“She couldn’t answer a direct question.”
But why?
Watch as he explains:
Last night, Kamala Harris once again refused to name a single policy difference between her and Joe Biden.

“What I saw was a person who not just didn’t have the skill to navigate a tough interview, but doesn’t know how to explain her record because her record is not possible to explain away to the American people,” he said.
Watch the entire interview:
A commentary at Twitchy added, “She didn’t answer one question, not one. Nope, she was far more concerned with ‘filibustering’ the interview so she could pretend she said something without really saying anything. His questions were fairly simple and basic, questions any presidential candidate should have been able to answer, but all she did was spin, deflect, bring up Trump, and spin some more. In other words, she imploded. If she can’t handle Bret Baier how on Earth does anyone believe she could handle Putin or Xi? C’mon.”

]]>It’s those with the Biden name, the Clinton name, and others, who have been unleashing startlingly anti-Harris comments recently.
And now former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has put into words what he believes is going on:
“We're in the early stages of watching her collapse,” says @newtgingrich of Kamala Harris. “It’s just my hunch …. that sometime in the last two weeks, Joe and Jill looked at each other and thought, you know, wouldn't it be a great legacy if Joe's the only guy ever to beat Trump?… pic.twitter.com/fPHLBTLThN

He explains, “We’re in the early stages of watching her collapse. … It’s just my hunch … that sometime in the last two weeks, Joe and Jill looked at each other and thought, you know, wouldn’t it be a great legacy if Joe’s the only guy ever to beat Trump? And I think the stuff he’s done to undermine her in the last ten days is pretty amazing.”
It is a report at Revolver.news that has assembled a list of those incidents.
“To the casual onlooker, it’s clear that the old guard of the Democrat Party – people like the Bidens and the Clintons—have no love for Kamala Harris. In fact, if you’re paying even the slightest bit of attention, you’ll notice the old guard is actively sabotaging her. Whether intentional or not, their disdain for Kamala and the way she ‘rose to power’ is leading to some serious backstabbing,” the report said.
It cited Joe Biden’s decision just weeks ago to wear a MAGA hat, linked directly to President Donald Trump’s Make American Great Again campaign.
Then, while Harris is desperately trying to find some way to separate herself from the Biden-Harris administration failures, for which she was the “border czar” and responsible for the failed multi-billion dollar campaign to link rural America to the web, Biden is putting her resoundingly in his camp.
After all, he confirmed he and she are “singing from the same song sheet.”
Then she attacked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over his actions following Hurricane Helene, and Biden defended and praised him.
“But Joe’s not the only one, folks. Bill Clinton is now shuffling around the campaign trail, and he’s made some eyebrow-raising moves to sabotage Kamala, just weeks away from Election Day. It’s hard to tell if these are the actions of senile men who don’t have a clue, or if they’re actually lucid, making well-calculated moves against a power-hungry woman who’s never earned anything on her own merits,” the report said.
Clinton recently confirmed what Republicans have said for years: Democrats want open borders and mass illegal immigrant actually to replace American voters:
Bill Clinton: "We got the lowest birthrate we’ve had in well over a hundred years, we’re not a replacement level, which means we’ve gotta have somebody come here if we want to grow the economy.”
Democrats want to replace American citizens with migrants.

And he confirmed the Biden-Harris campaign to do that has brought misery to Americans, such as the family of Laken Riley, killed by an illegal alien. He said Riley probably would be alive had Harris, as Biden’s “border czar,” insisted that those entering the U.S. be properly vetted.
NEW: Former President Bill Clinton says Laken Riley would be alive if Kamala Harris and Joe Biden did proper vetting before letting illegals in.
Riley was k*lled by an illegal immigrant who illegally entered the United States in 2022 under Kamala Harris.

