As Vice President, I have had the privilege of visiting Arlington National Cemetery several times. It is a solemn place; a place where we come together to honor American heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of this nation.

It is not a place for politics.

The statement was disgusting on its face. While claiming to "never politicize" the deaths of American soldiers, she quite literally politicized them by using their families to attack Donald Trump for the grave sin of actually showing up to honor the fallen. That was something Harris herself couldn't be bothered to do, and to this day, she has never spoken to any of the Gold Star families involved. //

As of this writing, eight different families have released video responses criticizing Kamala Harris for both her behavior and her failures while in office.

Kamala is taking what was a solemn remembrance for the families and is now making it a political issue herself. She's doing what she's accusing Trump of doing.

That's just vile and disgusting. She truly has no shame; she's effectively attacking the families. But it's all about trying to wreck the fact that Trump was doing the job that she and Biden were supposed to be doing here. And it's right in line with how badly the Biden-Harris team has treated the families for years. //

President Trump was there at the invitation of families whose loved ones died because of your incompetence.

Why don’t you get off social media and go launch an investigation into their unnecessary deaths?

There is actually a pattern developing here.

Every time the Harris campaign exposes their candidate to the public, the public reacts negatively. It happened after the DNC as well.

You can also see the reduction in Harris's popularity in other places too. The betting website, Polymarket, also saw Trump pull away from Harris after the interview aired.

If a blue state can force Mr. Kennedy to remain on the ballot despite his desire to exit, can a red state force Mr. Biden to remain on the ballot? //

What the Harris supporters have just done is treated RFK Jr. voters like idiots. This will backfire. RFK Jr. supports are angry at the Democrat party, and hate it now more than Trump. They will vote for Trump out of spite, whereas they may have stayed home otherwise.

There are a lot of reasons why Kamala Harris does not deserve to be president, but perhaps the most important one is her unwillingness to level with the American people about Joe Biden's health. She could have done it in a way that showed respect to her boss but that still got the point across and didn't make her look like a complete shill and tool.

But she didn't. And my guess is that because in doing so she would have exposed her own complicity in the sham and troublesome cover-up.

Kamala Harris will always put personal ambition and politics ahead of country. If the American people didn't learn anything else about her from the CNN interview, let's hope they learned that much. //

A side effect of an anti anxiety medication is that it can result in a loss of focus, and continued returning to a point the speaker wants to make. As this happens the speaker uses key remembered phrases to gain time to regain the intended message. Resulting in long winding sentences that have little success in communicating the speaker’s thought.

Anti anxiety drugs are not intended for stress reduction before a speaking engagement. Usually they are used for stress inducing events like flying. Or, if a patient is anxious in large crowds. Not intended for interviews. //

"I have served with President Biden for almost four years now. And I’ll tell ya it’s one of the greatest honors of my career, truly. He cares so deeply about the American people. He is so smart and — and loyal to the American people. And I have spent hours upon hours with him, be it in the Oval Office or the Situation Room. "

But she is not "tethered" to Biden in any way LOL

During the 2019 Democrat primary, Harris was asked whether she would commit to a federal ban on fracking.

“There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking,” Harris said. “So yes.” //

“In 2020 I made very clear where I stand. We are in 2024, and I have not changed that position, nor will I going forward. I kept my word, and I will keep my word,” Harris said. “My values have not changed. I believe it is very important that we take seriously what we must do to guard against what is a clear crisis in terms of the climate. And to do that, we can do what we have accomplished thus far.” //

“Well, let’s be clear. My values have not changed. I believe it is very important that we take seriously what we must do to guard against what is a clear crisis in terms of the climate. And to do that, we can do what we have accomplished thus far,” Harris said.

DANA BASH: You said you supported banning fracking. Did it change?

KAMALA HARRIS: In 2020, I made clear where I stand. We are in 2024. I kept my word.

DANA BASH: Why did you change your position?

KAMALA HARRIS: Let's be clear. My values have not changed.

What we’ve already done –creating over 300,000 new clean energy jobs – that tells me from my experience as Vice President, we can do it without banning fracking.

And therein lies the tell: "My values have not changed." Harris repeated that line TWICE during the interview. What it shows is that she will spout whatever is necessary to pacify the Pennsylvanian and American voters, and after she is securely installed as president, she'll adhere to those values she's been committed to for decades, and that's to double down on the climate change agenda. //

Her positions have changed 180 degrees since she ran in 2020 but Kamala Harris’ values have not changed between 2020 and 2024. What does that mean exactly? What are those values she talks anout? Obviously, the only values on display here is that she will lie and say anthing necessary to get elected. Deception and prevarication are her values.

“Just an FYI – Kamala Harris’s campaign reached out. They’d like to pay us about $1,000 for access to the email list,” Alcorn wrote in a December 30 email to Hunter and Hallie Biden, Beau’s widow.

