    A focus group of Black undecided voters in Georgia has raised concerns for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, revealing dissatisfaction with her leadership and the current state of the economy. According to feedback from the group, many believe the economy performed better under former President Donald Trump.

    The focus group, conducted by James Johnson of J.L. Partners for The Daily Mail, highlighted skepticism about Harris’ leadership abilities, with voters labeling her as “weak” and inconsistent. Some notable comments from participants include:

    • “If you look at the statistics now, we’re far worse than we were before. Everything is worse now with Biden and Harris.”
    • “Even though Trump didn’t make all the right choices, the economy just worked better under him. I think it was the overall business mindset that helped.”
    • “She kept saying that she’s a warrior, but I don’t think she is.”
    • “If you put her next to Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton, it’s like there’s no comparison. They would eat her up.”

    The Daily Mail further reports:

    A new shock poll conducted by the NAACP last week showed that one in four black men under 50 say they’re going to back President Donald Trump.

    Numbers like that should terrify Vice President Kamala Harris‘ campaign – especially as they eye black communities across the county that are critical to winning in 2024.

    Cobb County, Georgia is one of those places.

    President Joe Biden carried Cobb in 2020 by almost ten percentage points.

    These sentiments by the group reflect a potential challenge for Harris, particularly in Georgia, where the latest RealClearPolitics polling average shows Trump leading by 1.7 points.

      Don Lemon is facing viral criticism after posting a TikTok video mocking former First Lady Melania Trump‘s emotional account of the July 13 assassination attempt on her husband, Donald Trump. While Lemon, a former CNN anchor, remained silent in the video, his exaggerated body language – including eye-rolling, head shaking and sighing – appeared to convey ridicule and contempt.

      Melania Trump’s video, posted Wednesday on X, described the “horrible, distressing experience” of the attempt, during which a bullet grazed Donald Trump’s ear. The shooter’s subsequent gunfire killed one rallygoer and critically injured two others. In her statement, Melania expressed concern, questioning law enforcement’s actions: “I can’t help but wonder, why didn’t law enforcement officials arrest the shooter before the speech.”

      Lemon has since deleted the TikTok post, but it continues to spark reactions online.

      On Tuesday, Fox News reported that Michael Plati, assistant director of the Secret Service’s Office of Protective Operations, was strongly encouraged to retire following the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. According to United States Secret Service (USSS) Acting Director Ronald Rowe, Plati was asked to step down by senior leadership and is expected to do so in the coming days.

      The announcement of Plati’s resignation follows the July 23 departure of USSS Director Kimberly Cheatle, who resigned under mounting pressure in the wake of the assassination attempt on Trump. In light of these developments, the Department of Defense has stepped in to offer additional assistance to the Secret Service in protecting political figures requiring heightened security.

      Trump Files Appeal In ‘Politically Charged’ Manhattan District Attorney Case

        Former President Donald Trump’s legal team has filed what they are calling a “powerhouse” appeal in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s high-profile case, urging New York’s appellate court to throw out the verdict and dismiss what they describe as “the most politically charged prosecution in our Nation’s history.”

        The 111-page appeal, obtained by Fox News Digital, was submitted late Monday night to the New York Supreme Court’s Appellate Division. Trump’s legal defense is led by Robert J. Giuffra Jr. of Sullivan & Cromwell, one of the nation’s top law firms.

        Trump, who pleaded not guilty to all 34 counts of falsifying business records, was found guilty in May 2025 after a six-week criminal trial in Manhattan—the first of its kind against a former U.S. president. The case, formally New York v. Trump, is now on hold until 2029 as the appellate process unfolds.

        “President Trump’s legal team filed a powerhouse appeal in the Manhattan DA’s Witch Hunt, as the President continues his fight to put an end to the Radical Democrat Lawfare once and for all,” a spokesman for the president’s legal team told Fox News Digital.

        “The Supreme Court’s historic decision on Immunity, the Federal and New York State Constitutions, and other established legal precedent mandate that this meritless hoax be immediately overturned and dismissed,” the spokesman continued.

