Welcome to the RedState Weekly Briefing — where we take a quick look
at the week’s most viewed stories in case you missed any of them. Grab a
cup of coffee (or something stronger as we stumble into Fall), and sit
down with this 21st Century Weekend Edition of your favorite (online)
publication!
#1 - Tim Walz's Self-Implosion Continues During Press Gaggle, and John Fetterman's Reaction Is Priceless — by Bonchie
To
be clear, this was not about mixing up dates. If I tell you I was at
the World Trade Center on 9/11 but it turns out I was just in New York
three months later, that would be an inexcusable lie. The event is
the point in a situation like this, not the date. A person doesn't
accidentally say they were in Hong Kong for the Tiananmen Square
protests when they weren't. Walz has long lied about his background for personal gain, and this is just another example of that.
Past that, this idea that he was taking trips to China to teach students about democracy is absurd. That would be the last place
one would take students if they wanted to learn about the topic.
Whatever affinity Walz had for China, learning about democracy had
nothing to do with it.
#2 - Kamala's Attempted Troll of Trump at Alabama Game Fails Miserably, While Trump Is Cheered Wildly — by Nick Arama
So
much for "any time, any place." Apparently that doesn't mean any
network that she thinks might not have helpful moderators for her. Looks
like Kamala was doing a lot of projection there and was the "loser" of
whom she spoke. She was the one ducking debates.
Harris just made
herself look silly and desperate. She probably couldn't get all of her
ridiculous word salad on a banner. If you're winning, you don't have to
play such games to try to get attention.
Then too, she failed to
understand the people to whom she was trying to appeal, much as she
fails to understand most Americans.
#3 - HOT TAKES: People Notice Something Peculiar About a Staged Kamala Harris 'Briefed by FEMA' Photo — by Sister Toldjah
There
are a couple of things that I find super-annoying about the photo.
First, if she indeed really wasn't on the phone (and FWIW she's been
known to play games with her earbuds before),
it's just more fakery on top of fakery from a candidate and team who
try reinventing her as a "great leader" just about every single day.
The
other thing and more importantly is that not one person in this country
who is heartbroken and praying for western North Carolina families
should be impressed with the photo and caption considering it was posted
two days after the region got hammered by Helene and after
Harris had other priorities that didn't include expressing anything
beyond the bare minimum concern for the hundreds of thousands who have
been negatively impacted in my state.
#4 - Biden, Harris Comments in Hurricane-Affected Area Raise Questions and Anger; Elon Wrecks Them in Tweet — by Nick Arama
If
you lost your home, that would barely pay for a few days in a hotel and
food for a family. And you can apply for it online, she said. Assuming
you had power.
Many sounded off on this statement from Harris,
raising questions like how much money has been given to Ukraine? Or to
all kinds of services and assistance for illegal aliens? $750 is a
pittance by comparison.
Meanwhile, Biden, the generally absent
leader, was in North Carolina. Watch how slow he is taking his seat,
while all around him are moving at normal speed.
#5 - WATCH: The Look on Kamala's Face When the Teleprompter Goes Out at Labor Event in Flint, MI — by Nick Arama
But
perhaps the funniest -- and most revealing moment -- during her remarks
in Flint was this one when the teleprompter went out. She started
talking about Magic Johnson's number being 32 and then said there are 32
days until the election. Check out the look on her face -- you can see
the moment that it happened, and then the desperate "filler" words as
she waited for it to come back:
She was completely unsure what to
do next. How can you ever put someone like that in charge, in such an
important position? How would she deal with foreign leaders?
