Here’s the fact check that ABC didn’t
give Kamala Harris
Posted By: Mercedes44, 9/12/2024 7:08:37 AM
During Tuesday night’s debate, ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis interrupted Donald Trump five times to “fact-check” his answers. They did the same to Kamala Harris … never. The vice president was allowed to skate through the debate without substantive follow-up questions or pushback on some of her obviously false claims. Kamala claim: “As of today, there is not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world, the first time this century.” Fact check: Our troops in Middle East are absolutely in a combat zone, under attack from Iran,

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi made a fool of the United States — and the Biden-Harris administration rewarded him for his ridicule.
Last Sunday, the National Interest reported that Egypt is ditching US F-16 fighter jets for their Chinese competitor, the J-10C. The US had offered to upgrade Egypt’s aging fleet of F-16s. Sisi said no, and chose China instead.
On the face of things, Egypt’s betrayal makes no sense. A year ago, Egypt was on the brink of insolvency. Its external debt made up 46% of its GDP.

Haitians Eating Pets Story...And It's
Amazing to Watch 12 replies
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, though in this instance, it’s not a statement regarding some appalling examples of liberal media bias. For the Ohio Haitians ‘eating the pets’ story, it’s pure entertainment, maybe a touch of schadenfreude: the liberal media is being tortured in their attempt to neutralize the story. Contrary to the establishment press, this story hasn’t been debunked. There’s no way within 48-72 hours that authorities can verify dogs and cats are not being eaten by the tens of thousands of Haitians in Springfield, Ohio.
Since former President Trump announced JD Vance as his running mate, the Ohio senator has become the bane of the corporate media, routinely appearing on liberal networks to spar with partisan journalists and dismantle the latest fake narratives about the GOP presidential nominee and his agenda. That pattern continued on Tuesday night following the debate between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris on ABC. Just moments after both candidates made closing arguments, one reporter attempted to ensnare Vance in a “gotcha” question about the viral story of Haitian migrants allegedly eating wild geese and even dogs and cats in Springfield, Ohio.
Brothers Phil and Terence Banks — both targets of a federal investigation into close allies of Mayor Eric Adams — have a taste for the finer things and like to hang out at swanky Manhattan nightclubs, The Post has learned.
Phil Banks, the city’s deputy mayor for public safety, frequents Casa Cipriani, a posh, members-only establishment on South Street that charges patrons a cool $3,900 per year in dues — on top of the one-time initiation fee of $2,000, according to sources and the club website.

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 —
Andrew Cuomo is set to be grilled over his administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic — including an infamous mandate that forced infected patients into nursing homes.
The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic is going to to question the ex-New York governor on Sept. 10 about the “unscientific guidance” that led to the deaths of thousands of senior citizens.
The COVID subcommittee has already conducted a closed-door transcribed interview with Cuomo in June, during which the governor came across as “shockingly callous,” Wenstrup added.
President Biden and Senate Democrats are racing to confirm more judicial nominees than former President Donald Trump did while in office.
However, they face a difficult schedule to get it done, with several time-sensitive pieces of legislation due this fall and an entire month out of session in October.
Prior to the August break, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin, D-Ill., announced that seven nominees had been advanced out of committee to be considered for confirmation. It's unclear when these votes will take place once the Senate is back.
Caution: Those with sensitive stomachs or respect for the truth should stop here.”
That’s the warning label The Washington Post should have slapped on a recent essay.
Unfortunately, it didn’t and let the writer gas on as if his fabulist claims were grounded in reality.
The op-ed was doubly dispiriting because, although it appeared in The Washington Post, it was written by the publisher of The New York Times.
Both outlets likely thought the joint imprimatur would increase the audience and impact.
Instead, the resulting flop magnifies their effort to spread misinformation.
Both outlets apparently still think Americans are foolish enough to trust Big Media to tell them the truth.
For some time now the Left has been salivating over the prospect that New York judge Juan Merchan would jail Donald Trump on September 18, before the election. Reports were that a cell in Riker’s was being readied for him and even that he’d be denied Secret Service protection (such as it is) while incarcerated. Not going to happen. The week stated off badly for Manhattan District attorney Alvin Bragg, the prosecutor of that case, when on a hidden camera Nicholas Biase, Bragg’s chief spokesman said, “Honestly, I think the case is nonsense.” (When the video by Steven Crowder’s operative was made public, he claimed he denied he meant it,

Elon Musk is on pace to become the world’s first trillionaire by 2027, according to a new report from a group that tracks wealth.
Informa Connect Academy’s finding about the boss of electric carmaker Tesla, private rocket company SpaceX and social media platform X (formerly Twitter) stems from the fact that Musk’s wealth has been growing at an average annual rate of 110%. He was also the world’s richest person, with $251bn, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, as the academy’s 2024 Trillion Dollar Club report began circulating Friday.

