Actual billionaire and respected former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg continues to use his wealth to fund educational enterprises:  speaking at the National Medical Association, a group that advocates for Black medical professionals, Bloomberg announced a $600 million donation to a number of historically Black medical schools.

CBS News reports that Howard University College of Medicine, Meharry Medical College and Morehouse School of Medicine will receive $175 million each, while Charles Drew University of Medicine & Science will receive $75 million.  Xavier University of Louisiana will get $5 million for a medical school it is in the process of establishing.

The funding is part of Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Greenwood Initiative, named after the predominantly Black neighborhood wiped out during the Tulsa massacre of 1921, to decrease the racial gap in access to education and ways to build wealth.

“He is the biggest booster in the whole country for unlimited refugee resettlement,” neo-hysterical Project 2025 promoter Stephen Miller screams.  “That means under the Harris-Walz plan, they’re going to turn the entire Midwest into Mogadishu.  That’s their plan.  That’s their policy.  I don’t think there’s a market for that in the United States of America.”

…The couch story has been debunked repeatedly. The person who made up the story admitted that “In terms of media literacy, and those kinds of things, I guess I was already in the mud rolling around." That is not exactly a good fact source for your VP acceptance speech.

Just for the record, Turley is having a little bit of trouble with the truth himself in bitching about Walz mocking his Orange Warlord’s chosen favourite, Jaydee. Walz said ” That is if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up. So… You see what I did there?” and not “he really did that.”

Arizona fake Trump 2020 elector Loraine Pellegrino appears to have entered a guilty plea for her participation in disgraced former President Trump’s failed attempt to remain in power, the second defendant in the case to cave to prosecutors following Jenna Ellis, Politico’s Kyle Cheney reports.

The Harris-Walz campaign on Tuesday announced their haul since announcing the Minnesota governor had joined the ticket is now $20 million and counting, CBS’s Scott MacFarlane reports.

Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will make their first joint appearance in Philadelphia on Tuesday. Video from outside the event taken hours ago shows the line to get into the venue stretching for blocks and blocks from Dem voters eager to attend the rally.

A new Marist/NPR/PBS national survey finds Vice President Kamala Harris leading convicted felon former President Trump by 51 to 48 percent in a head-to-head and 48 to 45 percent in a full field matchup with Russian assets Robert F Kennedy Jr, Jill Stein, and Cornhole Cornel West included.

The polling team at Marist write “Regardless of whom they support, registered voters divide (48 percent to 48 percent) as to who they think will win the presidential election. Trump previously had a 20-percentage point advantage over Biden on this question. 52 percent of independents currently believe Harris will be victorious,” which is a bigger deal than you think. Just the mere belief that this race is a tossup and not Trump’s to lose is a huge boost for Harris in turnout over Biden.

“What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST President in the history of the US, whose Presidency was Unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamabla, Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and others on the Lunatic Left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the Nomination, beginning with challenging me to another DEBATE. He feels that he made a historically tragic mistake by handing over the US Presidency, a COUP, to the people in the World he most hates, and he wants it back, NOW!!!” posted convicted felon former President Trump on Tuesday, still going with “Kamabla.”

What a great way to tell everyone how not afraid he is, that Harris “STOLE” what was rightfully Biden’s – but what he actually means was Biden being his opponent was rightfully Trump’s. That’s really what he feels like has been “STOLEN” here, and is the real “COUP” in his addled mind.

Utah Gov Spencer Cox on Tuesday responded to concerns raised by the attorney for a death row inmate set to be executed Thursday morning, assuring the lawyer that the lethal injection will be conducted in a safe and professional manner so no need for delay, the Utah News Dispatch reports.

“The Department has gone above and beyond in planning and preparing for Mr Honie’s execution. It is my understanding that the majority of concerns in your request were previously raised in court. In fact, in reviewing these concerns, the court found the Department has provided Mr Honie with more than the law requires,” Cox wrote to lawyers repping Taberon Honie, who was sentenced to death in 1999 for the savage murder of his ex-girlfriend’s mother while three of the woman’s grandchildren were in the home. Honie also confessed to molesting one of the kids before he left the home.

The lawyers, who had complained that the state’s plan for the execution and the preparations in their bid for the delay, are just doing their job, but they should understand that the death row team at the prison are doing theirs too. Do they think those guys want to fill out a shit ton of paperwork and sit for hours of depositions if Honie spends his last moments foaming at the mouth and thrashing violently due to a bad cocktail coursing through his vessels? Jeez, just give them a chance. Plus if the prison fucks something up there’ll be plenty more billable hours to be had.

