Kamala Devi Harris was born to an Indian mother and a Jamaican father in Oakland, California on October 20, 1964. She is, in part, a descendant of a Jamaican slave owner, as Harris’ father, Donald J. Harris, explained in a January 2019 essay which he wrote about his family’s heritage. Both sides of Harris’ family were upper-class political figures in their respective countries, with money and power. Harris’ father was a professor of economics at Stanford University who served as an adviser to multiple Jamaican prime ministers. Both of Harris’ parents were far leftists who, in the early 1960s, were...

Donald Trump appears to have figured out that the next step in AI has to be treated as what it is, i.e. a 2024 version of the Manhatten Project.As I read it, we have Bill Gates and Sam Altman out there in the world trying to round up something like 9 TRILLION dollars for the next version of OpenAI..... I do not believe that is merely to produce an AI system that is sentient; I believe that OpenAI 4 whichis out there now is sufficiiiently sentient for any normal or reasonable purpose. I believe they are looking at recreating a...

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday at his resort in Palm Beach, Florida. Netanyahu is in Washington and due to address the U.S. Congress on Wednesday and meet with President Joe Biden at the White House on Thursday. "Looking forward to welcoming Bibi Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida," Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Tuesday.

House Republicans are raising concerns about the potential for more political violence, in this case against Supreme Court justices, following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., point to the “recent incendiary rhetoric directed towards other federal officials, including in particular the men and women serving on our nation’s highest court.” Far-left activist groups and lawmakers have repeatedly threatened to restructure the court if the justices do not rule the way that these groups desire. And Justice Samuel Alito himself has said that the May 2022...

If I wanted to destroy the black community, I would become a democrat. I would feminize black men. I would promote transgenderism & sterilization. I would sponsor crime bills - knowing they would disproportionately impact the black community — to take black fathers away from their children. I would put abortion clinics in the black community & follow in the footsteps of Margaret Sanger. I would push for complete government dependency & make everyone a slave to the system. I would raise taxes to turn black homeowners into renters. I would not clean the streets. I would allow crime to...

On Sunday, President Joe Biden made history when he dropped out of the race via a post on X (Twitter) just 107 days before the 2024 Election. In a follow-up post 30 minutes later, he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place. “Joe Biden has been the worst President in my lifetime and Kamala Harris has been right there with him every step of the way,” tweeted Trump vice-presidential hopeful Sen. J.D. Vance, R-OH. Joe Biden has been the worst President in my lifetime and Kamala Harris has been right there with him every step of the way....

The leftist Occupy Democrats group shared reminders on Tuesday for people worried about Vice President Kamala Harris running against former President Donald Trump and losing. “Important reminders!” the group’s Facebook post read. “Also for all those who still have PTSD about Hillary losing in 2016 and worry for same fate for Kamala, we are in such different times,” the post read: 1. Hillary won the national popular vote. 2. The threat of Trump, the Supreme Court, and the Republican Party is much more apparent. 3. Democratic Party is way more unified today than it was in 2016. 4. Trump has...

President Biden on Tuesday made his first public appearance since dropping out of the 2024 presidential race, arriving at Dover Air Force Base ahead of a planned return to the White House. Biden, 81, saluted and smiled as he got out of his motorcade and walked slowly toward Air Force One while reporters shouted questions at him asking how he felt. “Well,’’ the president responded twice. He then lumbered toward the jet and held onto its railing as he slowly climbed up the steps, holding a blue COVID mask in his left hand.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race because “our democracy is at stake.” Jean-Pierre said, “What we saw from this president in the last couple days was a human decency, a good man, someone who decided not to put himself first –like we’ve seen before — but to put the American people first and this country first.” She continued, “I would also say folks who have not seen the letter that he penned on Sunday and shared and released, you should. I think the letter,...

