The Debate Was So Biased It Was Divorced From Reality. Trump Should Refuse to Do Another

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tuesday night during the presidential debate between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, the fact-checks were flying, but only in one direction. As expected, ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis were criminally biased, making the debate effectively three-on-one against Trump and practically amounting to an in-kind donation to the Harris campaign.

The lying and gaslighting were so brazen from Harris, and the “fact-checking” from Muir and Davis so lop-sided (they failed even once to push back or correct any of Harris’ obvious falsehoods), that the entire spectacle eventually took on an air of unreality. It was bizarre to see it happening live on the air. By the end, my main takeaway was that the purpose of these debates, besides the media’s obvious goal of boosting Harris and hurting Trump, is to confuse and demoralize the American people by distorting reality and flooding the internet with lies, making it impossible to know what’s true and what’s not.

At one point, Harris recited a litany of the most obvious, thoroughly debunked lies about Trump, from the “fine people on both sides” comment on Charlottesville, to the “bloodbath” remark about the auto industry, to claiming he “incited” the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6. Anyone can go online and check for themselves that these things are all hoaxes; they never happened. But the moderators said nothing.

They again said nothing when Harris lied about her views on fracking, gun control, and defunding the police. Nor did they say anything when she erroneously claimed there are no American troops in combat zones (three U.S. soldiers were killed in a drone attack in Jordan earlier this year, and seven were injured in a raid against ISIS in Iraq last month), that police officers died on Jan. 6, that third-trimester abortions never happen, or that the Trump tax cuts disproportionately benefited the wealthy. On and on, lie after lie.

With Trump, it was of course much different. Muir and Davis routinely inserted themselves into the debate under the guise of “fact-checking” the former president, even on trivial matters, to the point that at times it devolved into a side debate between Trump and the moderators.

Kamala Harris’ Debate Earrings Trigger Theories Among Trump Supporters

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By the New York Post. Some conspiracy-minded supporters of former President Donald Trump have claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris got secret — and unfair — help in her Tuesday night debate against the Republican nominee.

The theory goes like this: Harris’ earrings contained a clandestine Bluetooth device that enabled her to be coached by unseen aides during the ABC News forum in Philadelphia, in flagrant violation of the rules set out by the Disney-owned network.

One X user dubbed The Maverick Approach, a self-described “alternative news source,” peddled a claim early Wednesday that Harris had been fitted with a pair of smart earrings developed by NOVA, a German company.

“There’s a major issue with this debate,” they posted. “I told myself she was fed what to say during the debate and my hunch was right. Nova is the world’s first and only wireless earphone earrings.” . . .

The clip-on NOVA H1 Audio Earrings sell for about $625 apiece and are able to “project sound from inside the pearl straight into your ear canal,” according to its Kickstarter page, which appears to have been dormant since last year and includes comments suggesting people hadn’t received the product despite chipping in cash.

Company says Kamala Harris’ debate earrings strikingly similar to its Bluetooth device, offers to make ones for Trump

By Emily Crane. A [German] tech company has added fuel to the Kamala Harris earrings conspiracy theory after quipping that her debate night jewelry is strikingly similar to the Bluetooth devices it makes — and has even offered to design “orange” ones for Donald Trump. . .

“We do not know whether Mrs. Harris wore one of our products. The resemblance is striking and while our product was not specifically developed for the use at presidential debates, it is nonetheless suited for it,” Icebach’s managing director, Malte Iversen, said in a tongue-in-cheek statement to tech outlet Tom’s Guide.

“To ensure a level playing field for both candidates, we are currently developing a male version and will soon be able to offer it to the Trump campaign. The choice of color is a bit challenging though as orange does not go well with a lot of colors.”

Meanwhile, the company has also vowed to clear up the “rumors and myths surrounding our wonderful products” during a forthcoming appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. . . . After thorough discussions we have decided that we will grant one live interview . . . our chosen interviewer is Jimmy Fallon, a trusted Bavarian in heart.” (Read more about Harris’s debate earrings HERE)

It Only Took 20 Seconds for Black Immigrant Caller to Unravel Charlamagne’s Defense of Harris’ Role in Border Crisis

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A black immigrant caller on Wednesday quickly dismantled radio host Charlamagne Tha God’s defense of Vice President Kamala Harris’ handling of the border crisis.

