Pollster Admits the Obvious: Dems Don’t Want Kamala Harris Taking Tough Questions

/3 Comments/in , /by

Democrats are now saying the quiet part out loud: They want Kamala Harris to keep hiding from the press.

In a Sunday interview with NBC, Democratic pollster Cornell Belcher shut down PBS’s Amna Nawaz’s pleas for Harris to talk to journalists.

“Interviews are where candidates face rigor and skepticism and questions about issues that they’re not raising on the campaign trail and in monologue,” Nawaz (rightly) explained. “It opens it up to a conversation in a way that’s good for voters and good for democracy.”

But it’s not good for Democrats, Belcher shot back: “As a campaign hack, no. She should be talking to the voters and barnstorming the way they do . . . I don’t want her talking to you all right now.”

Harris isn’t “talking to voters” as much as talking at them — from a teleprompter at rallies that insulate her from any risk of an actual interaction that could prove embarrassing. (Read more from “Pollster Admits the Obvious: Dems Don’t Want Kamala Harris Taking Tough Questions” HERE)

Scientists Stumble Upon 7,000-Year-Old Preserved Landscape

Researchers uncovered a preserved ancient landscape beneath the Adriatic Sea near the submerged city of Soline, dating back 7,000 years, Daily Mail reported.

Archaeologists discovered remnants of Soline, a city built by the ancient Hvar culture on an artificial landmass, submerged off the coast of present-day Croatia. The city, crafted around 12,000 BC and later engulfed by rising sea levels following the last Ice Age, includes a network of rivers and estuaries, according to the Daily Mail. This discovery is part of a well-preserved underwater landscape.

Geo-archaeologist Dr. Simon Fitch led the team and they utilized cutting-edge underwater 3D seismic sensors to map this forgotten world. The initial findings reveal a vibrant, dynamic environment, likely bustling with ancient human activity, now hidden beneath the seafloor.

“That’s amazing, because it suggests it is more likely that people lived there,” Fitch said, the outlet reported. This discovery not only sheds light on the advanced nature of the Hvar culture but also provides insights into the geographical and ecological conditions of the Adriatic region thousands of years ago. This submerged landscape was protected from harsher oceanic elements by the nearby Dalmatian islands, Daily Mail reported.

Vance Says Trump Would Veto a National Abortion Ban

/4 Comments/in , /by

Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, former President Donald Trump’s running mate, said Saturday that Trump would veto a federal abortion ban if Congress were to pass one.

Asked on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” about GOP lawmakers like Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina who would want Trump to advocate for and sign an abortion ban, Vance told moderator Kristen Welker that Trump has “explicitly” said he would veto a ban.

“I mean, if you’re not supporting it, as the president of the United States, you fundamentally have to veto it,” Vance argued.

Trump has changed his position on abortion policy over the years.

Asked on a tarmac in Atlanta in April whether he would sign a national abortion ban if it passed through Congress, he simply answered, “No.” But he didn’t clarify at the time what he considered a “ban.” (Read more from “Vance Says Trump Would Veto a National Abortion Ban” HERE)

Democrat Lawmakers Dismiss Kamala Harris’s Price-Control Plan

/7 Comments/in , /by

A series of insider revelations have surfaced indicating that multiple Democrat lawmakers are privately dismissing Vice President Kamala Harris’s controversial grocery price-control plan, which has faced substantial backlash from economists and critics alike.

Politico reports that Democrat lawmakers are quietly signaling to concerned allies that Harris’s proposal, unveiled during her first policy-focused speech on August 16, is unlikely to advance through Congress. The plan, which has been described as “Soviet-style” by critics, aims to impose central price controls on food products. According to Politico, lawmakers have expressed doubts about the plan’s feasibility and effectiveness, with one anonymous Democrat describing it as a “lofty goal” and another admitting uncertainty about its operational mechanics.

An insider close to the White House has revealed that Harris’s plan does not effectively address the inflation issues plaguing the country. The insider remarked, “If we had a good tool, we’d definitely have used it,” suggesting that the administration’s attempt to address rising grocery prices is inadequate.

Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) highlights a troubling 22 percent increase in grocery prices from January 2021 — when President Joe Biden and Harris first took office — to July 2024. Despite this, the Biden-Harris administration has downplayed inflation concerns, with White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre inaccurately claiming in June that prices for staple items like eggs and milk, as well as gasoline, have decreased.

