For those who don’t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to dig through a week’s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed. Just one week has passed since the Democratic Party ousted President Joe Biden from the 2024 ticket and essentially coronated Vice President Kamala Harris to be his successor — and while questions are still mounting about Biden’s true condition and why he ultimately agreed to step away from the campaign, there are bigger questions surrounding Harris and her qualifications and whether her own party believes she has the ability to win against former President Donald Trump. While all of those questions are valid — and pressing, as the Democratic Party’s Chicago convention is fast-approaching — one other burning question has bubbled to the top: if Harris is at the top of the 2024 ticket, who will get second billing? In an effort to field some of those questions — and perhaps posit himself as the answer to the last one — Transportation Secretary and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg sat down with “Fox News Sunday” anchor Shannon Bream for a truly dizzying twelve-minute interview.

That’s the playbook of ruling parties in autocratic states. “You know the optics of this,” Bream went on to prompt Buttigieg to explain how he addressed voters’ concerns that the party wasn’t listening to the people. Buttigieg sidestepped the question entirely, instead delivering a short speech on how “remarkable” it was that “in a matter of days” — and after being told by the party that they would be offered no other choice — Democrats had rallied around Harris. He then claimed that despite the obviously top-down nature of her anointment, there was “extraordinary energy” brewing “from the ground up” around Harris’ week-old campaign. “You actually have gotten more delegates, though, than she has,” Bream pointed out, referencing Buttigieg’s failed 2020 presidential bid and noting that Harris, who also ran, never won a single delegate on her own merits and even dropped out of the race before the end of December 2019. Bream also quoted a former Harris staffer who worried about the vice president’s “coronation” and said that she had not been “tested and tried” as a candidate on her own. The Transportation Secretary vaulted over that question as well, claiming that her experience as the vice president was all the testing that was necessary. “She is in one of the most visible leadership roles in the country,” he said, leaving out recent Democrat and media efforts to put some serious distance between Harris and the disastrous outcome of her highly “visible leadership role” as Biden’s hand-selected border czar. Buttigieg went on to claim that “most Americans already agree with” Harris — despite her well-documented history as the “most liberal Senator” and a voting record that skewed left of even Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders. Buttigieg then attempted to steer the interview away from Harris so that he could attack former President Trump, but Bream brought it back around to Harris and whether or not she should be held responsible either for her failure to see that Biden was flailing or for her apparent willingness to help hide it from the American people. Once again, Buttigieg ignored the question and said, “Joe Biden is good at being President.” The results, he argued, spoke for themselves — although it’s likely that the poll numbers saying that the American people largely disapproved of his job performance and that they’d rather he be replaced on the ticket were not the “results” he meant. Instead, Buttigieg relied on debunked claims that Biden had created more jobs than Trump or any other president when most of those jobs had not been new jobs but rather had been people returning to work in the aftermath of the COVID pandemic. He wrapped up his point by claiming that Biden had made the “selfless” choice to take himself out of the 2024 race as if high-dollar donors and powerful party bosses hadn’t strong-armed that decision out of him. He then chalked up Biden’s obvious and rapid decline to the fact that he was a little bit older before pivoting to suggest that Trump — who just two weeks earlier stood up and raised his fist, after taking a bullet, to tell the crowd he was all right — was in no better shape than Biden. And that was just the first five minutes.

