SDA has a lot of readers living in Ontario. We know how excited you all are to have Kamala Harris speaking in Toronto! Some cynical people might suggest that ticket prices are rather steep, but how much is brilliant wisdom and insight worth to you? I, for one, say it’s priceless and, let’s face it, there is no more eloquent speaker in the world today than Ms. Harris.
If that question seems insane, welcome to Old Orchard, Maine:
A Maine reserve police officer arrested by ICE for allegedly trying to buy a firearm illegally has agreed to leave the country, the agency said.
Jon Luke Evans, a reserve officer with the Old Orchard Beach Police Department, and a Jamaican national, was arrested on July 25 with help from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), according to ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).
Evans was taken into custody after a firearm purchase attempt raised concerns tied to his immigration status.
Remember all of the usual suspects repeatedly telling us that Defund the Police made sense and that allowing people to steal up to $950 was a smart way to reduce crime? Well, some of them seem to have woken up to the fact that they’ve been completely wrong all along.

To no one’s surprise: A veteran career intelligence officer who spent more than a decade working for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee repeatedly warned the FBI—beginning in 2017—that then-Rep. Adam Schiff had personally approved leaking classified information to smear then-President Donald Trump over the now-debunked Russiagate hoax.
They can run. But they cannot collect their pay.
HOLY CRAP! The Texas House is REVOKING the automatic check deposit ability of ANY Dem who didn’t appear solely to break quorum.
They have to appear on the grounds to obtain their pay.

For some time now, I’ve been following Anton Daniels on YouTube. He is super based and his videos are very insightful. In this one he features videos from some welfare queens, one of whom actually said this: “Get off your throne of entitlement” – says the woman who feels entitled to the extreme. Talk about IRONY!!!
An American Leftist visits Japan. Stupidity ensues.
Please tell me, dear readers, how a person can visit Japan and conclude that the Democrats are doing everything correctly in the big American cities.
DC police commander placed on leave over ‘deliberately’ falsifying crime data;
The police union has accused Pulliam of deliberately falsifying the data, and claimed that police supervisors in the department have been manipulating crime data to make it seem as though violent crime has fallen considerably in the district compared to 2024.
Fraternal Order of Police Chairman Gregg Pemberton said, “When our members respond to the scene of a felony offense where there is a victim reporting that a felony occurred, inevitably there will be a lieutenant or a captain that will show up on that scene and direct those members to take a report for a lesser offense. So, instead of taking a report for a shooting or a stabbing or a carjacking, they will order that officer to take a report for a theft or an injured person to the hospital or a felony assault, which is not the same type of classification.”
Pemberton said that command staff at the department is focusing on two categories to get the numbers down: injured person to the hospital and armed with a dangerous weapon.
Isn’t it interesting that Democrats were all onboard with the Watergate investigation but now that “their side” is being investigated, all we hear are cries of “what’s the big deal?”

You know the cliche about Russia being a “riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma”? This is looking like a cover-up of a cover-up of a cover-up. Recap coming, but those interested in the core material can download it below.
Victor Davis Hanson – New details emerge on Obama’s role in Russiagate scandal.
Joe Biden’s former chief of staff comes (mostly) clean;
The committee pressed Klain on everything from Biden’s use of sleep aids, which some allege contributed to his debate fiasco against Donald Trump, to internal White House preparations as the president’s faculties slipped. He revealed that by the time Biden was prepping for the catastrophic June 2024 debate, the president was exhausted, “out of it,” and much more fixated on NATO than on the basic duties of American leadership. The man running for reelection seemed more like a figurehead than a commander-in-chief.
Klain’s testimony echoed the bombshell revelations recently chronicled in the media and insider accounts. He recalled an atmosphere where decisions were being rubber-stamped by a handful of unelected aides while Biden faded further into the background. Klain described a president whose memory for names and events was alarmingly poor and declining rapidly. Still, the inner circle propped him up and kept the American people in the dark. In his words and actions, Klain demonstrated that the “internal concerns” within the Democratic Party were not mere rumors but were rooted in firsthand observation and secret backroom discussions.
The former chief of staff also detailed how top Democrats, including Hillary Clinton and Jake Sullivan, expressed serious doubts about Biden’s fitness well before the 2024 election disaster. Sullivan supposedly told Klain that Biden was clearly less effective in 2024 than he had been just two years earlier, an astonishing admission from the very heart of the Democratic establishment. These misgivings didn’t just come out of nowhere; they bubbled up as it became impossible to ignore Biden’s “tired and ill” demeanor ahead of his head-to-head with Trump.
Perhaps even more striking, Klain didn’t indulge the media’s desperate attempts to shift blame to ageism or distraction. He reportedly told investigators that he saw no reason to question Trump’s own mental acuity, a subtle but unmistakable rebuke of the left’s favorite whataboutism over the past half-decade.

Why haven’t they learned? Arrogance? Stupidity?
Political upstart assemblyman Zohran Mamdani stunned the political world last month with an upset defeat of former governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary. What was even more stunning, however, was that Cuomo made every major mistake in his mayoral campaign that Kamala Harris did in her presidential campaign. He clearly did not learn a single lesson from the presidential race of only eight months ago, and as a result he lost, 56 percent to 44 percent, to Mamdani.
I wrote prior to Kamala Harris’ formal anointment as the Democratic presidential candidate that the then-vice president was the weakest candidate Democrats could have chosen. I believed, up until now, that if any of the other major contenders (except for Joe Biden of course) had been nominated instead, they would not have run the failed campaign Harris did, and we as a nation would have been spared a second Trump presidency. However, after watching Andrew Cuomo lose, it occurred to me that I may have been very wrong to assume other major Democrats would not have made the significant unforced errors that cost Harris the election.
Why do I say that? Because there were a number of incredibly obvious lessons to learn from the Harris campaign’s failures, and yet a proven Democratic political figure like Cuomo clearly did not learn them.
Megyn Kelly and Matt Taibbi carefully go through the massive scandal that is Russiagate.
