WATCH: The Cringe Returns With a Vengeance in Video of Kamala Harris and the Obamas

The press can absolutely keep this up for another three months, and as cringe as it looks to us who know her, there are a lot of gullible voters out there who may once again fall for the "return to normalcy" nonsense Harris is obviously trying to project.

Trump Unloads on Chris Wray After FBI Boss Bizarrely Questions Whether He Was Actually Shot

I'm unclear why there's "some question" when the former president's physician said quite clearly Trump "sustained a gunshot wound to the right ear."

Narrative Killer: NY Times Reports Show Kamala Harris Had Bigger Role Than 'Border Czar'

The only ones with a lower job performance than Kamala Harris these days-- the members of our national press complex.

WHAT'S ON TAP?

Today on Capitol Hill...

Things should be a bit quieter on the Hill today. It's a summer Friday, and there are no hearings or meetings scheduled. 

White House What's Up

It will be a quiet day for President Joe Biden as well. He'll receive the Daily Brief late morning, followed by "a briefing on artificial intelligence from White House staff" mid-afternoon. (Is it me? Or does his receiving briefings from WH staff sound weird?) Then he heads off to Camp David. Man, what a difference a week makes, eh? 

Full Court Press...

A seemingly quiet day in the courts, as well, though you never know when an interesting ruling — or filing — might land. We'll be on the lookout. 

MORNING MUSING

I'm probably going to jinx it by saying (writing) this out loud, but...it almost feels like we might have hit a news lull. It's a Friday in the summer, and not much is going on from the usual quarters and among the usual suspects. Which probably means all hell is about to break loose, I suppose. Well, in the unlikely event that we actually have an uneventful weekend, enjoy, folks!

LIGHTER FARE 

Right?!