The report explained while Biden is undermining Harris, “it’s Bill Clinton who’s really going full throttle in destroying Kamala. He’s plunging the dagger right into the heart of her flailing campaign. As we mentioned, he’s out on the trail for Team Kamala, and while he’s out there – looking like he’s been rode hard and put away wet – he’s also telling the country that Kamala Harris is pushing the Great Replacement Theory. That’s the theory that (correctly) claims globalists are letting their countries be overrun by migrants and illegals to create new demographics and voting blocs while erasing white people and the middle class.”
The report explained those seniors in the Democrat party “believe they know she led a soft coup against Joe Biden, and now they’re paying her back for the dirty work. From Biden contradicting her at every turn to Bill Clinton throwing out the truth bombs about her failed leadership and border disaster, it’s obvious they’re doing some sneaky stuff under the radar to make sure she never gets anywhere near the Oval Office.”
Harris’ “soft coup” happened when elites in the party decided to throw Biden under the bus and install Harris as the party’s candidate this year, without her ever winning a single primary vote.

]]>He was asked about the claims during an interview.
And he did not deny them.
It is the Daily Mail that now has updated its reporting on the man, who if Kamala Harris is elected, would be in the White House for four years.
It reported, “Doug Emhoff has dismissed bombshell stories that he slapped his ex-girlfriend and had an affair during his first marriage as a ‘distraction,’ but didn’t deny them. … Emhoff was asked by MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough on Friday whether the allegations about his personal life ‘p—–‘ him off. The Morning Joe host didn’t question him over the details or ask whether DailyMail.com reports about his past were true. Scarborough even reduced them to being ‘tabloid’ stories being pushed by Donald Trump and Republican critics. But Emhoff avoided the chance to slap them down and instead brushed them off while he insisting he was focused on his wife’s presidential campaign.”
The results of the Daily Mail’s investigations already have been reported.
Those include that he “forcefully slapped” a former girlfriend allegedly for “flirting” with another man.
That report came from three “friends” who confirmed that Emhoff “assaulted his ex-girlfriend.”
“The Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, 59, allegedly struck the woman in the face so hard she spun around, while waiting in a valet line late at night after a May 2012 Cannes Film Festival event in France,” the report said. “One of her friends told DailyMail.com that the woman called him immediately after the incident, sobbing in her cab, and described the alleged assault.”
Earlier, it was reported that “Emhoff’s first marriage ended when he got his children’s nanny pregnant. The woman, Najen Naylor, 47, did not deny the story when approached by DailyMail.com at her home in the New York millionaires’ playground, The Hamptons,” the Daily Mail documented.
At that time, Emhoff said there had been “tough times” in his first marriage, because of “my actions.”
Finally, the newest report on Emhoff comes from interviews with former coworkers at California law firms where he worked.
He was considered “inappropriate” and “misogynistic” at the office, there were claims he hired an “unqualified” part-time model as legal secretary “because she was young … attractive,” and that he withdrew work benefits from women who didn’t flirt with him.
The Daily Mail also uncovered opinions that he was a foul-mouthed employee.

]]>After all, that administration is the same administration that effectively has weaponized the Department of Justice to attack Trump, for his comments about the 2020 election, for his handling of government documents, even for his business operations, as a related state agenda demanded.
Further, he’s been targeted by at least two assassination attempts in just the past few weeks, including one that left him wounded. And there have been multiple concerns and complaints that the Secret Service repeatedly denied him the level of protection his own campaign staff said was needed.
Now the situation has gotten worse.
A Fox News report explains that Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., has documented reports from a whistleblower that Secret Service leaders are trying “to hide the level of protection given to former President Donald Trump.”
The chief of the agency already has quit in the wake of agents’ failures to protect Trump in that assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, a few weeks ago.
Hawley sent letters to the Secret Service chief Ronald Rowe and the Department of Homeland Security inspector general Joseph Cuffan, revealing that at this point government auditors are being denied access to some Trump campaign events in an effort “to hide these apparent protection shortfalls for the former president,” the report said.
“You of course have publicly stated that former President Trump is receiving ‘the highest level of Secret Service protection’ and that ‘he’s getting everything.’ This new whistleblower information troublingly contradicts your public statements,” Hawley told the bureaucrats.
Hawley charged, to Cuffan, that, “Secret Service headquarters blocked several of your auditors from accessing recent Trump campaign events.”
Hawley continued, “The Secret Service whistleblower alleges that the denial was in order to hide the fact that the former president is not receiving a consistent level of protective assets for all of his engagements. [Y]ou should be aware of these allegations, which indicate that the Secret Service is not in fact cooperating with your auditors and is instead painting a false picture.”
Hawley has been hearing from whistleblowers since that July 13 attempt on Trump’s life, when he was nicked in the ear by a bullet that likely would have killed him had he not turned his head to look at a poster display at just that second.
He’s given credit to God for saving his life.
Hawley already has released a lengthy report detailing a list of allegations against Washington’s bureaucracy.
“Hawley found a ‘compounding pattern of negligence, sloppiness, and gross incompetence that goes back years, all of which culminated in an assassination attempt that came inches from succeeding,'” Fox reported.
Trump, besides crediting a higher power for sparing his life, has commented on suspicions that outside enemies, including Iranian interests, are trying to take him out.
The Washington Examiner notes that Trump has charged that Biden should threaten to bomb Iran if those linked to the rogue Islamic empire try to assassinate him.
“Iran has an open threat out for me, and that’s bad. And Biden, if he were a real president, if he were the kind of guy he should be, he should say, ‘If anybody shoots a former president, who’s now the leading candidate, even though he’s leading against Democrats, we will bomb that country into oblivion.’ And it would stop.”
The report noted, “Iran has openly touted plans to assassinate Trump since his administration’s assassination of Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps leader Qassem Soleimani in January 2020.”
The two assassination attempts of Trump in July and September were not linked with the Iranian government.

