Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday despite failing to release a policy platform since launching her campaign. Harris headlined the final night of the Democratic National Convention, accepting the nomination that the delegates had voted to give her weeks before in a virtual roll call. The vice president largely spoke about her personal background and attacked former President Donald Trump, while sprinkling in some vague policy positions and campaign themes. “On behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on earth, I accept your nomination to be president of the...

On the eve of officially accepting the Democratic presidential nomination, Kamala Harris still has no policy page on her campaign website, so Republican nominee Donald Trump created a page for her. Since Harris’s official campaign website does not include insight into her policy agenda, Trump launched "Kamala2024policies.com" to highlight Harris’s dismal record as the vice president and former California prosecutor. The website lists nine policy positions that Harris has supported in the past—including "Fighting to Set Murderers Free," "Bringing Back the Green New Deal," "Abolish Borders," "Eliminate Private Health Insurance," and "More Taxes." "Border Czar Kamala Harris opened the southern...

Left-wing corporate media’s non-stop defensive coverage of Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris is working, with a new poll from Media Research Center finding more than 70 percent of Democrats are unaware of what Harris’ policy positions are. Media Research Center surveyed 1,200 “registered Democrats and Independents who voted for Joe Biden in 2020” and found that on 10 “different aspects of Harris’s public record … between 71% and 86% of these Democrats and Independents said they either had not heard of Harris’s position or were unsure.” Data shows that when it comes to the key issues like immigration and crime,...

We wrote Friday that Kamala Harris was likely to continue President Biden’s unfinished Build Back Better agenda, but it turns out we were far too optimistic. The policy priorities the Vice President laid out Friday are much worse, including a plan to impose national price controls on food and groceries.

Democrats appear rattled that they could lose Senate, House, and presidential elections if Vice President Kamala Harris is transparent about policy solutions to reverse the administration’s failures. Harris, who has not held an unscripted press conference for 26 days since joining the race, is facing calls to not only remain hidden from the press but to keep her proposed policies a secret as she prepares to deliver economic proposals in North Carolina on Friday. Harris, however, already published several policies, such as socialist-style price controls, subsidies for homeowners, and two policies that copy the Trump-Vance ticket: a child tax credit...

President Biden claimed Tuesday that he and Vice President Kamala Harris share policies that are not “progressive” — tying his legacy to hers in another comment from the White House stressing their join legacy and complicating potential efforts for Harris to distance herself from his record Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Biden “how much more progressive is Vice President Kamala Harris than you as a candidate in the general?” “The issues we’ve worked on together have made big progress economically,” the president responded while walking out of the White House en route to a Cancer Moonshot event in Louisiana. “No...

Talk about the cost of doing business. A shameless Costco shopper put the popular warehouse retailer’s generous return policy to the test — and tested the patience of social media observers — by dragging a three-year-old couch back to her local store. California-based realtor Jasmen Reyes recently performed a public demonstration of the limits of the guarantee via a video posted to her TikTok account where she attempts to return the unwanted furniture — said to be worth approximately $1,400.

Meghan McCain, the daughter of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), is putting pressure on Vice President Harris — the presumptive Democratic nominee for president — to address policy issues such as immigration and inflation, instead of leaning on personal attacks “No matter how much momentum and media love Vice President Harris is getting right now — I don’t know her excuses for our s— inflation and open borders, where literal terrorists are crossing,” she wrote Saturday in a post on social media platform X.

Kamala Harris represents the most dangerous kind of politician. At her core, she’s a Marxist tyrant and a radical left-wing activist. Yet, when the spotlight hits her, she sheds her skin like a snake, adopting the guise of a semi-centrist. But we all know that’s just an act. Once in power, Kamala will rip off her semi-centrist mask and reveal her true identity—Kamala Jong Un. Her track record is a disaster. This is the woman who championed the wildly dangerous and unpopular “Defund the Police” movement, and supported a soft-on-crime bail fund that put violent George Floyd rioters, murderers, and...

During an interview on Tuesday for Wednesday’s BET News interview special “Black America Votes: The Biden Interview,” President Joe Biden said that his economic policies haven’t resonated with people “because the Republican Party and the MAGA Republicans have been opposed to it, and they’ve been beating up on it.” And because “it’s just taking time for people to see it. And the other thing is, there’s not been a very good job done about saying, this new billion-dollar bridge going over there is brought to you by Joe Biden.” But some of his policy agenda has “resonated for those who...

