A Little Debate Preview

Get your hip boot on, it’s debate day in America. You’ll probably want some nose plugs too, as it’s going to get really smelly around here. What can we expect from the debate? I suspect we’ll be hearing a lot of challenging of Donald Trump from the moderators and Kamala Harris. Since the mics will be muted when the other person is talking, Kamala can’t use her pathetic “I’m speaking” garbage, but that will not stop her from scrambling for the victim card.

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.
President Biden’s nonchalance about Chinese spying, hacking and election interference is a cause for national worry — and his indifference to the Chinese threat extends even to his own White House.
Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su’s catastrophic 2021 face-plant while serving as California’s labor secretary made China stronger, while making the world a more dangerous place for Americans and American ideals. Yet Kamala Harris and her backers, including United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain, say they’d like Su to stay in her post after Jan. 20, despite the Senate’s refusal to confirm her nomination for 548 days and counting.
That makes her America’s longest-serving unconfirmed cabinet officer.
It’s debate night, and these aren’t the headlines the Kamala Harris camp wanted to see leading up to what could be the decisive moment for the 2024 election. The vice president must convince a large swath of voters who are undecided about her. Was this the reason for evading the press—to ensure she could make her case before a national audience when crucial swing states, like Pennsylvania, are about to begin early voting? It’s a gamble, especially with a candidate as awkward, unqualified, and nearly braindead as Joe Biden.
If moderators do their job correctly, nobody talks about them afterward. Unless one becomes a legendary moderator like Jim Lehrer, debate watchers don't remember who the moderator was. Back in 2012 CNN debate moderator Candy Crowley let her bias get the best of her and incorrectly "corrected" Republican nominee Mitt Romney's remarks about Barack Obama and the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, and her credibility was ruined. In 2016 another CNN personality, Donna Brazile, leaked primary debate questions to Hillary Clinton, and while she's not a journalist or a moderator, her actions even further damaged Americans' faith in impartial and fair political debate moderators.

Get your hip boot on, it’s debate day in America. You’ll probably want some nose plugs too, as it’s going to get really smelly around here.
What can we expect from the debate? I suspect we’ll be hearing a lot of challenging of Donald Trump from the moderators and Kamala Harris. Since the mics will be muted when the other person is talking, Kamala can’t use her pathetic “I’m speaking” garbage, but that will not stop her from scrambling for the victim card.
Today is the showdown for the 2024 race. For Roman history fans, it’s the political equivalent of the Battle of Pharsalus (or Alesia). The stakes couldn’t be higher, as this debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will likely decide the election.
This nation has endured a Democratic Party coup that booted Joe Biden from the ticket and an assassination attempt that no one likes to talk about anymore. One candidate was replaced by someone younger but equally inept in politics. Kamala will do her best to rattle Trump, but all he must do is follow the same playbook during the June debate with Biden.
Fifty days after Joe Biden quit his reelection campaign – and one day before she debates Donald Trump – Kamala Harris finally posted an “Issues” page on her website, detailing her plans if she wins the election in November. Now we know why she waited so long.
She calls this “A New Way Forward.” But it’s actually just the Biden plan with a few added wrinkles – which either have been widely panned or were stolen from Donald Trump. The day after Biden made his announcement,
New polls show Vice President Harris faces a major challenge in winning over male voters and is losing men by a bigger margin than she’s winning women in key states such as Pennsylvania, Nevada and North Carolina.
The gender gap between Democrats and Republicans isn’t new, but it’s becoming especially pronounced in the toss-up race for president. Former President Trump’s problems with female voters are well known. New polls show that Harris has just as big of a problem with male voters in some states.
At the Democratic convention in Chicago last month, Harris and her political team largely downplayed her chance of making history by becoming the first woman elected president,
The presidential election is heating up as both nominating conventions have concluded.
As we approach the home stretch of the election season, it's important to take a closer look at the opinion polls.
Where are the opinion polls now and what if anything can be inferred?
It's essential to remember that polls are a snapshot in time. They survey a small group of individuals and then extrapolate those results to the entire population, in this case, actual voters. The surveyed sample is crucial, as oversampling Republicans, Democrats, or Independents can skew the results. While statistical weighting can help even out a skewed sample, the ultimate survey occurs on election day, on Nov. 5.
At every rally, without fail, Vice President Kamala Harris gets the crowd to start chanting “we’re not going back!”
“Well, look,” she said in Pennsylvania last month, “America has tried those failed policies before, and we are not going back! We are not going back! Not going back!”
Well, look, Kamala, we want to go back! And we fervently hope and pray that most Americans do as well. And that they vote that way in November.
We want to go back to a time before Joe Biden and Kamala Harris wrecked the economy, before they unleashed the inflation monster, before they threw open the border, let criminals run free, and exuded weakness abroad.
It’s getting worse out there, and it’s getting scary, but America doesn’t have anybody in the driver’s seat. We have a crusty, desiccated zombie pretending to be president on a permanent vacation as he stares slack-jawed at “Matlock” reruns while his understudy vibes and brats around the country trying to re-up this incompetent administration for another four years of disaster. The terrifying reality is that we have millions upon millions of Third World illegal aliens on the loose within our country, and among them are not only your run-of-the-mill criminals
Liz Cheney's fifteen minutes were up several years ago, to borrow the famous phrase from the late, pop artist/filmmaking genius Andy Warhol. Yet she persists, seemingly only fixated on one goal in life: Demonizing former President Donald Trump and doing whatever she possibly can to prevent voters from returning him to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in November. RedState has written many stories on her and her family's (among others') recent endorsement of the radical leftist Dem nominee, Kamala Harris.

