Team Harris Swears Kamala Won’t Kill
Fracking, But Will Anyone Believe Them?

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has said she no longer endorses a ban on fracking, but political strategists and energy experts say the sudden policy shift will do little to move the needle with key voters in November. Harris said in 2020 there is “no question” she would end fracking if elected president, but her campaign recently told The Hill she no longer wants to outlaw the practice after videos of her endorsing a ban resurfaced following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 race. The campaign can walk back Harris’ old fracking position as it pleases,

So what the Harris campaign is saying is that we will tell you what you want to hear after analyzing the polling data.

Biden has killed the oil industry in New Mexico, which should be as prosperous as neighboring west Texas. You cross the border and activity dramatically slows, then stops. They do it by things like tbt BLM (the government agency, not the racists) denying simple permits to run a flow line from a well to a tank. Demanding environmental studies prior to drilling on land used for oil production for 100 years (and that is so barren the blew up nukes because no one noticed). Literally everything is a struggle and goes to die on bereaucrat desks with no recourse to make them act.

Will anyone ask her to explain her shift in policy? I would love to hear her try to articulate her change in positions. Too bad no journalist will ask the question.

Harris is trying to do what the Democrat politicians always do, move to “the center” at least until the election, then move back to her past “lifetime leftist” positions. If you believe the liberal media, as the election approaches they will be claiming, falsely, that Harris is at least as conservative as the wimpy Republicans, except the extreme MAGA Trump!

Substitute the word "baking" for "fracking" and convince any rational person that any president has the constitutional authority to ban said activity. The baking ban is in the works at the DNC but, better yet, substitute "twerking" for "fracking" and watch the core democrat base of our population go to arms to secure this sacred urban rite. All fracking does is underpin modern civilization by freeing oil and gas from tight, non-permeable rock formations, while freeing the U.S. from the Islamic republic countries who currently supply the fuels that democrats must use to travel the world, preaching their "green" sermons against any non-democrat use of the same fuels that democrats consume and waste in great abundance, while cravenly enriching our sworn enemies who actively seek our nation's destruction and "Death to Americans."

When CNN calls out a Democrat for lying, it’s worth sitting up and taking notice.

Like, we know we got to take this seriously. And can you believe they put that thing in writing? Read it.

Since April and before Democrats replaced Biden as their nominee, Republicans have grown by 34,045 voter registrations in Pennsylvania, while Independents (many of whom will vote for Trump) increased by 41,475. Democrat voter registrations fell by 2,214 during this recent period. Democrats’ new ticket for president has a problem in Pennsylvania, without which Democrats cannot win the presidency. Kamala Harris is unsuited to become president, as illustrated by a recent study.
President Trump Announces New Policy Proposal
- No Taxes on Social Security for Seniors

This is a very significant policy proposal. President Trump is supporting a position that Seniors should not pay taxes on Social Security income. This comes on the heels of President Trump supported policy that income received from service tips should not be taxed. Combined, both of these policies would result in massive numbers of middle-class Americans having more money in their bank accounts. The national economic benefits of these two combined policies are extremely significant and could actually offset the financial damage done by Joe Biden. The timing of this announcement coincides with President Trump visiting Chicago.
Kamala Harris, Candidate of Myth 6 replies

So, Kamala Harris is the new Democratic candidate for president. And, we’ve been told, she is incredible. Not merely serviceable, a middle innings relief pitcher brought in when your starter suddenly implodes in the third inning. She is the Mariano Rivera of politics. She’s lights-out. She’s charismatic, fascinating, quick on her feet, charming. She is, in the words of the legacy media, a historic candidate—not just because she’s a black woman, a fact that explains her lightning-fast political ascent but that only Democrats are allowed to mention, and only then in the context of explaining why America requires a black female president—but because she is, apparently, so good at this.

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Iran by what the terrorist group said was an airstrike carried out by Israel early Wednesday morning as Iran’s Supreme Leader has vowed revenge. Haniyeh, who was one of the most senior Hamas officials, was in Tehran to attend the inauguration ceremony of Iran’s new president when he was killed, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announced. The Revolutionary Guards did not comment on how or who killed Haniyeh, but Hamas pointed the finger at Israel, stating the leader was killed “in a Zionist airstrike on his residence in Tehran after he participated in the inauguration of Iran’s new president.”

