Harris Campaign Aide Hesitant to Have
Children Due to Climate Change
Posted By: Dreadnought, 9/14/2024 10:21:24 AM
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.

Man in custody after Trump golf club incident

The man in custody in connection with what is being described as a second attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump was vocal about U.S. support for Ukraine and has a long criminal and civil court history, including a conviction for possessing a machine gun.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was taken into custody after shots were fired at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, three senior law enforcement sources said. In 2002, court records show, he was convicted of possessing a weapon of mass destruction — the machine gun.
There are several great issues on which the presidential election (and Congressional elections, too) should turn.
One is our out of control national debt, which promises to first hamstring our government, then bankrupt us. But no one is talking about it.
Another is America’s deteriorating military readiness. The Europeans are scrambling to defend themselves against possible Russian attack; that in itself is a good thing. But they are doing it in large part because they believe that we no longer have the level of readiness needed to come to their aid. Trump hints at this issue occasionally, but that is about it.
The attempted assassination of Donald Trump on Sunday afternoon in Florida, just nine weeks after a previous attempt in Butler, Pa., has reignited concerns about the violent and hateful rhetoric coming from the political left.
Mere days before Trump was shot in Butler, Joe Biden declared, “It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.” Of course, that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the violent rhetoric from the left.
For years, Biden and the Democratic Party have relentlessly compared Trump to Hitler, branding him a threat to democracy and a would-be dictator. Such rhetoric has continued to this day. Kamala Harris has been using incendiary
As we exposed earlier, the Regime Media have wasted no time in blaming former President Donald Trump’s “rhetoric” for the second assassination attempt against him. The evening newscasts have now picked up MSNBC’s lead, tying the attempted shooting to the “dogs and cats rhetoric coming out of Springfield, Ohio. Watch as Linsey Davis, in her return to the Whirled News Tonight anchor chair since her horrendous moderation of the ABC presidential debate, ties the aborted assassination attempt to Springfield in her opening rundown: embed linsey LINSEY DAVIS: Tonight, breaking news as we come on the air. Shots fired at Donald Trump's golf club
David Frum, a prominent “Never Trump” pundit and former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, claimed that former President Donald Trump and his running mate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) “want to present themselves as near-victims of violence” following the second assassination attempt against Trump that transpired on Sunday.
“Trump and his running mate have spent the past week successfully inciting violence in Springfield, Ohio. Today they want to present themselves as near-victims of violence — in this case, of violence completely unrelated to themselves and at a very safe distance from themselves,” Frum wrote in a Sunday X post.
Sunday, following a reported second assassination attempt on Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) placed the blame on the left for an increase in vitriolic rhetoric.
According to the Tennessee Republican, Democrats were inciting those who he described as “on the edge,” and they knew “exactly what they were doing.”
“[C]learly, we have got to be careful because the power of suggestion is what we’re seeing right now,” he said. “The left has just ramped up their vitriol. You’ve seen the tweets that y’all are saying something about ‘they need to learn how to aim better’ and things like that. Those are the types of things that incite
Reverend Dr. Jacqui Lewis said on MSNBC’s broadcast of “The Saturday Show” that former President Donald Trump is “exactly like” Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
Host Jonathan Capehart said, “Give me your response to what Donald Trump is doing?”
Lewis said, “It’s outrageous but expected by an authoritarian who wants to take us to Nazi Germany. We exploited racism, fascism to Nazi Germany. We know how to do it.”
She continued, “Let’s not pretend that Donald Trump isn’t exactly like Mussolini, exactly like Hitler, he is that guy. I want to say something to the American people. I live in a neighborhood, Jonathan.
Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that MAGA is a domestic threat that former President Donald Trump is stoking them.
Crockett said, “Springfield is going through hell, but they are going through hell because the guy who says he wants to be the commander-in-chief is actually bringing that hell to their footsteps. He decided amplify a lie on a national debate stage and that harming American citizens and that is a problem. When I talk about MAGA, I talk about the fact that when we finally swore in, we swore to defend against those that are coming against us, whether they are domestic or international. Right now,
After the second attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in nine weeks, Republicans reacted to the news.
Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) sounded wistful as he expressed his relief that Trump wasn’t hurt. Congressional leaders weighed in. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and his wife visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago, while Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) called for federal investigations into the assassination attempt: House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), himself the victim of an assassination attempt, called out the Secret Service and other authorities for not doing enough to keep Trump safe:

