1.) Tucker Carlson interviews Matt Taibbi, “one of the last working journalists in the west.”
2.) Another Carlson video: a masterclass on how to deal with dishonest reporters.
3.) All of the pressure is on Biden heading into tonight’s debate.
A new June NYT/Siena poll shows that 30% of registered black voters are backing Trump.
It’s difficult to overstate how extraordinary that is. For context, in the June 2020 NYT/Siena poll Trump was backed by only 5% of black voters. As Michael Tracey notes, “If Trump were to receive 30% of the Black vote in 2024, it would be the largest percentage for any Republican since Nixon in 1960, who received 32% of the Black vote.” The thing that should really concern the Biden campaign is that this astronomical jump in support is being replicated in poll after poll.
And today Biden hit an all-time low in Gallup favorability ratings as Trump hit a four year high. We’re just over four months away from the election, and barely 1/3 of the country has a favorable view of Biden.

Trump’s lead in the RCP National Average (+1.5%) is now bigger than it’s been in three months.
Every single Presidential Election Forecast poll tracked by InteractivePolls currently predicts that Trump will win.
To say that Biden is in dire straits would be an understatement.
4.) While the majority of U.S. voters oppose it, 89% of Ivy League graduates are in favor of “strict rationing of meat, electricity, and gas to fight climate change.”
This is from a January 2024 Committee to Unleash Prosperity report.
Also, 35% of American elites (people with postgraduate degrees, earn $150K+ per year, and live in large cities) say they would rather cheat than lose an election compared with only 7% of ordinary voters.
Reminds me of this quote from George Orwell found in a letter he wrote back in 1944:
…there is the fact that the intellectuals are more totalitarian in outlook than the common people. On the whole the English intelligentsia have opposed Hitler, but only at the price of accepting Stalin. Most of them are perfectly ready for dictatorial methods, secret police, systematic falsification of history etc. so long as they feel that it is on ‘our’ side.
5.) A perfect example of why Biden’s student loan cancellation grift is a gigantic waste of your taxpayer money.
In a now deleted post on X, Ben Kamens, the communications director for Representative Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), celebrated the Biden-Harris administration paying off his student loans.
Kamens’s two loans were taken out in 2010. The original principal balances were $2,750 and $5,500. He was apparently unable to repay $8,250 over a span of 14 years.
According to LegiStorm, Kamens is making $91k/year (doesn’t include annual bonuses), and he owns a home worth over half a million dollars. Not only that, but as a Capitol Hill staffer, he was already getting his student loans paid off ($800+/month) for FREE by the federal government through the employee student loan repayment program.
The letter even notes that because of the American Rescue Plan Act, the balance of the loans forgiven is not considered taxable income at the federal level. So Democrats, who want to step up tax enforcement with a larger IRS, wrote into law that their special one-time income for people who didn’t pay back their student debt, a category that includes White House staff members in addition to their congressional staff, is tax-free.
Kamens posted this for the whole world to see the day after the Congressional Budget Office added $400 billion to its deficit projection for this year. That includes a $145 billion increase in outlays due to the Biden administration’s student-loan programs.
Here’s another example of this student loan grift—Melvin Carter, the mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota ($132k/year salary), also had his paid off:
That Columbia graduation is the creepiest thing ever, made my skin crawl. I don't know what's creepier, the Karenocrat reciting the loyalty oath or the people willing to mumble along. Nice to know that the first act of all these physicians is parroting lies and pledging fealty to political correctness.
I hate Soviet America.
The only thing that matters in this election is whether the Democrats can, prior to election night, guess (using polling and analytics) the delta between "expected" poll results vs how many votes they need to find in 7-10 precincts, in 5-7 states in order win.
If they determine they can't close the gap, without being obvious, they'll deploy political violence.
It really is that simple.
