A 2019 video of Kamala Harris vowing to shut down all immigration detention centers on “day one” as president has surfaced.
Then-Senator Kamala Harris promised to free all criminal illegal aliens if elected president during a town hall in Iowa City, Iowa in October 2019.
“I want to know, when you become president, would you be committing to close the immigration detention centers?” an attendee asked Kamala Harris.
“Absolutely, on day one. On day one,” Kamala Harris said.
Former President Donald Trump talked about America’s energy production during an X Spaces interview with Elon Musk on Monday, focusing on how the country can compete with China on artificial intelligence (AI).
During the interview, Trump said that a Kamala Harris administration would enact harsh energy policies by pushing “Green Energy” with windmills and solar panels while hurting oil and fracking production. Later, the former president talked about artificial intelligence, which Elon Musk has been a proponent of, and how the country will not be able to compete with China on the technology if America’s energy production lowers.
Former President Donald Trump held a groundbreaking interview with tech mogul Elon Musk on Monday.
The interview was set to commence at 8 PM ET but faced a mysterious delay due to a massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack that pushed the start time to approximately 8:45 PM ET.
The origins of this cyber disruption remain unclear, but it has only added to the chaos surrounding Harris and Walz’s campaigns. (Snip) In the wake of this monumental event, emails from Harris and Walz’s campaign teams reveal a state of utter panic.
They sent an email with the subject, “The two worst people you know are live this evening.”
Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that Vice President Kamala Harris could possibly win the state of Texas in November.
Host Jen Psaki said, “I want to ask you, you’ve seen a lot of presidential candidates run. Vice President Harris and Tim Walz are clearly creating a lot of excitement out there. Do you think this is enough? Is Texas a pipe dream or should people hold their hope out for Texas in 2024 or is it going to take a little longer?”
O’Rourke said, “The thing is you now see Democrats smiling. There is joy in our party. There’s electricity moving through the system. Yes
As my colleague Bonchie reported, Axios reporter Sara Fischer appeared on CNN to complain about former President and GOP nominee Donald Trump having an unfettered microphone with Elon Musk on X.
The Monday night conversation hails Trump's return to the X (formerly Twitter) platform where he was unceremoniously booted almost four years before, and it has the entire legacy media complex shook. As my colleague streiff also reported, a Washington Post reporter asked the Biden Press Secretary whether this interview could be stopped, because "misinformation," or something...

