Long time Fox New host and now contributor Brit Hume gave Trump some bad news about Trump's chances in the upcoming election. Hume described Trump's weakness since his win in 2016, and even the staunch never-Democrat Hume got honest. BRIT HUME: You get down to it, the past eight to ten years have been about Donald Trump. Everything has been about Donald Trump. I don't think that the Democrats would have let Joe Biden get as far as he did if it wasn't, if the party hadn't been confident that the Republicans were going to nominate Donald Trump again, which the Republicans did. The fact that Biden was doing even as well as he did until the very end is testament to the fact that Donald Trump, he has a very hard, solid base of support, but it never gets above about 40 to 45 percent, maybe a little more at best. So his weakness is the predicate for our politics going back now three elections. He was able to surmount Hillary Clinton, a uniquely unpopular opponent, but he couldn't beat Biden. And, you know, you look at the losses in the midterms, well, he was, or the disappointing results in the midterms. It's all about one thing. It's about that Donald Trump, no matter how enthusiastic his supporters are, nonetheless, is not a majority candidate. He might win, but he's not a majority candidate. Brit Hume has WORSE opinions about JD Vance, LOL: read more

Adam Kinzinger, one of two Republicans who served on the select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection, will speak at the Democratic National Convention this week, three sources familiar with the planning say. Via CNN: Kinzinger is slated to speak on Thursday night, the sources said, the same evening Vice President Kamala Harris will address convention delegates. Kinzinger, who is now a CNN political commentator, was one of 10 House Republicans to vote for former President Donald Trump’s impeachment for “incitement of an insurrection” in relation to Trump’s role during the attack on the US Capitol. Kinzinger has endorsed Harris, whose campaign has launched a “Republicans for Harris” effort in an attempt to appeal to GOP voters who are turned off by Trump. I wouldn't be surprised to see Liz Cheney in there somewhere, but the speakers list hasn't been finalized yet. Newsflash: Adam Kinzinger, a brave defender of democracy, has made the bold decision to prioritize his country over his party by speaking at the Democratic National Convention (DNC).

Via KOCO.com: At around 6 a.m. on July 4, John Sexton was walking with his 6-year-old son, who has autism. He was stopped by two officers for suspicious activity before being thrown to the ground and briefly detained. "Shut up and listen just a minute. We had small enough suspicion to identify you," the officer could be heard saying in body camera video. "What was I being detained for?" Sexton asked. "We don't know what you were doing!

Former Bush spokes-liar lies about who sank the public option in the Affordable Care Act, while doing what they always do with Democrats, which is accusing them of being Socialists, or Communists, or Marxists, or whatever meaningless insult they're lobbing at them on any give week. Here's Ari Fleischer pretending they weren't being just as insulting to former President Obama when he was trying to pass the ACA as they're all being towards Kamala Harris now, and lying about who was responsible for getting rid of the public option during a segment on Fox's The Ingraham Angle this Sunday: INGRAHAM: Well, it's no secret that Kamala is trying to rebrand herself as Obama 2 .0. She's brought on multiple former Obama aides to run her campaign.

No one is kidding themselves about Ohio’s sprawling 12th district in the central and eastern part of the state. It stretches from the Columbus suburbs into the rural Appalachian areas next to West Virginia. And it’s been pretty red in recent memory. Trump won the district both times, 53-42% in 2016 and 52 to 46% in 2020. Troy Balderson, a college dropout who bankrupted his family’s car sales business, was first elected to the state legislature in 2008 and very narrowly (101,772 to 100,208) won the congressional seat when Pat Tiberi retired in 2018.
