U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, looking to be on the verge of tears, doesn’t even mention it, except to say he wasn’t aware of any murder plot, and is only concerned with getting Israel to agree to a ceasefire ASAP.

The corrupt FDA approved a bird flu vaccine for emergency use in people. Nobody is sick or dying from bird flu, but they approved it anyway.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took credit for the assassination of a top Hezbollah advisor during a press conference on Wednesday. Netanyahu said Israel faces “challenging days ahead” but will “charge a very heavy price for any aggression from any arena.” On Tuesday, an Israeli air strike successfully targeted Fuad Shukr, also known as Hajj Mohsin. Israel launched the strike after 12 Druze children were killed by a Hezbollah missile in the northern Israel town of Majdal Shams. Around 40 additional people were wounded. Netanyahu did not directly take credit for the Wednesday assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, but did state that Israel delivered “crushing blows” on three Iranian proxies: Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah. Netanyahu’s office reportedly declined to comment on their role in Haniyeh’s demise. Israel often does not comment on targeted killings. He did comment on the recent strike of Yemen’s Hodeida port after the Houthis sent a suicide drone to Tel Aviv. Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, vowed to have revenge and inflict “severe punishment” for the Hamas leader being killed in Iran. Netanyahu said “threats are being sounded from everywhere” following the assassination of Shukr but said the Jewish state is “ready for every scenario” and “will stay united and determined against every threat.” “We settled our score with [Hajj] Mohsin,” Netanyahu said “and we will settle our score with anyone who harms us. Everyone who takes aim at our children, everyone who murders our citizens, everyone who harms our country—their blood is on their own head.” He also pointed out that Shukr played a central role in the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine Corps Barracks in Beirut, which killed 241 U.S. military personnel. The U.S. government has offered a  $5,000,000 reward for anyone who provides information on him. Netanyahu added that he will not give into domestic and foreign pressure to end the war because “all of the achievements in recent months were attained because we did not give in.”  “Together we will fight, and with God’s help, together we will win,” he concluded. The Biden-Harris administration has reportedly sought to restrain Israel’s response to prevent further escalating the ongoing conflict between the Jewish state and Hezbollah. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the United States government does not want to see the conflict “escalate” or spread.” Hezbollah has attacked Israel with missiles or drones nearly every day since October 7. Israel has responded by striking Hezbollah military infrastructure, commanders, and launch sites. About 80,000 Israelis have been evacuated from their homes in northern Israel since the hostilities began

Attorney General Merrick Garland rebuffed a federal judge’s decision this month to dismiss the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump led by special counsel Jack Smith. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon of Florida agreed with defense attorneys who argued Smith’s appointment as special counsel by Garland in late 2022 was unconstitutional because it did not involve congressional approval. “For more than 20 years I was a federal judge. Do I look like someone who would make that basic mistake about the law? I don’t think so,” Garland said during an interview with NBC News that aired on Tuesday. In an exclusive interview with @kendilanianNBC, Attorney General Merrick Garland took issue with Judge Aileen Cannon’s dismissal of the classified documents case against Former President Trump. pic.twitter.com/SckDMfFwzR — NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt (@NBCNightlyNews) July 30, 2024 Smith has already moved to appeal the ruling. The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, located in Atlanta, has set an August 27 deadline for the special counsel to file an opening briefing. “Our position is that it’s constitutional and valid. That’s why we appealed,” Garland said. “I will say that this is the same process of appointing special counsel as was followed in the previous administration.” He mentioned special counsels John Durham and Robert Mueller as examples and emphasized the trend stretches back further “over the decades going back to Watergate and the special prosecutor in that case” in the 1970s. “Til now every single court, including the Supreme Court, that has considered the legality of a special counsel appointment has upheld it,” Garland said. Cannon, who was nominated to her position by Trump, said that she was dismissing the case because Smith’s appointment violated the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Cannon wrote that the clause “is a critical constitutional restriction stemming from the separation of powers, and it gives Congress a considered role in determining the propriety of vesting appointment power for inferior officers.” She added, “The Special Counsel’s position effectively usurps that important legislative authority, transferring it to a Head of Department, and in the process threatening the structural liberty inherent in the separation of powers.” Trump, who is running another campaign for the presidency while facing multiple criminal matters, had pleaded not guilty to dozens of charges related to willful retention of classified documents and obstruction. The former president responded to Cannon’s ruling by saying on Truth Social, “This dismissal of the Lawless Indictment in Florida should be just the first step, followed quickly by the dismissal of ALL the Witch Hunts.” Trump has contended with three other prosecutions while on the 2024 campaign trail, including a 2020 election case led by Smith in Washington, D.C. He is seeking to overturn the conviction in a New York hush-money case.

