The Top Ten Most Embarrassing Moments at the DNC Tonight

I can't believe these actually happened.

🧵 THREAD Image
#10 - Jen Psaki inadvertently drops a joke on herself.

To a HALF-EMPTY room: “Trump and Vance speak to a tiny, tiny portion of the public. And that's a striking thing.”

Look at the room, Jen 😂
#9 - Republican exposes the truth about Biden's exit on CNN.

“Biden is known in his career as being one of the best eulogy givers at funerals. And now they’re making him come and give his own career eulogy.”

“I mean, he was bullied out of this race after 52 years of service to the Democratic Party. And it wasn’t all about his age ... He had to be dragged out by the fingernails. He’s not here in a happy moment, OK?”

“I know this yarn that’s being spun in this hall that he was popular and selfless and handing on. No, no, no. It is the opposite, and everybody knows it.”
#8 - Joe Biden battles the teleprompter and loses.

"Women are now without electrical... not allowed, excuse me, not without electoral (long pause) or political power."

(Biden gives up)

#7 - Whoopsie: Michigan governor accidentally EMASCULATES Tim Walz on MSNBC

GRETCHEN WHITMER: “I love Tim Walz. So, Tim, my daughters were saying to me, you know, 'He's like a male version of YOU, Mom.' And I thought that was so funny.”
#6 - Jill Biden says she watched Sleepy Joe "dig deep into his soul and decide to no longer seek re-election."

Yes, that's totally how it went down.

@TrumpWarRoom #5 - AOC receives a standing ovation for saying a whole lot of nothing.
@TrumpWarRoom #4 - Democrat tries starting a "We love Joe" chant, and it's as pathetic as you would expect.
@TrumpWarRoom #3 - Joe Biden says with a straight face: "We finally beat Big Pharma!" after mandating government-paid COVID shots for millions of Americans.
@TrumpWarRoom #2 - Some random state senator says that Trump "could even weaponize the Department of Justice to go after his political opponents!"

Whoopsie: that's EXACTLY what Kamala Harris and the Democrats have done to President Trump.

#1 - Jake Tapper crushes Joe Biden on live TV, and he doesn't even realize it.

"That fear about [the Democrats'] nominee speaking is gone."

“Joe Biden who would come out and they [Democrats] would sit on the edge of their seat and hope that he didn't say something meandering or off message or addled."

"She [Kamala] is not somebody that in a situation like this is going to cause Democrats that tension that we used to feel in the media, all Americans, when the president would come out and speak."

The dam is breaking.

NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s extremist views and skeletons from his past are now LEAPING out of the closet.

Victor Davis Hanson drops three of the most disturbing ones that have been recently uncovered.

Then he delivered this stunning prediction:

“I guarantee you more will come out every day because he's a pampered, privileged, angry, young socialist-communist.”

🧵 THREADImage
Victor Davis Hanson says the façade is cracking around New York’s radical socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, and the revelations aren’t pretty.

He lays out a portrait of a candidate who, despite a carefully managed public image, has a record steeped in hard-left ideology and contradictions that are starting to catch up with him.

“We've talked before about the front runner in the New York mayoral race, Zohran Mamdani,” he reminded viewers, setting the stage for what he described as a necessary unmasking.

Mamdani’s history of openly embracing Marxist ideas, Hanson argues, is not some youthful indiscretion but a core part of his politics.

“And we've mentioned before that he talked about seizing the means of production, which comes out right out of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels ‘Das Kapital,’ ‘The Communist Manifesto.’”

It’s an approach that extends beyond slogans.

Hanson pointed to a pattern of denying inconvenient truths, like Mamdani’s insistence he never supported defunding the police....even with clear evidence to the contrary.

“We talked about his claims that he never advocated defunding the police, even though there was an extensive social media trail where he advocates just that.”

And there’s the question of targeted taxation. Mamdani’s proposal to focus tax hikes specifically on “Whiter” neighborhoods isn’t just about class....it’s about exploiting racial division, Hanson says.

“He talked about going into richer and Whiter areas and taxing them specifically at a higher rate,” he explained, pointing out the selective language that conveniently skipped over the fact that Indian Americans....like Mamdani’s own family....are statistically among the nation’s highest earners.

“He didn't say, in other words, richer and Indian American. He just use the word white because he was trying to cater himself to the African-American vote.”
That silver-spoon background, Hanson argues, has insulated Mamdani from facing the consequences of these ideas.

He has never needed to find a job or face public scrutiny.

“He has an extensive left wing record and now that he's in the public realm, everything is starting to come out.”

This sense of ideological immunity, he suggests, isn’t just Mamdani’s own making but has roots in the world he grew up in.

