Vice President Kamala Harris’ senior advisor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, gave a lame excuse for why the Democratic presidential candidate rarely gives interviews or speaks with the press. “She’s too busy” to do media interviews, Bottoms claimed.
CNN’s Jake Tapper grilled the former Atlanta mayor, who wanted to know why Harris isn’t "sitting down for regular interviews or fielding questions from the press” compared to former President Donald Trump, who is in front of the cameras nearly daily.
She has launched her presidential campaign on a platform of taking on corporate wrongdoing and clamping down on billionaires.
But in practice, Kamala Harris is seeking advice from the same big business leaders she claims to be raging against.
The vice president has been attempting to woo captains of industry by inviting them to lunches and personally guided White House tours.
Among those who have had Harris' ear of late is billionaire Mark Cuban, who has been involved in texts, calls and email chains providing his advice on pharmacy issues, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Federal agents seized materials from the home of new NYPD interim commissioner Tom Donlon on Friday, less than two weeks after New York City's previous police commissioner resigned.
Donlon confirmed Saturday night that the FBI searched his Upper East Side home a day earlier. Two sources familiar with the investigation told NBC New York that materials had been seized as part of the search.
News 4 was told that the search appeared to be in relation to Donlon's past work in national security, pre-dating his recent appointment atop the NYPD. One source said federal investigators were looking into whether he improperly stored any classified documents or sensitive materials
It's a heck of a thing, to be in a line of endeavor that may not only place one's self in danger but also one's family. That is, nonetheless, the position former (and, we can hope, future) President Donald Trump finds himself in today. In an interview airing Saturday evening, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade spoke with the former President, who, in the wake of two assassination attempts, is worried about his family.
Fox News host Brian Kilmeade’s brand-new interview with former President Donald Trump will be appearing exclusively on "One Nation," Saturday night. In the interview, Trump candidly responded to whether he worries about the safety of his family:

One of the things that is most challenging for Kamala Harris is how to paint herself as a "change agent," when she's part of the Biden-Harris administration. Most Americans find that the administration has been a failure, and don't want four more years of it. So, what does she do when she is the effective incumbent?
Harris and her running mate Tim Walz are bizarrely trying to paint former President Donald Trump as the incumbent, and themselves as the "new way forward." It's basically trying to turn reality on its head. She can't afford to be clear about their own radical policies;
A very curious image has been making the rounds on social media for a few days now and it’s raising some serious questions about who is really in charge of the country right now.
It’s a picture of one of Joe Biden’s official legislation folders and it includes not only Joe Biden’s signature, but also Jill Biden’s. Why does her signature appear here? No one elected her to anything.
Just this week, people across the country were shocked to see Jill Biden sitting at the head of the table at a Joe Biden cabinet meeting, now this.
Conservative Twitter/X user Comfortably Smug posted the image:
Vice President Kamala Harris has decided to dodge former president Trump and skip this year’s Al Smith Dinner — a major election year event that generations of candidates have attended — becoming the first presidential hopeful to duck out since failed presidential wannabe Walter Mondale in 1984.
While Trump has agreed to go to the 79th iteration of the Archdiocese of New York’s dinner on Oct. 17, Harris’s camp says she will instead campaign in key battleground states on the final stretch before election day, her campaign told The Post.
Democrats are losing their advantage over Republicans regarding requests for mail-in voting in the 2024 presidential election, according to recent data.
A chart created by Eric Daugherty, the assistant news director with Florida’s Voice, showed that in Florida, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, Democrats were experiencing a downward trend in the number of requests for mail-in ballots compared to the same time in 2020.
Daugherty’s chart cited Michael Pruser, a writer with DecisionDeskHQ, and John Couvillon, the founder of JMC Analytics and Polling, as sources.