]]>It’s actually a billion dollar industry, and that now has been confirmed, according to a report from LifeNews, in a lawsuit by an abortion business that sued a pregnancy help center, which is located next door, essentially for stealing customers.
The report, originally from Operation Rescue, said the lawsuit is from Four Women, a Massachusetts abortion supplier against Abundant Hope Pregnancy Center, also known as Attleboro Women’s Health Center.
“The abortion business is accusing Abundant Hope of unlawful practices aimed at interfering with women seeking abortions,” according to the report.
The lawsuit by FW claims the “center engages in deceptive advertising and uses technologically advanced methods to reach abortion-vulnerable women, preventing moms from obtaining abortions.”
The report explains the abortion business is complaining that the pregnancy center promotes “appointments in connection with abortion care,” but actually, “It only takes a few seconds of perusing the pregnancy resource center’s professional website to see offerings of material resources and emotional and spiritual support.”
Specifically, “there are offerings for counseling and Bible-based abortion recovery as well as free pregnancy testing and ultrasound imaging.”
The report confirmed, “No indication is given on the website that a woman can schedule an abortion.”
The legal filing alleges that the pregnancy center intercepted communications between women and the abortion business and then called them.
However, the action notes that the abortion business turned in no complaints to police.
“There is no way to know whether these alleged electronic communications with patients are true and accurate,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman, “or whether patients simply got confused about the contacts they had made as they searched online. Of course, those are not the only two possibilities.”
Newman noted, “This legal action is proof that women are changing their minds when receiving hopeful, truthful alternatives. This is an attempt to interfere with the work of Abundant Hope Pregnancy Resource Center as it offers life-giving help to abortion vulnerable women and to women traumatized from past abortions.”
Abortion for all, of course, has been one of two key agenda points for the Biden-Harris administration, and Kamala Harris has promised that it will become even more important if she is elected, as she wants to destroy the Senate filibuster process in order to impose her abortion regime on the entire nation.

