Joe Biden Appears To Throw Harris Under The Bus For Second Time In Just A Month

/4 Comments/in , /by

For the second time in just a month, President Joe Biden (accidentally?) threw Kamala Harris under the bus and undermined her campaign to the benefit of Republicans.

Biden first said on “The View” in late September that he “was able to delegate [Harris’s] responsibility on everything from foreign policy to domestic policy,” undercutting her campaign message — and the media’s narrative — that she was only a bystander in his administration and that his failures would’ve been successes had she been in charge.

The president did it again Monday night when he spoke with Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis about inbound Hurricane Milton, all while Harris was accusing the governor of playing political games by allegedly “refusing” to answer her own phone call. DeSantis denied “refusing” her call, saying at a press conference the same day that he wasn’t even aware she had reached out.

Biden also praised DeSantis’s response to the hurricane during a press conference Tuesday afternoon, saying he’s doing a “great job” despite the vice president’s attack.

Doug Emhoff Accused of Serial Sexual Misconduct in Explosive New Report

/3 Comments/in , /by

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’ husband Dough Emhoff was allegedly routinely “inappropriate” and “misogynistic,” according to his former colleagues.

Emhoff previously managed the law firm Venable’s Los Angeles Office from 2006 to 2017, according to the Daily Mail. Attorneys who worked at the firm accused him of shouting expletives and “asshole” behavior.

An ex-staffer told the outlet anonymously that Emhoff allegedly boasted to management about how he “put [his secretary] in her place” after telling her to “Get the fuck out of my office.”

A former female staffer told the Daily Mail that Emhoff was known for being “very flirty.”

“If you weren’t flirty back or didn’t respond positively then you were on his shit list,” she told the outlet.

Nevada’s Failed Mass Mail-In Ballot Experiment Should Have Been A Case Study, Not A Blueprint

/0 Comments/in , , /by

You would think that with all the new technology nowadays our voting and election process would be reliable and effective. That is not the case in Nevada, where it took a lawsuit to force a Clark County election official to clean up the voter rolls.

What should have been a one-time failed experiment of automatically mailing a ballot to every active registered voter in 2020 is now the norm. The automatic mass mailing of ballots sounds nice. The reality is that it sent ballots to strip clubs, casinos, and bars.

The Public Interest Legal Foundation (of which I am president) photographed hundreds of commercial addresses listed as residences on the Nevada voter roll. Some of these addresses included a Sonic Drive-In, the Las Vegas Airport, a 7-Eleven gas station, vacant lots, Binion’s casino, and the Larry Flynt Hustler club.

We delivered this information, including pictures of the locations where it appeared people did not live, to Clark County Registrar of Voters Lorena Portillo. All we wanted her to do was investigate these addresses and, if her office found that no one lived at these addresses, make corrections to the voter roll before the 2024 presidential election ballots hit the mail.

We waited for a response, but weeks of crickets from Clark County forced us to file a lawsuit. As a direct result of this litigation, Clark County investigated and made corrections to the voter roll — ensuring mail ballots will not be sent to commercial addresses where no one lives.

Kamala Harris Is Poised To Revive the Worst Aspects of FDR’s Socialist Agenda

/0 Comments/in , /by

At the Economic Club of Pittsburgh, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris recently said she would “engage in what Franklin Roosevelt called ‘bold, persistent experimentation,’” as he had told the 1932 graduating class at Oglethorpe University. But she did not mention FDR’s vision of “remaking the world,” which included fundamentally changing “our popular economic thought” to see to “a wiser, more equitable distribution of the national income.”

Instead, she said she would seek “practical solutions” and even declared, “I am a capitalist.” She said she’s “been working with entrepreneurs and business owners” for her “whole career.” (No one has yet even been able to verify Harris’ job at McDonald’s.)

She also professed her belief in “an active partnership between government and the private sector,” sounding much like FDR at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco in September 1932. There he called for a new “economic constitutional order” built together by an “enlightened administration” and “enlightened businessmen” who together would “[adjust] production to consumption.”

Indeed, the desire to control production and fix prices was the aim of the largest contributor to the Roosevelt campaign, Wall Street speculator Bernard Baruch. He got the wish he paid for, the NRA (National Recovery Administration). Similarly, Harris supporter and billionaire Mark Cuban is vying for the position as head of the Securities and Exchange Commission and calling those who call Harris a Marxist “idiots.”

