The palace coup is on.  Democrats are ready to toss Joe Biden off the back of the train. They’re done with the old man, and they are leaking like a sieve. Biden has a serious problem on his hands from his own party at this point. It had appeared for a moment as if the pressure on him to go was going to let up, but now it has broken out in full force in the open, and that is because of all the polling data. An article published in the New York Times yesterday stated: Democratic leaders have come to their conversations with Mr. Biden armed with grim new data. According to a poll from Blue Rose Research, a firm that formed from but is no longer affiliated with Future Forward, the super PAC supporting Mr. Biden, just 18 percent of voters and only 36 percent of people who voted for Mr. Biden in 2020 believe he is mentally fit and up to the job of being president.  Mr. Schumer, according to the Democrat close to him, was also given data from a leading Democratic super PAC showing Mr. Biden’s deficit growing to 5 percentage points or more in the must-win states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, and his deficit in three other key states — Nevada, Georgia and Arizona — outside the margin of sampling error. Biden’s poll numbers are declining, and this necessitates a conversation about pulling the plug on Joe. At this point in the 2024 cycle, it is very clear that God’s team, his writing team, is throwing every single plot point into a pot of stew. This is season eight of “Game of Thrones”; instead of dragging this story out over the course of two seasons, taking two seasons to get from King’s Landing all the way to the Frozen North, we’re going to be there in five seconds flat with the dragons because the plot points are coming fast and furious. It’s like drinking from a firehose. In the last month alone, we have seen Biden’s full-scale collapse on stage in the presidential debate. We had two weeks of deliberation about whether he was going to go, including multiple bizarre interviews with the president of the United States. We had an assassination attempt on Donald Trump. We then had Trump’s selection of his vice-presidential candidate. And now it turns out Joe Biden has COVID. That’s the least of his concerns. His senility is the most of his concerns. When I say his senility, I mean he is gone and everyone knows that; we’ve all known it for years. But now, you’re allowed to say it because it’s so clear. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show Biden did an interview with BET in which he was talking about his defense secretary, Lloyd Austin, and literally forgot his name, calling him “the black man.” They finally have the excuse to pull the plug on the old man. They put him in hospice care — or political hospice care — and now they’re just having the intra-family debate about whether Joe Biden or his campaign wants to live under these conditions, or whether he really would want, in his living will, for the plug to be pulled.  In that same interview with BET, Biden suggested a way out for Democrats: He would drop out if he had a medical issue. We’ve already seen a few problems from Biden, such as his inability to climb stairs. On Wednesday, he was trying to climb stairs, and he looked like the sloth from “Zootopia.” He was barely moving. Biden arrives at the airport in Vegas, tells reporter's he's "good" pic.twitter.com/68CP0266zk — Jacob Gardenswartz (@reporterjacobg) July 17, 2024 So now they have their excuse: Joe Biden has COVID. According to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Biden will return to his home in Delaware, where he will self-isolate. What does that mean? It means he’s going to have the full weekend to decide whether or not he’s going to go.  In the meantime, Biden’s team keeps saying he won’t leave while Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and Nancy Pelosi are all leaking like a sieve to the press, trying to publicly shame him out of the race.  According to Politico, “The flurry of leaks comes as Pelosi herself has coordinated with senior Democrats to try to push Biden out, cranking up the pressure on the president bit by bit in hopes that he’ll get the picture. (We’ve covered Pelosi for a long time now and can tell you her fingerprints are all over the knife.)” The palace coup is upon us.

