Kamala Harris has a plan. It's supposed to be her "economic plan" but no one really believes she's serious about implementing it.
If Harris believes it, we're in deep trouble.
"My guess is that a lot of the things she said in the past about what she really wants to do, like the Green New Deal, for example… getting carbon-neutral by 2030 – all that kind of stuff would cause a deep recession toward carbon," former White House economist Kevin Hassett told Fox Business's "The Big Money Show" Thursday.
"Carbon-neutral by 2030 is almost impossible. 75% of our electricity comes from burning fossil fuels.

The United States, Egypt, and Qatar have finalized a cease-fire proposal to halt the ongoing Gaza war between Israel and Hamas after holding discussions in Doha over the last two days.
The three nations released a joint statement on Friday announcing that they presented both sides of the conflict with a finalized cease-fire deal, and plan on holding discussions in Cairo next week to conclude the negotiations.
The proposal is consistent with the principles President Joe Biden laid out in a three-part cease-fire plan on May 31, the statement says. “This proposal builds on areas of agreement over the past week, and bridges remaining gaps

Vice President Kamala Harris laid out more than a dozen policy proposals on Friday aimed at lowering costs for middle-class Americans and supporting young families, marking her first attempt at laying out an economic agenda since becoming the Democrats’ presumptive presidential nominee.
Harris’s campaign unveiled the policy proposals ahead of a speech in North Carolina on Friday afternoon, where she is expected to tout her economic agenda and contrast it with her 2024 GOP rival, former president Donald Trump.
The move comes as Republicans have criticized Harris’s campaign for its lack of concrete policy proposals, besides her abandonment of several progressive policies

The Biden-Harris administration is granting citizenship to immigrants at speeds not seen in over a decade while a wholly disinterested mainstream media is doing little more than bragging about it.
There was a time in this country when journalists would find stealing an election a topic of interest. A threat to democracy, even.
Instead, the New York Times recently published a glowing report indicating that over the first nine months of the fiscal year, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USIS) is averaging under five months to process naturalization applications.
That process took almost exactly a year on average in 2021. What could possibly be happening in 2024

Kamala Harris finally came out with a policy position. Her prior one was one that she swiped from her opponent, former President Donald Trump — no tax on tips. Her new policy was going after "price gouging" by corporations, saying that she'd crack down on "excessive prices" and "excessive profits."
What qualifies as "excessive"? This smacks of the Soviet Union and communism, in addition to being truly bad policy. In the U.S., the government doesn't control/dictate to private companies. Now, what's pretty funny is that the Washington Post recognized this too, in an op-ed entitled: "When your opponent calls you 'communist,' maybe don't propose price controls?"

"Don't write about Kamala Harris on Friday," I told myself Thursday night. "Just take one day off for your sanity." But then her latest absurdity crossed my desk and there was no way I couldn't share it with you. I'll just keep my sanity on hold for another three months.
How about Washington — that's yours and my taxes, bub — ponying up a cool $25,000 for first-time homebuyers?
We know how that will work out, don't we? That's right: every house will instantly become $25,000 more expensive. That's a 10% bump on what the price of a starter home used to be. But thanks to Bidenflation, Harrisflation's down payment assistance will

Well, this is sorta embarrassing.
After all that loose talk about Russia for some strange reason, blowing up its own cash cow Nord Stream pipeline, it turns out that the Ukrainian military and some oligarchs from the country did the dirty deed with the knowledge of Zelinskyy, the CIA, and the highest levels of both governments. It's an odd tale told by the Wall Street Journal, and the German police have been quietly investigating the bombing for two years despite political pressure to hide the facts, and their investigation backs up what the Journal has found.
What makes it all so complicated is that Ukrainians, including their top

Political campaigns are all about trajectory. There’s point A and point B: Where you are today, and where you need to be in November. Your campaign plan bridges the gaps between those two points. Nothing more, nothing less.
A campaign plan is a roadmap.
But it’s a roadmap of wet, muddy terrain that’s constantly changing. Sometimes, new obstacles appear out of nowhere. And when the terrain changes, so must your roadmap — or you’ll get stuck.
Since Biden dropped out, Donald Trump has been following the wrong roadmap and now he’s stuck in the wrong direction.

When discussing the media’s biases, we often talk about biases by omission or commission. But tonight we must also consider bias by zone-flooding, wherein the media avoid talking about something potentially detrimental to Democrats by backfilling newscast time with nonsense about Republicans. Consider tonight’s reporting on the presidential election, with maximum focus on the ongoing “Trump says mean things” cycle, which means less time devoted to Vice President Kamala Harris’s upcoming speech proposing price controls. Here’s NBC’s Garrett Haake: GARRETT HAAKE: And he was pressed about fellow Republicans calling for him to focus on Harris' record, instead of unleashing personal attacks.

Vice President Kamala Harris owns “Bidenomics” and will not depart from the policies that fueled about 20 percent inflation on average across the board, President Joe Biden suggested Thursday.
Biden’s comment comes just one day before Harris is to deliver a plan to fix the U.S. economy under the administration’s direction.
Only one in four voters rated the economy under the Biden-Harris administration “excellent” or “good,” a Financial Times and University of Michigan Ross School of Business poll found Monday.
Media reports suggest she plans to push price controls

The Biden-Harris administration’s inflation has destroyed wages as Americans know it, with the average U.S. worker experiencing a 3.9 percent pay cut since the Democrat duo first took office.
Using an inflation scale adjusted to 1982-1984 dollars, the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics revealed that average weekly earnings are currently $382.54, down from $397.90 on inauguration day in 2021.
So, while Americans are paying over 21 percent more for groceries, 48 percent more for car insurance, and with significant increases in rent, electricity, and garbage services, they have experienced a 3.9 percent drop in real wages since Biden-Harris took over.

When Vice President Kamala Harris unveils her economic policy proposals in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Friday, it will include a proposal to provide up to $25,000 in down payment support for first-time homebuyers, according to a campaign official.
The campaign is vowing that during its first term, the Harris-Walz administration would provide working families who have paid their rent on time for two years and are buying their first home up to $25,000 in down-payment assistance, with more generous support for first-generation homeowners. In a preview statement obtained by ABC News, the campaign says, "Many Americans work hard at their jobs, save, and pay their rent on time
