RNC Spokeswoman: Election Matter of ‘Life or Death,’ U.S. Faces Same Threat as Israel Without ‘Strong Leadership’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The 2024 presidential election is a matter of “life or death,” argued Republican spokesperson Elizabeth Pipko, who noted that the U.S. and Israel share the same “evil” enemy while warning that “weak leadership” could lead to an October 7-like tragedy on American soil.

In a conversation with Jewish News Syndicate (JNS), published Tuesday, Pipko, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee (RNC), emphasized that the 2024 election is not just political but a matter of “life or death,” arguing that the current threats against the Jewish State reflect a shared danger for both Israel and the U.S. under what she describes as “weak leadership.”

“People are being slaughtered by an evil that’s not just an enemy of Israel, but it’s an enemy of ours, too,” she said.

According to JNS, Pipko, a former model and founder of a movement encouraging Jewish Democrats to switch parties, explained that Republican support for Israel symbolizes broader values, such as strength and security.

“Support for Israel against an enemy like Hamas is everything that we believe in and stand for as a country,” she said, adding that Israel’s security concerns should resonate with Americans at large.

‘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.

Trump Says He ‘Took a Bullet to the Head’ Thanks to Dems

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump said he “probably took a bullet to the head” in response to overheated rhetoric from Vice President Kamala and Democrats, referring to his near-assassination at a Pennsylvania campaign rally on July 13.

“I probably took a bullet to the head because of the things that they say about me,” the 45th president shot back when Harris charged that he would “weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies.”

“They talk about democracy — I’m a threat to democracy,” he added.

“They’re the threat to democracy, with their Russia, Russia, Russia investigation that went nowhere.”

Trump, 78, and Harris, 59, sparred at their first debate on ABC Tuesday night in Philadelphia, just 55 days ahead of the November election. (Read more from “Trump Says He ‘Took a Bullet to the Head’ Thanks to Dems” HERE)

Fact Check: Kamala Harris Claims She Was Raised in the Middle Class

By Breitbart. CLAIM: Vice President Kamala Harris claimed during Tuesday night’s presidential debate that she had a middle-class upbringing.

VERDICT: Mostly false. Harris had a rich Canadian upbringing, growing up in Westmount — a majority English neighborhood in the French province of Quebec.

When asked if Americans are better off today than they were four years ago, Harris completely dodged the question, instead beginning with this line: “So, I was raised as a middle-class kid, and I am actually the only person on this stage who has a plan that is about lifting up the middle class and working people of America.”

Continuing to dodge the actual question, she said:

I believe in the ambition, the aspirations, the dreams of the American people, and that is why I imagine and have, actually, a plan to build what I call an opportunity economy. Because, here’s the thing, we know that we have a shortage of homes and housing, and the cost of housing is too expensive for far too many people. We know that young families need support to raise their children.

Donald Trump, Kamala Harris Face off for First Time

By Breitbart. . .Coming back from the first commercial break, Muir turns to Trump and asks him how he would end the war in Ukraine and whether he wants Ukraine to win the war. Trump said he wants to end the war, and he noted how the U.S. has put hundreds of billions of tax dollars into the war and he called out Harris for failing to get Europe to pay its fair share. He noted how Putin and Zelensky do not respect Biden, and he warns that this could “lead to World War 3” and that President Biden is missing in action and he was thrown aside “like a dog.”

Trump says Kamala “hates Israel,” something Harris denies. Trump also says he would end the war in Ukraine before he even takes office. Then Harris claims Trump said Putin “can do whatever the hell he wants and go into Ukraine,” even though Putin did so when Harris was leading the country as Vice President.

The discussion has moved backward to the 2020 election, and now Harris is claiming that Trump was “fired by 81 million Americans”–the vote total for Biden in 2020–four years ago. Harris then claims world leaders are “laughing at” Trump, but then Trump cites several world leaders back at Harris including particularly Viktor Orban of Hungary.

Trump then bashes Harris for getting zero votes but taking the nomination away from Biden, who got 14 million votes. “I’ll let you in on a little secret,” Trump says. “He [Biden] hates her [Harris].”

There is another emerging theme here where the moderators keep “fact-checking” Trump–sometimes accurately, sometimes not–live during the debate, but allowing Harris to openly and repeatedly lie nonstop from the stage. Harris continues making ugly frowning faces.