A California couple found themselves embroiled in a legal battle with the state of Indiana despite never having set foot there after law enforcement seized their property under civil asset forfeiture.
Henry and Minh Cheng, who have been in the wholesale jewelry business for over three decades, are fighting in an Indiana court to get their property back. The ordeal began in early 2024 when they made a bulk sale to a retailer in Virginia, according to a press release from the Institute for Justice.
The customer agreed to pay for the merchandise in cash, which was shipped to the Chengs through FedEx.
The stealing class has figured out that it’s a working-class election.
You can tell by what they pilfer.
By “stealing class,” I mean the Harris-Walz campaign in particular, and the party of big government in general.
They exist, and flourish, not by creating new wealth and ideas, but by stealing the produce of others.
In Harris’ case, that means shamelessly stealing Donald Trump’s “no taxes on tips” proposal and floating it as if it were her idea, something made less plausible by Kamala’s lifelong history of not having original ideas.
But it’s meant to show that she cares about the working class. In Walz’s case, what he stole was valor, posing as
Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., was largely unknown to voters across the country when Vice President Kamala Harris selected him as her running mate, so his record is coming under national scrutiny for the first time. Unfortunately for Walz and the Democrats, his record as governor of Minnesota is every bit as bad as that of the Biden-Harris administration, if not worse.
When the George Floyd riots began in Minneapolis in May 2020, Walz dithered. For four days, while Minneapolis and other cities burned, Walz refused to call out the National Guard. By the time the riots were finally brought under control, the Minneapolis Police Department’s Third Precinct station
Donald Trump is in the midst of a strategy shift as the heart of campaign season approaches. That began with a very unexpected return to social media giant X on Monday morning and will culminate with an interview with Elon Musk.
The former president, having seen the presidential race reset due to Democratic Party elites shoving Joe Biden aside and coronating Kamala Harris, is hoping to retake the initiative. Part of that is going around the insanely biased national press that has been hyperventilating over Harris since she became the presumptive nominee.
Sure, she's one of the worst politicians in history, with a long record of failure,
One Israeli male hostage was killed by his guard and two women captives were seriously wounded in two separate incidents in Gaza, the spokesperson for Hamas' armed al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubaida, said on Monday.
Abu Ubaida blamed the incident on what he described as Israeli "massacres" against Palestinians.
"The enemy government [Israel] bears full responsibility for these massacres and the resulting reactions that affect the lives of Zionist prisoners," Abu Ubaida said in a statement posted on Telegram.
He said a committee has been formed to investigate, and findings will be announced later, adding efforts are underway to save the two wounded hostages.
n a move many thought wasn't contractually possible, Donald Trump has fully returned to X after a years-long hiatus that was only interrupted by a single fundraising post in 2023.
On Monday the former president bombarded the platform with campaign messaging indicating that this isn't a one-off situation. It was a surprising, yet welcome shift in strategy in the face of Joe Biden being forced out of the presidential race, a development that has scrambled the presidential race.
Until this point, it was widely assumed that Trump couldn't post on X due obligations to his social media platform, Truth Social. That appears to not be the case.
On Coney Island, a woman is raped at knifepoint while her boyfriend is beaten with a pipe by a second criminal:
Two migrants were arrested for a knifepoint rape in Coney Island – including one who was released from jail less than two months ago after sexually assaulting a different woman at a city-funded shelter, authorities said Monday.
“Migrant” is the currently approved euphemism for illegal immigrant.
Daniel Davon-Bonilla, 24, of Nicaragua, allegedly grabbed a 46-year-old woman and threw her to the ground before raping her while holding a knife to her throat Sunday around 9 p.m. under the Riegelmann Boardwalk, cops and the sources said.
A report released Monday by USC’s Understanding America Study (UAS) suggests the use of hyperbolic terms to describe global warming has no effect on people’s perceptions of the urgency of climate change.
The study notes that climate crusaders like the UK’s Guardian newspaper have officially opted for expressions like “climate crisis” and “climate emergency” in an attempt to raise concern and convey urgency, yet it would seem that such efforts are in vain.
“Instead of ‘climate change’ the preferred terms are ‘climate emergency, crisis or breakdown’ and ‘global heating’ is favoured over ‘global warming,’ although the original terms are not banned,” the Guardian stated in 2019
Former U.S. President and current Republican nominee for 2024 Donald Trump is having to deal with another crisis today, this time in Virginia.
The campaign announced that its office in Ashburn, Virginia was burglarized, and the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office is investigating the crime.
Deputies said they arrived on the scene at 9 p.m. and a man was caught on camera wearing dark clothing, a dark cap and a backpack. The name and age of the suspect has not been released so far.
“It is rare to have the office of any political campaign or party broken into,” Sheriff Mike Chapman said. “We are determined to identify the suspect, investigate why it happened,
Vice President Kamala Harris demanded a ceasefire amid the ongoing war in the Middle East as pro-Hamas protestors vowed to withhold their vote from the Democratic presidential nominee over her pro-Israel stance.
Harris told a crowd at an Arizona rally on Friday that she and President Joe Biden are “working around the clock every day” to get a ceasefire agreement on the table between Hamas terrorists and Israel.
“So, let me say, I have been clear,” Harris said. “Now is the time to get a ceasefire deal and get the hostage deal done.”
Former and potentially future President Donald Trump returned to X on Monday, and was going to be having a conversation with Elon Musk over the platform that same night. At least, that's what he had planned on doing.
Musk announced from his account that there appears to have been a distributed denial of service attack on the platform, and that they were "[w]orking on shutting it down." He noted in a subsequent post that they "tested the system with 8 million concurrent listeners earlier today."
As for what's next, Musk noted one possibility is for them to "proceed with a smaller number of live listeners and post the conversation later."
It’s mid-August and the headlines are increasingly looming around the Ukraine v Russia conflict. (snip)
The last week or so has highlighted a marked increase in urgency and hostility amid those in the CIA/DoS who control the events in Ukraine. Everything about this insufferable World War Reddit is sketchy, including the ongoing absence of any frontline reporters anywhere in the “battlefield” giving updates on what we are told is intense fighting.
I have never seen a war that did not have a single journalist war correspondent,clad in a helmet and flak jacket, giving updates on what is happening on the ground from a location near the battle zone.
If we had a media that did its job, the fiasco around Tim Walz’s military would be unsurvivable. Every development is a damning indictment of the Minnesota governor, who clearly knew that his unit was going to be deployed months before they were sent to Iraq. He bolted, lied about the circumstances regarding his entry into public life, and has ridden this wave of stolen valor for years. Walz served his country—that’s not in dispute. But he did lie about being in combat zones. He never corrected the record when he could. [Tweets, video]

