debate with Harris: 'Maybe if I got in
the right mood' replies
Former President Trump appears to be leaving the door open for a potential second debate with Vice President Kamala Harris after declaring another one-on-one with his Democratic rival was off the table.
Following Friday's press conference in California, Fox News' Aishah Hasnie pressed Trump on what it would take for him to agree to another debate.
"I wouldn't need anything. I could do it tomorrow," Trump responded. "I've done two debates. Everything was crooked in the second one."
"I did great in the debates, and I think they've answered everything. But maybe if I got in the right mood, I don't know,
After nearly two months of procrastination, Kamala Harris finally did her first solo interview since shoving Joe Biden out of the presidential race. On Friday, the vice president sat down with a local ABC News affiliate in Philadelphia to answer questions for a whole 10 minutes.
Funny enough, the reporter who conducted the interview has a history of being called in when Democrat presidential nominees need a boost. Sure enough, the questioning wasn't exactly tough, and Harris was instead asked a variety of softballs. The problem? She couldn't answer them://snip//You know, I grew up in a neighborhood of people who were really proud of their lawn
Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance is irked that a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Biden-Harris border crisis and its impact on American families on Tuesday was largely ignored by the mainstream media. Many major news outlets ignored testimony from victims of crimes stemming from illegal immigration, including the mother of Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl found strangled to death in Texas in June by two Venezuelan illegal immigrants, according to authorities.
"Kamala Harris' open border policies have taken countless American lives. The liberal media is doing all they can to cover it up, even ignoring the heartbreaking testimony
Vice President Kamala Harris, during her second interview on Friday since joining the race, undermined her record in the Biden-Harris administration by stating the administration’s policies are not fit for the “twenty-first century.”
Harris faces a conundrum: She cannot campaign on policies to fix crime, inflation, and border security without undermining the Biden-Harris administration’s policies, but she must tout the administration’s policies to validate her record and candidacy.
Speaking with Brian Taff of Philadelphia’s Action News 6 ABC, as the Harris campaign promised she would Thursday after she was slammed for failing to answer questions during Tuesday’s debate, Harris suggested she has a fresh “approach” with “new ideas” for the “current moment.”
For more than two centuries, it’s a town that has stayed out of the spotlight as its largely law-abiding folk quietly carried on with their lives.
It's so unassuming, even its name was taken from another city.
But now Springfield, Ohio, has suddenly found itself under worldwide scrutiny over its burgeoning Haitian population – and you can taste the tension on the streets.The latest inflammatory and unproven accusations that some new immigrants are eating household pets have only served to increase the rancor of many locals who cannot accept the new arrivals.
Meanwhile, some of the 15,000 or so Haitians who have made the city their home
The DOJ’s survey from the Bureau of Justice statistics is self-reported instances of violent crime over the last six months — meaning that it includes crimes that may not have been reported to police.
The annual National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) showed total instances of reported violent crime — including rape, robbery and aggravated assault — is up from 5.6 per 1,000 in 2020 to 8.7 per 1,000 in 2023.
The highest recent rate of violent crime was in 2022, when the survey tracked 9.8 instances per 1,000 people over the age of 12.
The rate of rape increased from 1.2 per 1,000 in 2020 to 1.7 in 2023, while robbery went from
Remember during the 2020 elections, when several blue states (including the commonwealth of Pennsylvania) rewrote on the fly the laws about how, when, and where mail-in ballots (AKA vote by mail) would be counted? It led to many voters becoming jaded and distrustful of a system that had been considered one of the most honest and free to hold elections in the world.Courts ended up striking down those revised laws, and now we have news of a massive win for election integrity on mail-in ballots by the state Supreme Court in one of those states--the Keystone state of Pennsylvania: (X)
Amid all the "vibes" and proclamations of joy, Kamala Harris' campaign isn't going quite as well as her handlers and the press would have you believe. A new report from CNN is shedding light on where the race stands and casting doubt on Harris' outward show of confidence.
Jen O'Malley Dillion, who is Harris' campaign chair, shared internals at a leadership retreat. They paint a picture of uncertainty, with the vice president not having "any one sure path to 270 electoral votes." At a leadership retreat for top aides in Wilmington last week, Jen O’Malley Dillon – the campaign chair hired by Joe Biden and retained by Kamala Harris
We've seen media going completely over the line when it comes to bias in the aid of Kamala Harris and the Democratic narrative.
We saw the bias of the ABC moderators during the debate. We've seen the media constantly twisting the statements of former President Donald Trump and Senator JD Vance. There was, for example, the AP's horrible twist on what JD Vance said about a school shooting, claiming he said it was a "fact of life," but leaving out that he said it was a bad thing that it was a fact of life. Some of the media doesn't seem to even care anymore how overboard
President Joe Biden's term will come to an end in a few months, though they still trot him out to speak on occasion. On Friday, Biden spoke to give remarks to discuss "Black Excellence."
At one point, he managed to stumble out that "in just three and a half years we created over 2 million new black jobs for black--black Americans." Such a line was not only noteworthy as he appeared to struggle with his words, but because he used a term he's decried. (X Video) While giving remarks to the NAACP in July, Biden criticized former and potentially future President Donald Trump's use of the term "black jobs."
Too often, lying and politics go hand in hand. But lying to cover up responsibility for the deaths of 13 brave Americans in Afghanistan is reprehensible and dishonors their memory.
Kamala Harris is rewriting history and gaslighting the American public to shift blame from her administration’s failed policy in Afghanistan that created death and chaos and turned that country — and billions of dollars of US military assets — over to the Taliban.
Their failure in Afghanistan led to the destruction of American credibility in the world — and led directly to Iran attacking our ally Israel and Russia invading our ally Ukraine in Europe.
“Come on.”
That was Vice President Harris’ response to Donald Trump in the presidential debate when he pressed her for any gestational limit on abortion.
Would she, he asked, “allow abortion in the eighth month, ninth month, seventh month?”
“Come on,” and a smirk. That’s all she had. That’s because that is, in fact, all she and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz, have when actually forced to come up with any limits on abortion they would support.
They oppose any and all protections for unborn babies and their mothers, including minors, and apparently, babies born alive from botched abortions.
Vice President Kamala Harris is being lauded for her debate performance against former President Donald Trump on Tuesday night, in sharp contrast with President Joe Biden back in June.
The question now becomes whether Harris’s well-executed plan of irritating Trump and joining with the moderators and Trump himself to draw attention to his negatives was what the voters she most needs really wanted.
Trump pollsters Tony Fabrizio and Travis Tunis say that, according to their data from the top seven battleground states, the answer is no. “We found that despite the best efforts of Kamala Harris and [the] media to portray the debate as
A new statue designed to commemorate Elizabeth II - the UK's longest-serving monarch - has received a mixed reception.
The bronze sculpture, created by north Belfast artist Anto Brennan, was unveiled in Antrim Castle Gardens on Friday.
Since then, the statue of the late queen, Prince Philip and two corgis has attracted some criticism on social media and commentary from visitors to the County Antrim gardens.
Yesterday, we brought you the crazy (but true!) story of Joe Biden donning a red Trump2024 hat.
Absolutely incredible.

