The Republican National Committee is hyping its upcoming convention in Milwaukee, at which former President Donald Trump is expected to be officially nominated as the 2024 Republican presidential candidate. The start of the convention is 10 days away, scheduled to begin on July 15 and last through July 18. The RNC prepared a short video hyping the three-day event that was first obtained by The Daily Wire. The video is about 15 seconds long and is narrated by Republican Rep. Bryan Steil of Wisconsin. It features scenic video of Milwaukee, images of preparations taking place at the convention center, footage from Trump’s campaign, along with other images. “Our nation’s at a crossroad and in July, Wisconsin will be in the driver’s seat. See you in Milwaukee,” Steil says as the shots flash by. The convention is expected to attract 50,000 delegates, officials, and other guests. Roughly 10,000 hotel rooms have been booked in Wisconsin to accommodate the attendees. According to one estimate, the event’s economic impact is expected to be around $200 million for the state of Wisconsin. Wisconsin is shaping up to be a key battleground state in the 2024 presidential race. Trump currently has a slight edge over President Joe Biden, whose campaign has struggled to overcome a wave of opposition from Democrats after his feeble debate performance last week. Trump is running two points ahead of Biden in the Real Clear Politics polling average for Wisconsin. The latest poll, conducted by Remington Research after last week’s debate, showed Trump leading Biden in the state by 6 points. Trump is expected to name his vice presidential choice either just ahead of the convention or during it. He has teased his pick for weeks leading up to the event. The reported finalists for the spot include North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and Sen. JD Vance of Ohio. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida is also reportedly in contention, though his position is complicated by laws surrounding the residency of the president and vice president. Rubio would have to establish his residence outside of the state of Florida. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina and Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas have also been mentioned.

The re-election campaign for President Joe Biden on Friday announced a $50 million “paid media blitz” in battleground states emphasizing high-profile events like the Olympic Games and the Republican National Convention.  The spending spree comes as Biden has faced pressure to drop out of the presidential race over his physical and mental condition after a shaky debate performance against former President Donald Trump. The GOP convention takes place July 15-18 in Milwaukee. The Summer Olympic Games begin on July 26. “The Olympics, which are popular among every demographic and increasingly popular among Gen Z, will be a critical moment for Team Biden-Harris to reach a wide swath of the voters this campaign needs to win in November,” the campaign said. “Team Biden-Harris will also leverage other key moments this month, including the Republican National Convention, where Trump and his extremist agenda will be under a national spotlight.” The radio, digital, and TV ads will target audiences in the key battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. In recent months, Biden has largely fallen behind Trump in polling from these states.  The campaign said the spots would focus on “a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions, economic relief and opportunities for middle- and working-class families, and the threat Donald Trump poses to our democracy and the rule of law.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Last month, two Left-wing organizations launched a $50 million ad campaign for Biden touting his “Inflation Reduction Act” in the same battleground states. The legislation, signed in August 2022,  allocated billions in taxpayer-funded subsidies for green energy companies.  The campaign, organized by Climate Power and Future Forward USA Action, took aim at oil companies for high gas prices and said that the Inflation Reduction Act “reduces pollution,” “lowers the cost of healthcare,” and has created “new, good paying clean energy jobs in solar and wind” and reduced dependence on “foreign oil.” Biden has held a massive fundraising advantage over Trump, but the former president has gained ground in recent weeks with money pouring in after his conviction in his New York hush-money trial.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled on Friday that ballot drop boxes can be used for the 2024 presidential election, overturning a previous decision from the court saying the boxes were illegal after widespread use during the 2020 election.  In a 4-3 decision, the liberals on the court said that Wisconsin law allowed for the use of ballot drop boxes for absentee voting and that city election clerks were free to use them to administer elections. The ruling was celebrated by Democrats but decried by Republicans.  “Our decision today does not force or require that any municipal clerks use drop boxes. It merely acknowledges what [state law] has always meant: that clerks may lawfully utilize secure drop boxes in an exercise of their statutorily-conferred discretion,” Justice Ann Walsh Bradley wrote. Friday’s decision overrules a July 2022 4-3 decision by a conservative majority banning the use of unmanned ballot drop boxes. Democrats again challenged the prohibition on ballot drop boxes after liberal Judge Janet Protasiewicz defeated a conservative candidate in a Supreme Court election last year.  The court’s conservatives strongly disagreed with the majority’s decision, arguing it was politically motivated and would be used to further weaken election integrity.  “The majority again forsakes the rule of law in an attempt to advance its political agenda,” wrote Justice Rebecca Bradley. “The majority ends the term by loosening the legislature’s regulations governing the privilege of absentee voting in the hopes of tipping the scales in future elections.” She added that the majority decision would “legitimize any method of getting absentee ballots to a municipal clerk that the clerk may choose.” “An unattended cardboard box on the clerk’s driveway? An unsecured sack sitting outside the local library or on a college campus? Door-to-door retrieval from voters’ homes or dorm rooms? Under the majority’s logic, because the statute doesn’t expressly forbid such methods of ballot delivery, they are perfectly lawful,” she wrote.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Democrat Governor Tony Evers celebrated the ruling, calling it a “victory for democracy” and said he would “keep fighting to ensure that every eligible voter can cast their ballot safely, securely, and as easily as possible to make sure their voices are heard.” Wisconsin GOP Chair Brian Schimming expressed disappointment with the ruling. “In a setback for both the separation of powers and public trust in our elections, the left-wing justices on the Supreme Court of Wisconsin have obeyed the demands of their out-of-state donors at the expense of Wisconsin,” he said. “This latest attempt by leftist justices to placate their far-left backers will not go unanswered by voters.” Wisconsin is expected to be one of the key states that determine the 2024 presidential election.