A previously deported illegal immigrant has been charged in Florida with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. Kevin Mauricio Escobar Munoz, 20, was arrested on Wednesday by the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office for sexual assault and burglary with battery. According to police, Escobar Munoz broke into the 14-year-old victim’s home and then sexually assaulted her. Escobar Munoz is an illegal immigrant from Honduras and was previously deported in September 2022. He is currently in Okaloosa County Jail with an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer placed on him. The girl was attacked back in April and investigators said they just matched DNA to Escobar Munoz. “The victim told investigators that she awoke in her home located in Fort Walton Beach shortly before 7:00 a.m. on April 21st to a Hispanic male she did not know sexually assaulting her,” the sheriff’s office said in a news release. “She reported that he covered her mouth with his hand and spoke Spanish.” Law enforcement said that the girl said she believed the attacker left her home by going out the back door. “A medical examination of the victim showed a positive finding for sexual abuse. On July 11th, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement reported the male DNA profile which matched the contributing male sample from the victim’s sexual assault kit belonged to Escobar Munoz,” the sheriff’s office said. According to investigators, Escobar Munoz was living within one mile of where the victim lived. In a press conference, Okaloosa County Sheriff Eric Aden said that the southern border needed to be secured and that illegal immigration needs to end. “I can tell you from a sheriff’s standpoint or local law enforcement, I’m tired of it,” he said, according to WEAR News. “There’s a process and I understand it’s arduous, but many people do it the right way. But coming across our borders and being able to have the benefit of citizens that local citizens don’t even have, it has to stop.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Aden cited another case from the county where 24-year-old Jose Chan, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala, was arrested over the assault of another 14-year-old girl. “These are two 14-year-old young girls and young girls have been prayed upon by illegal aliens,” he said. “Ask yourself at what point does it stop?” A record number of illegal immigrants have surged across the border under President Joe Biden, prompting calls for him to shut down the border.

'They were good signs certainly for him'

Multiple veterans with Bronze Stars under their belts ripped President Joe Biden for “insulting” comments he made Saturday directed toward Democratic Colorado Rep. Jason Crow. Biden reportedly jumped on a Zoom call with moderate Democrats to address their concerns that he might not be able to win the election. The president grew enraged when Crow, […]

Sen. Kevin Cramer said Thursday he expects that Kimberly Cheatle “will no longer be the director” of the Secret Service after “stonewalling” questions about the assassination attempt Saturday on former President Donald Trump.  The North Dakota Republican made the comment in an interview with The Daily Signal one day after joining a group of colleagues who confronted Cheatle at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. A viral video shows the senators following Cheatle at the RNC and asking why Trump was allowed by the Secret Service to take the stage late Saturday afternoon at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. A gunman lying on a nearby rooftop shot at the presidential candidate, hitting him in the right ear. One rally attendee was killed, and two others were seriously injured.  Cheatle said she would answer the senators’ questions “at the appropriate forum” and eventually left them to enter a private room. The American people deserve answers from the Secret Service. pic.twitter.com/PNFF11v00Q— Marsha Blackburn (@VoteMarsha) July 18, 2024 “After what she pulled last night, in front of cameras and lots of witnesses, I don’t see how she survives,” Cramer told The Daily Signal’s Rob Bluey. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle (Kamil Krzaczynski/AFP/Getty Images) You walk through the timeline … we know now that for at least 20 minutes, you knew of a potential threat on a rooftop 150 yards away from the stage, you identified [him] … and then notified the countersniper unit of this potential threat, and then you let Donald Trump get on stage. Why did the Secret Service not keep Donald Trump from going on that stage, knowing there was a potential threat 150 yards away? “Simple question,” Cramer told Bluey. “[Cheatle] didn’t want to answer it on the phone, and she darn sure didn’t want to answer it in person last night.” He added: “There’s something they’re not telling us. They are clearly stonewalling intentionally, and they’ll have to work on their spin for sure.” The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Cheatle to testify next week on the assassination attempt.

