[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Neighbors rushed to help a Seattle dog walker after she was dragged to her death by a convict during a carjacking.
Ruth Dalton, 80, was viciously attacked by Jahmed Haynes, 48, near Martin Luther King Jr. Way East and Harrison Street in the Madison Valley neighborhood just before 10am on Tuesday.
At the time of the violent attack, Dalton - who started her dog walking business 'Grandma's Critter Care' 35 years ago - had several dogs inside her vehicle that she had just walked at a park.
It was there that Haynes, who has eight prior felonies and a history of mental health issues, pushed the elderly woman into the passenger seat, out of the car, and ran her over before driving away in her vehicle.
On Wednesday, SWAT arrested Haynes at his home and found a bloody knife and keys to Dalton's car, the police said. Just five miles away, cops found the lifeless body of her dog Prince and her vehicle.
Not content with murdering Dalton, Haynes had then tortured her beloved dog to death, police say.
Her granddaughter explained that Dalton had started her dog walking business in 1989 to raise money to help Roberts attend a private Christian school.
'She named it Grandma's Critter Care because she would say "Well I'm Melanie's Grandma... and I take care of all the critters",' she wrote.
'And she did in the beginning... it wasn't just dogs and cats! There were birds, reptiles, and even some ferrets!'
Haynes was previously convicted of hit-and-run vehicular homicide in Seattle in 1993, Fox 13 reported.
He remains in jail and is expected to make his first court appearance soon.
Roberts wrote: '8 prior Felony convictions..... he never should have been out on the streets.'

He's blaming a car crash? I thought he'd blame Trump.

Well, Trump probably got the truck driver who killed his mother drunk, so it is Trump's fault.

On the other hand, Hunter's brother Beau apparently lived an honorable and productive life. Until he died of a brain tumor. So how come Beau didn't live a debauched life?

"He ruled that they could not discuss the possibility that Hunter was paid by foreign governments, that he was paid for any acts his father Joe Biden took as Vice President, and whether he funneled any money to Joe."
President Trump is refusing intelligence briefings because the Deep State continues to try and sabotage him:

Trump should put RFK Jr in charge of the CIA. Once he reads the files on the Kennedy assassination (or finds they were shredded after the election) he'll clean house with extreme prejudice.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Donald Trump has branded revised jobs data released on Wednesday as a 'massive scandal' - after it was revealed the US economy created 818,000 fewer jobs over the last year than originally reported.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the jobs growth data for the 12 months to March was actually 30 percent less than it's initial figure of 2.9 million.
The update, which is based on a more detailed quarterly source, was the largest downward revision since 2009 - coinciding with the global financial crisis.
The figures suggest the labor market started cooling sooner than was originally thought.
Trump accused the Biden-Harris administration of being 'caught fraudulently manipulating job statistics to hide the true extent of the Economic Ruin they have inflicted upon America.'
Revisions of jobs data are done every year, and these figures are not the final numbers, which are due to be released early next year.
Concerns over a slowing labor market triggered a market sell-off earlier this month amid fears the US economy is heading toward a recession.
Job growth in the US badly missed expectations in July and the unemployment rate jumped to the highest rate in almost three years.
Employers added 114,000 jobs last month, which was far below the Dow Jones estimate of 185,000.
The unemployment rate also edged higher to 4.3 percent - the highest level since October 2021.
'We knew when there was a delay that the numbers weren't going to be good,' said Rob Wilson, President of Employco USA, an employment solutions firm.
'This is a big miss by the Labor Department, said Rob Wilson, President of Employco USA, an employment solutions firm.
'For this to happen during an election year is particularly egregious.
'We will never know how much these inaccurate numbers impacted the election, but it's very troubling to know that false data influenced Americans' voting decisions,' he added.
Other economists said the revisions were not a 'shock', given some of the estimates were for a larger decline.
Goldman Sachs economists said they expected jobs growth for the year to be at least 600,000 weaker than the estimates - and that the decline could be as much as a million.
Before the report, the initial figures indicated an average of around 242,000 jobs added per month during the year to March 2024.
Now the monthly pace is more likely to be around 174,000, which is still considered a healthy rate of hiring, Bloomberg reported.
'The revisions aren't a shock, given the estimates were for one million fewer jobs,' Robert Frick, corporate economist with the Navy Federal Credit Union, said in a note.
'This doesn't challenge the idea we're still in an expansion, but it does signal we should expect monthly job growth to be more muted and put extra pressure on the Fed to cut rates.'
Markets edged slightly higher after the data was released, as it reinforced forecasts that the Federal Reserve will likely begin cutting interest rates next month.
Traders are now expecting a quarter-point cut in September, which will bring benchmark borrowing rates down from the 23-year high where they have been since July 2023.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell will take the revised figures into account when he speaks at the annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, on Friday.
At its last meeting, the central bank said it is focusing more on the labor side of its dual mandate, which also includes bringing the annual inflation rate down to its 2 percent target.
It's delightfully fitting that on the day the entire financial world was holding its breath for Biden's highly politicized and grossly incompetent Bureau of Labor Statistics to admit it had massively fucked up the jobs data over the past year, that Biden's highly politicized and grossly incompetent Bureau of Labor Statistics fucked up even more.
At exactly 10am ET this morning, the BLS was supposed to publish its annual CES Preliminary Benchmark Announcement revision, an update on how many jobs in the past year were, for lack of a better word, made up (as we reported earlier, it just so happened that the number was 818,000, which was the second biggest annual overestimation of job creation in US history... something that surely was pure coincidence in an election year).
However, 10:01am ET hit... and nothing happened: millions of traders, thousands of economists and countless macrotourists were furiously slamming the F5 key, refreshing the revisions page to see.... nothing change. This went on, and on, and on.... and even though the market actually reacted as if data had been published, it turned out that algos were merely responding to phantom triggers in hopes of triggering momentum ignition up or down. No actual data was reported.