According to Politico, several lawmakers and aides interviewed under anonymity have confirmed that Congressional Democrats are privately acknowledging the impracticality of Harris’s plan. A food industry official echoed this sentiment, labeling the proposal as “not a serious policy” and suggesting it is more of a political maneuver designed to deflect blame from the administration’s handling of inflation.

Criticism of the plan has been further amplified by Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell, who penned a scathing op-ed describing the proposal as a “sweeping set of government-enforced price controls” that would undermine market dynamics. Rampell warned that such a policy would replace supply and demand with bureaucratic control, potentially allowing agencies like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to dictate prices for basic goods.

Tim Walz Faces Another Accusation of Misrepresentation in Unearthed, Blistering Letter: ‘Remove Any Reference’

/3 Comments/in , /by

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is facing another accusation of misrepresenting his background after a Nebraska Chamber of Commerce letter from 2006 resurfaced amid Walz’s campaign for vice president.

When Walz first ran for Congress in Minnesota, he touted on his campaign website that he received an award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce in 1993 for his work with the business community, according to a 2006 article from the Post Bulletin.

He never received such an award, however, which was outlined to him in a blistering letter from the then-president of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce, Barry L. Kennedy.

“We researched this matter and can confirm that you have not been the recipient of any award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce,” the letter addressed to Walz on Nov. 1, 2006, reads.

“I am not going to draw a conclusion about your intentions by including this line in your biography. However, we respectfully request that you remove any reference to our organization as it could be considered an endorsement of your candidacy. It should be pointed out, however, that the US Chamber of Commerce has endorsed your opponent, Congressman Gil Gutknecht, for his support of small business issues,” Kennedy continued.

Donald Trump Unveils Dramatic Details of Assassination Attempt: Moment It Happened, Who’s to Blame, Why He Got Up and Yelled ‘Fight, Fight, Fight’

/6 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that when he was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, in mid-July he knew instantly it was a bullet that had hit him.

“A lot of times, and I was thinking about this, it would seem like a surreal moment—like you don’t realize almost where you are,” Trump said when asked to describe what went through his mind in that moment. “I never felt that. I knew immediately I got hit by a bullet.”

Trump’s comments came during a lengthy exclusive interview at Mar-a-Lago a couple weeks ago, where he sat for an hour with Breitbart News after a press conference he held earlier in the day. One of the most interesting parts of the interview was Trump talking about the failed assassination attempt from 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks against him, and it was unbelievable to hear Trump himself describe just how lucky he was that the would-be assassin’s bullets barely missed him.

Trump, sitting behind his big ornate wooden desk, described to Breitbart News that he would be dead if he had not turned exactly the right way at exactly the right second.

“So what are the odds that I’m looking to the right?” Trump said. “The poster is never used early, and it’s never on the right it’s always on the left. If you take the odds of this whole thing it’s like 10 million to one and you only have an eighth of a second.” (Read more from “Donald Trump Unveils Dramatic Details of Assassination Attempt: Moment It Happened, Who’s to Blame, Why He Got Up and Yelled ‘Fight, Fight, Fight’” HERE)

Trump Unleashes Fierce Anti-Harris Storm: Kamala ‘Trying to Make It Sound Like I Am the Incumbent President’

/2 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump unleashed a storm of comments Sunday afternoon, saying Kamala Harris and Democrat operatives are working to convince voters that he – not Joe Biden – is actually the current commander in chief.

“Kamala and her ‘handlers’ are trying to make it sound like I am the Incumbent President, so that they can blame me for the failure of the past four years,” Trump said on X. . .

“There will be no future under Comrade Kamala Harris, because she will take us into a Nuclear World War III! She will never be respected by the Tyrants of the World!” Trump continued. . . .

“If you think things are expensive now, they will get 100 times WORSE if Kamala gets four years as President. Under her plan, Kamala will implement SOVIET Style Price Controls. She will abolish private health care, and make California’s ridiculous tax policies the law of the land, meaning EVERY American will be taxed up to 80% of their income! If you want more CASH and less TAX, VOTE TRUMP!!!” (Read more from “Trump Unleashes Fierce Anti-Harris Storm: Kamala ‘Trying to Make It Sound Like I Am the Incumbent President'” HERE)

Elon Musk’s SpaceX to Rescue Astronauts Stranded in Space

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk’s SpaceX will rescue two astronauts who have been stranded in space since June after their Boeing Starliner spacecraft encountered problems.