Everyone my parents’ age remembers where they were when President John F. Kennedy was shot. Their parents remember where they were when imperial Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Last Saturday, July 13, shortly after 6 p.m., I was sitting by the pool reading the news on my phone. I bet you remember where you were, too. In an instant, we saw the attempted assassination of a former and perhaps future American president. Donald Trump came within half an inch of being the fifth president to be felled by an assassin’s bullet; he is now one of several more who were wounded in an assassination attempt. Trump’s reaction under fire at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and the photographs taken in its immediate aftermath, already are iconic reminders of an awful day. The instant coverage from much of the news media seemed to minimize the gravity and tragedy of the situation. A CNN headline—“Secret Service Rushes Trump Off Stage After He Falls at Rally”—is one example. The nadir of “Republicans pounce”-style journalism was this headline from Newsweek: “MAGA responds with outrage after Donald Trump injured at Pennsylvania rally.” That headline didn’t last long but was captured by an X user. There will be plenty of time to investigate how one deranged, 20-year-old young man was able to get this close to changing U.S. history and still managed to murder a 50-year-old husband and father as he heroically protected his family in the stands. The shooter also wounded two others in the crowd. After such an awful event, and with so many questions to answer, not a lot of people focused on what Trump was saying at the time. He was talking about the problem of mass illegal immigration. As the nearly fatal shot rang out, Trump had just turned to point at a large chart that was immediately familiar to those of us who write about border security issues. Many like it exist, but that particular chart was produced by the office of Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and he has used it in multiple congressional hearings to illustrate the unprecedented scale of the man-made problem at the U.S. borders. Here is the same chart, from the website for Johnson’s Senate office: The chart on illegal immigration, with its distinct orange and blue colors, shows the peaks and troughs of Border Patrol encounters with illegal aliens at the southwest border from 2012 to 2024. Bold text on the chart points out key presidential policy decisions and what happened in response. In 2012, when President Barack Obama announced a program called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals to prevent deportation of children brought here by illegal immigrants, there were about 40,000 encounters a month with illegal aliens at the southwest border. But Border Patrol encounters with illegal aliens hit around 70,000 a month by mid-2014, at which time Obama declared a “humanitarian crisis.” Trump, as president for two years, in January 2019 implemented the Migrant Protection Protocols, popularly known as “Remain in Mexico,” along with a range of other efforts to deter, detain, and deport those caught crossing illegally into the U.S.—as our law requires. Border Patrol encounters with illegal aliens at and between ports of entry on the southern border briefly spiked to almost 150,000 in one month of 2019, but by the end of Trump’s term monthly encounters with illegal aliens were down to just over 30,000. That’s not perfect, but it shows the effect on the ground of good strategy, tactics, and intra-agency cooperation in enforcing border security and immigration law. It also sets the stage, graphically, for what happened next. President Joe Biden took office with promises to stop construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, end the Remain in Mexico policy, pause deportations for at least 100 days, and encourage a “surge” of supposed asylum claimants at the southern border. Shortly after his inauguration Jan. 20, 2021, Biden issued a raft of executive orders undoing everything previous presidents of both parties had found effective at reducing mass illegal entry. Alejandro Mayorkas, Biden’s secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, set restrictive new enforcement priorities for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a subagency of DHS. Mayorkas also put onerous procedures in place that kicked interior enforcement of immigration law to the back-most of burners. The results of these policies may be seen on the enlarged chart to which Trump turned his head Saturday evening with miraculous timing. From Biden’s first day in office, Johnson’s chart looks like the birth of a volcano. Monthly encounters with illegal aliens at the southwest border take off into the chart’s higher reaches, averaging 150,000 a month, then over 200,000, then 250,000. For December 2023, the chart shows the highest ever total in American history—over 300,000 encounters of inadmissible aliens at the southwest border. It looks like the Himalayas at the far-right corner of the chart, compared to rolling hills just a few years earlier. Most Americans are still somewhat in shock at how close we came to losing one of the men who will be president in 2025. Despite disgraceful behavior by some who ought to know better in the news media, social media, and politics, the majority of right-thinking Americans surely agree that violence is abhorrent and its use for political ends is an intolerable assault on democracy. We deserve the chance to debate, disagree, and ultimately settle vital policy questions without denigrating each other to the point of inciting violence. Once the shock of July 13 wears off, we again will debate the policy questions of our time and select those we think best able to address them. Along with the economy, illegal immigration has become one of the most important issues for voters in the Nov. 5 election. A growing number of voters in both major parties are telling pollsters that those who entered the country illegally shouldn’t be allowed to stay, and that we should deport those who are ordered removed after due process. It’s not my place to tell anyone how to vote. I just hope that whoever does sit in the Oval Office and in the halls of Congress in January will bear Johnson’s chart in mind. I hope the new U.S. president and those in Congress will understand that the policies of presidents—far more than political, environmental, and other events in far-off countries—are what determine how many illegal aliens likely will attempt to enter the United States in the months and years ahead.