This article was originally published by the WND News Center.
]]>The Institute for Justice reports the complaint against the county is on behalf of Jennifer Heath Box. She charges authorities violated her constitutional right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure, as well as due process.
The IJ explained the background:
In December 2022, Jennifer went on a cruise with family members to celebrate the news that her younger brother, Mark, had beat cancer for the second time. After a fun week aboard the Harmony of the Seas, the cruise ship returned to Port Everglades on the morning of Christmas Eve, giving Jennifer enough time to spend Christmas with her three adult children. But when Jennifer scanned her ID to get off the ship, police surrounded her and told her there was a warrant for her arrest for child endangerment out of Harris County, Texas.
The IJ reported the warrant did seek a woman named Jennifer, but it wasn’t this Jennifer. And she documented that her own children already all were adults.
“It was a really scary and confusing experience, because I’ve never had run-ins with law enforcement and I have no criminal record,” she explained. “I couldn’t believe that I could be stopped, arrested, and jailed, just because my name was similar to someone they were looking for.”
She knew the officers were wrong, so she cooperated calmly and provided police with her license and date of birth, as well as information about her children.
It didn’t matter to officers.
“Broward County Sheriff’s Deputy Peter Peraza handcuffed her on the ship and took her to a police car for additional questioning. In the car, Jennifer continued to lay out evidence that Peraza had the wrong person, but he insisted everything on the warrant matched Jennifer’s identification. It didn’t,” the IJ said.
For example, the suspect’s name was Jennifer Delcarmen Heath, not Jennifer Heath Box, the suspect was 23 years younger than Jennifer, making her even younger than one of Jennifer’s children, the suspect was five inches shorter than Jennifer, the suspect had different color eyes, hair, and skin tone and the suspect had a different home address, driver’s license number, social security number, and Harris County System Person Number.
Then, in what would seem to be important, the law enforcement search was for a woma with “five young children.”
“Peraza had so much evidence that he had the wrong Jennifer, and he either ignored that evidence or deliberately misled other Broward County officials,” said IJ Attorney Jared McClain. “We must be able to hold government officials accountable when they overlook glaring evidence and arrest the wrong person.”
When Peraza arrived at the booking station with the wrong woman, the officer there confirmed she had no outstanding warrants, but Peraza didn’t believe him.
“Jennifer was then strip searched and booked. Over the next three days, she faced horrible conditions. A male inmate routinely tried to enter Jennifer’s cell while she was alone, and officers blasted death metal over the speakers and freezing air into the cell, making it so cold that she had to sleep back-to-back with another inmate just to keep warm,” the IJ said.
Her husband, a police officer, told the county to compare her fingerprints, but officers refused.
Finally, family members found that a Harris County employee had damagingly attached Jennifer’s driver’s license photo to the warrant, instead of the suspect’s photo.
IJ litigation lawyer Bobbi Taylor said, “This lawsuit is about making sure what happened to Jennifer doesn’t happen to anyone else. This needs to stop.”
The “mistake” cost her three days in jail, the holidays with her children, and a meet-up with a son who was being deployed with the Marines.

]]>But now a new ideology has surfaced in the leftist city of Denver.
It’s that there apparently are too many gas stations at which consumers can refuel, so two city council members are working on a plan to correct that.
They want to ban any station from being developed within a quarter mile of another.
It is Complete Colorado that explained the ideology created by council members Paul Kashmann and Amanda Sawyer.
They “have decided that gas stations – apparently uniquely among Denver’s many retail businesses – are taking too much space away from other priorities such as housing. In response to this deadly threat to housing density, they are close to proposing a zoning change precluding new gas stations from being built inside a quarter-mile buffer zone around existing stations.”
The report noted it isn’t the first such attack on the city’s drivers, as the tax-funded Regional Transportation District complained during the COVID pandemic that parking lots should be replaced with housing.
It seems that there have been 10 new stations in the city in recent years, bringing that total to 180, not even a 6% increase.
The plan “doesn’t say if this is an actual trend, a recent spurt, or how many of those (if any) are replacing stations that have closed. The report claims 318 permanently closed retail gas stations in Denver, or 77% more than the total now operating.”
The report pointed out Sawyers’ complaints are “somewhat ironic, ” given that her own Council District 5 serves as gasoline desert, with only two stations not bordering other districts, “meaning that those low on gas already have longer drives to fill up.”
Councilman Kashmann says that the city is allowing gas stations that ‘people don’t want and we don’t need.’ Except that nobody appointed Paul Kashmann the arbiter of what businesses the city needs, and that apparently people do both want and need them, given that there are enough gas purchases – even before the desired increased density – to keep them all in business,” the report said.

