Kamala Accepts Debate Challenge – But There’s A Catch

    5

    Not so fast…

    Kamala Harris confirmed on Thursday her participation in one debate before this year’s election, which is two fewer than what former President Donald Trump is proposing.

    A campaign official said Harris would not agree to the September 4 presidential debate on Fox News that was floated by Trump, ABC News correspondent Selina Wang shared in a post to X.



    Earlier, Trump and his campaign revealed plans to participate in three debates next month, including the ABC and Fox events. They said the third one would be held by NBC News on September 25.

    “We have spoken to the heads of the networks and it’s all been confirmed other than some fairly minor details,” Trump said.

    “The other side has to agree to the terms,” he added, referring to the Harris campaign. “They may or may not agree. I don’t know. She hasn’t done an interview. She can’t do an interview. She’s barely competent. She can’t do an interview, but I look forward to the debates because we have to set the record straight.”

    Harris later told NBC News that she was “looking forward” to the debate on September 10, and ABC News affirmed that both parties had agreed to attend the event.

    Trump also said that CBS would host the vice presidential debate between his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), and Harris’ pick, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. CBS has yet to confirm a date.

    Trump Signals New Debate Against Harris

      In a Wednesday morning appearance on “Fox & Friends,” former President Donald Trump stated that he will debate Vice President Kamala Harris in the “pretty near future.” The surprise announcement has stirred considerable interest and speculation about the dynamics of this potential face-off.

      Trump’s Remarks

      During Fox News‘ morning program, Trump commented on Harris, saying, “I hear she’s sort of a nasty person, but not a good debater.” He added, “But we’ll see because we’ll be debating her, I guess, in the pretty near future.”

      The Hill reports:

      “It’s going to be announced fairly soon. But we’ll be debating her. I would like to see it on Fox, by the way,” the former president added.

      Trump indicated that other networks, such as NBC and CBS, have also been lobbying to host the event.

      “I want to debate her. I think it’s important for the country that we debate,” the GOP nominee said. “Now where it is, I’m all for Fox. I think Fox would do a really good job. But two people have to agree.”

      Debate Dilemmas: Fox vs. ABC

      The potential debate between Trump and Harris comes following a standoff between their campaigns over the choice of news networks.

      The ABC News debate, which was originally scheduled for Sept. 10, was supposed to feature both Trump and President Biden. However, Biden’s withdrawal from the race immediately cast doubt on the status of the debate. Eventually, Trump also backed away from the debate, citing his lawsuit against ABC News host George Stephanopoulos as a primary reason.

      The Harris campaign likewise rejected Trump’s proposal to appear on Fox News on Sept. 4. They claimed that the Republican nominee is “running scared” and attempting to back out of the debate he had already agreed to, allegedly hoping for more favorable coverage from Fox News instead.

      What’s Next?

      With both campaigns appearing to yield little ground, the scheduling and platform for the Trump-Harris debate remain in question. Will they find a middle ground and proceed with the debate? Only time will tell.

      Trump To Sit For FBI Interview As Assassination Probe Heats Up

        2

        A new development…

        Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has agreed to sit to meet with FBI officials and participate in a victim interview as the investigation into the recent assassination attempt continues.

        “The interview of the former president will be consistent with any other victim interview that we do,” Kevin Rojek, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh Field Office, told reporters on a conference call Monday. The FBI wants to “get his perspective on what he observed, just like any other witness to the crime.”

        Victim interviews are a routine part of criminal investigations but are voluntary.

        “It is a standard victim interview, like we would do for any other victim of crime under any other circumstances,” Rojek said.

        According to CNN, Rojek admitted that Crooks was “highly intelligent” and had a growing interest in shooting. While officials had already revealed that he searched “how far away was Oswald from Kennedy” before the shooting, Rojek said Monday that he also made other concerning searches related to “power plants, mass shooting events, information on improvised explosive devices and the attempted assassination of the Slovakian Prime Minister earlier this year.”

