For The First Time
Posted By: Imright, 9/12/2024 9:18:22 PM
The interest burden of the public debt of the U.S. government has topped $1 trillion already this year, the first time interest costs have crossed the trillion dollar threshold. In the first 11 months of the fiscal year, interest payments totaled $1.05 trillion, up 30 percent from a year ago, the Treasury Department said Thursday. This is the first time interest payments have ever climbed about $1 trillion. Despite claims by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to have addressed the U.S. budget deficit, the deficit is up 24 percent in the first 11 months of this fiscal year compared with the previous period,

Former President Donald Trump responded perfectly to people accusing him of being angry during this week’s presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris. “People said that I was angry at the debate, angry,” Trump told a crowd in Tuscon, Arizona.
“'I was angry, and yes, I am angry because she allowed 21 million illegal aliens invading our communities. Many of them are criminals,” he said. “I’m angry about Venezuelan gangs taking over Aurora, Colorado, and illegal Haitian migrants taking over Springfield, Ohio. I’m angry about young American girls being raped and sodomized by savage criminal aliens. I’m angry about rampant inflation destroying our Middle Class—
Billionaire Elon Musk on Saturday called out the far-Left’s “love” of “censorship” after a California theater caved to activists’ pressure to cancel showings of Daily Wire film “Am I Racist?”
Following up “What is a Woman?,” “Am I Racist?” is Matt Walsh’s latest documentary, which explores the massive grift of the DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) industry with a man-bun-wearing undercover Walsh.
“As reported by [Robby Starbuck], left wing activists are bullying theaters into dropping our film,” Walsh posted online Saturday. “This theater just issued an apology. The only way to stop the Left from shutting down the film is to support the theaters that are showing it. Tickets here: http://AmIRacist.com.”
The New York Times has warned its readers not to necessarily expect a result on election night in November in the all-important race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris for the White House.
In a piece entitled Harris or Trump? Once Again, Election Results Could Take Awhile, the paper’s politics reporter urges people hosting election night parties to book hotel rooms for more than one night because of the “intense security measures” that are required to deal with mail-in ballots.
The report explains:
If a winner is not declared on election night, it will not necessarily point to failures in the process. More likely,
When Jimmy Kimmel eventually retires, maybe MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle could take his place. On Friday, Ruhle was not happy with young Republicans who are unpersuaded by Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris because they care more about economic issues than social one because she could not “remember the last time I heard Kamala Harris talk about anything like that.” Meanwhile, RiskReversal Media co-founder Dan Nathan unironically replied by hyping that Harris is supposedly “destroying” Donald Trump on abortion.
I walked away from the Democratic Party and joined the Republicans.
I will vote for Donald Trump for president.
I’ve been a true-blue Democrat, a former California state senator who chaired its Senate Democratic Caucus and served as Senate Majority Leader.
I was a Democratic National Convention delegate for Jesse Jackson and Barack Obama, and state co-chair for President Obama’s re-election.
But I’ve said goodbye, adios, I’ve had enough.
This is not the Democratic Party I once championed. I don’t recognize it anymore.
The so-called “party of democracy” eradicated 14 million votes, including mine, to install Vice President Kamala Harris as its nominee.