        “President Trump will keep defeating Democrat weaponization at every turn as he focuses on his singular mission to Make America Great Again.”

        Context: Accusations of Political Motivation

        Since bringing the charges, Bragg—a Democrat who campaigned on holding Trump “accountable”—has faced sharp criticism from conservatives and legal analysts who argue that his case represents the politicization of the justice system. Critics say Bragg’s pursuit of Trump over bookkeeping entries stretches the bounds of state law and was designed to damage the Republican frontrunner ahead of the 2024 election.

        The case centered on allegations that Trump falsified business records related to payments made in 2016. Bragg’s decision to elevate what would typically be misdemeanor bookkeeping charges to felonies was widely viewed by Trump supporters as a legal overreach motivated by partisan politics.

        Trump’s allies have consistently framed the prosecution as part of a broader “witch hunt” by Democratic officials, pointing to multiple cases against him in different jurisdictions led by Democratic prosecutors. They argue that these prosecutions are part of an ongoing “lawfare” campaign intended to interfere with his political comeback.

        With the appeal now before the appellate division, Trump’s legal team is expected to press arguments rooted in constitutional protections, prosecutorial misconduct, and recent Supreme Court rulings that reaffirm presidential immunity for official acts.

        If successful, the appeal could not only overturn Trump’s conviction but also set a significant precedent curbing the ability of state prosecutors to pursue politically charged cases against current or former presidents.

        TRUMP CAN’T MAGA WITHOUT YOU – Stop the Democrats in their tracks & show the President you’re on his side

        Disgraced Lawyer Michael Avenatti Lands Reduced Prison Term

          Michael Avenatti, a former high-profile attorney who rose to fame representing porn actor Stormy Daniels against President Donald Trump, was originally sentenced after pleading guilty to bilking his California clients and hiding millions more from the IRS. 

          He had the sentence vacated in October by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which determined that it was based on calculations of a greater loss to his victims than was actually suffered — and thus was too lengthy. 

          U.S. District Court Judge James Selna on Thursday sentenced Avenatti to 135 months, minus 40 to account for a separate Stormy Daniels fraud sentence.

          The court previously ruled that the Stormy Daniels theft was similar in nature, happened in the same time period, and therefore could be considered when deciding the new sentence.

          The 14-year sentence was nullified, but not dismissed entirely, and his convictions still stand, with Avenatti guilty of wire fraud and tax obstruction.

          Authorities said Avenatti negotiated and collected settlement payments on behalf of his clients, then funneled the money to accounts he controlled and spent it on his own lavish lifestyle.

          The case is separate from Avenatti’s other convictions for attempting to extort Nike and stealing money from Daniels. Avenatti’s attempts to get those convictions and sentences overturned on appeal all failed.

          Avenatti’s initial release date was set for July 31, 2035, but he asked Selna for a sentence that would have him released in just a few years. Avenatti, who was suspended from practicing law in California, has been representing himself.

          Prosecutors had asked for a sentence of only a few months less than the 14 years originally handed down.

          Ahead of his resentencing, Avenatti appealed for a more lenient sentence by providing details of his alleged personal transformation while behind bars in a 41-page memorandum filed last month.

          The memorandum detailed his life at the Terminal Island prison in Los Angeles, describing how he is trusted by prison officials to help other inmates – including serving as “suicide watch companion.” 

          Rush Limbaugh’s Widow Reveals Last Way He ‘Tweaked the Media’

            Rush Limbaugh is sticking it to liberals even beyond the grave.

            Kathryn Adams Limbaugh, the widow of conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh confirmed to Glenn Beck that his death certificate reads his occupation as “Radio’s Greatest of All Time.”

            “[It was] another thing we wanted to do in a way to tweak the media as a final goodbye from Rush, which we know he certainly would have loved,” she said. “But someone put that through, ironically.”

            Limbaugh also described her late husband as someone who “was so humble.”

            “He had the biggest heart,” she said. “He was so sincere. He never forgot the little guy.”