        His primary social circle “appears to be limited to his immediate family, as we believe, he had few friends and acquaintances throughout his life,” Rojek said.

        “While the FBI investigation may not yet have determined a motive, we believe the subject made significant efforts to conceal his activities,” Rojek said. “Additionally, we believe his actions also show careful planning ahead of the campaign rally.”

        The FBI said Crooks used aliases to purchase both different firearm related items as well as the chemical and explosive components used to make the explosive devices that were found in Crook’s car.

        It is still unclear how Crooks evaded security even after being noticed by law enforcement more than an hour before shots rang out, but the FBI said more than 300 agents and staff are working “round the clock” to gather facts and put together a clearer timeline of Crooks’ actions. 

        FBI officials are still working to determine Crooks’ motive behind the assassination attempt that rocked Butler and neighboring townships. They are also still working to determine whether Crooks planned with any coconspirators, though the agency clarified on Monday that there are no signs to indicate there were others involved.

        Trump is expected to return to Butler at some point for another rally, but he has not released any details on when that will be.

        Multiple House Dems Vote To Condemn Harris’s Immigration Failures

          1

          On Thursday, six House Democrats voted alongside Republicans to condemn “border czar” Kamala Harris over her failure to secure the United States’ southern border with Mexico.

          The resolution was sponsored by GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and put to a vote on the House floor.

          Since Biden’s decision to end his re-election campaign there’s been a dramatic push by the legacy media to neutralize one of Harris’ biggest vulnerabilities: her longstanding “border czar” label.

          Harris was widely dubbed the “border czar” after President Biden tasked her in March 2021 to address the root causes of mass migration from Central and South America.

          The term was widely used by her critics and by multiple news organizations, however, her recent ascension has caused a notable change throughout media outlets.

          CNN had a similar shift. CNN correspondent Ed Lavandera and CNN commentator Alyssa Farah Griffin both referred to Harris as the “border czar” in 2021 and 2023, respectively. 

          This week, the network repeatedly rebuked the label. 

          “The Biden team didn’t declare her the border czar,” CNN’s Kasie Hunt said Wednesday morning. “They wanted her to work on kind of the root causes of immigration.”

          “What [former President Trump] said about Harris and immigration was not true. She was never appointed border czar,” fellow CNN anchor John Berman also said Wednesday. 

          Axios went viral Wednesday with its report about the “border confusion” that has haunted Harris, telling readers “the Trump campaign and Republicans have tagged Harris repeatedly with the ‘border czar’ title — which she never actually had.”

          Meet the Representatives helping hold the presumptive Democrat nominee responsible:

          Jared Golden (D-ME)

          Yadira Caraveo (D-CO)

          Don Davis (D-NC) 

          Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) 

          Henry Cuellar (D-TX)

          U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, speaks about the U.S. Department of Agriculture USDA $102 million dollar investment to expand access to housing and water infrastructure for socially disadvantaged rural people, nearly nation wide, during an announcement in Zapata Co., TX, on Dec 16, 2022. USDA Media by Lance Cheung.

          Mary Peltola (D-AK)

          The document first outlined Harris’s prescribed role in addressing the border crisis and noted, among other items, that the former Border Patrol chief had never been spoken to by either Harris or President Joe Biden and the skyrocketing levels of illegal immigration into the country under their administration.

          “the House of Representatives strongly condemns the Biden Administration and its Border Czar, Kamala Harris’s, failure to secure the United States border; affirms that the American people deserve elected officials who understand the gravity of the crisis at the border and who will execute the policies to fix the border crisis; clearly and firmly states that the continuation of the Biden, Harris border policies would be disastrous for both the United States and the American people.”

          Read the full resolution:

          The handful of Democrats siding with Republicans is notable as Harris seeks to secure the party nomination.

          Republicans are expected to capitalize on Harris’s failures at the border throughout the election.

          Former Obama Staffer Accuses GOP Of Leaking Michelle Obama White House Rumors

            0

            A former staffer for President Barack Obama is sharing her own theory behind speculation former First Lady Michelle Obama has an interest in running for President.

