Kamala Harris cackles when asked about being the “most liberal Senator.”

GovTrack, which purports to track “the U.S. Congress to make our government more open and accessible,” has apparently ‘disappeared’ Kamala Harris’s 2019 page, which ranked her as the most liberal senator out of 100.

Archives, however, are forever.

The now-missing page shows data from Harris’s time in the Senate and compared to other senators. The analysis shows in 2019, Harris was the least likely to cosign on bipartisan legislation, missed 61.9% of votes, held the fewest committee positions, and ranked second from last in getting sponsored bills out of committee.

The organization claims the erasure is due to a change in how they report information and directs users to a new watered-down page that makes finding her liberal ranking more difficult.

WSBT reports:

GovTrack founder Joshua Tauberer told TND the link is based on statistics from a single congressional session, which site owners decided to discontinue after determining this data “not sufficient to create a reliable portrait of the activity of legislators.”

“One of GovTrack.us’s foundational principles it to enable the American public to make data driven decisions based on the best information we can provide,” Tauberer said. “The page that you are referring to was based on a single calendar year. Several years ago we discontinued creating new single-calendar-year ‘report cards’”

Tauberer pointed readers to their 2020 report card, which named Harris the second-most liberal senator behind Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Kamala was asked about the ranking by CBS.

CBS: “You’re considered the most liberal United States senator.”

KAMALA: “I— somebody said that, and it was actually Mike Pence on the debate stage…”

CBS: “Actually, nonpartisan GovTrack has rated you as the most liberal senator.”

The move from GovTrack comes on the heels of increased attempts by the media to rewrite Harris’s disastrous record.

The Gateway Pundit reported that an Axios writer tried to claim that Harris was never named ‘Border Czar.’

Thomas Crooks

Who believes this?

Trump would-be assassin Thomas Crooks made three explosives with remote detonation capability in 7 days between the announcement of the Butler, Pennsylvania rally and the day of the event.

Police found a cell phone and a bomb detonator next to Thomas Matthew Crooks after a Secret Service sniper fatally shot him on a rooftop outside of Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania rally.

According to CNN, investigators found no online search history of Crooks researching how to assemble homemade explosives.

“It’s unclear how Crooks assembled the explosive devices found in his car. Investigators parsing through his online search history haven’t found any indication of him researching how to make home-made explosives, law enforcement officials said.” – CNN reported.

FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday and told lawmakers that the explosives found in Crooks’ vehicle and home were “crude.”

Wray told Jim Jordan two explosive devices were found in Crooks’ vehicle and one in his home.

Crooks searched Trump and the Butler rally on July 6 – just seven days before the event.

“The FBI, which is investigating the shooting as a potential act of domestic terrorism, does not yet have “a clear picture” of the gunman’s motive, Wray said. But investigators did find that Crooks seemed to become “very focused on” Trump and the rally on July 6. An examination of his laptop revealed that he searched “how far away was Oswald from Kennedy?” on that day, when he also registered to attend the rally.” – CBS News reported.

We’re expected to believe he came up with an assassination plot in 7 days?

According to the official narrative, Crooks did the following all by himself without an insider’s help:

Flew a drone over the Pennsylvania fairgrounds and got aerial footage of the rally layout on the day of the event – including 2 hours before Trump took the stage.
Got a range finder through security.
Evaded law enforcement officers from several different state, local and federal agencies.
Somehow ‘climbed’ up on a roof with his rifle 450 away from Trump, bear crawled to the perfect vantage point as bystanders alerted police and was still able to take 8 shots at Trump.
Parked a vehicle full of explosives near the Trump rally – even though there is no online search history of Crooks researching how to make at-home explosives.
Crooks was able to walk around the premises after Snipers took a photo of him looking suspicious.
A sniper located in the second story window was only 40 feet away from Crooks and didn’t neutralize him.
Trump was still able to take the stage after Crooks was pegged as suspicious by Secret Service.

Who visited Thomas Crooks’ home before he attempted to assassinate President Trump?

Mobile ad data analysis reveals someone who regularly visited Crooks’ Pennsylvania home also visited a building in DC near an FBI office.

The Oversight Project identified nine devices linked to AD-IDs that were located at Crooks’ home and work within the last year.

Someone who regularly visited Crooks home and work also visited a building in Washington, DC located in Gallery Place.