The money would go to the [Beau Biden] campaign, then be transferred to the foundation,” explained Alcorn, who ran the Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children from January 2016 to June 2021, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Now, here's the onion:

Three former members of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) told The Post that donor list swaps are common and legal among campaigns, as long as each pays fair market rate.

But funneling the Harris payment to the foundation in exchange for the donor list — after the Biden family made clear months earlier that Beau’s campaign funds would be donated to the foundation — would have been a different matter.

“Charitable organizations are not supposed to be involved in transactions with partisan campaign committees,” said Michael Toner, who served as FEC chairman in 2006 and as a commissioner between 2002 and 2007.

The first layer to peel off here is the status of the Beau Biden "campaign." The money paid — and sure, a grand isn't all that much in the grand scheme of things, but the amount doesn't matter, the law does — the money appears to have been funneled through the campaign and into the Beau Biden Foundation, a 501(c)(3) corporation. Non-profits of this kind are not supposed to be involved in partisan politics, and according to Mr. Christenson, the Beau Biden Foundation, on a Form 990 filing, had denied “...engag(ing) in direct or indirect political campaign activities on behalf of or in opposition to candidates for public office.”

The second layer here is that the Beau Biden Foundation later offered Kamala Harris a seat on their board of directors. That's an unpaid position, but one that carries some influence, and could also run afoul of election finance law.

What's less believable is that this harrowing story of a working-class woman having to pay her way through college by salting fries was only worth mentioning when she began to run for president.

For decades, Harris never mentioned it, not on the campaign trail nor in two books. It’s absent from a job application and résumé she submitted a year after she graduated from college. Third-party biographers did not write about it. Not until Harris ran for president in 2019 and spoke to a labor rally in Las Vegas did she mention the job, telling the crowd that she "was a student when I was working in a McDonald’s."

It would seem odd for Harris to never mention this detail about her life story until she was in her mid-50s. She wrote multiple books, and none of them included her working at McDonald's. The multiple biographers who profiled her apparently never knew about it either. Only when it became politically convenient did Harris start making the claim.

Then there's her post-college resume, which never mentions any job at McDonald's. In the same document, she mentioned fairly irrelevant details about her travel to Africa and India. //

Would you like lies, I mean fries, with that?

The interview may be long-awaited, but it’s not the unscripted conversation the nation deserves from an incumbent.

Both she and Joe Biden seem to think the role of the government is to open up the taxpayers's coffers and use the money in giveaways to buy votes. They don't seem to understand that it's the overspending that helped to kick off the inflation that has been crushing people. So, they keep proposing things that will only make things worse. //

Even if aspiring homeowners save for years, it is often still not enough.

No, Trump is engaged in an optimization battle on abortion, aiming to minimize harm as much as possible. He doesn’t want to fight an absolute battle, where force is used to impose beliefs, even at the point of a gun. Absolutism may feel morally righteous, but because voters won’t resort to extreme measures, Trump loses, and this ultimately leads to more abortions. Under the current administration, pro-life protesters are being jailed for standing outside abortion clinics.

Choosing the path of optimization may tarnish one’s moral purity, but it saves more lives. If Trump wins, he could pardon these protesters, allowing them to continue advocating for life at the very place where it is most threatened. It’s a difficult and imperfect choice.

God gave us free will, allowing us to choose between good and evil. He could have created a world where abortions never happen, but He didn’t. Without God’s omnipotence and in the presence of free will, I believe the only way to stop abortion would be through force. However, since God chose not to use force and instead wants us to navigate these moral challenges ourselves (with the understanding that He will judge us in the afterlife), I cannot justify imposing my will on others by force. I can guide them toward the truth, but I cannot save their souls for them.

Trump’s approach—optimizing to reduce harm—keeps the difficult conversations alive, increasing the chances that more people will choose life. //

It's also lazy. They want a quick Federal solution so they can bypass the ugly work of fighting the good fight.

There is a real Constitutional question here and they don't care, they want a quick authoritarian fix and are too dense to realize the next Democrat White House could just do the opposite if they set the precedent. //

The all or nothing approach is more likely to achieve nothing than to gain all. Incrementalism on the part of courts and Democrats is what evolved Roe vs. Wade from Safe, Rare, and Legal to Anytime, Anywhere, for any Reason, at Taxpayer Expense. Incrementalism on the part of conservatives, as well as increasing the availability of prenatal and early postnatal care to struggling mothers, is a more powerful approach. Since the battle is now at statehouse, our warriors need to fight there. //

yes pro-life people are upset. and yes this is a huge political mistake for Trump/Vance. It’s a big problem and it was an unnecessary error.