Earlier on Friday, President Joe Biden was the featured speaker at a first-ever brunch event at the White House to honor Black Excellence. As my colleague Sister Toldjah wrote, Biden was back to his old tricks, by likely thwarting the carefully curated remarks cobbled together by his minders. Recall when they made a big deal about former President Donald Trump talking about "black jobs"? But there was another moment when Biden spoke off the cuff--possibly from newly written notes, which he gave before the remarks scrolling on the teleprompter. At 24:43 in the video below, Biden delivers the expected, warmed-over, leftist attack of racism against Trump, about the
Former President Donald Trump announced plans to keep illegal immigrants from receiving or renting government-funded housing.
On Thursday, Trump said that if elected, he would ban illegal immigrants from receiving home mortgages and renting apartments in federally subsidized apartment buildings. He would also include conditions in their rental agreements, such as requiring people to show proof of citizenship or legal residency. “When I return to the White House, we will require all companies receiving federal housing subsidies to verify citizenship,” Trump said. “We’re going to make sure that it’s a legal residency as a condition of their rental agreements.”
Of the numerous lies Kamala Harris told the American people on Tuesday night during her first presidential debate against President Donald Trump, one of the most insulting lies was when she lectured about American men and women serving in combat zones.
When questioned about one of the most disastrous failures in US history – Biden-Harris Afghanistan surrender and withdrawal from Afghanistan – Kamala bragged that there are no American men and women serving in a combat zone today.
Kamala was asked, “Do you take any responsibility for the 13 lives that were lose in the evacuation of Afghanistan?”
Kamala Harris has wasted little time in capitalizing on Taylor Swift’s endorsement.
The Democratic National Committee and the Kamala Harris campaign has launched a series of digital billboards in New York’s Times Square and the Las Vegas strip that borrow from Taylor Swift’s albums and songs.“We’re in Our Kamala Era!” one billboard blares.
“A New Way Forward…. Ready for It?” another asks. (Video) The billboards reportedly went live in New York and Las Vegas on Friday.
Taylor Swift posted her Kamala Harris endorsement to Instagram late Tuesday, clearly timed to land just moments after the presidential debate.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued a ruling Friday that will allow mail-in ballots without accurate dates on their return envelopes to be thrown out.
In late August, a Pennsylvania state court halted the enforcement of requiring voters to include accurate, handwritten dates on submitted mail-in ballots, according to CBS News. However, the state’s Supreme Court, in a 4-3 vote, has now reinstated the requirement as two Democrats on the high court joined both Republicans to vacate the Commonwealth Court decision, according to the court documents.
Just four days ago, Kamala Harris stood on a debate stage and claimed that she and Tim Walz both own guns and that no one is coming to take anyone’s guns away.
Here’s exactly what she said.
From CBS News:
Vice President Kamala Harris surprised many when she revealed Tuesday night that she is a gun owner as she rebuffed former President Trump’s claim during the presidential debate that her administration would confiscate Americans’ firearms.
“This business about taking everyone’s guns away, Tim Walz and I are both gun owners,” Harris said during the debate hosted by ABC News. “We’re not taking anybody’s guns away.”
Kamala Harris desperately wants to be “unburdened by what has been” – the Biden-Harris policies she helped develop and implement. She wants voters to focus on the “joy” and “freedom” she insists would be America’s future if voters elect her, Tim Walz and their Biden-Harris-Obama “advisors.” However, she was the “last person in the room” with President Biden for major decisions and is super-glued to what she says are “still my values” about energy, climate, immigration, rioters and police.
She cannot run away from the horrendous Biden-Harris record on energy and food price inflation;

Pope Francis on Friday slammed both major U.S. presidential candidates as "against life," because of Vice President Kamala Harris's stance on abortion, and former President Donald Trump's stance on immigration, but told Americans to choose the "lesser of two evils."
The pope, who has weighed in on politics as the head of the Catholic Church more than his recent predecessors, did not indicate which candidate was considered the "lesser of two evils." (snip) The pope previously blasted Trump for his immigration policies in the 2016 presidential election, because of his desire to build a border wall. Francis claimed that anyone who did so was "not a Christian."

Along with Hollywood "Meathead" Rob Reiner, La La Land's Robert De Niro is undoubtedly one of the most Trump-loathing people on the planet. The venom spewed by these two leftists against the former president is so toxic that the unintended humor is off the charts.
Toss Chris Wallace, former host of "Fox News Sunday," now a CNN simp, into the mix, and it doesn't get any better.
Such was the case on Friday when Wallace trotted onto the set of "CNN News Central" to pimp his latest episode of HBO Max's "Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?" with De Niro. In both shows, Wallace fawned over TDS-riddled De Niro

