Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris of California was caught in a major lie Wednesday night at the 2020 vice presidential debate, directly contradicting a history of promises from her and her running mate to defend against claims a Biden-Harris administration would ban American hydraulic fracturing for oil and natural gas. The claim came as Harris sparred with incumbent Vice President Mike Pence over how best to address the issue of climate change. “Joe Biden will not end fracking,” Harris said. “He has been very clear about that.” Harris would provide no explanation and no qualifiers, her campaign simply going on to...

When an ABC news anchor has to tell the truth... I thought Pence rocked. Harris looked tense...

I approached the Vice Presidential debate this evening with one question: "What is Kamala Harris like?" I'd conveniently missed the primary debates so my impression of the woman was basically unformed. Unformed but not unbiased. No one is unbiased as the tenor of moderator Susan Page's questions clearly showed. I've heard the usual tittle-tattle about Kamala's personal life, but being a MAGA Conservative, I'm focused on the issues, not personalities. I already know what Kamala stands for, or rather doesn't stand for, Protection of the unborn coming to mind. Still, being an inveterate people watcher, I wanted to know how...

"I think it is personal," the Texas senator said about Justice John Roberts' motivation to turn away from the conservative movement with his court decisions........ Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz says Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts "despises Donald Trump," which accounts for a number of the decisions he had made from the top seat on the high court in recent years. In an appearance on David Brody's recently launched show "The Water Cooler," Senator Cruz, an attorney and author of the new book "One Vote Away: How a Single Supreme Court Seat Can Change History," told the host that...

Tens of thousands of people swarmed the Lincoln Memorial, all with one common goal—to pray for our nation. So, it was quite a surprise, when one of the very people to be lifted up on Saturday afternoon by a sea of Christians gathering together from across the country, slipped in just as the Washington Prayer March 2020 began: Appearing from stage right—catching everyone off guard—Vice President Mike Pence. And the vice president came to say one thing to the prayer warriors flanking the National Mall: “I just want to say ‘Thank you for your prayers,’” he said. “And the president...

Supreme Court fight pushes Senate toward brink BY JORDAIN CARNEY - 09/26/20 01:02 PM EDT The burgeoning fight to fill Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Supreme Court seat is pouring fuel onto already simmering tensions in the Senate and threatening to fundamentally reshape the institution. Senators in both parties acknowledge the level of dysfunction in a chamber where the bulk of their time is spent processing nominations amid failures to break stalemates on pressing national issues such as coronavirus relief and police reform. “I’m praying to God that the better angels start flying with my colleagues. That’s all I can tell...

BLM activist from Indiana admits to posing as black person, vows to ‘seek help’ Another “black” activist has admitted to being a white person. Satchuel Cole, a community organizer for Black Lives Matter in Indiana, fessed up to the years-long ruse in a Facebook post last week — and vowed to “seek help.” “Friends, I need to take accountability for my actions and the harm that I have done. My deception and lies have hurt those I care most about. I have taken up space as a Black person while knowing I am white. I have used Blackness when it...

Remember Rachel Dolezal? The famously white NAACP leader from the Spokane area who got around by pretending to be Black, has company. Turns out a Black Lives Matter activist leader from Indianapolis has somehow been caught out and now also admits to being white while pretending to be Black. Satchuel Cole (original name: Jennifer Benton -ed.) has been highly a visible racial justice activist in Indianapolis, has worked with the local Black Lives Matter chapter and was even the spokesperson for the family of Aaron Bailey who was killed by police during a June 2017 traffic stop, according to The...

Pushes back against activist judgeINDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (ChurchMilitant.com) - Indiana's attorney general (AG) is defending the right of the Indianapolis archdiocese to dismiss a homosexual teacher. On Tuesday, Indiana AG Curtis Hill filed a brief challenging a judge's ruling that let a Catholic school teacher sue the archdiocese. Former Indianapolis Cathedral High School teacher Joshua Payne-Elliott is suing the archdiocese because he was fired after entering into a so-called same-sex marriage. Hill says the suit should be dismissed. In his brief, the AG invoked the First Amendment. "The suit should have been dismissed immediately under the First Amendment's longstanding protections for...

Groups of conservatives, QAnon supporters, and others on social media have jumped on the release of the French coming-of-age film Cuties and a trending “Cancel Netflix” hashtag to associate the company with pedophilia. A Netflix spokesperson on Thursday defended “Cuties” as an award-winning “social commentary,” according to the DCNF, “Cuties is a social commentary against the sexualization of young children. It’s an award-winning film and a powerful story about the pressure young girls face on social media and from society more generally growing up – and we’d encourage anyone who cares about these important issues to watch the movie.” But...

A bipartisan coalition of members of Congress sent a letter to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver on Wednesday “to express our deep concern” over the NBA’s statements surrounding controversy over a tweet last week by Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey, who expressed support for pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong. “It is outrageous that the Chinese Communist Party is using its economic power to suppress the speech of American inside the United States. It is also outrageous that the NBA has caved to Chinese government demands for contrition,” the letter reads. It was co-signed by eight members of Congress, including Republican...

A Democratic sheriff in Indiana has publicly abandoned his party just two months ahead of the November election, and he cited his faith and attacks from members of his former party on law enforcement and the American flag on the way out. Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding announced the switch last week outside of a business in Evansville while in the presence of Indiana Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, a Republican. The Evansville Courier & Press reported Wedding was elected sheriff as a Democrat in 2014 and again in 2018. By switching parties publicly, he wanted to make a statement against...

LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WISH) — Police have arrested a teen after two men were killed in Lafayette on Monday night. The Lafayette Police Department has arrested 17-year-old Jaelynn Billups in the case. She faces preliminary charges of murder and robbery. The Tippecanoe County Prosecutor’s Office did not immediately respond to an email Tuesday afternoon to find out if Billups will be charged as a juvenile or an adult.

President Trump must think the American people are suckers if he expects them to believe he didn’t insult fallen soldiers during his 2018 trip to France, former Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg told “The Story” Friday. “I mean, look, the president today lied on Twitter about never calling John McCain a loser,” Buttigieg, a veteran of the U.S. Navy Reserve who served in Afghanistan, told host Jon Scott. “Now, he’s asking us to believe that, OK, he’s lying about that today, because we can check and see the footage, but he’s not lying about the other stuff? He must think...

by Samantha Foster A Starbucks barista posted a video to TikTok on Sunday calling for “more dead cops” that showed him behind the counter preparing a special poisonous “Blue Lives Matter” drink recipe that called for more than a cup of bleach. The video, which has since been deleted from TikTok, showed a Starbucks cup sitting on the counter with the words “Blue Lives Matter” written on the side of it. The caption on the video read “All I want for Christmas is more dead cops.” (also the "song" which accompanied the video). The barista, who could not be...