MILWAUKEE—Within a veritable armed camp—surrounded by steel fences, concrete barriers, and severely well-armed law enforcement officers—Republicans are having a Grand Old Party on the shores of Lake Michigan. Milwaukee’s denizens have been cheerful hosts, eager for their political and journalistic guests to savor their excellent beer, barbecue, and beautiful buildings. From tax-reform debates to the Log Cabin Republicans’ soiree for gay right-wingers in an art-filled, waterside castle, one first-time conventioneer perfectly captured the entire scene: “CPAC on crack.” (That’s a reference to the annual Conservative Political Action Conference.) Five things have stood out amid all the hoopla, bonhomie, and steadily improving weather. Topic A is the fact that former President Donald Trump is here at all. Everyone marvels at what a narrow escape he endured at the hands of a would-be assassin just two days before the start of the Republican National Convention. The bandaged former president’s entry into the Fiserve Forum on Monday night swelled emotions, from the adoration of his supporters to admiration for his seemingly infinite strength. Observers described Trump’s demeanor as “reserved,” “subdued,” and even “solemn.” While his signature bravado might return in full force, and he appeared cheerier Tuesday night, there’s little doubt that even a man of Trump’s abundant self-confidence must have been rocked to his core after coming within a pinkie’s width of never again seeing his family, friends, and fans. Unlike previous Republican Party platforms, this year’s manifesto is less a book than a brochure. It treats brevity as a virtue and is designed for laymen to read, not for wonks to dissect—not that there’s anything wrong with that! “Our party’s platform pledges seven times to cut regulations that are killing our jobs and costing you thousands of dollars,” Platform Committee Chairwoman Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., told the convention Monday night. “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris outsourced our energy supply, driving electricity prices up over 29%. The day Joe Biden and Kamala Harris walked into office, gas was $2.40 a gallon on average. Today it’s $3.54. Our platform says we will make America energy dominant.” Trump’s selection of freshman Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, as his running mate stirred polite applause from those I interviewed. At age 39, a Vice President Vance would represent a classic passing of the torch to a new generation—at least once Trump transfers it. The Iraq War veteran also is quick-witted and eloquent. Still, numerous participants seemed puzzled why Trump did not select someone who could throw a key state into play (such as Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin or former Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., who also could rally Jewish voters), solidify Republican gains among Hispanics (Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida), or expand the GOP’s appeal among blacks and muffle Democrats’ relentless shrieks of “racism!” (Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina). Vance does none of the above. But he’s Trump’s choice, and that’s good enough for most folks around here. Tuesday night’s prime-time endorsements of Trump and warm words about him from former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dramatized the total unity that the GOP now enjoys. Trump’s former rivals are now allies, and their backers will follow them onto the Trump Train, if they have not boarded already. What a contrast with the Democrat Party. Its cinematically rich infighting should be titled “Throw Poppa from the Train.” Finally, Trump’s battle cry has been updated, slightly and cleverly. A huge sign inside Fiserv Forum reads: “Make America Great Once Again The last two words subtly remind voters how great America was during Trump’s first three years, before the COVID-19 pandemic ruined everything. Trump delivered a tight southern border, record-high tax cuts, record-low unemployment, energy dominance, falling crime, rising school-choice options, four Middle East peace agreements, and zero new wars. Securing four more years of such triumphs is no pipe dream. Trump and his conservative policies fueled all of this and much more. And, with the consent of the American people, they will do so—once again. We publish a variety of perspectives. Nothing written here is to be construed as representing the views of The Daily Signal.
