The Economist: This week’s cover
Kamala Harris stepped into the spotlight at the Democratic National Convention, pulling her party from the brink with a delicate balance—neither the faltering Biden nor the brash Trump. It's a tightrope act in a game where ideas take a backseat to survival.
In a world obsessed with polar extremes, Harris plays the middleman, keeping the lights on while the big shots squabble. The 2024 election looms like a dark shadow, and the stakes have never been higher.
Breitbart: UK Foreign Aid Sent to Chinese Cities Wealthier Than Areas of Britain
A new report reveals British taxpayer-funded foreign aid is being sent to regions wealthier than parts of the UK, including affluent cities in China, Malaysia, and Mexico. Critics call it a “Robin Hood in reverse,” urging a re-evaluation of aid priorities.
With British funds backing projects in prosperous areas, the call is clear: aid should target the genuinely needy, not well-off locales. The Institute of Economic Affairs suggests changes to ensure taxpayer money supports those in real poverty.
Breitbart: CNN's Bash: Doug Emhoff, Tim Walz Speak to Men Who Are Not 'Testosterone Laden'
At the Democratic National Convention, Dana Bash noted the Harris-Walz campaign's strategy to connect with men who embrace a softer masculinity, contrasting their approach with the traditional, hyper-masculine narratives seen at the Republican convention. The focus is on redefining male support for a female candidate amidst a shifting political landscape.
It's an evolution in political messaging, where understanding and redefining masculinity becomes vital in appealing to a broader male electorate, steering clear of the macho bravado typified by Trump's allies.
The Federalist: Kamala Harris Is A Race Hoaxer
As Biden and Harris court minority voters ahead of the election, Trump capitalizes on his appeal in battleground states, stirring tensions over race and identity. Harris’ past criticisms of Biden resurface, while Trump's dubious remarks spark outrage and concern within Democratic ranks.
With Trump edging into black voter territory, Democrats scramble to defend their narrative against accusations of racial exploitation. Controversies simmer, revealing fractures over identity politics as the political landscape tilts toward unease.
Breitbart: Fact Check: DNC Claims Tim Walz Rose to Command Sergeant Major
Governor Tim Walz’s military claim was darkened by the shadows of his past. While he was promoted to Command Sergeant Major, he was demoted to Master Sergeant just before retiring due to not completing necessary training. The official title never stuck.
The DNC's portrayal was a stroke of disingenuous theatricality, masking a truth muddied by missed milestones.
Forbes: Democrats Attack Project 2025 Agenda At DNC—But There’s Still Another Plan Under Wraps
At the Democratic National Convention, Project 2025—a secretive conservative agenda tied to Trump—took center stage as Democrats condemned its far-right policies. While a lengthy public agenda exists, insiders suggest the more critical decision-making playbook remains veiled in secrecy.
Conservative strategists, backed by the Heritage Foundation, aim to revamp government functions for a Trump administration, focusing on control and transition strategies. Their unwillingness to disclose further details raises concerns of hidden motives, igniting political tensions.

Breitbart: 10.1 Million Border Encounters Under Biden-Harris, Says House Committee

The report criticizes the administration’s humanitarian parole practices as a "massive parole shell game," dodging the crisis optics.
With the CHVN program paused due to fraud, the CBP One app continues to funnel migrants into the U.S. An uptick in crime, including a police shooting linked to a released migrant, highlights the risks tied to the current border policies.