It was natural that Harris would quote Roosevelt. Biden referenced FDR in his speeches, especially in his last State of the Union address, when he invoked the “Four Freedoms,” which became the basis of his campaign (before it was usurped by Harris). The media hailed Barack Obama as the second coming of FDR, with the Nov. 24, 2008, Time magazine cover showing Obama posed as FDR in a convertible, clenching the characteristic cigarette-holder.

Judge Makes Crucial Ruling on Media’s Written Assault on Young Football Fan Wearing Facepaint

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A judge has determined that a written assault on a young football fan wearing facepaint in honor of his team and his heritage by Deadspin, in the words of a column on its pages, is actionable.

A report from the Associated Press said the judge found the “image of a child displaying his passionate fandom as a backdrop for its critique of the NFL’s diversity efforts and, in its description of the child,” actually crossed the line of protected speech.

“Having reviewed the complaint, the court concludes that Deadspin’s statements accusing H.A. of wearing black face and Native headdress ‘to hate black people and the Native American at the same time,’ and that he was taught this hatred by his parents, are provable false assertions of fact and are therefore actionable.”

The decision is from Delaware Superior Court Judge Sean Lugg, who rejected Deadspin’s demand that the lawsuit by the family of the child be dismissed. . .

Case was brought by Californians Raul Armenta Jr. and his wife, Shannon, on behalf of their son, Holden, 9. (Read more from “Judge Makes Crucial Ruling on Media’s Written Assault on Young Football Fan Wearing Facepaint” HERE)

Is This Really How Mainstream Media Is Covering Hurricane Milton’s Threat to Florida?

/1 Comment/in , /by

When it comes to Hurricane Helene ravaging the southeast and Appalachian regions of this country, we have seen quite the shameful response from the Biden-Harris administration. The mainstream media has been all too happy to go along defending the federal government, and POLITICO, per usual, has been among the worst.

Tuesday’s morning of POLITICO focused on “The other storm threatening Florida.” There’s a measly paragraph about the actual effects on the storm, before we’re treated to a whole bunch on rant about “misinformation.” This is that “other storm” we’re supposed to worry about:

As if it weren’t enough to prepare for sustained 150 mph winds and 15 feet of storm surge, government officials on the local, state and federal levels are also preparing for a fresh tide of misinformation driven by the approaching election.

Mixing hurricanes and politics, of course, is nothing new. What has been novel, and alarming to many observers, is the unabashed campaign by DONALD TRUMP to question the federal response led by President JOE BIDEN and VP KAMALA HARRIS — one that has been encouraged and amplified (often with fabricated stories and artificial AI images) on his ally ELON MUSK’s social media platform.

…

Now, with Milton approaching, the White House is looking to play offense. Yesterday from the briefing room podium, press secretary KARINE JEAN-PIERRE made debunking the online rumor campaign a central message. We spoke separately with deputy ANDREW BATES, who decried conspiracy theories that “have the depraved effect of scaring innocent people who have lost homes and loved ones out of the financial help they are owed and divide communities when standing together is more important than ever.”

Behind the scenes, we’re told, the White House intergovernmental affairs team has been making hundreds of calls directly to state and local officials to communicate directly about what aid is needed and what efforts are underway to get help to where it is needed.

Down in Florida, meanwhile, there is serious dread as online lies threaten to compound an already dire situation. Those concerns, we’ll note, are playing out against a backdrop of more conventional political sniping.

Yesterday, after NBC’s Matt Dixon reported that Florida Gov. RON DeSANTIS has refused to take Harris’ calls about Helene recovery, the VP remarked that “anyone who calls himself a leader [should] put politics aside and put the people first.” That prompted DeSantis to fire back on Fox News last night, saying Harris “has no role in this” and “is trying to politicize the storm.” More from Kierra Frazier

But local leaders are more concerned at the moment about what’s coming online. Tampa-area Rep. KATHY CASTOR (D-Fla.) has previously spoken out about misinformation in other contexts, and she told Playbook she’s afraid the phenomenon is only going to get worse.

“The partisan political motivations behind disinformation campaigns are insidious,” she said. “Manipulating the facts and using a natural disaster to build political capital is a disgraceful tactic that risks delaying our communities’ recovery from these increasingly severe storms.”

