WATCH: Kamala Harris Appears Distracted During Hurricane Milton Briefing, Hides Her Mouth To Tell Someone ‘It’s a Live Broadcast’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a clumsy attempt to be discreet, Vice President Kamala Harris was caught on a hot mic and on video Wednesday telling someone that the Hurricane Milton briefing she was in the middle of was a “live broadcast.”

As National Weather Service Director Ken Graham warned of the potentially devastating flooding that could result from the major hurricane’s landfall, Harris – who was taking part in briefing over video – appeared to become distracted by something behind the camera.

The vice president – in a moment that some on social media likened to a scene from HBO’s “Veep” – then awkwardly raised her hands up to her chin and slowly concealed half her face, including her mouth, with her palms and fingers.

“It’s a live broadcast,” Harris barked, with her mouth still shielded behind her hands.

Graham wrapped up his portion of the briefing seconds after the bizarre moment. (Read more from “Kamala Harris Appears Distracted During Hurricane Milton Briefing, Hides Her Mouth To Tell Someone ‘It’s a Live Broadcast’” HERE)

Monster Storm Carves Deadly Path Through Florida at This Hour After Striking in the Dead of Night

/1 Comment/in , /by

Hurricane Milton made landfall as a Category 3 storm with 120 mph winds on Wednesday near Siesta Key, Florida, slamming into the state’s west coast before churning its way eastward.

The hurricane was later downgraded to a Category 2 storm and has since been downgraded to a Category 1 storm.

During an appearance on Fox Weather, St. Lucie County Sheriff Keith Pearson confirmed there have been 17 tornadoes along with several fatalities.

“We can confirm 17 tornadoes hit St. Lucie County, Florida, with multiple fatalities, a rescue mission ongoing, and hundreds of homes destroyed,” he said.

The catastrophic landfall comes barely two weeks after Hurricane Helene, which battered Florida before causing devastation in North Carolina. Florida residents have spent the interim boarding up windows and evacuating their homes in preparation for Milton.

Trump Closes the Door on Another Debate With Kamala Harris: ‘There Will Be No Rematch!’

/5 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump shut the door Wednesday on debating Vice President Kamala Harris for a second time before Election Day.

“I won the last two debates,” the Republican nominee declared in a lengthy, all caps Truth Social post, which came after a last-ditch attempt by Fox News to arrange another debate.

Trump, 78, noted that he took part in CNN’s June 27 debate against President Biden and ABC’s Sept. 10 debate against Harris.

The former president also pointed out that he accepted an invite to a Sept. 4 debate that would’ve been hosted by Fox News “but she turned it down.”

“JD Vance easily won his debate with tampon Tim Walz, who called himself a knucklehead!” Trump continued. “I am also leading in the polls, with the lead getting bigger by the day – and leading in all swing states.” (Read more from “Trump Closes the Door on Another Debate With Kamala Harris: ‘There Will Be No Rematch!’” HERE)

Harris Is Only Running For President Because It Became Impossible To Hide Biden’s Decline

/1 Comment/in , /by

In her appearance on “The View” this week, Vice President Kamala Harris was asked if she would have done anything differently than President Joe Biden over the past four years. She answered, incredibly, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”

Commentators were quick to note how disastrous an answer it was given Harris’ previous efforts to distinguish herself from Biden, whose tenure in office is widely seen as a failure. The problem for Harris of course is that she’s the current vice president, which means she’s not the challenger but the de facto incumbent. Distinguishing herself from Biden was always going to be difficult. What’s more, the Biden White House has gone out of its way to emphasize how integral Harris has been to the administration. Biden himself said last week, she has been “a major player in everything we’ve done.”

Previous attempts by Harris to distance herself from Biden, like choosing “A New Way Forward” as her campaign slogan, or talking about what she’ll do on “day one in office,” have come off as fake and half-hearted. They have also lacked credibility. As former President Donald Trump noted in the debate last month, she’s been in office nearly four years. Why hasn’t she done any of the things she says she’ll do if she wins the presidency?

But Harris’ answer on “The View” also did something else, which might be even worse for her electoral prospects than endorsing all of Biden’s decisions. She inadvertently exposed the uncomfortable truth at the heart of her campaign, which Harris and the corporate media desperately don’t want to talk about.

And the truth is this: she’s only running for president because it became impossible to hide Biden’s cognitive decline. (Read more from “Harris Is Only Running For President Because It Became Impossible To Hide Biden’s Decline” HERE)

Book States Biden Blames Obama For Russia Invading Ukraine: He ‘F***ed Up’

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Joe Biden blamed former President Barack Obama for Russia invading Ukraine in 2022, according to a new book from Bob Woodward, saying that the former president’s weakness in 2014 led to Russian President Vladimir Putin feeling emboldened to go further.

During a moment of political upheaval in February 2014, Russian soldiers, wearing uniforms with no insignias, seized government buildings throughout Crimea and later seized its airports. Russia illegally annexed Crimea the following month.

In his new book, “War,” journalist Bob Woodward says that Biden blamed Obama for Russia invading Ukraine.

“They f***ed up in 2014,” Biden said to a friend, according to Woodward. “That’s why we are here. We f***ed it up. Barack never took Putin seriously.”