Along with Hollywood "Meathead" Rob Reiner, La La Land's Robert De Niro is undoubtedly one of the most Trump-loathing people on the planet. The venom spewed by these two leftists against the former president is so toxic that the unintended humor is off the charts.
Toss Chris Wallace, former host of "Fox News Sunday," now a CNN simp, into the mix, and it doesn't get any better.
Such was the case on Friday when Wallace trotted onto the set of "CNN News Central" to pimp his latest episode of HBO Max's "Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?" with De Niro. In both shows, Wallace fawned over TDS-riddled De Niro
More than 300 non-citizens in Oregon eligible to apply for driver’s licenses were also mistakenly registered to vote, officials admitted this week in what they chalked up to be a “data entry issue.”
In an initial analysis, the Oregon Department of Transportation found that 306 non-citizens statewide were registered to vote and two have cast ballots in elections since 2021, according to reports.
It is illegal for for a non-citizen to cast a ballot in a federal election. Officials expect to find more instances of the error as they continue to investigate, DMV Administrator Amy Joyce told The Oregonian on Friday.
“It’s basically a data entry issue,” said Kevin Glenn, spokesperson

Linda C., a retired deputy sheriff in California, considers herself politically independent.
She voted for former President Donald Trump in 2016 and then for President Joe Biden in 2020. But this year, she feels strongly about supporting the Democratic ticket, largely because of the stances Republicans, including Trump's running mate, Sen. JD Vance, have taken on childcare.
She was particularly perturbed by Vance's recent suggestion that grandparents and other family members "help out a little bit more" with childrearing to relieve the burden of childcare costs.
Left-wing porn star Stormy Daniels says she’s afraid that former President Donald Trump will have her tried for treason if he wins the 2024 election.[Snip] Daniels, who told Rolling Stone she’s currently “living in an RV,” still has to pay Trump’s legal fees related to a separate defamation case. In the meantime, she has been on tour doing a stand-up comedy routine and lambasting the former president. She noted to the magazine that she feels she has lost more than she has gained.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., slammed the Electoral College as an "obsolete" system from the 18th century that is deadly for Americans.Raskin spoke with The Free Speech project at the Riggs Library in Washington D.C. on Friday. The congressman expounded on a variety of topics, particularly his efforts to discredit and ultimately circumvent the Electoral College in the name of protecting American democracy. "We passed the nation’s first National Popular Vote Interstate Compact," he said, touting his work. "We initiated that, we’re now more than two thirds of the way there, because it’s 2024.
The potato has returned. Brian Stelter is back on the air at CNN and it’s almost like he never left.
During a recent segment on Kamala Harris, Stelter suggested that the image of Harris as the young ‘hope and change’ candidate is more important than anything she actually says about what she would do as president.
He also cheered for the image of Harris speaking at rallies. Has anyone told Brian that the campaign has to bus people in for these events?
Breitbart News reports:
The viral picture of a man holding two geese on an Ohio street being used to fuel claims that migrants have been gobbling up pets was nothing more than a wild goose chase, according to a report.
The anonymous man who was snapped carrying the bodies of two birds earlier this week was removing them from the street after they were hit by a car, the Ohio Division of Wildlife confirmed to TMZ.
There is no evidence he was taking them home to eat or that he is a migrant, the agency said.
A Harris campaign aide who focuses on climate change once promoted the anti-natalist view that the potential for widespread environmental destruction is a reason not to have children.
Camila Thorndike, the climate engagement director for Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign, told the Washington Post in 2022 that fears of climate change have factored into her hesitation to have children.
“It’s coming partly from a place of love for my hypothetical child,” she said.
Vice President Kamala Harris was criticized Friday for a lengthy response about her "middle-class" upbringing that spoke about people's pride in their lawns but did little to address a question about her economic policies.
In her first solo sit-down TV interview since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, Harris was asked by Philadelphia's 6 ABC anchor Brian Taff about what "specific" plans she has to bring down prices for Americans.
"Well, I'll start with this. I grew up a middle-class kid," Harris responded. "My mother raised my sister and me. She worked very hard. She was able to finally save up enough money to buy our first house when I was a teenager.
Northwestern University, a prestigious college in Illinois, recently adopted a policy that would punish students for making fat jokes.
The university included weight and height on its list of “protected characteristics” in its 2024 discrimination, harassment and sexual misconduct policy, placing the traits alongside attributes like race and gender. Making jokes about these protected characteristics runs afoul of the policy and can result in sanctions for students, staff or faculty, according to the university.
In yet another clear sign that the swamp is alive and well in Washington, more than 30 House members—including a disgraceful six Republicans—have joined hands with Democrats to sign a so-called “bipartisan” pledge that seeks to undermine the true voice of the American people before the 2024 election even takes place.
The pledge, deceptively named the “Unity Commitment,” pretends to “safeguard” the election, but in reality, it’s nothing more than an effort to rubber-stamp the will of establishment elites and globalist politicians.
Leading this charge are Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) and Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), who are rallying members of Congress to commit to upholding whatever result comes from the 2024 election—
Three American citizens have been sentenced to death in Congo after being convicted on charges of participating in a coup attempt, with one telling a court that his father — who led the failed effort — "had threatened to kill us if we did not follow his orders." A lawyer representing 21-year-olds Marcel Malanga and Tyler Thompson Jr. and 36-year-old Benjamin Reuben Zalman-Polun, is now planning to appeal the verdict following the botched attack orchestrated by Malanga’s father, Christian Malanga, in May that targeted the presidential palace and a close ally of President Felix Tshisekedi
