The release of special prosecutor Jack Smith’s new evidence against Donald Trump made one thing absolutely clear: Rudy Giuliani’s incompetence may have been what saved the country. Giuliani, while working on Trump’s behalf to get Congress to NOT certify the election results, accidentally texted his plan for Congress to the wrong number, which then prevented Congress from getting the plan. Had this not happened, January 6th could have turned out very differently.

Not long ago, Donald Trump promised to release his full medical records to prove that being the oldest presidential nominee in history wasn’t that big of a deal. And now that we’re a month away from the election, the media is calling him out for failing to do so. Voters have enormous concerns about Trump’s fitness – both physical and mental – and releasing those records could go a long way to easing fears – or confirming them.

Tim Walz, without even doing anything, has managed to drive Republican House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer insane. Comer is abusing his power to launch an investigation into Walz’s connections to China, and right before the recent Vice Presidential Debate Comer sent a subpoena to the Department of Homeland Security for information about Walz. This investigation will end the same way that all of Comer’s other investigations ended, which means he’ll look like a complete fool again.

Donald Trump’s dumpster fire of a campaign is now burning through cash faster than money can come in. For the past two months, the campaign has spent more than it brought in, dropping Trump’s total amount of cash on hand to a little over $230 million (which is still a lot, but not nearly as much as the Harris campaign has.) The biggest problem, however, is that Republicans have no idea where Trump is spending the money.

Republican Senator JD Vance likely didn’t do himself any favors in the vice-presidential debate against Governor Tim Walz on Tuesday evening. Vance repeatedly refused to answer questions and lied throughout most of the debate. At one point, he was so angry about being fact checked that he attacked the moderators before they ended up cutting his microphone. But it was his refusal to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election that really raised eyebrows

Donald Trump is getting absolutely trashed for spreading lies about the Biden Administration’s response to Hurricane Helene. And it isn’t just the Left that’s going after him – Republicans are having to come out and debunk his lies, too. Trump has claimed that the Biden administration is doing nothing and not even taking calls from Republican-controlled states, but the truth is that Biden has been on the phone constantly and offering whatever aid is needed for ALL states impacted.

Sometimes it isn’t exactly clear if Kellyanne Conway wants Donald Trump to win the election or not. During an interview on Fox News this week, Conway said that she tried to taunt Trump into doing another debate with Kamala Harris, even though he completely botched it the first time. But if Trump can’t even convince his friends that he’s not a coward, then he has no hope of convincing the public.

Republicans in the House are growing increasingly concerned that Donald Trump’s demands of them are going to lead to “galactically stupid” consequences for them in November’s election. Trump is still demanding that they shut down the government, and if they don’t, they fear that he’s going to go on the rampage against them – which could be just as costly in November!

Republican Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer sunk to a new level during a recent interview on Fox News when he decided to go into an attack on Tim Walz’s family, including his children. Comer attacked the children as part of the justification for his investigation into Walz, whom Comer believes is being “groomed” by China. These kinds of attacks used to be completely off limits, but this one wasn’t even a blip on the media’s radar.

Donald Trump only has a few days left before he can sell his shares of Truth Social (officially the Trump Media & Technology Group stock), but the whole thing could end up being completely worthless by Friday. The stock closed a little over $13 per share last week, then dropped even further during trading on Monday to close to $12. This is a sinking ship, and Trump won’t be the one left without a life preserver.

There is absolutely no winning with Donald Trump. Following the incident at his golf course on Sunday, Trump told a rally crowd this week that both President Biden and Vice President Harris called him and were very nice, and then he said he wished that they hadn’t been so nice to him – apparently it makes him feel bad to be a jerk to them after that. But he continued on with his jerkish behavior nevertheless.

Republican Senator John Kennedy made headlines this week when he went into a massively racist line of questioning with a Muslim woman who was testifying before a Senate Committee on racism on college campuses. Kennedy appeared to prove her point about rampant racism by repeatedly implying that she supported terrorist organizations, but he shocked the entire room and drew audible gasps from the audience when he concluded his time by telling the woman to “hide your head in a bag.”

