Hilarious: J.D. Vance Talks to Kamala Harris' Press Gaggle Since She Refuses To

Sighh, they really are trying to make fetch happen. Like ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today, Wednesday’s CBS Mornings did what they thought was needed to project joy over the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz ticket and claim they’re “electric” kick off rally was the start of something special. Reacting to clips of The Daily Show fawning over Walz, fill-in co-host Jericka Duncan boasted Walz “had a lot of good one liners” at the rally while co-host and Democratic donor Gayle King gushed that “from what we learned last night, he does seem to have a lot of skills.”     Tossing to chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes, King boasted that the “energized crowd...jumped off the screen” when she watched it on TV. Cordes, who was there, relayed “[i]t was electric inside the arena, too” with “10,000 screaming supporters, thousands more who were waiting outside but couldn’t get in” to see Harris and Walz “lavishing praise on one another”. “It was Walz who first dubbed the Republican nominees ‘weird’ two weeks ago. It caught fire with Democrats, so he brought it back last night,” she added. Cordes didn’t have a soundbite from the Republican inside, instead boiling it down to two sentences: “Former President Donald Trump called Harris and Walz the most radical left duo in American history. The race is on for both sides to define themselves and each other in what feels like a brand-new race.” Following the pattern set by ABC’s Selina Wang and NBC’s Hallie Jackson, CBS had senior White House and campaign correspondent Ed O’Keefe deliver the syrupy Walz biographical segment.     Here were some snippets, which included his military service (but not his questionable statements about it) and a touting of his leftist credentials (click “expand”): O’KEEFE: Born in Nebraska, the 60-year-old governor in his second term, has marveled at the interest in him. WALZ: I don’t know if every high school Geography teacher expects to be in this position at some point. O’KEEFE: Tim Walz also coached the state champion high school football team. HARRIS: Under those Friday Night Lights, Coach Walz motivated his players to believe they could achieve. O’KEEFE: An Army National Guard veteran, he first ran for Congress in 2006 in part over concerns with the Iraq war. WALZ: Our troops deserve a plan to win the peace. O’KEEFE: He represented a Southern Minnesota district, and strongly backed former President Donald Trump in 2016 and developed a bipartisan reputation that got him elected governor in 2018. Critics blamed him for a flatfooted response in 2020, the violence sparked by George Floyd’s murder in Minneapolis. People we spoke to in his St. Paul neighborhood admitted he could have done more faster. WOMAN: I think kind of the buck got passed. But I think you live and learn. O’KEEFE: Walz did enact a series of police reforms, including a ban on chokeholds. He spoke to us in 2021 after officer Derek Chauvin’s conviction. (....) O’KEEFE: More recently, Walz signed bills expanding school meals programs — WALZ: Now law. O’KEEFE: — banning conversion therapy for minors and protecting abortion services, even visiting a women’s health clinic in Minnesota with Vice President Harris. He and his wife Gwen, have two children. His daughter was conceived through IVF. (....) O’KEEFE: Hope often co-stars with him in some of his most popular videos. CBS wasn’t done. Later in the show, they trotted out Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to geek out over Harris and Walz. To see the relevant transcript from August 7, click here.

If there’s one person who might not be the best to listen to when it comes to your finances, it’s CNBC’s Jim Cramer. In fact, it's gotten so bad that he’s become a walking meme. However, he did say one thing that many on the right will agree is right — though it totally contradicted something he said just moments before. “If you care about your paycheck, you go with Trump,” Cramer boldly asserted, adding, “That’s what you do.” Cramer had just been praising the “business people” surrounding Harris, explaining that Biden didn’t have as many surrounding him. “So, this is a nice change of pace. There’s a lot of business people surrounding Harris,” he said before he immediately changed his own pace and said people who vote with their wallet should vote for Trump. Pat Gray of “Pat Gray Unleashed” isn’t surprised — but is amused. “He’s completely changed his tune,” he says, laughing. Keith Malinak is shocked that it happened so fast. “Yeah, but right there in the setup to that, he was like, ‘Oh, look at all these business people surrounding Harris, that’s good,’” he says. “Even in the same discussion he contradicted himself. Literally, the same breath,” Gray adds.