            Later in the interview, Beck asked if Sir Elton John, who is known to support Democrats, was aware when he performed at her 2010 wedding that the groom was the conservative radio host. Ms. Limbaugh shared that she belives the two men regardless of their opposite ideological differences were actually very similar.

            “This may be breaking news, but I believe that Sir Elton John and Rush are actually very, very similar. They had quite a similar demeanor off of their performance personality. I believe that they both were so hard-working. They both were at the top of their game, so to speak. They both loved their audience,” Kathryn Limbaugh added. “So in many respects, they were very similar.”

            Rush Limbaugh passed away last February following a battle with lung cancer.

            US Army Issues Rare Statement On Trump Controversy At Arlington Cemetery

              President Donald J. Trump is presented with a 10th Combat Aviation Brigade challenge coin following an air assault and gun rain demonstration at Fort Drum, New York, on August 13. The demonstration was part of President Trump's visit to the 10th Mountain Division (LI) to sign the National Defense Authorization Act of 2019, which increases the Army's authorized active-duty end strength by 4,000 enabling us to field critical capabilities in support of the National Defense Strategy.

              On Thursday the US Army released a statement defending the “professionalism” of the Arlington National Cemetery employee they believe is being “unfairly attacked” by the Trump campaign.

              The statement comes as fallout over the reported incident continues after Donald Trump visited the site to mark the anniversary of the 2021 Kabul airport terrorist attack that claimed the lives of 13 U.S. military personnel during the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan earlier this week.

              The controversy was first highlighted by an NPR story on Tuesday that reported an altercation between two members of Trump’s campaign staff and an Arlington National Cemetery employee. 

              A cemetery official was trying to prevent filming and photography in an area known as Section 60, a solemn area for Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans, to ensure the federal law against politicizing cemetery grounds was respected.

              Trump campaign staff slammed the Arlington Cemetery employee as “mentally ill” and a “disgrace” to the “hollowed [sic]” military burial site.

              The statement, issued on Thursday, reads in full:

              Arlington National Cemetery routinely hosts public wreath laying ceremonies at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for individuals and groups who submit requests in advance. ANC conducts nearly 3,000 such public ceremonies a year without incident.

              Participants in the August 26th ceremony and the subsequent Section 60 visit were made aware of federal laws, Army regulations and DoD policies, which clearly prohibit political activities on cemetery grounds. An ANC employee who attempted to ensure adherence to these rules was abruptly pushed aside. Consistent with the decorum expected at ANC, this employee acted with professionalism and avoided further disruption. The incident was reported to the JBM-HH police department, but the employee subsequently decided not to press charges. Therefore, the Army considers this matter closed.

              This incident was unfortunate, and it is also unfortunate that the ANC employee and her professionalism has been unfairly attacked. ANC is a national shrine to the honored dead of the Armed Forces, and its dedicated staff will continue to ensure public ceremonies are conducted with the dignity and respect the nation’s fallen deserve.

              Respectfully,

              U.S. Army Public Affairs

              On Wednesday, the New York Times reported that while the cemetery worker “filed an incident report with the military authorities over the altercation,” they “later declined to press charges” for fear of “retaliation” from Trump’s supporters.

              New Poll Shows MAGA Candidate Overtaking Incumbent By Double Digits

              Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) is trailing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) by a whopping 16 points in the 2026 Republican Senate primary, according to an internal poll reported by Punchbowl News on Monday.

              The poll from the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) found Paxton leading with 50% support to Cornyn’s 34%, with 17% undecided.

              Paxton, a staunch ally of President Donald Trump, officially announced his candidacy last month. He is positioning himself as a more pro-MAGA alternative to Cornyn, who hardline Texas conservatives have painted as a moderate. Cornyn, Texas’s senior senator, has held his seat since 2002 and served in Senate leadership. He was a leading contender to replace Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) as GOP leader, but eventually lost the race to Sen. John Thune (R-SD).

              Cornyn faced backlash over his work in crafting the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, a gun safety law passed in 2022 after a massacre at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.

              The legislation included enhanced background checks for gun buyers under 21 and was the first major federal gun control measure in decades.

