Trump Campaign: CBS Rigged Poll For Kamala

Team Trump is accusing the establishment media of carrying water for the Kamala Harris hype machine. The vice president and anointed Democrat presidential candidate has seen a surprising surge in polling, and the Trump camp says there is a reason for that.

‘Finger On the Scale’: “Trump’s campaign disbursed a memo from a data consultant claiming that a new CBS News/YouGov poll may have been manipulated,” The New York Post reports. “In the memo, a data analyst noted how the most recent poll saw an increase of self-identifying liberals in the sample of registered voters by about 1.7 percentage points relative to a sample used in the CBS/YouGov poll.” The survey result has Harris in a tie with Trump in battleground state average, with Harris up by 1% in a national head-to-head showing. “The Fake News Media continue to help dangerously liberal Kamala hide her record of economic failure and soft-on-crime policies,” Trump senior campaign advisor Brian Hughes said in a statement. “Now, as this analysis shows they’ll even put a finger on the scale of polling to inflate results for her.” Related: Kamala Harris promises more gun control if elected…

Musk: Fed ‘Foolish’ For Not Cutting Interest Rates

As an unsettling new jobs report raised concern over a looming recession, the Federal Reserve decided last week to keep interests rates at its targeted 5.25% to 5.5% rate. X owner Elon Musk says that is a big mistake. “The Fed needs to drop rates. They have been foolish not to have done so already,” Musk wrote Sunday in a post on the social media goliath.

Worldwide Jitters: Meanwhile, a global stock selloff is underway. “Asian markets are poised for losses on Monday as fears of a deeper US economic slowdown roil traders around the globe worried that the Federal Reserve may be behind the curve on rate cuts. Oil climbed on rising tensions in the Middle East,” Bloomberg reports. “US futures dropped in early trading, amid the fallout from heavy losses on Wall Street on Friday and Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s weekend disclosure that it slashed its stake in Apple Inc. by almost half during the second quarter. Contracts indicate that Australian, Japanese and Hong Kong shares are set to drop on Monday. Japanese shares have plunged in the last two sessions on expectations for more domestic interest rate hikes.” Related: Federal Reserve printing press running wild again…

JD Vance: I Take Criticism as ‘Badge of Honor’

Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) is not the least bit discouraged by those who disapprove of his choice to be former President Donald Trump’s running mate on the 2024 GOP White House ticket. “Look, I recognize that there are a lot of folks, even in the GOP establishment and certainly on the far left, who don’t like the fact that Donald Trump picked me,” Vance told Fox News in an interview that aired Sunday.

Not Their Guy: “I actually take their criticism as a badge of honor,” Vance continued. “Of course, the media is going to attack the people they fear the most. The media is going to attack the people, I think, who can most effectively bring President Trump’s message to a broader swath of the electorate…. I’m not shocked that a lot of inside the Beltway media types don’t like me, but their policies are the problem. Of course, they don’t like me because we’re running to fix what they have broken.” Related: Understanding JD Vance…

Zelensky: US-Made F-16s Now Deployed in Ukraine

A key US-built weapon long coveted by Ukraine for its ongoing war with Russia is now in action. Ukrainian pilots have begun flying F-16 fighter jets, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed Sunday. Built by Lockheed Martin, the planes pack a 20mm cannon and can unleash bombs, rockets and missiles.

War Birds: “F-16s are in Ukraine. We did it. I am proud of our guys who are mastering these jets and have already started using them for our country,” Zelensky exclaimed, Reuters reports. “This means that more of the occupiers will be destroyed,” top Ukrainian commander Oleksandr Syrskyi wrote in a Facebook post. “It means a greater number of downed missiles and aircraft used by the Russian criminals to attack Ukrainian cities.” Related: Biden signs 10-year support pact with Ukraine…

RFK Jr. Tells Of Dumping Dead Bear in Central Park

It’s not the usual gotcha story involving presidential candidates. Independent White House aspirant Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Sunday came clean about a New Yorker magazine expose of a rather odd personal experience. In a three-minute video posted onto X, Kennedy admitted that he picked up a young bear that had been struck by another vehicle and killed while he was headed out of New York City on a falconry trip.

He Did It: “So I pulled over and I picked up the bear and put him in the back of my van because I was going to skin the bear, and it was very good condition,” Kennedy says in the video, in which he is talking with Roseanne Barr. “And I was going to put the meat in my refrigerator.” But he had no time to head home so Kennedy decided to ditch the bear. “I said I had an old bike in my car that somebody asked me to get rid of. I said, ‘Let’s go put the bear in Central Park, and we’ll make it look like he got hit by a bike.’” Kennedy did not reveal when the bizarre incident occurred, but a dead bear cub was found in Central Park in 2014, garnering significant media attention.
