He fights.   . . ."This says a lot about where the Democrat Party is.

Joe Biden Throws Kamala Harris Under the Bus, Says She is Also Responsible for Current Dumpster Fire Economy as She Desperately Tries to Distance Herself From His Polices!   . . ."The Harris campaign is desperately trying to distance themselves from Biden’s policies.

"Kamala Harris doesn’t have any policies are her campaign website because her policies have destroyed the country over the last 3.5 years.

"Social media users reacted to the vice president’s remark with the hashtag #CopyCatKamala, pointing out that Trump had been campaigning on eliminating taxes on tips for months.

"To make matters worse, Harris voted in 2022 to pass legislation to allow the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to track down workers’ tips so that they could be taxed." . . .

Kamala Harris Campaign Caught Red-Handed Faking Press Headlines to Spread Disinformation

RedState

There is no doubt in my mind that this would be a major scandal if the Trump campaign were involved. Could you imagine the screams of "disinformation" and threatened lawsuits from press organizations? 

"The Kamala Harris campaign has been editing press headlines and putting the fake versions in ads as a way to spread disinformation. That's according to a new report that found multiple instances of Google ads being manipulated without the consent of the various news organizations linked to the false headlines."

The Harris campaign has been editing news headlines and descriptions within Google search ads that make it appear as if the Guardian, Reuters, CBS News and other major publishers are on her side, Axios has found. 

Why it matters: It's a common practice in the commercial advertising world that doesn't violate Google's policies, but the ads mimic real news results from Search closely enough that they have news outlets caught off guard. 

• According to Google's ad transparency center, the Trump campaign isn't running these types of ads, but this technique has been used by campaigns before.
• The ads say that they are sponsored, but it's not immediately clear that the text that accompanies real news links is written by the campaigns and not by the media publication itself.

"In true Axios fashion, the outlet tries to downplay what's occurring, calling it a "common practice in commercial advertising." I'm skeptical that's true. While it may be more common in a non-political context, I've never seen this happen in the political world. That's not to say that some ads haven't taken headlines out of context, but to actually change them and then stick them on Google as if they were real seems like a bridge too far. Yes, there's the "Sponsored" tag attached, but that doesn't immediately indicate to the average user they are fake." . . . 

Walz's ties to anti-Jewish people

Gabe Kaminsky and Ben Shapiro detail report on Tim Walz’s ties to Hitler-promoting cleric  

Tim Walz Under Siege: Kamala’s ‘Cowardly’ VP Pick ‘Repeatedly’ Hosted Muslim Cleric Who Celebrated Oct. 7 Massacre — as His ‘Stolen Valor’ Scandal Deepens (msn.com)   "Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz is facing massive backlash for hosting a Muslim cleric who celebrated Hamas‘s October 7 attack on Israel last year and abandoning his National Guard unit before they were deployed to Iraq.

"Knewz.com has learned that in May 2023, Asad Zaman, head of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, joined other Muslim leaders for a meeting about mosque security with Walz’s office in Minnesota.

. . ."In the last few years, Imam Asad Zaman has used his Facebook page to share official Hamas press releases, blog posts from antisemitic sites, and a 2015 link to a pro-Hitler film, “The Greatest Story Never Told.”

"According to the Anti-Defamation League, the neo-Nazi propaganda film is infamous for being antisemitic and popular among fringe anti-jewish groups." . . .

Zaman met with Walz’s gubernatorial office as recently as May 2023. Zaman, who is the executive director at the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, has a history of sharing his Facebook page to share Hamas press releases, anti-Semitic blogs, and a link to a piece on a website for a  2013 pro-Hitler film, the Washington Examiner reported." . . .

UPDATE:VIDEO: Tim Walz Described Pro-Hitler Muslim Cleric as a ‘Master Teacher’ in 2018   "The Washington Examiner‘s Gabe Kaminsky unearthed a video of presumptive Democratic VP candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz praising Imam Asad Zaman at an Islamic center event.

"Zaman is the director of Minnesota’s Muslim American Society, which has received “over $100,000 in funding” under Walz.

