Former NBC News moderator Chuck Todd summarized the political moment in a post on X late Tuesday, writing: "August has been a cruel month for Trump politically."
President Donald Trump bragged on Wednesday, "I'm very good at flagpoles!" during what CNN described as an "impromptu tour of his various White House construction projects." CNN's Kasie Hunt reported on the moment during Wednesday's edition of The Arena, explaining, "The president's schedule initially said he was participating in a policy meeting during that time. Instead, he spent 32 minutes ... explaining in painstaking detail the changes that he's bringing to the People's House." While the CNN segment is a supercut of the event, the full clip shows Trump citing a 2025 donation of his, which he described on Truth Social at the time as "two beautiful Flag Poles on both sides of the White House."
Deborah Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), who never held a real job in the private sector after graduating college in 1990, won the primary for the newly created 20th CD, after Democratic critics accused her of undermining Black representation. Several weeks ago, some of us warned drudge.com readers that AIPAC will come out ahead in the Florida re-districting scheme; maybe Lord Jazz was one of them besides Coriolanus.
Florida CD is 49.1% Black
Notorious Islamophobe Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) was caught on camera going through someone else's mail while campaigning door-to-door in his Florida district.

Randy Fine (R) is not a good human being

Senator Jon Ossoff criticized President Donald Trump's relationship with his aide Natalie Harp during a rally on Sunday, accusing him of preferring to "travel with Natalie" than performing his job. The Democratic Senator was discussing the duration of U.S. Navy sailors' deployments on aircraft carriers this year when he launched a sharp attack against Trump. "While the sailors on the Lincoln fight his war, while he fruitlessly drains our munitions and oil reserves, the president sleeps through his meetings," Ossoff said. "He golfs and trades stocks. See, he doesn't want to do the job; he wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie to their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar."
Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir publicly advocated for killing "30 to 40" people in Gaza each night. Ben-Gvir -- who can't wait to see young Palestinian convicts executed in Israeli Death Forces (IDF) concentration camps -- criticized the recent drawdown of homicidal airstrikes in Gaza. "It's no secret, I disagree with the prime minister," the blood-thirsty minister brayed. "I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night. Not just those who pose an immediate threat -- here are people who are not worthy of life. They shouldn't live. They're not even people."
Itamar Ben-Gvir is obviously not a good human being

I want to talk about The Antichrist Who Shall Not Be Named.
And by that I mean channels such as mine who talk about the person who lines up with the biblical Antichrist are in my opinion being suppressed. I say that because despite repeated attempts to promote my videos, I keep getting the message that these are election advertising.
And I've been getting this message for over 5 years. This despite the fact that my videos are about Bible prophecy and the person who matches the biblical descriptions for the Antichrist described in those prophecies is not up for election anytime soon. Read more

Is it a sitcom? Is it a Miami manosphere convention? No, it's Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate fanboys fighting for their freedom. A few blocks from the federal detention centre where the brothers are currently being held following their 18 July arrests, "Top G" loyalists gathered in Downtown Miami to demand their release, in a rather unique way. Footage soon surfaced online of a bunch of grown men (in 34-degree heat, mind you) dropping to the ground and doing push-ups as a form of protest. Ah yes, very Alpha. And if push-ups with questionable form weren't enough, they also came equipped with handwritten signs reading, "Thank you Andrew Tate for teaching us BRAVERY!" and "Tates are heroes"
