The role of the Star Tribune revisited By Scott Johnson Some observers outside Minnesota may reasonably ask, if Governor Tim Walz is so bad (and, as I say, worse than bad), why he has done so well politically. The reasons are many. One reason is the subservience of the Star Tribune to the needs of the Democratic Party. The work of the Star Tribune in Walz’s service provides a current case study. See, for example, Rochelle Olson’s treatment of the current controversy regarding Walz’s departure from the Minnesota National Guard before it was to deploy to Iraq in this classic “Fact check: Walz’s National Guard records show that Vance’s claim of ‘stolen valor’ is false.” Subhead: “GOP vice presidential candidate JD Vance claims that the Minnesota governor and Democratic vice presidential candidate bailed as his unit headed to Iraq, but Walz retired before his unit was called up.” The Star Tribune featured Olson’s story on page one yesterday. (Dustin Grage has stepped up to serve as a one-man Walz truth squad.) https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/08/the-role-of-the-star-tribune-2.php .

Just Who Is the Real Middle-Class President? Stephen Moore President Joe Biden talked incessantly about his "from the middle class out" economic strategy. Given his record, it would have been more accurate to call it the "middle class down and out" plan. Inflation has eroded away any income gains under Biden's presidency. Now Vice President Kamala Harris has her own riff on this theme. Her campaign motto is "building up the middle class." It isn't exactly "Make America Great Again," but Dems don't have a lot of time to come up with anything catchier, given that Kamala was reluctantly chosen as the 8th inning relief pitcher for Old Joe, who had long ago lost his fastball. But Harris and Biden are, as the old saying goes, birds of a feather who flock together. They are running on almost precisely the same agenda as we've seen for four years. The central problem is that the record for most Americans is a lot more meaningful than the message. The irony of this "build the middle class" mantra is that no administration in recent times has done more to tear down the middle class than Biden-Harris. The most recent Census Bureau data on incomes and poverty shows that under former President Trump, incomes of the middle class rose faster than under all the three previous presidents combined. The difference between the Trump and Biden administrations is $8,000 per household in Trump's favor. This same data shows income gains for minorities and female-headed households were larger under Trump. Poverty rates fell faster under Trump as well. https://hotair.com/stephen-moore/2024/08/09/just-who-is-the-real-middle-class-president-n3792894 .

Awww, she's too good to us. Kamala: 'I'll Do an Interview Before the End of the Month' David Strom It's August 9th today, and Kamala Harris has been the Democrat nominee for about three weeks. In that time she has given prepared remarks almost exclusively, with a sentence or two deviations, but taken no questions from reporters. During that time reporters have excused this as Kamala getting her feet under her, as if she hasn't been in politics for decades and Vice President for 3 1/2 years. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2024/08/09/kamala-ill-do-an-interview-before-the-end-of-the-month-n3792904

‘Pull Off a Leg or Two’: The Undercover Planned Parenthood Videos Kamala Tried to Bury. It's been nine years since David Daleiden exposed illegal activity in the abortion industry in the sale of fetal tissue from abortions. It's also been nine years since then-Attorney General Kamala Harris declared war on Daleiden in an attempt to bury his undercover videos. Harris and her California prosecutors conducted a broad and pernicious campaign of lawfare against Daleiden and his colleagues at the Center for Medical Progress for using the same kind of undercover-journalism techniques used by the mainstream media for decades. It took nine years -- nine years -- for a court to recognize that the state cannot suppress the videos. The New York Post reports on the publication of two videos from Daleiden that allegedly shows Planned Parenthood officials discussing how to dismember fetuses during their abortions to avoid violations of the Partial Birth Abortion Act (PBA): {snip} What about the videos themselves? They're horrific, and carry a NSFW warning from CMP based on the content of the conversations. The first video shows a conversation between their undercover reporter, Dr. Ann Schutt-Aine, the Chief Medical Officer of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, and Tram Nguyen, RN, the branch’s Vice President of Abortion Access. That conversation relates more to the legal problems of Planned Parenthood's tissue sales: The second conversation may be even more legally problematic for Planned Parenthood's execs. They discuss how they "disarticulate" fetuses during the procedure for the explicit purpose of not having to comply with the PBA: Yeah, I'd call that "f***ing evil," and it's clear that they knew it at the time, too. So did Kamala Harris, which is why she worked so hard to bury this reporting and punish the people who exposed the evil. The cover-up did one thing, though. It made sure that these Planned Parenthood officials can't be prosecuted for any crimes, since the statutes of limitation will almost certainly make it impossible for Texas or federal prosecutors to investigate. For that, Planned Parenthood still owes Kamala Harris and her use of state prosecutorial power to help cover up their potential crimes and admissions. https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/08/08/pull-off-a-leg-or-two-the-undercover-planned-parenthood-videos-kamala-tried-to-bury-n3792858 .
