Well, there is, but you won't believe it.

Poll: Independents Prefer Trump over Harris for President by Double Digits Independents–by double digits–prefer former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris to lead the country, this week’s survey from the Economist/YouGov found. This survey, which was taken after the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, Illinois, asked respondents a very simple question: “Between Harris and Trump, who would you prefer to have as president?” By a 12-point margin, independents say they prefer Trump to be president rather than Harris. https://d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/econTabReport_29AmKSW.pdf

Any word from the administration ? Israelis Forces Recover the Bodies of Six Hostages, Including One American Citizen by Matt Vespa As Israel’s justified war against Hamas raged, the terror group still held over 100 hostages. Once again, a ceasefire agreement was rejected by Hamas last week. Tragically, Israeli forces made a gruesome discovery this weekend in Gaza: the bodies of six hostages were recovered, including one American (via Axios): Israel Defense Forces recovered the bodies of six Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, including one American citizen, Israeli officials said. Why it matters: The recovery operation took place amid continued efforts to reach a hostage-release and ceasefire in Gaza deal. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2024/08/31/israelis-forces-recover-the-bodies-of-six-hostages-including-one-american-citizen-n2644179#google_vignette

Kamala Harris' CNN Adventure - I Said X, I Now Say Y, My Values Have Not Changed Duane Patterson FTA: I'm sure people within her campaign, on pins and needles the entire time, breathed a sigh of relief that she didn't seize up like the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz. Regardless, it was not a good performance, and reinforced all the concerns people have about her not being ready for prime time. The interview itself was billed as an hourlong affair, but it wasn't much more than 20-25 minutes. Bash was live going in and out of commercial breaks at the quarter hour, and there were plenty of B-roll video packages to help fill the time, and it was all over well before 9:50pm eastern. To Bash's credit, she spent vastly more time on Harris than Walz, and when she did approach Walz, it was to press him for essentially being caught as a serial liar. Literally no one believes her on her newfound religion on fracking. People in Pennsylvania don't believe her, Republicans don't believe her, and the Greenies in the Democratic base don't believe her. You know who else doesn't believe her? Dana Bash. Kamala 2.0 - My values haven't changed, but my positions have for electoral expediency. I don't know how she's going to get away with 'I've been very clear about where I stand, my values haven't changed, but my values have changed if you happen to live in a state I need where my values conflict with yours.' https://hotair.com/generalissimo/2024/08/30/kamala-harris-cnn-adventure-not-convincing-anyone-who-already-doesnt-like-trump-n3793847 .

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis dismisses migrant gang takeover of apartments as ‘imagination’ — despite video, mayor confirming truth by Jennie Taer Colorado Gov. Jared Polis dismissed anger over Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua taking over apartment buildings in the Denver suburb of Aurora, calling it “imagination” — despite video footage, police reports and the city’s mayor confirming it’s happening. Polis’ press office offered the snarky statement Wednesday night in response to Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky — who told The Post the gang’s takeovers are tied to his policies.[Snip]Fox Denver aired surveillance video, which showed an armed gang of men — later confirmed by cops as suspected members of Tren de Aragua https://nypost.com/2024/08/29/us-news/colorado-gov-jared-polis-dismisses-migrant-gang-takeover-of-aurora-apartments-as-imagination/ .

Kamala's First 'Interview' Was the Dumpster Fire You Expected It Would Be by Matt Margolis Did you catch Kamala Harris's first "interview" as the Democratic Party nominee for president? It was pretty much everything you'd expect from an interview conducted by CNN. Lots of softball questions, lots of word salad responses. CNN anchor Dana Bash actually asked some decent questions, but what really struck me about the interview was that Kamala Harris, more often than not, avoided answering most of the questions, and Bash didn't seem to be concerned with getting an actual answer. You knew things were going to be bad when Harris really struggled to give a coherent answer to the cliché question about what she would do on "on day one." https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/08/29/kamalas-first-interview-was-the-dumpster-fire-you-expected-it-would-be-n4932106#google_vignette .