After befriending a dolphin, this woman gained a whole new level of trust when the aquatic mammal brought her baby for a visit! Robin Lindsay lives right by a canal, so she often gets a front row seat to local wildlife. One of those critters is a dolphin she’s dubbed “Mr. Wiggles.” However, she’ll probably be changing honorifics now that she’s realized the animal is a mother! Robin caught the most adorable footage of her dolphin friend swimming over with her baby in tow. This Florida resident couldn’t have sounded more excited as she watched mother and child in the water! “Did you bring me your baby?” she cooed. @robinleeisme Our canal is full of feeder fish , so we get a daily visit from Mr . Now Mrs Wiggles . We have become fast friends and today i gor thr treat of my life ! #dolphins #babydolphin #floridawildlife #ruskinjauhrvatskoj ♬ original sound – Robin Lindsay According to Robin’s post, this creature comes by her house nearly every day! “Our canal is full of feeder fish, so we get a daily visit from Mr. now Mrs. Wiggles,” the woman wrote in her social media caption. “We have become fast friends and today I got the treat of my life!” Commenters thought that this video of the local dolphin stopping by with her baby was way too precious. “To say you’re a Disney princess would be an understatement,” one user said. Another joked, “There’s a dolphin distribution system????” In a later update, Robin shared that she’d given the dolphin’s baby a nickname of their own: Sprinkles! She caught an adorable clip of the little animal emitting a tiny squeak in the water. @robinleeisme Ms Wiggles came by w Sprinkles and we heard sprinkles squeak ! #babydolphin #floridawildlife #dolphinsounds #animalsoftiktok ♬ original sound – Robin Lindsay It’s a pretty huge compliment that this dolphin trusts Robin around her baby! Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen an animal show off their kids to a human friend. A woman on Reddit shared the most adorable story of her relationship with a local crow who eventually brought her children over for a visit. We love to see wholesome animal-human friendships like this! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Jeff Zucker may be gone, but CNN still can uncork editorials that sound like speeches by Democrat politicians on the floor of the House or Senate. On his Sunday show, CNN host Fareed Zakaria began by offering deep appreciation of President Biden, followed by a warning that Donald Trump should not return to the presidency. The joke is "Did Fareed plagiarize a Democrat politician for this speech?" Domestically, Zakaria weirdly proclaimed that our times have been defined by tax cuts. It's amazing how the Clinton and Obama presidencies are treated as insignificant so that Biden's Carteresque turn can be hailed:  ZAKARIA: President Reagan, Bush and Trump all enacted large tax cuts that broadly benefited the rich. America that can be characterized by private opulence and public decay. $100 million homes in a country where the roads are scarred by potholes and children die at higher rates than any other country in the industrialized world. These tax cuts, by the way, along with spending on wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, are responsible for much of America's enormous federal debt. Biden changed this narrative. He used the resources of the federal government to make large investments in infrastructure, child care, manufacturing, and energy.  Just like during the Reagan years, liberal commentators blame deficits only on tax cuts and defense spending, and burgeoning entitlements never matter. Then Zakaria hailed Biden's feckless foreign policy:  "He has addressed the challenges presented by the return of Russia and a rising China, but done it not through solo actions or one-shot deals. The administration has strengthened America's alliance system, bolstering NATO and adding two new members to it, Sweden and Finland. Similarly in the Indo-Pacific, it has built new structures of cooperation and deterrence with Japan, South Korea, India, Australia, and others." Biden strengthened NATO mainly by letting Russia invade Ukraine again, which did not happen on Trump's watch. Ukraine is on fire and Hamas attacked Israel, and we're handing out laurels to Biden? He didn't even touch on the Afghanistan withdrawal fiasco. Once again, it's like hailing the new Jimmy Carter.  Then came the final flagrant flourish about "decency and dignity," as Biden accused his opponents of being "Jim Crow 2.0," or more flagrant segregationists than the Democrat segregationists that he palled around with in the Senate in the 1970s. On his Sunday CNN show, @FareedZakaria hailed: “The final legacy of Biden is that he has returned the presidency to an office of sanity decency, and dignity” and to “close the chapter on Trump” he decided to not run “which will also earn him a special place in the history books.” pic.twitter.com/IWEn2FHOJb — Brent Baker ?? ?? (@BrentHBaker) July 28, 2024 ZAKARIA: The final legacy of Biden is that he has returned the presidency to an office of sanity, decency, and dignity, ushering out the dangerous demagoguery and anti-democratic rhetoric and behavior that preceded him. But for that legacy to endure and for Biden's term not to simply be a moment in time, he needed to ensure that the United States actually closes the chapter on Donald Trump and to help make this more likely, he made the painful decision not to run for the presidency, which will also earn him a special place in the history books. Joe Biden has felt that he has been underestimated all his life. Judging by his tenure in the White House, he's right. CNN or Zakaria should really be paid for this endorsement speech. 

