So we've been through an entire debate, and Kamala Harris still hasn't explained any of her extraordinary policy flip-flops. A person can't just wake up one morning and abandon their entire worldview without an explanation. ...they can try, but no sensible person would take them seriously. Sure, politicians have been calibrating and triangulating their positions since Pericles. Most have been compelled to explain their ideological evolution — or have the decency to lie about it. None has ever relied on an army of anonymous campaign flacks to erase a lifetime of positions. Well, not until Harris. We all understand Democrats...

Kamala Harris and the propaganda media are trying to portray her as the “freedom” warrior. It’s a complete sham — the Harris-Biden administration spent the last 3.5 years strong-arming social media companies to censor free speech. A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for 4 more years of tyranny and abuse of power.

**SNIP** Trump proposed spending $267 billion more. Biden, $297 billion. The socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders wanted to spend an astonishing $3.976 trillion. But Harris was even worse! $4.162 trillion in new spending. Biden’s big spending ignited nasty inflation. Imagine how much prices would have increased had Democrats selected Harris back then. Last week, in her first policy speech, she proposed $1.7 trillion in new spending. At least that’s not as bad as what she wanted during COVID: She thought government should give every American $2,000 a month. That would have cost taxpayers $21 trillion! Her love for big government dominates...

While Kammy goes commie, The Times airs out the dirty laundry A funny thing happened after Joe Biden was fired Kamala (Marxist) and Walz (Marxist) were selected by Barack Obama (Marxist) to head the "Democratic Party" ticket after Obama gave the President of the United States six months to clean out his desk. There was no election. What's "democratic" about that? That's a coup! Joe Biden was overthrown. It's as simple as that. It was finally over. Joe Biden couldn't hold out any longer. He signed and submitted a "stand down" letter and quit the race on July 21, 2024....

He finally ran out of other people’s money. Disgraced Rep. Jamaal Bowman is begging for cash and painting himself as the victim in the wake of his bruising — and losing June primary fight against Westchester County Executive George Latimer. The race was the most expensive in House history, and Bowman — who campaigned with surrogates who publicly celebrated Hamas terrorism –whined to donors about American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which spent $14.5 million to help unseat him. “AIPAC spent more money against us than any other House primary – ever. I was public enemy number one and they spent...

In 2019, the watchdog site GovTrack rated Kamala Harris “the most liberal” member of the Senate. She was the senator least likely to sign onto bipartisan legislation. Look for that write-up now, however, and you find a “page not found.” GovTrack deleted it. It’s just one example of how Kamala Harris, once a hero of progressives, has been, along with a helpful media, hiding all her far-left positions from voters. A centrist Democrat has a better chance of winning the election, so a centrist she shall be. But it doesn’t take much searching to find the real politician, not the...

British television host Piers Morgan ripped into Vice President Harris, calling her the “most far-left senator in modern American history.” Morgan, speaking on “Fox News Saturday Night,” dismissed the scores of support Harris has received from Democrats since President Biden announced last Sunday that he would not seek reelection. “She’s getting a fantastically amazing honeymoon. It’s going to last about a week here, and then reality will kick in,” Morgan said Saturday. “And Donald Trump will start going very hard as he already is about her record. And her record is she’s literally probably the most far-left senator in modern...

Former CIA director John Brennan says he is "worried" about a possible second Donald Trump presidency - and fears it could spell disaster for Europe.

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the United States should not send additional aid to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “war machine.” Partial transcript as follows: MARGARET BRENNAN: You have long been a critic of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The other night, President Biden was heard on a hot mic after the State of the Union address saying he has to have a come to Jesus talk with Netanyahu about letting humanitarian aid into Gaza. Have you spoken to President Biden about whether he’s had this conversation? If he hasn’t, what is he...

Bad smells, loud talking and getting too close, too quickly are all major red flags when dating someone new, Americans told Fox News. “I think just being really friendly and touchy with other girls is a red flag,” Cassie, from Arizona, told Fox News. Joseph said it’s a red flag if a potential girlfriend starts invading his personal space. “When she’s getting a little too comfortable and kind of breaching the privacy zone,” he told Fox News. “And, you know, the individual barrier zone.” SNIP The most common red flag for men — with nearly two-thirds agreeing — is if...

A Seattle lawmaker has furiously denied her support for defunding the police is to blame for soaring crime in the city. Council member Kshama Sawant said the city should not add police resources to the Central District neighborhood after 24 children had to crawl to the bathroom of a daycare facility following a shooting. The incident happened on Monday outside of the A-4 Apple Learning Center, with a 47-year-old man being shot on the street. A bullet pierced through the window of the center, with co-owner Appollonia Washington telling staff and children inside to 'army crawl' to the bathroom and...

In one of his most ironic proclamations to date, Rob Reiner declared that “democracy” can only survive if former President Donald Trump is imprisoned and all third-party candidates are prohibited from running. Rob Reiner — who is one of Hollywood’s biggest cheerleaders for Joe Biden — made his absurd statement in a recent post to X, formerly known as Twitter.Hard Reality: For our Democracy to survive, two things have to happen. Donald Trump needs to be Convicted for Jan. 6th and there can be no Third Party Candidate. — Rob Reiner (@robreiner) September 8, 2023Some prominent commentators have noted that...

The top Democrat in the House of Representatives "vigorously" endorsed "Squad" Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., for re-election amid the congresswoman's criticism of a pro-Israel political action committee (PAC). House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., threw his support behind Omar on Wednesday, "vigorously" endorsing the "Squad" Democrat with a long history of controversial comments about Israel. "Rep. Omar has been elected by her constituents three times and has consistently stood up for them, including through her service on the House Budget Committee," Jeffries said in a statement. "As House Democratic Leader, I vigorously endorse her re-election and stand with her as...

FIRST ON FOX: Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders quietly funneled $200,000 from his campaign's coffers to his wife's nonprofit institute, which appears to do very little work and pays six figures' worth of compensation to her son, Fox News Digital has found. The independent senator's committee cut two $100,000 checks to the Sanders Institute for reported charitable contributions in January and March, its Federal Election Commission records show. The expenditures are the largest from the Sanders campaign to any entity this election cycle. The senator's wife, Jane O'Meara Sanders, and stepson, David Driscoll, co-established the Sanders Institute in 2017 to act...

The state of New Hampshire has been sued after officials removed a historical marker commemorating the birthplace of a communist and labor leader - just weeks after it was installed. The state's Department of Natural and Cultural Resources unveiled a green aluminum sign, bearing the New Hampshire state seal, on May 1 recognizing former Community Party USA head Elizabeth Gurley Flynn as a 'nationally-known labor leader, civil libertarian and feminist organizer.' But the sign was removed just two weeks later at the direction of Republican Gov. Chris Sununu, who has said the 'anti-American sign' will not be put back on...

A loyal servant of divisive repression, she has been drafted into an...

Thomas Haldenwang...the head of Germany's domestic intelligence agency...said anti-government extremists consciously use wedge issues to stoke fear and gain new followers. These include migration - where far-right actors have perpetuated the myth of a "great replacement" - but also government measures to curb the coronavirus pandemic and combat climate change.

Ian Fleming (James Bond) is among the writers undergoing posthumous editing for content unsuitable for today’s readers. As he is dead, he has no choice in the matter. We are all familiar with book banning and book burning. Can anything be worse? Yes, changing a writer’s intent, dead or alive, through sensitivity editing. Some writers, nowadays, agree to go along to get along. That’s too bad. True writers value each word they write. Hemingway spoke of the search for the “perfect sentence,” and quite often he clicked, if he can be forgiven for his mistreatment of Robert Cohn in “The...