NASA administrator Bill Nelson announced at a press conference on Saturday that astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams will return to Earth in February of next year on the SpaceX Crew-9 mission.

Wilmore and Williams have been stranded aboard the International Space Station (ISS) since their Starliner spacecraft experienced five thruster malfunctions and five helium leaks.

“NASA has decided that Butch and Sunni will return with Crew-9 next February, and that Starliner will return uncrewed,” Nelson explained.

The astronauts blasted off from Florida on June 5, and they were initially slated to return to Earth on June 13. However, NASA later announced on June 18 that they were looking to bring the astronauts home on June 26. (Read more from “Elon Musk’s SpaceX to Rescue Astronauts Stranded in Space” HERE)

The DNC Has Just Been One Long Litany of Stupid, Obvious Lies

/5 Comments/in , /by

It almost goes without saying that what Democrats are putting on at the DNC this week in Chicago is a simulacrum of democracy, a mimicry of the excitement and drama that might have come from a deliberative process of Democrat Party voters choosing their presidential candidate.

None of it is real. The DNC has all the trappings of a major political party convention but without any of the substance. Not a single Democrat voter cast a primary ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris, yet Democrats are going through the motions as if that’s exactly what happened.

They even trotted out President Joe Biden—the putative head of the Democrat Party, whose reelection campaign was abruptly ended by party bosses against his will—late on the first night of the convention. It was a mere formality. Biden delivered a slurred, angry speech, full of lies and distortions, and then they shuffled him off to Santa Barbara for the rest of the week, rendering the sitting president a nonparticipant in his own party’s convention.

But Democrats’ fakery goes deeper than just pantomiming a democratic process after executing a coup against the sitting president. The Harris-Walz campaign branding of “joy”—repeated this week ad nauseum by the propaganda press—is obviously fake and forced. By running a campaign almost completely devoid of policy substance or any real interaction with the news media, consisting mostly of staged videos of Harris and Walz yukking it up on the campaign trail or delivering speeches via teleprompter at highly controlled rallies, Democrat Party leaders are essentially running a psy-op on the American electorate.

A big part of that psy-op is to lie and mislead brazenly about everything. On the opening night of the convention, Biden repeated the infamous “very fine people on both sides” hoax and the “suckers and losers” hoax, both of which anyone can easily look up in 30 seconds. He also claimed that 500,000 new electric vehicle charging stations have been created under his administration (the actual number is seven), among many other blatant falsehoods.

Democrat ‘Dark Money’ Network Founder Wants the Names of Conservative Donors for One Reason

/5 Comments/in , /by

In recent years, the activist left has built a network of left-leaning nonprofits to help tilt elections and ballot initiatives in favor of realizing far-left policy outcomes on abortion, gender identity, and DEI, among others. Politico highlighted the Arabella network’s role in the 2018 midterms, describing “an unprecedented gusher of secret money” that was “fueled by massive anonymous donations.” The New York Times noted how, in 2020, left-of-center nonprofits outspent “groups aligned with Republicans” $514 million to $200 million.

This surge in spending has brought scrutiny from Republicans in Congress and in the states, particularly around the role of foreign donors to candidate and ballot issue campaigns. Conservative media now features a steady drumbeat of coverage about “dark money” supporting various left-of-center causes. On Capitol Hill, Republicans hosted a hearing that highlighted the left’s growing nonprofit activities and the apparent hypocrisy of Democrats who spent much of the previous decade condemning conservative organizations and donors as “dark money.”

All of this raises a question: If “dark money” is so beneficial to Democrats, why do the party’s leaders consistently push for new and expansive donor disclosure laws?

The answer may be simple: Even when the left outspends the right, the value of silencing conservatives far exceeds the value of spending by left-leaning nonprofits.

Eric Kessler, the founder of Arabella Advisors, which serves as the head of the left’s sprawling nonprofit network, recently pledged his support to Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse’s plan to “end the scourge of dark money.” (Read more from “Democrat ‘Dark Money’ Network Founder Wants the Names of Conservative Donors for One Reason” HERE)