but tells Americans to vote for 'lesser
of two evils' replies
Pope Francis on Friday slammed both major U.S. presidential candidates as "against life," because of Vice President Kamala Harris's stance on abortion, and former President Donald Trump's stance on immigration, but told Americans to choose the "lesser of two evils."
The pope, who has weighed in on politics as the head of the Catholic Church more than his recent predecessors, did not indicate which candidate was considered the "lesser of two evils." (snip) The pope previously blasted Trump for his immigration policies in the 2016 presidential election, because of his desire to build a border wall. Francis claimed that anyone who did so was "not a Christian."
Details have emerged of the first batch of stores that Big Lots is closing for good.
The 292 locations, dotted all over the country, are offering as much as 50 percent off bargains - prompting a rush of shoppers looking for deals.
The Columbus, Ohio-based chain on Monday filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after years of making big losses. In total, it plans to close a third of its 1,392 locations to cuts costs as it woos a new owner. Retail experts say Big Lots main problem is that it markets itself as a place for bargains, but it is often more expensive than the likes of Walmart and Target.
On Thursday, as we covered at the time, Attorney General Merrick Garland made some rather tone deaf remarks claiming that the Department of Justice's (DOJ) "norms" are "a promise that we will not allow this department to be used as a political weapon." Garland was promptly called out for such remarks, by the Trump-Vance campaign, as well as former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, once a Democrat, now an Independent who is on the Trump transition team. Gabbard also addressed how her criticism is personal.

Per Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), a whistleblower claims that the lead Secret Service agent on the day that former President Donald Trump was shot in the head had been promoted even after she failed at least one key training exam.
Despite this exam failure, former and disgraced Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle promoted the agent. The whistleblower says the agent in question is from the Pittsburgh office and was the advance agent that fateful day. Hawley appeared on Fox News with Jesse Watters on Thursday.