"Zaman celebrated when Hamas invaded Israel, slaughtered thousands, and kidnapped hundreds. He has promoted a movie that glorifies Adolf Hitler, shared Hamas propaganda, and cited antisemitic websites.

"Kaminsky wrote:

“I would like to first of all say thank you to imam,” Walz said at the unearthed 2018 event, which was hosted by Minnesota’s Muslim American Society on Feb. 16, 2018, at the South Metro Islamic Center in Rosemount, Minnesota.

For Fox News Congressional Correspondent Aishah Hasnie, Afghanistan Crisis Hits Close to Home

"She received her B.A. in Broadcast Journalism from Indiana University where she was a Dick Yoakam Broadcast Journalism Scholar. That gift inspired her to give back in 2010 by awarding a scholarship to a journalism student at IU. She currently mentors several working journalists." Aishah Hasnie | Fox 59

 "Aishah Hasnie is still unpacking boxes in her new Washington apartment after starting her new role as Fox News congressional correspondent about a week ago. However, she’s not your typical correspondent covering Capitol Hill. The Pakistani-American who grew up in Southern Indiana went on Fox last week, and informed her on-air colleagues and viewers that three of her friends have family members who are struggling mightily in Afghanistan right now, and how time is not on their side.

“ 'I have three good friends, each of their families are in hiding right now, essentially as they put it, ‘waiting on their death sentence,'” Hasnie said last Thursday on America Reports.

"Hasnie updated TVNewser on the status of these relatives, and what they’re experiencing on the ground. She also spoke about her own journey from local news in Illinois and Indiana to one of the most visible on-air jobs in Fox’s news division. She grew up a Muslim in a predominately white Indiana town, described how her upbringing and faith inform her life off-air, and whether it has posed any challenges as she moves up the professional ladder.

“ 'I am a deeply faithful person. I’m Muslim, and I pray five times a day,” Hasnie told TVNewser. “My prayers are often around: ‘God, what do you want me to do with this role?’ ‘What am I supposed to do?’ ‘How am I supposed to help people?'” . . .

MSNBC, Jemele Hill, Brian Stelter Silent on Joy Reid's Racist Rant Calling White Sen. 'Mayonnaise Sandwich'

OutKick   "MSNBC is the self-appointed police force for racist comments in American society. Not a day goes by when at least one of the pundits at the network does not label someone a "racist" – even if they are not actually a racist.

"Yet, last week, one of MSNBC's own went on another overtly racist rant against white people. Primetime host Joy Reid thanked Kamala Harris for not picking Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly as her running mate because, unlike Tim Walz, Kelly is "super white."

"Err, not just "super white. 

"According to Reid, Sen. Kelly is "like a mayonnaise sandwich on Wonder bread white."

Joy Reid refers to Sen Mark Kelly as a “mayonnaise sandwich” because he’s White.

"OutKick asked MSNBC for comment. The network did not respond. MSNBC does not respond to inquiries regarding Reid's bigotry. We've tried before.

The 'Race Lady'

"Translation: a network that proclaims zero tolerance for racism, refuses to condemn one of its leading hosts for spewing racism for profit.

"It's not just MSNBC that's silent. 

"Where are media critics Brian Stelter and Oliver Darcy? The two of them have long stalked conservative pundits to take their comments out of context, to frame them as racists. Somehow, Stelter and Darcy have nothing to say about Reid's racist rant.

"Nor does Media Matter for America, a George Soros-funded media organization of radical smear merchants. 

"Where is fellow race lady Jemele Hill, who is always on the prowl to call someone racist? 

"Hill defended MSNBC last month, claiming the network is neither radical nor left-wing. Since, her galpal Reid accused Trump of faking his assassination attempt, likened GOP voters to Nazis, and called white people "mayonnaise."

"For those who don't speak anti-white, "mayonnaise" is a derogatory term the anti-white brigade uses to refer to white people they do not like – like our pal Bishop Talbert Swan. " . . .

Trump on X Taps Into a Voting Bloc That Legacy Media Doesn't Even Know Exists

"And how is she so sure that it gains nothing with undecided and swing voters? The people who tend to make up this demo do not respond to debates, and the media noise gives them a headache.