There he was, Edward Green - an immortal god brought down under the weight of his own gravity and a length of rope from the local supply store. The once-blossoming tree in his atrium - his own personal Eden - a charred husk barely hanging in there like a prize fighter down to his last legs. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Green was murdered, and in Nobody Wants to Die there’s only one man with a worldview cynical enough to see through the layers of high society bullshit obfuscating the truth - detective James Karra.

Working together, supply-side conservatives and populist conservatives can forge a pro-growth, pro-family, pro-work, anti-woke, and America-first tax code.

DeSantis Brings Reality Check to Media Over Kamala Lovefest: She's 'Vapid,' 'Owns' All Biden's Policies

In a move that shouldn’t surprise anyone, Apple Intelligence will not be ready for iOS 18. Instead, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that we’ll have to wait until iOS 18.1 to take advantage of Apple’s suite of AI features. Specifically, we can expect Apple Intelligence to arrive sometime in October, a few weeks after the iPhone 16 launches. As a frame of reference, Apple’s iPhone 15 launched on September 22 of 2023, with iOS 17.1 dropping on October 25th. A similar timeline is to be expected this year. It's unfortunate that the public will have to wait a few weeks for some of iOS 18’s snazzier features, but developers will reportedly get access to Apple Intelligence features with a new iOS 18 developer beta sometime this week. The delayed rollout of Apple Intelligence will provide the company with more time to iron out bugs and ensure a smooth rollout at launch. So what Apple Intelligence features will be available when the iPhone 16 arrives? Unfortunately, the list isn’t extensive and includes features like on-device indexing based on data from emails and apps, genmojis, tighter Siri integration with applications, and the ability for Siri to glean pertinent information from items like photos, calendar events, and text messages. More intriguing Apple Intelligence features, like Chat GPT integration, will either arrive at the end of 2024 or, in some instances, a few months into 2025. How Apple will implement ChatGPT on the iPhone On a related note, it's worth mentioning that ChatGPT integration with Siri won't be turned on by default. Rather, users will have to proactively toggle the feature on. Additionally, users will not need a ChatGPT account to use the service. According to reports, neither Apple nor OpenAI exchanged any money on the partnership because each has something to gain from the other. Apple believes the tight integration will provide more value to users and perhaps spur upgrades. OpenAI, meanwhile, believes Apple's massive user base will drive more ChatGPT subscriptions once users get a taste of generative AI. While the implementation of ChatGPT remains to be seen, early reports suggest that it will not be running in the background. Rather, users will be prompted with an alert every time certain queries are made, as illustrated by the photo below. Siri will pass information to ChatGPT with your permission. Image source: Apple Inc. Incidentally, Apple's share price has been on a rampage as of late. This is largely due to the belief that Apple Intelligence will spearhead an upgrade supercycle. What devices can run Apple Intelligence? Apple typically makes sure that its latest features run on older iPhone models. But Apple Intelligence is different. According to Apple, only the iPhone 15 Pro models and above will be able to run Apple Intelligence. As for the iPad, only the M1 iPad Pro, M1 iPad Air, and later models can take advantage of Apple Intelligence. Similarly, only M1 Macs and above will be able to run Apple Intelligence. These requirements are likely due to memory issues and to ensure that the features run smoothly and don't bog down a device. To this end, Apple executive John Giannandrea said the following during an appearance on John Gruber's Talk Show Live: The inference of large language models is incredibly computationally expensive. It's a combination of bandwidth in the device. It's the size of the ANE and it's the oomph in the device to actually do these models fast enough to be useful. You could, in theory, run these models on a very old device. But it would be so slow it would not be useful.