t's official: Joe Biden's decision to step aside in favor of Kamala Harris really has generated a surge in positive headlines for the Democratic Party's campaign, according to an AI-driven analysis of U.S. media coverage.
The study of 130,231 headlines from 550 news outlets over the past three months bears out Republican griping that Harris has been getting an easy ride in the media.
Although there is a spike for Trump's 'sentiment' rating after he was shot, that was quickly replaced by a surge in positive feelings for Harris.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. isn’t a resident of New York and will not appear on the Empire State’s ballot, a lower court in Albany ruled late Monday.
Justice Christina L. Ryba ordered Kennedy, 70, to not appear on New York’s presidential ballot, a move that will likely lead to efforts to remove him from other states’ ballots as well.
“Kennedy’s designation of the 84 Croton Lake Road address as his ‘place of residence’ was a false statement requiring invalidation of the petition,” Ryba wrote in the decision.
The Democratic-backed lawsuit argued that Kennedy was a resident of California despite listing a Westchester County home where he only stayed once as
Speaking to reporters at the White House Monday afternoon, Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre tied Vice President Kamala Harris directly to President Joe Biden's failed economic record. (X Video) While she's failed to put out a single policy position of her own, Harris has been distancing herself from Biden on the campaign trail -- admitting basic living for American families is too expensive and that she would work as president to bring costs down (conveniently ignoring the vice presidential position she holds now).
For three years Harris has enthusiastically touted Bidenomics at events around the country on behalf of the Biden administration.
A Washington Post ‘reporter’ on Monday asked Karine Jean-Pierre what Biden is going to do to stop Trump’s live X interview with Elon Musk on Monday night.

PALM BEACH, Florida — Former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president in 2024, said presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris’s ongoing efforts to flip-flop her positions on several major issues, such as energy, immigration, crime, health care, and more via press aides rather than explaining things herself, will not work for her long term.
“I don’t think that’s going to fly,” Trump said. “She can’t do a press conference.”Trump’s comments came during an hour-long exclusive interview with Breitbart News here at Mar-a-Lago, his luxurious seaside resort and club, on Thursday evening. Specifically, Harris has in recent weeks had press staffers, oftentimes anonymously, issue statements across the media
A family in Adams County has filed a federal lawsuit against state and local education authorities, claiming their daughter’s high school aided her “social transition” to a male identity without the parent’s knowledge or consent, in violation of their constitutional rights. (snip)
The lawsuit claims that a counselor at School District 27J then allowed for A.D. to take online therapy sessions on the counselor's computer so A.D.’s parents would not be aware of the social transition. (snip) The complaint says that A.D. came to realize that she doesn’t have a transgender identity, is “de-transitioning,” and is now “on the path to a happier and healthier life.”
Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii said “everything changed” since she was placed on a domestic watch list following her criticism of the Biden administration.
Speaking to Fox News's Brian Kilmeade about the ordeal, Gabbard said the hardest part is knowing that she will always need to look over her shoulder, "wondering if and how my government is surveilling me."
Gabbard was added to the "Quiet Skies" watch list a day after speaking critically about the Biden administration during an interview with Fox News's Laura Ingraham.
ACLJ said it is launching a “multipronged legal effort” to defend Gabbard and defeat the weaponization of the federal government against its political foes.
Few candidates have had as successful a campaign launch as Vice President Kamala Harris, raising hundreds of millions, moving up in polls and energizing the base. The Harris campaign notched an additional $36 million in the 24 hours after announcing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, and as the Democratic ticket swung across the country, it drew large, raucous crowds.
After three weeks of unbelievable momentum, Harris now faces the huge — and historically unusual — challenge of sustaining the energy of a fresh campaign for a 90-day sprint into Election Day. She’s growing into her new role as she faces economic uncertainty, a politically volatile

