POTTERVILLE, Mich. — Former President Donald Trump said in an interview with NBC News on Thursday that if he is elected, his administration would not only protect access to in-vitro fertilization but would also have either the government or insurance companies cover the cost of the expensive service for American women who need it.
"We are going to be, under the Trump administration, we are going to be paying for that treatment," Trump said before adding, "We're going to be mandating that the insurance company pay." Asked to clarify whether the government would pay for IVF services or whether insurance companies would do so, Trump reiterated that one option
Claim: Vice President Kamala Harris said that she and President Biden have created 800,000 manufacturing jobs.
“We created over 800,000 new manufacturing jobs. I’ll say that that’s good work,” Harris said in her interview with CNN on Thursday.
Verdict: Harris’s statement is misleading.
U.S. manufacturers increased their payrolls by around 742,000 workers between January 2021 when Biden took office and October 2022 but most of those were not “new” manufacturing jobs as Harris claimed. They were factories re-filling jobs that had been created under President Trump.
What’s more, only 20,000 jobs have been added since October 2022,
Former president Donald Trump on Thursday said he opposes the six-week abortion ban that went into effect in Florida following the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization Supreme Court decision when asked whether he will vote for a ballot measure codifying abortion rights in the state’s constitution this fall.
“I think the six-week is too short,” he said. “There has to be more time, and I’ve told them that I want more weeks.”
After a follow-up question, Trump said he will “be voting that we need more than six weeks.”

Vice President Kamala Harris addressed several high-profile flip-flops Thursday night in her first sit-down interview since ascending to the top of the Democratic ticket — but failed to explain exactly why she’s backed away from the progressive positions she staked out during her primary run four years ago.
CNN’s Dana Bash first asked Harris about fracking, which the vice president came out in favor of banning during her ill-fated 2020 presidential primary campaign.
“You know, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban fracking as president
Did you catch Kamala Harris's first "interview" as the Democratic Party nominee for president? It was pretty much everything you'd expect from an interview conducted by CNN. Lots of softball questions, lots of word salad responses. CNN anchor Dana Bash actually asked some decent questions, but what really struck me about the interview was that Kamala Harris, more often than not, avoided answering most of the questions, and Bash didn't seem to be concerned with getting an actual answer.
You knew things were going to be bad when Harris really struggled to give a coherent answer to the cliché question about what she would do on "on day one."
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis dismissed anger over Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua taking over apartment buildings in the Denver suburb of Aurora, calling it “imagination” — despite video footage, police reports and the city’s mayor confirming it’s happening.

When I fled civil unrest and violence in Mexico City for the United States as a young girl, I had no idea that I would eventually become sucked into another violent regime: the U.S. abortion industry. Unfortunately, the 17 years I spent working as an employee of Planned Parenthood opened my eyes to unspeakable horrors inflicted on babies and moms that Democrat politicians like Kamala Harris facilitate. Today, as Vice President Kamala Harris seeks to win the White House, I hope my story serves as a warning that Harris’ laundry list of incompetency and injustice against immigrants and women make her unfit to lead our nation.

New: Another CNN Softball Kamala Interview

Gets Insulted Again replies
As RedState reported earlier, the clips from CNN of Vice President Kamala Harris giving her first formal sit-down interview since Joe Biden's forced withdrawal from the presidential race in July are starting to drop - and are raising eyebrows along the way.
In the first one, the Democratic presidential nominee received a predictable softball question from CNN anchor Dana Bash about the dramatic change in her policy positions (read: flip-flops) from when she first ran for president in 2019 to the present day.
Harris answered, in part, that "I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is, my values have not changed."
Did you hear that scream? Liberals far and wide are no doubt freaking out right now because the election they thought they had in the bag after the Democratic Party crowned Kamala Harris as its nominee, which sent a jolt of enthusiasm in their party, is now slipping away.
Kamala's honeymoon bounce is now on a downward trajectory, and a slew of battleground state polling is looking really good for Donald Trump. But perhaps even more devastating for the Democrats is that Nate Silver's famous election projection model has Trump ahead for the first time in weeks. That is a nearly ten-point swing in Trump's favor in the projection model
Well, so much for substance!
First off, we have to ask whether this is rumor or fact. Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller alleged on Twitter an hour ago or so that the vaunted Kamala Harris-Tim Walz media launch will only last less than a typical sitcom episode, sans commercials. Miller also claims to be "hearing" that CNN won't release a full transcript of the Dana Bash interview either.
That would be ... strange: Supposedly, the interview was supposed to run for an hour. With two interview subjects taking their first (supposedly) adversarial questions since getting appointed to the ticket, especially on a ticket that has yet to publish its policy agenda,
Vice President Kamala Harris has a history of inflating her record as a California prosecutor, using it to propel her political career.
Harris has pinned her election argument on her experience as a prosecutor, promising the American people that she will hold former President Donald Trump accountable.
'I was an elected attorney general and an elected district attorney. And before that, I was a courtroom prosecutor,' Harris says on the campaign trail in her stump speech.'So, in those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds … so hear me when I say: I know Donald Trump's type.'

