In years past, the Democrats would have held a fair and open selection process for their candidate. This year, however, seeing Biden's waning support and inability to rally the party, they pushed him aside, thrusting Kamala Harris into the spotlight – down-balloting the ticket.

In the immediate aftermath the tragedy in Butler County, Pa., two things were certain. First, conspiracies would immediately be created to garner attention and clicks. And second, politicians and activists would use the situation to advance their agendas – even if the facts didn’t support what they were trying to sell.

Now, as to Gourdzilla's name, it is true that gourds and squash are both fruits in the Cucurbitaceae family, though they are typically grown and used for different purposes. Squash are eaten, while gourds are made into utensils or decorations. To my thinking, however, Squashzilla does not have quite the same ring to it as Gourdzilla, and so Gourdzilla shall remain the name of the most amazing squash vine I have ever had the pleasure to encounter.

The environmental movement is at odds with itself. The movement’s full-throated embrace of so-called “green energy,” successfully amplified by unprecedented government mandates and subsidies, is leading to habitat-invading and beauty-destroying energy projects at scales that not only rankle onlookers but also those environmentalists still committed to stewardship and conservation—and would shock the founders of the preservation movement.

Whether it is Sy Hersh or some young gun of journalism ready to make his or her name, someone needs to tell the truth about the 10 days that shook the nation, from the moment Trump took a would-be assassin’s bullet on July 13 to the afternoon Biden inexplicably dropped his reelection bid and Kamala Harris was coronated. And the first question that needs to be answered, and which no one in the mainstream media is asking, is “Who convinced Joe Biden that debating Trump on June 27, nearly two months before the Democratic convention, was a good idea?”

Gasoline is about $3.50 per gallon today. In 54 years, if you experience the same inflation, it will be $28.34 per gallon. Of course, some of the powers that be want you to be in an electric car or have all cars banned by then. I saw a new Camaro advertised online for $41,370. Well, that will cost you $344,985.05 54 years hence.

One thing Democrats cannot change is the Biden-Harris economic record: 20-percent rise in prices and skyrocketing interest rates preventing families from buying a home and small businesses from growing.

It is deeply troubling to see the current state of leadership under President Biden, who has become a "single point of failure" as our commander-in-chief. His weakness continues to put America in grave danger as our enemies seek to capitalize from America’s missing leader.

From the onset of the June 27 debate, Biden, 81, struggled, speaking in a weak, raspy voice. He repeatedly tripped over his words and lost his train of thought, often trailing off inaudibly. Mainstream media outlets were forced to acknowledge Biden’s shockingly bad debate performance.

America’s newest swing voters are nearly all from outside of the current GOP base: working non-white voters who are fleeing the Democrats in droves, even without formal outreach from Republican campaigns. Republicans don’t know how to talk to these voters, and nearly nobody is doing it right.

Biden had a favorite line for whenever anyone conveyed concern about his age. He’d often say, “Watch me!” And then for 90 minutes at a debate in Atlanta, they did. That is when the trouble started. His age and diminished mental acuity were suddenly on ugly display as he stood next to his rival, former President Trump.

The choice of a running mate says a lot about the judgment of the presidential nominee and it can increase support for ticket.

Kimberly Cheatle’s resignation as the director of the Secret Service is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to incompetence in government.  

The pair have met face-to-face just six times since the beginning of June, according to a RealClearPolitics analysis of the president’s public schedule.

Iron Dome is an air defense system designed to destroy incoming rockets, artillery and mortars and can also intercept some unmanned aerial vehicles and cruise missiles, in certain conditions.