Team Trump Demands 60 Minutes Release Kamala Harris’s Unedited, Full Interview Transcript

/3 Comments/in , /by

The Trump campaign called on CBS News’s 60 Minutes to release its full, unedited transcript with Vice President Kamala Harris.

60 Minutes, which aired Harris’s interview Monday night, spliced and diced the conversation, preventing voters from making up their own minds about her answers:

“On Sunday, 60 Minutes teased Kamala’s highly-anticipated sit-down interview with one of her worst word salads to date, which received significant criticism on social media,” Karoline Leavitt, the Trump campaign’s national press secretary,” wrote in a statement. “During the full interview on Monday evening, the word salad was deceptively edited to lessen Kamala’s idiotic response.”

“Why did 60 Minutes choose not to air Kamala’s full word salad, and what else did they choose not to air?” she asked. “The American people deserve the full, unedited transcript from Kamala’s sit-down interview. We call upon 60 Minutes and CBS to release it.”

Concerns Raised Over Response Amid Hurricane: FEMA Sabotaging Volunteer Relief Efforts

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Recent events in North Carolina have sparked significant concern regarding the actions of FEMA and the National Guard during hurricane relief efforts. Reports indicate that a FEMA helicopter was seen flying low over a volunteer supply drop zone, allegedly due to tensions with volunteers who refused to allow FEMA to confiscate their supplies. This incident has raised questions about the federal agency’s priorities and its relationship with local volunteers.

A tweet from WorldNetDaily detailed these reports, highlighting the volunteers’ refusal to relinquish supplies intended for those affected by Hurricane Helene.

Compounding these concerns, President Biden's comments regarding the disaster response have also drawn scrutiny. During a recent public appearance, he appeared unaware of which storm was being referred to, prompting reactions from observers questioning his engagement with the ongoing crisis. In another statement, Biden assured that states affected by Hurricane Helene were "getting everything they need," a claim that some find hard to believe given the reported challenges on the ground.

Diddy’s Celebrity Friends Are Quietly Settling With Victims Ahead of Impending Lawsuits: Lawyer

/1 Comment/in , /by

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ famous friends are allegedly settling with victims outside of court to ensure they are not named in impending lawsuits, according to a Texas-based attorney representing over 100 accusers.

Tony Buzbee claimed plans are in the works to sue several celebrities who allegedly helped the musician cover up sexual abuse that occurred at his parties.

“If you were attending one of these parties, if you will, and you attended before, or you knew what was going to happen — that is, you knew that a particular drug was being used in drinks that was causing people to be coerced and taken advantage of — and you were there in the room, or you participated, or you watched it happen and didn’t say anything, or you helped cover it up, in my view, you have a problem,” Buzbee said during an appearance on TMZ Live.

Buzbee is planning to take legal action against a handful of A-list celebrities on behalf of his clients, although the lawyer did not indicate who. Some celebrities have already settled, he claimed.

“In every single case, especially cases like this, we collect our data, collect our evidence, do our due diligence, spend time with the victim, and then because it’s in the best interest of the victim, we attempt to resolve these matters without the filing of a public lawsuit, and we have done that already,” Buzbee explained.

‘60 Minutes’ Asks Harris Whether It Was a ‘Mistake’ for Biden Admin To Go Soft on Border, VP Repeatedly Dodges

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris was pressed by CBS News’ Bill Whitaker about whether it was a “mistake” for the Biden administration to go soft on its border policies during a tense exchange on Monday’s special election episode of “60 Minutes.”

“You recently visited the southern border and embraced President Biden’s recent crackdown on asylum seekers, and that crackdown produced an almost immediate and dramatic decrease in the number of border crossings,” Whitaker said. “If that’s the right answer now, why didn’t your administration take those steps in 2021?”

“The first bill we proposed to Congress was to fix our broken immigration system, knowing that if you want to actually fix it, we need Congress to act. It was not taken up,” Harris responded. “Fast forward to a moment when a bipartisan group of members of the United States Senate, including one of the most conservative members of the United States Senate, got together, came up with a border security bill.

“Well, guess what happened? Donald Trump got word that this bill was afoot and could be passed, and he wants to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem. So he told his buddies in Congress, ‘Kill the bill, don’t let it move forward.'”

“I’ve been covering the border for years, and so I know this is not a problem that started with your administration,” Whitaker said. “But there was an historic flood of undocumented immigrants coming across the border the first three years of your administration. As a matter of fact, arrivals quadrupled from the last year of President Trump.”
