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

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.

China Hawks Slam Biden-Harris Admin for Ignoring Growing Evidence Beijing Is Running Spy Ops Out of Diplomatic Posts

The Biden State Department has seemingly ignored mounting evidence of China running influence and intel operations from its diplomatic posts. And national security experts and China hardliners say Americans shouldn’t expect the administration to take action anytime soon.

Linda Sun, a former high-level official under Gov. Kathy Hochul, was arrested on Sep. 3 on allegations of acting on behalf of China’s government at the direction of the New York Chinese consulate, adding to a growing list of allegations of Chinese influence activities. The State Department has several tools to deter Beijing and Chinese consulates from such activities but has not taken any visible measures to do so, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“There is a range of things the State Department could be doing… The least they could do is to reiterate the warnings of the previous [Trump administration], and where they see need of it, improve upon the warnings of the previous administration,” Steve Yates, a senior fellow at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) and former national security official, told the DCNF. “That hasn’t happened, and I don’t expect it to happen now.”

Yates pointed to an example where the Trump administration shut down a Chinese consulate in Texas in 2020 over concerns that it was a hub for espionage and influence activities. The Biden administration has not closed any of the four remaining Chinese consulates located across the U.S.

Kamala Harris’s Debate Drama: A Hollywood Production?

During Tuesday’s presidential debate, Kamala Harris’s theatrical performance left many viewers scratching their heads and laughing in disbelief. The Democratic nominee’s over-the-top facial expressions seemed to be part of a carefully orchestrated display intended to capture the spotlight from former President Donald Trump.

According to former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, Harris’s dramatic debate antics were no accident. In a recent Fox News interview, Gabbard revealed that Harris had been receiving acting lessons and was coached by Hollywood insiders in preparation for the debate. “She’s locked herself in a hotel room, taking extreme acting lessons,” Gabbard said. “She’s got Hollywood advisers, stages, the Hollywood lights in the hopes that her friends in ABC and propaganda media declare her the winner.”

Gabbard, who has recently endorsed Trump and is serving as an advisor to his campaign, expressed skepticism about Harris’s approach. She believes that Harris’s theatrical performance might be an attempt to manipulate voters rather than offer substantive policy proposals. “But I don’t think American people are going to fall for this,” Gabbard added.

The debate’s social media reaction to Harris’s antics was mixed. Her exaggerated facial expressions, especially when Trump was speaking, were widely ridiculed online. This spectacle has only fueled suspicions that Harris’s performance was part of a larger strategy to sway public opinion through media manipulation rather than genuine political debate.

The connection between Harris and Hollywood elites, who have fervently supported her campaign, has also drawn scrutiny. Disney executive Dana Walden, a key figure overseeing ABC News, has been a significant supporter of Harris. Walden’s donations to Harris’s political campaigns and her close personal ties to the Harris family—she is friends with Kamala Harris and her husband, entertainment lawyer Doug Emhoff—raise questions about potential conflicts of interest.

Harris once credited Dana Walden and her husband, Matt, for her successful marriage during a 2022 fundraiser, underscoring the deep connections between the Harris campaign and Hollywood’s power brokers. This cozy relationship between Harris and Hollywood insiders only adds fuel to the fire of concerns about media bias and influence.

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:

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

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

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)

Massive Retailer Files for Bankruptcy as Biden-Harris Inflation Continues to Wreak Havoc on Economy

U.S. discount retail chain Big Lots filed for bankruptcy Monday as Biden-Harris era inflation continues to weaken consumer spending and push retailers out of business.

The company filed for Chapter 11 protection after posting consecutive quarterly losses since 2022 and being forced to close numerous stores, operating roughly 1,300 stores in the U.S. as of May compared with 1,425 in early 2023, according to The Wall Street Journal. Big Lots also announced it had secured over $700 million in funding to guide the company through the bankruptcy process and ensuing sales process, with an affiliate of private equity firm Nexus Capital Management expected to acquire the company.

“The actions we are taking today will enable us to move forward with new owners who believe in our business and provide financial stability,” Chief Executive Bruce Thorn said in a Monday press release.

The Chapter 11 filing follows a wave of bankruptcies in the retail industry, with 21 retailers filing for bankruptcy through July 16 — a record for the same period of any year since the pandemic began in 2020, the WSJ reported. The retail sector lost 11,100 jobs in August, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. . .

“Like many other retail businesses, the Company [Big Lots] has been adversely affected by recent macroeconomic factors such as high inflation and interest rates that are beyond its control,” the company wrote in its press release. “The prevailing economic trends have been particularly challenging to Big Lots, as its core customers curbed their discretionary spending on the home and seasonal product categories that represent a significant portion of the Company’s revenue.” (Read more from “Massive Retailer Files for Bankruptcy as Biden-Harris Inflation Continues to Wreak Havoc on Economy” HERE)

Violent Crime Creating ‘Dystopian Hell’ Despite Biden’s Claim America is Safer

President Joe Biden’s policies have not contributed to a decrease in violent crime, multiple sources told the Daily Caller, despite the Biden-Harris administration seizing on a recent report that seemed to show major cities were safer in 2024.

One liberal-run city is a “dystopian hell,” remarked a police union representative to the Caller. Additionally, changes in reporting protocols create the “illusion” of safety, according to one law enforcement officer.

A report by the Major Cities Chiefs Association captured data on violent crime from 69 cities. New York City was not included because it did not submit violent crime numbers for the first half of this year. An Axios analysis of the data found a 6% overall decrease in violent crime in the first half of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023. The data appeared to show steep drops in violent crime, including a 41% drop in Columbus, Ohio – the largest decline in the country.

Officers in the city, however, face a starkly different reality.

“Our officers and the citizens they serve are still battling violent crime daily,” Brian Steel, President of the Ninth Capital City Lodge Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) in Ohio, told the Caller. “Recent changes in crime reporting have done little more than create the illusion that all is well.”

Kamala Harris Insults Americans With Her Dishonest Flip-Flops

. . .Vice President Kamala Harris might be a woman without conviction, but she’s trying to get away with selling more than a few contradictions.

On Wednesday, Axios’ Alex Thompson reported on a “lengthy ‘fact-check’ ” forwarded by the Harris team to their allies in the press revising the unpopular policy positions she articulated just a few years ago.

Among the assertions made: Harris “does not support an electric vehicle mandate.”

. . .Back in 2019, Harris co-sponsored a bill that would have required automobile manufacturers to produce only electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles, completely phasing out the gas-powered ones that most Americans depend on by 2040.

During her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination (remember when you had to run for that?), Harris touted her support for an “accelerated model” under which that transition would be made by 2035. (Read more from “Kamala Harris Insults Americans With Her Dishonest Flip-Flops” HERE)