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., slammed the Electoral College as an "obsolete" system from the 18th century that is deadly for Americans.Raskin spoke with The Free Speech project at the Riggs Library in Washington D.C. on Friday. The congressman expounded on a variety of topics, particularly his efforts to discredit and ultimately circumvent the Electoral College in the name of protecting American democracy. "We passed the nation’s first National Popular Vote Interstate Compact," he said, touting his work. "We initiated that, we’re now more than two thirds of the way there, because it’s 2024.
For more than two centuries, it’s a town that has stayed out of the spotlight as its largely law-abiding folk quietly carried on with their lives.
It's so unassuming, even its name was taken from another city.
But now Springfield, Ohio, has suddenly found itself under worldwide scrutiny over its burgeoning Haitian population – and you can taste the tension on the streets.The latest inflammatory and unproven accusations that some new immigrants are eating household pets have only served to increase the rancor of many locals who cannot accept the new arrivals.
Meanwhile, some of the 15,000 or so Haitians who have made the city their home
ABC News anchor Linsey Davis revealed in a post-debate Los Angeles Times puff-piece profile how she, ABC World News Tonight anchor David Muir and ABC producers schemed to ambush President Trump with ‘fact checks’ at Tuesday night’s presidential debate in Philadelphia with Kamala Harris after watching Trump crush and knock Joe Biden out of the race in their June debate. (Photos)
The fact checking at the debate was one-sided, with Trump being interrupted by Muir and Davis several times with ‘fact checks’ while Harris was not ‘fact checked’ once.
ABC News is denying the extraordinary allegations there was collusion between the presidential debate moderators and Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign.
'Absolutely not,' an ABC News spokesperson told the Daily Beast. 'Harris was not given any questions before the debate.'
Former President Donald Trump and his MAGA allies have stoked conspiracy theories that Harris had a leg up in the debate. Most polling showed that Americans believed Harris had the more commanding performance onstage Tuesday night in Philadelphia.
Singer John Legend waded into the boiling migrant crisis unfolding in his hometown of Springfield, Ohio, by telling the town's residents to 'embrace' the 20,000 Haitian migrants whose arrival has sparked a political firestorm.
In a recorded Instagram video from his Beverly Hills mansion, Legend - a staunch Democrat - said: 'So you might imagine there are some challenges with, you know, integrating a new population.
'New language, new culture, new dietary preferences. All kinds of reasons why they might be growing pains'.
Details have emerged of the first batch of stores that Big Lots is closing for good.
The 292 locations, dotted all over the country, are offering as much as 50 percent off bargains - prompting a rush of shoppers looking for deals.
The Columbus, Ohio-based chain on Monday filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after years of making big losses. In total, it plans to close a third of its 1,392 locations to cuts costs as it woos a new owner. Retail experts say Big Lots main problem is that it markets itself as a place for bargains, but it is often more expensive than the likes of Walmart and Target.
If you judge Kamala Harris by the one big decision she made so far in her campaign — picking Tim Walz as a running mate — she doesn't fare very well. Walz has largely been a mess, bringing with him a stolen valor scandal and all sorts of prevarications about his life.[Snip] But he put his foot in it big time when he started to tell a story that he said he loved about Kamala Harris.(Video) "As a young prostituter, Kamala Harris talked about going into that courtroom for the first time,"[Snip]… he seemed to swallow hard after that and try to move on, but there was no taking it back.
Anyone who watched the presidential debate hosted by ABC News on Tuesday knows that the moderators were biased and repeatedly fact-checked Trump while letting Kamala Harris's lies go unchallenged. We kind of expected that to happen, as the bias and conflicts of interests of the moderators and the network as a whole were well established. However, there are reports now that an ABC News whistleblower is about to come forward with evidence that Kamala was given sample questions before the debate.
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.
After nearly two months of procrastination, Kamala Harris finally did her first solo interview since shoving Joe Biden out of the presidential race. On Friday, the vice president sat down with a local ABC News affiliate in Philadelphia to answer questions for a whole 10 minutes.
Funny enough, the reporter who conducted the interview has a history of being called in when Democrat presidential nominees need a boost. Sure enough, the questioning wasn't exactly tough, and Harris was instead asked a variety of softballs. The problem? She couldn't answer them://snip//You know, I grew up in a neighborhood of people who were really proud of their lawn