Eddie Murphy and Tom Cruise have more in common than you think. Both became superstars in the 1980s and haven’t left the A-list since. Each is in his early 60s (Cruise is 62, Murphy is 63) but looks much younger. They also resurrected their classic ‘80s films for a new audience with grand results. Murphy’s “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” isn’t the revelation that Cruise’s 2022 smash “Top Gun: Maverick” proved. Plus, the former debuted on Netflix, not in theaters nationwide. Still, both films brought back that Reagan-era feeling while telling stories worth a fresh look. Neither apologizes for the past. Instead, they celebrate it. Photo by Melinda Sue Gordon/Netflix. Copyright 2024. Netflix, Inc. It’s been 30 years since Axel Foley walked the beat. “Beverly Hills Cop 3” unofficially ended the franchise and good riddance. The formula was played out by then, and Murphy’s outsized talents deserved better. Murphy wouldn’t let the character go, even mulling a TV incarnation with a younger star taking the reins as Axel’s son (Murphy would appear in the first episode and potentially pop up now and again). He finally re-teamed with his old producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, for “Axel F.” Except we’ve been here before. The 2021 Prime Video original “Coming 2 America” followed up on the actor’s other ‘80s comedy smash. The sequel packed little of “Coming to America’s” magic, swapping woke bromides for Murphy-sized guffaws. Hard pass. So a new “Beverly Hills Cop” project aroused more than just suspicion. Try desperation. “Maverick” proved you can‘t ground a talent like Cruise. The same holds true for Murphy who knows Axel remains his signature role. Screenwriters Will Beall, Tom Gormican and Kevin Etten concocted an excuse to lure Axel back to Beverly Hills where the cop is no longer a fish-out-of-water. His grown daughter Jane (Taylour Paige, excellent) is in trouble. She’s defending a young Latino man charged with killing a cop, but she suspects he’s innocent That reveals another round of “Dirty Cop 101” along with an unctuous detective played by Kevin Bacon. Photo by Melinda Sue Gordon/Netflix. Copyright 2024. Netflix, Inc. Why does “Axel F” follow in the grand “Maverick” tradition? For starters, neither bows to the woke mob. “Maverick” played it straight down the middle, avoiding the culture wars entirely. “Axel F” acknowledges the story exists in 2024 but it plays out sans lectures or gags that take you out of the moment. When Axel teases a white cop on a racially-charged gag, his smile tells us he isn’t serious. It’s all in good fun. Even Joseph Gordon Levitt’s character, a more sensitive cop for our times who briefly tells Axel his style no longer plays in today’s culture, learns that old-school approach gets results. Both films understand why we cared about the main characters in the first place. Maverick may not play by the rules, but his spine is stiff and his moral compass points true north. Axel can talk his way out of any jam, and his police improvisations would make MacGyver blush. It’s all about collaring the bad guys. Neither “Maverick” nor “Axel F” deify our heroes. Cruise’s Maverick remains a hot head, and his romantic stumbles aren’t lost on his new love interest, Penny (Jennifer Connelly). Axel’s estranged relationship with his daughter didn’t happen accidentally. He’s a great cop and a misguided parent. He couldn’t navigate the balance between divorce and catching the bad guys. Jane’s anger at her father appears justified, and “Axel F” isn’t ready to sweep it away for convenience’s sake. He must earn her trust again. “Maverick” and “Axel F” teem with nostalgic throwbacks. The former brings Iceman (Val Kilmer) back for a bittersweet coda, and we see images of the late Goose (Anthony Edwards) to spark our tear ducts. “Axel F” features the boyish Billy (now a 60-something Judge Reinhold), Taggart (John Ashton) and, of course, Serge (Bronson Pinchot). Kayla Oaddams/WireImage We even see glimpses of the previous “Cop” movies via a case files montage. The films also boldly replays the greatest hits from the ‘80s, witness “Danger Zone,” “Neutron Dance” and, of course, “The Heat Is On.” Great pop songs never go out of style. Murphy and Cruise didn’t want to embarrass themselves with these belated sequels. Both are hands-on talent at this point, serving as producers on their requisite films. They likely realized playing to the increasingly small woke audience would not only diminish the films in question but, perhaps, their legacies. Murphy, in particular, may have realized why making “Coming 2 America” woke did him and the film few favors. You don’t stay relevant in Hollywood for four decades without connecting with the American public. These stars instinctively knew we wanted to spend more time with Maverick and Axel again, but not in a way that diminished our memories. We feel the need for nostalgia, and “Maverick” and “Axel F” deliver. * * * Christian Toto is an award-winning journalist, movie critic and editor of HollywoodInToto.com.