Republicans in the House failed to get a budget bill passed on Wednesday evening because they wouldn’t remove the SAVE Act that Donald Trump has been pushing for. Now Trump has gone ballistic and is demanding that Republicans shut down the federal government at the end of the month. Mitch McConnell had previously said that doing so would be “politically stupid,” but Trump is telling Republicans that now is the time to be stupid.

Donald Trump had a major meltdown early Sunday morning about mail-in voting. He immediately got on Truth Social to complain about the US Mail service admitting that they are running way behind on getting mail-in ballots delivered, which Trump immediately claimed was election interference. The irony is that HE created this mess four years ago on purpose, and he seems to have forgotten about that.

Rudy Giuliani got blasted by a federal judge in New Hampshire on Monday when the judge dismissed Giuliani’s defamation lawsuit against President Biden. Giuliani was suing the president for claiming that Giuliani was pushing out talking points from Russia last year, and he sued in New Hampshire because he thought it would be a friendlier jurisdiction. The judge saw right through it, and said in the ruling that Giuliani “utterly failed” to prove that the case should take place in that state.

The “affidavit” from an alleged ABC staffer has been released, and it is filled with problems related to its credibility. But while the media and politicians attempt to determine what’s real and what isn’t, they are all missing the biggest point: The conspiracy theory itself makes no sense. ABC stood to gain absolutely nothing, but potentially lose millions, by helping Kamala Harris.

At a time when Donald Trump can’t afford any slip ups, his campaign made a massive unforced error this week during a photo op at Arlington National Cemetery. The former president appeared to take some pictures and lay a wreath, but now reports suggest that this whole incident may have been illegal. Making things even worse is the fact that his staff got into a fight at the event, and they then doubled down on the attacks after everything ended.

Once again, past comments by Senator J.D. Vance have come back to cause chaos for the Trump campaign. This time, it was comments that he made on a podcast in 2021, where he claimed that people that don’t have children are “disturbing” to him. Comments like these are absolutely killing the Trump campaign with voters, and it doesn’t look like there is any end in sight to Vance’s horrible comments from the past.

Conservative radio host Erick Erickson has had enough of the “Trump Cult,” and he blasted them during a recent segment on his program for attacking anyone that doesn’t “hump” Trump’s leg. At one point, he grew so irate that he exclaimed “screw you people” after he talked about how he had probably given more money to Trump than any of them. This is a crack in the support for Trump, even if Erickson still says he’ll vote for him.

Donald Trump went even further off the deep end this past weekend, ranting on Truth Social like a complete lunatic. At one point, he even asked how Kamala Harris even has a “right” to run for President, suggesting that she is somehow an illegitimate person. These attacks are going to continue to get more unhinged and more panicked as his campaign keeps failing.

Staunch Trump ally, and former Fox and Newsmax host, Eric Bolling had an epic meltdown that he felt the need to post to social media. His meltdown was supposed to serve as a warning to Donald Trump, but it came across more as a very public nervous breakdown. During a profane video rant, Bolling exclaimed to Trump that “we’re losing!” and then proceeded to complain about the fact that Fox News got crushed in the ratings by MSNBC last week during the Democratic convention. There are plenty of meltdowns to go around among Republicans these days.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has reemerged from whatever cave she’s been hiding in for the last few weeks to spread more lies and hatred towards Democrats. This time, her anger and lies were directed right at Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Greene claimed supports the idea of abortion right up until the moment of birth. That has never been a thing in this country, and it has never even been an idea that Democrats have pushed or supported.

Donald Trump just can’t stop himself from lying all of the time, even about things that don’t matter. This week, a reporter asked him a simple question about what he’s doing to prep for his upcoming debate against Kamala Harris, and he replied that he’s not really doing anything to prep for the debate. But his campaign had already previously confirmed that they had pulled in Tulsi Gabbard to help with his prep, so we know that he’s just lying to make himself look tough and not like the scared little boy that he is.

