A town hall event with Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday featured a shocking revelation after one voter simply wondered whether she could ask a question. Former California First Lady Maria Shriver admitted while hosting the event with former Rep. Liz Cheney in Royal Oak, Michigan that she would only include 'predetermined questions.' 'Are we going to be able to ask a question?' asked a woman in the audience.'You're not, unfortunately we have some predetermined questions,' Shriver replied. 'And hopefully I'll be able to ask some of the questions that might be in your head, I hope so.' Typically, presidential campaigns allow voters at townhall meetings to ask unscripted questions,

But that's what a Town Hall meeting is. An opportunity for citizens to put forth questions directly to the candidate wishing to be elected.

So true, #2, but this was meant to be a “Townhall” in name only. Progressive Shriver joins other hack journalists who have thrown away their reputations to push this ridiculous candidate. For Maria to respond so calmly to audience member as if it’s no big deal to admit it’s all a phony event is amazing.

It was never meant to be a real town hall, just the appearance of one. Unfortunately the truth actually slipped from Shriver's mouth and the charade was exposed. Kamala is a middle class phony who couldn't answer an unscripted question if her candidacy depended on it; and it does! She has been proven herself incompetent for all to see.

Everybody needs to shut up so Tramp, and I do mean kamala, can get elected. That's all that matters. The audience members were probably paid to be there and didn't care about asking Qs.

Town Hall are supposed to allow people to ask their questions. They are not supposed to be staged events. Yet the crowd being told that they could not ask questions because they’re predetermined proved that this was a staged event and they were only props to make it look like it was a town hall meeting.

Residents from another midwestern town, this time in Indiana, say city resources are being strained and their children put last due to a sudden influx of migrants from Haiti. Thousands of new migrants, hailing mostly from Haiti, are now living in Logansport, Indiana, a town with a population of just 18,000. Though local officials say they have not been given any answers on just how many migrants have moved in, estimates range from 3,000 to 5,000 Haitians. The surrounding areas have seen an influx as well, with an estimated 11,000 new migrants county-wide. Logansport Mayor Chris Martin has said that there are “assimilation issues” related to culture,

Both former president Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are focusing on Latino voters Tuesday — but only one of them is on the campaign trail. Trump will sit down for a roundtable with Latino business leaders in Florida before heading back to battleground North Carolina for a rally, while Harris films two interviews: one with with Spanish-language TV network Telemundo and another with NBC News.

If Donald Trump wins the presidency again in two weeks, this might be the ad that did it. It’s a spot called “Nonsense,” and it opens with a line so over-the-top it feels like a parody: “Kamala Supports Taxpayer Funded Sex Changes for Prisoners.” “And,” the ad continues, for “illegal aliens.” (Photo) It’s a grand slam for a Republican ad: left-wing cultural nonsense, waste of taxpayer money, coddling criminals, and illegal immigration — all in one! I laughed out loud the first time I heard the tagline: “Kamala’s for they/them. President Trump is for you.”

The real foreign interference in this election is not coming from Russia but rather from Harris campaign officials colluding with political operatives from arguably America’s closest ally, The United Kingdom. And the world’s richest man is right in the bullseye. As The Gateway Pundit has tirelessly reported, the Harris-Biden regime has been relentlessly trying to put Musk ‘in his place.’ Biden-Harris’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been baselessly investigating Elon Musk’s lawful purchase of X/Twitter in 2022 and is also suing him. To make matters worse, the SEC announced last month they would sanction Musk after he refused to appear in court

On the campaign trail this month, Vice President Kamala Harris openly mocked attendees at her rally who shouted “Jesus is Lord.” This is a far cry from how Sen. JD Vance responded to supporters at his rally who did the same thing. As Townhall covered, mocked pro-life attendees at one of her rallies who shouted “Christ is king,” and “Jesus is Lord.” When the attendee shouted this, Harris retorted,”You guys are at the wrong rally.” The audience applauded her for saying that. (X Video) At a Vance campaign event in Wisconsin on Sunday, an attendee shouted “Jesus is king” as Vance was speaking.

A chilling photo shows how close Hezbollah could have come to killing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — with an explosive drone cracking his bedroom window. The Israeli military allowed local outlets to publish the shocking photo on Tuesday, showing the extent of the damage on the Caesarea home as the blast splintered a bedroom window on the upper floor and damaged the surrounding wall. The trees near the window were also blown off and burned by the exploding UAV, but the damage was limited to the outside as the window was reinforced glass, the Times of Israel reports.

To call the current United States national debt a catastrophe is akin to calling the Mongol invasion of Europe a "mildly disturbing event." Our current debt is a disaster, our ability to recover from it may well be gone. Oh, some will point out that at the end of World War 2, our debt as a percentage of GDP was just as high as now; but it's important to remember that, in 1946, the United States was the only real economic and manufacturing superpower left on the planet. The big cities of Europe and Asia were in ruins; entire national economies were destroyed. As the recovery began, for some time,

Susan Ford Bales is a registered Republican and admitted she would 'likely disagree on some policy matters' pushed by the vice president. But ultimately she believed that Harris' 'integrity and commitment to those same principles that guided Dad have led me to conclude' that she should be in the White House over Donald Trump.[snip] Ford was Michigan's only president and was propelled to the White House when Richard Nixon resigned in 1973 in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal.

Two impeachments, 88 felony counts (with guilty verdicts on 34 of them), a massive fine, two assassination attempts, unrelentingly hostile media coverage, a last-minute candidate switcheroo, and Donald Trump is still showing signs that he will win the election in two weeks. So, what do Democrats still have up their sleeve to stop Trump? They must have something. Back in May, we asked what the Democrats’ Plan B was if their lawfare campaign against Trump failed, and offered five options – four of which have come to pass. Here is what we said then.

While New Yorkers on Election Day will vote on the controversial “Equal Rights Amendment,” Ohio is ground zero for an effort to wrest control away from the people and give it to unelected, Fauci-like bureaucrats to achieve “redistricting reform.” And the movement is anything but organic: It’s an out-of-state (and even international) attempt by left-wing politicians to trick voters into rewriting our state constitution by passing Issue 1.

Halperin, an author of several books about American elections and currently a reporter for Newsmax, told Carlson it may result in a psychological catastrophe across the country if Donald Trump beats Kamala Harris. 'I think it will be the cause of the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country,' he said, adding that liberals would question their 'connection to the nation' and suffer 'trauma in the workplace.'