California Sheriff Slams Kamala Harris Over 'Misleading' Ad (msn.com)  "California sheriff issued a scorching attack on Vice President Kamala Harris after his image was featured in a new political ad in which she touts border security.

"Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux described the ad from the Harris campaign, which shows him and other law enforcement officials standing behind Harris during a press conference, as "deceiving" during an appearance on Fox News on Tuesday.

" 'I can tell you that here in California, we're ready for someone that's going to support law enforcement. Kamala Harris and law enforcement in California—we're very familiar with her and how she has done over the course of years as a senator and as a prosecutor and as the attorney general. And I can tell you that this ad is deceiving, to say the least," Boudreaux said.

" 'I remember this particular case where we did a drug cartel or a drug trafficking organization where we worked with the DEA. And in this particular case, she showed up, she didn't shake anyone's hands, and she was, she quickly left the briefing room," he continued. "So for me in law enforcement to see my face and image along with my law enforcement counterparts being represented as standing alongside Kamala Harris was truly disheartening. We do not support Kamala Harris." . . .

‘Astonishing’: Douglas Murray blasts Kamala Harris for ‘lecturing’ Israeli PM about war  "Author Douglas Murray has blasted Vice President Kamala Harris for “lecturing” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the war in Gaza.

Bret Baier Decimates Dan Goldman's Defense of Kamala Harris - the Look on His Face Is Priceless

"I have to hand it to former President Donald Trump. He certainly is fearless when it comes to going anywhere to get his message out there. He's shown he'll go into hostile media territory; he's shown he'll go into deep blue areas to reach out to Americans. He did a press conference last week where he took all kinds of questions. He did an X Spaces conversation with X CEO Elon Musk on Monday night. The Spaces tweet had millions of impressions, and they had over a million people in the Spaces event — that's even with X suffering a DDOS attack over the interview. But the point is Trump is willing to put himself out there. 

"Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is not. She has been ducking normal questions and won't even do friendly interviews. And she's refused to accept debate dates that Trump has agreed to, while falsely trying to accuse him of ducking them." . .  .

Either way, he looked pretty darn foolish, either truly ignorant or lying his head off. But at this point, Democrats don't seem to care about the truth. They're just saying anything they can to try to help Harris, regardless of whether it's true or not.

And neither will I

Sen. Harris' interrogation of Judge Kavanaugh was another stunt with no payoff – HotAir

. . ."First off, this absolutely was a trick question. The non-trick version of this question would be something like: ‘I’ve heard you spoke to person X about Muller’s investigation, is that true?’ All Harris had to do was offer up the name and this would have been much simpler. But she refused to do that. And because it was designed as a gotcha question, Kavanaugh treated it that way. But ultimately there was no gotcha.

"This whole thing reminds me of Sen. Harry Reid’s claim during the 2012 campaign, that Mitt Romney hadn’t paid taxes for a decade. That had (allegedly) come to Reid from someone in a position to know. Reid later said he had no regrets about spreading this lie because it worked, i.e. Romney lost the election. Someone should ask Sen. Harris if she’s trying to follow in Reid’s footsteps."

Originally Answered: Are allegations against Brett Kavanaugh false without any iota of doubt?

I've noticed a trend: whenever someone that the Left doesn't like is getting elected, appointed, or time with the wrong message, we are suddenly bombarded with accusations and testimonies of bad character.

Her intimidating look

Every. Single. Time.

Maybe it's true that every non- favored person is guilty of being a terrible person, but it seems more likely to me that these accusations are invented. It also seems more likely that both sides are full of bad actors and the side crying ‘Wolf!’ are just better at cover-ups.

When every single opponent is suddenly and clearly unfit, even ones previously lauded (everybody loved Joe Biden as VP, but now that he wants to fill the big chair, he's a racist monster?), you start thinking that maybe the problem is in the DNC, not the candidates that they oppose. Remember, they railroaded Hillary through the primaries last time at the expense of Sanders. There is precious little room for democracy in the Democratic party.

Is Kamala Harris trying to sabotage her own campaign with her Kavanaugh impeachment narrative?