Six big school districts in Nevada responsible for thousands of students have policies to help them change sex identity in class without their parents finding out, DailyMail.com can reveal. Parents Defending Education (PDE), a conservative group, obtained details of the stealth transgender policies by making public records requests from the schools. The found that teachers are directed to help trans students change their names, pronouns, clothing, and sex identity in class without their parents' knowledge. Trans campaigners say such policies are helpful, as some kids need refuge from old-fashioned moms and dads who don't accept their offspring changing sex. But...

One of the defining features of former President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign was his – at least at the time – unorthodox opinions on trade. With the notable exception of Bernie Sanders, the other candidates parroted the longstanding bipartisan consensus on free trade. Trump promoted protectionist policies and tariffs.“We can’t continue to allow China to rape our country, and that’s what they’re doing. It’s the greatest theft in the history of the world,” Trump said at a 2016 campaign rally in Fort Wayne, Indiana. In his remarks on the campaign trail, you could hear echoes of his interviews from the...

It is now little more than a “developing country”. Its stock market is a “junk shop” selling old tat. And its reputation as a place to do business has “never been so bad’. In the middle of the UK’s dismal election campaign, it would be easy to imagine that Britain was the country under discussion. But Theodor Weimer, the head of the once mighty Deutsche Börse, was describing his native Germany. And he was absolutely right. After a series of catastrophic policy mistakes by centrist leaders, there is no way back for Germany – and its decline is only going...

Going back to Carter, the Democrats never grasp that, if you negotiate with hostage-takers, you get more hostages. In Joe Biden’s proposed agreement to end The Israeli Military Offensive (and Defensive) actions, he puts releasing the hostages as the third stage in his preferred sequences of events. For Biden, now and before October 7, 2023, releasing the hostages has been a very low priority. Evidently, terrorist activities are rewarded, not punished. When the world was stable (before Joe Biden), Western nations, including America, understood that negotiating with terrorists was not an option. The reason for this rule of thumb is...

The world of climate science is in shock following extraordinary findings from a team of high-powered NASA scientists that suggest most of the recent global temperature increases are due to the introduction of draconian fuel shipping regulations designed to help prevent global warming. The fantasy world of Net Zero is of course full of unintended consequences, but it is claimed that the abrupt 80% cut in sulphur dioxide emissions from international shipping in 2020 has accounted for 80% of global warming since the turn of the decade. Although the extra heat is described as “transient”, the warming is extraordinary and...

[BOISE] – Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador joined a 19-state coalition asking the Supreme Court to declare unconstitutional the efforts of California, Connecticut, Minnesota, New Jersey, and Rhode Island to dictate the future of American energy policy. Those five states have brought unprecedented litigation against the nation’s most vital energy companies for an alleged “climate crisis,” and are demanding billions of dollars in damages. As litigation proceeds in their individual state courts, California and the others threaten to impose ruinous penalties and coercive remedies that would affect energy and fuel consumption and production across the country. “It’s not a new...

For the better part of two decades, a small group of us fiscally prudent types have been relegated to the wilderness for having the temerity to sound the alarm. Our warnings were bordering on heresy to many on Wall Street and in DC. But lately, more and more voices are joining the chorus that we are heading headlong toward a fiscal and monetary cliff. When the day of reckoning arrives, most people will be unprepared. That is a fact that has been proven throughout history. Just as fortune favours the prepared, financial ruin will befall the unprepared. Before you roll...

JPMorgan Chase bank has apparently rolled back a policy that led to the de-banking of several conservatives and nonprofit groups, according to Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). Fox News reported on Friday that the bank had rolled back its WePay service, and the Christian law firm is praising the move. The service “required merchants to refrain from accepting payments or using the service for activities related to ‘social risk issues,’ which the bank defined as anything ‘subject to allegation and impacts related to hate groups, systemic racism, sexual harassment and corporate culture,'” the outlet said. In May 2019, JPMorgan Chase Chief...

With his recent comments on the ongoing Israel-Gaza war baffling many who have long been in the know in Washington, one might wonder where exactly U.S. President Joe Biden is getting his intelligence on the Middle East from. That would be Maher Bitar, who serves as Special Assistant to the President and is White House Coordinator for Intelligence and Defense Policy at the U.S. National Security Council (NSC) What are his qualifications? He was a radical pro-Palestinian activist and a leader within Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), according to a Breitbart.com report. Bitar is the fastest-rising Muslim official in...

Jared Bernstein is perhaps the most influential "economist" in the United States. I put economist in quotes, despite his being an academic who has taught the subject and has advised Congress and the highest elected officials in America. I do so because he is a moron. He is such a moron that Paul Krugman himself admires him for his economic insights. He is that bad. ... This is absolutely priceless. And probably the most frightening clip you'll ever watch on the people in charge of the US economy. Jared Bernstein is literally the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers,...
