Vice President Kamala Harris doubled down in her first interview since ascending to the top of the Democratic presidential ticket that she would not ban fracking if elected, claiming she made "clear" where she stood on fracking during the 2020 election. "No, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban fracking. As vice president, I did not ban fracking. As president, I will not ban fracking," Harris said. Before Harris dropped her bid for president in 2019 and joined President Biden’s ticket, she said in a CNN town hall "there’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking"

It used to be called 'talking out of the side of your mouth. It is a reassurance to her Marxist followers that she hasn't really changed her mind, only that she has to lie now to get elected. Wink!

As a 40-yr veteran of the upstream oil business, let me be perfectly clear: fracking is the only reason America is in its current state of economic health. Without it, domestic oil production will collapse, and America will be wholly dependent on imports. Pick one, but choose wisely.

She is lying to get votes. Pure and simple. I am not a "journalist" and do not pretend to be one. However, has Bash never heard of a follow up question? Such as. Then how do you explain this (show her video of her stating original beliefs on any given subject and read quotes of her own words), and why did you change your mind? It's really not that hard. And the jobs created numbers are a big lie. Jobs coming back after we were released from solitary confinement are not newly created jobs. She is an airhead. Just because she spoke words after every question does not mean she answered the question at all let alone truthfully. She LIED about FJB and his fried brain until the very end for YEARS. That should disqualify her right there.

It is as if Kamala doesn't know that video recordings and voice recordings actually exist. Harris does understand that the internet is forever and once she says something, it is broadcast and saved around the world for use at the most opportune time?

To explain fracking: Today's oil reservoirs are very impermeable, and range in thickness from 50 to 200'. Most of the ones targeted today exist at depths of 8,000' to 12,000'...thin target, great depth. Freshwater sources are never found deeper than about 2000'...all the formation water deeper than that is way too salty to drink. To aid the oil to drain into wellbores. fracking is used to create the needed cracks. The kicker is that fracking is very expensive...and no company will spend more than it absolutely must to create the needed cracks. Creating cracks that extend beyond the 200' reservoir is wasted money...so companies have an immense financial incentive to limit the size fracks they pump. No commercial enterprise will ever spend the money to frack an oil reservoir at 10,000' with a stimulation that will contact the far more shallow, freshwater reservoirs. Unless they have a desire to lose money.

The Left loves to throw around the term 'fracking'. It sounds kind of mean, violent, like breaking or cracking Gaia. How teasing, or coaxing? You know, the oil is playing hard to get, so we have to coax it out of the ground. Yes, I know it's the legitimate industry term. But to the Left it's all about perceptions.

The 1970s science fiction TV series Battlestar Galactica was remade for TV several years later. In the remake, the writers got around the issue of using the f-word for cursing on TV by changing it to "frack". I believe her when she says she will not ban fracking. She adores fracking and plans to frack all of us.

Kamala’s Stolen Working-Class Valor 12 replies

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has been found guilty of puffing up his military record to look more manly – also known as stolen valor. Now it looks as though Kamala Harris has committed her own version of stolen valor by claiming a working-class medal that she may never have earned. Harris and her campaign have been bragging about her modest roots and her supposed connection to working-class folks, exemplified by her having toiled at McDonald’s while in college, a claim she repeatedly makes in her speeches and that came up countless times at the Democratic National Convention.

Kennedy Jr.’s name from their general election ballots this November despite his requests and withdrawal from the race. Kennedy announced last Friday that he was suspending his presidential campaign and would endorse former President Trump. He said he would seek to remove his name from the ballots in states that could theoretically determine the outcome of the election but would keep his name on ballots that are either solidly Democrat or solidly Republican.

While at times it’s been hard to pin down just what Kamala Harris stands for – somehow she’s both a tough prosecutor and an advocate for defunding the police – she is at her core a hard-left progressive. But her campaign team, which includes the mainstream media, is putting in the extra hours to recast her as a centrist. Don’t fall for the lie. In the weeks following her party coronation, never-received-a-vote-outside-of-California Harris has been presented to voters as a “sober-minded centrist.” Other media outlets and personalities have eagerly covered her fundamental transition. She no longer opposes fracking.

