Joy Reid broke out the insulting terms about white people on a recent TikTok rant celebrating Kamala Harris picking Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. Within seconds, Reid said this in otherwise positive language about Sen. Mark Kelly: “He, to me, would’ve been the safest, most conventionally safe pick,” Reid said on TikTok. “White, super white. Like, you know, mayonnaise sandwich on Wonder Bread white, from a border state.” She goes on to say Josh Shapiro would have been the "riskiest pick," and gushes over Tim Walz, as in "Walz are closing in." But if a Fox News host said someone black was comparable to [insert food product here]? Career ender.  Joy Reid refers to Sen Mark Kelly as a “mayonnaise sandwhich” because he’s White. Joy Reid is incredibly racist. Any comment @MSNBC? pic.twitter.com/5ui9iD31ie — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) August 7, 2024 As our intern Michael Wnek has chronicled, this tracks with Joy Reid from about a month ago, where she ripped into Charles Gasparino for writing in the New York Post about Kamala Harris being a DEI pick: Exactly who are you, Charles Gasparino? Like, literally who are you? And what qualifies you to write an editorial about the presidency, even in the dollar-store New York Times, other than you being a white guy?...Now, go off and write about golf, or dancing off-beat, or whatever your actual skillset is, ‘cause you’re not qualified to discuss the vice president. She's doing her black job and has no time for you. I, however, did have time tonight. So, there you go. Reid loves this kind of swaggering talk about Kamala Harris, and she laughed along as former CNN analyst Roland Martin mocked Erick Erickson as the "king of mayonnaise" who is "unseasoned chicken."  MARTIN: And Erick–and Erick, come on. Erick, you the king of mayonnaise, so please, let's not talk about seasoned chicken when you are unseasoned chicken. REID: (Laughs). MARTIN: Please. This sister grew up in the Bay area. She know black folks. After the GOP convention, Reid took to her TikTok and said it would be to vote against Kamala if you were black, or even if you were associated with black culture. The New York Post reported:  “The door needs to close behind Amber [Rose], and she looked crazy over there. But shut the door behind her,” Reid said, reigniting her feud with Rose, whom she criticized after she spoke at the Republican National Convention last week. “She’s racially ambiguous. I don’t want to say she’s black because she has said she’s not, so I don’t want to say ‘this black woman,'” Reid said following Rose’s speech. “This woman who is of whatever race that she has claimed, she’s said she’s not black, but [the RNC] brought somebody whose whole career is based in black culture.”

Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) lit a fire that had only grown larger after he called out his vice presidential opponent Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) for “stolen valor” after he ditched his Army National Guard artillery unit shortly before they deployed to Iraq in 2005. The morning newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC sprang into action Thursday morning as they openly lied about the sequence of events and what Walz had said on camera. ABC’s Good Morning America was arguably the worst as an indignant Selina Wang, their senior White House correspondent, framed the serious criticism and just a desperate attack from a team that was behind. “While Vance is on the road chasing Harris and Walz, Trump is at home…sending Vance to be his attack dog,” she declared. Wang did the ‘Republicans pounce’ meme as she huffed about the Trump/Vance campaign using the Harris-Walz campaign’s own words against them: WANG: Vance accusing his new opponent of lying about his military service, seizing on this moment. WALZ: We can make sure those weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place where those weapons are at. VANCE: What was this weapon that you carried into war given that you abandoned your unit right before they went to Iraq? [Transition] Do not pretend to be something you are not. Keep an eye on the soundbite they used of Vance there, they edited out a critical point which we’ll address shortly. Despite just playing a soundbite of Walz claiming he carried a weapon in war, Wang told viewers not to trust their lying ears. “Walz served in the Army National Guard for 24 years and has never claimed to have seen active combat,” she declared, parroting campaign talking points: “The Harris campaign not addressing Walz’s comments that he carried a gun in war saying only that he ‘carried, fired and trained others to use weapons of war innumerous times…’” “Walz ignoring Vance attacks on the trail. Instead, firing up the crowd,” Wang boasted.     Over on CBS Mornings, chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes framed Vance’s criticism as just the campaign “trying to blunt the Democratic ticket's momentum as enormous crowds turn out for Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Walz at every stop.” Cordes didn’t do any investigative reporting, just regurgitated what the Harris/Walz campaign fed her. “Walz retired from the Army National Guard in 2005 and in a statement, the Harris campaign said, ‘In his 24 years of service, the governor carried, fired, and trained others to use weapons of war innumerable times,’” she said. But, she did play a more complete version of Vance’s comments, she ABC chopped up (as noted above): “He has not spent a day in a combat zone. What bothers me about Tim Walz is the stolen valor garbage. Do not pretend to be something that you're not.” Note the part about stolen valor inexplicably missing. For NBC’s Today, senior Washington correspondent Hallie Jackson tried to defend Walz’s suspiciously timed exit from the National Guard as just a pivot in his method of public service: Walz filed paperwork for his congressional run in February 2005, about a month before reports of a deployment. Harris/Walz campaign officials not clarifying the timing, but framing his decision to pursue politics as a new way to help service members and veterans, the campaign calling him “a tireless advocate for our men and women in uniform.”     None of them did an examination of the timeline of Walz’s retirement. Yes, he filed to run for Congress in February, but his retirement wasn’t until May 17. But nearly two months before that date, Walz’s campaign released a statement (pictured above) addressing questions about a possible deployment the Minnesota National Guard knew was happening. At any point, Walz could have suspended his campaign and called off retirement. He didn’t. The transcripts are below.