“This is in the same vicinity of an FBI office on June 26, 2023,” the Oversight Project said.

Who’s device is this?

American Federation of Teachers convention boss Randi Weingarten begged attendees at the organization’s 2024 convention not to protest Kamala Harris’s appearance before the group on Thursday.

Weingarten told the crowd, “I’m asking all of us to honor the rules that they have asked us to honor…I’m asking all of us to use our moral obligation to each other to not protest inside the hall…this is the first female African-American AAPI candidate for the presidency of the United States!”

Weingarten’s remarks come after her unhinged screed on Monday, replete with shouting, fist waving, and vitriol, where screamed that President Trump is an “existential threat to democracy and freedom” days after a failed assassination attempt against him.

While Harris praised Weingarten, calling her a “force,” she stayed mum on Weingarten’s efforts to prolong damaging school closures that negatively impacted millions of students.

The Gateway Pundit reported that CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings, a father of four, shared the devastating impact her actions had on America’s children.

Jennings told Weingarten during a panel, “Speaking on behalf of millions of American parents….I had to teach them at home. My wife had to teach them at home. I am stunned at what you have said this week about your claiming to have wanted to reopen schools.”

“I think you’ll find that most parents believe you are the tip of the spear of school closures. There are numerous statements you made over the summer of ’20 scaring people to death about the possibility of opening schools. And I hear no remorse whatsoever about the generational damage that’s been done to these kids.”

U.S. and Canadian fighter jets intercepted Russian and Chinese military aircraft off the coast of Alaska on Wednesday.

A news release from the North American Aerospace Defense Command — which is made up of American and Canadian forces — detailed how NORAD first identified the targets, then tracked and later intercepted them.

The Russian and Chinese aircraft were two Russian TU-95 bombers and two Chinese H-6 bombers, according to the release.

As noted by Fox News journalist Lucas Tomlinson, the incident took place just before President Joe Biden addressed the nation on Wednesday.

Ahead of Biden’s Oval Office address, NORAD says it scrambled fighter jets to intercept two Russian Tu-95 “Bear” bombers and two Chinese H-6 bombers off the coast of Alaska.

The four foreign aircraft had entered the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone and were conducting operations there, according to the news release.

The Air Defense Identification Zone is international airspace. However, aircraft entering it are required to identify themselves with NORAD.

NORAD confirmed the foreign jets did not pose a threat and did not enter U.S. or Canadian airspace.

Nevertheless, NORAD is continuing to monitor the situation and will continue to “meet presence with presence,” according to the news release.

— North American Aerospace Defense Command (@NORADCommand) July 24, 2024

“NORAD is a unique bi-national command between the United States and Canada. NORAD employs a layered defense network of satellites, ground-based and airborne radars and fighter aircraft in seamless interoperability to detect and track aircraft and inform appropriate actions,” the news released states.

“NORAD remains ready to employ a number of response options in defense of North America.”

This is not the first time NORAD has confronted Russian movement in the Alaskan ADIZ.

In May, a NORAD news release confirmed Russian aircraft had entered the zone.

“This Russian activity in the Alaska ADIZ occurs regularly and is not seen as a threat,” that release stated.

However, CNN reported that the participation of Chinese air power in such operations “appears to be a new development.”

In March, according to CNN, Air Force Gen. Gregory Guillot warned at a Senate hearing that Chinese military activity in the Arctic might be seen “as soon as this year potentially.”

“We have seen them in the maritime,” he said at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, according to CNN. “We have seen them under the cloud of a technical or scientific research, but we think it is certainly multi-mission, to include military. And then I expect to see air activity in the Alaska part of the Arctic as soon as this year, potentially.”

Drag Queen Minima Geste holds the Olympic flame./Image: minima_geste/Instagram.

A time-honored tradition in the leadup to the Olympic opening ceremony is the passing of the Olympic flame, starting in Greece, to thousands of torchbearers until it arrives at the host city.

This year,  three drag queens, Minima Geste, Nicky Doll, and Miss Martini, were among the 10,000 torchbearers passing the flame until it reaches its destination in Paris.

Geste shared on Instagram, translated by Google,  “Wow, 9 months after receiving this DM asking me to carry the flame, it’s done, this Sunday July 14th.”

