PBS saluted Kamala Harris for highlighting her bi-racial family background in her convention speech as she laid out her background. Kamala proudly noted her father is Black and her mother is South Asian Indian. During the nationwide city riots in 2020, her father looted her mother's 7-Eleven.

Kamala Harris vowed to sign the so-called bi-partisan border bill defeated by Republicans which allowed a threshold number of illegal aliens to enter. She wasn't much of a Border Czar but Kamala did go to the Mexico border once three-and-a-half years ago. She cut the ribbon at the Grand Opening.

Kamala Harris's campaign advisors did the Sunday talk shows but remained mum about Kamala answering questions from the press. They'll track her down somehow. Fox News reporter Peter Doocy plans to disguise himself as a giant bottle of wine to land the media's first interview with Kamala Harris.

The Dixie Chicks performed the final night at the Democratic Convention Thursday. The trio led the Woke exit from all things Southern. The Dixie Chicks changed their name to the Chicks then Lady Antebellum changed her name to Lady A, and now the rock group Alabama is known as Vermont.

TMZ said Kamala staffers leaked to them that Beyonce and Taylor Swift would be the surprise performers at Thursday's convention, and the rumor spread nationwide. They lied to TMZ to jack up the ratings. There was a big TV viewer letdown when the surprise performer turned out to be Andy Dick.

Chicago drew high praise from the Democratic Convention goers for a great time at the United Center. Yet the vendors outside the arena produced some confusion and even distress. One young delegate thought he was standing in line at the food truck and went home to Nebraska with a vasectomy.

The Democratic Convention ended Thursday after producing many moments to remember. My favorite was opening night when Joe angrily screamed at the nation to embrace joy. The Democratic Convention gave us so much manufactured Joy you could bottle it and use it to wash dishes.

Elizabeth Warren at the convention blasted Big Banks over the financial crash back in 2008. It was caused by government-backed home loans to people who couldn't afford the payments and so naturally Liz called for government aid for home buyers. Liz picked the wrong night to quit sniffing glue. Kamala Harris's 25-year-old step-daughter was seen on TV at the convention in a hunter's cap over her hair tied in a bun, round glasses, with tattoos all over her arms. I fell over laughing as it hit me. You know the Democrats are serious when Harris' daughter is made up to look like Trump's sniper.

Barack Obama ripped inherited wealth in his convention speech after Michelle denounced rich people. They have $200 million in the bank and they're still playing class envy. If I may respond, lottery ticket buyers in La Jolla are advised that if they win to PLEASE act like you've been there before.

Donald Trump spoke at a border event with no bulletproof glass in Arizona Thursday while under an assassination threat. The 61-year-old suspect has a DUI and warrants out for hit-and-run and failing to register as a sex offender. With his record he could get 13-26 episodes as the Golden Bachelor.

Democrat VP candidate Tim Walz brought down the house with his highly personal acceptance speech Thursday. He tends to exaggerate his past combat experience, but some of it was very real. My favorite part of Tim Walz's speech was when he talked about the time he destroyed the Death Star.

President Biden and his family left the Democratic Convention after his speech Monday night and flew out to wine country in Santa Barbara County for vacation. His life of public service is not without value. A friend of mine spotted Joe Biden in an antique store in Santa Barbara Friday, for $800.

Donald Trump traveled to the U.S.-Mexican border in Arizona Thursday to praise the Border Patrol at a thirty-foot-high wall. It's recently been proven to work. The Democrats just built a thirty-foot-high wall to surround the United Center in Chicago and not one Venezuelan made it into the convention.

North Korean dictator Kim Jung Un made a landmark announcement Monday saying that North Korea will set up a tourism bureau and open the Hermit Kingdom to tourism for the first time in 75 years. I only have one word of advice. If they build a Disneyland in North Korea, avoid the Rocket Ride.

NFL pre-season games drew big ratings for Fox but Tom Brady continued to engage in practice-commentary during the games rather than do an actual broadcast and face media criticism. It's working out perfectly for Tom. The Democrats just offered him the top of the ticket in 2032 sight unseen.

The Hollywood Reporter notes the movie Reagan starring Dennis Quaid as the Gipper will open Friday and cover his presidency. It began when he defeated Jimmy Carter in 1980. The election was a choice between a Georgia farmer and a Hollywood movie star, in other words, peanuts or popcorn.

Disney returned to profitability in the 3rd quarter thanks to theme park revenue and streaming services finally started making money. The movie division is a loss-leader. Insiders say Rachel Zegler is so awful in the new Snow White film she had to be re-shot several times, and Alec Baldwin was unavailable.

Variety reported that the movie studios will be releasing a lot of horror movies this fall because kids love to be frightened. Yesterday I informed a teenage kid that if you pour holy water into a humidifier it will turn the room into a gas chamber for vampires. The kid replied, Sir this is a Wendy's.

NASA announced Saturday that the two astronauts stranded on the Space Station by the Boeing Star Liner must stay there un-rescued until February. In a related story, last week there was bad news for the frustrated customers at McDonald's. They just hired Boeing to fix the ice cream machines.

Donald Trump hosted a huge rally in Arizona Friday in response to Kamala Harris's convention speech as both candidates now sprint to the finish line. No one can predict how much destruction and chaos will occur if Harris loses or if Trump loses. But if history repeats itself I am SO getting a dinosaur.

Fox News reported Sunday a panel of Republican lawmakers will visit the Butler, Pennsylvania, site where the Secret Service screwed up Trump's protection. The Trump campaign just installed a new device designed to deflect any assassin's bullets at his upcoming appearances. It's called a Kennedy.

Bobby Kennedy got a thunderous ovation in Arizona when he endorsed Donald Trump at a rally Friday. The two men should work well together. Trump always said he could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and nobody would do anything about it and Bobby Kennedy could hide the body in Central Park.

Telegram founder Pavel Durov was arrested in Paris when he landed from Azerbaijan Sunday for not cracking down on users and installing content moderation on his messenger service. Free speech is over in Europe. Comedy clubs in Paris are the only ones required to have a guillotine on the premises.