            Party strategist Ameshia Cross said during an appearance on “Cuomo.”

            “Honestly, I don’t think it’s coming from the right because they really want to see Michelle Obama run, I think it’s coming from the right because they want an opportunity to tear Michelle Obama down,” she told anchor Chris Cuomo.

            Cross, a former Obama campaign staffer, said it’s abundantly clear the former first lady has “absolutely no interest” in a White House bid “at any level.” Rather than run against Harris, Cross believes Michelle Obama will likely work as a surrogate to help her secure her funding.

            The director of communications for Obama’s office, reaffirmed her stance in March, stating, “As former First Lady Michelle Obama has expressed several times over the years, she will not be running for president.”

            Earlier this month a poll found Obama as one of the only Democrats able to beat Trump this November.

            The survey, conducted by Reuters/Ipsos, reveals that Michelle Obama would surpass Trump in a hypothetical matchup, securing 50% of the vote compared to his 39%. Notably, only 4% of respondents stated they would abstain from voting altogether. The 11-point lead highlights Obama’s uniquely strong position in a highly polarized political landscape.

            Biden Defense Department Tells Soldiers To Treat Pro-life Americans As Potential Terrorists

            4
            Washington D.C., USA - January 22, 2015; A Pro-Life woman clashes with a group of Pro-Choice demonstrators at the U.S. Supreme Court.

            A group of United States senators and representatives are demanding answers after United States military servicemembers received anti-terrorism training that included instructions to consider pro-life Americans as potential terrorists.

            It is unclear why the military would be training for combat against Americans on American soil.

            Senators James Lankford (R-OK) and Ted Budd (R-NC), along with Representative Richard Hudson (R-NC) and their colleagues, “sent a letter to Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth demanding answers after an anti-terrorism training conducted at Fort Liberty, North Carolina depicted Pro-Life Americans as terrorists,” Lankford’s office reports.

            “We write regarding social media reports that anti-terrorism training conducted at Ft. Liberty, North Carolina depicts Pro-Life Americans as terrorists. Specifically, the slides identify National Right to Life, ‘Choose Life’ license plate holders, and anyone who opposes the Supreme Court’s rightfully overturned decision in Roe v. Wade, which was rightfully overturned by the Supreme Court, as members of terrorist groups. Smearing Pro-Life Americans is despicable and emblematic of the ongoing politicization of the military under the Biden-Harris Administration,” the Members wrote.

            The National Right to Life Committee is a peaceful mainstream conservative organization.  The training did not mention pro-abortion groups such as “Jane’s Revenge,” which have been engaged in a nationwide campaign of domestic terrorist attacks on pregnancy centers and Catholic churches.

            “It is no wonder that the Army is struggling to recruit young men and women to join its ranks when it appears the service attacks their values and promotes a woke agenda rather than improving readiness and lethality…The American people deserve to be assured that these slides truly do not reflect the Army’s views, that a full investigation will be conducted, and that any offending employees will be properly held accountable. Finally, we must be assured that similar materials are not being utilized at other installations across the Army,” the Members continued.

            Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC), John Barrasso (R-WY), Roger Wicker (R-MS), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Tom Cotton (R-AR), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Mike Lee (R-UT), Steve Daines (R-MT), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Todd Young (R-IN), Deb Fischer (R-NE), Eric Schmitt (R-MO), Mike Braun (R-IN), Jim Risch (R-ID), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), Mike Crapo (R-ID), and Bill Hagerty (R-TN) also signed the letter. 

            The letter is supported by Catholic Vote, National Right to Life Committee, Family Research Council, Americans United for Life, Concerned Women for America, Students for Life Action, SBA Pro-Life America, Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, and ACLJ Action.

            The letter reads:

            Dear Secretary Wormuth,

            We write regarding social media reports that anti-terrorism training conducted at Ft. Liberty, North Carolina depicts Pro-Life Americans as terrorists. Specifically, the slides identify National Right to Life, “Choose Life” license plate holders, and anyone who opposes the Supreme Court’s rightfully overturned decision in Roe v. Wade,which was rightfully overturned by the Supreme Court, as members of terrorist groups. Smearing Pro-Life Americans is despicable and emblematic of the ongoing politicization of the military under the Biden-Harris Administration.

