GOP Missing Its Moment
Both sides continue to kick common sense Americans in the teeth!
Political week in review‼️: Democrats just nominated an Islamist socialist, American-hating — insert word I can’t say here on TV — and then Republicans said, “Hold my beer.”
🤦Both sides continue to kick independent/moderate/common sense Americans in the teeth!
Michigan: Pete Buttigieg began the Democratic Unity Tour with Abdul El-Sayed
El-Sayed is now doubling down on hating Mackinac Island — perhaps the most American place in America
A family-friendly island filled with horse-drawn carriages and fudge stores
Perspective: The socialist misfits will continue to show their deep anti-American streak – they can’t help themselves
Parental wisdom📱: “Lower your hair…even your staff and friends Will Not tell you! !!!you are handsome , don’t look goofy , Look Serious!” — my father texted me in response to today’s First Dispatch video.
A wise man once said, “The higher the hair, the closer to God.” But really, it’s just the NYC humidity, which evidently feels like Cuba because of a rogue communist airmass
Ben Noll@BenNollWeatherWhy is it so humid in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic? Because the air mass overhead traveled from the Caribbean — specifically, Cuba — over the past 10 days. Peak humidity in New York City on Thursday was approximately equal to that of the Amazon Rainforest.

MUST BUY!!!📘: One of our favorite guests, Evan Barker, is out with a New York Times bestseller: “Nothing Left: Confessions of a Democratic Operative”
It’s hard to imagine a more timely book — she used to work for Abdul El-Sayed

Save Flock 📷: Since we first told you about Flock surveillance cameras a few weeks ago, the anti-Flock movement has exploded. So did our finding police officers who misused the technology
Like in Mooresville, where a female officer accessed license plate data to track her boyfriend’s ex-wife.
Scary🚨: We rarely realize how much power individual officers have.
What it does‼️: Flock and other cameras record your license plate every day and keep a record of everywhere you’ve driven.
There are over 120,000 of them around America
Get the flock out —
People are tearing them down
They’re spray-painting them
Videos on how to fight them in city councils
In Alabama, a man was arrested for shooting one.
But on the other side, police are defending them — the cameras are helping solve crimes like kidnapping
Tonight📺: Mooresville Police Chief Ron Campurciani joins us to explain what an internal investigation found about his department’s use of the cameras.
Kabuki dancing 🕺: Another summer Friday, another release of UFO files
The Pentagon released more documents and videos showing weird, random objects flying in the sky
Once again, the White House is releasing these on Fridays in the summer —
Which means they have no desire to actually engage in the conversation because there is nothing there.
If Trump could reveal there were UFOs, he would do it
GOP Missing Its Moment🐘
🤦Never underestimate Republicans’ ability to screw things up.
There’s arguably never been a batch of candidates easier to beat than the Democrats this midterm season — yet Republicans are once again saying, “Hold my beer”
Max Miller refuses to drop out of his Ohio race after abuse allegations from multiple women
Today, he loaned his own campaign $1 million
Speaker Mike Johnson continues to defend him
Trump is continuing to post and complain about his ballroom
GOP members talking about Fauci
The party is fighting about burritos
‼️Yet, no Republican is willing to talk about the real things that will actually help those Americans struggling — it’s simple
Talk about raising the Social Security cap
Talk about lowering grocery prices
64% of Americans say food prices have risen “a lot”
Talk about the economy
71% of Americans say the economy is “only fair/poor”
62% of Americans say it’s “difficult/impossible” to cover a $1,000 expenses
If Republicans won’t solve problems — Democrats have an open lane
Check out this terrifying polling from Reuters —
“Some US progressive goals win support of independent voters”
📉Today’s job numbers showed just how tough the economy is right now
The report showed the economy lost 23,000 jobs … it was projected to gain 85,000
Kevin Hassett tried to argue that once you take out the sectors that lost the thousands of jobs, the economy actually added jobs
Aaron Rupar@atruparKevin Hassett on Fox News argues that if you exclude the sectors that lost hundreds of thousands of jobs, "you actually had a number that was about plus 100,000" 🙃1:26 PM · Aug 7, 2026 · 549K Views601 Replies · 689 Reposts · 3.72K Likes
Sir — we have rearranged the deck chairs on the Titanic
Watch tonight📺: Steve Cortes, Lauren Wright and Joe Sweeny
Russia Watching? ⚠️
‼️New reporting shows American missile stockpiles are at critically low levels — and Russia’s Vladimir Putin is looking to take advantage of it.
📰The Wall Street Journal headlines, “U.S. Intel Finds Putin Could Test NATO’s Resolve With Limited Incursion,” writing:
“The U.S. had previously assessed that Putin wouldn’t provoke a North Atlantic Treaty Organization country while he is still fighting in Ukraine. But that assessment changed earlier this year, the U.S. officials said, as Putin is squeezed in Ukraine and under pressure at home to secure a victory.”
Warning ⚠️: Putin is going to escalate to deescalate — and there’s not a strong united front against this
Trump showed us earlier this week just how easily his foreign policy can be manipulated by foreign adversaries.
Reporting says the U.S. has used up “virtually all” of its long-range missiles —
Look at the numbers 📉: Before the Iran war, the U.S. had 2,330 Patriot missile interceptors
Now, we only have around 800 remaining
Tonight📺: Retired Vice Admiral Robert Harward on whether the American military faces a crisis of complacency.
Didn’t know if it was appropriate to laugh at your father’s text. You looked fine. But really, Mr Vittert, it’s extremely humid.
Oh good heavens! The GOP look to be done for, unless they wise up, like tomorrow..I agree, keep the flock.. big points for kicking, very nice.. sounds like a week rounded show tonight, see you then!
