"#VicePresident #JDVance again downplayed the idea that #conservatives should safeguard their ranks against #antisemitism, a week after his ally #TuckerCarlson hosted yet another #antisemitic #conspiracy theorist on his web show.
#Vance’s latest brief comments, made Tuesday during an interview with #conservative #radio host and #CNN #pundit #ScottJennings, came in response to Jennings asking, “Does the conservative movement need to warehouse anybody out there espousing antisemitism in any way?”
“No it doesn’t, Scott,” the vice president replied, toward the end of their interview.
Vance continued by asserting that conservatives, drawing on #Christian influences, were welcoming of all backgrounds."

3 anonymous sources say the feds can't find a reason to charge shooter; WARN: article includes quotes from FBI "text messages" as if true.
But after a conviction, the feds can ask for a "sentencing enhancement". Shooter was also from Utah - did not cross state lines - Kirk was not in an elected position, was not a gov't official - Utah's already seeking death penalty.

A quotation from Bill Watterson
CALVIN: I’m thinking of starting my own talk radio show. I’ll spout simplistic opinions for hours on end, ridicule anyone who disagrees with me, and generally foster divisiveness, cynicism, and a lower level of public dialogue!
HOBBES: It would seem you were born for the job.
CALVIN: Imagine getting paid to act like a six-year-old!
Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
Calvin and Hobbes (1995-01-19)

Jemele Hill is a not very bright elitist scumbag who significantly underestimates the curiosity and the fortitude of the American people. He is the very definition of the automatic corporate windup doll as pundit. You could easily replace Hill with a potted plant weaned on ChatGPT. Someone should really fire Hill and Jonathan Chait into space so that they can never tender their "hot takes" in any publication again. They are both useless cynical buffoons.
A quotation from Franklin Adams
When the political columnists say “Every thinking man,” they mean themselves, and when candidates appeal to “Every intelligent voter,” they mean everybody who is going to vote for them.

#Beware the #Pundit-Brained Version of the #DemocraticNationalConvention.

#ScottJennings Comes Out And Says It…
“He did #crap the bed today,” Jennings said. “The only question is whether he’s gonna roll around in it or get up and change the sheets.”
Trump attacked the #journalists #hosting the #event, claimed #VicePresident #KamalaHarris “happened to turn #Black” only a couple of years ago, and declared himself the best #president for #Black #Americans since #AbrahamLincoln, among other things.

Judge says far-right US news outlet filed bankruptcy in bad faith
A bankruptcy judge dismissed a bankruptcy case filed by the #Gateway #Pundit on Wednesday, saying the far-right outlet did not file the case in good faith.
The ruling from the US bankruptcy judge Mindy Mora in the southern district of Florida comes as the outlet faces significant #defamation #cases from two Georgia election workers and a former Dominion voting systems employee who say the site spread #false #claims about them after the 2020 election
Calling the site’s assets “eye-catching”, Mora noted that they were
22 times the size of its liabilities.
“TGP remains both balance sheet and cash flow #solvent.
There is no present financial distress, no looming foreclosure sale, no prospect of a market crash.
There is only the State Court Litigation in which TGP must defend itself.
That’s not a basis for bankruptcy relief; it’s the justice system in operation,” Mora wrote.
The Gateway Pundit declared bankruptcy on 24 April saying it was doing so as a litigation strategy in the defamation cases filed against it.
Filing for bankruptcy pauses all civil proceedings against a business.
“This is a common tool for reorganization and to consolidate litigation when attacks are coming from all sides.
It allows TGP to consolidate this lawfare in one court for ultimate resolution,” Jim Hoft, the site’s founder, wrote at the time.
Republicans also made concerns about the election a formal part of their #platform.
“We will implement measures to secure our elections,
including voter ID,
highly sophisticated paper ballots,
proof of citizenship and same-day voting.
We will not allow the Democrats to give voting rights to illegal aliens,” the document says.
Republicans say they are building an army of poll watchers and observers
to watch over the vote this year.
They’ve also appointed #Christina #Bobb,
a lawyer facing criminal charges in Arizona for her involvement in the #fake #electors scheme,
to head the party’s litigation efforts.