            The American public expects the Department of Defense and its personnel to defend the homeland from actual terrorists, not Americans who seek protections for children in the womb. Labeling Pro-Life organizations as threats challenges servicemembers’ moral obligation to defend and protect even the smallest among us. In fact, around half of all Americans identify as Pro-Life. It is no wonder that the Army is struggling to recruit young men and women to join its ranks when it appears the service attacks their values and promotes a woke agenda rather than improving readiness and lethality.

            We understand that the anti-terrorism slide was in fact briefed to a group of soldiers as recently as July 10th. What is unclear is how long these slides have been utilized at Ft. Liberty and whether similar briefings have been used at other installations. We also understand from a statement released by Ft. Liberty that these slides were not vetted by appropriate approval authorities.  

            While Ft. Liberty’s statement asserts that the slides “do not reflect the views of the … US Army or the Department of Defense”, the American people are rightfully concerned that training of this kind is being disseminated in the first place and possibly at other military installations. The American people deserve to be assured that these slides truly do not reflect the Army’s views, that a full investigation will be conducted, and that any offending employees will be properly held accountable. Finally, we must be assured that similar materials are not being utilized at other installations across the Army. 

            Therefore, we request responses to the following questions no later than July 29, 2024: 

            Is it official Army policy to identify Pro-Life Americans and Pro-Life Organizations as “terrorist groups”?

            How long have these slides been briefed to soldiers and how many soldiers have been briefed with these slides? 

            What is the current process by which the Army reviews anti-terrorism training materials disseminated on Army bases? 

            Who are the appropriate approval authorities charged with vetting training materials disseminated to soldiers across the Army?

            What action is the Army taking to investigate the distribution of training materials depicting Pro-Life Americans as terrorists? 

            What statutes or Army regulations were potentially violated and what action is the Army taking with regard to any offending employee? 

            Will you commit to an installation-by-installation review to ensure that these or similar materials are not being disseminated elsewhere and that Army anti-terrorism training aligns with DoD anti-terrorism standard guidance and training? 

            Will you commit, in writing, that these slides will no longer be used and all future training materials reviewed will align with current DoD anti-terrorism guidance?  

            We look forward to your prompt attention and response.

            Congress Investigating Alleged Biden Attempt To Rig Election For Campaign Supporter

            2

            A congressional committee is now investigating allegations that the Biden White House tried to sway a major workplace unionization vote in favor of the United Auto Workers union bosses.

            U.S. House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) “probed senior Biden administration officials for their attempts to sway the outcome of a Mercedes-Benz unionization election,” the Committee announced in a statement

            “In a letter to Jake Sullivan, Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, Chairwoman Foxx is demanding information regarding the Biden administration’s attempts to influence the outcome of a unionization vote at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Vance, Alabama, as voting was underway,” the statement reads.

            The UAW is a major donor and political supporter of Democrats, spending a reported total of $22.64 million on politics in the 2020 election cycle, according to OpenSecrets.

             “On May 17, Mercedes-Benz employees at a plant in Vance, Alabama, voted not to join the United Auto Workers (UAW). In this election, 56 percent of the workers cast their ballots against UAW membership, with more than 90 percent of eligible workers voting in the election. Simultaneously, the UAW became the first U.S. union to file charges using a new German supply chain law. The Committee on Education and the Workforce (Committee) is concerned about recent reports of unusual and inappropriate communications between you and German government officials in what appears to be an attempt to impact the outcome of this election,” Foxx writes in in the letter.