Launching from extreme distance turned a dangerous mission into a near suicide mission

Vice President Kamala Harris opened up a marginal two-percentage-point lead over Republican Donald Trump after President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign and passed the torch to her, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found. The poll, conducted on Monday and Tuesday, followed both the Republican National Convention where Trump on Thursday formally accepted his party's nomination and the Biden announcement on Sunday he was leaving the race and endorsing Harris. Harris, whose campaign says she has secured the Democratic nomination, led Trump 44% to 42% in the national poll, a difference within the 3-percentage-point margin of error. Harris and Trump were tied...

In a gross violation of journalistic ethics, a CNN journalist gave the Biden administration a sneak peek of her article looking for the government stamp of approval before publishing. The Functional Government Initiative (FGI) obtained documents shared exclusively with MRC Business showing that CNN congressional reporter Clare Foran all but asked the Department of Energy to greenlight her story going after Republican politicians for pushing to prohibit DOE Secretary Jennifer Granholm from implementing any rule that would “limit consumer access to gas kitchen ranges and ovens.” The emails uncovered by FGI — dated March 30, 2023 — don’t denote a...

In the days since Judge Aileen Cannon issued her inexplicable 93-page dismissal of the classified-documents case against Donald Trump, I’ve been coming back to something JD Vance said on a podcast in 2021.Mr. Vance, the Ohio senator and now Mr. Trump’s running mate, predicted on the podcast that the former president, who had been recently disgraced by his insurrectionary attempt to overturn the 2020 election, would nevertheless run again in 2024. Should Mr. Trump win, Mr. Vance said, he had some advice: “Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people.” And...

Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) plans to resign effective Aug. 20, according to two people briefed on the decision, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The longtime Democratic lawmaker was convicted on July 16 of taking bribes from three businessmen who showered him and his wife with cash, gold bars and a Mercedes-Benz, an extravagant bounty for his help securing deals with foreign officials and trying to derail several criminal investigations in New Jersey.

The Morning Joe crew this morning was giddy with enthusiasm and excitement over Kamala Harris. Their delirium was epitomized by Eugene Robinson, the Washington Post columnist and MSNBC analyst, who said the feeling among his fellow Democrats is that: "This is not only a winnable race, but that they can really slam Donald Trump in this election coming up." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

The would-be assassin who opened fire at Donald J. Trump’s campaign rally in Butler, Pa., on July 13 was able to get a clear shot at the former president, as countersniper teams nearby failed to see him in time to thwart the shooting.The New York Times used drone photography to build a 3-D model and recreate the lines of sight for both the gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, and three teams of countersnipers — two federal and one local. The analysis shows that Mr. Crooks, 20, who appears to have flown a drone to survey the site the morning of the...

Black Lives Matter (BLM) urged the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to organize a nationwide virtual primary on Tuesday after Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly secured enough delegates for the Democratic presidential nomination. Harris claimed early Tuesday morning that she had obtained enough support from DNC delegates to be voted the party’s presidential nominee, following President Joe Biden stepping down from the race and endorsing Harris. BLM, which exploded in prominence following the death of George Floyd in 2020, said in a statement that while President Joe Biden wasn’t their top choice as a candidate, they cannot overlook the concerning actions...

The St. Louis Cardinals deny that their players engaged in a Trump-inspired home run celebration on Sunday, but good luck telling that to Keith Olbermann. On Sunday, Alec Burleson hit a home run in the third inning of the Cardinals’ game against the Braves. As he was rounding the bases, Burleson and a couple of teammates in the dugout put a hand over their ears. They raised a fist in what appeared to be a tribute to President Trump’s reaction following his assassination attempt on July 13. Is this a Trump home run celebration by the Cardinals? pic.twitter.com/f2XrQr0q3u — Talkin’...

The Hancock, Michigan, Police Department posted a press release Sunday warning about “three different incidents that appeared to be politically motivated,” with the targets being “Trump and Law Enforcement supporters.” This is what happens when billions of corporate media dollars are used to smear the decent, hardworking, everyday people who support former President Donald Trump as Nazis…. One of the victims is an 80-year-old man who was run down in his yard while putting up a pro-Trump sign: At approximately 5:45PM, in the 1600 blk of Anthony Street, the same subject driving an ATV (4-wheel) allegedly with intention to do...
