With long history of pushing DEI, woke initiatives, what policies would Kamala Harris pursue as President?

By Jon Levine | New York Post Vice President Harris has cheered Diversity Equity and Inclusion and array of woke social-justice initiatives throughout her political career — raising new questions about the domestic policies she would pursue should she be elected president, critics told The Post. The daughter of radical Marxist economist Donald Harris has never hidden her own left-wing ideology. Just days before the 2020 election, she re-upped her DEI chops, sharing an X post of a video explaining the difference between “equality and equity” — and why the latter, guaranteeing equal outcomes, was superior. The video shows black and white mountain climbers struggling up a mountain until the ground under the black climber magically rises higher. READ THE FULL STORY A...

Kamala Harris ‘a bad vice president’ and ‘a worse president’: J.D. Vance defines his messaging role in race

By Jared Mitovich | Politico J.D. Vance has been trying out different responses to the wave of scrutiny he’s faced since becoming Donald Trump’s running mate. Now, he’s downplaying his own relevance to the election entirely. “My attitude is, it doesn’t really matter, as much as this hits my ego,” Vance said in an interview on the “FULL SEND PODCAST” released Friday. “People are going to vote primarily for Donald Trump or for Kamala Harris. That’s the way these things go. I think my job over the next few months is to just drive home the message that Kamala Harris has been a bad vice president, and she’d be a worse president.” READ THE FULL STORY AT POLITICO

Shapiro: Whiplash-inducing media shift on Kamala Harris is now selling us that she’s the GOAT

By Ben Shapiro  | The Daily Signal So, Kamala Harris is the new Democratic candidate for president. And, we’ve been told, she is incredible. Not merely serviceable, a middle innings relief pitcher brought in when your starter suddenly implodes in the third inning. She is the Mariano Rivera of politics. She’s lights-out. She’s charismatic, fascinating, quick on her feet, charming. She is, in the words of the legacy media, a historic candidate—not just because she’s a black woman, a fact that explains her lightning-fast political ascent but that only Democrats are allowed to mention, and only then in the context of explaining why America requires a black female president—but because she is, apparently, so good at this.

Tremoglie: Kamala Harris needs to answer why she raised money to keep violent criminals out of jail

By Christopher Tremoglie | Commentary, Washington Examiner What kind of presidential candidate raises money to keep violent criminals out of jail? It’s a question that Vice President Kamala Harris needs to answer. The current vice president, and the newly presumptive Democratic nominee, previously supported and helped raise money for an organization that sought to keep violent criminals on the streets free to wreak havoc, cause harm, and hurt innocent people. Think about that every time you hear her cackle. She smiled and laughed while every day, normal Americans were suffering. It’s important not to forget that Harris, who regularly mentions “protecting our democracy,” actively raised money to try to free rioters who burned down neighborhoods and looted s...

Harris’ long a supporter of an end to fracking flip-flops on policy in fight for voters

By Susan Ferrechio | The Washington Times Once an advocate of a complete ban on fracking, Vice President Kamala Harris reversed course when she became the Democrats’ presumptive presidential nominee in an election that hinges on Pennsylvania voters. Fracking, the extraction of natural gas and oil from bedrock, makes up a critical part of Pennsylvania’s economy, supporting more than 100,000 jobs in the state, according to a recent analysis. Ms. Harris, who has embraced the Biden administration’s commitment to a net-zero electrical grid by 2035 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, has long supported an end to the fracking industry. She aligned herself with climate activists who are dedicated to ending fossil fuels and converting the nation’s energy to renewables such as ...

Sloan: With Biden out and Harris in, don’t toll the victory bell just yet

By Kelly Sloan | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice In the pantheon of political events, Joe Biden’s belated decision to become the first sitting President since Lyndon B. Johnson to not seek re-election was about as surprising as the advent of the sunrise at dawn. Even had George Clooney not bestowed the nation with the gravitas of his august thoughts on the matter, the weight of internal opposition – not to mention the polling that was looking increasingly grim for the aging and often bewildered President – was such that the decision was destined to be made sooner than later.  It’s telling, somewhat, that Biden refused to proffer any explanation for his withdrawal during his Oval Office address. The exact circumstances surrounding his acceptance of the ultimate decision – esp...

Bill Barr: Biden reforms would usher in ‘radical change’, purge Supreme Court’s conservative justices

By Miranda Nazzaro | The Hill Former Attorney General Bill Barr offered his concerns about President Biden’s reform proposals for the Supreme Court on Monday, arguing they would eliminate the high court’s conservative justices and “destroy the independence of the judiciary.” “Americans need to understand that the campaign to radically change the Court is coming. While current proposals like term limits for the longest-serving justices and an imposed code of ethics threaten the Constitution and the separation of powers, the far left is demanding that Court be packed with additional liberal justices,” Barr and Kelly Shackelford — the president, CEO and chief counsel for First Liberty Institute — wrote in an op-ed published with Fox News on Monday. Barr ...

Former President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama endorse Harris bid for President

By MYAH WARD | Politico Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama threw their support behind Vice President Kamala Harris’ bid for the White House on Friday. The Harris campaign announced the endorsement with a video showing the vice president on a phone call with the Obamas. In the video, Michelle Obama said she is proud of Harris and that this election will be “historic,” before the former president shared they were endorsing her. “We called to say, Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office,” he said.

Donald Trump vs Kamala Harris: What do the betting markets say?

By Eric Revell | Fox Business President Biden's decision on Sunday to drop out of the presidential race and Vice President Harris gaining the support to become the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee hasn't caused a dramatic shift in betting markets' views of the matchup with Republican nominee former President Trump. Biden's decision on Sunday to withdraw from the race came after intense pressure from Democrat politicians who were concerned about his waning support amid concerns over his health and mental acuity in the wake of his poor debate performance against Trump on June 27. Biden's odds of winning a second term plunged from about 45% on PredictIt on the eve of the debate to 15% on Saturday, the day prior to his decision to withdraw. Bettors on Polymarket cut his odds fro...

FACT CHECK: Harris was Biden’s second ‘border czar,’ despite recent media claims

By Bethany Blankley | The Center Square As Vice President Kamala Harris began campaigning to become the next Democratic presidential nominee, media outlets started claiming she was never President Joe Biden’s border czar. The claims are verifiably false. “Kamala Harris Was Never Biden’s ‘Border Czar,’” TIME Magazine claimed. A USA Today "fact check" headline said, "Harris' border work was on 'root causes' of migration; she wasn't in charge." Axios wrote, “The Trump campaign and Republicans have tagged Harris repeatedly with the ‘border czar’ title – which she never actually had.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE CENTER SQUARE