              Punchbowl News reported in a hypothetical three-way GOP primary, Paxton leads with 44%, followed by Sen. John Cornyn at 34% and Rep. Wesley Hunt at 19%, according to an internal Tarrance Group poll conducted April 27 to May 1.

              In general election matchups against potential Democratic challenger Colin Allred, Cornyn leads by six points.

                Former 2024 GOP presidential candidate Asa Hutchinson is joining Scripps News as a political analyst, the news organization announced on Monday. 

                The former Arkansas governor who also launched an unsuccessful bid for the White House is set to appear regularly on Mondays on the news outlet’s politics and campaign-oriented evening show, “The Race.”  

                He joined the news outlet as a political analyst for the first time on Monday.  

                “I am excited to be part of the Scripps News team as we head into one of the most consequential elections in history,” Hutchinson said in a press release. “Scripps News is committed to balance in its coverage of politics, and that is what America needs at this critical moment.”  

                According to The Hill, the former Arkansas governor performed poorly in the primary as the Republican contest underscored former President Trump’s enduring dominance within the party. He ultimately dropped out in January after the Iowa caucuses.

                Despite initially stating that Donald Trump must decide if he wants to win her support, along with the primary voters who backed her campaign, Nikki Haley has announced who she’ll be supporting in the 2024 presidential election.

                It’s none other than Donald Trump.

                The former South Carolina governor and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations announced her support for Trump’s 2024 bid on Wednesday afternoon during an appearance at the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C.

                As The Hill reports:

                “As a voter, I put my priorities on a president who’s going to have the backs of our allies and hold our enemies to account, who would secure the border, no more excuses. A president who would support capitalism and freedom, a president who understands we need less debt not more debt,” Haley said at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank. 

                “Trump has not been perfect on these policies. I’ve made that clear, many, many times. But Biden has been a catastrophe. So, I will be voting for Trump,” Haley said.

                Haley joined the Hudson Institute as its Walter P. Stern chair in April. Her remarks at the institute come as she continues to be a significant presence in Republican presidential primary results, despite having suspended her campaign in March.

                “Having said that, I stand by what I said in my suspension speech. Trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me, and not assume that they’re just going to be with him.”

                Biden Admin Threatens To Sue Texas Over Barriers Blocking Illegal Immigration

                  The Biden Administration is taking the gloves off.

                  Biden’s Justice Department is threatening to sue the state of Texas over a new effort to deter illegal immigration.

                  The Department of Justice is threatening to sue Texas over “humanitarian concerns” if it does not remove barriers floating on the Rio Grande River.

                  “The floating barrier poses a risk to navigation, as well as public safety, in the Rio Grande River, and it presents humanitarian concerns,” the DOJ said, claiming that it was “unlawful” for Texas to install the barriers.

                  Governor Greg Abbott tweeted that Texas would not be removing the barriers, saying that they “would see the DOJ in court.”

                  https://twitter.com/karengraham2009/status/1680222749568974848

                  “Texas has the sovereign authority to defend our border, under the U.S. Constitution and the Texas Constitution,” Abbott tweeted. “We have sent the Biden Administration numerous letters detailing our authority, including the one I hand-delivered to President Biden earlier this year.”

                  “The tragic humanitarian crisis on the border was created because of Biden’s refusal to secure the border. His open border policies encourage migrants to risk their lives crossing illegally through the Rio Grande, instead of safely and legally over a bridge,” he added. “Texas is stepping up to address this crisis. We will continue to deploy every strategy to protect Texans and Americans — and the migrants risking their lives.”

                  The 4-foot-wide orange spherical buoys spin if someone tries to grab onto them, according to the New York Post. The barrier can be moved or extended if need be.

                  The latest deterrence method is part of the state’s “Operation Lone Star” program which aims to combat the border crisis caused by President Biden’s catastrophic border policies.

                  Last week, Texas Senator John Cornyn (R) defended the use of the buoys at a news conference, saying Biden had failed to secure the border.

                  “Well, we wouldn’t be having this conversation if President Biden and the Department of Homeland Security were doing its job,” he said. “