He recounted an academic discussion where Mamdani’s father offered an extraordinary historical comparison that Hanson found revealing.

“His father was in a, discussion of, you know, a conference discussion and said that Adolf Hitler's idea for the final solution and many of his, policies toward the Jews came from Abraham Lincoln, the way Lincoln supposedly created or treated Indians on reservations.”

“That's that's crazy.”

It’s these kinds of statements, Hanson suggests, that help explain where Mamdani’s own comfort with extremist rhetoric comes from.

10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried Today

#10 - Alan Dershowitz says he knows “for a FACT” that the Epstein Files are being suppressed to protect powerful people.

“I know the names of the individuals. I know why they’re being suppressed. I know who’s suppressing them, but I’m bound by confidentiality from a judge and cases, and I can’t disclose what I know. But, hand to God, I know the names of people whose files are being suppressed in order to protect them, and that’s wrong!”

@SeanSpicer asked, “Just out of curiosity, without names, are these politicians, business leaders, both?”

“They’re everything,” Dershowitz replied.

This is a HUGE statement because Dershowitz was part of Epstein’s legal defense team.

What he said here just ensured the Epstein story is never going away.

#9 - Scott Adams says he was planning to end his life THIS WEEK, but thanks to testosterone blockers, he is now pain-free from his terminal case of prostate cancer.

“It removed all of my pain, and now I can walk again unaided.”

Scott believes he could live for “something like months to a few years,” but he’s hopeful there’s a breakthrough on the horizon.

“There’s probably something in the lab somewhere that can fix me.”

“I’ve got this little window where the pace of scientific discovery, especially in healthcare, will probably be wilder than it’s ever been before. And I might have, just by luck, just enough time to use that little window to find a way out.”

Praying for the best for @ScottAdamsSays!
#8 - Victor Davis Hanson gives a blunt explanation why the Epstein files still aren't public.

Beck asked him: “What do you think this is really about?”

Hanson replied:

“I think it’s pretty clear now that Epstein had no talent other than blackmail,” meaning he was most likely an asset for one or more intelligence agencies, and those agencies are now being protected.

10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried Today

#10 – CIA whistleblower exposes how intelligence agencies gather blackmail on politicians without them even suspecting it.

You’ll see how this connects to Epstein.

John Kiriakou reveals his superior got a promotion and a medal when he recruited a copy machine repairman.

At first, Kiriakou laughed, but then he realized the brilliance of the plan when he learned that the repairman secretly sent every document from a prime minister’s office straight to the CIA.

How did he do it? By planting a tiny device on the copy machine.

“He [my trainer] said, all of us want to recruit the prime minister. We’re not going to recruit the prime minister. We’re not even going to have access to the prime minister. But the prime minister’s got a copy machine in his office.

“And every once in a while, that machine is going to need to be cleaned and serviced. So you recruit the copy machine repairman. And when he goes in there to make his repair or to clean the drums or whatever, he installs a little device that we give him so that every time somebody makes a copy, it transmits a copy back to the CIA.”

What happened next?

He said, “I got a promotion. I got a medal. I got a photo op with the director. It made my career…”

Because this flow of information was pure leverage for the CIA:

“You know what they’re thinking. You know their next move. You know who their enemies are and who their allies are. Maybe it’s their position on trade negotiations. Maybe the prime minister has a health problem you need to plan for. You never know what might come through,” Kiriakou explained.

“That ONE critical nugget is all it takes.”

That, he says, is EXACTLY what Epstein was to intelligence agencies: someone with access (like the copy machine repairman) who quietly delivered leverage on the world’s elite.

#9 - Bill Nye “The Science Guy” says RFK Jr.’s claims about vaccines and autism have been “DEBUNKED up and down.”

Nye made these remarks after BLOCKING Kennedy, who was sending him “page after page” of material claiming vaccines cause autism.

“He was relentless.”

“I just told him he’s confused causation with correlation,” Nye said.

“Just because somebody got a vaccination and then somebody else got autism doesn’t mean one caused the other. This is science.”
#8 - Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says Ghislaine Maxwell’s “little black book” has over 2,000 names of rich, powerful people, sealed by the court.

Scott Jennings just took on an entire CNN panel of Democrats—and won.

This was a reckoning.

One New York Times reporter tried to frame Republicans as the “party of taking things away” like healthcare.

That's when @ScottJenningsKY unloaded:

“My rebuttal to that would be Democrats have become the party of EXPLODING government benefit programs... and then saying, 'Gee whiz, now people are trying to take things away.'”

He followed up with something about Obamacare that ended the debate on the spot.

Watch all 4 savage takedowns. This is Jennings at his best.

🧵 THREADImage
Scott Jennings didn’t wait for introductions before lighting a fuse on CNN’s panel.