The ABC News Bias: Consistent Negative Coverage for Trump, 100% Positive Coverage for Kamala

/58 Comments/in , /by

In the realm of news reporting, media bias has long been a point of contention, but recent findings from the Media Research Center’s (MRC) NewsBusters shed new light on how ABC’s “World News Tonight” exemplifies this issue. The analysis reveals a stark contrast in how the program handles Vice President Kamala Harris compared to former President Donald Trump.

According to the MRC report, an analysis of 100 campaign stories from July 21 to September 6 demonstrates a troubling trend: a 100 percent positive spin on reporting about Harris, juxtaposed with a staggering 93 percent negative spin on Trump. This discrepancy is not just a minor quirk but a clear indication of systemic bias in how political figures are portrayed on the network.

For Harris, “World News Tonight” showcased 25 positive statements with no counterbalancing criticism. This contrasts sharply with Trump’s coverage, which featured just five positive remarks amid 66 negative ones. This 93 percent negative portrayal aligns with a broader trend of disparaging coverage of Trump, while Harris is consistently highlighted in a favorable light.

The MRC’s report further underscores this imbalance by citing specific examples. During an interview in January 2017, David Muir seemed fixated on disparaging Trump’s focus on crowd size and media coverage of his inauguration speech, despite Trump’s insistence on the positive feedback he received. Muir’s persistent questioning about crowd size, even as Trump sought to discuss the substance of his address, suggests a deliberate attempt to undermine Trump’s credibility.

In contrast, during an August 2020 interview with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Muir appeared to give Biden a platform to criticize the Trump administration’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic without pressing him on specifics.

This trend is not unique to ABC News. The coverage from CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News shows similar patterns of highly positive coverage for Harris and markedly negative coverage for Trump. CBS’s reporting on Harris was found to be 94 percent positive, while NBC’s was 71 percent positive. Conversely, Trump’s coverage was negative 77 percent of the time on CBS and 86 percent on NBC.

As “World News Tonight” prepares for the upcoming presidential debate between Harris and Trump, viewers should be aware of this bias. The consistent pattern of positive reporting for Harris and negative coverage for Trump suggests a broader issue within mainstream media—a tendency to shape narratives in favor of one political side.

Donald Trump Pulls Ahead of Kamala Harris in Major Poll — a Sign Her Campaign is Fizzling; Trump Holds Lead With ‘Remarkably Resilient’ Support

/40 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. For the first time in weeks, former President Donald Trump pulled ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris in one of the most-watched national polls — raising the prospect that her momentum has fizzled out just ahead of their debate.

Trump edged out Harris 48% to 47% among likely voters nationally, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll.

The poll mirrors the surveys from late July when Trump led Harris among likely voters just after President Biden dropped out of the race. Other polls have similarly begun to show the 45th president regaining ground against his rival weeks after the Democratic National Convention wrapped up.

Trump’s renewed razor-thin lead comes despite the fact that 70% of voters and 37% of those backing him felt that the 45th president had uttered something they found offensive.

Harris had surged in the polls across the board after getting jolted to the top of the ticket and captured the lead over Trump in the RealClearPolitics aggregate of polling. She also gained ground in the battleground state polls, which still remain largely a tossup.

New Poll Shows Trump Holds Lead With ‘Remarkably Resilient’ Support

By Fox News. Former President Donald Trump is maintaining his lead nationally, seemingly shrugging off a burst of enthusiasm for Democrats after Vice President Kamala Harris entered the race.

Trump garnered the support of 48% of likely voters, compared to 47% who indicated support for Harris, according to the latest results of the New York Times/Siena poll released on Sunday.

The results are essentially identical to the last time the New York Times/Siena poll asked voters for their preference in the aftermath of President Biden dropping out of the race in late July, with that poll also showing Trump with a 48-47 lead.

The poll comes after weeks of increased enthusiasm for the Democratic ticket after Harris took over for Biden, though the New York Times argued that it appears Trump’s support is “remarkably resilient” to the stunning changes to the election landscape.