In 2020, Joe Biden ran a stealth campaign in which he avoided engagement with voters and the media, enabled by pandemic restrictions and a sympathetic press. Four years later, Biden successfully used a similar strategy to avoid scrutiny during primaries that the DNC made sure would not be competitive -- until Biden decided to take on Donald Trump in a debate. In a heartbeat, Democrats pushed Biden out of the race and anointed a stealth candidate in his place.
Now Democrats have returned to the stealth model, and not just for the top of the ticket. While many of us have focused on the Silence of the Kams
A magnitude 4.4 earthquake occurred in Los Angeles at 12:20 p.m. PT, according to the US Geological Survey. The quake had an initial reported intensity of 4.7 but has since been revised down to 4.4.
The shallow quake was only 7.5 miles deep and directly under the populated areas of Los Angeles, so was likely felt widely despite the relatively modest intensity. Earthquakes of magnitudes 4 to 5 generally bring light shaking and very light to no damage. Other recent earthquakes in the area include a magnitude 4.9 quake on July 29 near Barstow and a magnitude 5.2 temblor last Tuesday near Bakersfield.
The fact that Tim Walz is an admitted blue falcon stolen valor s*****g is not a gratuitous tangent nor some bespoke, boutique line of attack that we need to move on from ASAP. No, it’s important and we need to keep it up. We need to keep all of it up, all the attacks, even the ones that we are supposed to be better than. Why? Because persuasion isn’t just about policy. This isn’t a forensics club where we compare facts and figures. If it were, we would’ve won long ago. Our enemies are not running a debating society election, and we shouldn’t be either. This is about persuasion.
The European Commission is threatening X owner Elon Musk with possible legal consequences for his plans to air an uncensored interview with former president Donald Trump, and calling for Musk to balance the importance of free expression with the need to suppress “harmful” content.

President Biden was forced, unceremoniously and unwillingly, to abdicate from his impending reelection nomination. Since then, we have neither seen nor heard much from our sitting President. He has vanished, poof, gone. This is quite unusual if not alarming. Unlike prior to the June 27 debate, the left now makes no effort to hide Biden’s debility. Indeed, it accepts the reality that an infirm Biden might not be able to finish out his remaining six months.

I finished Megan Basham's "Shepherds for Sale" over the weekend. Paula is working on getting her for an interview for the podcast, and if that happens, it should be an eye-opening discussion. Basham's book outlines how progressive forces have infiltrated the Evangelical churches of America to undermine the conservative presence in those churches and flip them blue. Basham asserts that this effort is well-funded and occurs across multiple fronts, often aided and abetted by Christian and conservative thought leaders. One of those leaders, according to Basham, is David French. French was once a columnist for National Review before jumping ship for the Left.

The ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus is signaling it will not help Congress avoid a government shutdown next month unless a short-term spending bill is linked to a bill requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. The House GOP rebels are also calling for a short-term spending plan to extend until the new year, at which point allies of former President Trump hope he will be in the White House again.
That puts the group in direct opposition to their more traditional GOP colleagues, including House Appropriations Chairman Tom Cole, R-Okla., who suggested last month that he would want to finish the government funding process by the end of 2024.

PolitiFact, a major "fact checker," has been one of Harris' greatest champions and advocates. They've explained away positions she still holds in hopes normal, moderate voters will take the bait and think she's changed -- that she isn't a controlling government leftist after all.

This year, it is a metaphorical basement since Walz and Harris are barnstorming the country, but the principle is the same. Avoid scrutiny at any cost, lie all the time, mindlessly repeat those lies, and count on the mainstream media to create a fictional movie that reflects reality in no way at all.
As things stand neither Harris nor Walz has taken a single spontaneous question from a serious reporter. Walz is far more fluent than Harris because he is a pathological liar without a conscience, while Harris is quite stupid and incapable of stringing words together on her own. She is a speechwriter's dream because

Joe Biden held his first interview today since being pushed out of the 2024 presidential race.
Biden spoke to CBS’ Robert Costa in an interview taped for Sunday morning and stated that he left the race despite claiming he was in a dead heat with Trump in the polls (he wasn’t). But Democrats were concerned that his struggles would hurt them in down-ballot races.
He also seemingly confirmed one critical part of the coup: Nancy Pelosi pressured him to drop out behind the scenes due to her concerns over him losing and dragging Congress down with him.