]]>That was when the Biden family scandals were revealed during the 2020 election race in a computer Hunter Biden abandoned at a repair shop.
The FBI – falsely – told media corporations it was Russian disinformation and they should suppress it. Those intel bureaucrats said the same. And the CIA assisted.
And today, the DOJ has a long list of cases pending against President Donald Trump that have been assembled by Democrat politicians, some of whom actually campaigned for public office on the claims they would “get” Trump.
But Joe Biden’s attorney general, Merrick Garland, now has gone on the record stating DOJ employees “do not bend to politics” and they “will not break under pressure.”
Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland is currently trying to throw President Trump in prison while he says this:
“Our norms are a promise that we will not allow the is Department to be treated as a political weapon.”
He’s gaslighting America. pic.twitter.com/0o1Dy5rx6R
— Steve Cortes (@CortesSteve) September 12, 2024
It is legacy and leftist media cooperative Associated Press that reported that Garland “will denounce” “conspiracy theories” about the politicization of the federal bureaucracy during a speech this week.
That’s even after FBI agents were revealed to have been plotting together to stop Trump’s presidency during the 2016 campaign, when they exchanged emails about how that could happen.
That was when the bureaucrats used a long list of lies assembled by Trump’s political opponent to open DOJ investigations into his campaign. It’s when a special counsel ultimately determined there was no evidence of the “Russia collusion” claims perpetrated by the DOJ.
The report said, “Garland will use a speech to U.S. attorneys gathered in Washington and other Justice Department members to vigorously defend the department’s integrity and impartiality and to condemn what he describes as ‘outrageous’ attacks that put law enforcement in harm’s way.”
According to prepared remarks publicized by the government, he will say, “These attacks have come in the form of conspiracy theories, dangerous falsehoods, efforts to bully and intimidate career public servants by repeatedly and publicly singling them out, and threats of actual violence.”
The comments continue, “Through your continued work, you have made clear that the Justice Department will not be intimidated by these attacks. But it is dangerous — and outrageous — that you have to endure them.”
Garland repeatedly has been called on to defend the actual politicization of his department, as evidenced by cases, court filings and records.
In fact, his department appointed a “special counsel,” who failed to obtain Senate confirmation, to indict Trump over and over.
For instance, Trump was indicted in a government documents dispute that had largely similar circumstances to a documents dispute for which Joe Biden was given a pass.
Trump was accused of a criminal conspiracy for his comments about the 2020 election. A Democrat prosecutor in New York, who campaigned on targeting Trump, indicted him on 34 felonies for misdemeanor business records violations. And a Democrat lawyer in New York, who also campaigned on getting Trump, sued him for hundreds of millions of dollars for business practices that experts confirmed in court were standard practice.
The prosecutions not actually run by the DOJ reportedly have been influenced by that department, with lawyers visiting in Washington during the times they assembled their charges.
Garland’s comments followed by just days Trump’s latest criticism of the DOJ’s politicization.
“It’s called weaponization. Never happened in this country. They weaponized the Justice Department,” the GOP presidential candidate said during a Tuesday debate.
“Every one of those cases was started by them against their political opponent, and I’m winning most of them, and I will win the rest on appeal.”
Some counts, in fact, have been dismissed, others are already on appeal, and some remain mired in a Supreme Court ruling that presidents have immunity for some actions in the White House.
The DOJ also was caught trying to give a special, kid gloves-soft, deal to Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, over a variety of charges. The deal fell apart under questioning by a federal judge, and Hunter now has been convicted of gun charges and pleaded guilty to tax charges.
Social media commenters were harsh on Garland:
“Was there a laugh track behind him?”
“They always accuse us of what they are actually doing.”
“Extreme gaslighting.”
“Do they really think that the American public is that stupid?”
“Funny that he has to hold a press conference to try to convince us that the doj isn’t corrupt.”
Garland: "There is not one rule for friends and another for foes. One rule for the powerful and another for the powerless. One rule for the rich and another for the poor. One rule for Democrats and another for Republicans."