Election denialism front and center at Republican national convention
“Don’t fuck us,” #Lara #Logan, the former CBS News anchor turned to me and said.
“If you use the word #conspiracy theorist in your story, I’m going to haunt you when I #die.”
It was the third day of the Republican national #convention and Logan was standing in the atrium of a hotel that was once the old Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee.
She was there to moderate a presentation by #Jim #Hoft,
the founder of the far-right website #Gateway #Pundit, and his twin brother, Joe, who is also a contributor to the site.
The site, which has become a launchpad for #misinformation,
has been in hot water recently.
The site declared #bankruptcy in April in order to delay civil suits from two #Georgia election workers and a former #Dominion Voting Systems employee who say the site defamed them.
The site denies publishing #libelous claims against the women.
The event billed as a “blockbuster interview” on the site’s “legal challenges and new beginnings” underscored how doubts about the outcome of the 2020 election continue to grip Republicans
(a PRRI poll from January found that 63% of Republicans believe the 2020 election was #stolen).
Inside and outside of the convention hall, it was clear in speeches and interviews with attendees throughout the week that doubts about the 2020 election remain,
and the possibility of another “stolen” vote looms.
The most direct reference to a stolen election in 2020 came in a pre-recorded video from Donald Trump
that aired on the jumbotron each night.
It was only one of two videos that repeated
(the other was a goofy video of Trump doing a wiggle-type dance to the song #YMCA).
“The most important thing we have to do is protect the vote.
You have to keep your eyes open because these people want to cheat
and they do cheat, and, frankly, it’s the only thing they do well,” Trump said in the video.
Republican speakers steered clear of the 2020 election results directly,
and instead repeatedly emphasized the threat of #non-#citizen voting,
which is exceedingly #rare and yet nonetheless has become a central part of the party’s #messaging around elections.
Just as Trump pointed to mail-in ballots to seed #doubt about the 2020 election,
experts believe that the emphasis on non-citizen voting is an effort to seed doubt about the election results in 2024.
At the Gateway Pundit event, there was little new information.
Jim Hoft walked the 20 or so attendees
– the event was also livestreamed on X
– through video footage that purported to show Georgia election workers running ballots through tabulator machines several times.
“We think this is important because in my world anyway where I grew up, you kind of count ballots two or three times,” Jim Hoft said.
He insisted that nothing the site had published had been disproven.
The claim that ballots were scanned multiple times in Georgia has been
#debunked repeatedly
and the women have both been cleared of any wrongdoing.
If there’s an issue scanning a single ballot within a batch
– a jam or a smudge on a ballot
– it’s common practice for election workers to delete the incomplete batch to #rescan the entire group until they have the correct total.
The state also conducted a hand recount of every single vote cast in the presidential race in Georgia that #confirmed Joe Biden’s win there.
At the convention, there was little doubt that the next election could be #rigged.
The struggle of the Biden campaign and Trump’s strong standing in the polls only increased the belief that any Democratic victory would be illegitimate.
Speaking at an Axios event on the sidelines of the convention, Donald Trump #Jr said that if Trump lost it would be because of “#cheating”.
“We’re going to have to make sure we have people watching [the election] very closely,” he said at the event.
“I don’t think that Joe Biden over-performed only in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee
– I just don’t #believe that’s real,” he said.
As part of their messaging around non-citizen voting, Republicans recently passed legislation in the US House that would
require anyone who registers to vote to show proof of citizenship.
Speakers at the convention picked up the mantle by suggesting that Democrats had opened the borders to allow non-citizens to vote.
#Kari #Lake, who is running for a US Senate seat in Arizona,
falsely accused her opponent, Representative Ruben Gallego,
of voting to “let the millions of people who poured into our country illegally cast a ballot in this upcoming election”.
Imagining a second Biden term, Senator Rick Scott of Florida said: “It was easy for Democrats to rig the elections – they simply allowed all the non-citizens to vote.”
“[Democrats] want illegals to vote now that they opened the border,” Steve Scalise, a top Republican in the US House, said in his speech.

#RexMurphy, the controversial #Newfoundland-born #pundit and #wordsmith whose writing and often-blistering commentaries were the focus of a decades-long career in #Canadian #media, has died at the age of 77, according to the #NationalPost.
"You might not agree with what Rex had to say, but oh, boy, could he ever say it," said #comedian and fellow #Newfoundlander #MarkCritch, who performed an impression of Murphy on #ThisHourHas22Minutes.