House Republicans released their long-delayed impeachment inquiry report on Monday (to coincide with the start of the Democratic Convention) and they clearly admit that the President did not commit any crimes. HOWEVER, they are still recommending impeachment because they claim that the family traded on their name to get business deals (which they even admit isn’t technically a crime.)

During a recent interview, Donald Trump’s nephew Fred Trump III suggested that his uncle could be suffering from dementia – just like his father and grandfather suffered from. The family medical history is not working in Trump’s favor, and the mental lapses and cognitive issues with Trump are well documented and actually getting worse.

Just when you think that J.D. Vance can’t get any dumber, he goes and proves you wrong. During an appearance on Fox News this past weekend, Vance compared Kamala Harris to Jeff Epstein, and the internet had a field day with it. Vance seems to forget that his running mate, Donald Trump, was not only listed on Epstein’s flight log and once was the target of a lawsuit from one of Epstein’s victims – but Trump is also currently flying around on Epstein’s old plane!

Marjorie Taylor Greene appears to have dropped off the face of the map. Aside from a few posts on social media attacking Democrats – which easily could have been from her staffers – Greene has disappeared from conservative media. No interviews, no speeches, no random appearances where she’s acting like a lunatic on camera. NOTHING. Are Republicans trying to hide her as the election appears to be slipping further away from them?

Americans from all across the political spectrum were shocked and appalled by Donald Trump’s reality-defying posts on Truth Social throughout the day on Sunday, and even some of Trump’s own supporters admitted that he is losing his mind. The posts were nothing short of insanity, and could easily be evidence of a severe mental illness. Nevertheless, not a single major media outlet was talking about it on Monday morning – the either moved on or completely ignored it.

A new survey appears to have confirmed that Donald Trump could not have picked a worse running mate than J.D. Vance. A majority voters say that Vance is not only “weird,” but also “anti-woman,” and that’s just the tip of the iceberg that the Trump campaign is running into. Voters dislike virtually everything about Vance, and he’s definitely dragging the ticket down.

Donald Trump is about to get his lawyers in a heap of trouble after it was announced that he is suing the Department of Justice for $100 million over the execution of the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago. The judge overseeing the documents case – Judge Aileen Cannon – has already ruled that the warrant was executed correctly and legally, which means there’s already no case. His lawyers who file the suit will undoubtedly be sanctioned as a result.

Current and former Republican officials are now begging Donald Trump to fix his campaign before he sinks the entire Republican Party. That’s not a small ask, especially considering the fact that Trump becomes increasingly unhinged as he continues to sink in the polls. Trump is his own worst enemy, and there’s virtually no way to get him to stop being who he is.

Unlike Donald Trump, Kamala Harris took some time and weighed her options before picking her running mate, and her announcement on Tuesday morning was met with overwhelming approval (unlike Trump’s pick of J.D. Vance.) Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will now be on the ballot with Harris in November, and she couldn’t have picked a better running mate to shore up any weaknesses that her campaign may have.

Donald Trump has spent years telling us that President Biden is too old to do the job, and now he’s probably wishing that he never made that claim. Another new poll has found that a majority of voters believe that Trump is too old to be president, and too mentally unfit to hold the job. These are the same attacks that Trump leveled against Biden, and now they are coming back to bite him.

Nothing is going right for Donald Trump, and he’s losing his mind as a result of it. For the past week, every new poll that has come out has delivered more and more bad news, with the bad news seemingly getting worse with each new poll. It is time to face the reality of the fact that the only reason Trump was even competitive in the first place was because people were tired of President Biden, and now that he’s out, voters are energized and happy, and that’s horrible for Trump.

Because J.D. Vance is doing such a horrible job of cleaning up his “childless cat lady comments,” the campaign has decided to put him on the shelf and instead send out his wife, Usha, to smooth things over. Usha Vance did an interview that aired on Fox & Friends on Monday morning where she wrote off her husband’s misogynistic attack on women, but her assurances are being undermined by JD’s insistence on repeating the statements over and over again.