Taylor Swift said Tuesday she is supporting Vice President Kamala Harris in the race for president, ending speculation about whether the superstar singer would share her political views ahead of November’s election.
“Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country,” Swift wrote on Instagram, shortly after

Donald Trump got to Kamala Harris’ core problem in his debate close, waving off all her promises about what she’d do in office: “Why hasn’t she done it already?”
Hard to think of a better riposte to her “We won’t go back” slogan — which aims to appeal to Americans’ desperate desire for change from the Biden policies she shares.
Harris had a pretty smooth night: She did her homework for once, including prepping lines guaranteed to get under Trump’s skin — some of which plainly did put him off-balance.
And of course she had backup from the moderators, ABC’s David Muir and Linsey Davis —
An accounting professor at a taxpayer-funded Pennsylvania university condemned former President Donald Trump and his supporters as “fascists” during a lecture where he urged his students to vote in November, video shared with The Daily Wire shows.
William Lloyd ripped into Trump and Republicans during a managerial accounting class on September 4 at Commonwealth University-Lock Haven. The university is part of Pennsylvania’s public education system and is located in Clinton County, an area that largely backed Trump in 2020.
“Get informed. It is important. There is a lot of disinformation out there,” Lloyd told his students last week, according to a recording of the lecture shared with The Daily Wire. “And vote.
Trump reiterates: There will be blood

Six months ago, Donald Trump presented us all with a Rorschach test by predicting a “bloodbath” if he loses the 2024 election. “Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s going to be the least of it,” Trump said while discussing the economy and his tariff plan. “It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country.” Those on the left largely took Trump literally, citing how his supporters have risen up violently before, on Jan. 6, 2021. Those on the right argued that Trump was just speaking figuratively. The latter said he was talking about a metaphorical bloodbath.
I guess it was a foregone conclusion that the ABC debate was going to be a mess, but people were yelling about the moderators not being fair from the jump. It's pretty clear why Vice President Kamala Harris only wanted to do a debate with ABC, given the bias they showed.
Trump had his moments, and I wrote about one earlier. But while the moderators were all over former President Donald Trump, Harris was lying her head off without being checked the whole debate. If I wrote about all the lies, I'd still be going into tomorrow, so I'll stick to some of the highlights.
She spread every hoax
A CNN flash poll conducted on Tuesday showed that Vice President Kamala Harris beat former President Donald Trump in the first presidential debate, 63 to 37 percent.
Going into the debate on Tuesday night, the 605 registered U.S. voters polled by CNN said they were split 50/50 on who would perform well. Following the debate, 63 percent said Harris won while the former president stood at 37 percent. Per CNN:
The poll’s results reflect opinions of the debate only among those voters who tuned in, and aren’t representative of the views of the full voting public.

WASHINGTON - Body camera footage released by D.C. police Monday shows the moment officers shot and killed Justin Robinson, a Violence Interrupter for the city, during an incident at a Southeast McDonald’s last week.
The footage was made public following community pressure for its release. While a statement from the Mayor’s Office initially indicated that Robinson’s next of kin did not want it shown, the family reversed their decision over the weekend.
At a vigil held on Friday, some of Robinson’s family members called for the "full release" of all body camera footage from officers on the scene. The incident began when police responded to a call about a car crash
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump finally faced off in what will likely be their only debate, and it went more or less as expected. While this debate probably won’t change the overall trajectory of the race in a major way, it did have its key moments—and not all of them went in Trump’s favor. I predicted Trump needed to perform significantly better than he did against Joe Biden, and frankly, that didn’t happen.
Let’s start with the obvious: Kamala came in prepared, and Trump, as usual, took the bait more than once. Sure, he got in some good lines and managed to score points

Topeka, Kan.

Springfield, Ohio, has been in the news because it’s emerged that some of the 20,000 Haitian immigrants dumped on that small town in the last three years have been dining on people’s pets. That scrutiny reminded people that a Haitian immigrant driving illegally killed an 11-year-old Springfield boy. Now, the boy’s father has lashed out—at Republicans.
On August 22, 2023, Hermanio Joseph, a 35-year-old Haitian immigrant with an Ohio identification card and a Mexican driver’s license that was invalid due to his immigration status, was driving a minivan that crossed into oncoming traffic, striking a school bus. The collision caused the bus to roll over, ejecting 11-year-old Aiden Clark,
Yes, conservatives, on Tuesday night, ABC moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis harassed The Donald, coddled Kamala, and broke their rule by opening her mic to interrupt.
But here’s the deal: Harris was ready and rarin’ with a better-designed strategy to make her case and get under that orange skin. From the opening handshake she initiated, she capitalized on the luck of the draw: not just the network, but also an opponent who stumbled, rambled, and ranted.
Kamala showed up flawlessly turned out – contrasting her CNN appearance – confident … and superbly prepped.
The Federalist obtained audio of a 911 call from a local resident reporting a group of Haitians carrying geese.
More than 20,000 Haitians are now living in Springfield, Ohio and the residents are fed up.
Springfield has a population of about 60,000 people and Haitians now make up 25% of the population.
The City of Springfield held a City Commission meeting last week and angry residents went off on them for doing nothing about the Haitians wreaking havoc on the community and draining resources.