]]>That would be, according to that definition, a plan to take over the government, throw out the current leaders, assume control of the army, the policy, the foreign relations, debts, politics, courts, and more.
Of course, the protest-turned-riot was just that, a protest by those upset with the counted results of the presidential race, and the decision to give the White House to Joe Biden while there still remained many unanswered questions about the election.
In fact, there were two undue influences on the election, Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to hand out $400 million plus like candy to local election officials who often used it to recruit voters in Democrat districts, and the interference by the Department of Justice’s FBI, which falsely told publications that the Biden family scandals documented in Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop were Russian disinformation and should be suppressed.
That facts have not prevented Democrats, and Democrat compatriots like ex-Rep. Liz Cheney, from proclaiming it WAS an insurrection, and claiming insurrectionists, including President Trump, not only must be charged and convicted, they must be prevented from ever being in office again.
Now that message is being hand-delivered to school-age children in Pennsylvania.
It’s through a “graphic novel,” or comic book, that is being published and handed out.
A Morning Call report said the publication insists students consider: “What would have happened if the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection had been successful?”
The creators of the concept say they are mailing copies to all public high schools in the state as well as public libraries.
The report explained their goal is “to convey the risks facing American democracy, and what people can do about it.”
It’s authored by Harvard teacher Alan Jenkins and he said he wanted to make his opinions about that event available “in a widely accessible way.”
He has imagined, the report said, “a society controlled by armed militias who take over a TV network, declaring it to be ‘an enemy of freedom.’”
In fact, it is leftists across American academia, business and government who have tried to impose their own censorship schemes on America’s people and communications.
It also features a prominent Democrat lie that has been used against President Trump over and over, the claim he called KKK-type characters “very fine people,” when Trump specifically condemned that faction in his comments about a race dispute in Charlottesville.
A report at PJMedia explains the topic is one of the “inexhaustible supply of dead horses” Democrats have to beat.
“In the latest pathetic attempt to keep the J6 version of the ORANGE MAN BAD monster under their beds and scaring the base, the false J6 narrative has been reimagined in comic book form to help indoctrinate the high school kids,” the report said.
The report confirms, “There was no insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. … The series of graphic novels are chock-full of lies from the Democratic Trump Derangement Syndrome fever dream. The Charlottesville lie is there, of course, and Black Lives Matter operatives are the good guys. The authors have enlisted the help of a radical organization to make sure the potential youth voters properly understand their marching orders.”

]]>This time it’s for an award he claimed during a previous campaign that he got, but he didn’t.
The report comes from the Minnesota Sun, which explained “Walz’s pattern of misrepresenting his record continues to come under scrutiny as he steps onto the national stage as Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate.”
The latest controversy uncovered developed when Walz was running for the U.S. House back in 2006.
“His campaign website stated that he had received an award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce for his contributions to the business community,” the report said.
But not so, said Barry L. Kennedy, then president of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce.
In fact, in a letter to Walz, Kennedy confirmed, “We researched this matter and can confirm that you have not been the recipient of any award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce.”
A copy of that letter was obtained by Alpha News.
The letter pointedly explained, “I am not going to draw a conclusion about your intentions by including this line in your biography. However, we respectfully request that you remove any reference to our organization as it could be considered an endorsement of your candidacy. It should be pointed out, however, that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has endorsed your opponent, Congressman Gil Gutknecht, for his support of small business issues.”
Walz later had his website changed, to reference the “Nebraska Junior Chamber of Commerce,” and his campaign manager blamed the falsehood on a “typographical error.”
Other issues of truthfulness that Walz already has needed to address including his multiple claims to have retired from the Army National Guard with the rank Command Sergeant Major. While he was in that rank at his retirement, he had not completed the requirements to keep it in retirement, so was downgraded at that point.
He also is on video stating he handled assault weapons “in war,” during an anti-Second Amendment campaign.
“We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is [sic] the only place that those weapons are at,” he said, triggering charges of “stolen valor” since he was deployed to Italy as a lawyer at the time.
Further, the report said, “CNN recently acknowledged that Walz’s 2006 congressional campaign ‘falsely described’ important details regarding his September 1995 drunk driving arrest in Nebraska.”
CNN reported that the 2006 Walz campaign “repeatedly told the press that [Walz] had not been drinking that night, claiming that his failed field sobriety test was due to a misunderstanding related to hearing loss from his time in the National Guard. The campaign also claimed that Walz was allowed to drive himself to jail that night.’”
But, said CNN, “None of that was true.”
And, the report said, “Additionally, Walz has repeatedly implied he and his wife used IVF procedures in order to conceive their children,” which was not true.
