Young Conservatives Loomer and Paulina Luna Decisively Win Primaries In Florida
Despite crowded primary races for both, young conservatives Laura Loomer and Anna Paulina Luna won their primaries in the Sunshine State. Both won decisively — Loomer got 42 percent of the vote in a five-person race, in a district that includes President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago. Luna won 36 percent against four other Republicans.
Loomer has been a controversial activist and candidate — she is banned from CPAC, GoFundMe, Venmo, MGM Resorts, PayPal, Lyft, Uber and Uber Eats. She is banned from most social media sites and yet the 27-year-old won her race handily. The Palm Beach district is heavily Democratic, however, so her November odds appear slim.
Loomer was seemingly banned from Comcast right before her election, not allowing her to send texts or emails. The company alleges it wasn’t the content she was sending, but the third-party apps she used, according to the Palm Beach Post.
Trump retweeted several tweets supporting Loomer and celebrating her victory.
Paulina Luna is an Air Force veteran who will face Charlie Crist in November. She beat all the other Republicans, including Amanda Makki, who was a former aide to Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Ala.).
Like Loomer’s district, Paulina Luna is facing a solid blue district in November. The President congratulated her on the victory last night.

Biden’s 60 Minutes Interview Horrifies White House: ‘Does NOT Reflect the OFFICIAL Position’
Uh oh. Someone let President Joe Biden speak by himself again and damage control immediately ensued. President Joe Biden’s “60 Minutes” interview which aired on CBS Sunday was 60 minutes of pure torture for viewers and 60 minutes of pure angst for the White House; everyone but the president himself.
60 Minutes’ official Twitter account publicly called out the President’s answers with an embarrassing statement that his own administration was in disagreement with him:
“President Biden tells 60 Minutes that U.S. men and women would defend Taiwan in the vent of a Chinese invasion. However, after our interview, a White House official told us that U.S. policy on Taiwan has not changed.”

NEW: Asked on @60Minutes if US would defend Taiwan if it came under attack, Biden — again — says yes.
PELLEY: "To be clear, sir, U.S. forces, U.S. men and women, would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion?"
BIDEN: "Yes."
(WH again says US policy hasn't changed.)

CBS’ Scott Pelley also discussed inflation; an issue drastically affecting the welfare and wellbeing of families. Biden deflected with zero sympathy:
60 Min: "What can you do better to lower inflation?"
Biden: "inflation rate month to month was just up an inch."
60 Min:"You're not arguing 8.3% is good news?"
Biden: "You're acting like all of a sudden 'my God it went to 8.2%'"
60 Min: "It's the highest rate in 40 years." pic.twitter.com/DEwugGct4d

As for President Biden’s son Joe, he is sticking with the narrative that Hunter is the “smartest” person he knows and that “there’s not a single thing that I’ve observed at all that would affect me or the United States relative to my son Hunter.”
Biden also said that while the “proof of the pudding is in the eating” in response to being asked if he is fit to be President, Biden did not commit to saying whether or not he will run for re-election. His “intention” is to run again, “but that’s just intention” he said. “Is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen.”

60 Min: "Are you committed to running again?"
Biden: "My intention, as I said to begin with, is that I would run again. But it’s just an intention. But is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen,” pic.twitter.com/3R3W3I8e9Z
