"Hackers at a conference last weekend found numerous vulnerabilities in election machines while the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) confirmed that current voting systems to be used in the November election have not been tested by third parties for vulnerabilities.

"While many vulnerabilities were found in election machines at the conference, Georgia is set to use outdated election machines for the November presidential election, and the EAC doesn't have a standard testing process in place to search out vulnerabilities in election equipment."

"Under pressure to demonstrate she is not as hostile to Israel as some might believe, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris on Monday named a campaign liaison to the Jewish community.

"He is Ilan Goldenberg, who served as an adviser to Harris on the Middle East before transitioning to his new role. Now he will guide the campaign on 'issues related to the U.S.-Israel relationship, the war in Gaza, and the broader Middle East,' a campaign aide told Jewish Insider.

"So, is it a peace offering? Well, Goldenberg has longstanding ties to the anti-Israel group J Street and served as a foreign policy adviser to Elizabeth Warren's failed 2020 presidential bid. Throughout his professional career, both in and out of government, he has served as a public defender of the Democratic party's criticisms of Israel, a critic of the GOP's efforts to strengthen ties with the Jewish state, and a proponent of deepening diplomatic relations with Iran."

"Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., was largely unknown to voters across the country when Vice President Kamala Harris selected him as her running mate, so his record is coming under national scrutiny for the first time. Unfortunately for Walz and the Democrats, his record as governor of Minnesota is every bit as bad as that of the Biden-Harris administration, if not worse.

"When the George Floyd riots began in Minneapolis in May 2020, Walz dithered. For four days, while Minneapolis and other cities burned, Walz refused to call out the National Guard. By the time the riots were finally brought under control, the Minneapolis Police Department's Third Precinct station had been stormed by rioters and burned, along with many other buildings.

"The result is a crime wave that continues to the present. Throughout its history, Minnesota had always been a low-crime state. But as a result of Walz's anti-law enforcement policies, the rate of serious crimes in Minnesota now exceeds the national average. For the first time, Minnesota is officially a high-crime state."

"In 2019, the watchdog site GovTrack rated Kamala Harris 'the most liberal' member of the Senate.

"She was the senator least likely to sign onto bipartisan legislation.

"Look for that write-up now, however, and you find a 'Page not found.' GovTrack deleted it.

"It's just one example of how Kamala Harris, once a hero of progressives, has been, along with helpful media, hiding all her far-left positions from voters.

"A centrist Democrat has a better chance of winning the election, so a centrist she shall be.

"But it doesn't take much searching to find the real politician, not the Kameleon she presents."

"It's hard to imagine a political debate over the need for food or water. Not about how or from where either is obtained, but about the human need for them. We don't need to say 'Plant, Baby, Plant!' to remind us that agriculture is a critical industry, or 'Pump, Baby, Pump!' to highlight the importance of maintaining the water supply. But when it comes to oil, the politically motivated mantra, 'Drill, Baby, Drill!' invokes controversy.

"The controversy comes from the idea that petroleum is a discretionary product -- something that we can simply 'transition' away from. Yet petroleum is as essential to the health and survival of modern society as are food and water."

"As part of their embarrassing smear campaign against Republicans worried about the integrity of America's elections, legacy media have twisted themselves into pretzels trying to convince the country that foreign nationals interfering in the U.S. electoral system is a nonexistent problem.

"So-called 'journalists' and their Democrat political allies regularly claim concerns about noncitizens registering ahead of and voting in the 2024 election are baseless because it's already illegal for foreigners to cast ballots in federal contests. Of course, these self-professed 'experts' on 'misinformation' conveniently decline to mention that there's no enforcement mechanism to prevent this from happening; or that numerous Democrat-run cities have granted illegal aliens the ability to vote in municipal races.

"Yet, for all their hyperbolic grandstanding and opposition to ensuring only eligible Americans have a say in U.S. elections, Democrats have no legs left to stand on when it's revealed that foreign nationals are, in fact, registering to vote."

"Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., lost her reelection bid during Missouri's primary elections on Tuesday, making her the second 'Squad' member to receive the pink slip from voters this year.

"With 99 percent of votes tabulated as of publication, Wesley Bell is projected to be the Democrat nominee in the battle for the Show Me State's 1st Congressional District this November. Preliminary results show Bell won 51.2 percent of the vote, with Bush finishing second with 45.6 percent. ...

"The battle to become Vice President Harris's running mate is turning increasingly ugly as a decision nears and Democrats rally around their own preferred picks.

"Progressives angered by Israel's war in Gaza have increasingly targeted Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D), who is Jewish, over his stances on Israel and handling of pro-Palestinian protests. Separately, Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) also flagged concerns about Shapiro to Harris's team, according to Politico.

"The left wing of the Democratic Party is increasingly pushing for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) to be the Harris pick. A number of House Democrats have been trying to boost Walz, a source familiar with the conversations said.

"Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), another top contender, has seen some union leaders publicly question whether he should get the nod, though the talk has not reached the nastiness of the debate over Shapiro."

"For the past four years, inflation has rattled local small businesses across the country. The inflation rate peaked in 2022, but of course the cost of goods never went back down.

"In fact the prices just kept rising, just not at the same clip they had been rising at the peak.

"In short, gas prices, food prices, housing prices, energy prices, and insurance costs are still blowing away everyday people's budgets, making them cut costs on essentials or drive up credit card debt despite the Biden-Harris administration consistently dismissing their plight for two years.

"On Friday, things just became worse for middle America's economic concerns when the latest jobs report for July showed that not only has job growth slowed to an alarming number, only adding 114,000 jobs on a seasonally adjusted basis when experts had been expecting 176,00 new jobs, but the June and May jobs reports were revised lower by 29,000 jobs.

"This means that 10 out of the last 14 reports have now been revised lower."

"Last week's American Federation of Teachers (AFT) convention was, effectively, a campaign rally for Vice President Kamala Harris. The labor union formally endorsed Harris last Tuesday, and it spent much of the week heaping praise on her while demonizing school choice and its champions.

"The union did not spend the week talking about how to solve the devastating learning loss caused by the school closures it intentionally prolonged. It also did not meaningfully address fixing the chronic absenteeism crisis or the total breakdown of discipline that has led to many of its members being unsafe at work. Neither did Harris, who focused on student debt cancellation, gun control, and repeating a false narrative about Florida's parental rights law.

"If students were doing well, the AFT and Harris would want to shout it from the rooftops. But there is painfully little to brag about for government-run schooling. Four years since the Covid-19 lockdowns, and after $189.5 billion in federal relief funding for K-12 schools, students are still struggling."