NFL safety Damar Hamlin has spoken out about his near-death experience, when he collapsed on the field in early 2023.Hamlin collapsed on the field in cardiac arrest during a Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals after he took a hit to his chest while tackling Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins.After being hospitalized for days, he had his breathing tubes removed and began speaking to family members. Three months later, he was cleared to play again and eventually played five games for the Buffalo Bills in the 2023 season."My mind is free. My spirit is free. My soul is free," Hamlin said as he finally opened up about the incident. "I'm able to think clearly. I'm not hindered by second thoughts of what could maybe happen again."The official diagnosis for the defensive player was a heart stoppage due to commotio cordis, which is caused by a direct blow at a specific point in a heartbeat that then causes cardiac arrest.Hamlin has been assured by specialists that the chance of the scary occurrence happening again is slim, with the player admitting he is trying to push any worries to the back of his mind."Time heals all. That's everything, you know, relationships, life, growth from cardiac arrest," Hamlin told the Associated Press. "It's trauma. It's time that heals all if you allow it to."Hamlin added that he wanted to "grow and let go of the past."Staff said the young player has come back "hungry," with general manager Brandon Beane saying Hamlin's focus has been on winning a job on the team and proving he can make plays.Coach Sean McDermott said the safety has been consistently practicing at a high level, as well."It's fun watching him have fun out there," the coach said. "And you can tell he means business."Hamlin had to endure many theories about his health during his time off — including that he had a vaccine injury — and was even criticized for his attire when he made an appearance at the Super Bowl."Someone was talking about letting go of what was to become what is," Hamlin added. "That's a big part of my mental process as far as progressing into this season."The 26-year-old is currently pushing legislation that would require states to mandate external defibrillators in schools and recreational venues. Ohio recently passed a similar bill."I'm on a mission to get all 50 states to pass that bill as well, and I won't stop until I do," Hamlin concluded. "In the same way that I'm chasing my goals on the field, that's me chasing my goals off the field and always prioritizing my blessings of still having a life. Still being here."Like Blaze News?

