#9 Delta Wants Crowdstrike to Pay After Its Outage Left Planes Grounded and Travelers Stranded at Airports - Michelle Del Rey for Independent, and Mario Nawfal on X

Delta has allegedly retained a high-profile law firm in a potential move to sue Microsoft and cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, which launched a failed update that caused the airline to cancel thousands of flights this month and left travelers stranded. In a statement to The Independent, CrowdStrike said: “We are aware of the reporting, but have no knowledge of a lawsuit and have no further comment.” According to CNBC, Delta retained Boies Schiller Flexner to represent the airline in an effort to sue CrowdStrike and recuperate some of the funds it had to dish out to angry passengers this month after the outage brought the airline’s operations to a near standstill...


 

#8 Amazon Liable for Recalled, Hazardous Products Sold Online, US Agency Rules - Sarah Fortinsky for The Hill, and Law360 on X
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) ruled on Tuesday that Amazon bears legal responsibility for the recall of more than 400,000 hazardous products sold on its website by third-party sellers that were packaged and shipped by the company.  In a unanimous vote, the CPSC deemed Amazon a “distributor” of the defective products sold through its “Fulfilled by Amazon” program, making the e-commerce giant legally responsible for the safety of the products. The commission also determined the products present a “substantial product hazard.” Amazon did not deny the safety hazards of the products, but the company argued it was not the products’ “distributor” and, therefore, should not be liable for the product’s safety...

#6  FEC Complaint: Biden-Harris Campaign Committed ‘Unprecedented Violation’ of the Law - Katie Pavlich |for Townhall, and Charlie Spies on X

A complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission last week by Citizens United and a number of state Republican Party chapters, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are accused of violating federal law in the hours after Biden dropped out of the 2024 race for the White House on July 21. "This complaint is filed pursuant to 52 U.S.C. § 30109(a)(1) against Kamala Harris (FEC DI P80000722), Harris for President (f/k/a Biden for President) (FEC DI 00703975), and Keana Spencer, in her official capacity as Treasurer, for an unprecedented $96 million violation of 52 U.S.C. §30116(f)," the complaint, submitted July 24, 2024 states. "Importantly, Biden and Harris were not their party's nominees for President and Vice President, respectively, for the 2024 general election at the time this all happened. Notably, there also is no record on the FEC's website that Biden filed any paperwork with the Commission announcing that he was no longer a candidate for President, as other candidates do when they withdraw from a race.'"

In a letter sent to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Monday evening, 18 Republicans demanded a leadership change at the Department of Defense Education Activity, or DoDEA, which operates schools globally for the children of U.S. service members, after a watchdog report revealed the agency was pushing DEI, social justice activism, and sexually explicit materials...


 

#3 Yes, Kamala Harris Ran Biden’s Utterly Disastrous Efforts To Increase Mass Migration - Todd Bensman for The Federalist, and on X

Okay, fine: Vice President Kamala Harris never held an official government title called “border czar.” But the media fact-checkers and partisan fans who have zeroed in on separating her from that euphemistic title — as though this silly contest over rhetoric absolves her of responsibility for the worst mass migration crisis in American history — does not cut the anchor line.   The president of the United States assigned Harris to “lead the effort” of the administration’s signature border security strategy, the main one he chose above all others, for ending mass illegal immigration over the southern border. That strategy was to alleviate the so-called “root causes” spurring outmigration from its most common sources — Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, also known as the Northern Triangle...

Incumbent Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer has lost his reelection campaign to fellow Republican Justin Heap, according to projections from the Associated Press. Richer, one of the elected officials responsible for administering elections in Maricopa County, has become a pariah on the right to defend election integrity after several Republicans, including Donald Trump, Kari Lake, Abe Hamadeh, and Mark Finchem, claimed election tampering when they lost their respected races in 2022...



 

#1 HUGE: Trump Goes There — Republishes Post That Links FBI to His Assassination Attempt - Jim Hoft for The Gateway Pundit, and X

Less than three weeks ago, President Donald Trump barely survived an attempted assassination at his political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. President Trump and two other supporters were injured in the gunfire. Another Trump supporter, Corey Comperatore, was killed by the would-be assassin. Since that time, the media has swept this historic event under the rug. And there is now evidence that the security team assigned to his rally were lackluster at best and even worse! We now know that the Secret Service would not allow communications with local police prior to the shooting...