I had not thought about pagers much (or at all) until the Hezbollah pagers blew up recently. [Snip] Anyway, that whole thing that happened in Lebanon with the pagers and walkie-talkies should be a wake-up call to our readership and listeners that we need a Plan B. Our grid could go down, and our systems could go down, which is why I’m thinking about pagers. However, we still need to rely on the pager company. As for satellite phones, the problem is they’re very expensive. So, my parting shot is that we should not kid ourselves, we are at risk also.
David Sacks at the recent All-In Summit talked about media bias and lying about science during COVID.
"You bring up these stories about Russian influence or whatever. The real influence operation in this country is by the mainstream media. They're the ones who are spreading disinformation about the war in Ukraine and so many other issues on a scale that dwarfs what any of these handful of podcasters that most people have never heard of can ever hope to accomplish," Sacks said.
DAVID SACKS, ALL-IN PODCAST: I agree with you that the mainstream media is not just biased, it's just like all propaganda all the time.
This is no joking matter
Vice President Kamala Harris has decided to dodge former president Trump and skip this year’s Al Smith Dinner — a major election year event that generations of candidates have attended — becoming the first presidential hopeful to duck out since failed presidential wannabe Walter Mondale in 1984.
While Trump has agreed to go to the 79th iteration of the Archdiocese of New York’s dinner on Oct. 17, Harris’s camp says she will instead campaing in key battleground states on the final stretch before election day, her campaign told The Post.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Kamala Harris agreed to CNN’s invitation to a second debate against President Trump on October 23. Her campaign even had the audacity to claim that the American people deserve another opportunity to see the candidates face off before they cast their ballots after rejecting multiple other debate opportunities.
However, it appears that someone forgot to inform Trump of her plans because he has no desire to face Harris again.
During his campaign rally today in Wilmington, North Carolina, Trump revealed that he would reject CNN’s invitation to face off against Harris. He cited multiple factors, including that she’s losing the election, he’s already done two debates,
The Secret Service had multiple failures that led to a sniper nearly taking former President Donald Trump’s life at a campaign rally on July 13, according to a summary of an internal agency review released Friday.
According to a summary of the Secret Service Office of Professional Responsibility’s initial mission assurance report, the Secret Service’s advance team, which first surveyed the rally site, failed to address or mitigate concerns it came across. The summary said the Secret Service and local law enforcement partners saw the Butler Farm Show site as a “challenge,” and that advance personnel and multiple supervisors with oversight of the security plan “recognized line of site concerns.”
Janet Jackson has claimed that Kamala Harris is not black - and that the Democrats' 2024 presidential nominee has a white father.
Jackson, 58, made the shocking assertion in an interview with The Guardian, when asked on her feelings about the United States having its first female black president.
'Well, you know what they supposedly said?' the singer answered. 'She’s not black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.'
'Her father’s white. That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told that they discovered her father was white.'
During an interview with Bloomberg on Friday, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) declared that “you can’t compromise on women’s right to choose. I don’t think that you can compromise on the fact that we’ve got women who are in danger of dying because doctors are afraid of the government coming in and getting between them and their patient.” And opposed a compromise on a ban on abortion after 15 or 16 weeks because “many of these cases are very complicated and often involve parents who really want to have children, but have extraordinary complications. This is an issue that should be left to women and their doctors.”
Tempers flared on CNN when political commentator Scott Jennings correctly pointed out that Democrats are the top source of the troubling wave of anti-Semitism that has erupted in America.
In recent years, the Democratic Party’s “big tent” has expanded to become a haven for Jew haters after it welcomed the progressive firebrands known as “The Squad” and their open hostility to Israel over the war on Hamas in Gaza has inspired campus and other protests that are one step away from becoming pogroms.
With Democrats and their toadies looking to smear Donald J. Trump as being hostile to Jews by distorting his remarks to the Israeli-American Council summit, the sparks flew
A Border Patrol agent became the victim of a frightening assault near Sunland Park, New Mexico, as he attempted to apprehend a migrant for crossing the border alongside several others. The migrant punched and bit the Border Patrol agent as he was being led to a transport vehicle on Thursday.