“I realized this unique and phenomenal opportunity, and the positive image sent back (when we see the outcry that there was when I was announced) It’s recognition of my actions for years now and damn I look SO pretty in this uniform.”

“Obviously, I regret that after months of hatred on social networks and in the media, I was not allowed to do this in public, with my loved ones and especially with the community who came to support me and live that with me. Thank you to everyone who came and everyone who followed me on the live broadcast.”

Here’s a paradoxical question for you: How can you be both a virtually protected class with an entire month dedicated to you and also be perpetual victims?

Answer: You can’t, at least not without being intellectually dishonest hypocrites.

Speaking of those, the U.S. women’s national soccer team is back in the headlines with the Summer Olympics right around the corner — and, yes, the team is still as insufferably leftist as it’s ever been.

In fact, the addition of Christian soccer star Korbin Albert to the national team has only made that victim complex worse.

Much worse.

Albert’s presence on the team is apparently such an affront that one of her fellow teammates felt compelled to throw her under the bus on the Tuesday episode of the “Good Game” podcast, ironically titled “Leading with Love.”

“One of the newer players has been getting different reactions from the fans than the majority of the team,” host Sarah Spain began in a not-at-all loaded intro. “And that’s Korbin Albert. This is a real sticky, tough situation.

“I’m just wondering how you personally are dealing with both the public reaction to Korbin and sort of the internal response about her.”

“Yeah, I mean, I think it’s a difficult situation that has obviously affected me personally given what she was speaking on,” U.S. center back Tierna Davidson responded.

Davidson is a lesbian.

Albert had ruffled feathers for the high crime of sharing her beliefs.

The 20-year-old caused a stir in March when she “liked” and shared content on social media that specifically called out the immoral nature of homosexuality and “feeling transgender.”

She was forced to apologize for daring to believe in true, core tenets of Christianity — particularly after some forceful backlash from unbearable U.S. women’s soccer “icon” Megan Rapinoe.

One would think that would be enough, but leave it to Davidson to take on an astonishingly patronizing tone on the podcast despite being just five years older than Albert.

“I think that it is something that you have to learn, as a young player, especially with the platform that you’re given,” she continued, before offering a word salad criticism of Christianity that would make Vice President Kamala Harris blush.

“Your beliefs or, you know, how you choose to express certain things is very public, and people do look and listen,” Davidson said. “And, you know, whether or not it’s something that you grew up with or it was instilled upon you from a young age and you might not know better, it is something that can hurt other people, you know?”

This part of the interview starts around the 25:50 mark below:

Funnily enough, if you can parse through Davidson’s drivel, you can almost make out the same criticism many have of the LGBT mafia: “… it’s something that you grew up with or it was instilled upon you from a young age …”

Unsurprisingly, Davidson spent the rest of the podcast playing the victim and claiming efforts by her and her teammates to make the USWNT as gay-friendly as possible were being undermined because of one young Christian woman who isn’t even old enough to drink yet.

The mental gymnastics at display here are insane: Albert is the young woman being bullied for her beliefs, and she is the one being subjected to effective “conversion therapy” through all of this (forced) leftist indoctrination.

Yet Davidson — who is overwhelmingly supported by loud leftists and her team, by the way — is the victim here?

The only way you can reach that conclusion is with intellectual dishonesty and unabashed hypocrisy, which are sadly becoming hallmarks of the U.S. women’s national soccer team.

Joe Gamaldi, the national vice president of the Fraternal Order of Police and an active Houston Police Department lieutenant, presented a chilling image of what will happen to the safety of Americans if Kamala Harris is elected president.

Gamaldi told Fox News, “Let’s be clear about something: If Kamala Harris becomes the next president of the United States, she will be an unmitigated disaster for public safety in this country.”

“She has loudly and proudly supported bail reform and has even donated and encouraged other people to donate to a fund that helped get murderers, rapists, people who were shooting people in the streets, out on bail,” he said.

“We’re not talking about helping bail out the mom who stole a candy bar from the store to help feed her kids; we’re talking about violent criminals.”

Joseph Imperatrice, an NYPD detective and founder of Blue Lives Matter NYC, underscored Gamaldi’s concerns.

From Fox News:

“America needs a leader that’s going to keep bad guys behind bars, and unfortunately, Kamala Harris hasn’t done that,” he said. “It was proven during the riots by intentionally bailing out the bad guys.”