The U.K. established a spy agency in 2019 called the Counter Disinformation Unit. Its stated purpose is "to understand disinformation narratives and attempts to artificially manipulate the information environment to ensure that the government understands the scope and reach of harmful mis and disinformation and can take appropriate action." Like the Harris-Biden administration and the Stanford Internet Observatory across the Atlantic, the CDU has leaned on social media companies in recent years to flag and censor supposed disinformation. During the pandemic, for instance, it monitored lockdown and vaccine critics and targeted critics of government policy. Amid calls for review and controversy over its censorious practices, the CDU was rebranded as the National Security Online Information Team. Notwithstanding ongoing concerns over its apparent attempt to replicate the Chinese communists' surveillance regime, the British government has found yet another narrative it would like the NSOIT to cure. 'Keyboard warriors also cannot hide.' Axel Rudakubana, the 18-year-old son of Rwandan immigrants, apparently stormed into a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, England, on July 29 and butchered three girls — Elsie Dot Stancombe, Alice da Silva Aguiar, and Bebe King. Rudakubana also grievously wounded five other children and two adults. The initial refusal of authorities to indicate the attacker's nationality or release his name upon his arrest — apparently customary when dealing with minors who are suspects — prompted many to suspect that he was an asylum seeker captive to a radical ideology. Protests and riots, fueled further by longstanding frustrations with unchecked migration, British Islamicization, coverups, and a failure of assimilation, soon began to sweep the country. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper told Sky News Monday, "There has to be a reckoning." "Those individuals who are involved in the disorder need to know that they will pay a price," said Cooper. "There have already been hundreds of arrests, and we have made very clear to the police they have our full support in pursuing the full range of prosecutions and penalties, including serious prison sentences, long-term tagging, travel bans, and more." While hundreds of rioters have reportedly been arrested, authorities are also going after those whose related posts and comments online are supposedly false or inflammatory. Cooper further emphasized that "keyboard warriors also cannot hide" and will be "liable for prosecution and strong penalties too," reported the BBC. According to the Telegraph, the NSOIT is now being used to monitor social media posts regarding the riots. Peter Kyle, the new leftist government's technology secretary, has asked the NSOIT to track online activity regarding the discussion of the butchered Southport girls and the protests. Silkie Carlo, the director of the civil liberties group Big Brother Watch, told the Telegraph, "There are serious questions as to whether NSOIT is fit for this task, given its chilling track record of monitoring the lawful and accurate speech of journalists, scientists, parliamentarians, human rights advocates and members of the public during the pandemic when they rightly questioned the government’s pandemic management." 'This is '1984' in practice.' "It's worrying to see NSOIT brought into action shortly after its controversial activities were exposed, and before it has been subject to the important independent review the culture committee called for," added Carlo. Carlo subsequently wrote in an op-ed: The explanation of 'internet lies' is a neat way to package the long-term break down in law and order, disintegrating social fabric and simmering racism in our country – and it comes with the very neat response of online censorship that benefits elites who have never really trusted us with free and open access to information online. A government spokesman downplayed the online surveillance and information clampdowns, telling the Telegraph, "We have been abundantly clear — what is illegal offline is illegal online, and it’s right that any thugs stoking violence on the streets meet the full force of the law." "We make no apology for monitoring publicly available content that threatens public safety. The information is flagged up to social media firms when it is likely to have breached their terms of service, and the police when it meets a criminal threshold," added the spokesman. Apparently the NSOIT is not alone in making sure that Britons are sharing only government-approved information online. Stephen Parkinson, director of Public Prosecutions of England and Wales, recently told Sky News, "We do have dedicated police officers who are scouring social media. Their job is to look for [racially inflammatory] material, and then follow up with identification, arrests, and so forth." "People might think they're not doing anything harmful. They are," added Parkinson. "And the consequences will be visited upon them." Fr. Calvin Robinson responded to Parkinson's comments, telling "Blaze News Tonight," "This is '1984' in practice." Regardless of how they've framed such efforts, Robinson indicated further that the police and the government are working to stop information from spreading that "they don't see as true; that we may see as true but they don't." In addition to the British government working harder to control the flow of information online, leftist Prime Minister Keir Starmer has promised a "wider deployment of facial recognition technology." Carlo responded, saying, "This AI surveillance turns members of the public into walking ID cards, is dangerously inaccurate and has no explicit legal basis in the UK." Big Brother Watch indicated that the vast majority of police live facial recognition matches in the U.K. are false positives, meaning "they have wrongly flagged innocent members of the public as people of interest." Daragh Murray, a senior lecturer at Queen Mary University of London, told the Guardian, "There is a clear danger that in responding to a tragedy and public unrest we expand and entrench police surveillance without appropriate scrutiny. Given that the police have responded to disorder and riots for decades, why is facial recognition needed now?" Like Blaze News?

In the first episode of Blaze Media’s docuseries “The Coverup,” Matt Kibbe sought answers to the question Americans are still asking years after the fact: What really happened during the COVID-19 pandemic? More specifically: Where did the virus come from? Why was everyone — from average citizens to the most distinguished doctors and scientists — silenced and censored when they questioned the narrative? What are they hiding? Now in the wake of the pandemic, the same cabal that locked us down and masked us up is trying to avoid answering those questions so they can dodge the consequences. But we won’t stand for that. In episode 1, now available on YouTube, Kibbe met with Stanford professor of medicine Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, one of the most oppressed voices of the pandemic, to get his insider’s perspective. Dr. Bhattacharya’s professional opinions and even his documented research were entirely disregarded and discredited by Anthony Fauci and his accomplices during the height of COVID. In episode 2, only available on BlazeTV+, Kibbe explores how deep the roots of the pandemic industrial complex go. He asks the question: Who is protecting Anthony Fauci, the man who has still not suffered any consequences for the widespread havoc he wreaked on the lives of Americans? - YouTube www.youtube.com In pursuit of the truth, Kibbe partners with the one man in the U.S. Senate who remains relentless in unearthing the answers the American people deserve — Sen. Rand Paul, who is unapologetically cracking down on Fauci during contentious hearings and making every effort to expose obstructive agencies like the NIH and the DOD as well as the insanity behind gain-of-function research. The best way to fight back against the tyranny that led to COVID-19 pandemic is to arm yourself with the facts. And we have the facts.

