#1 - BREAKING: Las Vegas Police Recordings Released From Biden's Medical Event and Code 3 Transport to Airport — by Jennifer Van Laar
Audio
from the Las Vegas Metro Police Department's protective detail for
President Joe Biden on July 17 was released Friday afternoon by
Oversight Project, which obtained the recordings through a Freedom of
Information Act request. Those recordings confirm RedState's reporting
that Biden was first headed to University Medical Center, a trauma
center, after he suddenly canceled a speaking engagement due to illness,
then suddenly diverted directly to Harry Reid International Airport.
EXCLUSIVE: Sources Say Joe Biden Suffered Neurological Event Before Suddenly Leaving Las Vegas
The
three recordings span a time frame of a few hours and are not
timestamped, so it's difficult to get exact time frames from them. Two
of the clips, each about four minutes long, are clips from the general
channel where LVMPD coordinated additional units (meaning, units that
were not involved in the protective detail) used to shut down traffic
and secure the routes after the sudden change of plans. The third, the
event channel for the officers involved in the protective detail, is
about 43 minutes long. We are sharing the audio in full here so readers
can listen for themselves.
#2 - Tim Walz's National Guard Unit Chaplain Puts the Retirement Controversy to Rest With Just One Word — by streiff
Another thing has become obvious. Whenever
anyone who served with Vance is asked about his service, they are very
complimentary. The former Marines who served with Vance liked him and
still like him even though their politics differ; see A Tale of Two Veterans: What the Service of Walz and Vance Tells Us About the Men. His former battalion commander put to rest the "he's not a combat veteran" slur; see WATCH: 'Noxious' CNN Host Brianna Keilar Has to Walk Back Comments Critical of JD Vance's Service Record – RedState.
The
opposite is true of Walz. His military record was examined because two
of his peers blew the whistle on his self-serving cowardice. When the
brigade sergeant major, Walz's superior in the Noncommissioned Officer support channel, was interviewed, CNN abruptly terminated the damning testimony; see BOMBSHELL: Tim Walz's Former Superior Goes on CNN, Delivers Devastating Testimony.
Now, in virtual chef's kiss to the controversy, the chaplain of Walz's battalion has offered his commentary.
#3 - Biden Randomly Starts Screaming at Cancer Event, Appears to Forget What Year It Is and Obama's Name — by Nick Arama
"I
started this back in the administration of President...at the time,
when I was vice president. And we found out I traveled to every major
cancer research facility in the world," Biden said.
It could also be that after the effort to shove him out of the race, he doesn't even want to mention Obama's name.
Then
at the event, Biden told the false story about traveling "17,000 miles"
with Xi Jinping. But he started saying it so softly, with his eyes half
shut, that it seemed like he had no energy. He sounded half asleep and
he struggled to read the teleprompter, even though he's told the same
false story many times.
#4 - Trump Throws a Curveball With Revamped Social Media Game, Takes Completely New Tone — by Bonchie
The
first step to fixing a problem is admitting you have one. Trump
revamping his social media game, including handing control of his
account (seemingly for the first time) to campaign operatives needed to
happen. It was too big of a tool in the toolbox to keep hidden away and
unused. Truth Social is a tiny bubble. It's the epitome of preaching to
the choir. Coming back to X means he can reach tens of millions of
followers and he can ad-boost posts that will reach millions more (which he's currently doing).
This
wasn't a random decision. The Trump campaign is on rocky ground right
now due to a relentlessly dishonest propaganda push by the mainstream
press that has sought to completely redefine Harris despite her terrible
track record.
#5 - Trump on X Taps Into a Voting Bloc That Legacy Media Doesn't Even Know Exists — Jennifer Oliver O'Connell
The "edgelord influencers,"
make up a young and MALE segment of voters who have huge online
followings, eschew TikTok, and promote alpha males. Trump and his VP
running mate JD Vance have been speaking to these influencers and
appearing on their podcasts and shows, so who knows how many have tuned
in Monday night? So far, over 30 million people (and counting) have already plugged into Trump's X conversation with Musk.
While
many are writers, the political class, and the MAGA base, among that
number are probably undecided voters or people who pay little attention
to the legacy media. The Kamala coronation is either passing over their
heads or viewed like a person with three heads. But the iconic former
president who survived an assassination attempt?
