Elections bring out the very worst in celebrities.

Every four years we get a crush of videos demanding the plebes vote their way or it’s the end of democracy. In 2016 “Save the Day” gathered “Avengers” alum, including Robert Downey, Jr., to warn us that a Donald Trump presidency would be the end of everything (except energy independence, apparently).

The worst might have been white Hollywood’s 2020 response to Black Lives Matter.

The “I Take Reasonability” clip redefined cringe for a new generation, as white celebrities bowed down to the Identity Politics cult in serious, black-and-white confessions. Try looking at “Breaking Bad” alum Aaron Paul the same way after watching his portion of the video.

So much White Privilege.

Then again, what happened this week could technically be worse.

“White Dudes for Kamala” fundraiser gathered some pretty famous faces to stump online for the vice president turned presidential candidate.

They shared her litany of legislative success stories, leadership on protecting Americans from violent illegal immigrants and more.

Just kidding.

They played the gender and race cards against themselves. “Please don’t cancel me!” “We’re doing as we’re told!”

The “dudes” in question? “Lord of the Rings” alum Sean Astin. Actor Josh Gad, the voice of Olaf the snowman. Singer Josh Groban. Comedian Paul Scheer of “The League” fame. And, shockingly, Jeff Bridges.

Yes, that Jeff Bridges.

Et tu, Dude?

“I qualify, man. I’m white, I’m a dude, and I’m for Harris.”

Yes, the level of intellectual gamesmanship soared off the charts during the exchange. How could it not, with Biden sycophant-turned-Harris sycophant Mark Hamill joining the fray.

The gathering may be atoning for their collective White Privilege, but their real privilege is economic. They all can survive the inflation surges sending millions of blue-collar Americans scurrying for cover on Harris’ watch.

Their affluence protects them from soaring crime rates across the country, fueled by soft-on-crime Democrats like … Harris. 

She’s gone on record supporting the Defund the Police program and free gender transitions for anyone seeking it, even convicted murderers. And are we even allowed to talk about her definitive role as President Joe Biden’s border czar?

Bridges ignored all of the above.

“I can see her being president … I’m so excited. A woman president, man. How exciting! And her championing of women’s rights, I’m for that.”

Would “The Big Lebowski” star have voted for Nikki Haley? That’s rhetorical. 

Has Harris stood up for women being pummeled by trans female athletes? That’s not rhetorical. 

Astin leaned into the feminist card like a man cornered at a Women’s March. Harris is “…qualified, tested, proven woman into the presidency, so that all girls for all time can know that that’s possible.”

Here’s betting parents can’t wait to share how Harris got her big start in politics. Just hope those girls are over 18 when they hear that story.

“West Wing” alum Bradley Whitford clumsily threw President Barack Obama under the presidential bus with his hype game. He said he’s “never felt this kind of enthusiasm ever.”

“Hope and change” is so 2008, apparently.

Then again, perhaps replacing a “Weekend at Bernie’s” cosplayer with a deeply flawed candidate is just the euphoria Democrats craved.

Gad delivered one of those scripted memories that not even Karine Jean-Pierre would buy in his “White Dudes” close-up.

The actor says he “stood over my kids’ bed and I wept” when Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016.

“That feeling of dread, and that feeling of fear, and that feeling of shame is not something I’m ever willing or able to allow myself to feel again.”

“And … cut! Love it, Josh … let’s take five.”

"On Election Night 2016, I wept. We had a chance to have a female president."

Once again, back to identity. Not intelligence, accomplishments or gravitas. Gender.

The Harris agenda is simple and, potentially, successful. I am a woman who is both black and Native American. Those are my qualifications. Ignore my record, radical statements and lack of accomplishments on core issues like the U.S./Mexican border.

Question me or my flip-flops and you’re a racist and a sexist.

And don’t give it a second thought that I haven’t let journalists ask me, well, anything, since announcing my candidacy.

Could Harris handle even softball queries at this point? Remember, President Biden turned down the Super Bowl of softball interviews. Twice.

We all know why. And, after hearing Harris’ word-salad spinnings for three-plus years we think we get her press strategy.

The White Dudes affair did give Americans some digital karma.

X briefly suspended the White Dudes for Harris account on his platform. Not cool, but if you can’t see the “turnabout is fair play” angle you haven’t been paying attention. The old Twitter regime aggressively canceled conservatives, fought back against “misinformation” on COVID that turned out to be true and much more.

The assembled White Dudes for Kamala said nothing about that, of course. They couldn’t man up then, and they sure aren’t manning up now.

Just know the Elon Musk variation of “The Twitter Files” will be on a single sheaf of paper. More importantly, any GOP attempt to field a similar fundraiser for a minority Republican candidate will be greeted with endless references to Hitler and the KKK.

The unemployment rate rose to 4.3% in July as fewer jobs were added to the economy than expected, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics released Friday. 

The data showed that just 114,000 non-farm jobs were added last month, far less than the 185,000 expected by analysts. Unemployment reached its highest level since October 2021, and 0.8% higher than this time last year. 

“The unemployment rate rose by 0.2 percentage point to 4.3 percent in July, and the number of unemployed people increased by 352,000 to 7.2 million,” the report said. “These measures are higher than a year earlier, when the jobless rate was 3.5 percent, and the number of unemployed people was 5.9 million.”

According to the bureau, Hurricane Beryl, which made landfall in Texas on July 7, 2023, did not impact the weak showing.

“Hurricane Beryl had no discernible effect on the national employment and unemployment data for July, and the response rates for the two surveys were within normal ranges,” the report said. 

 According to the statistics, unemployment increased mainly among men and white people. 

“Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (4.0 percent) and Whites (3.8 percent) increased in July. The jobless rates for adult women (3.8 percent), teenagers (12.4 percent), Blacks (6.3 percent), Asians (3.7 percent), and Hispanics (5.3 percent) showed little or no change over the month,” the report said. 

According to Heritage Foundation economist E.J. Antoni, native-born Americans have taken the brunt of the job losses over the last year. 

“Over the last year, native-born Americans have LOST 1.2 million jobs while foreign-born employment has increased 1.3 million; we’re just swapping out American workers at this point, not growing the pie for everyone,” he said on Friday.

The bureau said that employment increased in the healthcare, construction, transportation, and warehouse industries while jobs in the information industry declined. Fifty-five thousand jobs were gained in health care, 25,000 in construction, and 14,000 in transportation and warehousing, while information employment dropped 20,000. 

The lackluster report prompted some lawmakers to express concerns that the economy would continue to trend in the wrong direction, with persistent inflation still hampering consumers. 

“We must replace Kamalanomics with MAGAnomics if we want to avoid a recession! Choose wisely in November!” Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) said on Friday.