Vice President Kamala Harris underwent an obvious vocal metamorphosis over the course of just a few days, taking a very different tone when she addressed a rally crowd in Atlanta, Georgia, than she had when speaking to the drag queens on “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” When speaking with the drag queens in Los Angeles on the day she officially kicked off her presidential campaign, Harris’ tone was crisp and clear — but by the time she took the stage at her Atlanta rally on Tuesday, the de facto Democratic nominee had adopted a slow drawl. Conservative communications pro Greg Price shared side-by-side videos that showed just how dramatic the change had been, adding the caption, “Here is Kamala Harris, who was born in California to Jamaican and Indian college professors, talking to drag queens in Los Angeles a week ago vs. black people in Atlanta tonight. Fakest human being that has ever lived.” WATCH (sound on): Here is Kamala Harris, who was born in California to Jamaican and Indian college professors, talking to drag queens in Los Angeles a week ago vs. black people in Atlanta tonight.

After a foreign correspondent for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation lamented the assassination of terrorist Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who led political operations for the terrorist group, and publicly celebrated the October 7 massacre of more than 1200 people in Israel, Canadian Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre called for defunding the broadcasting company. Correspondent Chris Brown, whose anti-Israel bias seems apparent in his social media posts, posted on X, “If you are serious about negotiating a ceasefire, killing the guy on the other side who is negotiating it seems … like a deliberate effort to make sure it doesn’t happen.” If you are serious about negotiating a ceasefire, killing the guy on the other side who is negotiating it seems … like a deliberate effort to make sure it doesn’t happen. https://t.co/DME8MUzuaV — Chris Brown (@CBCChrisBrown) July 31, 2024   Poilievre fired back, “CBC is mourning the loss of the leader of Hamas, who carried out the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Destroy Hamas. Defund the CBC.” Haniyeh, who headed Hamas’ Politburo since 2017, spoke at a conference of the International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS) in Doha, Qatar, three months after the October 7 massacre. He declared, “We should hold on to the victory that took place on October 7 and build upon it … the time has come for the Jihad of the swords,” the Middle East Media Research Institute reported. “In 2012, when asked by Reuters reporters if Hamas had abandoned the armed struggle, Haniyeh replied of course not and said resistance would continue ‘in all forms – popular resistance, political, diplomatic and military resistance,’” The Hindu reported. After the October 7 massacre, Poilievre released a statement saying, “I unequivocally condemn the invasion of Israel by Hamas terrorists and the sadistic violence they have subsequently carried out against innocent civilians. Israel has the right to defend itself against these attacks and respond against the attackers. Canadians pledge their solidarity with all the victims.” On October 11, he stated bluntly, “Let us remember that every loss of life in this conflict is the direct consequence of Hamas’s conduct. Hamas is a sadistic, genocidal, terrorist death cult and it must be stopped. … So Conservatives call for the government to take action to counter Hamas any way we can.” “One way would be to impose more severe sanctions on Iran, which is the sponsor of Hamas, and to criminalize the IRGC, which is the terrorist arm of the Iranian government that coordinates support for Hamas and Hezbollah,” he added.

Whoopi Goldberg claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris — now the Democratic Party’s de facto 2024 nominee — was never the Border Czar, and in the same breath claimed that Republicans were the ones who didn’t “like facts.” Goldberg repeated the current media narrative around Harris and the southern border, insisting that despite multiple reports at the time saying she’d been put in charge of the border — and even referring to her as the Border Czar — she had never actually been put in charge of the border. WATCH: Declaring the GOP “don’t like facts,” Whoopi Goldberg reads from note card of Democratic Party talking points falsely proclaiming: “Kamala Harris was never the border czar, never. Her job was to deal and find out the root causes of migration from Central America.” pic.twitter.com/ApYE8PwCSx — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) July 31, 2024 “Let’s get some factual information,” Goldberg began. “Kamala Harris was never the border czar, never. Her job was to deal and find out the root causes of migration from Central America. That was what Biden asked her to do, to lead diplomatic efforts to reduce poverty, violence, corruption in the northern triangle — Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.” “Now, if y’all ain’t sure about this, ask Joe Biden,” Goldberg continued. “He gave her the job. She made sure that she went to all these countries to see what was going on; that was the job she was asked to do and that’s what she did.” Goldberg left out the fact that despite any efforts Harris may have made to find the “root causes” of migration — and thus stem the tide that has overwhelmed the border almost since the day President Joe Biden took office — the illegal immigration numbers have only gotten worse since she was tapped to handle the situation. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP And while Goldberg is correct in stating that Biden did not officially name Harris the Border Czar, the White House made no effort to correct the dozens of media outlets that referred to her using that term. In fact, it was not until President Joe Biden’s abrupt exit from the 2024 presidential race — and Harris’ elevation to de facto nominee — that the vice president and her media surrogates began their concerted efforts to separate her from any responsibility she may have had at the border.