            “On May 6, a news report stated that U.S. government officials had a phone call with German government officials and raised concerns over the Mercedes-Benz representation election in Alabama. … A later report regarding the call also indicated that you prodded Germany to examine the UAW’s allegations against Mercedes-Benz at the direct request of UAW President Shawn Fain. On May 16, the UAW announced that the German government was investigating Mercedes-Benz as a result of charges filed by the UAW in Germany. … It appears the Biden administration, through your actions, sought to put its thumb on the scale to benefit the UAW as the Mercedes-Benz election in Alabama was pending,” Fox continues, adding “It also suggests the UAW sought to use your influence and the White House’s bully pulpit to impact a union representation election.”

            Foxx asked the White House for answers to the following questions:

            Did you raise concerns with German government officials over the Mercedes-Benz representation election in Vance, Alabama, at the request of the UAW?

            In your call with German government officials, did you or any other White House official ask Germany to initiate an investigation of Mercedes-Benz before the Mercedes-Benz union representation election in Alabama concluded?

            Was the purpose of the call with German government officials to discuss the Mercedes-Benz union representation election in Alabama? Were other labor issues or representation elections discussed?

            When did the call with German government officials take place? Provide any White House call logs related to this call.

            Did you discuss your call with German government officials with any employees of the Department of Labor or the NLRB? If so, who?

            Is a local union representation election a national security issue? Why is a local union representation election occupying the time of the U.S. National Security Advisor?

            Report: Secret Service In High Alert Over Iranian Assassination Threat

              2
              President Donald J. Trump is presented with a 10th Combat Aviation Brigade challenge coin following an air assault and gun rain demonstration at Fort Drum, New York, on August 13.

              Donald Trump is reportedly under increased surveillance due to an active security threat from Iran.

              U.S. intelligence received information in recent weeks indicating an Iran-backed plot to assassinate Donald Trump, which led to increased security around the former president. CNN reported that “there’s no indication that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassin who attempted to kill the former president on Saturday, was connected to the plot, the sources said.”

              Two federal law enforcement sources told Fox News the level of the plot by Iran is unclear.

              The sources said there has been an increase in Secret Service protection to Trump in recent weeks because of the intelligence.

              The Department of Homeland Security and Secret Service has been increasingly concerned about Trump holding outdoor events, and have even expressed concern to Trump’s campaign.

              CNN Correspondent Evan Perez explained some of the known details on-air Tuesday, saying, “In recent weeks, the US government received intelligence from a human source that indicated that the Iranians were plotting to try to kill former President Donald Trump. Now, that led immediately to an increase in the protection for the former president. We heard over the weekend from the Secret Service that in recent weeks they had increased their protection for the former president.”

              “And so the question was exactly why. We now know that this is the reason why it was specific intelligence that was deemed to be credible enough, and that’s the reason why they increased the protection for the former president. It’s very important to point out that there is nothing to indicate at this point, is part of this investigation of the events on Saturday that the shooter, the would-be assassin that, tried to assassinate the former president on Saturday. There’s no indication that had anything to do with this Iranian plot. It appears to be a coincidence, obviously, but it is one of those things that is raising new questions, I think, for the Secret Service and for everybody involved in the protection of Donald Trump, how it was that these events, took place as they did on Saturday,” Perez added, referring to just how close a gunman came to Trump over the weekend.

              “How did someone, this 20-year-old person, get onto that roof, again, knowing that they had this intelligence, the Secret Service was aware of this intelligence, and they had taken obviously, some additional steps. But how did that person get on a roof and be able to fire off these shots, that almost killed, Donald Trump? Those are very, very big, important questions,” Perez added.

              Trump Names Running Mate For 2024

              And officially becomes the nominee…

              J.D. Vance, known for his memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” which explores his upbringing in a poor Rust Belt town and his family’s struggles with addiction and poverty, experienced a swift rise in the political arena. His rise saw him win election to the United States Senate in 2022 and now has put him on the cusp of becoming the next vice president of the United States.

              Driven by a compelling personal narrative, strategic alliances and the right political positioning, Vance has won the long-awaited veepstakes, as former President Donald Trump himself announced moments ago. Shortly afterward, it was announced at the Republican National Convention that Donald Trump had received enough votes to officially become the Republican presidential nominee.