In a shocking revelation, an undercover video has surfaced showing illegal aliens admitting to being registered to vote in the United States. The footage, obtained and released by conservative media outlet Tenet Media, provides a disturbing look into the operations at San Antonio's Migrant Resource Center. This center, run by Migrant Support Services in partnership with various non-governmental organizations, reportedly enforces a strict no-recording policy and provides transportation services for illegal immigrants​. The undercover video, shared on social media, shows a field reporter speaking with illegal immigrants who confirm the no-recording policy and express fears of deportation or arrest if they are caught filming. This strict policy raises suspicions about potential illicit activities being concealed within the center​​. https://twitter.com/search?q=illegals%20voting&src=typed_query Additionally, recent reports from South Carolina have further fueled concerns about voter fraud. Governor Henry McMaster has called for a state investigation into allegations that voter registration forms were distributed to non-citizens by state agencies. This investigation was prompted by a social media post from Rep. Adam Morgan, who shared a photo of a voter registration form allegedly given to a refugee by the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS). SCDHHS, while mandated by federal law to provide voter registration information with Medicaid applications, denies any involvement in processing these forms​​. This is inside Logan Airport in Boston. These are illegals. This is insanity. Do you know how stupid you have to be to vote for a democrat at this point? Voting has consequences. You’re paying for this! pic.twitter.com/qQaq3ZMe2n — Chad Prather (@WatchChad) June 10, 2024 Moreover, a video obtained by The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project revealed a nonprofit organization in New York City, La Jornada, illegally distributing residency documents to individuals without proper identification. This operation allows illegal aliens to obtain city ID cards, potentially under false names, through the city’s IDNYC program​. These incidents highlight a growing concern about the integrity of the voter registration process and the potential for illegal immigrants to influence elections. Conservative activists and lawmakers are pushing for stricter enforcement of voter registration laws and more robust verification processes to ensure that only eligible U.S. citizens are registered to vote. The implications of these findings are significant as they suggest systematic flaws that could undermine the electoral process. As investigations continue, there is a renewed call for transparency and accountability to safeguard the sanctity of American elections​.

The U.S.-Mexico border has tragically become a graveyard for countless migrants, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive immigration reform. The harrowing scenes of human remains scattered across the borderlands illustrate the dire consequences of the ongoing border crisis, demanding immediate attention from policymakers. A recent report exposes the grim reality of America's border, where the remains of migrants are frequently discovered. The unforgiving terrain and extreme conditions of the border region have led to an alarming number of deaths. In 2022 alone, the UN Migration Agency recorded at least 686 deaths and disappearances along the border, marking it as the deadliest land migration route in the world.

Migrants, driven by desperation and hope for a better life, often succumb to dehydration, heatstroke, and exhaustion. The discovery of bones and bodies serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of the border crisis. Many of these deaths go unrecorded, suggesting that the true toll is even higher. Local authorities in Texas report being overwhelmed by the crisis. Emergency services are stretched thin, responding to thousands of calls annually. The sheer volume of migrant deaths has created a logistical and humanitarian nightmare. County officials have called for federal assistance to manage the crisis, emphasizing the need for coordinated efforts to prevent further loss of life.

This unprecedented influx has pushed state and federal agencies to their limits, highlighting the urgent need for effective immigration policies and enforcement measures. The Biden administration's handling of the crisis has faced criticism for its perceived leniency, which some argue has exacerbated the situation. Humanitarian organizations have called for safer migration routes and better protection for migrants. However, without robust border security and clear immigration policies, these efforts may fall short. The tragic deaths at the border underscore the need for a balanced approach that addresses both humanitarian concerns and national security. The ongoing border crisis is not just a policy issue but a moral imperative. The sight of human remains in the desert should compel lawmakers to find solutions that prevent further loss of life while securing the nation's borders. It is a complex challenge that requires cooperation across all levels of government and society. In conclusion, the U.S.-Mexico border crisis is a humanitarian disaster that demands urgent and decisive action. The grim scenes of migrant deaths serve as a powerful reminder of the need for comprehensive immigration reform and effective border security. As America grapples with this crisis, it must strive to protect both its borders and the lives of those seeking refuge within them.
