This debate is in June because they’re hoping voters forget Joe Biden’s senility by November.

Alternatively, it leads to a push to replace Joe Biden.

DNC rules allow the organization to replace Biden with a nominee of their choice after the convention. All without going through the formal nomination process.

Biden's NATO press conference wasn't as bad as the insurgent Democrats hoped. For that reason, the attacks and leaks to the press concerning his mental capacity will increase. It will only get worse for Biden - which may, in fact, strengthen his resolve to stay in the race. Enjoy.

Sad footage of the aftermath: a Trump supporter killed in the stands. Terrible but necessary to see.

Butler County DA confirms that one spectator dead. Others may be hit. Shooter allegedly dead.

Biden declines to call it what it was: an assassination attempt.

The assassination attempt was bound to happen, given the rhetoric from the other side: that Trump is an “existential threat,” that the GOP was turning into Hezbollah, that Trump is a fascist who will open up camps and never leave office.

Mind you, those allegations are coming from the liberal mainstream – the Hezbollah comment, for example, was published in The Washington Post. More recently, the Washington Post compared Trump to Hitler.

Say those things long enough, and your supporters will start to believe it. And if they believe it they might just act on it.

What are the odds that after a long, drawn-out investigation, the Secret Service ends up blaming local authorities...

Special Counsel Jack Smith's Florida case against Donald Trump has been dismissed.

Judge Cannon:

"The Superseding Indictment is DISMISSED because Special Counsel Smith's appointment violates the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution."

Overview - the rationale behind Judge Cannon's dismissal of Special Counsel Smith's case against Donald Trump.

The Special Counsel's arguments concerning the legality of his appointment would erode Congressional powers, give the Executive unchecked power, and erode basic separation of powers principles.

The VP Pick is in: Trump selects Ohio Senator JD Vance.

New Jersey Democrat Bob Menendez convicted on all 18 counts in sweeping bribery and corruption trial.

Menendez accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes - including cash, a luxury vehicle, and gold bars in exchange for protecting his business associates and benefiting the country of Egypt.

The charges included conspiracy to commit bribery and extortion, and conspiracy for a foreign official to act as a foreign agent.

Service is honorable. Lies about service and abandoning your battalion?

As dishonorable as it gets. Kamala and Tim Walz have a problem and it's not going away.

Just in - Trump will not face sentencing in his New York case until after the election.

Judge Juan Merchan has rescheduled sentencing for November 26. It was previously set for September 18.

Huge break.

Latest Quinnipiac University Poll -

Trump leads in Michigan (3%) and Wisconsin (2%); Trump behind 3% in Pennsylvania.

We see the Pennsylvania race closer - but Quinnipiac, to their credit, admits that Kamala's support in PA (and elsewhere) is slipping.

Key quote: "The Harris post-debate starburst dims to a glow as Harris enters the last weeks slipping slightly in the Rust Belt."

Notable - Trump wins independents in all three states.

Momentum is shifting.

It turns out that latest Trump accuser was an Obama fundraiser and a Democrat donor.

And the reporter pushing the allegations is the same reporter who pushed a 2020 October surprise "sexual assault" - again, from a Democrat.

What are the odds?

Reasons for optimism -

Biden won Miami Dade County by approximately 7% in 2020.

Early voting shows Republican voters outpacing Democrats.

And Trump likely has the edge with Miami Dade independents.