Fox News has reported that the alleged suspect in the second Trump assassination attempt is Ryan Wesley Routh, as we reported earlier.
He allegedly aimed a rifle through the fence on the golf course where Trump was. He was about 300-500 yards away. Law enforcement claimed he had an AK-47 with a scope and and a Go-Pro camera at the fence. He also had a bag with ceramic plates. The Secret Service fired at him and he fled in a black SUV. A citizen saw him and took a picture of his license which the citizen gave to police. The suspect was later caught on the highway
The ABC News debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris failed to move the needle in the presidential election, ABC admitted Sunday.
ABC’s own poll of 3,276 adults, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates with fieldwork by Ipsos, showed Harris failed to achieve any benefit beyond her base. “Vote preferences haven’t moved meaningfully,” ABC News reported. “This poll finds the race at 51-46%, Harris-Trump, among all adults; 51-47% among registered voters; and 52-46% among likely voters. Each is within a percentage point of its pre-debate level in ABC/Ipsos polling.” ABC News, particularly debate moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis, have been roundly criticized for bias against Trump.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, has been identified as the man who was arrested in the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. The suspect called Mr. Trump a threat to democracy.
According to authorities, he was spotted by Secret Service agents Sunday in the bushes outside Mr. Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Officials said they found two backpacks, a GoPro camera and an AK-47 style rifle with a scope where Mr. Routh was hiding. He fled in a black SUV but was located and detained after a witness gave police the vehicle tags. According to his LinkedIn account, he is the owner of Camp Box Honolulu,

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.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) took to X on Sunday to decry what he called “extreme MAGA Republicans,” adding, “We must stop them.” Notably, Jeffries made this declaration an hour after former President Donald Trump survived a second assassination attempt on his life.
“Extreme MAGA Republicans are the party of a national abortion ban and Trump’s Project 2025,” Jeffries said in a Sunday X post, adding, “We must stop them.” [Tweet]
The Democrat House Minority Leader expressed these sentiments an hour after President Trump’s campaign announced that he was safe following gunfire transpiring in his vicinity.
“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity,”
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 wife of a former impeachment witness against President Donald Trump in 2019 downplayed the second assassination attempt on Sunday afternoon.
“No ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon,” Rachel Vindman, the wife of Alexander Vindman, posted on X.
You can use this: The post repulsed GOP strategist and Trump campaign adviser Chris LaCivita, who called on the candidate to denounce his wife’s words.
“Her husband …a candidate for VA 7 …should condemn immediately,” LaCivita posted to X, mistaking Alexander Vindman for his brother, Eugene Vindman, who is running for the open seat in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District.
That seat is being left vacant by Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.).
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—
The son of Ryan Wesley Routh, the man named as the suspect in a possible assassination attempt near Donald Trump's Florida golf club on Sunday, has said his father is not a violent person and did not even believe him to own a gun.
Wesley's son, Oran Routh, reached by DailyMail.com shortly after Sunday's shooting, said this was the first he'd heard of the alleged assassination attempt.
'This was the first I heard about it,' the 35-year-old exclusively told DailyMail.com. 'Was my father shot or injured?'

Former President Donald Trump appears to have survived a second assassination attempt. Shots were fired in West Palm Beach, Fla., just outside his golf course, prompting Secret Service agents to take Trump to safety "after agents opened fire on a man who was spotted with what may have been a gun while the former president was on the links, according to law enforcement sources."
"Officials believe the shots fired at Trump International Golf Club were intended for former President Donald Trump, according to sources familiar on the matter," CNN reported. Sean Hannity, who had been invited to golf with Trump on Sunday but didn’t end up participating, has spoken with Trump
Six Department of Education employees used “forged permission slips” to take their own kids and grandchildren to Disney World and on other city-funded trips meant for homeless students, investigators alleged.
The secret perks robbed some of the city’s most disadvantaged kids of a chance to enjoy the Magic Kingdom — a trip that cost $66,000 for 50 or so adults and kids, a staffer said — and other multiple-day trips in 2016 to 2019 to Washington, D.C; New Orleans; Boston; upstate Rocking Horse Ranch Resort; and Frost Valley YMCA campground, according to a newly released report by the Special Commissioner of Investigation for city schools.
John Avlon, formerly of CNN, is running as the Democratic nominee for the U.S. House race in New York's 1st Congressional District. It's a race to watch, though unfortunately Avlon appears to be dismissing the border crisis that has been very real in this country and in New York State especially. He's even claimed that "we don’t have open borders" and that "we never have."Recent footage shows Avlon taking questions at an event, as one woman mentions "her concerns" on "immigration reform." Any attempts of trying to provide a moderate response ring hollow, though, as Avlon dismisses the crisis at the border.
President Joe Biden was Vice President Kamala Harris' opening act when the two appeared at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual gala in Washington Saturday - and the president dropped one of his trademark doozies.
The outgoing president was awarded a lifetime achievement award at the group's Phoenix Awards dinner before ceding the podium over to the Democratic nominee.
And true to his gaffe-prone form, the 81-year-old bungled his introduction in a major way.
I've served as vice president of the first black president and former CBC member. I'm president alongside the first black president, a former CBC member,' Biden said, dropping the 'vice,' a mistake he has made before.