“This isn’t a Democrat or Republican issue, this is a humanitarian issue,” Imperatrice said. “This is an accountability issue.”

During her tenure as Attorney General of California, Kamala Harris kept hundreds of black men in prison past their release date so she could use these men for $2 a day for cheap California state labor.

Harris also promoted the Minnesota Bail Fund after the George Floyd riots in 2020, which is responsible for bailing out murderers and rapists.

At least two of the murderers that Kamala Harris helped bail out of prison went on to murder again.

After the Democrat ‘palace coup’ has taken feeble Joe Biden out of the Presidential race and ushered his Vice President Kamala Harris as the presumptive candidate, a whole new dynamic has emerged, and the newest polls show just how much of an uphill battle Harris has to face in terms of her own personal credibility.

While she is indeed showing signs of momentum as she enters the fray, the Democrat machine so far has not proven to be a substitute for a strong personality, likeability and credibility.

Support by Dem chieftains hasn’t translated to faith among the general public that Harris can win.

New York Post reported:

“In a poll of 1,605 people (1,435 of whom are registered voters) YouGov conducted between July 21 and 23 — a period that encompasses Biden’s announcement not to run and the quick coalescence of Democratic elites around Harris — only 31% think the vice president has what it takes to earn a promotion this year.”

The lack of confidence in Harris affects both men and women.

In the meantime, 52% of respondents see Trump as the likely winner.

Naturally, Democrats give Harris her best metric, with 67% of people in her own party saying the veep will win – but as much as 14% predict a Trump victory and the rest are unsure.

Trump is looking strong in the YouGov poll.

Republicans, on the other hand, are much more convinced of Trump’s chances.

“Just 3% of Republicans surveyed expect Harris to win, while 91% think the race in November is Trump’s to lose.

Independents also seem to think Trump is inevitable, with 53% of unaligned voters believing he’ll emerge victorious, versus just 23% of indys who believe Harris will win.”

Harris lead among black voters with 45%- but Trump takes up a considerable third of the respondents.

One important distinction to make is that the numbers of people actually supporting each candidate are much closer.

“When asked about “presidential vote intent,” 41% of those polled back Harris — putting her just 3 points behind Trump [with 44%], well inside the +/- 3.3% margin of error and tracking with polls from NPR and Marist that likewise show a race that is too close to call.”

President Trump has consolidated Republican vote in this survey, taking 92% of them, while Harris only has 86% support level in her own party.

“Independents are still up for grabs, but YouGov’s sample says Trump holds serve — taking 37% of them to Harris’ 32%. Of the remainder, 11% support Kennedy and 9% are still undecided.”

Nick Searcy, producer and a star of the documentary film “The War on Truth” about the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol incursion, believes that much of what happened that day was a pre-planned operation.

“The War on Truth” is the sequel to the 2021 documentary film “Capitol Punishment.”

“It was absolutely pre-planned,” Searcy told The Western Journal in a recent interview regarding the incursion.

“The reason why, you know, people are still mystified. Why were the police on one side of the building trying to keep people out and on the other side, you are inviting people in? They wanted people inside the building because what was going on inside that building was exactly what the people who went to Washington on Jan. 6 wanted to happen.”

He noted that Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas had stood up along with GOP House members during the counting of the Electoral College voter to challenge the integrity of the results in Arizona. Other senators and House lawmakers planned to do the same thing for other key swing states, like Pennsylvania.

“They were challenging the vote. They were trying to send it back to the states for ten days to verify the count,” Searcy said. “That was exactly what everybody that was there [protesting] wanted except for the Democrats in power.”

As soon as people were reported in the building, the process stopped, and when the lawmakers reconvened later in the day, the argument that prevailed was, “It’s too dangerous. We can’t continue with this process. We’ve got to go ahead and certify Joe Biden as our president right now,” Searcy contended.

He concluded, “So everything that was done that day did not benefit the Jan. 6 protesters or the Republican side at all. Everything that was done that day benefited the deep state, benefited Joe Biden and the people who wanted him to be president.”

“The War on Truth” director Chris Burgard agreed.

“I’m a movie director, so I was there that day, and what we were watching was a movie. You would see people walking in doors being escorted in by the Capitol Police, and then you’d see a fight over window just 20 yards away. It made no sense,” he told The Western Journal.