In the El Paso Sector alone, agents have seen the number of assaults rise from 46 in 2021 to more than 70 this year since October.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) confirmed to Fox News that the agent “was physically assaulted and bitten” by one of the migrants. One suspect was arrested for the assault
MSNBC Host Says Trump Poses ‘Threat’

To ‘Democracy,’ Defends Harris’s
Lack Of Policy Clarity replies
MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle defended Vice President Kamala Harris’ failure to provide detailed answers on policy questions Friday night, citing the “threat” Ruhle claims former President Donald Trump poses to democracy.
In the few interviews Harris has taken since President Joe Biden announced the end of his reelection bid, she has avoided giving detailed answers about policy. Ruhle mocked New York Times columnist Bret Stephens when he said Harris should be questioned on foreign policy during an episode of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.”
With North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson reeling from explosive allegations about his postings on the Nude Africa website, Donald Trump found a cute surrogate to bring onstage for his rally in the state: granddaughter Carolina.
Trump introduced his granddaughter, whose parent are Eric and Lara, at an outdoor rally in the crucial battleground that is her namesake.
‘Her name is Carolina and she’s beautiful and she’s sweet and she doesn’t know how evil life is – she hasn’t experienced it yet,’ Trump said while introducing her. 'Make America Great Again,' she said as Trump lifted her up to a microphone, to cheers from the MAGA faithful.
The Arizona Supreme Court ruled that almost 98,000 people whose citizenship papers have not been confirmed are allowed to vote in state and local races.
The ruling was handed down on Friday, according to the Associated Press (AP). The outlet noted that the decision came “after officials uncovered a database error that, for two decades, mistakenly designated the voters as having access to the full ballot.” The report also said those individuals were already entitled to vote in federal races regardless of the court’s decision. The database error highlighted the problem with those voters’ citizenship statuses, Fox News reported on Friday.
Kamala Harris’s own stupid words continue to be the gift that keeps on giving to Team Trump.
On Wednesday, the Democratic presidential nominee appeared before the Congressional Hispanic Caucus in Washington, DC where she mocked President Trump’s righteous calls for mass deportations of illegal aliens.
“They have pledged to carry out the largest deportation, a mass deportation, in American history. Imagine what that would look like and what that would be,” Harris exclaimed.“How’s that going to happen? Massive raids, massive detention camps?” she added.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s decision to revoke a plea deal for 9/11 defendants likely came too late, military law experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The plea deal for alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two alleged accomplices faced prompt backlash from families of victims and lawmakers when it was announced July 31. Days later, Austin revoked the deal in a memo, writing that the responsibility should rest with him in light of the “significance of the decision.”
Now, a judge is weighing whether Austin had the authority to reverse the deal, the New York Times reported.
“He’s reaching in too late in the game,
The Trump campaign has sought to tie Kamala Harris to the border crisis, three years of inflation, and the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Her own campaign has tried to link her to controlling drug prices and economic growth.
Both efforts seem to be working, according to a J.L. Partners/DailyMail.com which found high proportions of voters blamed her or credited her for a slew of policies implemented during her time as Joe Biden's vice president. The video player is currently playing an ad.
In particular, 60 percent of likely voters said was very or somewhat responsible for the record number of crossings at the southern border.
A planned strike by thousands of unionized dockworkers along the East and Gulf Coasts could reportedly upend the economy.
At issue is the International Longshoremen’s Union, which is demanding “significantly higher wages and a total ban on the automation of cranes, gates and container movements that are used in the loading or loading of freight at 36 U.S. ports,” according to CBS News.
The latter requirement is designed to prevent their jobs from being outsourced to machines.
If an agreement isn’t reached by Oct. 1st, the union intends to strike.
“If a strike were resolved within a few weeks, consumers probably wouldn’t notice any major shortages of retail goods,” CBS News notes.