Harris is campaigning on solving the border crisis, but since the beginning of her administration with President Joe Biden, over 7 million migrants have attempted to cross the U.S. southern border, according to data from Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The caller, Al from Queens, New York, argued on “The Breakfast Club” that Harris bears significant responsibility for the surge, while Charlamagne contended that the crisis is driven by factors beyond the vice president’s policies.

“Let me start off by saying I love you guys, man. I listen to you guys every morning. And I’m also a black man, I’m also an immigrant. But there are certain things that you guys are saying that Kamala wasn’t supporting or she wasn’t answering these questions, man,” Al said. “I watched the same debate. When they spoke about immigrants, she’s half the reason that all these immigrants are in the state of New York or any state for that.”

“Listen, I don’t know why we put the blame on one person as if the border hasn’t been an issue for years under every administration. That’s why they were able to create a bipartisan bill that [former president] Donald Trump didn’t want to push through, because he knew it would give the Democrats a win,” Charlamagne responded. “So I don’t understand why we act like one person caused the border to be a problem.” (Read more from “It Only Took 20 Seconds for Black Immigrant Caller to Unravel Charlamagne’s Defense of Harris’ Role in Border Crisis” HERE)

Joe Biden Grins as He Dons Red Trump Hat

Outgoing President Joe Biden donned a red Trump campaign hat while grinning in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, one day after the presidential debate when former President Donald Trump said Biden “hates” Vice President Kamala Harris.

“He [Biden] hates her [Kamala]!” Trump said during the debate. “He can’t stand her.”

“But he had 14 million votes,” Trump added. “They threw them out. She got zero votes.”

The White House claimed Biden wore the hat to show “bipartisan unity.”

Eric Trump said Biden wore the hat after first responders in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, demanded he wear the hat:

Trump One-Liner: ‘I’m Talking Now … Sound Familiar?’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump mocked Vice President Kamala Harris during Tuesday night’s debate after she attempted to interrupt him, turning her infamous “I’m speaking” moment against her.

During the debate, Trump gave the audience a brief overview of how Harris has continually changed her positions on key subjects for the sake of political expediency, beginning with fracking.

“She’s been against it for 12 years. Defund the police. She’s been [for] that forever. She gave all that stuff up, very wrongly, very horribly, and everybody’s laughing at it. Ok? They’re all laughing at it. She gave up at least 12 and probably 14 or 15 different policies — like she was big on defund the police in Minnesota; she went out,” Trump said as Harris shook her head and mumbled something, prompting Trump to address her.

“Wait a minute. I’m talking now. You don’t mind, please. Does that sound familiar?” Trump asked as Harris stood with her mouth open, muttering another phrase in his direction.

In other words, Trump took Harris’s “I’m speaking” moment — gleaned from the 2020 vice presidential debates between herself and former Vice President Mike Pence — and used it to his advantage. During that debate, she spoke over Pence as he interjected, condescendingly stating, “I’m speaking,” with a grin across her face.

‘Send Her a MAGA Hat’: Trump Says Kamala Harris Adopted His Philosophy Because She ‘Has No Policy’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump accused Vice President Kamala Harris of copying his philosophy because she had no policy proposals during Tuesday night’s debate.

Trump said during the ABC News debate that Harris is “a Marxist” who will govern far to the left despite campaigning to the political center and even adopting some of the same policies he holds. He warned the vice president will destroy the U.S. if she is elected president.

“She has no policy. Everything that she believed three years ago and four years ago is out the window. She’s going to my philosophy now, in fact, I was gonna send her a MAGA hat,” Trump said. “She’s gone to my philosophy, but if she ever got elected, she’d change it. It will be the end of our country. She’s a Marxist. Everybody knows she’s a Marxist. Her father’s a Marxist professor in economics, and he taught her well.”

