Kamala Harris First Solo Interview With Local Pennsylvania Reporter Turns Into Disaster

/1 Comment/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris, during her second interview on Friday since joining the race, undermined her record in the Biden-Harris administration by stating the administration’s policies are not fit for the “twenty-first century.”

Harris faces a conundrum: She cannot campaign on policies to fix crime, inflation, and border security without undermining the Biden-Harris administration’s policies, but she must tout the administration’s policies to validate her record and candidacy.

“I’m obviously not Joe Biden, and you know, I offer a new generation of leadership,” she said, providing examples that the Biden-Harris administration failed to achieve, such as helping citizens achieve the American dream:

And so, for example, thinking about developing and creating an opportunity economy where it’s about investing in areas that really need a lot of work, and maybe focusing on again, the aspirations and the dreams, but also just recognizing that at this moment in time, some of the stuff we could take for granted years ago, we can’t take for granted anymore. For example, another plan that I have that is a new approach is to expand the child tax credit to $6,000 for young families for the first year of their child’s life, because that is obviously a very critical stage of development of a child, and a lot of young parents need the help to buy a car seat or a crib or clothes for their kids.

. . .

Taff also asked Harris how she would go about bringing “down prices and making life more affordable for people.”

Harris responded with the same rehearsed answer she used in the debate. “I grew up a middle class kid,” Harris replied, again ignoring the question. As Breitbart News reported, Harris’s claim is “mostly false.” Harris grew up with an affluent Canadian upbringing, growing up in Westmount.

WATCH: Yes, Tim Walz Just Called Kamala Harris a Prostitute (Sort Of)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The body language says it all: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz called Kamala Harris a prostitute at a campaign event in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It’s the first time Walz will be left alone on the trail for official 2024 business, but I think this moment might be what defines the trip (via Fox 17 West Michigan):

The well-traveled campaign trail through Michigan is getting another traveler this week.

Democratic Vice Presidental nominee Tim Walz made a campaign stop in Grand Rapids on Thursday. The Minnesota Governor is set to appear during a campaign event that evening as part of a post-debate push in Michigan and Wisconsin.

Walz is also expected to take part in some smaller events in West Michigan on Friday before moving on to Lansing and later Wisconsin.

He called Harris a “prostitutor.” It’s the worst kind of Freudian slip. The campaign thinks harping on Harris legal days is a positive, though it has yet to prove beneficial for the California liberal in any meaningful way in the polls.

Trump Pledges to End Taxes on Overtime: ‘Hardest-Working Citizens in Our Country’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump pledged to end taxes on overtime, referring to those workers as the “hardest-working citizens in our country.”

“I’m also announcing that as part of our additional tax cuts, we will end all taxes on overtime,” Trump said during a rally, prompting applause from those in attendance. “That gives people more of an incentive to work. It [makes it a lot easier for the companies] to get the people.”

Trump praised overtime workers for their hard work while lamenting that Washington has not “been looking out for them.”

“I went to some economists. Great ones. I said, ‘what do you think?’ They said, ‘It would be unbelievable, you’ll get a whole new workforce by getting that.’ No taxes on overtime,” he said. “The people who work overtime are among the hardest working citizens in our country, and for too long, no one in Washington has been looking out for them. Those are the people. They really work. They’re police officers. They’re nurses, factory workers, construction workers, truck drivers, and machine operators. It’s time for the working man and woman to finally catch a break and that’s what we’re doing, because this is a good one, and I think it’s going to be great for the country. So that’s why we will be saying that if you’re an overtime worker, when you pass 40 hours a week, your overtime hours will be tax free.”

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

/0 Comments/in , /by

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.