Most of the people who are pushing this narrative were never going to vote for Trump. The Holy Spirit will lead the rest.

Dear @LilaGraceRose and @conservmillen
The messaging hasn’t been great- but remember God didn’t clear out the Promised Land for the Israelites instantly- it was little by little- (Ex 23:20) Trump is the best on abortion-please help him win this election and we will keep fighting

Scheduling: Harris told reporters on August 8th she wanted "to get an interview scheduled before the end of the month." There are five days left, and no word on who gets the first sit-down.
1:46 PM · Aug 26, 2024

More than 200 former aides to the three GOP presidential nominees who preceded former President Trump in 2016 — former President George W. Bush, former Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) — endorsed Vice President Harris on Monday.

The majority of the group also endorsed President Biden in 2020. The group wrote a letter announcing the endorsement, USA Today first reported. //

If most of these people were already supporting Biden in 2020, then guess what? While they might identify as Republicans, they're supporting Democrats. It tells you a lot more about them. They're not just being anti-Trump -- they're supporting Biden and Harris. If they can support Biden or the radical ideas of Harris, then they're not conservatives, in my humble opinion. Also, this just confirms that there were a lot of people who weren't conservative working for Romney et al.

Politico was kind enough to offer the extra detail that Kamala’s team is consulting with its closest advisers (Washington reporters) on who should be so lucky as to get the opportunity to ask the vice president questions. That’s not a joke. “Harris campaign staff,” the newsletter said, “have been asking reporters who they think she should talk to.”

This is undoubtedly the most open alignment in history between a national Democrat campaign and the media supposedly vetting that campaign on behalf of voters.

While Donald Trump is dashing to every TV, radio, and podcast studio that will have him — fewer and fewer corporate ones will — Kamala remains cloistered away, huddling with reporters about how to handle … reporters.

A new report is shedding some light on why Walz has been so confined, and it's both telling and hilarious.

What about Tim? One of the issues that Harris world is currently working to address is how to deploy running mate TIM WALZ in the media. The danger in sending him out to do big solo interviews is that he might not have a full command of where Harris is on every issue. As someone pointed out to us last night, Harris talks about the “opportunity economy,” but if Walz were asked to define it, would he know how?

Think about that. Kamala Harris' policy positions are so nebulous and undefined that her own running mate doesn't have a grasp of where she stands. This is a presidential ticket that has been together for a month, and Walz still can't be trusted to do interviews without possibly contradicting her. If this were a Saturday Night Live skit, what would be different?

Here's the thing, though. Kamala Harris also doesn't have a grasp of where she stands. There's a reason her website still doesn't include a policy platform despite the Democratic National Convention having concluded. //

This reminds of something I learned years ago.
Strong leaders want strong subordinates to help fill in when needed. Weak leaders want weak subordinates so they won’t feel threatened. I don’t think there is better illustration of this than Trump/Vance vs. Harris/Walz.

Type A people hire Type A people. Type B people hire Type C people.

But for those not compelled by conscience, please consider the ramifications: If Kamala Harris wins, Democrats will pass a federal law which, at a minimum, makes Roe v. Wade (and not the more limited holding of Casey), the law of the land, preempting the pro-life laws currently in place in some states. Harris will hold the power to appoint federal judges and possibly replace one to three Supreme Court justices — and that’s if Democrats don’t expand and stack the high court. Harris will hold the bully pulpit and will only further dehumanize the unborn, making it more difficult to change the hearts and minds of Americans.

Trump may not govern as a pro-life president, but Harris will most assuredly be the most pro-abortion president ever elected. With Trump in office, the status quo can be maintained until four years from now, a primary battle can demand a candidate willing to fight for the sanctity of life. While society will still not be open to laws that protect all human life, a pro-life candidate can support a federal ban on late-term abortions while working to support pregnancy resource centers and promoting life.

It took us 50 years to get to where we are and it will take decades more to move society toward a place where the populace will agree to ban most abortions. But if Harris is elected, we may never have the chance to start changing hearts, minds, and laws.

So when I saw the story that Axios dropped on Tuesday, I almost choked on my breakfast. "Harris Flip-Flops on Building the Border Wall." It says:

Kamala Harris pledges to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the wall along the southern border — a project she once opposed and called "un-American" during the Trump administration.[....]

In her speech to the Democratic National Convention last week, Harris said she would sign the recent bipartisan border security bill [....]

That bill, negotiated by senators such as James Lankford (R-Okla.) and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), requires hundreds of millions of dollars of unspent funds to be used to continue building a wall on the border.

"It requires the Trump border wall," Lankford told Axios. "It is in the bill itself that it sets the standards that were set during the Trump administration: Here's where it will be built. Here's how it has to be built, the height, the type, everything during the Trump construction." //
