The Interview Was Not Good
Guy Benson / Townhall Tipsheet

Forty days after Democrats shoved their elected nominee out of the race, the replacement candidate finally gave an interview, alongside her running mate.  It was not an impressive showing.  I posted my overall thoughts on social media, starting with an assessment of CNN's Dana Bash: "Mixed marks for Bash, who pushed on some necessary subjects, but missed glaring follow-ups. I get she was pressed for time. The literal set-up was weird. The shots looked strange and not terribly well lit."  Harris, situated farthest from the camera, looked small, like she was seated in a low chair -- and appeared hunched.  I'm not sure how anyone on her team thought it looked good. That's a superficial observation, but television and the social media clips it produces are visual media.  As for the 'substance,' if you can call it that, and various other

Harris served up a few word-salady struggles, but not the sort of meandering mess we’ve seen before. We gleaned very little in terms of what she actually believes or would do... Read more, see XS and videos here.

Trump Takes the Lead While Harris Can't Answer a Simple Interview Question
Sarah Arnold / Townhall Tipsheet 

Former President Donald Trump is again taking the lead in the 2024 race for the White House. 

According to a new Polymarket poll, Trump holds a two-percent advantage over Vice President Kamala Harris (50 to 48 percent). The same survey also found that Trump’s chances of winning crucial swing states are much higher than Harris’s.

In Georgia and North Carolina, Trump has a 61 percent chance of winning the state compared to Harris’ 39 percent. In Arizona, the former president has a 55 percent chance of winning compared to the 45 percent chance for Harris. In Nevada, Trump’s chances are 53 percent, Harris’s chances are 47 percent, and in Pennsylvania, the Republican has a 51 percent shot at the gold versus Harris’ 49 percent. 

Trump is currently polling similarly to how he was in 2020. He is carrying 65 percent of the vote of whites without a college degree, 60 percent of the vote of rural voters, and 42 percent of rural...Read more, see Xs and videos here.

NJ residents hit with doubled bills as lawmakers fume at Murphy's ‘energy disaster plan,' demand hearings
Ripping offshore wind projects, state Sen Mike Testa quips, 'We're positive [nuclear] doesn't kill whales'
Charles Crietz / FOX News 

After a surge in home energy bills that left many New Jersey residents with costs that have doubled, or more, there have been widespread calls for hearings to hold the state utility commission, the governor and supporters of green energy accountable.

State Sen. Mike Testa, R-Salem, echoed those calls and said on Wednesday that much of the blame goes to Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy’s "Energy Master Plan," launched in 2020.

"New Jersey is already one of the most unaffordable states in the United States of America. Now people are being hit with energy bills that are essentially doubled. And look, I get it that it was a hot July, but it wasn't that hot that your energy bills should have doubled," Testa said.

One constituent apparently told Testa they raised their thermostat four degrees on average this summer in the hopes of saving money but that the cost still somehow increased "significantly."

Massachusetts GOP demands information on state's $1 billion in 'secret' migrant spending: 'Veil of secrecy'
Republicans allege state's Democrat supermajority has led to lack of transparency
Sarah  Rumpf-Whitten / FOX News
 
Massachusetts Republicans have submitted a formal request with the state's government for information on the alleged "$1 billion in secret migrant crisis spending" as the Bay State grapples with the migrant crisis.

In a release from the state's Republican Party, MassGOP, the group demanded that Gov. Maura Healey's administration provides a detailed cost breakdown of the toll that the migrant crisis has caused for the state's residents. 

"The Healey-Driscoll Administration has shrouded nearly $1 billion spent in secrecy, leaving Massachusetts residents in the dark," MassGOP chair Amy Carnevale said in a statement. "They have withheld critical information on 600 incidents involving police, fire and EMT. Blocking journalists at every turn, the administration has obstructed the flow of information to the public."