              Fittingly, it was the Florida delegation that put him over the top.

              Vance’s story began in Middletown, Ohio, where he was raised in a working-class family. Despite the challenges he faced, he managed to graduate from Ohio State University and later from Yale Law School. His memoir, published in 2016, became a bestseller and brought him national attention, especially as it was seen as offering insights into the lives of many working-class Americans who felt left behind by the political establishment.

              Key Factors in His Political Rise

              1. National Recognition through “Hillbilly Elegy”: Vance’s memoir provided him with a platform to discuss broader socio-economic issues affecting the Rust Belt and working-class communities. His personal success story resonated with many Americans, giving him credibility and a wide audience.
              2. Strategic Political Alliances: Vance capitalized on his newfound fame by forging key alliances within the Republican Party. He aligned himself with prominent figures and organizations that supported his views on economic and social issues. Notably, he gained the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, which significantly bolstered his political profile among the Republican base.
              3. Media Presence and Advocacy: Vance became a regular commentator on political and cultural issues, frequently appearing on news programs and writing op-eds. His articulate defense of conservative values and critique of elite political classes garnered him a loyal following.
              4. Focus on Populist Themes: Emphasizing themes of economic nationalism, skepticism of globalism and advocacy for working-class Americans, Vance tapped into the populist sentiment that had been growing within the Republican Party. His ability to articulate these issues in a relatable manner helped him connect with a broad spectrum of voters.
              5. Support from Influential Donors: Vance received significant financial backing from influential donors and political action committees. This support enabled him to mount a strong campaign for the U.S. Senate, leveraging his network and resources to reach a wider audience.

              Political Campaign and Senate Victory

              In 2022, Vance announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat in Ohio. His campaign focused on addressing the economic concerns of Ohioans, tackling the opioid crisis and advocating for policies that would benefit the working class. His message resonated with voters, and he successfully secured the Republican nomination and won the general election.

              UPDATE: 8:25 pm

              The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman reports that Donald Trump Jr. said, “I just spoke to my father on the phone, and he is in great spirits.”

              UPDATE: 8:15 pm

              Two sources briefed The New York Times that a rally attendee was killed in the assassination attempt.

              UPDATE: 7:36 pm

              New video footage from the Butler Farm Show grounds shows the body of the attempted assassin on the roof of building approximately 400 feet from where President Trump was speaking. Gunfire from Secret Service agents killed him. The suspect’s identity remains unknown.

              The shooter on the roof fired at Trump from outside the security perimeter, using the elevated position for a clear line of sight.

              A witness on a nearby building informed a BBC reporter that he had seen the shooter crawling onto the roof with a rifle and had tried to warn law enforcement for “two or three minutes” prior to the shooting.

              UPDATE: 7:31 pm

              The Secret Service has confirmed that former President Donald Trump is safe and under protective measures following the shooting at today’s rally. A spokesperson stated that Trump is “fine” and described the incident as a “heinous act.” However, specific details about what transpired at the event remain scant.

              The suspect has been “neutralized,” according to law enforcement sources.

              ORIGINAL ARTICLE:

              A retired two-star general standing behind the president was shot, too…

              Former President Donald Trump defiantly raised his fist following an apparent assassination attempt at today’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

              Moments after the first shot rang out, Trump reached toward his ear and blood streaked across his face.

              The shots came as Trump began discussing immigration in his stump speech. Bystanders said the sound resembled that of a small-caliber weapon.

              Secret Service agents quickly whisked Trump off the stage, but not before he signaled to the crowd and appeared to shout the word “fight” multiple times.

              Billionaire Elon Musk voiced his support for Trump following the attack. “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” Musk said.

              The entrepreneur made a substantial donation to a pro-Trump super PAC backing the Republican nominee in swing states, according to a report from Bloomberg on Friday. The exact amount of the donation was not disclosed.

              Commenters on X praised the 45th president’s response, suggesting it might have secured his victory in the election.

              Additional reactions poured in.

              The alleged gunman is down, according to the county prosecutor.