How quickly our views evolve! A few years ago, when Elon Musk was giving millions in support to Barack Obama, Democrats thought he was just fine. Now they see Musk as a racist, a danger to the world order, and a threat to Democrats. The left was already upset with Musk for purchasing Twitter (“X”), and for allowing the Orange Menace et al. to air their views on that website. Recently, Musk did three more things that rankle Democrats: he re-posted a meme that makes fun of Kamala Harris; he talked with Trump for two hours in a conversation seen by millions on the “X” platform; and, most dastardly,

The "mainstream" media messaging machine spent the whole Democratic convention channeling the notion of "reintroducing" Kamala Harris to America, relying on the assumption that vice presidents are only seen and not heard. For all the journalists who suddenly want to channel the same aspirational biracial narrative that marked Barack Obama's march to the White House, we must note that these autobiographies can be heavily shaped and edited, which is why the word "reintroduction" should land like a brick. Obama's "autobiography" was riddled with fictional elements, even composite girlfriends.

Stunning new video shows what a proposed glitzy $12 billion casino complex in Hudson Yards will look like while walking the High Line. The animated rendering of the ambitious Manhattan project by Related Companies and Wynn Resorts is partly aimed at countering opposition from advocates of the High Line park and other critics who claim the plan would be too intrusive and obstruct views. The video tries to make the case that the proposed complex — including a 5.6 acre park and spacious greenery between and around the buildings — actually blends in well with the High Line and the waterfront.

It’s really not Jack Smith, so we should drop the pretenses. Mary McCord, Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissmann have recrafted a new DC indictment against President Trump by dropping around 10 pages of fraudulent evidence from the prior indictment and labeling it a “superseding indictment.” The 36-page indictment is available HERE. Essentially, after the supreme court decision on immunity, the majority of the previous case against President Trump was likely to fail, so Mary, Norm and Andrew went back and modified the previously lawfare to fit a narrower scale as requested by the supreme court.

Either way, the knives seem to be out for the Biden family after Joe Biden stepped aside from the 2024 presidential election. In three leaks in the last month, members of the permanent political class in Washington disclosed damaging information about the Biden family. One: Hunter Biden accepted $3,101,258 from Romanian partner Gabriel Popoviciu to “influence U.S. government agencies” when Joe Biden served as vice president, Special Counsel David Weiss said in a court filing.

On Thursday, former President Donald Trump generated a firestorm of controversy in pro-life political circles.[Snip]In response, Trump stated, “I think the six-week is too short. There has to be more time.” Many interpreted his comments to mean he would vote in favor of Amendment 4.[Snip]Lately, many pro-lifers have been frustrated with Trump because he has offered them precious little in terms of commitments on abortion policy.[Snip]By simply raising concerns about the full implications of Amendment 4, Trump could win back the support of some skeptical pro-life voters. More importantly, he would be performing a valuable service for pro-lifers in Florida and across the country.

New Pennsylvania Poll Shows Just How Stupid

Is Kamala Harris having second thoughts about picking Tim Walz as her running mate? If she isn't, she probably should be. A new poll out of Pennsylvania is shedding some light on just how much of an own-goal that was. Before getting there, though, the topline is really good news for Donald Trump, showing him tied in the head-to-head and leading in the five-way matchup (which is more relevant). It appears Harris' momentum has been completely halted, with no perceivable bounce from the DNC. Bob Casey, the Democrat senator up for re-election in Pennsylvania, only being up two points is also a huge result for Republicans.

It doesn't take an expert to know that Kamala Harris was out of her element during the softball interview with CNN. She's been avoiding interviews and press conferences for weeks, and despite finally agreeing to an interview with a friendly network conducted by a friendly host, she still needed her male running mate to accompany her. But it should come as no surprise that a body language expert who analyzed Kamala's performance during the interview told Fox News Digital that Harris lacked both confidence and a presidential demeanor. According to Susan Constantine, Harris frequently looked down during the CNN interview, which suggested that she was “not confident in what she’s saying.”