“We did nothing. We gave Putin a license to continue!” Biden reportedly fumed. “Well, I’m revoking his f***ing license!” (Read more from “Book States Biden Blames Obama For Russia Invading Ukraine: He ‘F***ed Up’” HERE)

Harris and Biden Clash in Final Weeks of Her White House Run

/1 Comment/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden say they’re singing from the same song sheet but haven’t always been on the same page in the campaign’s final weeks.

Both have publicly said that they’re closely aligned on policy, which could be problematic in and of itself as Harris brands herself a change candidate. Yet the two were at odds when it came to a high-profile Republican governor and sharing the spotlight.

Harris has accused Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) of being “selfish” for ignoring her phone calls amid preparations for Hurricane Milton. While DeSantis pushed back strongly, saying Harris had never called him about a storm before she ran for president, that she’s “not in the chain of command” for weather operations, and advising her to look in the mirror when making accusations of politicking.

That type of cross-party argument is expected in today’s political environment, but Harris’s claims have also been undermined by her boss. Biden spoke with DeSantis over the phone Monday night and praised the Florida governor afterward.

“The governor of Florida has been cooperative,” Biden said Tuesday. “He said he’s gotten all that he needs. I talked to him again yesterday. And I said, ‘I know you’re doing a great job. It’s all being done well. We thank you for it.’ And I literally gave him my personal phone number to call.” (Read more from “Harris and Biden Clash in Final Weeks of Her White House Run” HERE)

U. Of Kansas Prof on Men Who Won’t Vote for Kamala Harris: ‘We Could Line All Those Guys up and Shoot Them’

/1 Comment/in , /by

A professor at the University of Kansas has been placed on administrative leave after saying that men who don’t for Vice President Kamala Harris because she’s a woman should be shot. “We could line all those guys up and shoot them,” he said in a recently leaked video. The university has not named the instructor as of Wednesday evening.

“What frustrates me [is] there are going to be some males in our society that will refuse to vote for a potential female president, because they don’t think females are smart enough to be president,” the University of Kansas professor said during a recently recorded lecture.

“We could line all those guys up and shoot them,” the professor continued. “They clearly don’t understand the way the world works.”

“Did I say that? Scratch that from the recording,” the professor added. “I don’t want the deans hearing that I said that.”

Nonetheless, video of the professor’s comments surfaced on social media, where the footage went viral.

KJP Refuses To Say Whether Biden Will Leave White House For His Private Residence During Hurricane Landfall

/1 Comment/in , /by

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused Wednesday to answer whether President Joe Biden will remain at the White House or depart for his private residence during Hurricane Milton’s landfall.

Biden postponed his upcoming trip for Germany and Angola as Hurricane Milton, a Category 4 storm, is set to make landfall and potentially cause destruction in Florida. Jean-Pierre said the president does not currently have any travel plans for Florida and did not make it clear whether he intends to remain at the White House.

“Will [Biden] be here the whole time, probably, is it possible he will go to Delaware over the weekend, are you guys talking about a possible trip to Florida at some point already?” CNN senior White House correspondent MJ Lee asked.

“The president’s gonna continue to get hurricane briefings, not just on Milton, and how we’re preparing and what’s happening. He is going to be laser focused on that as well as the vice president,” Jean-Pierre said. “So he will continue to be updated, continue to get those briefings, I don’t have any travel to read out to you at this time, whether it is to the impacted areas or outside of that. What I can say is the president is going to continue to be laser focused on the storms and what’s happening, the preparations, how we are still certainly responding to the immediate needs of folks who have been impacted by Hurricane Helene as well. That is also very much in front of us and what we’re trying to do and get done there, but that’s gonna be his focus.” (Read more from “KJP Refuses To Say Whether Biden Will Leave White House For His Private Residence During Hurricane Landfall” HERE)

Conservatives Reveal Plan To Awaken Sleeping Giant Voter Demographic That Could Decide White House, Senate

/2 Comments/in , /by

A crumbling economy and porous border, or the scary project 2025 and loss of “reproductive rights”; those are the messages both parties are inundating Americans with as election day rapidly approaches.

But if Republicans hope to reach the estimated 10 million gun owners not registered to vote, hunting and pro-gun organizations alike know traditional messaging won’t do it. A coalition of pro-gun organizations believe those non-voters could swing the election, and are using hunting and firearm influencers, social media and messaging catered specifically towards gun owners to engage them.

“Bill Clinton acknowledged, as did Clinton’s campaign, the White House spokesman Joel Lockhart admitted, that the gun vote cost Al Gore the White House. It cost John Kerry the White House. It cost the Democrats control of Congress in 1994 after they passed the Clinton gun ban, and we believe it can be a determinative factor in this election in places where there’s high gun ownership, in places like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Montana, Arizona, Nevada,” Larry Keane, senior vice president and general counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, told the Daily Caller.

“We believe [gun owners] will be a determinant factor, particularly when the contrast is so stark. You have a candidate on the Democrat side who was coronated and wants to literally, wants to send the police to your home to see how you store your guns, and wants to confiscate firearms,” Keane added.

Former President Donald Trump himself believes gun owners can sway the election. Speaking at a recent rally, he said that the National Rifle Association had shown him numbers about how infrequently gun owners vote. “If you would vote, nobody would beat us,” Trump said.