Democrat Vice Presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) is facing yet another scandal after it was revealed he signed new teacher licensing rules that target Christians, Jews, and Muslims.
Taking effect in July 2025, Minnesota will require teacher license applicants to affirm transgenderism, race, and other culturally sensitive issues that violate their religious beliefs. If teachers refuse to accept the new regulations, their teaching license will not be renewed. The policy applies to both public and private schools.
Vice President Kamala Harris holds a slim lead over former President Donald Trump after an expected polling bump following last week’s Democratic National Convention, according to a survey released Thursday.
The Wall Street Journal’s latest national poll showed Harris leading Trump by 1 percentage point.
The Democratic nominee pulled 48% support in a head-to-head matchup compared to the Republican nominee’s 47% backing.
When third-party candidates were included in the survey, Harris’ advantage grew to 2 points, 47% to 45%. Both results were within the poll’s 2.5 percentage point margin for error. The survey’s findings suggest that Trump, 78, would likely emerge victorious in the Electoral College race,
A newly leaked email from inside ABC News has revealed the rules for the upcoming September 10th presidential debate while calling into question recent framing from the Harris campaign.
On Monday, one of Harris' handlers took to social media to claim that Donald Trump was threatening to pull out of the debate because he was "afraid" to have unmuted mics. That followed a Politico report that claimed both campaigns had hit an impasse over the rules.
To anyone who had been following this saga, what was happening was clear. Early on, the Harris campaign had repeatedly accused Trump of cowardice and "backing out" of the debate
Former President Donald Trump has the edge over Vice President Kamala Harris in a close race for the White House, according to a pair of polls published Thursday.
Harris has a more challenging road to the White House than Trump when considering the polls–one from Emerson College/Nexstar Media and another from Fabrizio Ward & Associates– and deeper themes stirring both nationally and in the individual states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. For instance, one essential theme to consider is Trump regularly outperforms the polls: In the post-Democratic National Convention (DNC) August 25-28 Emerson College poll, Trump has a 50 percent to 47 percent lead

She is the founder of the nonprofit Faith in Public Life, which claims to advance the "moral imperative for a just, inclusive and equitable country." She now runs a campaign seeking to root out White nationalism within the Christian faith.
Sen. J.D. Vance made his appeal to 'booing' firefighters at a conference in Boston on Thursday.
The Republican vice presidential nominee took in stride the commanding boos that came over a chorus of cheers at the International Association of Firefighters conference as he urged them to give him a chance to deliver his 'pitch' to earn their vote.
'Sounds like we've got some fans and some haters – that's OK,' Vance said.
But he urged the crowd to 'listen to what i have to say here and I'll make my pitch.'
The United Nations is “terrified” at the prospect of a second Trump presidency, according to a leaked conversation with a senior official at the global agency. “I’m not sure the United Nations is going to survive a second term from Donald Trump,” Jorge Paoletti, an associate legal officer at the UN Office of Legal Affairs in New York, told an undercover reporter from podcaster Steven Crowder’s Mug Club.
MSNBC host Ari Melber threatened Trump aide Corey Lewandowski with legal action during a live broadcast of The Beat.