In a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, Carnevale demanded the specifics of the state's funding to provide housing for migrants.Read more, see letter, and video here: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/massachusetts-gop-demands-information-states-1-billion-secret-migrant-spending-veil-secrecy

NYT Op-Ed Shreds Dems' 'Joy' Strategy for 2024
Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet
The New York Times’ deputy opinion editor, Patrick Healy, has a mixed reaction to the 2024 race and Kamala Harris. On the one hand, he’s very open about Donald Trump not being able to exploit the July 13 assassination attempt and coming back to Earth on the final night of the Republican National Convention. That’s his opinion. Likewise, he’s also aware that Kamala can’t ride the ‘joy’ wave to victory. Like how Obama couldn’t win on ‘hope and change’ alone, Healy adds that Harris is going to have to venture out of her comfort zone to win: 

Joy” is the new “fetch” from “Mean Girls”: Democrats are bent on making the word happen. 

But joy is not a political strategy. And God is not a political strategy. The good news for Democrats is that Harris seems to understand this. Americans want her to lower their household costs and make it easier to find housing. Being our joyful Momala is not going to win the election.

Meta CEO admits Biden-Harris admin pressured company to censor Americans
Mark Zuckerberg: 'I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it'
Greg Wehner / FOX News 
 
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted in a letter on Monday that his company, Facebook, was pressured by the Biden-Harris administration to censor Americans, particularly regarding COVID-19 content.

Zuckerberg made the admission in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, more than a year after providing the committee with thousands of documents as part of its investigation into content moderation on online platforms.

Along with documents, the Meta CEO said, the company has provided a dozen employees to be available for transcribed interviews, stressing Meta’s cooperation with the investigation.

"There’s a lot of talk right now around how the U.S. government interacts with companies like Meta, and I want to be clear about our position," Zuckerberg wrote. "Our platforms are for everyone – we’re about promoting speech and helping people connect in a safe and secure way. As part of this, we regularly hear from governments around the world and others with various concerns around public discourse and public safety."

He told Jordan that in 2021, "senior officials" from the Biden administration and White House "repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire."

Op-ed:
The Anointed One's Disastrous Economic Plan, Part 1
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio
The Op-ed posted here is this authors opinion alone,and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google
 
...So how does Harris propose implementing this socialist inspired, free-for-all, economic nightmare, and would it actually succeed if she were to win in November? Remember, proposing something is one thing, but when actual economics and monetary numbers deem that something will fail, Harris' proposals become but another “word salad” hoped for vote garnering “promise everything, deliver nothing” operation...nothing except a possible “depression” not unlike that of 1929. Why so...because the monies she plans to layout in no way equates to the monies she claims her plan will save and/or bring in.


But now I will focus on what is the “top of the list” issue facing most voters today and it's no matter their political affiliation. And here I speak of the economy...especially the escalating cost of groceries. It's great that Harris says “we'll bring costs down,” but that cannot be accomplished when she does not understand...or worse...refuses to tell the real reason(s)...why grocery prices continue to rise. And know it's not “grocery store price gougers” nor has it ever been what she calls “corporate greed's” usual cast of characters as she and the far left Democrats so love to claim.

The Anointed One's Disastrous Economic Plan, Part 1
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio
The Op-ed posted here is this authors opinion alone,and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google

Let me start by saying that Joe Biden is one of the worst presidents our country has ever seen with the worst...in my opinion...being Barack HUSSEIN Obama for he and his what I call “hating America agenda” started our nation's ongoing downward spiral. And this encompasses his so wanted “fundamental transformation of America;” his ObamaCare disaster; his deliberate and divisive race-baiting actions; his pro-islamic/anti-Israel theatrics; and his having to dance on George Soros' puppet strings while Joe Biden and Kamala Harris happily dance on his strings.

So, for me, Joe Biden is the second worst president now pushing Jimmy Carter down to third place, but if Kamala Harris, via sure to come voter fraud, were to win in November, Joe would move down a notch to third place with Jimmy Carter moving into fourth place...actually a good thing for the soon to be centenarian...but a very bad thing for our beloved America.