A California man was arrested for a violent sexual assault of a minor, and he has a long criminal past, said police. The victim was so severely injured in the attack that they were taken to a children's hospital for surgery. 'When you take the innocence of a young minor like that, you're a monster.' Chowchilla police and the Madera County Sheriff's Office performed a search at the residence of 40-year-old Arthur Dean Knapp, who was arrested for charges related to the alleged assault that occurred on Thursday. "To do something like this, he's absolutely a monster. When you take the innocence of a young minor like that, you're a monster," said Jeffrey Palmer, the Chowchilla chief of police. "He is a dangerous person and quite honestly after this, he is somebody that should never be out on the streets," he added. Knapp is facing charges, including rape, assault, and attempted murder. Police said he had a long criminal past including a conviction in 2019 for domestic violence. He was sentenced to six years in prison, and then in 2021, was sentenced again to six years in prison on charges that included assault. Knapp was on parole when he was arrested for the new charges. Madera County District Attorney Sally Moreno told KFSN-TV that laws had grown lenient over the last decade but that she would make sure that Knapp was prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law once the investigation is completed. Palmer asked the community to avoid trying to find the victim's identity out of respect for their privacy. "We're now having to talk about a young victim who is going to have to put their life together and they don't need everybody asking on social media who this victim is and quite honestly violating their rights of privacy," he said. KFSN published the man's booking photo on its news report on YouTube. Chowchilla is a small town of about 20,000 residents in central California. Like Blaze News?

Following the announcement of the company's Q2 results on Tuesday afternoon, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman spoke to shareholders and answered questions in an earnings call. As noted by Engadget, Huffman teased a few new features that we might see on the platform in the coming months, including paid subreddits and AI-powered search results. At one point, Huffman was asked about how he plans to protect the culture of Reddit while also making money for the company's new shareholders. "I think the existing, altruistic, free version of Reddit will continue to exist and grow and thrive just the way it has," Huffman said after explaining that new features haven't cannibalized the platform in the past. "But now we will unlock the door for new use cases, new types of subreddits that can be built that may have exclusive content or private areas, things of that nature." While Huffman did not specifically mention paying to access subreddits, it's easy to extrapolate. For instance, what if you could pay to access a subreddit with exclusive news about your favorite band, creator, or influencer? Maybe something similar to Instagram subscriptions? It sounds like it's just a matter of time before this becomes a reality. In his opening remarks, Huffman also revealed that AI-powered search results are coming. "Later this year, we will begin testing new search result pages powered by AI to summarize and recommend content, helping users dive deeper into products, shows, games, and discover new communities on Reddit," he announced. That's quite a vague summary of how AI search will actually work on Reddit, but we won't have to wait long to see how the company implements it.

Didius Julianus, born Marcus Didius Severus Julianus, is infamous for purchasing the Roman Empire. His rise to power followed the tumultuous reign of Commodus, who was assassinated in 192 AD, marking the end of the Nerva-Antonine dynasty. Commodus’ successor, Pertinax, attempted to rein in the Praetorian Guard’s power but was quickly killed by them. Seizing the opportunity, the Guard auctioned the empire to the highest bidder. Julianus, an ambitious and wealthy senator, won this bid. The Severan Emperors and the Demise of the Roman Senate Rome’s African Emperor: Septimius Severus and the Scottish Invasion Julianus was born in Mediolanum (modern-day Milan) into a distinguished family. Despite his administrative skills and early career success, including military command and governorships in Dalmatia and Germania Inferior, his ambition led him to the dubious purchase of the Roman throne. This act, perceived as a betrayal by the people and Senate, garnered him widespread disdain. Read moreSection: NewsVideosHistoryFamous PeopleRead Later