Joe Biden was sunning himself at his Rehoboth Beach house and Kamala Harris was holed away with staff in Washington this week on the third anniversary of their disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. Only Donald Trump bothered to show up to the wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery for the Gold Star families of the 13 service members killed by a suicide bomber in the chaotic evacuation from Kabul. For a man damned as an unfeeling monster by Democrats, Trump always manages to outshine Biden and Harris in the empathy stakes, whether he is meeting victims of a toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, visiting a bodega in crime-wracked Harlem
PALM BEACH, Florida — Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that his youngest son, Barron Trump, has been increasingly involved in politics, and it was Barron who convinced him to sit for an interview with podcaster Adin Ross.
Trump’s comments came during an exclusive interview with Breitbart News at Mar-a-Lago in mid-August, and just after he had sat with Ross for an interview that got tens of millions of views. They also came as Trump’s youngest son Barron’s increased interest in politics has gotten attention as he hits adulthood and readies himself to go to college.

WASHINGTON — ABC News has declined to adopt Vice President Kamala Harris’ request to have wholly unmuted microphones during her Sept. 10 debate with former President Donald Trump — after days of wrangling over what Republicans viewed as Democratic attempts to lay a trap for the GOP nominee.

Kamala’s Gospel of Envy

Winston Churchill warned the free world 80 years ago: “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” Yes, a gospel of envy can be attractive to anyone who doesn’t have to pay for what they want. It’s easy to understand why “equity” is such a powerful word in the progressive world of the left.[Snip] it’s clear that leftists feel they are entitled to equal results no matter how little people have to do to earn those results. Can you buy votes by attracting freeloaders? The left seems to think so.
Kamala Harris and her new running mate, Tim Walz, will impoverish America.
That’s the best way to understand one of their most important – yet least-known – policy pipe dreams. As vice president, Harris has backed so-called “net zero,” which means offsetting every iota of manmade greenhouse gases. Walz, as governor, has pushed one of the most aggressive net-zero policies in America, mandating no carbon emissions in Minnesota by 2040.
This promise is economic suicide.
Not only is it unachievable, but ramping up unreliable and costly energy sources like wind and solar while eliminating reliable and affordable options like natural gas and nuclear power is disastrous.
In 2008, when Barack Obama was running for president, he flat out lied about opposing gay marriage based on his deep Christian beliefs. We know this because in a book published in 2015, former senior adviser to the president David Axelrod described Obama, after such a speech, complaining to him, "I’m just not very good at bulls---ing." It turns out he actually was pretty good at it. Today the American people have to ask themselves how good Vice President Kamala Harris is at B.S. as she seeks to transform herself from a San Francisco progressive into a blue-dog centrist Democrat.
CNN’s Dana Bash has a chance at “stardom” if she gives Vice President Kamala Harris a “fair but tough interview,” former President Donald Trump said Thursday.
The Harris campaign gave Bash the vice president’s first interview since she joined the 2024 race 39 days ago.
The media have not interviewed Harris on television since June 24, 2024, and the last time the press reportedly questioned her at a solo news conference was eight months ago on December 2, 2023. “Dana Bash of CNN has a chance at greatness today,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “If she gave a fair but tough interview of Comrade Kamala Harris, she will expose her
How do accomplished radicals elect a mediocre far-left presidential candidate? The task might at first seem impossible.[Snip] Until just recently, Democrats had considered an unpopular and enfeebled Biden nonetheless far preferable to an incoherent, lightweight, and widely ridiculed potential replacement Vice President Harris.After all, she had never before entered a presidential primary. She never won a single delegate by voting. She failed miserably as a candidate in 2020.And she co-owns the unpopular record of an even more unpopular president.
The complete Harris makeover requires fifteen radical rules followed to the letter:
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson had to intervene to get former President Donald Trump into Arlington National Cemetery for the third anniversary of the Afghanistan withdrawal with Gold Star families, a family told the Daily Caller.[Snip] Arlington National Cemetery told Gold Star families that they could only be there for a specific time that did not work for everyone’s schedule and were also told the president could not join them at their children’s gravesites, the family told the Caller.
Kamala Harris has done more flips than a transgender Olympic gymnast. Here’s a sampling:
In her aborted 2019 campaign, she promised to ban fracking. That’s not a popular position in swing state Pennsylvania, and so now she promises not to.
She used to support “Medicare for All,” a great-sounding name for a program that would abolish private health insurance and financially wreck the existing Medicare program. Now she says “never mind.”
She mocked President Trump’s construction of a border wall as a “medieval vanity project.” While Vice President, she supported her boss’s abandonment and demolition of what Trump had constructed, and welcomed the ensuing invasion by over ten million illegal aliens.