A small Pennsylvania town is up in arms over a proposal to turn an abandoned Civil War-era school into a shelter for hundreds of migrant families — with residents and lawmakers vowing to put a stop to the “foreign invasion.” News of the plan to turn the former Scotland School for Veterans Children building in Franklin County into a migrant shelter surfaced publicly this week after the owners of the sprawling property recently started making inquiries about its potential usage, local officials said. The Greene Township Board of Supervisors said a representative from USA Up Star, an Indiana-based disaster response
The Boar’s Head plant at the center of a deadly listeria outbreak in the U.S. is shutting down.
Certain meat and poultry products produced at the plant in Jarratt, Virginia, and distributed to several states have been linked to nine deaths and 57 hospitalizations, as of the Centers for Disease Control’s latest update.
In addition to shuttering its doors, Boar's Head will also permanently discontinue production of liverwurst, which was the product at the center of the company's initial recall in July.
In the aftermath of the debate on Tuesday, the media promptly declared Kamala Harris the winner. Perhaps stylistically, she had an edge, but when it came to resonating with undecided and independent voters, multiple focus groups showed that Trump was the candidate who managed to succeed on that front. A new Insider Poll out of Michigan reinforces Trump’s momentum, showing him ahead 49 percent to Harris’s 48 percent. (X) This is significant because Michigan and Wisconsin are considered some of Kamala Harris’s strongest chances among the swing states, yet the race remains razor thin. Pennsylvania is widely considered the tipping-point state that will determine the outcome.
Two Springfield schools were evacuated on Friday after the Ohio town was besieged with threats over the Haitian migrant debacle.
Students from Perrin Woods Elementary School and Snowhill Elementary School were forced out of the building on Friday morning and moved to an 'alternate district location,' according to the Springfield City School District.
Students are now being released back into the care of their parents, The Columbus Dispatch reported.The schools were evacuated after police received some information. What information police received that caused such alarm is currently unknown, however, Springfield mayor, Rob Rue, told The Springfield News-Sun that complaints over the Haitian migrants were part of the threat.
ABC News is denying the extraordinary allegations there was collusion between the presidential debate moderators and Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign.
'Absolutely not,' an ABC News spokesperson told the Daily Beast. 'Harris was not given any questions before the debate.'
Former President Donald Trump and his MAGA allies have stoked conspiracy theories that Harris had a leg up in the debate. Most polling showed that Americans believed Harris had the more commanding performance onstage Tuesday night in Philadelphia.
Richmond Times Dispatch political columnist Jeff Schapiro might be regretting his post on X in which he attempts to zing Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, but instead insults the USA women's golf team.

And, let's face it, most of the modern media's wheelhouse.
Here's what went down. On Thursday, Gov. Youngkin made an appearance with the USA women's golf team at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, VA. The team was in town to play in the prestigious Solheim Cup,
Vice President Kamala Harris is not keeping up with the polling numbers of the previous two Democratic presidential nominees at this point in the race as she remains in a neck-and-neck race with former President Donald Trump.
In top battleground states, Trump is performing more than 3 points better against Harris than he was against President Joe Biden in 2020 at this point in the campaign, according to the RealClearPolitics average. Polling for Trump is nearly 2 points better for him against Harris than it was for him against Hillary Clinton at this point in 2016.
Nevada Republican Senate candidate Sam Brown’s campaign is out with two advertisements, first shared with Breitbart News ahead of their release, detailing his economic plan to address the hardships of the Biden-Harris economy.
The ads come out as former President Donald Trump will hold a rally in Nevada Friday at 7:00 p.m. PT. The first advertisement, “Sam’s Plan,” features a restaurant owner, a dog groomer, and a U.S. Marine Corps veteran talking about the struggles of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s economy.
Eric Holder was supposed to be in charge of vetting Kamala Harris' VP running mate choices.
I don't know what they did to vet people; I know they didn't have a lot of time. But they surely messed up when it comes to Tim Walz. There seems to be a never-ending bounty of damaging stories about Walz, including stolen valor, which rightly sets people on edge.
Harris probably should have picked Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro because he was more moderate and would probably have helped the campaign in Pennsylvania. Not doing so earned them accusations of antisemitism and toadying to the radical left.
BEIJING — Starting next year, China will raise its retirement age for workers, which is now among the youngest in the world's major economies, in an effort to address its shrinking population and aging work force.
The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the country's legislature, passed the new policy Friday after a sudden announcement earlier in the week that it was reviewing the measure, state broadcaster CCTV announced. The policy change will be carried out over 15 years, with the retirement age for men raised to 63 years, and for women to 55 or 58 years depending on their jobs.
The union representing the nation’s postal workers, who will handle millions of ballots as part of the mass vote-by-mail system, endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president on Thursday.

ABC News anchor Linsey Davis revealed in a post-debate Los Angeles Times puff-piece profile how she, ABC World News Tonight anchor David Muir and ABC producers schemed to ambush President Trump with ‘fact checks’ at Tuesday night’s presidential debate in Philadelphia with Kamala Harris after watching Trump crush and knock Joe Biden out of the race in their June debate.