FBI agents at the very least seized electronic devices and may have raided the home and/or office of complete dipshit Tennessee MAGA Congressman Andy Ogles within the last week, WTVF reports.

Details remain murky, but Ogles is a scumbag who has screwed around with campaign finance filings and well as raised about $25,000 for a memorial garden to his son who died stillborn but never ended up building it. “I’m not going to confirm or deny that there was a search warrant issued,” Ogles’ lawyer G Kline Preston IV told WTVF. Local law enforcement in Maury County, Tennessee – where Ogles lives – said the FBI had executed a search warrant recently, but did not say where it was or any further details other than that it was right after last week’s primary in which Ogles fairly comfortably survived a challenge from fellow Republican Courtney Johnston.

Dem donation platform ActBlue processed at least $10 million in contributions since news first broke that Vice President Kamala Harris had picked Tim Walz as running mate, per ObservableHQ.

No Jews allowed at the top of the Democratic Party.

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 6, 2024

The sycophants of self-proclaimed “christian” Donald Trump want everyone to believe Tim Walz was chosen because he wasn’t a Jew like Pennsylvania Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro, another leading contender for the VP slot on Kamala Harris’s ticket, and they’re pulling out the big anti-Semitic guns to promote the Trump-proclaimed evangelical JD Vance ticket.

For the record, the Trump-Vance ticket marks the 41st consecutive time the GOP has nominated to white, self-proclaimed “Christian,” alleged straight males to their ticket minus the one time in 2016 when they had a nutcase from Alaska on their ticket to say, “Hey, we have a woman in the Party, too!”

The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 rebounded partially Tuesday after the “KAMALA CRASH” on Monday did not end up being the start of the second Great Depression, CNBC reports.

“Still haven’t seen any Trump or Lake ads here in Maricopa County. Almost every commercial break during the Olympics has a hagiography for Harris or Gallego. I’m not worried about current polling but I’m starting to feel that we’re missing the opportunity to define them for low-info voters before they get a positive impression of them” – The top comment on a Townhall.com podcast episode titled “Defining Kamala,” in which dickwad Kurt Schlicter complains about Republicans fretting over the Trump campaign’s failure to “define” their new opponent over the last two weeks, calling them a bunch of pussies for squirming endlessly over Donald’s demented race-based attacks on Harris.

The podcast is brutal (click here for a direct link if the paywall blocks you), could only get through about six minutes of its 20 minute length. Basically Schlicter says Trump was right to seize on Harris being both Black and Indian because that means she’s a phony, therefore she has been defined.

Lol. But going back to the comment itself, it’s amazing how a nerdy, Cook Political Report-level concept of “defining” has been MAGAstreamed to the regular, everyday internet wankers in the right wing media universe. And its percolation down to those dregs – a lot of it driven by Trump himself when on Saturday he told his fans “We have to work hard to define” Harris – is almost certainly a byproduct of DC-class Republicans and the MSM having given Team Orange about a two-week window to “define” her, a window that was going to shut hard when Harris picked her running mate.

Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan on Tuesday informed both parties in disgraced former President Trump’s trial that the fat bastard’s sentencing date is still set for September 18th.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin on Tuesday commanded his government to create a program for overseas promotion of “traditional Russian spiritual and moral values,” the AP reports on what we understood to already be a thing with their infiltration and corruption of the Republicans and other conservative political parties in the western world. Plus the trolls too.

Convicted felon former President Trump’s campaign on Tuesday reacted to the news that Vice President Kamala Harris had picked Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate in a statement saying “Hamas Harris bent the knee to anti-semitic, anti-Israel radicals on the Left by leapfrogging [Pennsylvania Gov Josh] Shapiro. She chose someone as dangerously liberal as she is.”

Our guess is they had also prepared a statement saying “Hebrew Harris has bent the knee to her globalist husband (((Doug Emhoff))) by leapfrogging Midwestern Christian Tim Walz. She chose someone as dangerously loyal to Soros, the Rothschild family, and the Elders of Zion as she is.”

Tim Walz said George Floyd was murdered.

This is false.

Walz is just another BlueAnon fake-news hack.

No question about it from the political genius who was primaried out of office after his state’s GOP establishment ran a successful hit operation with successive waves of evidence of cross-dressing and naked romps with other men. George Floyd’s death will be a solid line of attack against Vice President Harris’s running mate pick going into this November’s apocalyptic election, especially considering that he was actually found guilty of murder in a court of law.