But with Joe Biden having officially been thrown off November's ticket courtesy of back-stabbing Nancy Pelosi choosing to march in lockstep to Obama's orders; and with Obama's chosen VP failure that is his puppet Kamala Harris...the woman not duly nominated in what is democracy's primary process...having been “anointed” as the head of the Democrat party ticket; Obama's “fourth term in office” might just come to fruition. But if moderate Democrats, still stubborn “Never Trumpers,” and the remaining undecided, fence-sitting Independents, were to collectively accept the truth about how far our economy has fallen since “O'Biden” took office and how America herself has lost respect on the world stage, then the scenario we fear most could instead, with Trump as president, become a true shift back to the much needed “right.”

And do know it will only get worse on the economic front when the one who could win the presidency...read “steal” here...has not only adopted but a “word salad,” slightly revised, version of what were her, and her boss', failed economic policies, but has actually tweaked said policies to make them even worse than they were before. Simply changing the moniker “Bidenomics” to “Kamalanomics” is like putting lipstick on the proverbial pig...pretty sounding words to some but words devoid of logic, common sense, tangible realities, let alone one that spells success. But success is not what the Democrats wants for America, at least not as long as Obama continues to dictate policy while pulling the Democrat hierarchy's strings.

So what exactly is in Kamala Harris' economic plan that should raise the ire of every American voter...how about that what she proposes is not unlike a veiled mirrored image of socialism inching its way towards communism. How so...because when one's economic plan is based solely upon stimulating the economy via the spending of trillions of taxpayer dollars on already proven unsound economic policies the result will, in a short period of time, not just see inflation numbers rising, but a return to high interest rates as well. And why...because as the public's demand for “fair priced” goods and services increases due to campaign promises made, the plan Harris proposes is but an “unnatural” spending spree that does not allow for sustainability nor for economic obligations to be met, let alone for said campaign promises to be kept. And we dare not overlook the fact that according to the nonpartisan “Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget” (CRFB) this farce of an economic plan would add $1.7 trillion dollars to our already escalating national debt.

And know that when Kamala Harris promises that the economy will be prioritized within the first 100 days of her taking office, she's just spewing words out of both sides of her Obama controlled mouth. Why so...because if Harris is so sure that her economic polices will succeed once she's president let her start initiating said policies now as vice president...why force folks economically hurting to wait almost five months more for some monetary relief. Simply, Kamala Harris has no sound nor monetarily workable ideas on how to fix the economy, she's just spewing out what is the aforementioned, albeit repackaged, failure that is “Bidenomics” with fingers crossed in the hope that no one notices.

So what exactly is Kamala Harris' economic plan in simple terms? Here are but some key highlights. If elected president, Harris says she will cut individual taxes while raising Trump's 21% corporate tax rate to 28% (a number actually proven to be a U.S. “jobs killer”); bring inflation down; increase by three million units affordable housing construction; give $25K to first time home buyers to use towards a down payment (an obvious attempt to buy votes); increase an already overinflated minimum wage; place a federal ban on what she calls “grocery price gouging;” and will increase the “Child Tax Credit” (CTC) to provide a $6,000 tax cut for middle and low income families with newborn children for one year...odd indeed for the woman who champions no-holds-barred abortion...while at the same time expanding CTC by asking for a $3,600 per child tax credit for some but not all families, selective DEI I guess. And to add insult to injury, Harris proposes expanding the “Earned Income Tax Credit” to cover only those with lower-income jobs who aren’t raising children...typical Democrat who wants to screw the middle class yet again.

And dare we not forget that Kamala Harris actually “stole” Donald Trump's “No Tax on Tips” proposal for hospitality and service workers, and then tried to pass it off as her own. And this is never mind the “documented fact” that Trump proposed this plan many months ago back when Joe Biden was still the presumed, not the Obama/Pelosi anointed, Democrat presidential nominee.

So how does Harris propose implementing this socialist inspired, free-for-all, economic nightmare, and would it actually succeed if she were to win in November? Remember, proposing something is one thing, but when actual economics and monetary numbers deem that something will fail, Harris' proposals become but another “word salad” hoped for vote garnering “promise everything, deliver nothing” operation...nothing except a possible “depression” not unlike that of 1929. Why so...because the monies she plans to layout in no way equates to the monies she claims her plan will save and/or bring in.

