In the first month since Vice President Kamala Harris replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee, the Harris campaign has outspent former President Donald Trump’s campaign by at least $47 million in digital ads and more than $20 million in ads on digital streaming services. An analysis from The Daily Wire found that, between July 25 and August 23, the Harris Victory Fund and Harris for President campaign spent $27,388,780 on Meta ads, while the Trump National Committee Campaign spent just $2,631,466, according to the platform’s ad library. The Harris campaign also targeted battleground states, with the top five being Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Georgia. The Trump campaign targeted Pennsylvania broadly, Wilkes-Barre and Harrisburg specifically, as well as Atlanta, Georgia, and Bozeman, Montana. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW!

The Trump campaign spent just $5,393,600 and targeted Michigan, North Carolina, Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. Though Trump spent less, his top targeted states are considered battlegrounds this year, while the Harris campaign spending millions in California, New York, and Washington – all reliably blue states, won’t do anything to help her win but could add to her popular vote total and fundraising efforts. Democrats and their media supporters have attacked the electoral college as backward and in need of fixing – because it gives states with populations smaller than California and Texas a say in who governs them nationally. By seeking additional votes in California, New York, and Washington, Harris is setting herself up to win the popular vote, something she can point to if she ends up losing the presidency because she wasted money on spare votes in blue states. The Harris campaign has also outspent Trump in Google ads. The Harris campaign has spent $18,933,100 and primarily targeted California, New York, Washington, Texas, and Massachusetts – again focusing on several states that will already vote for her. The Trump campaign, meanwhile, has only spent $2,197,800 and targeted California, Texas, Florida, New York, and Georgia. Harris has also benefitted from alleged “bugs” by Google. For a period in July and August, Google’s auto-generated search suggestions wouldn’t auto-complete for information about the attempted assassination of Trump. And searching for Trump, in general, would provide articles about Harris. In congressional testimony, Google said this was a “bug.” Harris’ campaign was also caught altering news headlines in Google searches to make the headlines appear more favorable for her. It’s not just digital ads where the Trump campaign is falling short. For a brief time after Biden dropped out, Republicans aired more ads than Democrats nationwide except for a few counties, mostly in Michigan and Wisconsin, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. But that’s all changed now. The Harris campaign is outspending Trump on ads running on digital streaming platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, and Peacock, as well as connected TVs like Roku, according to the Financial Times. The Harris campaign has spent $56 million on these ads, while the Trump campaign has spent $30 million. Future ad buys also favor the Harris campaign. The campaign has reserved $370 million to spend on ads after Labor Day, including $170 million for television ads and more than $200 million on digital streaming platforms, ABC News reported.

Trump also has a smaller war chest than Harris, thanks to legal fees eating into his campaign funds following Democrat lawfare against him. Even before Biden dropped out, the incumbent’s campaign was spending more than Trump, according to POLITICO. Trump has instead relied on earned media through live appearances at rallies across the country. This doesn’t mean that the Trump campaign isn’t going to increase spending, nor does it include money spent from outside groups, but it should be concerning to Republicans hoping to retake the White House in November. Neither Trump’s nor Harris’ campaign responded to requests for comment on the ad strategy.

Jake Bley’s mom, Nikki, passed away when he was 24 years old. She had leukemia, a form of cancer. At the time of her passing, Jake and his siblings each received their own box of things. These items were chosen by their mom, and they were specially chosen for each of them. Devastated by his loss, Jake didn’t open up the box immediately. In fact, it took him 10 years to take it home. But once he did, he quickly became inspired to get a tattoo in honor of his late mom. There were a few items placed in Jake’s box, including about 20 handwritten diaries. These diaries go as far back as when Nikki was a child. But one of them was from the year Jake was born. Better yet, there is an entry from the very day that Jake was born. What she wrote that day was simple: “Only a little fellow.” But finding these words meant the world to Jake. So much so, he decided to get a tattoo with the sentence in his mom’s handwriting. @jakebley TW: GRIEF. I know shes watching over me. #Tattoo #Grief #griefjourney ♬ BIRDS OF A FEATHER – Billie Eilish So, on the 10th anniversary of Nikki’s death, Jake took a day off work so he could get his very first tattoo. He shared this moment online where it quickly went viral. Grief is something we can all understand, so seeing Jake honor a lost loved one in this way resonates with so many.

Being nice there’s pageantries, being kind is deeper,” Jake shares. “You can say something to someone that they may not like hearing, but you’re being kind. It’s a lot more about intent. Kindness goes a lot further, kindness builds trust. And I trusted her wholeheartedly.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster died on May 29, 2019, and was buried within days in a grave on the property of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles monastery in Gower, Mo. She was buried without any embalming or other treatment of her body, in a simple unsealed wooden casket. Following the exhumation of the body of Sister Wilhelmina on April 28, 2023, for the purpose of moving her body into the Abbey church for interment, it was discovered that her body did not exhibit signs of decomposition that would normally have occurred after nearly four years of burial under the conditions described above. On May 24, 2023, as the Bishop of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, I commissioned a team of local medical experts to conduct an examination and evaluation of Sister Wilhelmina’s body. The team was led by a Doctor of Pathology, who was assisted by two other medical doctors and a former Missouri county coroner. In addition to examining and evaluating the mortal remains of the deceased, the team inspected the casket, and interviews were conducted with eyewitnesses to events immediately preceding the burial in 2019 and the exhumation in April 2023. In the final report, the investigative team noted that the condition of Sister Wilhelmina’s body during the examination was notable for a lack of any detected features of decomposition. The lining of her casket had completely deteriorated, but her habit and clothing showed no features of breakdown. The report also noted that the related history of Sister Wilhelmina’s death and interment does not describe conditions that would be expected to protect against decomposition. The investigative team was only able to conduct a limited examination but still concluded that “the condition of her body is highly atypical for the interval of nearly four years since her death, especially given the environmental conditions and the findings in associated objects.” Along with the evaluation by medical experts, additional tests were soon conducted on the soil in which the burial took place. After analysis, no unusual elements were found which would have impacted the condition of Sister Wilhelmina’s body when it was exhumed. In conclusion, within the limits of what has been observed during this time, the body of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster does not appear to have experienced the decomposition that would have normally been expected under such previous burial conditions.