A lawsuit, brought in December 2022 and updated in March 2024, by Rep. Ronny Jackson and victims of terror attacks in Israel, alleges that President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken "knowingly and unlawfully" provided more than $1.5 billion in aid to Gaza and the West Bank since taking office. Biden and Blinken have "known for years" that the US aid is providing "material support" for Hamas' "tunnels, rockets, weapon procurement, and command and control infrastructure,"

Kamala Harris is enjoying a honeymoon of sorts — the media handmaidens are giddy with excitement over her TikTok coconut memes. She is girl power personified, the female Obama, a strutting, dancing, exuberant Wonder Woman gushing on the phone with her besties Michelle and Barack. The belated endorsement by the Obamas caught on camera and pumped out on social media in a cringe-inducing campaign video last week was typical of her terminal inauthenticity and social ineptitude. The two Obamas haughtily uttered 55 words between them and were on the phone for a total of 20 seconds, but Kamala cooed and gushed so effusively you would think she had just won an Oscar.

On Saturday evening a Hezbollah rocket killed 12 children on a soccer field in the town of Majdal Shams, on the Golan Heights in northern Israel. For many months it has been said that Israel is “on the brink” of all-out war with Hezbollah. It’s been repeated so often that the phrase has lost its urgency. I wrote it myself here in January after spending time in the eerily depopulated swath of the country just north of my parents’ town, Nahariya, in easy rocket range near the Lebanon border.

Once again, the Democrats are offering up a woman candidate for president. And once again it is an unlikeable candidate who owes her career to a far more skillful male politician. In Hillary’s case, it is her husband Bill, a charismatic personality adept at the game. In Harris’ case, it was her lover Willie Brown who boosted her up the ladder and showered her with expensive gifts.When in 2019 Harris ran for president, she was highly promoted by the media but drew little support and dropped out quickly. The Los Angeles Times said she never should have even entered the race.

If you've had the stomach to watch the news for the last two weeks, you've likely noticed the Pravda press media mudpuppies trying to spin Trump's dauntless response to an assassin's bullet into a "meh" moment. Just when you thought MSNBC's Joy Reid couldn't possibly dishonor herself to a lower level of putrid, she took humiliation to a whole new level of cringe. Watch Reid majestically beclown herself as she suggests Joe Biden's "recovery" from an alleged case of the Bat stew flu is equal to Trump taking a bullet—bonus points for questioning whether Trump was actually shot in the first place.

Khelif advanced to the quarterfinals of the women's 66kg category after unloading two strong punches on Angela Carini, who shrugged off attempts by the Algerian to shake her hand and collapsed to her knees in floods of tears. An Italian coach said Carini had suffered a badly hurt nose and the official decision was listed as an abandonment.

Carini was punched twice by Khelif in the opening round of their women's welterweight bout in Paris.

Republicans are just waking up to the horror that they’ve been had. The Trump campaign seems blindsided by Kamala Harris. Having avoided the ordeal of a primary, Harris dances onto the national scene appearing well-rested and unscathed. In polls, she is already tied with Trump—erasing his sizable lead in just one week. Scrambling to make sense of what just happened, J.D. Vance has called her extra-democratic appointment a “coup.” He has suggested it cheated voters out of the chance to pick their own nominee. But a “coup” involves regime change. This switcheroo involved none. That’s why you don’t see members of the Biden administration objecting.

The conventional description of the American political system holds that Republicans represent the rich. Democrats, by contrast, are said to represent the “little guy,” including blue-collar workers and low-income minorities. The most Interesting thing about Donald Trump’s foray into politics is that he would like to turn that picture upside down. So maybe this is a good time to ask: Why do people vote the way they do?It’s certainly hard to square the conventional view with the way many sophisticated people vote. Among high-income voters, almost as many identify as Democrat as Republican. In general, the higher the level of education, the more liberal people say they are;
