John Solomon @jsolomonReports Breaking: 'There will be no third debate': Trump ends talk of rematch with Harris From justthenews.com 2:19 PM · Sep 12, 2024

Guest host Chelsea Clinton said Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that former President Donald Trump was “scared” of Vice President Kamala Harris after their debate. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, “He doesn’t seem to want to commit to another round. Vice President Harris is saying, listen, I’m up for another debate, but does she need to do another debate? I mean, they all for weeks called her dumb and stupid and she didn’t have a brain in her head.” Clinton said, “He knows he lost and he knows he lost his cool. He knows she got under his skin and he...

Vice President Harris’s campaign painted former President Trump as too scared to debate her after his latest remarks questioning why he should participate in a debate. Trump told Fox Business Network host Maria Bartiromo this week that he wants to debate his likely Democratic opponent, but added, “I mean right now I say, why should I do a debate? I’m leading in the polls. And, everybody knows her, everybody knows me.” Harris for President co-Chair Cedric Richmond responded to the comments, saying Trump “needs to man up.” “He’s got no problem spreading lies and hateful garbage at his rallies or...

President Joe Biden’s aides are reportedly “scared *&*^&^%%” during briefings with him, as he refuses to take advice from anyone other than top aides. The reported leak from Politico represents frustration within the Biden campaign, which is reeling from a poor debate performance and subsequent calls for Biden to drop out of the race. “It’s like, ‘You can’t include that, that will set him off,’ or ‘Put that in, he likes that,’” one senior administration official told the outlet. “It’s a Rorschach test, not a briefing. Because he is not a pleasant person to be around when he’s being briefed....

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher reacted to the United Kingdom and Scandinavian nations walking back transitioning children by saying that America has tried to be so progressive, it’s actually behind the rest of the world and that the American medical establishment won’t make the same corrections other nations have because “They’re afraid.” Maher stated, “Let me add one more thing to our discussion there about rolling back some of the overexcesses in 2020…this is in the U.K., they are now pronouncing the United States as way behind. This is so, to me, symbolic of so...

When Admiral Michael Gilday, chief of U.S. naval operations, gave an interview in 2022, he made a point of saying he believed China could invade Taiwan in 2022 or 2023. As of the last week of April 2024, China has not invaded Taiwan. Does this mean that Taiwan and the international community can breathe a collective sigh of relief? Maybe. A compelling case can be made that if China does intend to take Taiwan, then the period between now and January 2025 is as favorable a time as it is likely to have over the near term.There is an array...

Vice President Kamala Harris said Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that “we should all be scared” because if former President Donald Trump is elected again, our freedoms are at stake. Harris said, “I think most people don’t think of it in the context of democracy so much as freedom. The freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body, the freedom to love who you love openly and with pride, the freedom to be able to be free from gun violence, these are fundamental freedoms that are at stake right now.” She added, “We’ve got a guy right...

The video begins with DeSantis running into the hotel store in an attempt to avoid Loomer. DeSantis then stands in the store, does not purchase anything, and eventually leaves, reluctantly walking into Loomer’s questioning. ” I confronted DeSantis as he was walking into his hotel, and he hid from me inside the hotel convenience store and used his staffers, including @Kelly_Kundinger, to physically block my body. His staff also shoved me and tugged on my clothing so that DeSantis could get away from me and run into an elevator. But, I didn’t back down!!!!!”

Conservative pundit Tucker Carlson isn't afraid to talk about many topics in the public sphere. However, when asked about the stories he's "scared" to cover, Carlson said the "UFO story" is on that very short list.

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), now a CNN contributor, said Monday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that former President Donald Trump was “scared to death” to debate his Republican primary rival, former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ). Kinzinger said, “If he was the incumbent running for reelection— you know if this was 2020, like I get that, but he lost. He lost for the Republicans, the presidency. The Republicans have done nothing but lose since Donald Trump, and so I think if he’s gonna ask for their vote he needs to come in front of them again and explain why this...

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Friday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” said former President Donald Trump looked like a “scared puppy” arriving in Washington, D.C. to be arraigned in the January 6 case. Mitchell said, “I want your reaction to the history we saw unfold yesterday. A former president of the United States pleading not guilty over an alleged conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election while he was still leading the country.” Pelosi said, “As I have said, this is heartbreaking for the country. It leads me to a very prayerful time as we say God bless America, to really bless...

Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is said to have turned down an invitation to speak at Turning Point Action (TPA) in West Palm Beach, Florida, this weekend — a move that has conservatives perplexed. Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, shared Posobiec’s tweet, writing, “Too bad!” Cernovich offered a similar sentiment to Bowyer’s. Who told DeSantis to snub Turning Point? Is he afraid they’ll boo him? They wouldn’t. What exactly is the “thinking” going on with his brainiac brain trust of big donor funded advisers? While DeSantis will not be at the event, four other Republican presidential...

Former White House chief of staff John Kelly said that former President Trump is “scared s—less” after Trump pleaded not guilty to federal charges related to his handling of classified materials on Tuesday. “He’s scared s—less,” Kelly told The Washington Post. “This is the way he compensates for that. He gives people the appearance he doesn’t care by doing this.” Following his arraignment in Miami, Trump greeted supporters at a local restaurant and then returned to his golf club in Bedminster, N.J., to deliver remarks to a cheering crowd.

An overwhelming majority of Americans do not wish Donald Trump to make a third run for the White House in 2024, according to new polling data.The poll, carried out by the Associated Press with NORC at the University of Chicago between April 13-17, found that while 70 percent of people do not wish Trump to run, only 55 percent of Republicans would like to see him run for re-election.“Views of possible 2024 presidential candidates are highly partisan,” the pollsters noted. “Among Democrats, 81% say they have a favorable opinion of Joe Biden. Among Republicans, 68% have a favorable view of...

Well, this is disappointing news. The Washington Post reported Thursday that “the national Democratic Party has said it will support Biden’s reelection, and it has no plans to sponsor primary debates.” It’s understandable: the Dems have a president, of sorts, and so they’re counting on the power of incumbency to help their superannuated kleptocrat get over the top again. However, it’s also immensely disappointing, because after years and years of Democratic presidential debates being dreary displays of candidates trying to out-socialist one another, 2024 Democratic primary debates would have actually had something to offer. Biden has two challengers, Robert F....

Friday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” network anchor Jen Psaki previewed her interview with Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) that will air on her show “Inside” on Sunday. Introducing the video, Psaki said, “What we talked about during this interview which will air Sunday, is this fight against authoritarianism, what we have seen in Tennessee. The need to speak out on the need for gun reform, the need for women to have the ability to make decisions about their own health care, for LGBTQ rights. That is not just a blue-state campaign. So he went into the heart of a bunch...

While Moscow is protected by one of the world's best air defense networks capable of shooting down ICBM's incoming MIRV warheads, satellites and other space-based weapons, this doesn't make it immune to sabotage attacks invoving drones and drone swarms. Air defense is one of the key modern military capabilities that provide adequate protection for ground units, helping them retain their combat capabilities. In recent decades, these systems have become increasingly networked and multilayered, giving the defenders a plethora of other options to shoot down hostile jets, missiles, drones etc. More recently modern militaries have started relying on swarms of well-coordinated...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday on CNN’s “This Morning ” that Republican “emphasis on crime” in the midterm elections is intended to scare voters. Clinton said, “I want to say one word about this emphasis on crime that we’ve seen in every ad that I’ve run across from the Republicans. I find it ironic and frankly disturbing that when Paul Pelosi is attacked by an intruder in his own home with a hammer, the Republicans go silent about that crime. They’re not concerned about voter safety. They just want to keep voters scared because they feel that...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) stated that “People are scared, they’re hurting” largely because of “this unsatiable effort by the Republicans to scare people, when I’m out there actually doing something to literally keep them safer.” Hochul stated, “We have been fighting the crime issue and it doesn’t go back to an election season. It goes back to last January, when I was with Eric Adams working in partnership, the first time a Democratic Governor and a Mayor of the city of New York have actually worked as a partnership. We...

In a rare convergence, America’s voters are not merely unhappy with their political leadership, but awash in fears about economic security, border security, international security and even physical security. Without a U-turn by the Biden administration, this fear will generate a wave election like those in 1994 and 2010, setting off a chain reaction that could flip the House and the Senate to Republican control in November, and ultimately the presidency in 2024.