He went directly after Senator Thom Tillis, dismissing his criticism of the GOP’s Big Beautiful Bill as not just wrong, but politically clueless.

“I think he's wrong,” Jennings said without blinking.

“And most—virtually every Republican thinks he's wrong.”

His argument was clear: this was no time for Republicans to apologize for enforcing work requirements or limiting benefits to people in the country illegally.

“There's nothing politically devastating about trying to bar 1.4 million illegal aliens from getting welfare,” he explained.

“There's nothing politically devastating about encouraging 4.8 million people....who choose not to work....to try to work a little in order to get government benefits.”

He reminded the panel that the bill wasn’t just about cuts. It also included a $50 billion fund for rural hospitals, something Tillis himself had raised as a concern.

Jennings laid it out clearly: the GOP had delivered, and they shouldn’t act ashamed of it.

“So I don't agree with his political analysis, nor does virtually every other Republican who helped to craft and ultimately pass this bill,” he said.

“And I think Republicans ought to lean into these things: work requirements are good. Encouraging work instead of welfare is a good thing and it will work in campaigns.”
It didn’t take long for the tension to spike.

Axios reporter Alex Thompson zeroed in on what he thought was a potential vulnerability: the bill’s Medicaid changes wouldn’t kick in until after the midterms.

It was a classic “gotcha” moment—except Jennings didn’t take the bait.

“You say, Republicans should lean in, but most of these Medicaid cuts don't come until after the midterms. Why is that?” Thompson pressed.

Jennings was ready and waiting.

“Well, I mean, states run the Medicaid program,” he replied.

“I do think it's reasonable to give them time to prepare to enact changes to the program.”

Then he turned the tables, accusing Democrats of preparing to weaponize the issue with fear campaigns rather than talk policy.

“But it doesn't matter, because Democrats are obviously going to go all in on this hysteria campaign,” Jennings warned.

His message to Republicans was crystal clear: don’t expect a polite debate....be ready to fight for the argument.

“So if you're running a Republican campaign out there, you're going to have to debate the issue,” he said.

This was his advice to fellow Republicans:

“And I'm telling you as a debating point, if Democrats want to run on giving Medicaid to illegal aliens and people who won't work or choose not to work, Republicans have a counter-message that will work if they are willing to courageously defend it.”

10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried Today

#10 - Tucker Carlson has two theories why Pam Bondi won’t release the Epstein Files.

Theory #1: “Trump is involved.”

But Tucker thinks this explanation is not very likely.

That brings us to Theory #2, which is that Tucker believes the “intel services are at the very center of this story—US and Israeli—and they’re being protected.”

“I think that seems like the most plausible explanation,” Carlson said.

His guest Saagar Enjeti agreed. “That’s the most obvious explanation.”

He explained that the CIA has a long history of “multiple documented cases of ped*philia inside the CIA perpetrated by CIA officers.”

“The only time they actually prosecuted somebody for child p*rnography was when he was already being prosecuted for mishandling classified information,” he added.

“Well, when they want to crush you, they put kiddie p*rn on your computer,” Carlson replied.

The clip ended with a reference to a chilling quote by Former CIA Counterintelligence Official Daniel Payne, in which he said:

On government devices, “the amount of child p*rn I see is just unbelievable.”

#9 - Pam Bondi changes the story on the “tens of thousands of videos of Epstein WITH children.”

BEFORE: Tens of thousands of videos of Epstein WITH children.

AFTER: Tens of thousands of videos of child p*rn were DOWNLOADED by Jeffrey Epstein.

#8 - Trump says it is “unbelievable” that people are still talking about Jeffrey Epstein after all these years.

“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years… That is unbelievable. Do you want to waste the time [answering this, Pam Bondi]?… I can’t believe you’re asking a question on Epstein at a time like this.”

Pam Bondi added, “THAT’S IT on Epstein.”

This two-minute clip shared by @DiligentDenizen captured the full context, and Trump supporters aren’t happy.

Statins Exposed: The Truth Behind America’s Most Prescribed Drug

You’ve heard that cholesterol causes heart disease. But the truth is, it actually helps repair damaged arteries.

Over 40 million Americans take statins for “heart health”—but they may be unknowingly harming their muscles, liver, and nerves in the process.

If someone you love is on a statin, read this before it’s too late.

🧵 THREADImage
Cholesterol was never the villain.

The idea that it clogs arteries like grease in a pipe? That’s Big Pharma marketing. Not science.

In truth, cholesterol repairs damaged blood vessels. And lower cholesterol is actually linked to higher mortality.

Let that sink in.
Now, prepare to have your mind blown and forget everything you’ve ever been told about cholesterol.

@MidwesternDoc is shining a light on the lies and the growing statin crisis. Image