You have to understand. Everything they tell you is BS. Labor numbers? Inflation rate? Danger of a epidemic? They tell you what they would like for you to believe.

The non-governmental labor market is covered by deductions for Social Security reported by employers. Why would any other number be used as a baseline?
[LI] BUSTED. Lying hacks
You cannot hate the media enough. Never forget the media hates you.
PBS host Judy Woodruff "apologized" for falsely reporting Donald Trump pressured Benjamin Netanyahu to delay a hostage deal until after the 2024 presidential election.
Gee, that sounds like something the Democrats accused Trump of doing with the Ukrainian president.
I want to clarify my remarks on the PBS News special on Monday night about the ongoing cease fire talks in the Middle East. As I said, this was not based on my original reporting; I was referring to reports I had read, in Axios and Reuters, about former President Trump having...
Woodruff, like any other media member, didn’t take responsibility.
Woodruff blamed other reports she read...except those reports don’t exist.
In her statement, Judy Woodruff says she was relying on Axios and Reuters reporting, that she just wasn’t aware of the denials from Trump and Netanyahu.
But I can’t find any Axios or Reuters reporting that reflects what she says in the video below. https://t.co/PizRNhsCPN
[RedState] Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has formally accepted the Democratic Party's nomination to be Kamala Harris's vice president, giving the keynote speech on the third night of the party's national convention.
Standing on the stage in Chicago, he spoke to party leaders and voters while his family cried and his son Gus shouting "That's my dad!" as the nominee came on stage.
Walz's speech was a familiar one, hitting many of the same notes he has been hitting since he was selected by Harris to be her running mate in this truncated campaign season. He spoke about their party's policies being "neighborly" - caring for each other, helping folks out, etc. - and criticized his opponents.
But the speech was also notable in that it kept up with the party's talking point of the night.
Walz and several of the other speakers of the night emphasized the idea of hope, joy, happiness, and other positive feelings - what younger voters (and media figures trying to stay cool) call "the vibes" - in their campaign and their party.
Walz even recalled his time spent as an assistant coach, calling the race the "fourth quarter," noting the Democrats had been down but now have the ball
Walz has relied on his military record, time as an assistant coach, and his years as a teacher to help build his persona, and he drew from all of it in the speech Wednesday night.
But he will still be facing several challenges in the coming days. He will face Donald Trump's running mate, JD Vance, in a debate, and Vance has focused on Walz's political record and his record of lying about his service, both of which will fall under more scrutiny when the two meet.
Walz's speech capped off the penultimate night of the DNC, with Thursday being the biggest night yet. Walz's running mate, Harris, will accept her party's nomination tomorrow.

That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian."
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day."
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words—
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester—
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd—
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
[NY Post] Fire her. Now. All the liars.
Social media users trashed President Biden’s Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo for admitting to ABC News on Wednesday that she wasn’t "familiar" with the day’s major revision to the jobs numbers.
ABC News correspondent Kayna Whitworth asked Raimondo what she thought of the jobs numbers revision by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"I am curious as to your thoughts on today the Bureau of Labor saying that more than 800,000 fewer jobs were actually created than initially reported," Whitworth said.
The reporter played a clip of former President Trump talking about the report at his rally in North Carolina on Wednesday. "The administration padded the numbers with an extra — listen to this one — 818,000 jobs that don’t exist. So they said they existed and they never did exist. They built ’em up so they could say what a wonderful job they’re doing," Trump said.
Raimondo appeared to dismiss the news as Trump spreading misinformation and when asked if the revision could be a liability for Democratic presidential nominee and Vice President Harris, she said no.
"No. When I hear that, first of all, I don’t believe it because I’ve never heard Donald Trump say anything truthful," Raimondo said.
"It is from the Bureau of Labor," Whitworth responded.
"I’m not familiar with that," Raimondo said, despite the report having been released several hours earlier.
Raimondo moved on to tout optimism around Harris’ "pro-business" economic vision for the country. Meanwhile, the presidential candidate has been dinged in recent days for proposing what critics, including from the left, described as government price controls on businesses.
Social media users couldn’t believe that one of the government’s top economic officials wasn’t familiar with the news of the jobs report.
National Review senior writer Charles Cooke commented, "This is the Secretary of Commerce."
Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich wrote, "There’s only so much you can fake or hide before things come crashing down. Biden’s decline, cooking the books on the economy, redefining ’recession,’ etc."
"Holy hell. We are governed by idiots," conservative commentator Ned Ryun declared.
Libs of TikTok creator Chaya Raichik wrote, "This is the Secretary of Commerce btw."
Comedian Tim Young stated, "They think you’re stupid."

Pro-business??? Increase the corporate tax rate, tax on capital gains, price controls is "pro-business"? Does she even know what pro-business is?

Yeah, the tax on unrealized gains is my personal favorite. My house increased by $150K since I bought it, so I have to pay tax on that, even if I don't sell. Of course, if the market crashes, and the value drops by that amount, I don't get my money back.

In a perfect world, no way, but in the Perfect Storm of Obama V4.0, MEDIA Complicity and Kamala in the Basement we face, take it as a win!