The poll found that Harris has yet to sell voters on her vision for the country, with 28% of respondents indicating that they felt like they needed to know more about her in order for her to earn their support. In contrast, only 9% indicated similar concerns about Trump. (Read more from “New Poll Shows Trump Holds Lead With ‘Remarkably Resilient’ Support” HERE)

Leftist Law School Goes Anti-Christian With New Course About ‘Age of Trump’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A top public university’s law school is offering a class this fall that aims to explore the U.S.’ political shift towards “authoritarian Christianist nationalism” in the “age of Trump,” according to an email obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The University of Colorado Boulder’s Law School class, titled “Statutory Interpretation,” is offered to second-year law students and will hinge on topics of relevance in the current election season, including former president Donald Trump’s legal battles and the Supreme Court’s supposed “legitimacy crisis,” professor Paul Campos told students in an email obtained by DCNF. Campos noted in the email that the course could be more aptly named “The Crisis of the American Legal System in the Age of Trump.”

“[It] isn’t surprising that [the school would] offer such a course, but it is disappointing,” a law student who alerted the DCNF of the course said, mentioning multiple instances of similar bias experienced at the school. The student requested anonymity in order to “avoid retaliation” from the school.

“When I learned constitutional law, I learned it from a professor that openly called for the rewriting of the constitution. Students in that same class complained about the fact that “non-college educated” voters in rural America could affect elections at all,” the student told the DCNF. Professors at the university, he said, “tout the likes of Ginsburg and Sotomayor, reading their opinions as though it were gospel. I have yet to hear critiques on the liberal justices, but I often hear critiques on the likes of Justice Gorsuch, who once taught at the school.”

Course topics will include abortion and the “current legitimacy crisis” of the Supreme Court and will discuss how they create a “fundamental threat to social and political national stability,” according to the email.

Former Federal Prosecutor Says Judge Delaying Sentencing May ‘Signal’ He Plans to Jail Trump ‘After the Election’

/4 Comments/in , /by

Former federal prosecutor Andrew Cherkasky said on Friday that Judge Juan Merchan’s decision to postpone former President Donald Trump’s sentencing could indicate his intention to jail the former president following the November election.

Trump’s sentencing was slated for Sept. 18, but Merchan delayed the date on Friday “if necessary” to Nov. 26, according to the order. Cherkasky, on “America Reports,” suggested Merchan might have delayed the sentencing because imprisoning Trump before the election could be catastrophic, whereas doing so afterward would be more practical.

“[George Washington University law professor] Jonathan Turley was just explaining, perhaps this is a path to him finding or reaching a decision that does not have jail time for Donald Trump. I think it could be a signal of the opposite, that trying to jail the president ahead of the election would have been disastrous for the nation at large,” Cherkasky said. “But if he waits until after the election, then that becomes more of a viable option for him. I’m not saying I think that’s necessarily going to happen. I’m kind of playing it from both sides of the deck, thinking about what he might be thinking in terms of a final sentence in this case.” (Read more from “Former Federal Prosecutor Says Judge Delaying Sentencing May ‘Signal’ He Plans to Jail Trump ‘After the Election'” HERE)

Trump Pledges to Create Elon Musk-Led ‘Government Efficiency Commission’ in Major Economic Address

/1 Comment/in , /by

During a major economic speech on Thursday, former President Donald Trump pledged to create a “government efficiency commission” spearheaded by X owner Elon Musk if elected this November.

This commission will be “tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms,” the 2024 GOP presidential nominee said during his address to The Economic Club of New York.

The announcement came days after The Washington Post reported that Trump was considering forming such a group, comprised of leading business leaders, to identify and slash wasteful government programs.

Throughout his address, the former president voiced support for lowering the corporate tax rate to 15 percent for companies “that make their product in America,” which is lower than the current 21 percent established by Republicans’ 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act. (The previous rate was 35 percent). He also pledged to slash at least 10 federal regulations for every new one created, expanding upon a policy enacted during his first term.

“I took care of our economy like I would take care of my own company in every decision,” Trump said. “I asked, will I create jobs here, or will I be sending jobs overseas? Will it make America richer and stronger, or will it make our country weaker and poorer? … I always put America first every single time.” (Read more from “Trump Pledges to Create Elon Musk-Led ‘Government Efficiency Commission’ in Major Economic Address” HERE)
