A Democratic National Committee member filed a complaint on Wednesday seeking to have Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein removed from the general election ballot in Wisconsin. The complaint alleges that the Green Party can’t nominate presidential electors in Wisconsin and argues that without electors, the Green Party is ineligible to have a candidate on the ballot, the Associated Press reported. Stein was on the ballot in Wisconsin as the Green Party’s candidate in the 2016 election and received more than 31,000 votes. Former President Donald Trump beat Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016 by just under 23,000 votes, resulting in some Democrats blaming Stein for Trump’s victory in the swing state.

The DNC complaint alleges that the Green Party does not have a person who is qualified to nominate electors under state law, which says that those who nominate electors must be current state officers or candidates for the state legislature. “We take the nomination process for President and Vice President very seriously and believe every candidate should follow the rules,” senior adviser to the DNC Adrienne Watson said in a statement. “Because the Wisconsin Green Party hasn’t fielded candidates for legislative or statewide office and doesn’t have any current incumbent legislative or statewide office holders, it cannot nominate candidates and should not be on the ballot in November.” The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled in 2020 that the Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins could not be added to the presidential election ballot. The court argued that putting him on the ballot in September after many mail-in ballots had been sent out because of the COVID pandemic would “create a substantial possibility of confusion among voters who had already received, and possibly returned, the original ballots.” Joe Biden beat Trump in Wisconsin by just over 20,000 votes, a slim margin that could have been significantly affected by a Green Party candidate on the ballot. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI A Democrat-backed group petitioned a judge to have Robert F. Kennedy Jr. removed from New York’s 2024 ballot and succeeded. Earlier this week, the New York judge ruled that Kennedy should not appear on the state’s ballot, arguing that the independent candidate falsely stated that he was a New York resident on his nominating petitions when he is a resident of California, according to the AP. Kennedy appealed the ruling, stating, “The Democrats are showing contempt for democracy. They aren’t confident they can win at the ballot box, so they are trying to stop voters from having a choice. We will appeal and we will win.”

Police officer Travis “T.J.” Brown, 36, who was allegedly tackled to the ground and left in critical condition last Friday by a demonstrator at a protest in Ferguson, Missouri, a St. Louis suburb, marking the 10th anniversary of Michael Brown’s death, has shown signs of progress while he lies in a coma. This is the authorized gofundme for Ferguson Officer Travis Brown who suffered a traumatic brain injury during protests that turned violent last Friday night. He has 2 beautiful daughters.

In the past few days, we’ve witnessed a few small but significant signs of progress—three coughs, and slight movements in his leg and hand. These moments, though brief, filled us with hope and joy.” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW!

Officer Brown, a father of two, was knocked to the ground by a protester later identified as Elijah Gantt, 28. Brown was unconscious at the scene, and Gantt was still on top of him when other officers pulled him off and attempted to provide aid. “If you look at the video, the officer is standing up, waiting to catch this guy,” Police Chief Troy Doyle said Wednesday. “This guy tackled my guy like he’s a football player.” WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI Former St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch said of Officer Brown: I remember well when I was commissioning him and having given his oath of office, he had a family member pin his badge on. I just remember the big smile on his face, and I thought, “Boy, this guy’s got one of those contagious kind of smiles.” There’s a lot of raw emotion about whether or not he’s going to be able to beat this and survive. And if he does, is he going to ever be able to come back to work? He was very ambitious. It didn’t take him long to get into a specialized unit. He was in a couple.

Billionaire leftist Mark Cuban and comic Jon Stewart mocked X CEO Elon Musk on The Daily Show after his interview with former President Donald Trump, prompting Musk to demolish them in return. “I mean, look at Elon, right?” Cuban began. “Elon, in being one of the most powerful people, he’s trying to be the most influential man in the world — it sounds like a commercial — but literally, that’s what Twitter has given him.” “I’ve gotta say, I think he might be that,” Stewart opined. “I don’t even think he’s trying to be. When you talk about somebody who is setting up satellite links for war zones and also controlling discourse in the most important media platform, he is the most powerful.” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW!