Members of the far-left voiced their anger on Wednesday after Vice President Kamala Harris told anti-Israel protesters who were interrupting her campaign speech in Detroit to stop shouting. They said her remarks to the small group showed she does not care about the war in Gaza.After Harris initially acknowledged the protesters following their first outburst, the protesters continued to chant that Harris is complicit in the "genocide" in Gaza due to the ongoing war against Hamas. "You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking," Harris then said to a lengthy applause from her supporters. — (@) The clip went viral on X, with far-left groups and others using it as an example to say that Harris will be no different than President Joe Biden on the issue of the Israel-Hamas war, despite now having Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on the ticket."Kamala Harris should be disrupted and protested everywhere she goes," wrote the People's City Council – Los Angeles. "People that defend this are not your allies. Continue to expose the contradictions."Harris has not been clear on whether she supports an arms embargo. — (@) "This is a bad faith response to people who just want to end a genocide," said self-described anti-capitalist Joshua Hill, who has more than 330,000 followers on X. — (@) Peter Beinart, editor at large of Jewish Currents, called Harris' retort "stupid and heartless." — (@) The disruption occurred despite Harris having a brief meeting with anti-Israel activists during which she signaled she was open to having another, more substantive meeting with them about putting an arms embargo on Israel. This caused a huge uproar as it would mark a significant shift with the United States' policy toward the country, and it would be a huge win for the far-left groups that have led violent protests within the United States since October 8, 2023.The backlash to the news was so severe, Phil Gordon, Harris' national security advisor, posted a statement on Thursday to say she has "been clear" that "she will always ensure Israel is able to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups. She does not support an arms embargo on Israel" but will ensure civilians in Gaza are protected. — (@) Gordon's statement prompted more questions as Harris has not been clear on whether she supports an arms embargo as she has not given an interview or answered questions from media since she was declared to be Biden's replacement after he dropped out of the presidential election.The campaign disruption and progressives' anger about Harris' response to it shows groups will not go easy on Democrats when they host their national convention in Chicago later this month. Many radical groups have already promised to have a repeat of the riots that occurred when Democrats in 1968 had their convention in the Windy City.Like Blaze News?

A Texas man is accused of booby-trapping public toilets with pressure-activated explosives, which injured three people. The first attack was reported July 20 at the Wash Tub car wash in Helotes, which is about a half hour northwest of San Antonio. Employees reportedly were able to identify Alden to police because he was a 'regular customer' who used a membership card. A woman allegedly sat down on the toilet at the car wash after which a small explosion occurred. Detectives said a woman was injured but left the location before the police report was made, KENS-TV reported. "The female customer was reportedly very upset and left the location before a report was made," the affidavit states. "The Helotes Police Department responded to the location to take the report and document the scene." Investigators discovered "small, readily available commercial fireworks that are designed to explode when pressure is applied," according to the outlet. Six days later, two more people were injured from booby-trapped toilets at a Wash Tub in San Antonio. A female employee and a young girl were victims of the explosives within minutes of each other, according to the affidavit. Investigators reportedly found remains of the small fireworks in the two bathrooms. Citing a probable cause affidavit, Law & Crime reported that a Wash Tub representative said that on both dates "loud bangs were heard in the bathroom by customers using the bathroom/toilet.” In all three cases, a man was caught on security cameras entering and leaving the unisex bathrooms, sitting in the lobbies of the car washes, watching the bathroom door, and then leaving after the explosives went off, the affidavit read. On Aug. 1, police arrested 46-year-old Paul Moses Alden of Helotes. Alden was charged with arson causing reckless damage or bodily injury, according to police records. His bond was set at $50,000, and he was bailed out the same day he was arrested. Court records show Alden is awaiting indictment. A court date has not been set for his next hearing. Employees reportedly were able to identify Alden to police because he was a "regular customer" who used a membership card. Police reportedly had video of Alden as well as his vehicle and license plate. A Wash Tub spokesman said, "We are very pleased with the quick action of the San Antonio Police Department and the arson investigator working this case. We will continue to fully cooperate with SAPD and the district attorney's office."Both fire and police departments are still investigating the exploding toilets. Like Blaze News?

Intel's second generation of Arc desktop GPUs, the architecture for which is codenamed Battlemage, could be arriving in 2024, beating both AMD and Nvidia to the next-gen punch, if the latest rumors are to be believed. Both AMD and Nvidia's next generation of GPUs are expected to arrive in early 2025, so if an Intel Arc Battlemage release date does arrive this side of the new year, it could greatly bolster the company's place in the graphics card market. Intel's first round of Arc GPUs weren't exactly the immediate best graphics card guide contenders, particularly thanks to their dodgy game stability and compatibility when they first launched. However, after many regular driver updates in the intervening couple of years, they've become solidly reliable options, just without the top-tier performance of AMD and Nvidia's competing offerings. Battlemage, though, is expected to bring a significant jump in performance.