Could you imagine the hysterical pearl-clutching if Republicans had made the same comment about a female Democrat?

But since it was Obama, the media yawned and moved on: It’s just an expression, folks!

A frightening scenario has taken place not once but twice in East County near San Diego, California, where, on August 27, 2024, and again the following day, numerous illegal immigrants attempted to force their way onto school buses packed with children.

In one of the most disgusting press stories I've been privy to, The New York Times published a piece essentially trashing the Gold Star families who invited Donald Trump to Arlington National Cemetery on Monday.
As RedState reported, the president appeared at a ceremony honoring the 13 murdered American service members who died during the Abbey Gate Bombing. The devastating event unfolded in August of 2021 amid the Biden-Harris administration's incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris neither showed up for the ceremony nor gave live statements commemorating the third anniversary of the deaths. Instead, the president vacationed on the beach while Harris continued campaigning.

The elements of an economic plan presented by Kamala Harris consist of price controls, higher taxes, greater government spending, interventions, regulations, and subsidies paid for by printing a currency devalued by high inflation. These elements constitute “21st-century socialism.” The Kamala Harris–Tim Walz economic plan is the most radical socialist economic plan ever announced by the Democrats.
It was Spanish-American philosopher George Santayana who said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Why cite him? Because Harris and Walz don’t seem to be able to remember the past, much less learn from it. They want to take the U.S. back 75 years
When people ask why we need so-called assault weapons, most of us default to point out that we don't have to illustrate a need to exercise our rights. That is completely true and I'm one of those who has said it time and time again. We don't, nor should we. If we're required to show a need, then it's not a right in the first place. That was the core issue at the heart of the Bruen case, really. The state demanded someone show a need and the Supreme Court said you can't do that.
That extrapolates out to things like AR-15s.

Savannah, Ga.—Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, will sit down Thursday for their first major television interview of their presidential campaign as the duo travels in southeast Georgia on a bus tour.
The interview with CNN’s Dana Bash will give Harris a chance to quell criticism that she has eschewed uncontrolled environments, while also giving her a fresh platform to define her campaign and test her political mettle ahead of an upcoming debate with former President Donald Trump set for Sept. 10.

It was the third anniversary of Biden’s surrender of Afghanistan to the Taliban.
FJB also gave the terrorist organization billions of dollars in military equipment as a tribute. Finally, he did nothing to protect our military, leaving 13 troops to die in a war that had not seen a military death in a year. Later, Biden denied that any soldiers died on his watch. After visiting the graves and honoring the troops, Trump later got on Trump Force One and flew to Michigan.

So much for “no means no.”
That’s the message from the state Court of Appeals, which ruled last week that New Yorkers don’t need an excuse to cast an absentee ballot by mail when they’re otherwise able to vote in person — even though the voters themselves have directly rejected such a measure.
Mail-in voting is hardly a revolutionary idea: Oregon since 2000 has conducted elections exclusively by mail, and several other states have followed, including Vermont.
But it involves an important balancing act, as state officials seek to maximize election participation while minimizing — to varying levels of success — fraud.

