Good morning, and welcome to RedState's "Morning Minute" — a brief glimpse at which stories are trending at the moment and a look ahead at what the day may bring. Consider this your one-stop shop for news to kickstart your day.
TOP O' THE MORNIN'
WATCH: CNN's Scott Jennings Blows Up the Narrative of Former Harris Spokesperson in Mere Seconds
As I suggested earlier, if Donald Trump and the Republican Party do what Scott Jennings did to Jamal Simmons, and keep Harris on her heels, November 5 might be "a beautiful thing," as Trump likes to say.
Paris Olympics Camera Guys Are Ordered Not to 'Frame' Women in 'Sexist' Ways
I was done with the Olympics after it opened with bashing Christianity. But the IOC gave me another reason to avoid it with its silly bean-counting equity push.
DeSantis may not have won the Republican nomination this time around, but he continues to be a strong voice for conservative values, and his future looks very bright indeed.
WHAT'S ON TAP?
Today on Capitol Hill...
We've entered the late summer lull on the Hill. The House is out on "summer recess" until September 9. The Senate has a few hearings/meetings set for this week, though none for Monday, and then it too will be out for the remainder of August.
White House What's Up
After a quiet weekend at Camp David, President-in-Name-Only Joe Biden will head to Austin, Texas, mid-day to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act during a visit to the LBJ Presidential Library, followed by a trip to Houston to pay respects to Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D), before returning to Washington, D.C., late night.
Full Court Press...
Monday's the day Biden unveils his proposed Supreme Court reforms. Of course, with Congress essentially out until September and elections looming, one wonders at how much of the soon-to-be-exiting president's declared agenda will be taken up by the legislative body upon its return.
MORNING MUSING
The past couple of days have been marginally less whiplash-inducing in terms of the news — at least on the domestic front. With 99 days to go until Election Day, are we simply experiencing some brief calm before the storm? Likely. I did appreciate the ability to enjoy an afternoon at the pool without having to interrupt it to address a breaking news story for a change. Like they say, it's the little things...
LIGHTER FARE
This is just silly. We could all use some silly.
