In July former president Donald trump was shot in the ear while giving a campaign speech in Pennsylvania. Users attempting to access this event on Google had trouble. The site routed them away from the event and toward the 1950 attempted assassination of President Harry Truman by Puerto Rican gunmen. This week, the Harris/Walz campaign used the Google site to post phony news headlines falsely attributed to Reuters, CBS News, CNN, NPR and AP. The bogus headlines included: "Harris Will Lower Health Costs," "Harris' Vision: Lower Costs And Higher Wages," and "Inflation Is Down." Mark Isakowitz, Google Vice President of...

A maniac seized a 1010 WINS journalist by the hair and body-slammed her to the ground in a random senseless act outside her Manhattan office, according to police sources and the victim.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) defended Vice President Harris’s newly unveiled economic agenda, saying it will help ensure the economy is working properly. “I do because I’ve been an attorney general, just like the Vice President, I pursued price gouging statutes and their violations when it comes to the price of gas in Kentucky, and we won and ultimately returned millions of dollars to our people. This isn’t about trying to price fix. It’s just making sure that the economy is operating the way it should, that this is really supply and demand, which we all respect,” he said on...

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has arrived in Israel in his latest effort to push for a ceasefire and hostage-release deal in Gaza. His ninth trip to the region since the war began in October comes days after the US presented a modified proposal aimed at bridging long-standing gaps between the two sides. The US and Israel have expressed optimism about a deal since talks resumed in Doha last week, but Hamas says suggestions of progress are an "illusion". Differences are said to include whether Israeli troops will be required to withdraw fully from the Gaza Strip, as Hamas...

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are effectively dead even where it counts — the battleground states, according to a new poll. Mirroring the polling group’s findings from a separate survey released earlier this month, both presidential contenders scored 50% apiece in the battleground states, per a CBS News/YouGov survey released Sunday. Harris, 59, came away with the lead in a national head-to-head matchup between the pair 51% to 48%, which marks an uptick from her prior 50% to 49% edge over him in the prior survey. Strikingly, 36% of voters felt that they don’t know what...

California’s 2014 ban on thin plastic grocery bags caused more plastic bag waste, not less, according to the Wall Street Journal. Breitbart News covered the fight over the plastic bag ban — the first by any state in the nation — in 2014, noting that the ban was a regressive tax on consumers that would benefit large grocery chains, who could charge ten cents per bag for heavier, government-approved plastic bags that were, in theory, more reusable than the thinner ones.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ first major policy plan took on the top issue in the presidential campaign — the economy and high prices — with sweeping proposals for expanded government intervention and more federal spending. She vowed to lower prices at the grocery store with price controls and open up the increasingly out-of-reach housing market with tax subsidies for home buyers. “Believe me, as president, I will go after the bad actors,” Ms. Harris said in a speech Friday in North Carolina. “I will work to pass the first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food. My plan will include...

CHICAGO — Tens of thousands of protesters are expected to march outside the Democratic National Convention in the Windy City in opposition to the Biden-Harris administration’s support for Israel — threatening to tarnish Vice President Kamala Harris’ weeklong presidential nomination fest. A coalition of mostly left-wing and Arab- and Muslim-American groups are planning two protest marches — the first and largest on Monday at noon ahead of retiring President Biden’s evening appearance and again on Thursday at 5 p.m. ahead of Harris’ acceptance speech. “The Democratic Party is the target and not Joe Biden as an individual or Kamala Harris...

Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that people were “reading too much” into the specifics of the price-gouging plan from Vice President Harris. Whitmer said, “Well, I think people are reading too much into what has been put out there. We know that Kamala Harris is going to be focused on building up more affordable housing. We know that Kamala Harris has already delivered on making sure that healthcare is more accessible and affordable for Americans and will protect Obamacare.”

“Many of the same politicians who now publicly embrace Trump privately dread him,” Nikki Haley said in February. “They know what a disaster he’s been and will continue to be for our party. They’re just too afraid to say it out loud. Well, I’m not afraid to say the hard truth out loud. I feel no need to kiss the ring.” Yet there Haley was at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, kissing the ring. “President Trump asked me to speak to this convention in the name of unity,” she said. “I’ll start by making one thing perfectly clear: Donald...

Governor JB Pritzker (D-IL) said Sunday on CNN’a “State of the Union” that Vice President Kamala Harris has “energized” the Democratic Party the way former President Barack Obama did in 2008. Host Jake Tapper said, “How will this convention be different with Vice President Harris as the nominee, then President Biden.” Pritzker said, “Well, remember, first of all, you were talking about reelection nomination, renomination, and now you’re talking about something completely different, right?