The fact checking at the debate was one-sided, with Trump being interrupted by Muir and Davis several times with ‘fact checks’ while Harris was not ‘fact checked’ once.
What do the climate activists really want? Do they have nothing more in mind than a noble crusade to prevent the burning sky from falling on us? Or is the global warming scare just another piece of the revolution? It’s of course the latter. We know this because they’re constantly telling us it is.
The most recent admission comes from Los Angeles Times environmental reporter Rosanna Xia, whose exhausting essay under the headline “To fix climate anxiety (and also climate change), we first have to fix individualism” was posted on Wednesday – yes, Sept. 11.

The Debate at the Kitchen Table
replies
ABC staged a debate this week. A presidential debate. Ostensibly between former president Donald J. Trump and former senator Kamala Harris, but in actuality between Trump and the partnership of Harris and ABC.
There is always media bias. To some extent, unconscious media bias is unavoidable. But we don’t expect it to be blatant; the viewer doesn’t expect antics like we saw this week, when the ABC moderators repeatedly declared Mr. Trump’s statements lies, and never called out Ms. Harris’s blatant lies.
We call it “fact-checking” today, a term coined in social media for when our high-tech overlords punish a writer for stating something with which .
Singer John Legend waded into the boiling migrant crisis unfolding in his hometown of Springfield, Ohio, by telling the town's residents to 'embrace' the 20,000 Haitian migrants whose arrival has sparked a political firestorm.

'New language, new culture, new dietary preferences. All kinds of reasons why they might be growing pains'.
If you judge Kamala Harris by the one big decision she made so far in her campaign — picking Tim Walz as a running mate — she doesn't fare very well. Walz has largely been a mess, bringing with him a stolen valor scandal and all sorts of prevarications about his life.[Snip] But he put his foot in it big time when he started to tell a story that he said he loved about Kamala Harris.(Video) "As a young prostituter, Kamala Harris talked about going into that courtroom for the first time,"[Snip]… he seemed to swallow hard after that and try to move on, but there was no taking it back.
I asked yesterday morning whether Kamala Harris’ camp got the ABC News debate questions in advance. The vice president was visibly nervous for the first portion of the debate but got into a groove, especially when she figured out that Donald Trump would take the bait she was chumming. When Trump took it hook, line, and sinker on the rally size dig, you knew he was going to be kicked off message when he had a wide berth to rip into Harris on inflation, immigration, and overall making us poorer than we were four years ago.

New Poll Finds Donald Trump Leading Kamala

Harris Among Working Class Voters by Double Digits replies
Donald Trump has a significant lead over Kamala Harris with working class voters, according to new polling.
That’s not even the worst news for Harris. Unfortunately for her, she is in the same position on this that Joe Biden was in before he was forced out of the race by his own party.
The results of this poll are very easy to believe. Working class people have been hit harder than almost any other group by policies enacted by the Biden/Harris administration. It makes perfect sense that these voters would want a massive change in direction.
One of the things that was obvious during the debate was that Kamala came in with a lot of memorized material. Those who like her were impressed by how well-prepared she was. Those who don’t like her noted that she had to memorize everything because she is incapable of answering substantive questions on the fly—and that her memorized answers were platitudes, canned phrases, and blatant lies. What didn’t occur to those of us who dislike Kamala was that the memorized lines invariably went right to the heart of the questions. Weird, huh?
Anyone who watched the presidential debate hosted by ABC News on Tuesday knows that the moderators were biased and repeatedly fact-checked Trump while letting Kamala Harris's lies go unchallenged. We kind of expected that to happen, as the bias and conflicts of interests of the moderators and the network as a whole were well established. However, there are reports now that an ABC News whistleblower is about to come forward with evidence that Kamala was given sample questions before the debate.

The September 10th presidential debate went down as expected. Summed up, it was Sappy and the Blob pile on Grouchy.
The swarmy and evasive Vice President Kamala Harris preened, posed, and proffered empty platitudes. The ABC moderators proved they were predictably and shamelessly biased.
And an irate former President Donald Trump confirmed that he was too touchy and easily triggered.
Harris's instructions were not to explain her agenda. She never defended disowning policies that she had embraced as a lifelong, self-confessed, "woke" "radical."

The majority of likely voters say they blame Vice President Kamala Harris for record levels of illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico over the last three and a half years, a New York Times/Siena College poll reveals.

According to pollster Matt Towery, one reason was a five-point lead with independents.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) declared victory Thursday in the battle of Rafah, having destroyed Hamas’s four battalions there over the course of four months.
It was a battle that Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party nominee for U.S. president, told Israel not to fight, warning of the consequences for civilians there, and even threatening to withhold U.S. weapons.
“I have studied the maps,” Harris said, declaring that it was impossible to attack Rafah without hurting civilians. Israel, believing it would lose the war without taking Rafah, entered anyway.