Burgard, like Searcy, argued it “was designed and worked brilliantly to stop any of the investigation of the contested votes, ballots in the swing states.”

He pointed to the assessments of two experts appearing in the documentary, former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency Gen. (Ret.) Michael Flynn and retired military intelligence Col. (Ret.) Carol Stewart.

They “tell you in the movie, this is an operation. This is pre-scripted. You’re watching a movie,” Burgard said.

Another person appearing in the “The War on Truth” said, “Every military guy, I know, every three-letter [federal agency] guy I know that was at Jan. 6 — we all saw the same things happening. We all knew that this was an operation.”

The documentary includes footage of a red signal flare going up over the Jan. 6 protest at 2:43 p.m.

Then soon thereafter someone pops a yellow smoke grenade, and “1 minute later Ray Epps and others push a Trump sign into police,” as footage shows.

Epps was an Arizona resident, who some accused of being an FBI informant because he was caught on camera urging people to “go in the Capitol.” Epps and the FBI denied he was working for them. He was later charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct and given probation.

A red smoke grenade then goes off, and Epps, escorted by eight others, leaves the front lines of protest, moving away from the Capitol, according to the film.

Independent journalist Steve Baker, appearing in the documentary, recounted that a Special Forces individual told him that the red flare was an “avalanche” signal meaning time to “get out.”

“That was planned and coordinated,” Baker said.

“The War on Truth” also includes an exchange GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky had with Attorney General Merrick Garland during a congressional hearing in September 2023, during which the AG would neither confirm nor deny the FBI had assets among the Jan. 6 protesters.

“The American public isn’t buying it.”

For three years the federal government has waged a war on truth. Now the truth fights back.

Similarly, in January 2022, Cruz questioned then-FBI Assistant Executive Director Jill Sanborn during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about the role the bureau may have played in the Capitol incursion.

“How many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of Jan. 6?” Cruz asked.

“Sir, I’m sure you can appreciate that I can’t go into the specifics of sources and methods,” Sanborn answered.

Cruz then asked a broader question: “Did any FBI agents or confidential informants actively participate in the events of Jan. 6? Yes or no?”

“Sir, I can’t answer that,” Sanborn replied.

In today’s world, warfare is becoming more and more a matter of technological solutions, with drones, electronic warfare, AI and now – laser beams.

This new weapon, long featured in sci-fi stories, is about to become a fixture of future military confrontations.

The British Ministry of Defense announced that it test-fired a laser beam weapon that can track and take down multiple targets for a very low cost – just $0.12 a shot.

The laser energy weapon was mounted on an armored vehicle, and was able to neutralize multiple targets more than  half a mile away.

Business Insider reported:

“It described the trial as a “ground-breaking” test conducted for the first time from a land vehicle in England, and said it gave the UK military a greater tactical advantage in combat.

This technology offers a precise, powerful, and cost-effective means to defeat aerial threats, ensuring greater protection for our forces,” said Matt Cork, program lead of the UK’s Defense and Science Technology Laboratory, or dstl.”

The new technology was developed by Raytheon UK, along with Frazer-Nash, NP Aerospace, LumOptica, Blighter Surveillance Systems, and Cambridge Pixel.

The system was reportedly designed to integrate with air-defense systems and other platforms, and is capable of defeating NATO class 1 drones.

“‘We now look forward to the British Army experimenting with the weapon over the coming months and proving that the technology is battlefield-ready’, James Gray, chief executive and managing director of Raytheon UK, said.”

From the Ukraine war to the Houthis in Yemen, in every battlefield, drones have become one of the deadliest weapons available, with low cost compared to the heavy equipment they can destroy.

“Ukraine, Russia, Israel, and other countries have responded to the growing threat from drones by developing anti-drone technology to intercept them, mostly through jamming and in the form of directed-energy weapons.

The UK MOD said in May that it is also developing a radio frequency-directed energy weapon, which uses radio waves to detect, track, and disable electronic components at a range of up to 1000 meters.”

The US, France, China, Germany, Russia, India, and Israel, are also racing to develop their own directed-energy weapons.

Trials of a new laser fitted to a @BritishArmy Wolfhound have been completed by @dstlmod, @DefenceES and industry partners.

The laser can neutralise targets at distances in excess of 1km for only 10p a shot, less than a cup of tea.