While at times it’s been hard to pin down just what Kamala Harris stands for – somehow she’s both a tough prosecutor and an advocate for defunding the police – she is at her core a hard-left progressive. But her campaign team, which includes the mainstream media, is putting in the extra hours to recast her as a centrist.
Don’t fall for the lie.
In the weeks following her party coronation, never-received-a-vote-outside-of-California Harris has been presented to voters as a “sober-minded centrist.” Other media outlets and personalities have eagerly covered her fundamental transition.
She no longer opposes fracking.
I have to say that I'm liking JD Vance – in fact, he's killing it. Now, I've always liked the guy. I've met him a couple of times and he's not a stiff. He’s a normal human being, as one would expect from an Ohioan (I am one too, despite my California residence for the last half-century). He doesn't have that weird vibe you get from a lot of politicians, that if they take off their suit they'll disappear. The Democrats may think he's weird, or at least claim he is, but that's only because they are weirdos.
Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) told Vice President Kamala Harris she “can go to hell” Wednesday if she wanted to criticize former President Donald Trump for attending a ceremony honoring the fallen 13 servicemembers who died during the Afghanistan withdrawal.
Vance’s swipe came after the Trump campaign reportedly got into an altercation with a cemetery official at Arlington National Cemetery, who tried to stop them from filming and photographing in Section 60, the burial site for military personnel killed while fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.
In an interview with CNN, a spokesperson for Harris, Michael Tyler, called the incident “pretty sad” and “not surprising.”

The footage was captured earlier this month, shortly before a shootout at the complex, The Edge at Lowry, severely injured one person and damaged multiple cars, according to the local news station.
Vice President Kamala Harris called for the removal of police officers from schools in 2019 to address racial disparities in student discipline, according to remarks she made during her first presidential campaign.
In a 2019 interview during her initial run for the presidency, then-Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) argued for eliminating on-campus police presence to address racial inequities.
In a recently resurfaced clip of the event, Harris voices her concerns about the disproportionate rates of suspensions and expulsions among black and brown students, calling for a reevaluation of how discipline is enforced in schools.
Tucker Carlson has once again captured the attention of the internet, this time by mocking Kamala Harris after she posted an alleged letter from him on X promoting gun control.
The letter, which appeared to support gun control measures, had the internet buzzing, but not for the reasons Harris likely hoped.
The letter Harris posted, supposedly penned by “Tucker from Alabama,” gushed about free speech and the Biden administration’s efforts to promote “common sense” gun laws.
The letter reads:
Vice President Harris,
One of my absolute favorite things in America is how people of different backgrounds and beliefs have the freedom to communicate with each other.
Don't look now, but the New York Times sounds worried, too. Thus far, Democrats have a lot more billionaire money to fund their operations and those of their assorted super-PACs. Arabella in particular leverages massive contributions from the ultra-wealthy Left to fund all sorts of progressive storefronts, as Scott Walter explained almost exactly four months ago in a podcast interview.
Now that the world's wealthiest magnate may join the other side, though, suddenly it's time for Panic in the Demsco:
Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, has hired a Republican operative with expertise in field organizing to help steer his political work, a move that suggests that Mr. Musk
The founder of a radical anti-police nonprofit has been accused of using company funds to purchase designer apparel and rent out luxurious mansions around the world for personal travel.
Brandon D. Anderson, 39, who founded an app intended to replace law enforcement officers with average citizens called Raheem AI, is alleged to have spent at least $250,000 on lavish goods in 2021 which were not approved by the organization, the New York Times reported. (snip) Anderson, a gay US Army veteran, founded the anti-police organization after his late fiancee, Raheem, was reportedly killed by an abusive cop.
Pro-Palestinian students have assumed control of student government at the University of Michigan with the return to fall classes, suspending funding for student groups until the administration agrees to divest from, and boycott, Israel.
The New York Times reported Tuesday:
At the University of Michigan, many student activities are usually funded or subsidized by the Central Student Government, known as C.S.G., an elected undergraduate and graduate council that decides how to dole out roughly $1.3 million annually to about 400 groups.
California Governor Gavin Newsom will make the final decision on a bill that would make illegal aliens eligible for $150,000 in home loans for first-time buyers, after the State Assembly passed a final version of the bill on Wednesday. (X) Assemblyman Bill Essayli (R-Corona) helped lead Republican opposition to the bill, but Democrats passed it by a three-to-one veto-proof majority, sending it to the governor’s desk — and drawing attention to the party’s pattern of creating incentives for illegal migration by heaping taxpayer-funded benefits onto people who are not supposed to be in the country at all.