But now I will focus on what is the “top of the list” issue facing most voters today and it's no matter their political affiliation. And here I speak of the economy...especially the escalating cost of groceries. It's great that Harris says “we'll bring costs down,” but that cannot be accomplished when she does not understand...or worse...refuses to tell the real reason(s)...why grocery prices continue to rise. And know it's not “grocery store price gougers” nor has it ever been what she calls “corporate greed's” usual cast of characters as she and the far left Democrats so love to claim.

Briefly, here are but three key facts pertaining to why, on the surface, there is a rise in grocery prices. Fact 1: while grocery prices overall have risen as per the “Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers” (CPIAUCS) 19 percent in the last three years (the Biden/Harris years), the increases have incurred due to higher manufacturing costs, overhead costs, and ridiculous minimum wage regulations, but not to supermarket “price gouging.” 

Fact 2: a number of recent so-called economic “shocks” (droughts, hurricanes, insect-borne diseases, for example) have reduced the actual physical supply of products delivered to the grocery stores which in turn naturally drives up the price of the items that are being delivered. Fact 3: the actual cost of product delivery due to escalating gas prices, ridiculous “green” energy regulations and mandates, also affects the number of products being delivered for the more products delivered means more delivery runs for the truckers who are some of the hardest hit by the price at the pump...the very thing I see as the main cause for the sum of our economic woes.

Remember, when gasoline prices are low...as they were when Trump was in office...it usually means our economy is doing well, which it then was. However, when gas prices started rising to levels now almost triple to that of four years ago our economy, as a whole, started to do poorly because one's individual pocketbook saw more dollars earned having to be spent for gas then for much needed consumer goods including groceries.

In fact, all I just mentioned are but adjuncts to what I see as the truth as to who the real culprits are, as in the Biden/Harris administration itself being the actual “price gougers” that are guilty of “corporate greed,” for I believe the unnamed corporation in question is really the federal government itself. How so...once Biden and Harris took office, almost immediately the price at the pump started rising while at the same time they placed a ban on fracking, put an almost complete halt to oil drilling, shut down the Keystone Pipeline, and started funneling massive amounts of monies...our taxpayer dollars included... into nonsensical “green energy” initiatives and policies which have proven to be money makers only for those in power. And what was our “energy independence”...thanks to President Trump ...is now being damned, and with it the fact that energy independence is, in and of itself, the prime driver of keeping not only across the board consumer prices in check, but seeing that the economy itself grows as well.

Simply, Harris' plan to put rules in place to ensure that what she refers to as still unnamed corporations...again I say that the federal government itself is the “corporation” in question...“can’t unfairly exploit consumers to run up excessive profits on food and groceries,” while at the same time wanting to give “new authority” to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and state attorneys general “to investigate and impose strict new penalties on companies (as in supermarkets) that break the rules”...her and surely Obama's string pulled rules that is.

Basically what this is, is a ploy to allow the anything but supermarket “price gougers” to be the “divert and deflect” recipient...the fall guys if you will...of what in reality will become a policy not unlike socialism-style food rationing, price setting, and purchase allotment courtesy of the “ranking in the profits” federal government.

Talk about a big part of Barack Obama's socialist based “fundamental transformation of America” starting to come to fruition, and it would come courtesy of Harris' now truth veiled economic policies. Simply, spew enough lies about the source of a problem, hit the masses hard in their pocketbooks, and keep their gas tanks and bellies almost on empty, and submission and control is so easily gained with freedom itself getting thrown by the wayside.

And so the once Democrat hierarchy deemed “albatross” around the neck of the then Biden campaign has morphed, courtesy of the media, into running what's now being called a “joy-filled campaign.” But the truth about the giggling hyena that is Kamala Harris needs to be exposed for what both she and her economic plan are is sellouts to the corporate greed that is the federal government...and it's deliberately being done at the expense of “We the American People.” Remember “absolute power corrupts absolutely,” and the goal that is the Obama manipulated Harris/Walz ticket is to turn our beloved republic into a Venezuela/Cuban socialist style dictatorship via Obama's “fourth term” in office.

In an upcoming article I will cover the truth, as I see it, regarding other key parts of Harris'  economic plan for this plan's truth must be told. But for now, case closed.