Trump criticized the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the southern border crisis, which he argued has also destroyed the economy.

“They’re criminals. Many of these people are criminals, and that’s bad for our economy too … Well, bad immigration is the worst thing that can happen to our economy. They have, and she has, destroyed our country with policy that’s insane. Almost policy that you say ‘they have to hate our country,” the former president said.

Biden Slammed Over Horrendous ‘I’m Doing 9/11’ Gaffe During NYC Visit: ‘Yikes’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden told reporters Tuesday that he’s heading up to New York City and “doing 9/11” in a gaffe that was ruthlessly mocked by social media users.

The 81-year-old president, who was forced to end his re-election bid in July over mounting questions about his mental acuity, made the verbal blunder as he previewed his near-term travel plans.

“I’m going up to my granddaughter’s birthday in New York,” Biden said on the White House lawn as he prepared to board his Marine One helicopter.

“Then we’re going to watch the debate and tomorrow I’m doing 9/11,” the president added, with unfortunate phrasing.

Biden was seemingly referencing his scheduled participation in solemn remembrance ceremonies marking the 23rd anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

/5 Comments/in , /by

Tucker Carlson has been blasted for saying women serving in the military is “disgusting” and like “walking by a pile of feces.” . . .

Carlson . . . was speaking on The Charlie Kirk Show about a discussion he had with an army general over a woman “having her legs blown off.”

He said: “And I remember thinking, wait a second. Are we allowed to send, first of all, what’s a woman doing getting her legs blown off?

“And so for sending women to go fight our wars, that, first of all, that’s not, you know, that’s not a liberation movement.

“That’s a kind of…I just remember thinking, that’s disgusting. It’s like walking by a pile of human feces on the sidewalk.”

He continued: “You can explain it away and where it’s from? There are no restrooms here. It’s like, no. They’re on the sidewalk. Like, I’m against that. It’s just disgusting, and I don’t need to explain it.” (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Says Women in Military is ‘Disgusting and Like Walking by a Pile of Feces'” HERE)

Taylor Swift Not Seated Next to Brittany Mahomes After She Showed Support for Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

During the 2023 season, Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, pop star Taylor Swift, and Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs star Pat Mahomes, were inseparable. One game into the 2024 season, the two seem very separable.

Taylor Swift did not sit with Brittany Mahomes during Thursday night’s season opener. . .

The separation comes after Brittany Mahomes weathered an intense storm of backlash for liking a pair of social media posts supporting former President Trump. While she has not officially endorsed Kamala Harris, her supporters strongly suspect that the pop star will endorse Harris at some point in the next several weeks.

Swift appeared to be sitting with Travis Kelce’s family in their suite. In contrast, Mahomes sat with her daughter in another location.

Mahomes liked a reply from a follower that read, ‘TRUMP-VANCE 2024.” (Read more from “Taylor Swift Not Seated Next to Brittany Mahomes After She Showed Support for Trump” HERE)

Trump Discusses Inevitability of Death, Says He Wants Religious Revival in U.S. (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump spoke about his own mortality and the need for a religious revival in the U.S. during a recent interview with Russian-American podcaster Lex Fridman.

During the hour-long interview posted on Tuesday that touched on topics ranging from the 2024 presidential election to the Kennedy assassination and UFOs, the conversation honed in at the end on mortality and the role religion plays in coming to terms with it and the potential of an afterlife.

“One of the tragic things about life is that it ends,” Fridman said. “How often do you think about your death? Are you afraid of it?”

Trump, who narrowly escaped an assassin’s bullet on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, recounted that he has a “very successful” friend in his mid-80s who thinks about death constantly and often reminds him that time is slipping away.

“He said, ‘I think about it every minute of every day,'” Trump noted of what his friend said of death. “Then, a week later, he called me to tell me something, and he starts off the conversation by going, ‘Tick-tock, tick-tock.’ This is a dark person, in a sense, but it is what it is.” (Read more from “Trump Discusses Inevitability of Death, Says He Wants Religious Revival in U.S. (VIDEO)” HERE)