And so Twitter gives him the ability to connect to the prime minister, the head of every country in the world. And that person, whoever’s in charge of that country, has an interest in what happens on Twitter, and what happens on Twitter, because of the control of the algorithms, being the biggest user, is all dependent on Elon Musk. He literally, wherever his thumb wants to go, he gets to push as hard as he wants.” “I think he’s very clear that civil war is inevitable, and that white people are under the gun,” Stewart said, “Frightening, concerning,” Cuban guffawed, then opened the door for Musk to pulverize his argument, saying, “When you write an algorithm — I haven’t written a lot, it’s been a while — but when you write one, you get to set the parameters of what you want to see happen. And he certainly has done that to the things he likes.” WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI Stewart echoed, “But isn’t this a certain amount of tech bro malpractice, that there is this incredible need in the marketplace of something that is slightly less biased or … toxic?” Mark Cuban and Jon Stewart slam ? and @elonmusk, accuse Musk of manipulating the algorithm to push his preferred narratives to influence the election: Cuban: “He's trying to be the most influential man in the world…when you write an algorithm, you set the parameters of what… pic.twitter.com/uMLVHjZ7p2 — Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) August 14, 2024 Musk then gave his mocking critics a dose of reality, tweeting, “That was hilarious ?

Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz is refusing a second vice presidential debate held by left-leaning CNN, but Vice President Kamala Harris‘ campaign said it is willing to accept a second presidential debate against President Donald Trump in October under a specific condition. Shortly after Vance accepted a CBS News debate on October 1, which Walz previously agreed to attend, Vice President Kamala Harris‘ presidential campaign released a statement that ruled out a CNN debate on September 18 that Vance also said he would accept. “The debate about debates is over,” said Michael Tyler, communications director for Harris-Walz 2024. He claimed former President Donald Trump‘s campaign accepted their proposal for three debates, including one hosted by ABC News on September 10. The third, Tyler added, would be another face-off between Harris and Trump in October — contingent on Trump showing up to the ABC debate. Vance responded to the statement on X, alluding to the controversy over Walz embellishing his service record with the Army National Guard, claiming he carried weapons “in war” when he was never in combat and leaving his artillery unit before it received orders to deploy to Iraq.

Buy here for a theater near you. “Tim Walz refuses to deploy!” said Vance, a U.S. Marines veteran who did serve in Iraq. “In all seriousness, if you want to be the VP of the United States, you should make your pitch directly to the American people. A debate is an opportunity to take your case to voters without a teleprompter or a script. Can’t imagine why anyone would say no.” In all seriousness, if you want to be the VP of the United States, you should make your pitch directly to the American people. A debate is an opportunity to take your case to voters without a teleprompter or a script. Can't imagine why anyone would say no. — JD Vance (@JDVance) August 15, 2024 Earlier in the day, Vance announced that he had accepted the invitation to CBS News’ October 1 debate in New York City and dared Walz to appear for a second one held by CNN on September 18. “American people deserve as many debates as possible,” he declared in a post to X. Walz had said he would show up to the October 1 debate on Wednesday, the same day CBS said it sent out its invitations to the candidates. CBS noted that it had provided three other dates — September 17, September 24, and October 8 — as possible times to hold the event. October 1 comes after early voting for the November election begins in some states. Vance said in a Wednesday evening interview on Fox News he wanted to assess the proposed rules and moderators before making a decision. “We’re not going to walk into a fake news media garbage debate,” he said. He signaled having no audience at the venue would be a deal-breaker. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI CBS publicly revealed the moderators on Thursday only after both candidates agreed to the October 1 date: “CBS Evening News” anchor and managing editor Norah O’Donnell, and “Face the Nation” moderator and CBS News chief foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan. All the rules of the VP debate were not publicly available as of press time. In June, Trump faced President Joe Biden in a CNN debate with no audience and mic cuts. After Biden’s fumbling performance sparked a crisis of confidence among his allies, he stepped aside under pressure and Harris took the top spot on the Democratic Party’s ticket. Trump and Harris are scheduled to have their first debate on September 10. That event is set to be hosted by ABC News. Trump has floated two other debates next month, one held by Fox News on September 4 and another held by NBC News on September 25, but Harris’ campaign has repeatedly indicated it would only consider a second presidential debate against Trump if the Republican nominee attends the ABC debate first.

Walz is a self-aggrandizing valor thief.
