Republicans just completed a Convention unlike any they've hosted before.  An overall message of unity permeated the week leading up to Trump's speech.  And for the first 30 minutes, Trump carried on that theme.  But then there's the last 60 minutes that should give those who are on the fence about Trump some pause.  The question going forward: is the Trump campaign going to be more like the first 30 minutes or the last 60 minutes?  If it's the latter, the door is open for a party in complete disarray to correct itself and make a charge before November....the Democrats.

We are all guilty.  When the would-be assassin's bullet whisked past Trump's skull, America dodged a proverbial bullet, as well.  We have an opportunity to wake up from what happened yesterday and change the direction of our discourse and thereby the direction of our country.  But it starts with me.  It starts with you.  We are all punished.

President Biden's "big boy" press conference was highly anticipated prime time viewing.  But, in reality, only the final 30 seconds of it resembled anything like a presidential press conference that we are used to seeing.  The other 50 minutes was more like a fireside chat.  Pre-selected reporters asking largely open-ended questions didn't exactly put him on his toes.  The Democrats will lose if he is on the ticket in November.  And this press conference did not knock him out.

Congress reconvenes this week.  Prior to their arrival, Biden writes Congressional Democrats a letter doubling down on his campaign.  He then calls in to Morning Joe to do the same.  The New York Times responds with an article noting a Parkinson's expert has visited the White House eight times in eight months and a 6th House Democrat breaks ranks demanding for Biden to drop out.  The battle for the nomination is heating up and we have not seen the end of it.

I am proud to be an American.  You should be too.  And we should all celebrate our freedom and independence on America's 248th birthday.  But newspapers across the country have articles questioning whether and how we should even celebrate.  I'll discuss the continued fallout from the debate debacle for President Biden.  And how the North Carolina gubernatorial and state races may hinge on one topic: abortion.

Biden bombs.  Trump meanders.  The Debacle of a Debate was an overall embarrassment.  In a debate that viewers cared more about what they saw versus what was said, we saw a lot.  Enough that calls for Biden to withdraw from the race have surged, even amongst Democrats.  But there were things said as well.  Like denying having sex with a porn star.  Felony accusations.  Comments on weight.  And even a comparison of golf handicaps.  Biden supporters are despondent while Trump supporters are elated.  But both feelings may be premature.  Keep Biden, and the Democrats will lose in November.  But Trump did not perform to a level where he would beat a replacement, and that should concerns those popping celebratory bottles today.

The earliest Presidential Debate in history is upon us as President Biden and Former President Trump square off in a CNN studio this Thursday night without a studio audience.  The initial question is why?  I'll share my thoughts and give you a full preview of the issues both parties face leading up to the debate, the topics they are likely to cover, and the potential impact the debate may have on you, the listeners.

I said months ago that Biden should drop out.  As the videos of him freezing and staring aimlessly into space continue to mount, I maintain that stance and believe more are coming around to the idea that he will not be on the ballot in November.  Wake County North Carolina is 1 of 15 bellwether counties in the US per US News and World Report for the upcoming election.  And Caitlin Clark's presence in the WNBA has surged ratings and created controversy.  I'll discuss both and why it has nothing to do with her being white or straight.

The precedent has been set.  A former President has been convicted for felonies.  Trump haters rejoice.  MAGA supporters seethe.  But make no mistake, America lost yesterday.  And July 11th has now become the most consequential day in American history in a very, very long time.  This country is at a boiling point.  And if Trump is sent to prison on July 11th - it will be at a tipping point.   And Independents are stuck once again in the middle.

We are now in Week 5 of the Trump Hush Money Trial in Manhattan.  Haven't been following along?  I got you covered.  But has this political hit job actually hit Trump politically?  According to the polls, no.  It's Election Day in North Carolina but most people have no clue.  And is political correctness starting to wane?  I give you the Tom Brady roast on Netflix as Exhibit A that it is from a public standpoint.