"I doubt she is intentionally sabotaging it, but you would think a prosecutor should be familiar with the law, and she certainly knows that impeachment of a SCJ ONLY applies to crimes that are committed while ON the bench (nor in HS or college). To date I have not heard of any offenses let alone any that rise to the level of impeachment.

"She should also know that investigation MUST proceed impeachment and in THIS country you are innocent until PROVEN guilty. Calling for impeachment flies in the face of this basic judicial tenant and has to be considered a willful act on the part of the educated prosecutor to ignore the law.

"I believe this is most likely her personal bias and her belief that she can do whatever she wants despite the law. Any time a prosecutor is this ignorant of the law, it disqualifies them in my mind as a presidential candidate. (or even as a local official)" . . .

Can Harris Beat Trump With Such Weak Voter Support For Her Signature Policies?

I&I/TIPP Poll My personal suggestion is that she do what Donald Trump is doing. Oh! Wait! She has tried that! TD

"The rest, from “Medicare for all” to “health insurance for illegal aliens,” get either a tepid response from voters, or outright rejection. It would seem to be a tough road for the Harris-Walz team to travel with the policies both have supported."

Toon added by TD

"While presidential candidate Kamala Harris avoids media questions about her proposed policies, both she and her progressive allies in the Democratic Party are already on record as favoring a number of highly controversial proposals, ranging from defunding the police to free college education. But do average Americans agree? The latest I&I/TIPP Poll provides answers.

"The national online poll of 1,488 adults, taken from July 31-August 2, shows it’s a mixed bag. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.7 percentage points.

"It starts with a neutral question: “To what extent do you support or oppose the following actions?” That’s followed by 11 policy actions, for which respondents were given five possible responses: “Support strongly,” “support somewhat,” “oppose strongly,” “oppose somewhat,” and “not sure.” The answers were then aggregated to show simplified categories of “support” or “oppose.”

"To avoid political bias, no party or candidate was mentioned in the question.

"But the policies mentioned were not random. In fact, they represent a range of policy actions that Vice President Harris has either openly backed, proposed or expressed positive views on in recent years.

"So the list represents a sounding of public opinion on Harris’ policy preferences before she became the Democratic Party’s candidate on Aug. 6, following a five-day “virtual” roll call vote of 4,567 Democratic delegates but no actual votes from Democratic voters. After that, she began hedging some of her previous policy stances.

"By the way, that Aug. 6 party vote installing Harris as the candidate followed President Joe Biden’s agonizing July 21 decision to end his own campaign in response to intense pressure from Democratic officials, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, along with big-dollar financial supporters of his own party." . . .

Trump Vs. "I'm Speaking" Harris, whose grating laugh is now considered to be "joy"

"One block, however, Harris has just stolen from Trump: making tips tax-exempt. Could this be a “tell”… revealing a hint of desperation?" Mark C. Ross

". . .the vacuous, inarticulate Kamala Harris?

Trump vs. Harris = Familiar vs. Strange  . . ."Now to Trump. First, he was a well-known media and business personality. Then he served a term as president of the United States. It is common knowledge that he doesn’t possess the reserved verbal carefulness of a professional politician. His opponents try to take advantage of this by portraying him as something he isn’t, such as when he used the term “bloodbath” to describe what Democrats’ New Green Deal would do to the American automobile industry. They tried to extend that to anything and everything in general… which only worked on the knee jerkers. Salena Zito aptly described Trump as someone who should not be taken literally -- but should certainly be taken seriously. This requires a bit of the mental effort that distinguishes Trump supporters from his opponents. He has also acquired several years of political experience since his famous descent down the escalator… which, to some degree, has led to improved discipline. 

"Meanwhile, Harris is being kept under wraps. She has agreed to at least one debate against Trump… which was politically fatal for Biden. The debate being about a month away, the suppression of her overt candidacy allows the voters to fill in the many blanks about who she really is -- and Trump and his allies are doing what they can to supply the necessary building blocks for this task." . . .

"Their media friends agree with this nonsense. But the pushback isn’t subsiding. Other than the implosion of the Democrat party, the collapse of media credibility is also a likely consequence of this folly. Left nakedly exposed is the reality that all the totalitarians can muster against Trump and his allies are personality foibles -- rather than agenda issues. Why? Because their agenda sucks."
