..."The #Biden administration has boasted of the record number of new #businesses created since Biden and #Harris took office. There have been 19 million new business applications in that time. Harris said she and Walz are setting a goal of 25 million new business applications in their first term. Their plan, they say, is to “kickstart…more young, small."...
"As has been the case since he first rode down that golden escalator nearly a decade ago, Donald Trump continues to be graded on a curve by our national media."
"While it was just six weeks ago that another presumptive nominee was forced out of the race due to concerns about his advanced age and declining mental acuity, the mainstream media no longer seems all that interested in the other party’s 78-year-old candidate sundowning before our very eyes."
"So it turns out that reporters do not hold a universally applied principle saying that presidents and presidential aspirants should be constantly assessed for their mental capacity. That was just a Biden thing, because reporters create a unique set of criteria to judge each candidate, always claiming that they are applying the same standards to all."
“'We have a damaged, delusional, old man who again might get reelected to the presidency of the United States,' Mike Barnicle, who served as a longtime columnist for The Boston Globe and other newspapers, said on Morning Joe early Wednesday."
"The #Biden administration on Wednesday announced criminal charges, the seizure of internet domains and sanctions related to #Russian#disinformation efforts to influence the #US presidential #election.
Attorney General Merrick Garland said the actions relate to #Russia’s use of state #media to enlist unwitting #American influencers to spread #propaganda and disinformation."
The #SupremeCourt Tues cleared the way for the #Biden admin to strip millions of #HealthCare dollars from #Oklahoma over its refusal to direct patients to info about #abortions — a federal req that the state says would be at odds w/its strict #AbortionBan. Last yr, the Biden admin diverted $4.5M from OK’s #FamilyPlanning prgm, which primarily serves #LowIncome or #uninsured patients.

Later in the interview, #Trump returned to the shooting unprompted, focusing blame on President #Biden & MVP #KamalaHarris.
“I think to a certain extent it’s Biden’s fault & Harris’ fault. And I’m the opponent. Look, they were weaponizing govt against me, they brought in the whole DOJ to try & get me. They weren’t too interested in my health & safety,” he claimed w/o evidence.
On August 13 President #Biden toured #cancer#research#facilities at Tulane University in New Orleans and deemed the developments "incredible."
Why it matters: ⭐️He announced about $150 million in federal awards during the visit as part of his #cancer "#moonshot" initiative that aims to ❇️cut the cancer death rate in half by 2047. ❇️
The big picture:
"We are the land of possibilities," the president said, adding that the funding will help get new tools into operating rooms.
Nearly 2 million Americans are diagnosed with solid tumor cancers each year, and #surgical#removal is often the first step in their treatment, the White House said.
Tulane is getting $22.9 million to invent 💥new imaging systems that will allow surgeons to see in real time if they removed all cancer cells while their patients are still under anesthesia. It currently can take days to weeks for doctors to know if all of a tumor has been removed, according to J. Quincy Brown, the lead researcher on Tulane's project called MAGIC-SCAN. 💥The goal is to get that down to 10 minutes within the next five years, he said.
Zoom out: Seven other teams are working on additional developments geared at making #tumor-#removal#surgeries more successful.
The awardees are Dartmouth College, Johns Hopkins University, Rice University, University of California in San Francisco, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of Washington and Cision Vision in California.
Speaking at a news conference of top officials, #Zelensky said he had no intent to permanently annex the region and will present his plan to President Joe #Biden — along with presidential candidates Kamala #Harris and Donald #Trump — this fall.
“The main point … is forcing #Russia to end the war,” Zelensky said. “We really want justice for #Ukraine. And if this plan is accepted — and, second, if it is executed — we believe that the main goal will be reached.”
“Can't have a Palestinian speaker but we will give you #Republicans, every type of war criminal, a sex pest former president, billionaire parasites, and a white q-an*n sheriff raving about how effective #Biden / #Harris have been at expanding the white-supremacist #police state.”
