Democrats X Account Posts Huge Self-Own That Accidentally Nails Biden
The problem was that Joe Biden didn't seem to know any more than the intern who posted this. His policies and actions worsened things.
If there's no exact statute to charge Brennan and Obama under for this conspiracy to try to falsely frame an elected president, whatever. I still want every bit of this laundry aired out, and I think just about every other Republican does as well.
Trump Steps Up to End the Crime, Homeless Takeover After Blue-State Leadership Fail
During a signing at the White House, President Trump signed the "ENDING CRIME AND DISORDER ON AMERICA'S STREETS" Executive Order, which aims to restore "public order" to cities and remove homeless individuals from the streets by enforcing no urban camping, urban squatting, and loitering, among others.

mmm
Today on Capitol Hill...
It's Friday in late July, so things are mostly quiet on the Hill, but believe it or not, the House is actually holding two hearings today. Yes, the House. (They're field hearings.)
Meanwhile, the Senate has been slowly but surely advancing President Trump's nominees, including Matthew Lohmeier as Under Secretary of the U.S. Air Force (confirmed) and Emil Bove as 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals judge (cloture invoked).
White House What's Up
President Donald Trump is winging his way to Scotland today, due to arrive this evening. It's a five-day trip, during which he'll meet with British Prime Minister Kier Starmer and First Minister of Scotland John Swinney, as well as pay visits to his golf resorts at Turnberry and Aberdeen.
Full Court Press...
The 9th Circuit somewhat teed up the birthright citizenship issue on the merits, finding Trump's executive order proscribing it "likely" unconstitutional and affirming the district court's universal/nationwide injunction as to the state plaintiffs in Washington v. Trump, reasoning that there's no other way to provide them "complete relief."
I expect we'll see a motion for rehearing en banc from the administration before too long, particularly since Judge Patrick Bumatay filed a dissent on this one. And likely, an appeal to the Supreme Court after that.
I also expect we'll see some clips of Trump hitting the links at Turnberry and/or Aberdeen over the weekend. Right now, there's nothing formally on his schedule, and it's a safe bet he'll work in some golf time while there.
We'll also be keeping an eye out for additional trade talk during his powwows with Starmer and Swinney.
Nick Arama has a great write-up on the Democrats' latest bumble this morning. When I first saw the post, I thought perhaps my eyes were deceiving me.
Surely...surely they recognized the significance of that graph, right? I mean, eventually they did because they took it down after they got mocked into oblivion.
But it has me wondering about the person(s) who initially decided posting that was a good idea. If I had to wager, I'd bet they were fairly young — though, one would think they'd still be capable of reading and comprehending a basic line graph. Did this pass through any sort of review before bounding onto the X stage and inviting the mockery? Did no one stop to consider the import of it?
Beyond the embarrassment of this self-own, I wonder if this isn't emblematic of the larger issue the Democrat Party seems to have fallen prey to, namely, utter economic illiteracy. Listen, I was a Democrat until my early 30s. There's quite a bit I understand now that I didn't before, but I have to believe that even then, I'd have recognized the problem here. That no one did before this was posted tells me that the Dems are in a world of hurt.
Part kid, part Ewok...completely adorable.
