was delighted to have Nadine Strossen on my Substack recently to talk about her book, "HATE: Why We Should Resist It With Free Speech, Not Censorship" -- and not just because I am one of America's leading "hate speakers." (Oh, settle down, girls. That's according to woke college liberals, the only humans more infantile and narcissistic than Donald Trump.) 

Her book is a thoroughgoing, no-holds-barred defense of free speech. This makes her the rarest of creatures: a principled liberal. We should get her DNA in a lab and study it. 

"Being a liberal herself, Strossen pitches her argument to the left. That's fortunate, I'd say: These days, the most enthusiastic advocates for censorship are liberals. 

"Thus, she repeatedly notes that censorship has historically been used by the powerful to crush the "marginalized."

" I couldn't agree more! On the other hand, the two of us have very different ideas about who's "marginalized." 

"Strossen means feminists, gays, Muslims, blacks, Hispanics, immigrants, transgenders, nonbinaries and so on, whereas I mean everybody else, to wit: "cisgendered" white Americans.

" Not a certified victim? Don't even think of applying to Harvard, Princeton or Yale -- unless you've made a spectacle of yourself carrying on about gun control. Don't be funny, use hyperbole or engage in any conversation at all with bratty East Coast private-school kids on a college resume-building trip to Peru. (See Pulitzer Prize-winning science reporter Donald McNeil, fired by The New York Times for this reckless error.)

"Every time I'd read a description of this or that "hate speech" ban in Strossen's book, what leapt to mind wasn't someone saying only women have two X chromosomes, but the nonstop venom that is directed at white people.". . .
